WHY
Do We Have q Palate?

Examination OF the cavity
through which food is taken into
the body will show that it is form
ed of two lips which assist us in
drinking and picking up our food,
teeth which grind or crush this
food into pulp which can be
easily worked upon by the gastric
juices Of the stomach and the roof
of the mouth-itself divided into
two portions, usually referred. to
as the hard palate" and the soft
palate" The former Is formed Of
bones covered by a thick layer Of
skin; the latter of fold of mus.
cular tissue, covered with mucous
membrane.
The soft palate forms a partial
partition between the mouth and
the pharnyx, and is raised in the
act of swallowing, so as to close
the entrance to the back nasal pas
sages. This portion of the palate
contains large number of glands
that secrete mucous, which assists
in the fabrication of the throat,
but the popular belief that the pal
ate IL the seat of taste-as evi.
denced by the phrase, food that
tickles the palate'-is erroneous
for the nerves of taste are located
for the most part in the tongue,
although some Of the most deli.
cate ones are 80 far back that they
appear to be almost on the soft
palate itself.

patrol tent the scouts made their
emblem Of sticks and stones and

There was an extra tent pitch
ed for two tiny ragged refugee
boys, who strolled into camp be-
cause they had no home and no
food. The Girl Scouts had adopt

The camp was "A model, due no

Secretary Of the Navy.

o6CECe1EE Va UAAO ANSNSe
(Reprinted From U. 8. Air Service
Magazine.)
Aviation as q part Of the naval
defense OF the country has been
developed as an active and
integral part Of the naval estab-
lishment during the past few
years. and its Importance il q
generally accepted fact by those
who have been charged with
maintaining q navy proportion
ate to the needs Of the country.
1t requires no extraordinary
degree Of foresight to recognize
that developments OF, the past
ten years have injected new
element into modern warfare.
Forces on land and sea must
reckon seriously with attack
from the air, and the obvious
solution is found in measures
which can be depended upon to
meet such an attack or to guard
against it. The natural conse-
quence of such conclusions IL the
building up Of a. strong. active
aviation wing in the navy, espec-
tally adapted to operations from
ships at sea.
The maintenance of an adequate
navy, however, in terms of sur
face ships of aircraft involves
considerations beyond the fitness
of the units which compose our
peace-time requirements. These,
loIS
to man them, form only q nu-
cleus around which must be built
an expanded organization in the
event of a national emergency.
The real power of the country
reserve strength, and adequate
depend on the facility with which
resources may be mobilized,
In the light of these generally
accepted principles, the status Of
commercial aviation in this coun'
tional defense, for commercial
aviation and the industry which
would flourish under its expau-
sion must form the reserve power
to back up the military and naval
aviation forces.
One of the first demands made
upon the industrial organization
of the country during the last
war was for the creation or an
active aircraft industry. The
need was supplied, but at tre-
mendous cost of time and money.
Even the genius of American in
dustry could not meet such a
demand on the instant and with
out exacting the price entailed
by lack of preparation.
The aircraft industry which
was necessary to supply the
urgent requirements Of the last
war will be equally necessary IL
another such emergency should
arise: it's creation would result in
an equal or even greater expendi-
ture, and time would, in all prob
ability, be a more vital factor in
national safety. And yet this
serious condition could easily
come about, lacking the condi-
tions that are requisite to sustain
the aircraft industry in time Of
neace on basis which would
render it available in time Of
war for military production.
There is a direct analogy be-
tween this situation and the recent
awakening to the need for q mer-
chant marine operating under the
American flag. In the last war
the cry was for ships and still
more ships. Today the need for
merchant marine ts generally REQ.

| BE POLITICIAN
DUPONT SAYS
TO AMBITIOUS

E6OooD business men with
y common sense, fair and
impartial, and with twice
as much patience as anything else,
are most needed in political life at
present" according to Senator T.
Coleman du Pont of Delaware,
whose ability in~the business world
has made him gigantic figure In
the Industrial life OF the nation.
Before he delved, in politics, he had
succeeded in coal mining, street
railway and hotel operation, road
building. skyscraper construction,
and insurance. He was for time
president Of the E. l. du Pont de
Nemours Company.
II think that many congressman
and some Senators are attracted
to the position by the salary" de-
clares Senator du Pont, in Forbes
Magazine. And In some cases it
is salary plus perquisites attached
to the office. T know from per-
sonal experience that in many
cases these men never earned as
much before in their lives. I don't
think they could earn as much
anywhere else.
I'm my judgment, the salary
should be divided by five, or null
tiplied by five. If divided by five,
1t would not be an inducement to
many who are there today. If
multiplied by five, it would be
worth while and some good men
would go after the position.
IF the man with money has
made that money himself by
hard work, honest dealing and
tenaclty to his calling (be that
what it may, 1 think he is better
fitted for Congress than a man
who has not been able to handle
his own affairs satisfactorily"
And when asked why he is. in
politics, he said:
II am in politics because it is
the duty of every American
citizen to take an interest in
the politics of his city, of his
State, and of his nation.
II do not like politics. I am
not a trained politician and
feel in the Senate that am in
many ways out Of place. 1 can
accomplish more in less time and
do constructive work and have
something to show for it with
much less effort outside the Sen
ate.
II believe, however, that there
Is a splendid opportunity for con-
structive work in the Senate and
a chance for economy and eff
cheney far beyond that offered in
any business.
$50 far I have obtained no sat-
isfaction whatever in politics as
judged by results, but 1 do feel
that have done my duty to-
ward my city, State, and nation
as every good citizen should do

and not to the golf course.

ment and on election day stay as

DENLY WRITES CT
AIR INDUSTRY AND DEFENSE

Ognized throughout the country
ships which win carry American
products to the foreign markets OF
the world: and, further than this,
ships and men that viii form q
strong reserve Tor naval explanation
II the necessity should arise.
BY the same token. there - =
real need for commercial aviation
in this country, when viewed iil
the light OF national preparedness.
Generally speaking. the CONNER
cial types OF aircraft lend them
selves to military and naval uses
more readily than do commercial
types Of ships. And the industry
that is essential to provide COM
mercial planes IL even more essen
ttal In the maintenance and ex-
pansion Of air power. It il mani-
testify impossible for the Govern
ment to maintain an industrial or
ganization capable Of supplying itm
war needs in aircraft; and even if
this were possible, 1t would be
highly undesirable aside from the
enormous expense involved. The
result would be a dearth Of design
and ideas that could naturally be
had from a highly competitive In
dustry.
Let as analyze our position as
regards aviation development with
respect to other nations OF the
world. We are admittedly lar be-
hind in commercial aeronautics.
We have in existence an active air
craft industry born Of the need for
aircraft in the last war. The mar
ket for military and naval typessof
airplanes has been pared down to
peace-time requirements, and the
commercial market is almost non
existent in this country; the for
eign market is supplied by foreign
industry, and offers almost no OPP
portunity for the American prod.
uct. This state Of affairs cannot
long continue, and the. obvious
choice lies between two alternatives:
Either an American commercial
market must arise to support the
American industry, or the industry
will collapse. From the point Of
view of national defense the latter
alternative presents real menace
to the continued development q
naval and military aviation.
The solution to this problem n
to be found in the growth and de-
velopment of commercial aviation
to point at least equal to that Of
foreign countries: and it would
seem that this solution hinges on
the stabilizing of commercial avia-
ton through pertinent Legislation.
1t cannot be argued that the enact
ment of laws will Immediately
create a popular response to the
appeal of commercial aeronautice.
but such laws as would safeguard
the public interests by providing
adequate licensing and inspection
for privately operated aircraft
would go long way toward Great
ing public confidence in aviation.
