PHARMACIST rs
To GATHER
IN s. A.
Texas Druggists to Meet
Here for Two-day
Convention.

Emphasis will be placed on the fact
that pharmacists are professional
rather than tradesmen, when state
druggists gather here Tuesday for
their two-day convention, according
to w. II. Whisenant.
Mr.. Whisenant was one of a com
mittee which recently completed a
scientific study of the practice OF
pharmacy.
Among the other points which will
be discussed" he said, is the service
the pharmacist can, as a source of
information, give laymen. The lay
man has easy access to the druggist at
any time, and when the druggist is
well trained he can disseminate a
wide range Of miscellaneous scientific
information.
Conspicuous among the duties of
the pharmacist is the group whicE
deals with public health. A well-in-
formed pharmacist is the best single
individual to disseminate information
about public health"
San Antonio druggists predict
most successful convention here.

MALONE SCOUTS
IDEA Of WAR
IN AIR
Infantry Always the Ulti-
mate Factor, He Says
in Address.

Wars Of the future as in the past
will be decided by the doughboy with
bullet and bayonet and not by air
planes, Brigadier General Paul b
Malone, commander of the Second Di-
vision and Fort Sam Houston, de-
clared in an address 10 the Conopus
Club at noon Friday.
The airplane, he believes, is val
liable auxiliary arm but can never win
a war BY itself.
-In less than % years General
Malone said during his address, "the
Air Service has developed into a
recognized branch of the service.
Attitude. speed and endurance
tests beyond belief have been accom-
plished.
The round-the-vorld flight was
made and the flight across the ocean
10 Honolulu almost succeeded.
"Airplanes have demonstrated that
they can sink submarines and battle
ships.
MOhE ts -NELDLD.
IAN these accomplishments might
lead to the conclusion that future
wars will be settled in the air, but
such is not the case.
"When wars occur in the future.
airplanes will be the first TO cross
frontiers. They will bomb and de-
stroy towns and drench towns with |
poisonous gases. They will destroy |
wharves and sink shipping.
But experience of the World War
proved that despite all these forms Of
destruction war was not terminated.
France had a zone 800 miles IN
length and 80 miles deep in some
places literally destroyed.
But France didn't appeal for
peace.
-Neither will America.

ON FLYING
Ace Favors Measure Com
pelling 3 Motors in
Passenger Planes.
By FRANK BOGART


Universal Service staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Captain
Edward V. Rickenbacker's announced
intention Of working in the next Con-
sress for legislation compelling all air
planes serving as common carriers
that Is, carrying passengers between
fixed points at stated rates-to be
equipped with three engines, has been
hailed by most aviation supporters as
the solution of the problem of how to
get Americans into the air.
Following upon the heels of the
production, after seven years of Sc
cret and unceasing effort. of the new
Rickenbacker aircraft motor. a five
cylinder. radical. air-cooled engine
with less parts than the simplest au-
tomobile engine, weighing only 160
pounds, the Detroit motor executive
and former war ace is now fully
launched upon his campaign to make
it possible for everyone to fly and
fly in safety, whether he be passen-
ger or pilot.
SHOWN AT RACES.
The E;ckenbacker motor was first
shown here to the throngs attending
the international air races at Mitchell
Field. A feature of its unwilling was
the meeting of two of aviation's out
standing figures, who have been at
swords points, Colonel William Mitch
ell and Admiral William A. Moffett,
chief of naval aeronautics, who was
recently smarting under Mitchelrs /
castigation of the conduct of naval
aviation. Moffett and Mitchell shook
hands across the engine as they prais-
ed Rickenbacker for his achievement.
The same night Rickenbacker pre-
sented at the annual banquet of the
National Aeronautical Association his
program for national legislation OF
three-motored aircraft. 1t has now
been universally admitted that the fac
tor OF safety is at a maximum with
three engines and Rickenbacker, with
his light and cheap engine. which will
be in production after January l in
any quantity that may be desired, has
paved the way for such
legislation and its ultimate adoption
and enforcement.

Motor Company. which has been striv-
ng ever since Henry Ford went into
