is little more to show than a CHASTITY
record of killing of hundreds Of
Air Service men due to the faulty
aircraft supplied by the members
of the Manufacturers Aircraft Asso-
citation at exorbitant prices
These dangerous Martin bombers
that have killed so many people and
have been wrecked so fast cost the
taxpayers over 100000 each, or
over four times their value.
These bombers were widely adver-
tised as being capable Of flying
without danger with only. one Of the
two motors going. The CHASTITY rec
ords of crashes and deaths have
proven that these bombers cannot
fly safely with only one motor go
ing. so stated by the pernicious prop
uganda circulated by the Air Trust
to rnislead the public while the Air
Service was arranging for more Air
Service contracts for these danger
GUS planes, at exorbitant prices. The
last contract is for thirty-five Of
these dangerous planes, which
should be cancelled forthwith, to
save further waste Of funds and fur

FRUITLESS EFFORTS.
The West Virginia tragedy is TRIP
ically pathetic. 1t reveals through
the lips of dying victim the brave
but fruitless efforts of the pilot to
control tpye of plane Anticipated in
design and dangerous in operation,
which would long ago have been re-
placed by more efficient and depend
able types had it not been for the
Manufacturers Aircraft Associa-
tons conspiracy to control the Air
Service for the private benefit Of its
members and agents. who support
luxurious yachts and most expensive
automobiles and entertain executive
Air Service officers at sumptuous
parties with these ill-gotten gains.
One of the basic mechanical de-
fects Of Martin bombers is that they
are inefficient and have the two
motors located out in the wing and
not connected, and when one motor
stops they will not fly and control
dependently on one motor.
Much has been said about this
planes ability to fly and control on
one motor, but the truth. as the rec
ords show, is that only under per-
feet conditions can this plane be
flown at all on one motor and that
in windy weather it is most danger
Gus to attempt flight with one mo-
tor, the plane tending strongly to
swing into a tailspin. as 1t did in
the West Virginia tragedy.
INQUIRY PROMISED.
The amazing part Of this matter
is that a number of more efficient
and safe bombing aeroplanes, cost
ing much less than the Martin, have
been submitted to the Air Service,
but were rejected because the bid
ders refused to pay toll to the Manu-
facturers' Aircraft Association.
Two years ago an independent
manufacturer who had appealed to
the high authorities, was permitted
to construct an improved twin mo-

Written for Universal Service.
INCUR more Air Service men lie
dead and one is dying. and an
other twin -motored army
bomber costing over 100000 has been
destroyed. ~
We are told that while Martin
bomber No. s was flying over Mich
olas county, West Virginia, recent
ly. one of the two motors stopped
and the plane plunged down, crashed
to the ground near Summersville,
killing four of the five airmen on
board. The mechanical cause of the
accident is that one motor stopped
and the paine could not fly on one
motor, being one of the inefficient
planes Of that type forced on the Air
Service by the INSCRIPTIONS air
trust.
There is no valid excuse for these
deaths, nor for the excessive cost of
the bombers. The tragedy could not
have happened II the Air Service had
ordered the best aeroplanes offered
by bidders.
nSAFE PLANES REJECTED.
Twin motored aeroplanss have
been offered to the Air Service that
will fly safely with only one motor
going, even in a high wind, and the
Air Service could have. had these
superior planes at less than half the
price charged for the dangerous
ones.
The better, safer and cheaper
aeroplanes were rejected because
the bidders were not members Of or
contributors to the Manufacturers
Aircraft Association, the monopo-
listic organization that controlled
the Air Service expenditures since
1917.
This combination has made the
Air Service the dumping ground
for defective aircraft, for which they
have charged such exhorbitant
prices that 1t is clear that the graft
and waste amounted to over $780,
900, 900 out of the approximate sum
Of $500, 100000 paid for the bare
construction of aeroplanes. without
motors, accessories or equipment.

COULD HAVE SAVED LIVES.
There was hardly question asked
either when the War Department
announced that 296 American Air
Service officers had been killed in
accidents during the war, besides
the 236 who were reported as hav-
ing been killed in action, although it
was felt that many of these deaths
could have been prevented II Ameri-
can manufacturers had supplied bet
ter aeroplanes for training and good
ones for fighting.
The American public was ex-
tremely generous in it's attitude to-
ward war aircraft evils. 1t paid
close to one thousand million dol
lars for the Army and Navy Aero
nautic programmes and since the
signing of the armistice has given
close to 5000, 000, 900 more for Army

which physical gall or bile came

pugnacity dates back. to the old

quaint old doctor-priests used to
foreten the future by studying the
colors and shapes of the entrails
of freshly killed animals and birds
and in the process gave to most
of the great organs Of the body
the names which they bear to the
present day.
ANCIENT PERSPICACITY.
One Of their profoundest observa-
tons was that doves and pigeons
had no gall-bladders. while hawks
and eagles had large and well-de-
veloped ones. Hence, with the sim
pie logic Of childhood, the gall-blad-
der and gall was the cause of the
wide difference in temper and fierce
ness between these two families Of
birds.
Shakespeare, who had almost every
kind Of knowledge stored away in
some corner of that wonderful mind
of his, has embodied this curious old
superstition in one of the lines of
Hamlet when the prince is-most
justly-reproaching himself for not
taking swift and overdue vengeance
for the murder of his father:
But am pigeonlivered.
And lack of gall, to make oppres-

That right to happiness which
chivalry gave to all free women has
fallen into disuse. Mayhap women
