u. 8. Air Service Wants
. More Flight Surgeons

The medical officers who have
served in the Army Air Service as
Flight Surgeons have been partic-
ularly active and the Importance of
their work has been recognized by the
Air Service authorities. The Air Serv-
Ice now requires that Flight Sur
geon be detailed at each of Its Is
active fields.
Owing to the discharge of q large
number of temporary medical officers.
the Air Service needs a number of
medical officers Of the permanent es-
Enlistment, as Flight Surgeons.
Medical officers below the grade of
Lieutenant Colonel, who desire duty
OF this character, should communi-
cate with the Chief Surgeon, Air Serv-
ice, Washington, D. c., who will I'LL
vacancies from among those who vol
unteer.
Flight Surgeons have full charge
OF everything connected with the
physical condition and care Of the
flyer, and live and associate with the
cadets and aviators constantly. In
this way they are able to determine
when any individual is not In proper
condition to fiy. Many of these sur
ge0ns take flying training and become
pilots, authority having been granted
medical oficers to receive this train
Ing. When they qualify, they are en-
titled to all the rights and privileges
OF aviators including the wings, "
and also O Is per cent increase In

Medical of1cers who have been Flight
Surgeons are enthusiastic over this
work. They have undoubtedly saved
many lives and much property.

SERVICE OF STUDENTS
CORPS ACKNOWLEDGED

The status OF the Students Army
Training Corps as an integral part Of
the Army has been definitely estab-
lished by recent action OF the War
Department In amending the orders
concerning the award OF the Victory
Medal SO as to include the members
OF the 8. A. T. C. In the list of those
eligible.
Following the publication of the
order concerning the award of the
Service Medal by General March, the
war Department Immediately re-
ceiveds many communications asking
for q decision concerning the status
or the student organizations. Com
munities desiring to erect memorials
to men who served in the Army and
Navy during the war have asked for
an opinion as to whether members OF
the s. A. T. C. should be included
In lists OF such memorials.
In reply to these questions the War
Department has said that the mem
hera OF the s. A. T. G. properly In
Quoted into the Service were on active
duty In the U. s. Army and were an
integral part Of the land forces. This
decision, while not binding on any
community which desires to erect a
memorial tablet to men in the Service,
Is Official acknowledgement of the
service OF the S. A. T. G. by the War
Department.

AUTOMATIC AIR BOMBER
DESTRUCTIVE WEAPON

What is regarded as one Of the
most destructive weapons invented
during the war has been placed in the
secret archives of the War Depart
ment at Washington, there to remain,
it is hoped even by the inventor, for
all time.
Secretary Baker at Fort Worth, in
speech favoring the League of Ma
lions, disclosed the nature of this de-
vice. which was being developed by
c. F. Kettering at the Dayton
Wright experimental plant up to the
signing of the armistice.
Mr.. Baker stated that under auto
matte control an airplane carrying a
heavy load and operated without hu-
man guide had made a trip Of 100
miles and landed close to the point it
was adjusted to reach; that it was de-
signed as the most horrible instru-
ment of war, and that 1t was one Of
the most wonderful pieces Of mech
anism for wars destructive purposes
The idea was to use small plane
produced at a very low cost, the fuse
lage being in the form Of q torpedo,
which was designed to be loaded with
mustard" gas and a heavy charge
OF high explosive. The radius of ac-
ton was not quite 100 miles. The
machine required NO special field for
taking of and when "set" was expect
ed to travel certain distance, when
the wings would collapse and the ma
chine drop to earth, that part of the
earth the inventor had in mind being
the big cities and towns within its
radius from the Allied front.

FOR FUTURE RESERVE OFFICERS

EOIe r Il ~ HE kOG1<0121WV - OE H ANAAAN10
It is authoritatively stated that the
six Reserve Oficers' Training Corps
Camps TO be opened ON June 21st are
not for officers now commissioned in
the Army Reserve Corps but for stu
dents who are members of the vari-
GUS educational institutions having
Reserve Officers Training Corps
Units. These camps are intended to
train future reserve officers and not
for officers who hold commissions
now. A six weeks course for these
men will be held at Camps Devens,
Lee, Zachary Taylor. Custer and Fun
ston, and the Preside of San Fran
cisco.
Communications received by the
War Department indicate that there
has been widespread misunderstand-
ing upon this subject. Reserve off,
GERS will not be called for training
this year. Owing to the absence OF
legislation effecting the reorganiza-
ton of the Army, nothing more def
mite concerning the annual training
for Reserve OfIicers, those now hold
ing reserve commissions can be an
nounced at present.

ABOUT THE RuTHT0N PARk

As a memorial tribute to the coun-
tvs heroes Of the great war We can
think of no site more peculiarly suit
able than Ruthton hill. As TO recon.
mendations for monumental embellish-
ments there In the way of shafts or
pyramids, we have none. Ii is enough
for US that the slightly promontory will
be donated to the county and set aside
as public property, dedicated to the
memory Of the men who made the su-
preme sacrifice. Comparatively speak
ing few dollars will turn it into a
rest spot for those who tour the High
way. A simple bronze table can tell
Of the purposes to which it will be ded-
icated. If the citizens, in general, Of
the county desire to express their feel
ings and respect by monument on
lieve any who have promoted the
Ruthton project will object.
But we would like to interject here a
point that perhaps few have consid-
cred Ii will require vast sum to
put on the prosaic courthouse lawn a
monument that would be for US last
ing pride, something that would at
tract every visitor among US.
Ruthton hill is monument in itself.
Indeed. a little landscaping. a bronze
tablet and the great gorge promontory
will be turned into monument to the
soldiers
We would soon grow callous TO IA
monument on the courthouse lawn,
while the Ruthton monument, shrine
to be visited on special occasion, would
bring rededication of our feelings
every time we visited there. Our con-
temporary thought Ruthton hill should
not be chosen because all of US did not
have automobiles and could not visit it.
On the spur of the moment we can
think OF no non-motor car owners ex-
cept our contemporary editor and our
selves, but we know that friends will
see that we get lift to Ruthton
whenever we want it.
Eventually all such points of promi-
nence along the Columbia River High
way will be dedicated to the embellish-
ment of some principle or idea of civic
or patriotic thought Let US reserve
the Ruthton hill promontory to keep
green our memory of the deeds of our
soldiers.

NEED FOR HOMES

The recent beneficial epidemic of
home buying in Hood River was only
ended when there were no other.resi.
dental properties on the market. OF
course, the foregoing statement is not
strictly true, but we do mean that the
residence property available for pur
chase is relatively scarce in Hood Rlv-
er at present. The existing situation
is one that is not for the best welfare
of the city. If more good houses were
available here We believe our popula
tion might be increased by the scores.
1t will soon be school time, but fami-
lies with children to educate will not
locate in town where only shacks can
be leased.

RESORTS

Local vaeationists just back from

the road leading into the remote forst-

Sunday as the Columbia Highway.
More than 100 members of outing par
ties motored to the district over the
week end for pienies and to fish for
trout. Lines of cars 20 in number
streamed along over the crooked road.
The heavy traffic over the earth road,
it is declared, will soon make the coun-
ty highway, to connect with the new
Lost Lake road, almost impossible.
Numerous local families establish
summer camps in the Lost Lake dis
triet. At the confluence Of the Lake
