by George Washington. Gen. John J.
Pershing told the council in an
earlier address.
Washington visualized system
of defense based upon. the idea of
an army of the people themselves,
armed and disciplined for their own
security" Pershing said 1.-TWO
years later, Congress, in the militia
act, attempted to. carry this policy
into effect. From the standpoint OF
a national military organization, this
law was almost ideal, but the system
was a complete failure, mainly be.
cause Washington was not given the
power to secure the appointment of
competent officers"
General Pershing said that in the
present national defense act I'VE are
undertaking to construct citizen
army similar in all essential respects
to that which Washington pro.
posed"

stressed the need of driving the
peaceful power of the ballot home to
the voters of the nation as being the
first requirement in the duties of an
American citizen. He cited cases
where, because only 81 per cent of
the people voted, a grating political
ring held city in it's power. They
were overthrow when IS per cent
of the voters went to the polls. Each
community, he declared, can easily
insure justice being done if the COM
munity members will only register
their opinions. This especially APP
piled, he said, to the so-called intel
ligent element, and the professional
classes who too frequently stay away
from the polls on the plea that vot-
ing does no good.

partment of Commerce and the

briefly and graphically define
Americas rightful position in the

Everyone can remember in his
school days of England's claim
printed in our text books, Brittania
Rules the Waves Men of vision
in this country assert that it mat
ters not in this age who rules the
waves, but who rules the air. Two
Americans were the first to prove
that "heavier- than-air" machine
was possible, but this country has
permitted European nations to de-
velop air crafts. France has taken
advantage of the Wright brothers
proof that an airship is practical,
and have developed to a marked
degree both airplanes and seaplanes
for military and commercial use.
Thus, America has been left far be-
hind in developing 'tomorrows

hers by right of invention.

Lack of appropriations prevents
departments in the Government
from taking an active part in the
developing of Americas commercial
air service. Bureaus in the Depart
ment of Commerce are lending their
moral support" to commercial fly
ing, but lack of Congressional auth
oriZation has not permitted them to
subsidize or experiment in air serv-
ice. as do some of the European ma.
lions. Until something is done to
remedy this condition, the develop
ing of Americas air service will
have to be done by far sighted citi-
zens who believe that the air is

Lack of Regulations.

One can get a better picture Of
Americas woeful lack of vision in
the developing of air transportation
by the lack of regulations which
govern flying. If a person should
pilot a ''jitney" down Pennsylvania
avenue without a permit, it would be
breaking the law, for which there is
a fixed penalty. If one should ope-
rate a motor boat of certain horse
power down the Potomac. he would
have to carry a license. Yet there is
no law to prevent anyone from open
ing a commercial air service route
between any point in the United
States.
The w shington Times and
Herald with the unofficial co-opera-
ton of the Department of Com
mcrce, and the active interest of the
Aeormarine Always System, Inc,
hope that the developing of a slogan
may bring the seriousness of our
weakness in the air to the attention
of those officials who have the power
and authority to correct it. The
slogan, however, should portray
America rightful position in the
air, and not the position which we
maintain at the present time. All
slogans should be addressed to the
'Aeromarine Slogan Editor. Wash
ington Times and Herald" and
should be in his hands on or before
Thursday. May 81. The ten best
slogans will win air tours to Mt.
Vernon. Arlington and return. No
limit is set on the number Of words
in the slogan, but brevity Is de-.
sirable.

Fireman Hurt IN Crash
Fights Gar11ely to
Regain Health
His Neck Ligaments Severely
Angelo Schneider Wears
Brace to Support His Head.
Believes Regulations Can Be
Framed to Lessen Danger of
Collisions.

Cheerfully facing the future,
determined come what may to
win in life's battle, Angelo
Schneider, formerly driver of the
first fire battalion chiefs auto,
is a living example of how the
miraculous sometimes interferes
to thwart Fate.
Thrown more than thirty feet
when the battalion chiefs car,
racing to fire, was hit by a
speeding auto truck, and landing
on his neck on the hard pave
ment at Bladensburg road and
Park place, Schneider was picked
up unconscious. It was believed.
his neck had been broken.
Neck Ligaments Torn.
Later examinations proved, now
ever, that while the spine had not
been fractured one of the ligaments
controlling the head had been torn.
The collision occurred on August 5,
1922 For several weeks Schneider
was confined to his bed. Then
came the day when he could rise.
1t was painful effort he made
to assume a sitting position. When
at last he succeeded in doing so he
discovered he could not control or
support his head. Surgeons studied
his case with the result that a sup
porting collar was designed ana
with it's aid he is able to be up and
about.
Of course he is unable to work.
In addition to the injury in the
region of the neck his left clbotv
was broken. The fracture has knit
together but the arm, it is under
stood, will never again be normal.
Schneider is married but has no
children.
Tells of Experiences.
Telling Of his experience today he
said:
Traffic regulations cannot be
framed which will entirely remove
the danger of collisions, but it
seems to me a change could be eff
ing apparatus a clear right-of-waY. l
know that such regulations exist
but it may be possible to revise
them so as to make 1t obligatory for
all vehicles to come to a stop when
they hear fire engines approaching,
or at least do so after drawing to
the side of the street.
when we were hit we were speed
ing as fast as the car would go.
The collision came so quickly it
could not be anticipated. All re-
call is binding flash, a crashing of
the autos as they met and a return
to consciousness later in bed. ]
escaped with my life and / regard 1t
as a miracle. Acting Battalion Oh eff
Mcconnell was with me. Fortunately
he escaped with less serious in
juries."
The driver Of the motor truck
was fined s25 for reckless driving
and causing a collision.
Surgeons Still Have Hope.
According to Schneider, surgeons
hold out the hope that eventually
the torn ligament in his neck can
be brought together and reunited.
Then he will be able to discard his
collar support.
In the meanwhile he is looking
at life cheerfully. certain that he
will be able to pay the family way
as he goes. He fully realizes the
handicap under which he labOrs,
but declares he will overcome it.
1t is to assist men meeting with
such mishaps in the discharge of
their duty, as well as to aid the
widows and children of firemen
killed in active work. that the fire
men maintain their relief fund.

MAY REOPEN BONUS CASE
Result of Minnesota Supreme Court
Decision Likely to Affect "Non-
Residence" Ruling.

Claims Of from 10000 to $1,000 vet
Grams who registered and were induct-
ed into the service from Minnesota,
disallowed by the bonus board on a
"nonreSidence" ruling, may be re
opened as q result of the recent de-
cision of the state Supreme court in
the case of Everett Baum.
In it's ruling the Supreme court held
that a person temporarily residing in
Minnesota at the time of the call for
registration who registered and who
thereafter left the state but returned
TO be indicted by the draft board into
the service, is entitled to the state
bonus.
Baum, who was born in Pennsyl-
vania, came to Minneapolis in May,
1917, obtained work and registered for
the draft in June. The following Janu-
airy he went to Oregon and Washing
ton, but returned in July at the call OF
the draft board. He entered the serv-
fee and year later was honorably dis
charged.
The bonus board disallowed his
claim on the grounds that he was not
a bona fide resident of Minnesota. The
Supreme court ruled that he was a
resident because "the place OF resi-
dence is the place of work"
. It is pointed out by American Lee
gion members that if this is the case,
the 10000 or $4,000 similar applica-
tions involving nearly 100000 from
others, who constituted the states
floating population on registration day.
June 8, 1917, and who were suisse
quently indicted, may also be affected
by this decision.

this ended the dull period of his trav-

In those days there were ships
manned by Portuguese rogues, very
good in port, but unpleasant to meet
with st sea. They were armed with
cannon, pots of wild fire, unslaked lime
to be flung in the Chinese manner,
stones, javelins, arrows, half-pikes,
axes and graphing irons, all used to
collect toll from Chinese, Malay, or
even Arab merchants. Pinto found
that this life suited him.
Antonio de Faria, Pinto's captain,
had vowed to wipe out Kwaja Russian,
MOslem corsair from Gujerat In
western India. In search of Russian
he had many adventures in the China
seas, capturing pirate crews, dashing
out their brains, and collecting amber,
gold and pearls. Off Hainan he so
frightened the local buccaneers that
they proclaimed him their king and ar
ranged to pay him tribute.
Luckily for them, Faria's ship was
cast away upon a desert island. The
crew found a deer which had been left

On each side of the electromagnetic
drill hole in the base through which
long machine screws are inserted. A
nut should be run down on each one
to clamp it TO the base. Next obtain
strip of thin, first-quality mica
about three-fourths of an inch wide,
and slightly longer than the distance
between the two machine screws. Drill
holes in each end of this strip, so that
it may be placed upon the two screws.
In the center of the strip, directly
over the center of the space between
the two pole pieces, drill another hole.
A circular diaphragm placed in the
same way could also be used.
We will now proceed to the winding
of the movable core. Make form or
template of two wooden blocks as
shown in Fig. ,, with core one-fourth
of an inch apart. They should also be
arranged so as to be readily remov-
able, after the coil is wound On this
template just constructed, wind about
500 feet of No. A enameled wire.
After the required number of feet
are wound on the coil, one side of the
form should be carefully removed and
thin shellac applied to the exposed
side of the coil. After this dries, re-
move the core and the other side Of
the form, and carefully shellac the
other side of the coil. After the shell
lac dries, wind very carefully several
turns of fine sewing silk around the
coil, taking care to preserve it's shape
and thickness.
Now obtain a split copper rivet and
insert it in the center hole in the mica
strip. Fasten this firmly in place with
shellac. Place the moving coil be-
tween the two legs of the rivet, and
squeeze them lightly together, taking
care not TO damage the coil In so do
ing.
Now assemble the component parts
as shown in Fig. 1, and over the en-
tire apparatus place a box, in the top
of which is a large hole TO admit the
needle on the monograph reproducer.
The instrument is connected with
out the use of step-down transform
er and is placed upon the top of the
photograph, as shown in Fig. 1. The
result will be, if properly constructed,
a loud-talker whose operation will be
equal to the best on the market.
