Mitchell VIII Py0ue
Charges, He States
New Attack in Air Ser
Vice Launched By
Stormy Petrol
(By the Associated Press.)


.TASHINGTON, ID. G., Nov. 9.--An-
other reverberating cannonade of ac-
cusations was turned loose today by
Colonel William Mitchell, against those
in charge Of the military and naval air
services.
Through his counsel, Representative
! Frank Reid the colonel informed the
court martial trying him because of his
previous utterances in the air contro-
versy that he was fully prepared to
prove his charge Of criminal and almost
reasonable negligence in government
aviation.
Among the multitude of offenses Of
which the defense counsel promised to
furnish proof were these:
That the Shenandoah went on her
fatal western trip unfit and against the
will of her commander, Zachary Lands
downe.
Renews Charges
That naval officer sought to have
Landsdowne's widow give false testi-
mony.
That those who arranged the unsuc-
cessful Hawaiian flight of the PN-9
number 1, were incompetent"
That high army and navy officers
had testified falsely before committees
Of congress.
That Colonel Mitchell himself was
denoted and transferred because he told
the truth
That government aviators are put to
unnecessary hazards and many killed
as result.
That the government has failed to
thwart a project to give a foreign
flight organization a foothold near the
Panama canal and to provide adequate
air protection to Hawaii and the
Philippines.
That 1920 planes is used by the war
department in computing the strength
of the United States in aircraft. but
that only SO planes are modern and up
to-date, that sixty of these are being
used for training purposes, leaving nine
available for use against an enemy.
That general staff officers are not
qualified by training and experience
for aviation policies.
Witness Called.
Major General. Amos A. Fries, chief OF
the chemical warfare service, was the
first witness called by the defense. He
described in detail his experiences in
France.
How much gas would it take to gas
an area the size of the District of Co.

ITO Creager and BetanZa for a
general traffic bridge at Hidsl-
90, HidaIgo county.
This IN the second concession granted
recently for a bridge at this crossing.
AbeIardo Trevino of Brownsville having
recently been granted a similar csH-
cessfUn.
NJ r. Not Concerned
An application for permission to build
the bridge will now be made To the
United tSates congress. This, 10 fs
said, IL merely formaIity and no doubr
was expressed but that the permission
will be granted Creager and Betanza.
Some curiosity was expressed in
Brownsville today as To- the probablg
location Of the Creager-B Betanza bridge,
as virtually all the river frontage ON
the American side between the present
International bridge and point about
hundred feet up stream from the
Fort Brown wall IL owned by the
Brownsville Ferry Company or Che
Brownsville q Matamoros Bridge Com
pany, both subsidiaries Of the Gulf
Coast Lines. This ownership leads to
the belief that the Gulf Coast Lines
might be Interested in the new bridge
project, but it was stated nc Mr. Crsag-
er's office that the railroad was i'm no
wise connected with it.
That the railroad is, however. favor
able to the undertaking ~ believed in-
dieated in the fact that Mr.. Creager
who is special legal counsel for the
| Missouri Pacific, especially in Mexican
matters Of the railroad, il heading the
project. This is believed in some quar-
ters to- forecast early use strictly for
| train purposes of the present interna-
I tionaI bridge by the Missouri Pacific.
| The bridge, it is pointed out, is too
narrow to accommodate both rail and
vehicuIar traffic. When trains are
using it, the bridge is virtually closed
to all other traffic.
Work to Start Soon.
| Mr.. Betanza is associated with Mr..
Creager in the conduct of an investment
| business in Mexico City under the firm
name of Creager & Betanza. He was
| formerly a resident of Brownsville. and
\ for several years owned and conducted
the Santa Domingo ranch property, in
Starr county. He left Mexico during
| the Madero revolution because or the
political situation. Since returning to
Mexico about a year ago he has become
interested in numerous enterprises, and
| is also heavily interested in Ell Demo
crata, one of the leading daily news
papers of Mexico City.
1t was stated here today that con-
struction of the bridge will start inn
| mediately permission is granted by
congress. 1t will be adequate to the
| needs of the cities Of Brownsville and
Matamoros, will be of heavy construe-
tion and because of the navigation
treaty between the two countries, will
necessarily have to have a draw. This,
it was stated. may interfere with max
ing it an all-concrete bridge.
Il Construction Of the bridge, il was also
stated, is part of a plan looking to the
construction Of modern highway from
Matamoros to Victoria, capital OF
Tamaulipas, to a connection with the
Mexico City-Laredo highway. which IL
now under construction.

Life's Hurdle
By L. E. Bisch

Every thought you have ever had,
every action you have ever perform
ed, every experience that has ever oc-
CURED to you--all is tucked away in
your underneath mind, the uncon-
scious.
Likewise every thought, action and
experience that the future holds in
store for you will also be packed away
in your unconscious mind.
The human mind never really for
gets anything.
There are many things which you
may be unable to recall readily be-
cause, having served their purpose in
your life, they naturally fade out of
your unconscious-because you have
no longer any immediate use for them.
But the vital truth that you must
never forget is that all your expert
ences are still part of you.
The memory pictures stored up in
your mind-all of them-have untold
power to lessen your energy and to de-
crease your efficiency if you make
an unwise or harmful use of them.
Therefore learn to let every expert
ence become a part of your person
atty in a beneficial and upbuilding
way.
When you are no longer able to re-
call an occurrence at will, it has al
ready become a part Of the deeper re-
cesses Of your unconscious mind.
Therefore do not clog that under
meath mind with destructive thoughts.
Fill that unconscious of yours with
helpful, stimulating and invigorating
ideas.
Begin today the business of stor-
ing your mental cellar with the re-
suits Of sane, wholesome thoughts.
Every problem you solve, every sue
cess you achieve makes for mental
strength.
Every strong decision you reach
becomes a constructive influence for
the rest Of your life.
On the other hand, II your past is
weakening you, you can think back to
its main occurrences and by thus re-
lieving them in your mind, by re-
leasing them from the unconscious,
as it were-you can deprive them Of
all future power to hurt you.
BE the efficiency engineer of your
own mindi
Always face facts squarely, honest
ly and unflinchingly.
Make your mental experiences up
building instead Of destructive.
Keep your mind changing always
for che betteri

One of the most important Of all the
duties of the mother is to see that her
baby is properly nourished. 1t isn't
enough to make sure the little stomach
is filled. The vital thing is to fill
the stomach with food of such quality
as to guarantee the health and growth
of the child.
1t is a common thing to observe q
baby plainly undernourished. 1t
makes no difference whether it is a
bottle-fed or breast-fed infant. there
may be dangerous undertaking of the
essentials.
A mother cannot supply her infant
with milk Of the right quality unless
she herself is properly and sufficient
ly fed. If the breast-fed baby is not
thriving, the first thing to find out
about is the health and norishment Of
the mother.
Scanty diet for the mother means
scanty diet for the baby. Without suf-
ficient food the milk will be thin and
scanty. An overworked mother canont
be expected to supply the necessary
food Her surplus is absorbed by her
over-activity.

to the baby is not enough. 1t is usual

where there is a nursing baby, every
other member Of the household should
be thoughtful and considerable of the
mother. She must be guarded and
spared. SO far as worry can be tax.

Common humanity should teach this
lesson.
If these things have been overlooked,

When Roger w. Babson speaks he
is listened to by bald,headed old bust
ness men, because he has demonstrat-
ed that he has his feet on the ground.
He has shown that his ideas are
backed up by keen common sense and
practical observation.
He has made good himself and is
not merely an airy idealist removed
from life who has done nothing him
self.
Yet this is Babson's advice on how
to buy bonds:
"Tbe surest way" he says, ito Sc
lect securities in which to invest per-
manently is to follow Jesus principles
Of forgetting self and consider the
service that ones money is to rem
der"
This Is Christianity applied to
everyday business. And incidentally
it is sound common sense, for the
thing that gives the most service is
most permanently in demand, and
what is most permanently in demand
is the best investment.
An interesting half hour can be
spent each Monday morning in read
ing over the morning papers the in
spring and spectacular statements

You can almost always find state

those with which you are heartily in
accord.
One man declares the only way the
church can "regain the power in the
world it once held' is by devoting all
its thought and energy to the life TO
come. The mission Of religion, he
says, is not to aid in this life, but to
prepare for the future life.
In contradiction another minister
says what the church needs Is relig
ious Ben franklin. Religion, he says

UNDERNOURISHED BABIES
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator From New York.
Former Commissioner Of Health. New York City.

will be followed by greater considera-
ton for the mother.
The appearance of the mother does
not tell the whole story. The mother
may seem well and robust. She may
be full.busted and give every outward
sign of efficiency. In spite of this
the quality and quantity of her milk
may be so below par as to endanger
the welfare of the baby.
If the milk is good and ample in
quantity, the infant draws at the
breast for ten or fifteen minutes. He
goes about his work quietly and con-
tentedly. At the end of the period
he drops the nipple and falls asleep.
He gives every evidence Of perfect con.
tent.
This is not the case with an under
nourished child. He is fretful and i'm
patient. He will drop the nipple and
cry. Ee does not fall asleep as the
well-fed child does.
The baby getting q full supply OF
milk may have it overflow and tricklo
from his mouth. On opening the
mouth there is lots Of milk there. IL
the milk supply is low, the mouth
shows little or no milk.
In the last analysis the baby is the
test of the quality and supply Of the
milk. If the baby is good natured,
il he gains weight, If he looks well
nourished, then you may be confident
everything is as it should be.
Don't fail to have a pair of scales
in the house. Use them regularly anil
keep track of the changes in weight.
There is no better way to prove that
things are all right.

Great Circles
By Garrett P. Serviss.

The shortest course between any
two points on the earth's surface is
along a great circle of the globe run
ming through those points. A great
circle" means a circle whose plane
cuts through the center of the globe.
The equator is the only great circle
of latitude, all of the others being
small circles" because their planes
cut the earth's axis either north or
south of the center.
But every meridian of longitude is
a great circle. These statements will
appear evidently true to you if you
will carefully examine a good globe of
the earth-which contains more in
formation of that kind than a thou
sand books. Geographical teaching
that is not based on a globe is almost
valueless.
Now, the great circle of the globe on
which New York and Liverpool lie
takes a course which would probably
surprise you If laid out on an ordinary
map.
1t starts at New York, in about 40
degrees, AZ minutes north latitude,
runs in a northeasterly direction, near
ly over Boston, skirts along north Of
Nova Scotia, crosses the northwestern
part of Newfoundland, still bears, but
at a decreasing rate northward, until
past the middle of the north Atlantic
it attains about the same latitude as
that of the Great Whale River which
empties into Hudson Bay, above lati-
tude So degrees. Then it begins to
trend slowly southwark, crosses north
ern Ireland and 20 reaches Liverpool
in latitude SO degrees, "a minutes
north.
"Great circle sailing" known to all
navigators, is based upon this property
Of all circles whose planes cut the CEN
ter Of the globe. But owing to the ir-
regularities Of coast lines and other
causes seamen cannot always keep
upon a great circle. However, it is
open to round-the-world airmen to
follow great circles, IL they can.
If two places lie IN the same longi-
tude the shortest distance between
them is the meridian that connects
them. But this is BY no means true
10 two places that lie in the same
latitude, unless they happen to be on
the equator. For instance, take New
York and Pekin, the arc Of distance
between them crosses the Arctic Sea
within less than ten degrees Of the
north pole and passes near the "pole
Of greatest cold" in Northeastern 81
IBERIA.
The "world-lines7 Of the Einstein-
ians are of the same nature as the
great circles Of gsographers; they
form the shortest distance between two
points, or events" in their Aladdin
like world Of curved "spaee-tlme."

Practical Religion

to earth, and make it positive, vital
belief.
"There is enough religion in the
world to solve our social, industrial
and racial problems il we will but
make it practicable and workable"
The words of the latter speaker are
much more congeDnl to the writer's
mind than those of the former.
Here is a real, worthwhile job
making religion workable.
Religion should not be confined to
unhappy gloom, talking in lowered
tones of death and Resurrection Day.
1t should be applied in making the
world and this life better now.
And for this purpose one Babson,
who acts as a religious Ben Franklin
bringing religion into practical life
and making its principles workable IS
doing more good than any number oil

Of their natures by hiding the prop
