The craftsmen, farmer and common

AIRPLANES ARE
 TO MOLD FUTURE

The airp1ane has proved it's worth as a. fighting machine and as a means of swift transportation. The flying machine-land plane, flying boat, and airship-will have a vastly greater influence over modern life shortly. In the opinion of E.. de B. Newman, secretary of the Aeromarine Plane and Motor Company of Key port, N J., the flyng machine will soon show it's power as a builder of cities.
 within 6 few decades a town was nothing unless it was on a rail road, no matter how great it's other advantages. The towns which first got railroads grew most rapidly. In the West, then only sparsely settled, trans continental railroads literally raised a crop of towns out of the ground along their right of way as they were pushed toward the Pa cific. They sowed civilization as Q farmer sows grain. A town, founded perhaps by stragglers in the Cali fornia gold rush of '49, became a city or a deserted village accordingly as it was on the line or far from it.
 ''The airplane and flying boat and dirigible will do the same thing. Where they find good landing places whether natural or constructed by farseefng municipalities, gasoline and repair stations, and a welcome they will land and thus gradually estab- fish the stopping places on the great
 air routes soon fS criss- cross the con-
 tinent and 5weave up and down its | coasts. A village unblessed by rail road, harbor or navigable river, may 1 become an air port of great import ance. A city which has only railroads and no good landing places may 1 dwindle as great air freighters. pas! | it by. Not in a day or a year, bu 1 eventually. How soon no man i: competent to say"

WHY THE BIRDS
 COME BACK IN SPRING

The birds, however, have no charts or compasses to guide them. We do not know as yet absolutely what it is that enables the bird to find it's way back and forth to the same spot year after year. As nearly as we have been able to ascertain, the birds af- ter they mate and build their first nest and bring up their first family, develop a fondness for that particu- lar spot which is much the same as the instinct in man which we call the "homing instinct" Man becomes attached to one particular spot which he calls home and wherever he is thereafter, he is very likely to think of the old locality when he thinks of home, and there are very few of us but have yearnings to go back to the old 'Fhone locality every now and then. The environment in which a bird or human being is brought up generally becomes to a greater or less extent a permanent part of home in this sense.

ARE
 SECURING JOBS

A nationwide survey of the soldier employment situation just completed by Lieutenant Colonel Mathew c. Smith, head of the Service and In formation Branch, War Department, shows a gratifying falling-on in the number of ex-service men seeking work. There has also been a cor responding increase in the percentage of men put in jobs. In four weeks 22,589 former soldiers and sailors have registered with the various bureaus throughout the country, and 19,170 have been placed.
 In many cities the employment bureaus have been discontinued, for the reason that the need for them no longer exists. In other instances American Legion posts are taking over the work with great success, and the matter of unemployment for ex- service men is now secondary to that 1 of assisting them in securing voca- tional training, or in settling their ac- counts with the Government.
 In the Eastern States and New Eng 1 land, however, there is still some thing of an ex-soldier unemployment
 problem Four weeks figures for
 this section of the United States show 10,030 men registered at 30 bureaus

FINANCE POLICY IS UPHELD BY
 SENATOR KING

Washin gton, D. C., April 29.---That the first six months of the war would have ba.nkrUpted the United States in credit and money had it not been for the financial policy inaugTEated un- der the Federal Reserve act and sup- elementary legislation, is asserted by Senator K'nrg, of Utah.
 Replying to incidental criticism of the currency law by Senator McCum- ber during a. Senate debate, Senator King showed that one of the first things attempted by the Democratic party whsn it came into power was the enactment of currency Legislation which had been lacking under Repub- hcan leadership. The Federal Re seMve act, he said, had stood the test of both peace and war, and the coun- try's finances are now established as they newer had been in history.
 ~Has the Senator advocated its re- Uezd or modification? asked Senator K4nsg. ''I do not recall that he or any other Republican has seriously at tzc1red the Federal Reserve act or has ofrered amendments of a vital or' i'm portant character to that great and constructive measure l have Won- dexea what would have been the re sniff tS the Federal Reserve act had not been upon the statute books and if we had had on the statute books ox14v tfe financial legislation that we found there when the Democratic rssztv came into power under the first administration of Woodrow Wilson.
 ~Why, if it had not been for the ffnanctai policies of the Democratic party which have been crystahzed i1lxo law under the splendid leader shin of woodrow Wilson, our country vv,o1Eld have been bankrupt, so far as credit and money were concerned, within the first six months of the war;
 Senator King reviewed the history of hnazNzial FegiSasSion, the inaId- etaaacy of the temporary measure lzurxn as the Aidrich-Vreeland bill and the failure of the Senate under the leadership of Senator Aldrfch to eyrakt cc1uIrehensive currency leg1s- 1s+io1 tlKat would meet every condi- ton.
 Continuing, he said: "Connissions were created from time to time by the RaEE1b4ian party ito consider hnan- ciaj leeSsIation and they had utterly failed to fIEI1ctionI The Re pq1adHcan party had been in power fol many years and it's statesmanshiI had been so bankrupt that it could not and did not devise a fiscal policy that could ride the storms of a little financial furry in 1907 and 1908 when the Republican party was II power The Republican party wa in power when the devastating hnan ciaI storm of 1873 to 1877 swept tn nation.

It did not rise to the demands of modern civili- zation and of business and a pro- gressive industrial nation such as this. I challenge the Senator from North Dakota to offer a plank for in sertion in the Republican platform, which is to be so varied in form and variegated in color and design, which is now being framed by MT.
