British Actually Use
Flying Machines
Invented By
Americans
Copyright. 1896.

~ REAT BRITAIN has not merely PLANNED, but is
r actually BUILDING at this moment, an immense
- airport drawings for which are shown at the top
of this page today The British got their lesson during
the World War. They saw women and children OF Hull
running out and hiding in the fields shvering all night
at the sound of German Zeppelin They know that air
attack unless instantly with fighting force in the
air would be fatal to any great city-and they MEAN
TO BE READY.
In this country instead of getting ready our gov
eminent is content with such negative gestures as put
ting on trial Colonel Mitchell man of courage, skill
and experience for the "crme" of telling the truth
about our miserable and incompetently managed air
craft.
Look at this proof of British enterprise and then
ask yourself what your country is doing or rather NOT
DOING, and also what is the matter with that dearly
beloved country of ours % ~.~
Are we stuffed so full of the worlds gold, so
choked with prosperity, that cannot THINK or look
ahead?
Have we lost the enterprise that distinguished
the American people, causing this country to produce
the steamboat flying machine telephone and to perfect
and bring to its highest development the automobile?
What is the matter with us, anyhow?
If the government will not build airport, as it
should do on Governors Island, wiping out the golf
course and polo field with which army men amuse them
selves there then the great city of New York should
build an airport for itself.
Remember what Abraham Lincoln once said to the
delegation of rich New York merchants who went to
Washington and demanded special battleshp during
the War Between the States to protect their city from
British and other privateers.
President Lincoln listened patiently and then told
the New York bankers and others: Gentlemen, If
were you and if had much money to protect as you
saw YOU have WOULD BUILD BATTLESHIP AND
PROTECT MYSELF"
If the government won't do it, the city Of New York
and other great and rich cities like Boston, Chicago Los
ANGELES San Francisco and dozen ought to tax
themselves and build their airports and provide
their own flying machines.
The right flying machine protection might cost such
city as Los Angeles San Francisco S1OOOOo,oOo;
but go
An attack by air machines finding a rich city with
OUT ADEQUATE protection would cost that city SEVERAL
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN HALF AN HOUR

Old Nick.

sold Nick is one of the numerous

According 70 some authorities, "old

Modern Princes

" RINCE CAROL of Roumania may be suited to
monogamy he may not Princes have no chance
l. to show whether they or not, because they
are usually married for other than those which
move the average young and young woman.
Once this seemed inevitable, reasons of State were
so serious. Now that king is usually a convenient
center around which government revolves it would
seem if the time here to break down the idea
that prince princess is pawn in diplomacy.
If the Prince of Wales should marry girl from
Lancaster or Montreal the British empire would be
safe If he married Swedish or Balkan princess.

Finding Kindly News

ute whiei he rescued young bird that
had fluttered from a nest to the pave
ment, bat was unable to fly.
In Providence, Il. l., a man who had
lost his wife and three grandchildren
in the Mackinac disaster last August
returned a check for $500 to the Red
Cross, saying: "Othcrs need it more
than l."
A patrolman making his rounds on
ire East Side in New York warned
two men who were arguing in loud
tones on a street corner late ut night.
When he returned they were still
shouting Mt each other, SO he locked
them both up. The next morning they
were arraigucd for disorderly conduct,
the case was continued and bail fixed
at sos. The day before had been
rent day and one Of the men had no
money. If he stayed away from work
he would lose his Job and his seven
children would go hungry. The officer
sadly shook his head, reached into his
own pocket and gave the clerk s25 to
release the prisoner.
As you read the news each day keep
your eyes open for the little revealing
glimpscs Of the noble and the loyal
and the kind in human nature that tho
items often show.
