|" HAT underground world that
burrows its way beneath
Manhattan il an intriguing
place. Here life is pitched in the
superintendent overtone Of pell-
nell rush and near-riot. The sub
way Is indeed a modern wonder,
The trains roaring by with their
rows of stole faces are marvels OF
speed accuracy. They are rarely
late. In the darkened tubes the
lights cut silhouettes of mystery
against the iron hills.
The skilled criminal, near cap
ture, races for the subway, for it
IL 50 complicated that not even
old employees can find their way
around. The fugitive can back
track and move forward for hours
with no fear Of capture.
During rush hours It is amazing
that more people are not hurt or
killed. but accidents on the sub
way are few. Husky guards stand
at the sliding doors and then circle
around in a flying wedge to cata-
putt passens RS into the cars.
People become used to being
!. tramped upon, poked in the ribs
and roughly jostled. The good
temper that is displayed is extra
ordinary. Passengers know they
can get home quickly, and 80 they
suffer the inconvenience with q
Spartan spirit. Once In a while a
ruff1ed passenger losses casual
blasphemies at the guards as the
train pulls out, but it IL nothing
violent.
ARMY OF SCRUBWONTEN.
At O'Clock in the morning New
FORKS army of scrubwomen enter
the subway to be whislred down.
town to the giant office buildings.
They are thrown together in the
misery Of solitude. Their faces
are sickly gray, withered, and all
are asthmatic and rheumatic. But
they cackle good naturally, greet
newcomers of their brood with
pleasant sallies and bear their lot
with stoicism.
The train guards who manipu-
late the doors and call out the sta
lions in MISUNDERSTANDING style
are mostly young Irish and italian
lads. not long here from their
native lands.
Scientists hold up their hands IN
horror at the mephitic air Of the
subway, vet there is among its
workers a condition called Sub
way fat" Nearly all Of the guards
begin to gain weight Immediately
they take jobs. And they are a
healthy lot; sickness is rare. Thus
is another medical theory upset.

The Oil Game

y.
SO many oil promoters are iaunt-
ing off to Jail the fact should teach
all voters to freeze-tiaht to. their
kale, to dodge the gay prospectus,
with promises all vain, ailurements
to defect us from pathways safe
and sane. Still stands the honest
banker between the village, pumps,
and with no heat or rancor hee tells
us we are chumps. .You3read the
daily papers, you find those papers
full OF tales of sinful 4caperS the
bllthe promoters pull. You read
about their journeys to cell and
calaboose, while divers learned at
torneys attempt to get them loose.
And still you blow your 5shillings,
and spend the hard-earned cush, to
pay for bootless drillings of wells
that never gush. On, come to me
for counsel, and of your German
marks | promise you no ounce1l be
fed to soulless sharks" A score OF
oil promoters who used to, dance and
sing have lately been the toters of
manacles that cling. We see them
going jailward, their whiskers wet
with tears, and in dark and stale
ward they'll spend some weary
years. And many more are headed
for penitential hall, where oakum
heaps are shredded, and rocks are
broken small, They're headed for a
Tophet remote from joy and bliss;
and will we suckers profit from
contemplating this?

ASKS MORE MONEY
!. FOR NAVY AVIATION
Admiral Moffett Says Work
Must Go Backward if Funds
Are Not Increased.

The situation which faces the. naval
air service as regards material and a
reserve force was characterized by
Rear Admiral William A Moffett,
chief of the bureau of aeronautics, in
his annual report to Secretary DENLY
yesterday, as very grave" and de-
plorable.
The admiral said that a reserve of
210 pilots insclasses five and six of the
reserve force is all naval aviation has
to depend upon in the event of hos
tflities He emphasized that there
must be flying reserve of no less
than 5000 pilots. 1T takes at least
six months to train an aviator" said
Admiral Moffett. Should war come
while there is still such a lack of re-
serve, naval aviation will be prac-
tically unprepared. for it would take
q large part of our qualified aviators
to train the necessary pilots"
An approximation of $1,500.000 was
urged by the admiral for inclusion in
the appropriation for the naval re-
serve force. This" he added, will
permit the training of 600 officers
during the fiscal year 1925"
Depiores Lack of Money.
Regarding material with which
the Navy air force works, Admiral
Moffett continued:
For two years past there has
been available war stock of ma
terial which has been used to the
port said. This war stock is no
longer available. Unless the ap-
preparation is greatly increased avia-
ton must go backward"
Summarizing developments during
the year in new equipment for naval
aircraft, Admiral Moffet said that
there had been important advances
IN the production of suitable types
of airplane engines for various
classes of aircraft.
1T is confidently stated that in
case of war" the report said "the
aircraft of the United States Navy
will be equipped with power plants
which will, at worst. not be inferior
to those installed in any aircraft
which may be encountered in any
phase of naval operations"
The, report showed that unless an
extensive program of modernizinS
war stocks of Liberty engines still
on hand is undertaken and proves
tionably the equal of any aircraft
engine of comparable power in the
world" in 1915, will be useless for
the work of modern aircraft.
scouts Liberty Engine.
at is extremely unlikely, how
ever, that the Liberty engine will be
a really important factor in any air
craft building program of the future,
the report said. Certainly. no new
Liberty engines will be built"
Experiments with new airplane
motor fuels during the year have in
dicated a possible reduction in fuel
consumption of 25 per cent. as com7
pared to straight gasoline, the report
said. Developments of substitutes
for gasoline now are tending toward
the use of a gasoline alcohol combi-
nation, although final decision re-
mains to be made.
In connection with the program of
employment for the airship Shenan-
doah and the ZR-3, now building in
Germany. the report said that with
these ships the Navy will determine
the practicability of dirigibles for
commercial work. obtaining data as
to the operating cost, reliability of
operation, carrying capacity and
other necessary information"
