AIRMAN'S NECESSARY STUNTS

1t is a paradox of preparedness that
a man risks his life over the aviation
training field that he may stand a
better chance of saving it in scenes of
actual combat. And this is something
to be borne in mind by those thought
less ones who confuse the doors of
stunts" in the air, say at Mineola or
at Nashville, with such reckless flyers
as in the earlier days of the aero
plane were wont to loop-the-loop above
the skyscrapers of New York.
The young flyers in training are ed
ucating their heads, their hands and
their hearts to a perilous business.
They are learning lessons of GOODNESS
and control They are schooling
themselves to quick thought and agil-
ity in circumstances making of Vital
importance the ability to think quickly
and dodge unexpectedly. Sad as are
the continual reports of deaths by ac-
cident at our aviation training camps,
writes Edwin Bidwell Wilson in the
Yale Review, 'we may rest assured
that for an undetermined pilot to go
overseas to the front is almost GER
tainly fatal, and that for every life
lost in training, many are saved in
fighting"
Along with quickness, the student in
military aviation acquires confidence,
too, and confidence is a marvellous
multiplier of resources. Since flying
in war began, many movements. such
as nose-diving and tail-spinning, have
been added to the old list of exhibit
tion tricks. Impromptu moves, made
in emergencies have later become regu-
lar parts of tn game. They hav mad
impossible in the first instance to the
average mana who had never been
brought to see what he could do in the
air. Training for the flying service
takes its toll; there is no doubt that in
the larger terms it pays for it's own
thoroughness-New York World.

FIENDISH GERMAN CRUELTY.

"a years old when the authorities
learned that his son was one of those

such fiendish things? Do you think
it much of sacrifice to pledge your
self to save and to buy War Savings
Stamps?

FEDERALIZIN RAILROAD MANAGE.
MENT.

Director General McAdoo will place
! in direct charge of each railroad FOL
operating purposes representative tc
be known as federal manager
These federal managers will be
chosen, So far as practicable, from the
operating officers of their respective
! railroads.
The federal manager of each rail.
road will endeavor to avail himself
to the fullest extent of his railroad
organization. This, it is believed, will
secure the best results during govern.
ment control, and reassure the officers
and employees of railroads and the
stockholders of the protection of the
just interest of ALL
The responsibility for the operation
of the roads will be directly upon the
regional directors, to whom the fed
eral managers reprt, and not upon
the railroad board of directors, though
the latter will be consulted and ac-
corded the fullest opportunity tot keep
advised Of the operation of the prop
erty
The regional directors and federal
managers will be required to sever
their official relations with their re-
spective companies and become ex-
clusiVely representatives Of the United
States Railroad Administration.
The effect of this order will be to
dents of the respective railroads, but
it Is thought that in many cases the
presidents of the railroads will be
made federal managers. 1t will
largely be change of status and au-
thority rather than of personnel, and
while not initiating against the well
fare of the various roads will secure
the fullest cooperation and unity in
the government administration OF
Transportation 1t is simply fed
eralization of railroad management.
With this change will come large
reduction in salaries, though it is be-
Iieved that most of the regional di-
rectors will receive greater salary
than Secretary McAdoo himself.
Director General McAdoo states that
the policy adopted will be applied with
the greatest possible regard for all the
interests affected, and with view to
preserving intact, so far as reason
ably practical, the operating organiza-
tions of the railroads.

REST INVESTMENT In THE WORLD

From whatever angle it may be con-
sidered, an investment by an Ameri-
can citizen in Liberty Bonds or War
Savings Stamps is the best investment
in the world.
The money so invested goes to the
government, which loans some of it
to our allies; all of it is used in one
way or another to maintain, support,
arm, equip and make victorious our
armies and our allies in Europe.
Surely no American money could be
put to better purpose. Here is an
investment in the power and success
Of our country, an investment in the
efficiency. strength, safety and sue
cess of our fighting men on sea and
land
We do not know what commercial
and industrial conditions are tot be
when the war closes, but we do know
that Liberty Bond and other United
States government securities will be
sound an secure. Every dollar
loaned the government by our eople
now is dollar saved for the time
when peace comes. With their saw
,ngs invested in these sound securities,
the American people will Re we'll pre-
pared to meet the problems that peace
will bring. 1t is species of insurance
for that day.

THE ICE SITUATION

approximately twelve million dollars
There are also the plums and cantel-
oupes to be marketed, and later on
the melons will be shipped.
These fruits require ice and lots OF
it. Without sufficient icing for the
cars, indeed, the crops will be total
loss, and thousands of farmers will
be disastrously affected.
Because there is temporary short
age in ice, the state food administra
ton has directed conservation OF
this product for four or five weeks, and
anyone who does not ungrudgingly
comply with the order does not have
the material interests of his state at
heart.
Regarding the situation, the Albany
Herald says
"The Georgia peach crop alone is
worth approximately $12,OOO,OO0. Only
fourth of it has been gathered and
shipped. That yet, TO go forward is
worth approximately 100000. TIL
cars in which these hundreds of thous-
ands of crates are to be shipped will
require $4,000 tons of ice for safe re-
frigeration, and only 28,000 tons is
now held in storage by the ice plants.
The rest, $4,000 tons, must be saved
out of the regular output of ice plants
in the state, as the shortage of am
monia has prevented the construction
of new plants or the enlargement of
those already in operation
"The ice conservation order of the
state food administrator will inevita-
bly, inconvenience a considerable part
of the public, and particularly those
families living in the larger communi-
ties. The people of Georgia have been
accustomed to have all the ice they
wanted, and it is not a pleasant hot
weather experience to find consump-
ton materially cut down
But in view of the explanation DIR
Soule has given to the public, protest
cannot be gracefully made The Geor
gia peach industry represents the in
vestment of millions of dollars and is
a source of great wealth to the state.
To sacrifice the present crop would
not only be criminal waste, but would
involve indefensible injustice to the
owners Of peach orchards. DR.. Soule
did the sensible thing, and public SEN
timent will uphold him.
However, there is in reality the
menace of an ice famine confronting
the entire country, and the prime rea-
son for this likelihood is the shortage
of ammonia. This situation has been
known to the chemists for year or
more Ammonia is in limited supply,
and its production cannot be increased
rapidly enough to meet the needs of
the country. The war department was
advised of this, so we are told, year
or more ago, and the serious danger
of an ice famine pressed upon it's at
tention, but it took apparently no
necessary action to increase the sup
ply of ammonia needed for war pur-
poses, until it was so late in the day
that now the entire country is in
danger of an ice famine as a result of
the delay, so that ammonia may be
supplied for war needs
Scarcity of labor and lack of fuel
are also contributory reasons, this
being especially true in our section
of the country.
Whatever the reasons, the situation
is one the public will appreciate, once
it is informed, and we apprehend nc
further objections and complaints.
