Instantly the ship shot ahead. One

For q split second the plane climbed

Though railroad executives and
officials are opposed to government
ownership of the roads, some OF
them admit that the only way out
of the present chaos in the trans
portation industry is increased gov
ernmental supervision. President
Harding is expected to send mes
sage to Congress which will prac-
tically suggest increased federal
control. AS the railroads have been
getting practically millions of dol
lars from the government it is
logical to assume that the govern
ment should have some say in man
aging the roads, especially as Meth
err the railroads nor the employees
seem able to agree on practical
method.-Ex.

Heroic Red Cross Doctors.

Few incidents will stir Americans
with more justified satisfaction than
the conduct of two American doctors
at Annel, an outpost of Compiegne, on
the night of March 25. The patients
of their hospital had been evacuated
the preceding night. The French sur
geons and all the nurses were gone.
The Germans were within half-dozen
kilometers and advancing. Heavy ar
tillery, set, in the hospital grounds,
made terrific din. But the American
ambulance sections kept on coming to
Annel Chateau. They did not know
where else to go. Two Red Cross
doctors, Major Tarnowsy and Major
Morehead. stayed ON in the deserted
chateau. Two canteen women volunteer
ed from Compeigne. The two doctors
kept on operating. the canteen women
handing them instruments and dress
ings, the Red Cross truck drivers hold
ing candles and bringing in and carry
ing out the wounded. A day and a
night and second day the two doc
tors operated. The crisis passed. The
regular attendants returned, the rou-
tine was resumed.

To be sure, armor nowadays is not so
cumbersome that when the wearer is
upset he has to lie fiat on his back
until somebody kindly stands him up
again; but 1t has turned out that, for
practical purposes, modern design adds
nothing to the protective detail of the

CALLS FOR FIRsT-cLAss MEN
Incident That Shows That Missionary
Work Is Only for Those Who Are
Especially Efficient.

Bangs was sent to Bang-bang up in
the Malay peninsula. This is not his
name, nor is it the place, but that does
not matter. The story is true. His
instructions were to start school for
the Chinese and to open up mission
work. The government had promised
to provide the land for the school
building and Bangs expected to find
waiting for him very extensive sub
scription list signed by wealthy Chi
nese to meet the expenses Of building.
He was instructed to present himself
to the police inspector, who was sup
posed to be heartily backing the prof.
ect. Shortly after Bangs arrival the
official was suddenly transferred for
excellent reasons. Then Bangs discov-
cred that the names of all the brothel
Keepers in the region were on his sub
scription list. They had no objections
to subscribing when the inspector of
police argued the cause, but they felt
very differently about paying out their
cash when young missionary came to
collect the money. Meanwhile Bangs
found that the contract for the school
building had been let to a dishonest
builder. He sent out 200 notices to
leading Chinese inviting them to meet
and confer on the proper action to be
taken. No one came. He called e
