time, buying show horses, both

and find their equipment lacking in
appointment we will be pleased to

Glass" are prevalent in all at very
attractive prices.

horses"

show the buying public that for real
horses we have the best.

such volume would have more his

| one Of the first to recognize the pos
sibiities of air service. AS reward
for his faith and experience he quite
fittingly became the head of the Avia-
ton Corps in the American army.
In his book, Gen. Mitchell is modest
and reticent about himself, but he is
able to utilize his own observation to
good effect. He is not content to rest
upon his present laurels. He wishes
to make the fruits of his experience
of practical benefit. He is so much
more than a theorist that heed should
be given to what he has to say. We
have had habit of muddling through,
but the potentialities of war in the air
are so terrible that we should be
prepared for future emergencies. He
quotes the bomb explosion in Wall
street as a sample of possible horrors.
Capitalization of control is the first
step toward development. On this
point the author says I'VE have had
no real air organization in this coun-
try. We were plunged into the Euro
pean war without one and we have
emerged from the war without one.
Neither is there single man or a
single bureau responsible for aviation
and for its complete development in
this country. The Army has a part,
the Post Office has a part; all the
bureaus of the Government are either
using or want to use certain parts of
aviation"
The chief evil from this incoherent
handling of air boats is that expert
ments may be needlessly duplicated
or that one department may not
benefit by the results Of another's
works. The wrong type of airship
may be used. Specialization is very
highly developed in aviation. just as it
is in the automobile Gen. Mitchell
says: The air force has become as
specialized in its own work in the air
as the armies were on land, the navies
on the water. Pursuit, attack and bonn
bardment aviation We're just as differ
ent as cavalry. infantry and artillery"
This is as true in times of peace as
when we are at war. coordination is
needed to make the best use of the
recent conquest of the air.
Gen. Mitchell believes that an air
force should be a part of our national
defence because Of its superior mo-
bility. He says: An air force could
be used all over the whole expanse Of
our country, including Panama and
Alaska, in fewer hours than il took
for Germany to move her ground
troops from one of the battle fields to
the other"
This book is entitled to a patient
hearing because Of it's conservative
statements and its logic. The author
has illustrated It with a map showing
resent and prospective air routes.
