Paddock viii

New York, Feb. Charlie
Paddock, one of the fastest
things on two legs, is taking his
proposed trip east seriously, and
has mapped out strenuous
Csraintng period in preitltatioh
for the reception he expects to
receive from eastern sprintefs.
One of the most significant fea
turs of his training is the fact
that he is not making the big
mistake of Understanding his
CT of overestimating
his own ability; and when an 'ath
.lete passes through the stages of
success which Charlie has ac-
hieved and yet admits that he
can be beaten. be is still a
lightly dangerous antagonist and

There is no reason to believe
that Paddock has lost any of his
speed since the Olympics and all
his recent records go to show
that he is faster man now than
he was at that time. Therefore,
whether Paddock is at his best or
not upon his arrival here, it will
at his best be a big feather in
the cap of any sprinter who
leads him to the tape.
McAllister, Marchison and De-
coney at present look to be his
logical eprinents. McAllister'

veloped in the last year, has not

Fort Collins, Colo.-Waldo #. Hoppe

quarters will be at Pueblo. Mr.. Hoppe
has made IA remarkable record in edu-

to his efforts while connected with the

the air so far as the defense of the
country is concerned
The increase sought this year is i'm
perative on account of the equipment
situation, which is becoming acute.
Owing to rapid deterioration of planes
in service and the unavoidable number
of crashes, the constant replacement
program must go on uninterrupted.
For four years the government has
been using for the most part war
equipment, new construction being
confined largely to development Of
types. Commercial aviation in the
country, largely dependent on army
and navy aviation, has been checked
materially. 1t Is conservatively esti-
mated that within two years there will
be less than 300 available combat
planes in the army service. At present
only about 450 alrplaIbes are available
for combat use, with almost negli-
gible number under construction.
Compared to the 22O squadrons with
1900 machines that France soon will
be able to mobilize and the home de
fense force Of 50 squadrons called for
in the new program under way In
England, making total Of IA squad
rons, the present force In the Ameri-
can army is woefully inadequate, in
the opinion Of aviation heads.

A FEELING OF SECURITY

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such a medicine is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every bot
tie of Swamp Root.
1t is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
1t is not stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for everything.
1t is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and bladder
troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
If you need . medicine, you should
have the best. On sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes. medium and large.
However, if you wish first to try this

Under the present system, Mr..
Brown said, the president has a scant
two hours daily to devote to the task
of being the nations chief. so that
election to this place virtually means
signing mans death warrant. The
proposed assistant would be appointed
by the president and subject to him
