tant Arm of the Service
By Admiral Mofett

Washington, May 12.-Plans for
complete equipment of the fighting
ships with aircraft during the coming
fiscal year. it was learned today,
have been laid before the Senate ma
vel committee by Admiral Moffett.
chief of the navy's bureau of aeron
auticS.
The project contemplated plan
of 213 airplanes of various essential
types on battleships, cruisers, scouts
and other vessels and is designed
to attack the fleet with its own
aerial defense against enemy aircraft
attacks.
Under the plan sc small swift
fighting planes will be included in
the aircraft to become a permanent
part of the fleet aircraft defense. The
machines to be used for this purpose
are believed by navy officials to be
the best yet developed for fighting in
air, having been completely develop
ed under navy control since the close
of the war.
They are designed to meet in air
and repel raids against the ships OF
the fleet by enemy bombers.
In addition the active ships will
carry 46 observation and spotting
planes, 27 small spoilers, 36 torpedo
or bombing planes, Is scouts and 4
kite bolloons for observation pur-
poses.
Each battleship of the Is compris-
ing the fleet under the naval limita-
tion treaty will carry four planes, two
V-F, or single fighters, one big spot
ter and one torpedo or bombing plane.
The torpedo plan will permit attack
on enemy surface craft with 1900 lb.
torpedoes or with an equal weight in
bombs.
Catapult launching devices recent,
developed and tried out successfully
are to be installed on all ships en-
abling them to send away their aerial
defense squadrons even in a heavy
sea way.
The ten new scout cruisers will car
ry two catapults each and fighting and

of observation of enemy movements

When you were a child in
school your parents were keep
ing a watchful eye over your
progress from day to day.
But parents had more time
in those days than they have
now. Or at least they took the
time necessary to see that their
children were given proper
support and encouragement.
True, We are now living in a
swifter age, and must move
rapidly or drop behind in the
mad scramble for conquest.
With some this may serve as
an excuse for leaving every
thing to the teacher who is paid
to cultivate the brains of our
offspring.
In reality. though, il should
prompt us to exercise even
greater personal supervision
over the education and training
of our children, in order that
they may not be outdistanced
in faster pace yet to be set.

gets only what is left by those
who sweep on in the race of
