Greek to the !ayman, but in any event
you can't convince the Navy that a

The aviation squabble is not with
out its humorous side. In all the
breadth of the land you can scarcely
find today an Infantry officer who
served in the A Z. +. willing to
admit that he saw a single friendly
plano during the entire conflict on
the western front. There was one
eternal yelp going up from the
trenches.
Enemy planes are bombing US,
chasing us with machine guns,
making merry with US and otherwise
giving us hell, with never an Amer
lean plane in sight"
The Artillery complained that all
the American flyers wanted to go over
the lines and bring down a German.
None of them wanted to do the
drudgery, but highly important work.
of directing artillery fire against the
enemys most important works.
This was true of every army at the
front. The complaints were exactly
alike. Even the Germans made them.
One German wrote home that the
British planes were flying so low
over the trenches some OF them had
scooped the helmets off the soldiers
heads.
The war proved that it was pos
sible for either side TO get the mas
terry of the air"'for a time at a given
point, but neither Germans nor allies

wide battle front The difficulty of

President Coolidge is not heated up
as yet about the Army and Navy con-
troversy. but at that he is sticking
pretty close to the Navy, or at least
so much of it as is represented by
the presidential yacht Mayflower.
Through all the storm and stress of
the most outrageous Winter Wash
ington has ever known, Mr.. and Mrs.
Coolidge have hardly missed a single
week end down the river" In ex-
tolling the letter carriers recently a
Senator quoted from Herodotus:
Neither rain nor snow nor heat
nor gloom of night stays these cour-
iers from the swift completion OF
their appointed rounds"
Today they are saying the same
thing applies to the Presidents fond

Heard and Seen

When ii comes to persistency, there
are very few men who are in the
same class with the house cat
Dome sticus felis can teach the most
persistent cuss a thing or two When
il comes to that desirable quality.
Children have the necessity OF
sticking to a thing until hnished
drilled into them until they are SICK
of it, but kittens are born to it. When
they grow into cats they are the most
stubborn things in all the world.
Once a cat gets its mind set on
some end. he usually achieves 1t.
You may try to sidetrack him, and
succeed for a time, say by offering
him a tempting bit of flesh, but In
the end he will get what he wants.
If he wants out at night, you might
as well let the beast out, for he Will
meow and in other ways worry you
until you open the back door. The
cat has a single track mind, If any
created thing has.
The most Independent of animals,
the cat will return again and again
to the attack, until he wins out. He
might be taken not only for a statue
of liberty, on account Of his intrepid
independence. but also as model for
persistency on a monument.

"All right, then, down you 60"
Like a bag of meal, Jack was car
ried to the basement steps and de-
posted on the second step from the

Promptly he dashed up, underneath

ried him back and put him on the

He dashed UP, under the cabinet,

Jack Immediately dashed UP the

was becoming q test of endurance.
We started all over again. picked
him up, carried him to the steps.
He dashed UP, under the cabinet,
