TO SIMPLIFY AIRPLANEs
Aviation Officials VIII Try to
Reduce the Number of Parts.

Amazing figures as to the
number of parts and amount of
material entering into construc-
rion of an airplane have been
assembled by army aviation
officials in an effort to simplify
construction as a means Of
fastening production. While the
present program cannot be de
Iayed for the result of this inves-
tigation, it appears likely that a
way will be found later to re-
duce greatly the number Of parts
and kinds of material now need
ed.
Exclusive of the engine, there
are hundreds of parts in the
structure of an airplane, and eV-
en- when built-up sections of the
frame are regarded as single
parts, there remain nearly 200
separate pieces to be assembled
into a completed machine. That
is exclusive Of screws, nails, and
similar items.
These are the things necessa-
ry 10 build a machine without
its engine:
Nails, 1926; screws, 3,377
steel stampings, Cpl; forgings
1893; turnbuckles, 276; veneer
81 square feet; wire, 1892; var

CONGRATULATIONS!

Elmer Dover, who had charge of the Third
Liberty Loan campaign in Tacoma, is entitled to
the congratulations of the whole city for its UNI
rivalled success.
Not only did Tacoma "go the top''-that
was foregone cOncusion-but Tacoma over-sub-
scribed handsomely and did it at the beginning in
stead Of the end of the months drive Further
more, this patriotic outpouring of resources was
done by ALL Tacoma, for q, 900 individuals took
bonds, and that number must represent practically
every home in the city.
But more than this, Tacoma out of this campaign
learned some further lessons in civic cooperation
that will abide. The manner in which Victory Hall
arose and the good feeling engendered between
previously unharmonous elements, and later the
good work of bringing together the foreign-born
citizens of the community long will benefit the town
These fine results, it should be remarked, were
due in large measure to that wonder working force
PUBLICITY, especially newspaper publicity.
Louis Bean, the chairman Of that committee, must
share with Mr.. Dover of the honors for Ia
comas big success.
All in all it has been great month. 1t has again
taught us that we can do anything set out to do
All we need is clear-sighted leadership such as we
had in this drive, spirit of work-togcther and en-
thusiasm.

Proper Occasions for Fear

Light forever follows darkness, good often comes
from evil, and courage is often born Of fear
Fear is of the strongest of human instincts
and one of the first to develop in the child. There
is no reason to be ashamed if afraid, for our
ancestors have wished this horror us down
the ages But to be ruled by fear is credit to an
intelligent man or woman. The less an individual
fears, the more civilized he is.
''The progress from brute to man is character
lied by nothing so much as the decrease in fire.
quency of proper occasions for fear wrote William
James, first among American psychologists.
There are, evidently, few ''proper occasions"
for fear but still it is quite possible for compacent
and nimaginative persons to live thru their gener-
alton without experiencing the feeling at ALL Even
the atrocities committed by the Hunnish hordes
do not touch certain minds and hearts. James, al
tho he died some years ago, hit such cases in this
paragraph:
''We conclude Cf we know no fear) that the hor
rors we hear of are but sort of painted tapestry
for the chambers in which we lie so comfortably at
peace with ourselves and with the world
Evidently fear must have very positive value
if it can rouse an individual from such lethargy.
And in fact fear has often benefited man. Fear of
hunger forced man to SOW and reap Fear Of pain
drove him to cure disease. Fear of poverty drove
him to thrift. Fear like most elemental emotions,
has it's positive and its negative values. UndOubted-
ly, it is an instinct to conquer when burglar in
vades the home, or when soldier faces the enemy
But undoubtedly, it is an instance which will
strengthen righteous hate-when kaiser draws
the sword
Unless you know what fear is you cannot appre-
ciate courage and you will not sufficiently honor
the brave who fight your battles overseas.
Don't fear your fears Don't be ashamed of
your fears. Control them as you love your coun-
try and its defenders Conserve them as you hate
the Hun.

MEDAL FOR THIS
Cincinnati authority tells
how to dry up a corn so
it lifts out.

You corn-pestered men and
women need suffer no longer.
Wear the shoes that nearly killed
you before, says this Cincinnati
authority, because a few drops Of
freezone applied directly on ten
der, aching corn stops soreness at
once and soon tho corn loosens so
1t can be lifted out, root and all,
without pain. 4ae,s. ,,.
A quarter of an ounce of free
zone costs very little at any drug
store. but is sufficient to take off
every hard or soft corn or callus.
This should be tried, as 1t is inex-
pensive and Is said not to inflame
or even irritate the surrounding
