Our Navy heads might give the
country information on a sta.e-
ment recently published by English
papers. The British have arranged
their ships so that they can take
in water ballast on one side or tie
other, and thus, by making the
ship tip over, raise the guns to the
desired elevation and increase Their
range without actually changing
the mechanical adjustment Of the
guns.

New and better inventions are be
coming such daily occurrences that
sometimes we hear less OF really nota-

month memorable accomplishment
was the cable exchanges between Pres

Union Company in which a new nick
lie iron composition is used and by
which 100 letters minute are con-
ducted as compared with $50 on the
old type cables. The world moves SO

LIQUOR AT HOME As long as liquor is kept

liquor is gotten out of the homes IN American

ON
THINGS
ALL: But LOST
a. 49, By M

The Child Labor Amendment is
supposed to be lost for sure by its op-
poncnts, but the advocates are not
ready to give up the tight. They hold
that the adverse decision Of enc leg
islatiye body OF each state SO report
ed is not going to stand in the face
Of united opposition Of the people in
general. All Women's organizations and
all humanitarian societies will be
reused to greater efforts than ever
having hardly realized before, what
antagonism and much of it gross mis-
representation would be presented.
One line of opposition developed from
the opponents of prohibition who nat
ural1y have repugnance for what they
considered as federal Interference in
both the 18th and the proposed 10th
amendments. Another strong oppos-
ing force was mustered under the slo-
gan of Estates rights which being
effectively by selfish principle was used
effectively by selfish corporate inter
cstS. Also fear was engcndcred in farm
ing sections that parents might be de-
prived OF the help OF their own child
rem in a legitimate way; and then the
really high age limit Of Is years was
a real dctriment to the passage of the
bill The exploiters of child labor will
not triumph long. The champions OF
the weak and oppressed will gain wis
dom and renewed energy by this back
set and will launch campaign against
child labor that will be as sure in its
sweep as that waged for suffrage or
for prohibition and swifter in its ac-
COmplishment.

BLUE STRIPES AND
RED TAPE

It develops that the blue stripes IN
Uncle Sans mail bags cause a use
less expenditure OF $4,000 and under
President Coolidge's economy pro
gram they are to be eliminated. Also
red tape as a binder is to give way to
common white string, because OF the
senseless expense. These are not the
only items under ban. There are
weather forecast cards made obsolete
by radio reports on weather conditions
and there are booklets listing the dip
lomats i'll Washington that are declar-
ed unnecessary. Even paper, ink, pap
er clips and thumb tacks are to be
reduced in quantity. We are going to
find cut that our president comes from
New England where thrift has ever
had its habitat.

RICKENBACKER AS A
PROPHET

Major Eddie Rickenbacker, world
known American ace in the World
War has large visions of aircraft de-
velopment inathe near future He be-
lieves that in fifteen years the air
craft industry will exceed every other
one, and that big air liners will come
over the ocean with as regular sched-
ules as do ocean liners now. He be-
lieves that auxiliary planes will re-
lease passengers and mail at landing
fields and that the huge liners will
continue on their way while the planes
will return and light on the dirigible
like birds On their nest He further
predicts that big dirigibles could re-
main for year in the air without
landing at all. OF course Rickenback-
er is an ardent advocate of a federal
department of aeronautics to coordi-
nate with army and navy department.

Cayuga Falls, O., where rubber was
laid as experimental paving clever
years ago examination shows wear Of
but one eighth OF an inch. While the
first cost OF rubber paving would be
about three times as great as asphalt

other benefits make it OF superior val

that is no small item in a city, it is
