HI Sp!tc Ol US D6lD2 the HrSt en- tertainment given in the new Pio- neer hall, and the short time taken for preparation, the concert and dance held last Saturday night was an unqualified success in every sense of the word. The program went through as smoothly as if guided by some unseen agency and there was not one untowafd incl dent to mar the enjoyment of the evening.
 The hall was decorated with flags and banners bearing the names of Alaskan camps. The dance floor, the best in the north" was a treat to lovers of the terpsiehorean art, and reflects great credit on D. w. McLeman and his crew of carpen- terS who put all of theiR knowledge and ability into making it perfect. The music, furnished by Messrs. Cameron, Jack and Scarlett of Stewart, was an inspiration to the dancers. and words fail to express the appreciation of the Pioneers for the kindness and neighborly spirit shown by the Stewart musicie.-.o as well as the other citizens of our sister town, who attended almost to the last resident. The party was h revelation as to what can be ac- HOmpIished in this line when both towns get together The piano, an indispensable adjunct to the success of the entertainment, was loaned for the occasion by Misses Billie LaIurr and Del Nichols of the Bun- galow
 The Medicinal Aid" department, presided over by R.J. McDonell and Felix Seppi, was a life-saving insti- tuition which assisted materially in swelling the sum total of tha re- ceirtS. which amounted |, more than S9U0, The crap taaiS, with Al Blackburn as mentor, gave a touch of the wild and woody scenes witnessed in all northern camps not so many years ago, and both pio- neer men and women gambled away reams of money upon it-but the money was phoney.

Give the New Police Chief Your
Cooperation
By BILL PRICE.

The community and the Police Department will give
the Superintendent of Police, Major GESSFORD, sym
pathetic cooperation and support that the work of the
Office may achieve the best possible results There will be
in the department the failure of several
popular officers TO receive the appointment On the prnci
pie that seniority of service and rank should be rewarded
where practical and that the head Of the department should
be man who has up through the ranks Major Cess
fords selection the logical The theory that this
wisest against the selection of outside will
be put to the test Major Gessords qualities leader
policeman will be under the searchlght He will need
and should have the backing of every in the depart

his position. That he is good policeman evident from
his long and honorable record He discplnaran and

Other things called for however, and it is for the

Breadth, kindly impulses TACT judgment just

There is no doubt that the high command in the army
should control ALL fighting forces from the flying machine
to the heavy tank But there is much to be said In favor
of establishing SEPARATE air service, directed by men
of especial fitness and training subject of to the
orders of the chief commander.

A WASHINGTON YOUNGSTER-
Eddie Speaks Again.
You didn't need to say you are
a youngster. Your letter proves
that. Neither was 1t necessary to
ask for comments. l think those
will come spontaneously and from
the fullness Of the hearts Of the
girls who have endured all kinds
of hardships here in Washington
in their effort to help Uncle Sam
out when re needed them. or
course we all know some girls
came to Washington because they
were tired of their home town;
others for adventure, but we also
know that thousands came for the
same reason their brothers went
to camp-in an effort to do their
bit. From some Of the conditions
have seen In Washin gton rooming
houses, l often think trench life
was somewhat luxurious. At least
one expected nothing In the
trenches and therefore one wasn't
disappointed. But one did expect
something in the Capital OF the
country and very often one didn't
get II. Some time, little Washing
ton Youngster, when you have
tried roughing II hundreds Of miles
from home and the people who
call you by your first name when
they pass you on the street, maybe
you will wonder how you could
ever have been so blind and so
thoughtless and so unsympathetic.
You are mistaken In the assump-
ton that Washington girls do not
have love problems. Many OF them

General Haan, who know as much
about aeroplanes as ! do about
big guns, and placed in the hands
Of the men who know and want the
United States Of America to be
mistress of the air.
When General Haan quotes Field
Marshal Douglas Haig, he quotes
the man, who, defeated by the
enemy at every turn, cried out to
America:
'You must help us. Our back
10 to the wall!"
Why not quote Marshal Foch--
a/victorious leader who is quoted
as saying that in the next war, the
aeroplanes will bring decisive VIC
tory before the army Is mobilized.
But not our aeroplanes, unless q
radical change is made.
Because the army general staff
has carefully destroyed the air
service which was built up during
the war at terrific cost of lives
and money, until our present day
air forces, uneGuipped according to
the statement of General William
Mitchell, is dwindiing away to its
pre-war status.
One of the most important fac
tors in the service is, we all agree,
esprit de corps"
When the war broke out in
America, a group Of our men, most
ly school boys and college men,,
enlisted with great joy in the
Air Service. The esprit was as
founding due to the enthusiasm Of
the men.
Why? Because each man knew
that every single chap who wore
the wings or was working to earn
them had volunteered his serv-
ices. A wonderful feeling to
know that your comrades were all
soldiers Of their own volition.
And there is not one other arm
of the service in which the spirit
can be compared to that Air Serv-
ice spirit
Then came the regular army
man" to take control Of US. Out
of the infantry, cavalry, artillery,
out of the quartermaster and ord
nance corps came second lieuten-
ants, who became majors over
night, to command us. All they
could say was:
Eve must have disciplined
And strict discipline to q man
who spends hours in the air is as
sensible as smoking a pipe in a
gun-powder factory.
Strictness brings restraint.
Restraint brings fear. Fear
brings hesitancy. And the man
who hesitates for an instant while
in the air is lost.
One thing at which I still mar
vel is how the esprit remained
high in our service in spite Of the
ignorant management by the
regular army men.
At Dayton, Ohio, under Major
Norman j. Boots, and at Issou-
dun, France, under Majors Carl
Spatz and Benedict, they did their
damn'dest to crush the spirit, but
the volunteer pilots realized that
the regulars" took themselves
too seriously because they were too
small for their jobs, cursed them,
laughed, and worked harder.
A successful Air Service means
we must have separate Air Serv-
ice, with a distinct and separate
Cabinet officer as the chief.
The largest part of the control
ling personnel must be composed
Of flying officers-either pilots or
observers.
And those who know the flying
game must not be hampered by
the rules laid down by n set OF
perfectly good infantry, artillery
or cavalry officers who do not un-
derstand the flying game.
You cannot expect that a pac-
fist will male a competent Sec
rotary Of War, so how can you
expect a quartermaster corps Off
Ger 10 command an air service?

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DH<AN u11co
am a gentleman from Indiana.
but not the gentleman from Indiana
about whom the worldwide book
OF fame was written, and as an or
dinary citizen In my few years Of
experience in passing Judgment
upon the fair sex, ] am proud to
say the short time I have had the
pleasure Of soJourning in Washing
ton ! have found the young ladies
OF this city very eloquent In man
ner. highly educated, and. indeed.
up to the highest standard expected
of womanhood.
In reference to the opinion ex-
pressed by @. H. H. In regard to the
Washington girls, can proudly
say 1 cannot agree with this judr-
ment, as no doubt he has not had
the pleasure of meeting the real
Washington type Of girl.

Seems good to have some one
speak a kind word sometimes,
doesn't II? This young man Is the
sort who probably would be able
to keep cool in Texas in July and
fnd Labrador very comfortable in
January. A great deal in this life
depends upon having ones point
Of view correctly focused. When
the picture is the least little bit
out Of focus 1t does look so queer
and so jumbly. That's what's the
matter with lots Of US. We can't
focus correctly, and then we think
everyone's out Of step but us.
