Europe calls him, will continue Is long
Is uncle will lend.
The wise American will invest in
America.
A new flying machine promises to
revolutionize flying, with tho aid of
DIR. Wagner. German engineer. A
counter propeller for airships. similar
TO ono successfully used on stcam-
ships. is to be tried by our navy.
1t is certain that. with time. flying
will change completely from present
methods.
Tcday's airplant is merely an imi-
tation Of flying bird. Man does not
limit himself to initiating nature, nc
goes far beyond what nature can do.
The locomotive is not an imitation

bullet is no imitation Of tigers

/ Secretary Wilbur submits to Pres
ident Coolidge plans for $4,000. 900
Il aerial cruiser.
Gradually, perhaps. this country
will acquire an air fleet. But what
VIC need is airships. not experiments.
Plenty Of ships as good as the one
that took Commander Byrd to the
north pole can be bought for $4,000
each. or half that price in quantity
production. Why not get 5000 Of
them. to start with?
Col. Ned ". Green, prohibition en-
forccmcnt official on the Pacific
Coast. does not believe in carrying
things to extremes. according to uni
vcrsal service. Professionally he be-
licvcs in prohibition, personally he
0bcys the Bible. which tells US:
"Drink no longer water. but use y
little wine for thy stomach's sake. and
thine often infirmitics.'
Colonel Green. admitting that he
keeps things stronger than wine and
gives them to his friends, says he
drinks moderately. Nevertheless. he
is suspended rs Pacific Coast prohibit
ton administ rator.
That seems hard. 1t is admitted
that strict prohibition is intended for
the lower classes. those that lack
"thc price," Colonel Green does not
belong to those lower classes. The
next step might be to Yorcc total alb

and caused many deaths. President
Coolidge and the secretary Of the
navy may be interested in u letter
from Mr.. VI. +. F. Of Milwaukee. who
calls attention to the unprotected
| situation at our naval oil storage base
at Pearl Harbor.
"Cpon my last visit there ! noticed
that these tremendous oil tanks were
/ entirely unprotected against light

Monterey Preside. lightning struck
large oil reservoirs and the result was
extremely disastrous fire"
Where gigantic losses. and many
| lives arc Ut stake, the government
should consult scientists, instead Of
I trusting 10 luck.
| Recently President Coolidge and
Gov. Al Smith Of New York. who may
run against each other in 1923 for
the presidency, went each TO his
church. ono around tho corner from
the other, in the little town Of Paul
Smiths. in tho Adir0ndacks.
The president went to tho First
Presbyterian church, the governor and
Mrs. Smith to St. Barnabas's Catholic
church.
1t is to be hoped that as tho two
churches. Protestant and Catholic
stand peacefully side by side. 50
politicians Of all parties will peace
ably refrain from dragging religion

country. where no religion is official
