passenger, and I'd be willing to pay
a pretty good-sized fare for the
privilege. Omaha is in the track of
transcontinental travel by rail as 1t
was by ox-team. 1t certainly must
be on the main air routes across
the continent.
Omaha can give this company
the biggest kind of welcome, and if
Mr.. Lawson wants to establish an
airplane factory anywhere he can't
find a better town than Omaha. The
city government will do all in its
power to encourage the Lawson en-
terprise or any other enterprise of
this nature"
City Commissioner Zimman and
FOWL expressed the city's desire to
do all in its power to help the Laws
son project.
The air lanes, 50 far as charted,
make Omaha the logical halfway
station for transcontinental air
lines" said Commissioner Zimman.
THE air in the latitude of Omaha
is better suited for air travel east
and west, they say, than the air
north or south of here, just as the
land is best suited to the construc-
ton of railways. There is no doubt
that we will do everything possible
to help along this project"

Cross-Country Air
Squadron to Start On
Its Trip Thursday

The United States army cross
country airplane squadron, enroute
from Boston to Dallas, will leave
New York today for Boston un-
der the command of Lieut.-Col. H.
B. Clagett, according to word re-
ceived at the Omaha army headquar
ters yesterday.
Though no schedule had been
given out, it was stated three weeks
ago that the squadron would stop
over in Omaha for a day, landing at
the Ak-Sar-Ben field on West Cen
ter street The squadron includes
seven battle planes, all of which
were in action on the western front
during the war.
The trip is being made in the in
terests of recruiting. While in
Omaha the pilots, who are making
the flight, will give exhibitions in
fancy flying over the downtown sec
ton. Arrangements are being made
by the Chamber of Commerce to
entertain the aviators during their

ed relief work should not also be
extended to German-Austria."
The committee has authoritative
information that the want of food
and clothing, particularly among the
children OF Germany and German
Austria is heartrending. Thousands
of children have found an untimely
grave on account of the lack of
milk and fats. aud the present gen
Grafton is so undernourished that
scientists fear that they will never
grow to full maturity.
The federal food department of
the United States has already ship
ped large amount of food stuffs to
Germany and Austria, but the time
has arrived for private initiative to
eliminate the terrible suffering
caused by the blockade during the
war. The local Germans are trying
to do their share, and call upon the
citizens in general to assist them in
this worthy work.
A permanent organization will be
started next Sunday to carry on this
relief work. 1t is already well I'M
der way in every principal city of
the east.

Along with the proposition the Fis-

They do things. No other kind Of a

Engineers Only Can
Do the Job Right

An editorial in the Courier Journal
says:
The Highway Commission of Lenoir
county. ". T., win undertake road
construction involving the expenditure
OF $4,000, 900. II is announced that the
commission wants TO engage an en-
glneer.
Applications will be considered, but
no personal interviews viii be granted
until an applicant has furnished in
formation requested in qualification
blanks now ready for inquirers.'
In other words engineers only need
apply
Here is lesson in progress which
should be considered by every Ken
lucky county which contemplates cop
structing and maintaining system of
improved roads.
\ That a single county will spend
SO, 100000 upon roads. the proceeds of
a bond issue, will surprise many Ken
tuckians. That the county which has
issued 100000 worth of bonds is one
containing, no large city-Kinston Is
its greatest center of population-will
be the cause of second surprise. The
indications are that Lenoir county
looks ar-sightedly at the effect of
improved roads. 1t is not surprising
that county which has such vision
OF the value of hard roads is awake to
the fact that the fundamental factor
in the problem of obtaining them, af-
ter raising the fund, is the procure
ment Of qualified engineer to con-
struct the roads and bridges, making
every dollar of the 100000 go as far
as it will toward county Improvement.
The services of a qualified engineer
are to be had at bargain, by compar-
ison with the services of a jerry build
er who costs more in waste of money
than in the way of salary, by county
spending $4,000 as well as by one
spending s2,OO0,O00. The difference
between the pay of a practical man
and an engineer canpot be counted as
that much money saved when county
money is spent under Indifferent super
vision.
