bombs on Germanrailroads are excel
letn training for construction bosses
At last so says Mr.. Henri Bouchc
Paris contractor. who advocates the
employment of Frances Air Force in
aiding the reconstruction projects in
Northern France.
According to Mr.. Bouche, aviators
can immensely facilitate the following
three phases of the work;
tl) Obtaining valuation of dam
ages.
t2) Planning the reconstruction
work
CD Supervising actual rebuilding
Taking census of the damages will
be a work involving innumerable phy-
steal obstacles IL undertaken only by
inspectors on the ground. Bouche
points out that aviators. unhampered
by the impassibiiity of the roads and
trench-hned fields. can easily recon
noiter the whole front. take pictures
when necessary. and in a few hours
accomplish what it would take
months TO do by any other means.
Attaching the reconstruction prob
lem, says Bouche. will do not unlike

attacking an opposing army. At ffrs'
the reconnaissance must be made
exact knowledge obtained of condt-
| tions prevailing, whether it be an army
or an immense waste that is to be at
tackled. Just as the fliers used to look
for German batteries they must now
seek out ruined towns, destroy bridges
and shell ridden fields.
Thus by gathering Photographic
records of the ruined areas aviators
can assist the evaluation of damages
upon when the reparation figures are
to be based.
Then when the amount of damages
has been determined. the aviators can
be assigned the task of planning the
reccnstructions. Being able to gain
both mental and visual prospective
of the task. they can draw up the
plans for rebuilding the vast waste
area.
Finally. the actual supervising of
the work can best be carried on from
the air Just as the aviators used to
report the results of the artillery fire.
they can in the future report the daily
progress of the various rebuilding pro-
jects. In this manner a real coordi-
nation can be obtained and the work
out along really comprehen-
sive lines.

The Fairy
CObbler
By FOLGER McKINSEY

The little leaf, the gold leaf, the
green leaf and the red, y
Beside the little bench where he
| labors at are spread;
And one ne takes, and two he takes
and three he takes and four
And sews them with the fairy strand
the sunbeams wove Of yore.
A brown leaf for soles, oh,
A gold leaf and red,
There sits the fairy cobbler
With his waxen-end and thread
For all the fairy people in the hol-
lows of the hill
He makes the crimson slippers, and
he whistles with a will;
he huns a tune at morning and he
huns a tune at night,
And there he sits a-se wing in the
silver moonbeam's slight.
A maple leaf for slippers,
AnG an oak leaf strong and
brown
For shoes for little fairies
That may travel into town.
He cuts the fairy pattern with
sharp and wondrous knife,
H: straps the sole upon his knee and
sews for all his life;
His little awl goes flying as he makes
The holes for thread
The little leaf. the gold leaf the
green leaf round him spread. +
tThey1! come tonight and ask him
If their shoes are nearly done,
And then he'll frown and grumble,
Ard away, away they'll run.

Out there we rust

On fairy feet
The world was mine
To take therefrom
What ere l pleased
Each human being
Was to me
A burlesque or
A tragedy.
The pavement meant
A council row.
The buildings
Strikes
And graft~snd labor
The atmosphere

Each was a throbbing story
Each in pathos
And humor was blent.

And l was content
The world was mine
Who would be bothered

Have an Understanding,

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
am a young man, "a years old, and
am coming to you for little advice.
l am keeping company with a girl
OF %. l am very much in love with
this young lady and have told her
so. Is that as much as is necessary
for a proposal? Am not certain
she takes 1t that way. Or must I out
and out ask her to marry me?
We are both Of very jealous dis
position, and she is as friendly with
her other boy friends as with me.
Do you think she would act so If
she loved me? I try to treat her
as~I feel, the only girl in the world.
How am l going to find out wheth-
er she loves me. have asked her
not to keep company with other
boys and l would keep company
with no other girls. She said she
didn't care for more than one at a
time. Was it all right for me to
ask her to do this?
She is very attractive and has a
winning disposition, and she is as
we'll liked by old as young, but
know II I was as social with other
girls as she Is with other boys she
wouldn't hardly speak to me.
Would it be all right for mo to
tell her frankly I don't like 1t?
Hoping to see the answer in print
soon, will close. B.;L. M.
Declarations of love are usually
accompanied by a proposal Of mar
riage. and I have no doubt the
young woman thinks it strange that
you have not made your intentions
known. If you are not engaged to
her you have no right to dictate as
to her other friends. Have an I'M
Outstanding with her concerning the
future and you will both be hap
