AIR CREDIT

THE 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,OOO,- 100000 which has been suggested for the next aviation budget, and the plan of building 50,0OO 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 the capitol. They had call ed him . lunatic whom 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 Lowe's balloon was used as last re- sort. He ascended about 5000 feet drifted over the enemy batteries. and returned with what proved to be straight dope that Johnny Red had no intention of starting anything.
 This exploit was such a feather in Lowe's bonnet that his pay was ln- creased to $10 a day. Which ruined him. For. though he made subsequent fiights--or drifts, the gross indeeency of paying a common Prof. such a sum when men were dying for le5s." ere ated q near-rot As compromise it was reduced to S6 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 carly aviation corps was very crude. Their gas bags were of rough cotton goods, G:led and doubled spliced at the seams. Imitation 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.

NON-ALCOHOLIC FLAVORING EX.
 TRACTS.

American chemists have found that the substitution of glycerin for alec hol in fayoring extracts for culinary purposes makes the product better and at the same time cheaper. Flavoring extracts ordinarily contain high percentage of alcohol, which is an excellent solvent and preservative. Since prohibition became generally effective tipplers have consumed large quantities of such extracts simply to get the alcohol in them.

RED TAPE

ID 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. ii fet- ters efficiency and makes a hngman's moose for action.
 Once in the fleet there was cap tain who desired an especially conve- nlent form of waste basket. He had 1t made on requisition by the navy yard. UnforMnately just as 1t 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 o K. but the basket It was missing. z i'd 1t 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 ing that the article be forwarded Af- ter some weeks the letter was return ed with several sheets of endorse ments attached. It turned out that the navigatv1 i'd taken the basket with him whe,l ne went to command Pa- cidc coast cruiser.
 The navigator respectfully stated" that his baggage had gone adrift. the basket with 1t. 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.
 ments of explanation were sent out to the navigator. He smeared on few moro and mailed the packet back to his old ship On arrival the batch was not fully understood. It was endorsed a few times more and boosted on to headouarters, who shot 1t back to the captain.
 Briefly that packet made the circuit four and a half times. Each time 1t connected few dozen more endorse ments, remarks, comments, inquiries and respectful statements.
 Finally the captain called in his yeo- man. Jones'" he said, If I find that blankety-blank waste basket batch of rot on my desk again Pm 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. It was something like ten dollars. He went ashore and spent ten beans.
 Next day the captain found under his desk fine new waste basket. It was just like the one he'd lost. In the bottom of 1t was pile of paper torn to bits. Red tape had be, n shipped in- to a million pieces.
