F0RESAW CONQUEST OF AIR
we'll Had Some Ideas That
Appear Crude Today.

John wilkins, who married Robina,
sister Of Oliver Cromwell, in 1856, had
original ideas on flying. He set forth
his theories in book in which he dis
cussed four possible varieties of avia-
ton: BY spirits or angels by the help
of fowls, by wings fastened immedi-
ately to the body, and by flying
chariot.
wilkins wrote that the fourth way
seemed to him much more useful
than the rest; and that Is by flying
chariot which may be so contrived
as to carry man within 1t; and
though the strength of a spring might
perhaps be serviceable for the motion
Of this engine, yet 1t were better to
have 1t assisted by the labor of some
intelligent mover And therefore If
it were made big enough to carry sun
dry persons together, then each of
them in their several turn might sue
cessfully labor In the causing of this
notion"
wilkins was one of the founders
of the Royal society. He believed Ii
should be "easy to frame an instrument
wherein anyone may sit and give such
motion unto 1t as shall convey him
aloft through the air."

ALL IN ON MAY 17-22 DRIVE
General Public Persists in Manifestinq
Friendly Interest in Boosting
the Membership.

Men at national headquarters of the
American Legion are gratified at the
wide interest in the forthcoming drive
of the legion for new members, by
persons in all walks of life. The cam
paign will be held May 1922, inclu-
sive.
Although the drive is entirely an
organization affair and will ba handled
by individual posts and members, the
general public has refused to be kept
out and persists In manifesting friend
ly interest.
Every day we see evidences of this
friendship of the great American pub
lie for the American Legion" said
National Adjutant Lemuel Bolles. 1--WE
counted on this friendship when we
organized for this campaign and every
post has appointed a citizens com
mittee to cooperate with the post drive
committee. The way citizens have re-
sponded Is wonderful. Men of all
walks of life, clergymen, teachers, la
Dor leaders, bankers, have united to
help the legion attain It's goal of at
least million new paid-up members.
1.-THE women have been particularly
friendly. Housewives have sensed that
the legion is the great national force
for security of the home and the coun-
try's solid institutions and they are
rallying to help us. Many a man eligi-
Bile to belong to the legion has had no
peace of mind until he sought out
post and put up his dues and came in.
Besides, the women know about the
wOman's auxiliary of the legion and
that no woman can belong unless her
men kin-folks belong to the legion"
Mr.. Bolles was authority for the
statement that this legion drive will
set new mark in enthusiasm for cam
paigns In the United States.

FEEL NEED OF eRUMBLING
complaints Absolutely q Source Of
Enjoyment to Great Mass Of
Human Beings.

One is as likely to grumble against
the people one Injuries as against the
people who injure one. One has to
grumble at something or other. A
man who can find nothing to COMPLAIN
about simply does not know how to
enjoy himself, the New Statesman
(LOndOn) observes.
Now wouldn't your life be exceedingly
fiat
with nothing whatever to grunble at?
That Is why people like to read let
terS in the paper. and also helps to
explain the huge circulation of one of
the notorious weekly papers. The edi-
tor was clever enough to see that most
people dearly love their grievances,
and that if you give them a plntform
for their grievances you will sell more
copies than If you give them only
platform for your own ideals.
We do not mean TO say that the
mass of human beings are devoid of
ideals, but we fear that on ordinary
occasions they are a great deal more
interested in their complaints. 1t is

health. They are much less likely to
boast how well they are feeling than
how Ill they are feeling. A liver com
plant means far more to a man than
the best digestion. If you allow him
he will describe his symptoms-the
taste in his mouth, the sudden loss of
vision, and what happens If he eats
stewed plums. And he tells you all
this not in humility but with the van
ity of Il peacock.
The vanity of an invalid far sur
passes any vanity known in healthy
men and women. This is, perhaps, one
of the compensations of i'll health. 1t
gives one something to complain about.

Another Crafty Fox.

A reader of the Companion tells us
the following story of a clever Ameri-
can fox to match a recently published
anecdote of a clever English fox. On
November day, he says, a neighbor
of his saw a flock of ducks on the
opposite side of a small creek that
runs into Shinnecock bay.
While trying to get nearer to the
ducks, meanwhile keeping himself well
hidden and watching them very eau
tiously through the grass, he was
amazed to see a fox that had waded
out about forty feet from shore 1t
was attracting the ducks by gently
waving its tail. In a few minutes 1t
would unquestionably have caught a
duck had the man not shot it.-Youth's
Companion.

PREACH TO GET MEMBERS
Ministers to Aid In Bringing the Amer
lean Legion Family Number
to 2,5oo,ooo

Some one at the national headquar-
tiers with a fair for statistics has fig
ured out that four thousand sermons
on the American Legion will be deliv.
cred In churches all over the land on
Sunday, May 16.
Part of the work of posts OF the
legion in the membership campaign
to be waged May II to % inclusive. has
been to enlist the support of clergy
men of all creeds. They have been
requested to at least make mention of
the legion in their sermons of the Sun
day preceding the drive. Many rabbis
have signitied their intention of doing
this In sermons delivered Saturday.
May Is.
1t has not been hard to win the sup
port of these clergymen, because the
vast majority already are enthusiastic
legion supporters.
One minister of a prominent and
fashionable New York city church fair
ly leaped at the suggestion. He de.
clared he would not only preach an en-
tire sermon urging eligible parishion-
erS to join, but would call on every
man and woman to lend active aid in
the campaign in some way. He In
sisted he was going to roll up his shirt
sleeves and get into the campaign him
self, even going so far as volunteering
to speak from soap-box in Union
square.
Legion leaders expect to get one
million new members, at least, This
would bring total membership well
above the two and half million mark
and would assure the legion a majority
of the former service men and women
of the land
The drive Is entirely a post and
member affair--"a campaign of the
rank and file" Posts are assigned
quotas to reach and will be graded on
percentage of efficiency. Departments
also will be so graded. National head
quarters will give first and second
prizes, consisting of stands of cOlors
to leading departments.

Rush-Pith Lens Cleaner.

Almost any ordinary medium that
can be used is likely to smear and
even scratch lens in the cleaning. A
very perfect lens cleaner can be made
by using the medulla or pith of such
plants as sunflower, rush or elder, says
the Scientific American. Strips of the
dry pith are cut and these are fast
ened with an adhesive TO a piece OF
cork. The pith may be arranged In
rows with small spaces in between.
The lens is rubbed gently with the
novel cleaner and all marks disappear.

recitation room, as it was last year.
The room used for recitation pur-
poses has been enlarged SO that it
will accommodate classes without
crowding. The Fifth and Sixth
grades will be seated on the second
floor.
All children who live on College
hill in grades from One to Five b
inclusive will attend the Edison
school. The school board has ruled
that no child shall be transferred
from one building to the other I'M
less necessary on account of the
crowded condition of the respective
buildings, to be determined by the
superintendent. Thy have also ruled
that "All children who are six years
of age at the opening of any school
term or who will be six years of age
during the first four weeks of the
term will be admitted to the schools
of District No SO, Whitman county,
Washington. All children who are
six years of age or who have never
attended school who do not enter be-
fore the end of the fourth week of
the term shall be excluded from
school until the opening of the fol-
lowing term.
The county board of education
made several changes in text books
this summer. In order to make as
little confusion as possible between
our district and those lying near by,
the local school board adopted the
same list of books as that adopted
for the county. Under the law, an
exchange price is allowed to pupils
who have an old book to exchange
for a new one of like kind. The
terms of the exchange will be ex-
planned by the local dealer before the
opening of school.
All Ninth grade pupils are asked
to assemble at the high school at
10000 a. m. on Saturday, September
IL, to be enrolled. BY coming at
this time it will be possible to give
each pupil advise as to the course to
be chosen.
Mr.. Gaiser will be in the high
school building from 1000 a. m. to
1900 every day next week for the
purpose of enrolling all irregularly
classified pupils of the high school.

Every member of the American Le-
gion, which will hold a nationwide
membership drive May 1922, has been
instructed in a Primer OF Legion facts
and Catechism of Legion questions
and answers. 1t is expected that with
the use of this data, plus natural en-
thusiasm, every member will get at
least one new member. This would
bring legion membership above the
two and half million mark.

BUREAU URGES
ROAD REPAIRS
Claims Old Highway Lines
Should Get Precedence
Over New.

That sle present interest in the
construf. of new highways
should not divert attention from
properly maintaining highways al
ready improved is a point which the
Bureau of Pubic Roads United
Stages Department of Agriculture.
has had occasion to emphasize many
times in recent months, particularly
in view of the enormous increase in
motor vehicle traffic which is taking
place. The bureau recently COM
pleted compilation Of statistics
from all the States of the Union
showing that there were a total of
I56J,446 registered motor cars Cin-
Guiding motorcycles and trucks in
the United States in 1919. This is
an increase OF % per cent. or 1.4lS,-
S29 motor cars over 1918 Such fig
ures indicate that the Country's
highways are being used far more
than in the past it is pointed out
and in consequence added attention
must be given to the repair prob
lem. The increase in the number Of
cars for 1919 over 1918 represents
about 10 per cent more cars than
the total number registered in the
entire United States for 1913
Additional use of roads and
streets has, of course, been accom-
panied by additional revenue paid
to State and local governments in
the form of license fees. which in
nearly. all States are devoted to
highway needs. The registration
and license fees for automobiles,
trucks and motorcycles in use in
1919 totaled $64,697.255.5S an in
crease of 20 per cent over 1915 The
total revenues for New York and
Pennsylvania the past year were
about double the revenues received
for all motor vehicle registrations
and licenses in the entire United
States in 1912.

Crank Shaft End Play.

End play in the crank shaft is
apt to be noticed first when the car
is throttled down to about hve
miles an hour, when there occurs
what is commonly called bucking,
accompanied by knocking. If the
play is excessive the knocking will
be heard as the speed increases
This condition may be caused by
the end of the main bearing be-
coming flattened or worn so much
that the shaft can move back and
forth, and as it does so il pounds
against the bearing ends still more
In many cars with four-bearing
crank shaft the second bearing
from the rear is designed to take
the thrust, and so replace ment of
that one bearing will remedy the
trouble. In three bearing shafts
the center or rear bearing is usu-
ally the one requiring replacement
In the four bearing shafts it is
best simply to change the one bear
ing instead of attempting to re-
move the play by using two or
three bearings with thicker fianges.
