aviation under the Stars and Stripes.
Already public sentiment North East South and West
has handed down a verdict in his favor.
Now Colonel Mitchell is to be tried by court martial be-

regarding aviation as the epchd of the Army and Navy
instead of welcoming it into household Of National De-
tense as the youngest member Of the family.
Colonel Mchels main charges regarding the abuse OF
aviation have been substantiated before President Coodge
Air Board by many.
Colonel Mchels major recommendations for the reor
psnizaton of our Defense system have not only been
Endorsed in principle by Major General Patrick and
majority of the flying the Army who have been
called as witnesses by Air Board but also commended to
the attention Of the President by the American Legion in ma
tional convention assembled at Omaha.
Nevertheless Mitchell goes trial today because
he dared to his fellow citizens Of the United States the

attitude. The father wished to
be sure Of his relationship to the
child before he would guarantee
to support 1t. And the tribe also
wished to be sure of that rela-
tionship, that it might justly
force him to support it. So it
came to pass that both man and
society demanded chastity Of the
woman, and visited heavier
punishment on her than on the
man when she violated that law.
Unfair as that seems, 1t served

Yet you think that some day
this taboo will be abolished and
we will have but one code for
both men and women. I disagree
with you. 1 think the discrim
nation between the sexes goes
deeper than our social necessity.
1t goes back to the natural law
which governs the brute.
Sex, for. the male brute, is a
passing incident. But for the
female brute it implies a whole
cycle of service-mating, gesta-
ton and the care of the young
after birth. Sex is a much more
serious proposition to her than to
the male. 1t involves more of
her own life-it means more to
the herd or the pack.
We are no longer brutes, we
have spiritual hunger of which
the brute knows nothing. But
the old natural law still holds.
THE MALE is STILL MORE
FREE THAN THE FEMALE
That's why she must pay more
heavily than he when she makes
light Of that which is her great
est responsibility. You may call
that a natural injustice. Or you
may call it a sacred conservation.
That's up to you. But in either
case, there, 1t 10 and there's no
