THE ARMY AIR SERVICE

A committee reports to Secretary
Weeks that an alarming condition
exists in the army air service, due
to shortage of flying personnel and
equipment.
Our people hate war, but if they
are going to have any army at all,
they must have a modern army
which shall be good as far as it
goes. An efficient small army is
necessary in these troublous times.
to show the world that the American
people have not become effeminate.
The air service will do big share
of the work of the next war, and an
army without good one will not
be worth much. The air force need
not be large, but money enough must
be spent to keep it up to date and
efficient.

THE FEAR OF HARD WORK

There is a good deal OF complaint
nowadays that people are extremely
afraid of doing any Lard work.
Many women find this specially no.
ticeable. Not many housewives now
adays can afford to employ servants,
but there are many who hire things
done, and they find much disinclina-
ton to hard work.
They say that many women will
not scrub a floor, or mop a porch,
or 20 up on a step ladder, or get
down on their hands and knees. The
housewife may feel perfectly able to
do these things, and things that by
performing such active tasks, she
may be preserving her physical Vi
gor. But that does not prove she
can induce other people to do them,
Such condition is the reaction
from the period when there was q
tendency to overwork the women
who performed household services.
Many of them worked 70 hours a
week or more, they had uncomfor-
table Accommodations, and their hours
we're irregular so they were cut off
from social life. Naturally they re-
belled from these domestic tasks,
which got a bad name, so that now
there is scarcity of that kind of
workers. Thus conditions have gone
from one extreme to the other.
It ought not to hurt people to do
vigorous labor, if it is under healthy
conditions, and the hours of work
are not too prolonged. People some
times complain because they get
famed up while doing job of work,
but they might get equally lame if
they played lawn tennis.
People who hire help ought to be
conscientious about overworking
them. At the same time those who
work must realize that men and
women are meant to work industri-
ously and actively, and that a penal
ty has to be paid by those who are
fearful Of good honest physical eff
fort.

CIVIC CONSCIOUSNESS

In the early days Of American de-
velopment, a large degree OF COM
munity spirit was inevitable. Take
the case of the pioneers who went
out from the East to settle the prai-
RE states. Theyfotmd that to pro-
vide schools of their children, moral
standards, justice between man and
man, means for transportation, etc,
they must constantly cooperate.
So while they improved their own
farms and developed the wilderness,
they we're all the time working with
each other TO build up the essentials
Of community life.
But after a community becomes
settled for a period of years, after
it has acquired some Of the basic es-
sentials of life, there comes a tend
ency for many people to lose this
civic feeling. They have the insti-
buttons that are vitality necessary to
their comfort and we'll being, end the
tendency is for people to give their
lives to just two ends, earning their
own living and making money, and
going in for sports and amusements
hat will give them a good time.
Manifestly when a lot Of people
concentrate their attention on these
objects, the strong desire for com
munity improvement tends to fade
out Of their minds.
That is what is the matter with
lot of cities and towns today. The
people or the bulk of them have no
strong civic consciousness, and are
not deeply interested in projects for
community development.
We need in Leesburg just as
in most other places, a rebirth OF
home town pride, an intense loyalty
10 our own community, and a desire
% see it go ahead. One of the ways
20 promote this feeling, is to per
,uade people to own their own
homes. The man who owns the
house he lives in is more likley to
get interested in the progress of the
place where that home is located.

THE
RIGHT THING AT
THE RIGHT TIME
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
COURTSHIPS

TT WAS not long ago suggested in
L England that the clergy ought tC
open a school for courtShip. The sug
gestiOn was made quite seriously, az
it was pointed out that many young
people meet clandestinely because
they find no sympathy at home. Ths
man who made the suggestion seemed
to think that this condition could be
remedied by the methods he suggested
Really it seems as If the troubls
usually lay with somebody else beside
the young man who is doing the court
ing and the young woman who is be
ing courted. 1t usually lies with aD
unsympathetic family. Nobody, pes.
hapS, can blame the family. 1t Is ut.
terly unpleasant for the tired father
to come home from a hard day al
work to find that he must leave the
family living room that evening free
to his daughter and young man wh6
wishes to be his future son-in-law. Il
is far easier for father and mother,
big brother and little sisters, to dis.
port themselves comfortably about
the family living room-and then fox
the young girl and her swain to NEE!

WHAT SUCCESS DEPENDS UPON

Many people think that if they
lived in some bigger place, the OPP
portunities would be bigger. But
as they go on, they find that success
does not depend upon location, it
depends upon the individual. The
bigger the place, the more competi-
ton one has to meet, and one gets
lost in the crowd.
AS a general rule, people do best
in the environment that they grow
up in. The city boy becomes used
to city ways, and is usually better
off to stay there and build up bust
ness in the environment he knows.
Similarly the country boy becomes
used to country ways, and can adapt
himself to them better than to a new
location. A multitude of country
boys are doing well in country life
today, because instead of dreaming
Of making fortunes in unknown
scenes, they just looked around them
to pick up the good chances within
reach.

PASSING THE BUCK"

IN POLITICS
An official from another city who
was serving on the board that pro-
vided relief for the poor of his NUM-
cipality, once said that the most diff
iicult problem he had to handle, was
20 make other cities and towns do
their fair share of the work of sup
porting those needing relief. AS he
looked at it, this phase of his work
might be called a kind of legitimate
passing of the buck.
He described how he had to con-
tend with the officials of other cities
and towns, to determine who was
responsible for this or that family
that had moved from one place to
another and needed help. Many
cities and towns were always trying
to put off on others the RESPONSE
bility for such families that had been
on the move. 1t was a game calling
for patient investigation and some
cleverness and knowledge of the law
governing these points.
This official did not play the game
in any heartless way, as his COM
munity was generous to poor folks,
and desired to dodge no real respon-
sibility. But it had to look out that
no bucks were passed to it that did
not belong there. So life is full of
this form of competition, in which if
one does not take care, one will get
loaded up with many bucks which
really belong to others.
The game of passing the buck is
played very actively in political life,
though perhaps no more so than in
business. The old type of gumshoe
politician has been very skilful at
it. He knew how to dodge respon-
sibilities, avoid committing himself
TO any great extent, and how to
blame somebody else or some other
party for things where he was equal
ly at fault.
The people appreciate willingness
to shoulder responsibility more than
ever before. They admire a man who
resolutely faces a situation that be-
longs to him to handle, and will
make an honest try to meet it and
fail, rather than be remiss in duty.

LIFE AS A GAME

Teachers, clergymen, and others
who obtain a closeup view of the
Younger generation, feel that these
people just coming on the stage Oh
life are going to have quite different
conceptions from those hitherto pre-
vailing.
One of the ideas held by many of
these young folks, is that the older
generation have weighed and pond
cred too much and they take life too
seriously. This does not necessarily
mean that the young crowd will
waste any more time than their faith
ers and mothers did, They have
more time than their fathers and
mothers did. They have more amuse-
ments offered them, and may seem
to waste more time. Yet they are
good workers, full of ambition, and
deal more than the generation that
is passing off the stage ever did.
81 look at life as kind of game"
said one of these young fellows the
other day. 1T is not such a Won
derful thing to win, nor such ter
rible thing to lose as you seem to
think it is.
am sick Nof so much hesitating
and worrying. 1t is better to keep
acting. even if Won make some mis-
takes. Eventually you will win out
that way, because you learn every
time you get thrown down"
OF course these young folks are
making lot of blunders. Many
times they could avoid troubles if
they would take the advice of their
elders. But there is something in
the way they plunge into things that
arouses admiration.
There are many of the older peo-
pie who have frittered away half
their energy and wasted their pos
sibilities, by their hesitaions and de-
alterations and inactions. What
life needs is some kind of golden
mean between the headlong rush
of the young crowd, which believes
in taking chances and running risks,
and the over caution of the older
folks, who need more of the game
spirit in life.

AL Shelton, the cleverest colored
boy developed in this neck of the

be seen in action with Johnny Brown
Of Chicago, who is bidding fair for
the honors once held by our once
famous Joe Cans.
Brown is filling several dates out

Wyo., on the 10th, and If terms can
be reached between his manager,
VIM. Jones, and matchmaker Johnny
Walton, The Gateway A. c. will have
a large down town house to stage the
show. Walton has the choice of two
theaters, and may decide on one.
The fans who saw the go between
Kid Bearcat and Shelton at the last

savings that Shelton can hold his
own with any boy his weight. Brown
claims to be the lightweight champ

IF SKIN BREAKS
OUT AND ITCHES
APPLY SULPHUR

just the moment you apply Men
tho.Sulphur to an itching, burning
or broken out skin, the. itching stops
and healing begins, says noted skin
specialist. This sulphur preparation,
made into pleasant cold cream, gives
such a quick relief, even to fiery &C.
zema, that nothing has ever been
found to take its place.
Because of it's germ-destroying
properties, it quickly subdues the
itching, cools the irritation and heals
the eczema right up, leaving a clear,
smooth skin in place of ugly erup-
tiops, rash, pimples or roughness.
You do not have to wait for i'm
provement. 1t quickly shows. You

Sulphur at any drug store.
