That interview from John w. over

from Tennessee, on the distribution
of federal patronage in Tennessee. has
drawn fire here, just as it was predict.
ed in The Herald yesterday. Chair.
man John W. Jackson resents Mr..
Overalls calm assurance that he will
be able to reward the faithful accord.

1T is somewhat remarkable that Mr
Overall should assume tho distribu
tion of federal patronage in TenDe5
see among those who were not friend
ly to the present republican Cover
nor, who sought his defeat for the
nomination and who were responsible
for not even allowing him to name his
own campaign manager.
1T looks to me like a studied effort
to ignore Senator Sanders and his
friends. They were responsible fol-
the nomination and election of Gov,
Taylor. The crowd that Overall is
backing and training with did all they
could TO nominate Littleton and even
after the Overwhelming victory o.
Taylor in the primary they sought to
humiliate him by refusing to permit
HIN to name the party campaign man,
ager, something without precedent in
Tennessee.
1T should be recalled that Mr.. Nc
Lane, the Overall nominee for dis
trict attorney was Littleton's cam.
paign manager and even lost his own
county. Speaking of that race it has
been announced that Attorney Gener
al Daughterty will personally examine
the applicants, and would therefore
suggest that he have moot trial with
Mr.. Haggard as the lawyer on one side

Aeroplanes attracted him, and the
art of firing a machine gun through
the space travelled by an aeroplane
propeller opened up possibilities to
him that he has been following ever
since. The navy sent him to France,
where he Immediately attracted the
attention Of experts by his work on
Hispane-Suiza. Salmson. Renaul:
and Gnome engines. 1t was here
that he began In earnest the study
Of "synchronizers" for machine guns.
An unofficial" flight with a French

wound in the shoulder. During his
convalescence there he learned to
work while laid up. and 1t has serv-

in aeroplanes, can get a simple
grasp Of the subject by the follow

development. It is one Of the most
important phases of military flying,
and one of which the public knows
little.
In the early years Of the war .
Frenchman named ROLAND Garros
won instant fame by a series of air
exploits in which the German planes
were always sent crashing down in
flames. 1t was a rare feat in the
beginning Of the war to fight to the
death in tho clouds. Up to Garros'
arrival upon the scene, airmen
fought duels in the sky with weap-
ons ridiculously crude and ineffective.
A revolver or an impromptu bomb
made of wire nails and dynamite, the
latter thrown like q grenade, were
the usual weapons of lone fighter.
A two-seater. Of course. enabled the
observer to fire a light automatic
rifle from the shoulder.
But Garros, afterward a victim of
the air himself, hit upon the plan
OF sheathing his propeller blades in
thin plates Of hard steel. beginning
at a point midway the blade and
shielding the wood up to the hub.
Then he mounted a machine gun on
his engine cowl and fired his gun by
instinct, as he pointed his plane at
the enemy. The bullets that struck

mechanism, known as a machine
gun synchronizer. While testing
out the precision Of one Of his in
stallations. the great fan Of the
plane struck him across the back,
and since that time he has been
slowly convalescing at Washington.
And all the weary months that he
endured enforced rest. he has been
busy designing new tricks and ap-
pliances for gun-fire from aero
planes.
1t was the irony of fate that
just at a time when he was most
needed - during the controversy
now raging over the superiority Of
air fighting to battleship effective
ness-Livingston is forced to watch
the papers for his observations Of
the operations.
EEGAN AS APPRENTICE.
Livingston began his career as
an apprentice in the locomotive ma
chine shops of the Denver and
Rio Grande railroad. Little did
the boy dream that some day he
would be teaching gas engine prin-
ciples in the great French school
at Clerget, France. But 1918 found
him mounting the first Liberty
motor in a French seaplane and
wearing the diamond and platinum
"brevet" as a mark Of distinction,
bestowed by the section technique"
Of the French republic, this latter
honor being one Of four awarded
during the world war.
In 1903 Livingston was drawn

In the automotive pioneer days, and
after fourteen years in this voca-
ton the war swept him into the
navy as an instructor in mag.
