Sky Writing Is Improved
Army Men Say Greatest Development Will Be Com
mercially

The mcst recen. development in the
art of sky writing made by Maj.
John c. Savage, originator Of writing
advertisements in the sky, is the in
vention Of new smoke that will make
1t possible to produce letters OF diff
ferent colors. Next, the major states,
will come the development of a scheme
whereby the entire letter can be made
with one exhaust by system resem-
bling the modern typewriter. The pilot
will then be able to print his message
on his "blue-board" instead of being
compelled to write it out in a sort
of boyish scroll.
Sky writing, according to air ser
vice officers stationed at army posts
near San Antonio, must depend on its
commercial possibilities for its devel-
ment and use. 1t has very little prac-
teal value in so far as the army is
concerned.
The greatest value of sky writing
from a military standpoint lies in its
use for the spreading of propaganda.
The British government is planning to
use this method of warning the SUI
perstitious people of Afghanistan that
their gods are displeased with their
sinful behavior in causing the gov
eminent of Great Britain considera-
BILE trouble during recent years.
The value of sky writing as
! means of spreading propaganda among
displeased or disheartened army is
thought to be considerable by men
who have studied the questions. Whole
Italian army were caused during the
World War by German propaganda
that was dropped from airplanes. BY
means OF sky writing. the aviator's
message would probably reach more
people and be more effective in de-
stroying the morale OF the soldiers.
The same reason that would make
sky writing an effective means of
spreading propaganda would initiate
against its use as means of convey
ing messages to friendly troops. What
ever message might be written would
be as plainly visible to the enemy as
TO forces for whom it was meant.
There is little likelihood that it will
ever be used extensively as a means
of communication.
The greatest benefit that has ac-
crued to the army out of the devel-
opment Of sky writing lies in the use
of the smoke screen. Smoke can be
spread by this means in such a way
that the movement of troops is almost
entirely concealed FROM the enemy.
As an advertising medium, however,
sky writing seems destined to undergo
extensive development. The manufac-
tuners of a brand Of cigarettes are
said to have made a lucky strike"
indeed when they entered into a con-
tract with an aviator who has placed
the name of their brand of cigarettes
oil over the American sky.
With the development that is being
made in methods of writing in the
sky, the use Of sky writing for ad-
vertising purposes is certain to in
crease. 1t is highly probable that at
some future time retail stores all over
the world will be having their bar

O TIE o
AMERICAN
LEGION
LEGION WAS LUCKY
IN 1924 CONGRESS

In outlining the achievements of the
national legislative committee of the
American Legion during the first SEES
sion of the Sixty-eighth congress. John
/ Thomas Taylor, vice chairman of the
! committee, stated that eight measures
Of major Importance were enacted
I largely through the efforts Of the Lee
gion He declared 1924 was the most
successful year in the history of the
Legion in carrying out policies.
The eight Legion-sponsored bills,
made laws, were: the adjusted com
pensation bill, the creation of the com
mittee on World war veterans legisla-
ton Of the house of representatives,
Reed-Johnson bill, affecting more than
100000 disabled veterans and their de-
pendents; the Fernald-Langley bill, au-
thorizing the construction of fireproof
hospitals costing S6.5OO,000 and con-
tanning 2,350 beds; provision for a
$4,000 training school for blind vet
Grams at Evergreen, Nd: the Fred
ericks bill, providing a Sl,500,00O fire
proof hospital, containing 500 beds, at
Santa Monica, CALI; house resolution
authorizing a survey and investigation
OF World war veterans hospitals and
soldiers homes provision for the cree
ton of permanent stone crosses in
overseas cemeteries; and the war
trophies bill, to distribute the vast
amount Of war material captured and
surrendered from Germany.
Other measures which the Legion ap-
proved and extended it's influence
toward enactment were: the immigra-
ton act of 1924 which restricts and
selects immigrants and excludes the
japanese; the constitutional amend
ment to prohibit child labor, which
now goes to the states for ratification.
Important provisions of the Reed
Johnson bill are: extension to January
l, 1925, of the presumption of auto
matte service connection for disabirI-
ties, from the former period of three
years after discharge, a provision
which viii allow 10000 veterans to Inn
/ mediately connect their disabilities

Y.D. had arranged for Transley prac-
tically an open credit with his bank
ers, and had undertaken to send down
all the horses and equipment that

Tran ley had planned TO return to
the foothills with Y.D., but al the last
moment business matters developed
which required his attention. He
placed a tiny package in Y.D's ca

on his return home Y.D., after
