AIR CREDIT

TIME world has conceded the genius
Il of Wright and Curtiss, but only
as individuals. In reality our national
aeronautic prowess runs back sixty
years and more.
When we contemplate the $1,0OO,-
100000 which has been suggested for
the next aviation budget, and the plan
of building $4,000 machines in one year
it is little difficult to understand the
governments former attitude.
The "balloon idea" was brought to
Washington in 1861 by Professor
Lowe. He was a young inventor who
started us making artificial ice. He
died only four years ago after long
life which was calculated to spite his
enemies in the capitol. They had call
ed him lunatic when he proposed to
fly over the Confederate lines and
bring back information.
There was a rumOr that the hostile
army was about to attack. Young
loves balloon was used as a last re-
sort. He ascended about 5000 feet,
drifted over the enemy batteries, and

straight dope that Johnny Red had no
intention of starting anything.
This exploit was such a feather in
loves bonnet that his pay was in
creased to $40 a day. Which ruined
him. For, though he made subsequent
f1ights-or drifts, the 'gross indecency
of paying a common Prof. such a sum
when men were dying for less," Gre
ated a near-riot. AS a compromise it
was reduced to Sc. But his retirement
soon followed. Sic semper the ''cit."
The Union army then made it's own
"aerostats," as they were called. Reg
ular reconnaissance work was carried
out, but as the balloon was always
captive the zone Of inquiry was very
narrow. Foreigners came over to in
vestigate the wild rumors which had
become rife in Europe.
The technique of this early aviation
corps was very crude. Their gas bags
were of rough cotton goods, oiled, and
doubled-spliced at the seams. Initiation
was achieved by means of hot air from
a pine-knot fire. A heavy rope anchor
ed the balloon. Several times this got
foul of the operators on the ground
and had to be cut. The observer land
ed when and where he could. Usually
he drowned or else ate his supper in
a Confederate prison camp.

RED TAPE

II ED TAPE was once the means Of
IN tying up official documents Now
adays red tape is the means Of tying
up most anything from gumshoes to
governments. Red tape may draw a
line against the errors Of slipshod
workers. More often, however, it fet-
ters efficiency and makes hangman's
moose for action.
Once in the fleet there was a cap
tain who desired an especially conve-
nient form Of waste basket. He had it
made on requisition by the navy yard.
Unfortunately just as it arrived aboard
he was ordered to another ship. In the
confusion of departure the waste bas-
ket remained behind.
At the end of the quarter the cap
tain's yeoman (clerk) made an invoice
as, per "regs." Everything checked up
0. K. but the basket. It was missing,
and it could not be expended" be-
cause it was an item of some value
and rather new.
A letter of inquiry was sent to the
old ship stating the case and request
ter some weeks the letter was return
ed with several sheets of endorse
ments attached. It turned out that the
navigator had taken the basket with
him when he went to command Pa
cific coast cruiser.
The navigator respectfully stated"
that his baggage had gone adrift, the
basket with it. Whereupon a survey
or investigation was ordered by the
original owner. The yeoman prepared
all papers in due form explaining the
loss of the article and forwarded them
to Washington.
These papers including six endorse
ments of explanation were sent out to
the navigator. He smeared on few
more and mailed the packet back to
his old ship. On arrival the batch was
not fully understood. It was endorsed
few times more and boosted on to
headquarters, who shot it back to the
captain.
Briefly that packet made the circuit
four and a half times. Each time it
connected few dozen more endorse
ments, remarks, comments, inquiries
and respectful statements.
Finally the captain called in his yeo-
man. "Jones," he said, "if find that
blankety-blank waste basket batch of
rot on my desk again I'm going to dis
rate you to coal-passer. If I don't find
it I'll rate you up to chief" Jones aye
aye-sired and beat it. He looked up
the monthly difference in pay between
his rate and that of chief. 1t was
something like ten dollars. He went
ashore and spent ten beans.
Next day the captain found under
his desk a fine new waste basket. It
was just like the one he'd lost. In the
bottom Of it was a pile of paper torn
to bits. Red tape had been shipped in
to a million pieces.
But suppose everybody started snip
ping.

Cardui I would have died. I bought
six bottles, after a neighbor told me
what it did for her.
"I began to eat and sleep, began to
