LEGION TO FIGHT FOR
UNIVERSAL MILITARY
TRAINING FOR YOUTH
Leaders Have Not Abandoned Orisi
nal Intention To Keep Legion
Out OF Politics

Washington.-Th American Legion
will begin an aggressive campaign at
once to secure a universal military
training law, leaders stated here.
This activity will be intensive dur
ing the months Immediately preceding
the congressional elections next No
vember
Although leaders have not abandon
ed Their original intention to keep the
legion out OF politics, every congress-
man who goes home to obtain re-elec-
tion will find his constituents thor
oughly primed On the question of uni
versal training, they said.
Officers of the American Legion
nave noted the success of the Prohi-
bitionists, Organized Labor and Won
an Suffrage workers in card-indexing
congressman. While they are not pre-
pared to go to the lengths some of
these organizations did in attempting
to secure passage of certain measures.
American Legion officials are conVinc-
ed of the necessity and desirability OF
universal military training that con-
gressmen opposing it may expect diff
ficult campaigns next summer.

BREATHE ROCK DUST

Investigations in chemical factories
showed that laborerS were frequently
exposed to poisonous fumes and gases.
The investigation was made ut Nj
agara Falls because plants were en-
gagged in the manufacture of abras-
ives, chemicals. gases, electrodes. car
hons. metals and alloys In all of the
factories the lahorerS were found to
be exposed to dangers which would
eventually incapacitate them for fur
Their work. Fortunately over 60 per
cent of the labor in these plants seeks
new employment monthly and the re-
suit of exposure to such dangers is
not evident as it would be if the work
erS remained at the same work for
longer periods.
AS a result of the survey Industrial
hygiene engineers devised means of
removing the dust from the air and
minimizing hazards from fumes and
poisonous gases. In spite of the fact
that the installation of such devices
was expensive, factory arrangements

Washington.-Th senate voted its

Bangor. Me.-The rate at which Ca

over the northern border into Maine
proves that enforcement of the federal
prohibition law hasn't got into It's
stride as yet. for never in all the his

Army Air Service Officers Cover
100000 Miles in Making
Aerial Survey.
IS LIKE HARBOR TO Liner
Thirty-two Southern Cities invited to
Provide Stopping Places for Planes
Must Be Fit 70 Handle All
Forms of Aircraft.

New York.-Plans for establishment
of a chain of airplane landing fields
have been worked out by officers of
the army air service and the Manu-
facturers' Aircraft association, it was
announced here.
Army flyers have covered more than
100000 miles in an aerial survey of the
country and made exhaustive reports
on the facilities offered to cross-cOun-
try flyers.
Representatives Of 80 southern cit
les already have been invited TO es-
tablish landing fields under army di-
rection. Many others will receive Ike
invitations during the next few
months.
These must be laid out according
to specifications given by the army,
and in return the government gives
steel hangers to the municipalities OPP
GRAFTON of the "air harbor" Is assumed
by the municipality.
Since the armistice the number of
army fields has been reduced from so
to 16, and the naval air stations from
II TO 8.

Whatever the outcome of the war on
'bOoze," the enforcement of the law
will be hardest in Maine, both on ac-
count of the state being cheek by jowl
with Canada and on account of the
seventy years experience that the peo-
pie here have had in deyising ways and
means of fooling the sleuths.

train. 1t is not merely fiat piece of
land on which flyer can bring his
craft to earth. Such a piece OF
ground bears the same relation to a
real landing field as an unimproved
water inlet to harbor like New York
or Liverpool.
"A landing field should have, first
of all, dimensions which fit it to han
die all forms Of aircraft It should
be drained to permit its use even in
the wetteSt weather. 1t should have
shelter and supplies for flyers and their
craft and should be accessible to the
trade center it is meant to serve.
This feature is of supreme impor-
lance because commercial aerial navi-
CATION will develop only in proportion
to its commercial value. The field
should be identified with markings Wis
ible from great heights and with radio
apparatus SO flyers may be aided in
finding their way in spite Of the fog

that cross-country flyers can come to

supplies and adjustments to their ma
chimes without Inconvenience or I'M
necessary delay. In the event Of
mishap in the air, such RS a stalled mo-
tor, the rAar-by landing field permits
the pilot to glide to it without damage
to the machine or to himself.
