COLLAPSE

Coma. Frear Makes Bitter Attack
on Alleged Wastage Of.
Sl,O51,0 100000.

The complete collapse OF Americas
air program during the war was
shown up in striking manner yester-
day by members of Congress. In
speeches on the floor of the House.
Congressman James A. Frear, Re-
publican chairman OF the House sub
committee investigating. the enormous
waste Of money by the Aircraft Board,
showed that $l,O5l, 900. 900 was spent,
aid that the only American aircraft
90 reach the battle line were 2lS
dangerous and defective De Hayiland
observation planes.
The administration of Gutzson
Borglum OF the air program was de-
scribed by MIR. Frear as an admin
istration of hopeless inef1iciency. ir-
responsibility and enormous money
waste"
.Finnainx Conins.
The total amount of Sl,692. 600, 900
appropriated by Congress to make
America supreme In the air" Mr.
Frear declared, would have been sum-
cient to purchase $4,000 airplanes,
which had been promised by George
Creel, director OF the Committee on
Public Information.
Instead, American aviators were
compelled to fly in the De Haviland
flaming Collins" Mr.. Frear said. He
recalled declarations made by Eddie
Rickenbacker. the premier American
ace, that the latter had seen six
American pilots go down in one flight
in the flaming coffins, and that in
one day on the western front sixteen
American planes that went up were
all lost, and their pilots and observers
killed or captured by the Germans.
Secretary of War Baker came in
for severe criticism at the hands OF
CONGRESSMAN Frear for placing men
in charge of aircraft production who
had no previous experience.
Civilians Appointed.
Secretary Baker appointed Deeds,
Potter, and Ryan in that order to take
charge of aircraft production" said
Mr.. Frear Deeds gave $50, 900, 900 in
contracts to his business associates in
Dayton. Ohio, before he was let out
the last of 1917. -,..- ..
w. c. Potter followed for nearly
four months, and John d. Ryan con-
tinued until the end of the war. Both
Mr.. Potter and Mr.. Ryan were copper
magnates with many large private
business interests. Mr.. Potter's Utah
Copper Company increased it's profits
during the war about 500 per cent
Mr.. Ryan's company made even a
larger increase in profits. Colonel
Deeds was recommended for court
martial by Judge Hughes, but the
order was refused by Secretary
Baker"
Congressman Magee, Republican. of
New York, also attacked the ineffi-
cheney of the aircraft program. He
declared that the records show we
spend over a billion dollars to get one
type of light bombing machine on
the front.
Congressman William Lea, Demo-
crat declared that the aircraft pro-
gram was not a failure.

The fight on film

Modern dentistry finds that most
tooth troubles are caused by film.
The film at first is viscous. You
can feel it now. But it clings to
teeth, enters crevices and stays.
It is the film-coat that discolors,
not the teeth. Film is the basis Of
tartar. It holds food substance:
which ferments and forms acid. It

contests, which will have practically
final bearing on the third district

undefeated quint left. Which one it
shall be is hard to say.
Bemidji has an excellent oppor-

played and won several hard fought
games. Little Falls has three veteran
players Of last year while Bemidji
has only two and they are supported
by other fast men who have won
places on the team this year.
Sprandel, Lewis and Lepinsky repre-
sent the vets from last years five

Nebish Camp

Pres. Deputy of State Normal, his
instructors, Supt. BagDy and Mrs.

public school teachers were guests of
B. w. Lakin at their prearranged
visit at the Crookston Lumber camp,
five miles from Nebish Thursday aft
ernoon, and what they saw Of the
modern day of logging amazed those
who have seen old time camps, and
those who had never before had the
opportunity to see one before were
equalyl amazed.
The trip was made on a special
train on the Red Lake, and hauled by
a logging engine, into the giant
forest.
The visitors saw new era in the
model camp. They saw the powerful
steam skidders pick up huge logs in
punches from long distance. hurtle
them through the air on a steel cable
with ease, drop them by waiting box
cars, pick them up and load them for
shipment, not touched by a human
hand
They saw the bunk houses, with
their steel beds, comfortable mattress
SEES, clean blankets and bedding in
well heated and ventilated quarters,
saw the modern shower baths, in
spected everything else, took dinner
in a group in the spacious hall where
thes timber workers dine, where the
tables "groaned" under the load of
splendid and wholesome food, appe-
tizing to a remarkable degree.
The return was commenced at Z
o'clock and it was an enthusiastic
bunch that made the timely home
ward trip.
