WICKERSHAM FOR RATIFYINC


 Washington. August 16.-Former Attorney General Wickersham, in a statement isued through the League to Enforce Peace today, called upon tho Senate to ratify the peace treaty with the league of nations covenant and then prepare to perfect the document by amendment through the assembly and council of the league, in the same manner, as he pointed out. the fram- CTS of the constitution provided for it's amendments by the states
 Critics of the constitution, MT. Wick ersham declared, in his statement. op- posed it because it did not contain 9 bill of rights securing the liberties of the states and the people, and the concurrence of some states-notably New York and Massachusetts-was se- cured only by promise that steps would be taken for early amendm effts to re- move the objections most strongly urged. The first Congress the form CT Attorney General recalled, redeeme ed those promises by submitting the first 10 amendments, which have been characterized as a bill of rights
 The delegates to the peace confer ence in Paris" declared Mr. Wicker sham, followed the example of the constitution of the United States by the incorporating into the covenant of the league of nations a provision for it's amendment by vote of the m em- bers of the league whose representa- : tives compose the council--now nine in number-and by majority of the members whose representatives com pose the assembly.
 Let the Senate ratify the treaty and thus avert from America the reproach of depriving the world of the great hope, the radiant promise, of world allied for the preservation of peace. Then leta those measures for improve

TOO MICH SPENDING

New York, Auguse< l6--No solution of the high cost of living can be reached until the people of the United States shake off their present spending 'intoxi- cation," according to William Mather Lewis, director of the Savings Division of the Treasury department in a state ment here today appealing to 60O0,0co Thrift and War Stamp savers to check waste through precept and example and wise buying"
 Mir. Lewis said that to lower the cost of living in New York "everyo one must begin at once to curtail expenditures for luxur.es' now selling at exorbitant prices. He declared the people themselves were to blame if prices of necessities rose because merchants observed the absolute carelessness with which people parted with their money.
 Millions of persons are not spending from their earnings but from their say ings of the past two years,' said Mir Lewis.
 Tt is essential that we keep firm hold on the savings accumulated by purchase of war finance securities, not only as a matter of selfish benefit but s a factor in bringing prices down. As Governor Harding of the federal reserve board has pointed Nout, it is absolutely neces- sary to work regularly and efficiently to produce. and distribute the largest pos sible volume of commodities and to ex- ercise reasonable economies in order tha t money. goods and services may be de voted primarily to the liquidation of debt and to the satisfaction of the de- mand for necessities"

 The pilot was the first to crawl out and announced that he was unhurt, but I replied that l was sure I had rarted with some of my skin and that l was considerably jostled yut that no bones were broken, and that I would be down as soon SIS 1 could collect my belongings which were scattered helter skelter in the bowels of the ship.
 The crowd was watching the accident with breathless interest, and soon many were racing to the scene of the mishap. After taking stock of the damage to the car, it was found that the propeller had been smashed and some of the guy wires | broken. New parts are to be rushed by express for the plane

Frank Willis Barnett and Pilot Trotter Wing Way Through Black Clouds on Return From Cock Sale-Forced Landing
 Made at Tuscaloosa
By FRANK WILLIS BARNETT

We arrived in Birmingham late Satur- day afternoon a bit shaken up. bruised and skinned after what Pilot Trotter. who during the war was an instructor in England and whose business it was to give the finishing touches to the Ameri- can army flyers before sending them for active service in France. said was the most tempestuous flight he had ever made
 He and left Demopolis Saturday morn ing headed for Tuscaloosa, where We were to spend the day and then fly to Birmingham. The start was made In ideal weather The wind was to our backs and we were flying high and fast. and it looked as if the trip would be made in record time.
 We were flying without map or com pass, trusting to be able to pick the way, but unfortunately got out of our course, and after crossing the Tombigbee at the bridge which carries the Alabama Great Southern trains over it, Pilot Trotter, dis covering that he had lost his bearings, swooped flown from d dizzy helght unti! he app e4 ed to be only few feet above the cepot

 Once more the ship passed above the bridge and afterawhile Eutaw could be seen in the distance, and then the atmos- phere changed and instead of smooth sailing, the airship began to pitch up and down, being caught in air pockets. and every. now and then it would roll from side to side

In sympathy with the statement is

Wilson and Surgeon Rupert Blue
CT the Public Health Service, l desire
to call the attention of the citizens of
Arizona to our tuberculosis problem.
Over 100000 persons die annually
from tuberculosis. On account of in
fluenza and examinations during the
war there has been an increase of
tuberculosis in practically every state
in the Union during the past year.
This is a terrible waste of life when
we realize that tuberculosis is pre-
yentable. Hundreds of people af
flicted with tuberculosis come to this
State every year, and humanity de-
mands that we do everything we can
to help these sufferers.
Every year the National ,Tubercu-
