CONTROLLING AVIATION.

While remarkable progress has been made in the development of the flying machine it has not as yet been brought to the point where there is any assur- ance of safety. 1t has not reached the stage where the general public has con- fidence in getting back to earth safely should a trip be taken in a flying ma- chine and it has not been surrounded with those safeguards which repeated demonstrations have shown to be neces- sary.
 There are those instances where ma chimes have plunged Into crowds leaving a long casually list. At the Eecent big fight in Jersey City there were efforts to have flying over the arena prevented for fear that a machine drop into or stem- pede the crowd. Only a few days ago big machine descended into a crowded area causing frightful results. These are only a few of the many cases where it has been shown that there is not yet the proper regulation concerning the nav lgation of the air and that there is lack

 Aviators are becoming more numerous every year. The number Is bound to in- crease. Better and safer machines are going to be built but sufficient conditions have been revealed to disclose the neces- sity of giving a prof CT degree of protec. tion to those who remain on the earth and endeavor to pursue the even tenor Of their way. The control of the fly ing machinss that Will operate for the benefit of all Is bound to come. There are reasons why 1t should be undertaken now and gradually developed even a. the flying machine is being. Protection
 of humanity certainly warrants it.

GRAY AND BLUE EYES.

In the column which is headed by Letters to the Editor -or some similar title, thele appear from time to time con- troversies as to the constancy or loyalty of persons with blue or brown eyes in affairs of the heart.
 The contents in the literary arena are hitting a bit closer to the truth than many people would believe. Blue eyes are brown eyes do tell their stories about the little traits or tendencies or character. But it is more the story of temperament than of constancy in love.
 The gray and the blue eyes are the heritages of the northern branches of the Caucasian race. They are the de- yeIopment of lands in which man has had to combat with the forces of Nature for his life. In short. they are the heri- tage of races in which action and az gressiveness have been the fitness to survive. The gray ands blue eye in- dicate these things.
 As we read them to day, the blue eye and the gray eye are indicative of action of energy, of impatience You'll find that other things being equal. you can anger the blue-eyed person quite easily Bout to balance this, you'll be able tc make your peace with him, or her, more readily.
 As a rule, too. they are less likely tc become ltra-conserIative in their opin, ions, their manners and their habits ot thou ght

THE TAX ON OIL.

Presentation of tarin bill before the house does not necessarily mean that the measure will go through in that form. It ha1 been through one committee but it must stand the test of attacks from the senate before it is gotten into shape that will inspre its passage or that will meet the conditions desired.
 Thus it is not surprising that there are several features of the bill as pre- scented to the house that have been strongly attacked thus early, or that there are indications that the senate will so disfgure the bill when it receives it as to make it unrecognizable, Any piece of legislation of that character must be drawn to serve the good of the country. If and when it doesn't there must be corrections.
 Strange as it may seem there is in- cluded in the bill a tariff on oil, mean ing that all oil brought into the country must be taxed 35 cents a barrel for crude oil and 2s cents for fuel oil. Were it so that this country possessed an un- limited supply of oil, instead of the opposste case being the fact, such g tax might be regarded with some justifcaS tion, but when we are looking to new fields to insure our supply of oil and to encourage the development by American capital there is no wonder that there is strong objection to the proposed duty.
 The proposed tax in fact places the administratieu u in an en7barras assing posi- tion as President Harding has been obliged to point out. It is in direct op- position to the efforts of the admins tration and certainly leaves no ground for a protest ayainst the heavy tax which Mexico is placing upon oil for export. Certainly if we are planning to tax oil that is coming into the country We cannot very well say anything against others getting revenue out of that very same oil.
 Likewise every increase in the duty on oil means just that additional fuel cost to the increasing number of users of oil for fuel. In Massachusetts alone 1t is estimated the fuel bill of that state would be jumped $4,S0o,OOO a year. Ii 1 Is thus evident why there is such oppo- sition to this feature of the tariff and well may New Engla Id voice Nits opposi- 1 tion to the idea. It is an unwarranted and an uneconomic proposition.

THE prsARMA,rENr SENTIMENT

Prompt and favorable have been the replies from each and every one of the Eoverrments addressed by. this country concerning participation in a conference concerning disarmament. In all instances thers appears to be an eagerness to en- ter into the negotiations which promise To put an end 10 the expensive race of sonst-1ction warships and in that respect there .s no country that can be much moro interested in view of the expendi- .1rsz than the United States.
 Italy displays enthusiasm. France ac- .epts with pleasure and without reserve, even though 1t Is understood that France ,sn be expected to have views of it's own concerning disarmament as applied to the army until # believes conditions are se- cure, Great Britain welcomes the call Iaqsn has forwarded its acceptance and China is overjoyed at the opportunity hat has been given to it to participate in he discussion.
 It .s to be noted that Japan has par Acuiarly referred to attendance at dis a-mament conference. That might not attract attention but for the fact that there U7s also included in the note of President Harding the suggestion that The far eastern problems be also taken 1p.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Rents and Children,


 Mir Editor: In reply to George Bick- lords letter in your paper recently, I would like to ask the gentleman if he has ever owned and rented a house to a family where there were children. If so he would not feel. so bitter towards land lords for not wishing to rent their hous- es to those who have children He should remember that there are always two sides to question. I rented a new house with nice grounds to a couple with three children-two boys and a girl - the youngest eight years and the oldest about fourteen. In few months they had broken all the bulbs in the light ming rod, filled up the well with bricks and damaged the house in many other ways The landlords in most cases do not want to do what is necessary to their property, but when they do put 1t in good repair the tenants should feel 1t their duty to see that it is kept SO Some people argue that as they pay their rent they have a right to do as they please, especially their children. If parents would prevent th4ir children from disfguring the walls, cul Q them in the habit of slamming doors and from tres passing on their neigh6ors-perhaps there would be more apartments where children could be welcomed. If land lords have decided not to lent only to persons who are childless and to bache- lors and spinistsrs, methinks he will have some houses to remain idle

The teams to participate in the game
are Monticello and Oelwein. Month

it. The object Of playing the game
here Is to determine contest which
has caused more or less Of rivalry be-
tween these two fast teams. An UNI
pire from distance will umpire the
game and generous purse goes to
the winner The Manchester Com
mercial Club voted to extend the vis-
iting teams the courtesy of the free
use of the grounds for the game. OF
course the usual charge of fifty cents
at the gate will be charged for all per-
sons who witness the game. The Com
mercial Club will donate the use of
the grounds. 1t is reported that up

from Oelwein, and it is safe to say
that a large number will be here
