SUCCESS OFTEN COMES
TO ONE LATE IN LIFE

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-"Many a
good tune has been played on an old
trumpet" says a New York writer,
who advises that folk should not be
discouraged if they have done but
little at the age Of 50.
He states that Socrates, the
Greek philosopher, learned to play
musical instruments after he had
past 20. That Cato, at 80 took it
into his venerable head TO learn
Greek, and that Henry Spelman,
who lived more recently, became a
great lawyer after starting at so.
Chaucer began his Canterbury
Tales at 81, and finished them when
he was 81.

more to light the white than it now

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Only
Is airplanes fit for combat use
should America suddenly be forced
to go to war.
That's the fighting strength of
the army air service, an official sur
Vey of all the military flying fields
shows.
The remaining equipment is COM
posed of training planes, messenger
planes and obsolete heaps of junk.
Sending one of these obsolete
planes into battle against modern
aircraft would be exactly like a
river steamer going into a naval en-
gagement against a first-class bat
tleship," a high army officer says.
''Tt wouldn't even have a ghost of
a chance"
The following data relative to
equipment at the various fields is
taken from War Department rec
ords:
At Brooks Field, Tex, are so
training planes for "green" student
flyers, and at Kelly Field, nearby,
81 training planes for more ad-
vanced students.
These can be used for training
purposes only.
Mitchell Field, L. l., has 80 planes
All of them were built during the
war and are now obsolete
The fifty planes at Langley Field,
Va, include Is obsolete wartime
Martins and 35 training planes of
various types. Of the latter, one is
new up-to-date Looming amphi-
bian. The others are old and worn
out.
At SeEfridge Field, Mich, there
are 40 pursuit planes. Of these
IS are modern, first-class Curtis
and Boeing planes. The rest are
Thomas Morse planes, which are not
battle planes.
At Boiling Field, near Washing
ton, there are IL old DeHavilands,
three of which have been rebuilt
two Sperry messengers; and one
small Vought training plane.
Rockwell Field, near San Diego,
has six old DeHavilands.
That sums up Americas flying
strength now in commission.
McCook Field, near Dayton, o.,
is simply an experimental station.
An army air service headquarters
officer, who for obvious reasons re-
quested that his name be withheld,
summed up the condition of the
country's air forces as follows:
General Mitchell stated that we
have only 10 planes fit for combat
use.
"When he made that statement
about a year ago, it was undoubted-
ly true.
"Of the 10 planes he referred to,
knc-v that at least four have
crashed and are now out of commits
sion.
"Our entire combat strength in
| the air is represented by the Is
Curtis and Boeing pursuit planes al
Selridge Field-and there may not
be that many now.
"The only other ''u-to-date plane
we have is the Looming amphibian.
"The old planes, built during the
war, are obsolete and absolutely
unfit for combat.
''Some of these are known as
claiming collins" They have caus'
ed the death of many good flyer
And yet we go on buying them'
"The training planes and mes
senger planes serve their purpose
we'll enough, but of course these are
not combat planes.
"Besides the planes now in USE
there are a number of planes in
storage. These ( however, are all
old wartime models, now entirely
obsolete.
Secretary Weeks has stated that
we could put 1900 planes in the all
in a pinch. Counting all the train
ing planes and the planes in stor
age, we probably could
"But we have Is, not 1900. first
class fighting planes"

FIREMAN's STORY

j. M. Cooper, Of Atlanta, fire
man on the north bound train, who
jumped before the crash and suf-
fered only minor injuries, told the
following story
81 was coaling and Handy of
Smyrna, Ga, was at the throttle. [
could not say just how fast we were
going, but think it was pretty
fast. We rounded the curve and I
heard Handy cry out Lord oe
