ENGLAND DECLARED
TO BE IN DANGER
FROM AIR>ATTACK

London.-Britain is declared again
to be insdire peril. She is describ-
ed as in a dangerous state OF un-
preparedness against air attack.
Experts contend that London could
be laid in ruins from the air with
in "a hours. Many facts and fig
ures are given by various newspa-
pers to prove it.
Britons, and Londoners especial
ly, are told they should be so badly
scared they wouldn't sleep soundly
: in their beds again until something
wasdone to set matters right. But the
stolid Britisher refused to be scar
ed for anybody or anything. He
rejoices that it has temporarily
stopped raining and that the last
two days of the Ascot racing were
gloriously fine.
But there may be serious trouble
brewing for the government over
the state Of the country's air de-
lenses. Major General Seely start
ed the trouble-as far as trouble is
started hereby asking question
in parliament as to how the coun-
try was fixed for airplanes in case
Of war.
The reply of Captain Guest the
air minister, was not exactly calcu-
lated to make nervous people feel
comfortable. He said that while
the country in 1920 had 1856 civil
airplanes fit for war, it now had
only SO and these were of Is differ.

H. M stansifer of the Macon (Ga.) Rotary
Club coined this neat sentence
"A mule cannot pull Uhile be is kicking, and
he cannot kick Whie he is pulling. Neither can

J. Ogden Armour reprinted that in the
Armour Magazine for September.
It's good sentence, isn't it? You $ say y,'S to
pull And if he pulls he CAN'T kick. Therefore a
mule should not kick"
Mr.. Armour didn't print that nicely turned
sentence merely to put pleasing moral bromide
before his organization. He said to friend who is
a newspaper man, II wish you would write an
editorial about that mule that can't pull when ne
is kicking, and can't kick when he is pulling"
It's mighty good idea FOR A MULE
But young men that want to get ahead should
be able to KICK AND PULL at the same time.

he must be constantly kicking at himself because

pull and never kick.

should BOTH KICK AND PULL ALL THE
