AlR SERVICE Of ARMY.

The air service of the United States
army offers wonderful possibilities at
the present time. The a%irplane's de-
syelopment is In the future; the rast
will be as nothing compared to Its
accomplishments In the years to
come. Today we are following with
eager interest the arrangements for
the proposed transatlantic flight. A
new employment, alrplane mechanics,
will be in evidence. They will have to
be the best and will, therefore, cou-
mand the highest wages. When your
automobile has trouble" you stop and
fix 1t. If your future airship mall
functions you will have to reach the
ground before you stop. Before flying.
therefore, a machine must be thor
oughly tested In every part to see that
everything is right. The mar who en-
lists in the air service of the United
States army today will go into II at a
time when It's development is to be the
greatest, says Portland Express. He
will become familiar with everything
concerning the science and at the end
Of his three years period of enlist
ment will come out of 1t a supreme
chanic. In addition, he will be able
to embark in the airplane profession ut
a time when the flying era will be in
it's infancy, and he can grow up with It.
