People generally know what an I'M
portant part was played IN the World
War by the flying machines-the Wings
of the War"-and how American ma
chimes were conspicuous in this branch OF
the military and naval operations. The
end of the conflict came too soon after our
entrance TO allow the full development OF
the plans that had been prepared and
the operations that were In contempla-
tion to make the air fighting forces OF our
country. which If consummated would
have placed the United States far IN the
lead. But in this book 1T is shown what
our country was doing, and the enormous
strides it made in the development OF
fighting air machines and their produc-

CITY: Harper & Brothers.
"a new psychology of breathing how
to improve the general health through
singing, what to do for lost or injured
voice, the requirements and cost OF az
education in singing today-these are
few of the points explained IN TINS Science
OF Voice Culture.
For wears the author has devoted her
self exclusively 70 reconstructing voices
and many prominent singers now before
the public have proited by her corrective
method.
This book Is invaluable for both teach
ers and students because 1t gives dennlte
directions for the correction OF vocal de-
fects. The author has aimed 70 point out
and tear down the many wrong vocal
principles commonly employed IN modern
teaching as discovered by her through
long experience, and to show why they
are incorrect, physiologically and aeous-
tically. She explains the constructive
principle and the means OF correcting
wrong muscular activities.

More than ten thousand persons

strat1on. The socialist leaders, it was
said, had pledged their word that no
untoward incidents would occur. The

would aid in avoiding trouble.

swing SIX hundred nationalists in
mliltary formation issued from their
quarters near the Communal Theater,
intending to carry out parade
through the streets and to sing war
songs and shout the war cry of Ga
oriele d'Annunzio. At first the ma
tlonaists were confronted by male
nurses from the lunatic asylum. These
nurses. all socialists, marched in the
opposite direction to the nationalists,
waving red flags.
Ihen volley of rifle fire swept over

from the battlements of a famous
neighboring medieval castle. The
castle. which was the seat of the So

occupied from early morning by red
guards. who had come there from va
rious parts of the province to be
ready for any contingency.
When the firing began there was
great excitement. a stampede of the
people Immediately followed. During
the shooting, which continued only a
few minutes, the screams of the hor-
ror-stricken people could be heard
above the volleys from the rifles.
When order finally was restored the
troops rushed into the castle and
took into custody fifteen persons, but
the others who had been inside had
escaped.
Among those arrested were the So
cialist provincial councillor, Filippo
Luchesi. who is said to have been
among those who pledged their word
to the authorities that no red guards

PREPARE FoR BIG VOTE.

A close study of the state exchanges
has made it seem clear that Duval
was the only county in the state where
there seemed to be any serious dan
ger of the vote of the colored women
being greater than that of the white
women, and this danger was apparent
only in Jacksonville. The women of
that city have been most actively
working for the registration of white
women and latest reports from Jack
sonville find the women outnumber-
ing the men in registering, and white
women outnumbering negro women
This news is being received with
much qualification all over the state.
and the other counties will congratu-
ate Duval on the effective campaign.
The Jacksonville Metropolis has car
ried some very striking editorials in
reference to the coming election. and
the bearing the women vote will have
upon it. In the current issue the Me-
tropolis calls attention to the necessity
of devising some means for handling
the lines of electors at the larger poll
ing places on election day.
This is a question which is caus-
ing considerable discussion all over
the state, and one which will require

The Metropolis says:
The supervisor of registration who
is charged with the responsibility of
arranging for the details of the cleo

county commissioners, has had great
difficulty in securing places which

retiring from the election place. I'm
less lines are provided it will be i'm
possible to handle the crowds. There
will be crowding at the entrance and
those already in the polling places
will not be able TO get out and those
in. This being the condition it is
necessary that the voters themselves
show due regard for the command of
officers to keep in line and thus assist
in every way not only to preserve
order but to facilitate voting.
The presence of four lines at each
election place would be best if it is
possible TO so arrange them. One line
should be for white women, another
for white men, third for negro
women and a fourth for negro men
This is a distinction without a dis
elimination and comes perfectly with

lieve. OF course this will be i'm
possible in some instances unless tents
are raised in the center of a street
and the polling is conducted under
canvas instead of a store building,

no other exit.

Why Not Own the Railroads?

This paper has often suggested that
the best attitude for a working man
TO take towards capitalists is not to
hate the capitalists--but be one.
In this land of limitless opportunity
moderate success, at least, is in the
reach of every man who will pay the
price-who will observe the simple
principles of industry and thrift
In line with this idea we note
suggestion from the Type Metal Maya
zine that employee ownership is bet
ter than public ownership. 1t sup
ports its contention with the following
argument:
There are two million railroad en-
ployees in the United States, with in
comes averaging $500 per year
"If each of these men saved $50
per year, the National City Bank of
New York estimates they could buy
control of the New York Central lines
in one year.
."They could buy control of the
Baltimore &; Ohio and the Erie in even
less time, and could control all lines
between Chicago and New York in
five years, at present prices of stocks.
These figures indicate that the real
capitalists Of the country are the rank
and file of the workers
What is true of the railroad bust
ness is also true Of the steel, garment.
and mining Industries.
eff each worker in these trades ac-
cumulated a little capital and threw
this into a common pot, they could in
a few months dominate both owner
ship and management
why is this not done?
st would be easier and simpler
than making a long bitter fight for
public ownership
do the wage earners distrust their
own ability to manage their industries,
or are they unwilling to assume the
risk of ownership?
rs there any reason to suppose
that the public, which is mostly them
selves, will make any better job of
it ?"-Lakeland Telegram

jobs back at the new wage scale. The
most powerful factor in causing this
gentle upheaval in things is the fact
that people are buying less-and some
sensibly. We admire silk hose for
the reason that we always see them
on others. We never affect them our
selves because it would surely give
the world wrong idea of our social
and monetary status. Just the same,
we like them, on the right sort of
ankles.-Florida Grower.
