Chairman Wadsworth of the military affairs committee has introduced a bill in the senate for the creation of bu- reau of civil aeronautics in the depart nent of commerce. How much some such action is needed is indicated by the fact that while there are but 1900 commercial planes in the country such machines covered three and a quarter million miles in the first six months of this year during which time there were 40 serious accidents resulting in IA deaths and injuries to 52. It is to be realized that safety is by no means as sured in flying but when 1t is found that practically all of the fatalities and most of the injuries might have been preFented through proper regula- tions there seem to be good and suffi- cient reasons furnished for taking steps that will insure it in the future.
 While safety measures are being taken for other purposes it is well that the needed attention should be directed to aviation. It will be much easier to undertake such work at this time than it would be to wait until later and with bureau directing it's attention to the operation of civil aircraft in in terstate and foreign commerce pace can be easily kept with such problems as develop.

MEDICINAL WHIsKEY.

n connection with the consideration 15 the federal tax revision bill as pre- s1t5d by the lower house of congress- lls senate committee regards favorably t.s idea of placing tax of S6.4O a Ion upon al whiskey, except that which ls used for manufacturing pur- poses. Hy such a tax 1t is estimated -a- there can be secured from sixty lo eighty million dollars of the needed --rglue. Such a tax would not of .u1rza include alcohol but would be souGned to distilled spirits and would hot OF course conflict with the volstead lc-
 Under the prohibition law distilled spirits can be withdrawn from bond for medicinal purposes. Last year there were 3t000,00O gallons taken out for such purposes. or at least such alleged purposes. and that was an increase of slE million gallons over the previous year. Under the ruling that distilled spirits can be withdrawn from bond for medicinal purposes it Is possible to get it for beverage purposes and be- -ieV--g that such is being done to a greater or less extent the purpose is to get @ revenue therefrom since such H. qu0r can be taxed.
 I- placing such tax there would be no way of course of discriminating be- tween what might be bought for medici- nal purposes and be used as a bever- age. Therefore all medicinal whis1ey would be taxed meaning that it would have to be paid whatever the use might be. This would uNturaIly increase tho cost even when prescribed and actual r used as a medicine.
 Whether the recommendation will b. approved and made a part of the new federal plan of taxation remains to bt determined. The father of the plan Senator Calder of New York, has alst urE=d a tax on beer containing not owe PTS per cent. alcohol which has aroused much opposition on the part of the dr! forces because of the seeming sanction Of beer containing more than one-hal 3f one per cent. of alcohol

MICH WoRK FoR coNGREss.

When congress reassembles Wednes- day after having had a months recess there will be before it much of the leg islation which it was unable to give it's attention before the late summer vaca- tion was taken. There are matters of pressing importance that need prompt consideration and during the next sev- eral weeks much constructive work is expected of congress.
 During the recess, urged for the pur- pose of expediting matters, the senate finance committee has been busy con- sidering the tax revision measure which came from the house Such recormen- dations as the senate committee has to make in regard to this important piece of legislation should be ready when | congress reopens or soon after. Then vii! come the debate upon the different provisions but it is evident that the sen- ate intends to deal with this bill before | it gives its attention to the tariff bill. This is as 1t should be and as 1t was intended at the opening of the special session.
 | While much business has been done 1 by the special session it is to be real l ized that this matter of tax revision is what the country has been placing much dependence upon and consequently ! looking forward to. Tax revision 1 doesn't mean necessarily tax elimina- ton. It cannot fail to be understood that there must be federal taxation until such a time as the war burdens have been lifted, but there is need for modification of the taxes. We are not in the midst of war and war methods of obtaining revenue can be discarded
 Gratifying is the manner in which the administration is bending every ef- fort in behalf of economy and the cut ting down of expenses. When govern ment expenditures are reduced just that much less money needs to be raised by
 taxes. To that extent there can be . reduction but the revision contemplates
 ending the methods which have served
 their purpose and substituting others
 that will more properly meet the situar
 tion and eliminate the detrimental fea
 lures

THE CONFERENCE PROGRAMME.

t makes little difference what the problem is over which there Is to be Q conference. 1t can be readily appre- c-ared that if any progress is to be made in dealing with it there must be H1m3 sort Of a programme, some idea of what t is considered necessary to end F anything is going to be accomplish -i through an understanding. Certainly H can be realized that that is necessary -n connection with the coming confer 1-ca Of nations concerning the limita- -on 'E armaments for instead of agree Ing to stop spending money for mili- ta-y and naval purposes on the same huge scale that has been followed in -hs past there needs to be eliminated ls far as possible those problems which make big armies and navies necessary.
 I- .s with this in mind that Secretary Hughes has submitted suggestions to tle different nations which could be rzel as @ programme in handling the business of the conference. According t1 the suggestions the questions for dis cussio1 will be the open door in China, lro territorial integrity of Russia, for tfca-ions in the Pacific, the open door for the former German islands, the neu- -r--ization of Tap and possibly some other islands and in addition many questions which arise from these main subjects such as the great number Erch China always presents.
 These are not matters which direct y concern the limitation of armament get it is to be realized that because -rese problems exist and because there g lack of any understanding concern -E them one or more nations feel tha' E i= necessary to spend their last dol la- for defense purposes in case trou- b-e develops therefrom.
 Thus # can be appreciated that there Is good reason for taking up such mat 5z-s and coming 10 an understanding re- zard.ng them as Q part of the arma nlns conference.

The Set Smile


 When you see a man or woman whose smile changes little and hardly ever vanishes from the lips, and which might be described either as set smile or frozen smile, be warned, be careful, but don't jump too quickly at conclusions.
 The reason is that the set smile may indicate more than one thing, and be- fore you know how to treat such a per son you have to find out exactly what it may mean in the individual case.
 Principally, the set smile denotes a tendency toward affectation.
 You'll see it quite often among those who devoted their energy to establishing what they are pleased to consider their social standing, or who have exaggerated ideas of the importance of their positions socially.
 But the set smile is by no means con fined to those who have social aspira- tions It may denote a tendency toward other forms of affectati1n, and there is always about it some element of the de- sire to appear other than one really is and recognizes oneself to be. In extreme cases the set smile often and quite naturally is the consciously adopted cover to characteristics of ma lice and cruelty. Naturally, because the smile is the expression of opposite char acteristics, and so is adopted as a cover The smile is set because it is not natural and spontaneous. and sponteneity of smile cannot be simulated when the mind i is busy with other thoughts.
 But as an example of how easy fl is in some cases to misjudge a person the set smile may be due merely to g preoccupied mind, coupled with an at tempt to appear agreeable and interested Tomorrow-Hair of Application

 found success and placed his stone
 where he wanted it. The rollers were his first vehicle.
 His first rough work to smooth the path for the stone led him to make a permanent path over which he took all
 of his things. He began to barter and exchange with other men. His paths
 were improved and heightened and finally became trails and then roads and high ways His roller became a rude wheel with a carrier of some sort on it. He made his wheel better and better.
