knows enough to pass judgment on
airplane propositions like these.
Vibration means strain and wear
and tear.
Projections mean resistance to the
air. increased vibration and reduced
speed.
Any part not lifting surface means
decrease in efficiency.
The lighter the airplane the greater
the speed, with the same engine
power.
The greater the speed the greater
the airplane's all-around efficiency.
So the average man will give ready
assent to the proposition that q mon

That is why people look 50 pale

being supplied with weak fuel.
The blood has not enough red
corpuscles. You would not eat
poor food with no nourishment in
it; no more should you let the
fuel that supplies sustenance to
your entire body be inferior. Have
good blood. Improve the quality
and keep it at its best.
Ii you look pale and feel weak.
if you have lost your enthusiasm
and energy, if your blood is clog
ged with poisons, your system is
being fed with a poor grade of
blood. That is no way to 90

Charges Reserve Board With
= "studied Misunderstanding

Sharp comment charging the
Federal Reserve Board with "stu.
died misunderstanding" of the
existing cotton condition, was
made Friday afternoon by W. B
Thompson, chairman of the Louis
lana Division, American Cotton
Association, in connection with
remarks made in Birmingham by
W,P. &. Harding, president Of
the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve Board.
Mr.. Harding was quoted as de.
clarug the board would not assist
in the holding Of cotton for higher
prices. Mr.. Thompson's com.
nent was as follows:
"Ths press reports of statements
Of Governor Harding of the Fed
eral Reserve Board at Birming-
ham today illustrate the studied
Misunderstanding of the issue
which has marked the attitude
and utterances of the Federal Re.
serve Board throughout its recent
dsaation campaign.
Governor Harding says that
the Federal Reserve system was
not established to assist plans for
holding commodities off the mar
i ket, nor is it at the disposal of
speculative enterprises organized
to advance private interests.
'The attitude of the Federal
Reserve Board always presup-
poses that the movement of the
cotton producers to hold cotton
IN the present crisis was an at.

Brewer Makes Statement,

Duluth, Mimi. June 16.-Rev.
George Brewer, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, made the fol-
lowing comment:
II am appalled, at the situation Du-
luth finds herself in today-humili-
among the law-abiding, order
loving cities of our land. No defense
can be made for the work of this
mob. Every brute in human. form
who criminally outrages a woman de-
serves the extreme penalty of the law,
but never administered by a lawless
mob. Every member of a mob that
does violence to n human life is a
murderer and I hope will be speedily
brought to justice.
mo more deadly blow to virtue and
civilization could have been struck
than by those misguided citizens who
took vengeance in their own hands.
I LOOK upon this tragedy as a call to
all sober-minded men and women
who have the best things Of our COM

efforts to rescue our people from the
