THE FORTUNES OF WAR

Soldiers everywhere will regret the
fate OF Felipe Angeles, the one real
soldier and gentleman that has born

better fate than probably awaits him
at the hands of his Carranza enemies.
He Is one of the foremost artillery Of

lie Is given credit of having perfected
the recoil action Of the French 10, the
best piece of light artillery the world
has ever seen. He studied In France,
was n graduate Of the Chapuitepec
school where he was afterwards a
member of the faculty, made his mark
as field officer afterwards. and was
a munition inspector for the French
government in this country during the
war.
Had villa listened to him he would
now be the dictator OF Mexico. Dis
obedience to him cost villa an army
OF 10000 men, well equipped and used
to victory. He quit villa In disgust,
but never lost the idea that the peon
general represented the best aspira-
tions Of the Mexican people and re-
Joined him when 1t appeared that he
would again he able to meet Carranza
in the field. Given the material, Cen
eral Angeles would have made short
work Of the federal forces, but the
opportunity was denied him and he
was forced to flee and was living In
II cave near Parral when captured.
He Is to be tried by court martial In
chihuahua. IL Is a foregone conclu-
sion that his enemies will execute him,
If they are able. With his passing will
go out the one pure flame of genius
that has burned during the revolu-
ton.

VACATION TIME
From the Detroit Free Press1

tFrom the Detroit Free PressJ
With June's long. warm days come
thoughts of vacations, those inter-
walls of rest and recreation so es-
sential to physical and mental re-
freshments and renewal. Everyone
needs to get "out of the rut' at
least once year, otherwise the
monotony wears like a grain of sand
between hub and axle, making for
friction. True, there are some ufe-
fortunates who are so firmly fixed,
in their grooves that they cannot
enjoy a vacation because it takes
them from the only zest they
know; and there are others to whoIf.
life is all vacation in that thev are
at liberty to roam as they please.
and neither know the real joy of
freedom from care and RESPONSE
bility.
Several items demand considera-
ton in planning the workers vaca-
ton, as distance, expense, compan-
ionship. The usual time limit neces-
states short journeys, too much of
1t must not be spent in transit:
rail and hotel rates must be con-
sidered; if we "go cousining" we
must not put acquaintanceship to
too severe a test. A change of scena
and association also is desirable.
though one requires a companion
able companion as a standby. A
vacation is good test of the genu-
ineness of a friendship. The little
irritations and inconveniences of a
journey try the stun of which a
friend is made.
Vacations have done much for. the
minds and manners of the Ameri-
can people. Getting away from
hone educates Is in the c1istoros
and observances of others. However
careless or brusdue we may be at
home we take along our best man
ners as well as our best clothes
when we make holiday. The social
life of summer resort plazzas is
observed and initiated, and we try
to act as IL we were accustomed
to the same thing at home-only a
little moro OF 1t, perhaps-due to
the human tendency to swank.
The best holiday is that which
provides the largest amount of new
experiences; one of it's best fruits
is a new friendship.

BRITAIN HOPES TO RULE AIR
Mastery Enough for the Far Flung Empire
[From the New York Tribune.

May II, 1918, and just becoms
available to the American public
through the Manufacturers Air
craft Association.
BY far the most remarkable part
of the report is the reservation
made by Frank Pick, one of the
members of the committee. when
signing it, In it Mr.. Pick says:
The strategic position of this
country in relation to the air differs
fundamentally from the strategic
position in relation to the sea. So
long as the shores of the North At
lantic are occupied by the leading
civilized peoples, so long the Brit
ish position is advantageous as a
center of sea power. But if air
power is to usurp to any degree the
place of sea power and this seems
probable so long as flight over land
holds appreciable advantages over
flight over sea, so the position of
a country placed centrally as re-
CARDS land must be superior to the
position of a country placed GEN.
trally as regards water
"Our self interest, therefore, as a
great power lies toward an inter-
national settlement of air SOW
ereignty.
THE right to pass across other
national territory without let or him
drance, relief from varying terms
and conditions attaching to flight
which may be onerous and irksome,
the absence of customs restraints
or tariff restrictions, and generally
the absence of the apparatus for
hampering or artifically routing
trade are all wanted. On all these
grounds it is submitted that the
case for an international settlement
is strengthened"

INVEST THAT SURPLUS
TFrom Fourth Estatel

The large amount of advertising
business now going out is evidence
that the suggestion made In TINS
paper a few weeks ago to the erect
that surplus earnings be put back
into the business in the form of ad-
vertising is being needed. 1t is a
business-like thing to do, and the
habit once acquired will be likely
to last.
The fact that Government bu-
reaus are placing their business
through the advertising agencies
inst as other advertisers are doing,
pives them thus a recognition that
is both gratifying and well deserved.
The day has gone by when the big
advertiser thought that he could
handle his advertising direct. 1t
requires skill, training. and classi-
fed and thorough knowledge as to
mediums that the private individual
or even the big firm or corporation
cannot afford to acquire, especially
when 1t is considered that it is his
for the asking if he goes to a good
aeencv. It has taken the Govern
ment a good while to get around to
that viewpoint, but 1t is there at
last. and, no doubt, there to stay.
And here is a point for the ulti-
mate consumer to bear in mind, and
that is that quantity production,
made possible by big advertising,
tends toward a lowering of prices,
for the greater the output the
smaller the unit cost of production.

DdWn Of NeW Era
Fourth Estate1

The prediction made in The
Fourth Estate some months ago,
soon after the signing of the armi-
stice, that we were approaching the
greatest era of advertising the coun-
try had ever known, is being amply
fulfilled at the present time, and this
is only the beginning.
The war is over. We have paid
the price for world democracy in
blood and in billions of money. We
have earned the right to a period OF
prosperity, and it is at hand.
That the big advertisers now be-
lieve what this paper has long main
tanned, that judicious advertising
should be considered as an invest
ment and not as an expense, is amply
proven by the very large number OF
full page advertisements in the daily
papers. Those ads cost real money
great chunks of it, but the adver-
tisers evidently have faith that they
are merely casting bread upon the
waters that will surely come back
to them MANIFOLD.
That we have entered upon new
period of the advertising business Il
also evidenced by many things be-
sides the large space being used. Fol
one. several of the advertising agents
are taking their own medicine, and
not in homeopathic doses either, fol-
they are using full pages in dailies
in the big cities. This is radical
departure, and one that must com
mand the respectful attention OF the
business world. Where these men
lead the national advertiser need not
hesitate to follow.
Another significant thing about re-
cent developmen is the fact that
the United States Government is now
paving the market price for its ad-
vertising, instead of begging for the
space that is the stock in trade OF the
publisher, and which he has given
freely to the government during the
war.
There is one more point that 1t is
especially pleasing to the publishers
to note. and that is that there is
steady increase in the percentage oil
advertising outlay that goes to the
newspa pers. This has been noted by
the experts for the past five years
the trend in this direction havinf
been especially strong in the pas'
few months.

of $3.50 is required for each state

In Section 5, it is provided that the
State Highway Commissioner when
ever he shall receive the report of
the theft of a motor vehicle, whether
this vehicle has been registered in
pennsylvania or not or whether II. is
owned in this State OF another State.

file it in numerical order with the rec

which the State Highway Commits
sioner has been notified, it shall be
the duty of the owner Immediately
to notify the State Highway Commits
sioner, who shall cause the record OF
the theft to be removed from the
file.
Section 6, provides that no trade
mark, manufacturing number or any
other distinguishing mark on any
motor vehicle may be destroyed or
obliterated.
In Section Z, 1t is made unlawful
for any person to have in his pos
session any motor vehicle or parts
thereof from which Identification
numbers or marks have been remov-
ed, obliterated or covered. 1t is pro-
vided in this section that persons
having in their possession cars from
which Identification marks have been
removed, obliterated or changed,
shall be presumed to have knowl-
edge thereof, and the burden of proof
shall rest upon such person to show
that he had no such knowledge" Po-
lice officers are instructed that they
must Immediately seize cars on which
numbers have been obliterated and
arrest the owners or custodians.
Section 8 provides that proprietors
of public garages must keep a record Of
the names of all persons owning or
having charge of vehicles stored or
left for repairs or other purposes at
the public garage, together with the
make, manufacturers number, name
of the State or registration and the
registration number.
After July /, 1919, it is provided in
Section 8, of the Act, it is unlawful
for any person to carry on in Penn
sylvania the business of selling or
dealing in used motor vehicles un-
less he shall have received a license
from the State Highway Commission
er authorizing him to conduct such a
business.

LIGHTS FOR VEHICLES

GTATE HIGHWAY COMMIS-
= sIoNER sADLER will have the
support of the public in the en-
forcement OF the new law requiring
that all vehicles, excepting hay
wagons and farm machinery, using
the roads at night carry lights. This
is a statute that ought to have been
enacted long ago.
The automobilist will welcome the
new regulation and the farmer ought
not to complain, for it will be as
much a benefit for him as a help to
the man plotting a car over the
highways after nightfall.
No wagon not carrying a light is
safe, with traffic as heavy as it is
on all the main highways, and both
the automobilist and the driver of
the wagon or carriage is protected
by the statute which Mr.. Sadler has
announced he will enforce to the
letter.

HoD to Enjoy a Smoke

Representative Robert Y. Thomas,

House of Representatives
If man wants a good, comfort
able soul satisfying smoke he should
get Kentucky or a Missouri corn
cob pipe and some natural leaf hill
side tobacco and go out into the
country to a log farmhouse and sit
in the front yard under an old oak
tree, in his shirt sleeves, with his
shirt unfastened in front and his
suspenders down, close by an old
well of cool water with a sweep and
an old, moss covered bucket. There
he can get the right kind of smoke,
such as the denizens of crowded,
profiteerins cities never dreamed of
in their philosophy, while with half
closed eyes he watches the curling,
fragrant smoke drift away and min
gle with the lazy. fleeting clouds
while he dreams of home and
heaven,
