machine in which he says:
1.-THE J-L-6 represents new era in
aviation. 1t is designed to secure the
maximum safety. service and efficien-

line tanks which have a capacity suf-
ficient to keep the plane in the air for
more than ten hours. However, con-
sumption Of gasoline for a plane
of this size is very low. The cabin
is designed for the comfort Of the
passengers. There are four uphol-
stored seats arranged similarly to the
seats in a limousine. There is a
door on each side of the cabin and
isinglass windows which can be rails
ed or lowered by the passengers. Be-
hind the cabin there Is a small COM
partment for baggage. During the
flight the passengers changed seats
at will, ate lunch and wrote letters
AS an inspection plane for Army Of
ficials, the J-L-6 is ideal. The metal
construction has a big advantage, in
that it is both fireproof and weather
proof. and the possibility of develop
ing this type into q very much larger
plane with greatly increased carrying
capacity makes its introduction very
important to both commercial and
military aviation"

FRUITS OF AMBITION.

r There are those among you who are ambitious not with the mere sordid de- sire of gain, nor of power and place. who would refuse political chances but who have nevertheless within them a sense of greatness, such a feeling as had sometimes stirred the bosoms of great men before fame mantled them. and glory crowned their brows They kno wthat- they could be great; they feel above their circumstances and sur roundings, and oh! how bitterly they mourn the thralldom of lower things and the ascendency of desiresl Yet these, if they will, may be satisfied Through our Saviour they may reach such heights as earthly sage or hero hath never trodden! They may measure their fulfilled intelligence with the powers of angels Oh, what glorious hope Christ left us when He said: T go to prepare a. place for youi' All our pains and troubles shall find sweet compensation there. Every moment of sorrow shall be paid for by an age of joy, and every day of trouble by thousand years of peace

FACTS REGARDING THE
 CARE OF THE BABY
By U. S. Public Health Service.

"A number of patent medicines have been widely advertised to make child birth safe. easy, and painless. They are all frauds Instead of wasting money on them expectant mothers should seek a doctors s1vice.
 At no time in her life does woman require better care and attention than during childbirth. A competent doctor, or if such is not available, a properly supervised and licensed midwife should attend The patients room should be large, clean, and light, and the necessary aternity outfit should be conveniently at hand ,.... ..
 The following list represents useful outfit:
 One pound absorbent cotton. > yards sterile gauge, 1 envelope sterile up1bili- cal tapes, 1 dozen sterile sanitary nap kins, 1 tube vaseline, 1 ounces powdered boracic acid. 1 dozen birds eye diapers, l flannel band, , inches wide, yard long, 1 cake castillo soap, l dozen small safety pins, 2 dozen large safety pins, new douche bag. quarts, 1 eye drop per l douche pan, 1 1-2 yards rubber nursing sheeting. E Tn mother should rest in bed for at least a week after baby is born and sev- eral weeks more should not do really heavy work Various forms of serious female troubles are due to a failure to follow this advice.
 The mothers food should be plentiful.

rAMMANY,s UNIT FIGHT.

Although it doesn't appear that there will be any difficulty in holding a large majority of the New York delegation in line, there is decided reluctance on the part of the head of that delegation to ac- cept the ruling to the effect that the unit rule shall not prevail except where instructions have been given to delega- tions by 8 state convention.
 How successful the contest that is promised over the action of the rules committee will depend upon the backing that the New York leaders get in their effort to get the convention to pass up- on this point. Under its primary law New York has no state convention to give instructions to the state delegation but in support of it's stand the New York delegztions head points to the fact that unofficial state conventions are permit ted and that 1t is under such that the in structions for unit action are claimed
 This emphasizes the unwillingness to break away from the practice that has long prevailed within the democratic par ty, and determined effort to make the whole delegation abide by majority sen timent whether there is that disposition or not
 Up to eight years ago there would have been no question what the outcome of such a contest would be. Unit rule was so thoroughly imbedded in democra- tic principles that nothing else could get a chance. But since the Baltimore con- vention when there was staged a fight by certain delegates of one state against abiding by the orders to vote as unit. which proved successful, there has been an inclination to take a different view of such a matter. while the manner of se- lecting delegates under the primary laws in different states has removed state delegates from the control that was for merly vested in the state conventions.
 Tammany influence is not negligible but it may not be sufficient to swing its contention on the unit rule any more than it is able to exert control in other directions.

NExIco,s APPEALS.

Evidence continues to multiply to the effect that those directing the affairs of Mexico under the present government are conscious Of the i'll effects of the atti- tude that has been maintained toward this country in the past that they real ire the necessity of cultisating and es- tablishing the friendship of this nation if they are going to be permitted to make Mexico the nation that it desires to be and that with the proper spirit displayed on the part of Mexico it can be expected that the relations between the countries will be what they should be. -a
 It is realized that there have been times during the Carranza regime when there seemed to be the same recognition that Mexico sought at the time was forthcoming there was an immediate re- turn to the previous attitude of hostility. Perhaps it may be too much to expect that Mexico is going to be turned all of a sudden from a policy which has been drilled into certain of its people. It will take time to overcome the animosity that prevails among the uneducated but it is to be realized that the example as to what should be the attitude of Mexico toward the United States should be set by and can be expected from those who are capable of understanding the situa. ton, those who know what it means to Mexico and those who are conscious of the handicaps that have existed in the past t
 In the efforts that are being made at the present time to establish better re- lations and to get the recognition of the present government as we'll as to open the way for the securing of needed f. nancial assistance there should be care taken to determine the sincerity of the appeals. Our desire to be friend of Mexico is as great as ever. The quicker the nations can get upon the best terms the better. We are not disposed to dis courage rightly disposed new govern ment but in view of Mexico's past if should realize that the proof of it's sin cerity cannot be made too clear.
