 The Coast Surveys Argument
 We are as good searneH as you are," is the response of the Coast Survey. Our officers have had a longer aver age of sea service than yours. Further, the making of charts is h: :hydrograph CTS business. How can your officers be first chop photographers when they are rotated in and out of the Hydro graphic Office every two yearsg'
 The decision rests with Congress and seems apt to continue, to rest there. The situation is paralIelled with every other pair of rival bureaus in the gov ernment. Each of a given pair agrees that one of them should be swallowed, but disagrees as to the identity of the swallowed Meanwhile, the Hydro graphic Office goes on about its busi- ness. Last year it helped the seismolo- gists locate the faults in the earth's crust along which the next earthquake may be expected, and this summer it is asked to aid party of scientists to visit Nikoa Island in the Pacific, where newly discovered prehistoric ruins await a looking over.
 Varied Tasks Tor II. 0. Chief
 His men say that Captain F. B. Bassett is human" Captain Bassett is the present chief photographer. He is tall kindly, affable naval officer, who is intensely interested in every detail of his work. Quires of letters from scientists come into his desk. They want the volunteer correspondents of the H. o. to report on odd bugs on a distant island; on the cannibalistic practices of a shock k-headed tribe of savages; on the prevalence of fish eat- ing hummingbirds in the mandates; on everything else that may seem to be in- teresting to a scientist. And Captain Bassett does his best.
 During the war he was rear ad- miral in command of the destroyers along the Atlantic coast. and during his forty years sea service he has serr- ed on fifteen ships and, had almost as many ~shore assignments covering al. most every branch of naval activity. One would say that he would retain his self-command under any circumstances after such an experience.
 Doubtless he would. But did not ask him about the Coast Survey.

REAL WORKERS AT
 THE NAIONAL CAPITAL
By HERBERT COREY

WASHINGTON, D. C.,.April 12.- Events come ,cross-wise in this world. If Matthew Fontaine AIaury had not broken his leg eighty-odd years ago the United States navy might not now be sniffing at Secretary Herbert Hoover because he wants to put its hydro graphic office in his Department of Commerce. li
 It was the age of canvas and clipper ships when Maury was a boy. Sea captains left port with a Bible, a cask of rum, few odds and ends of instru- ments and conviction that ultimately they would blow into the port at the distant end of the route. Little was known of the dependability of the trades and monsoons and other winds. Then Lieutenant Maury fell through" q hatchway. -f
 .".Let us give him nice, easy job" !" said the Navy Department of that day, swhere he can stay until his leg knits and he is fit to go to sea again."
 Had Ideas About Winds
 The easiest job possible was to be found in the Bureau of Charts and In struments. It was q sort of warehouse, in which chronometers and sextants were deposited with recltises when a naval vessel returned from a cruise. Instead of sitting back in his chair, Maury exhibited irritability. He said he bad an idea that at certain seasons certain winds were inyariable. Mari ners might take advantage of them if they only knew. @s 4l's,s
 'The poor boys leg must be, hurting him." the naval officials of that day probably said. ta 4
 But they gave Maury permission to spend his time as he saw fit, doubtless reasoning that game-legged man could not be of much service anyhow. He examined the logs of more than 5000 sea voyages into almost, every patch of salt water known and worked out his theory of winds, on which the science of deep-sea sailing has rested ever since. Not steaming, mind you. Steaming is a horse of another color. The wind-roses which decorate the pilots charts of the seas are due to him. % q
 Sailors Called Maury Crazy 1He man IS crazy, Sald the sailors of that day when he made known his discovery.
 So other sea-captains were started on deep-sea race, with the result that those who, followed Maury's reyolu- tionary ideas saved forty-five days over the sailing time of the conservatives on the voyage from San Francisco to New York. That established his theory firmly, and in 1S42 he was made chief of the Photographic Office of the Navy. nee the Bureau of Charts. The Ma tional Academy of Sciences adopted a resolution twenty years later to the effect that because Maury, who was a Southerner, had taken the side of the South in ther Civil war. his trumpery ideas about winds should thereupon be dismissed by the navigators.

DALLAS FILLS BOSTON ORDER
 FOR 2,OOO FLIES

DALLAS, Tex, April 12-Two thousand Dallas houseflies are on their way or have arrived in Boston, They travelled by express in special shipments, the last consignment leaving here three days ago.
 Just what Boston wanted with 2,000 flies from the south is not known here. The order was received and filled by F. c. Bishop, chief en- tomologist of the United States de- pertinent of agriculture in Dallas. A private business concern in Bos- ton asked for the flies. The order was difficult to fill, as flies of the variety wanted are scarce here as yet this year..

Legislature Passes Davison Bill To Remove Bar

ALBANY, N. Y., April 12.-The New York legislature, in the. closing aours' of tits session yesterday, passed the 4Davison bill designed to make bonds of southern states, counties and municipalities legal investments for savings banks, provided they meet the requirements imposed on other similar bonds. The measure now is before Gov ernor Smith. Under existing statutes no savings bank in the state may in- vest in bonds of any state, county or municipality which has defaulted either principal or interest since 1861.

something on pyorrhea of the teeth that the common civilian can read?SI want to know about thef germ and manner of infection. Is it related to gonorrhea? Is there danger of infection from drink ing from the same cupT'
 Answer, Pyorrhea is disease which begins in the margins or edges of the gums and very slowly involves and de stroys the tissue which attaches the root of the tooth to the bone of the jaw, thus forming a pocket along the side of the root. So far as is known, the micro-organisms causing the tissue destruction are those which are found in practically all mouths; they are not very virulent, or active, in destroying tissue. Therefore, as a rule, the gum margins are first injured by some local irritation, or their resistance to in lection is lowered by systemic disease or by general lowered vitality ;" other wise these organisms could not pene. trate the gum tissue. They do not do 50 while the gums are healthy.
 Most cases of pyorrhea begin with slight irritation of the gum margin, such as might result from the wedging of particles of food between the teeth, from rough edges of filings of crowns, or from the forcing of toothpicks, ey- pecially wooden toothpicks, between the teeth. These, trivial irritations may tgo on for months without serious infection, but sooner or later it. is al- most certain to occur and then gradu- ally it progresses along the root.
 There is. no relation between gon- orrhea and pyorrhea, pyorrhea is not to be considered contagious disease. There are good reasons, however, why the common drinking cup should be avoided. @

dictated to whom the contracts for
airplanes should go. Not only were
the pioneers shut out, but they were
banned from any post where they
might advise the government as to
its aircraft policy. Coffin and VALID
ron, with Deeds, made up the Air
craft Board. When the Council of
National Defense refused to give them
power to direct the air program, they
illegally assumed that power within
"a hours, and retained it until the
close of the war. They put j. G.
Vincent, Of the Packard concern, in
charge Of all motor and airplane de-
sign work, and various other cocoon
spirators or lieutenants into the other
positions of authority.
"Their ban against experienced con
structors and fliers was carried

der to get chance in the service OF
ganization. The fearless pioneer typ.
that went in for flying before any
money could be had or safety known
were unwilling to doublecross the
government, but they hadn't a chance
against the Deeds-Coffin crowd, which
had allied itself with Stettinius of
Morgon & Co. Stettinius was put in
charge of aircraft work in the war de-
partment, and the Morgan interests
helped the rest of the ring to get gov
eminent jobs. Then it shared in the
big cleanup. The treasury paid all
the bills.
1.-THE Dayton Wright Co. was or.
ganized by Deeds, and was first owned
by the Dayton Metal Products Co.,
in which Deeds and one Kettering
were chief stockholders. Deeds passed
his stock over to his wife, took his
job in the government, and handed
to this company some millions of dol
lars of public money as advances on
the manufacture of planes. There
wasn't a man in the whole Dayton
Wright concern who had even been
responsible for building a successful
plane. Orville Wright had nothing

self and by depriving its projectors
of motors for the planes, under the
powers of the emergency act for the
Aircraft Board.
"They destroyed the bomber by de-
laying and suppressing its introduc-
ton and finally by shooting incen-
diary darts into its gasoline tank
"3. They then received one billion
dollars, and in spite of having de-
stroyed something already in exist
ence, which they knew to be the es-
sential weapon Of the United States
in the war, they did not even make
an effort to supply substitute. Not
even one fighting plane made by them
was in commission when the war
ended"
Martin sketched the early years Of
flying in this country, and the com
ing upon the scene of Coffin, Waldron
and others interested only in making
a huge profit from control of the in
vention. Russell A. Alger, Jr., son
Of Canned Beef Alger, who was
secretary Of war during the Mckinley
administration, was one of the group.
They saw American participation in
the war coming, and they organized
to make the most of the opportunity.
BY talking great deal, and forming
companies of big apitalization--on
paper-they captured the limelight
just before 1917. When the war decla-
ration was signed they were ready to
form the Aircraft Board which lob
bied its way triumphantly to the pub
lie treasury and grabbed an initial
appropriation of $640,00O,000 for its
advertised program of winning the
war" in the air.
There were at that time in this
country" said Martin, "eight pioneer
fliers who had designed, built and
flown airplanes with success. These
men were ready, as l have said, and
they proceeded to enlist financial
backing and to propose to the govern
ment that they be given the chance to
build planes of the types they had
proven. But Deeds, Coffin and their
group simply eliminated all Of these
pioneers from the situation. Deeds
was made colonel and placed in
charge Of the air service. He then

Coolidge And Cox,
Ohio's Selections
For The Presidency

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 11.--Presi-
dent Calvin Coolidge and former Gov
ernor James M. Cox are ohio's selec-
tons for the republican democratic
nominations for president.
Voters of Ohio, in the recent presi-
Dental primaries, gave decisive ma,
jorities for Coolidge and Cox in the
preferential vote, and gave to each,
the states delegations to their re-
spective national party conventions.
Coolidge's victory over Senator Hi
ram Johnson was overwhelming. In
complete returns indicate the presi-
dent won by a majority OF more than
six to one.
Cox apparently defeated William G.
McAdoo by nearly three to one.
