A Blow to Aviation.


From Rapid City, S. Oak, comes
word that President Coolidge is op-
posed, supposedly on the grounds of
economy, to the Navy turning over a
fast cruiser to enable Lieut.. AL Will
liams and his crack racing plane to
reach Italy In time for the blue rib
bon event of aviation, the Schneider
Cup races. This unofficial statement
is a severe blow to. Williams hopes
and those of the American people who
are interested in the development Of
aviation and who have that pride of
conquest which goes with possession
Of major flying records
Williams has done everything that
Is humanity possible to assure Ameri-
can representation in the Italian
races. When the Government with
drew from racing plane development,
and. consequently, participation in the
Schneider event, Williams, who is
rated as one of the best speed pilots
in the Navy. sought to interest pri-
vate capital in the overseas venture.
He succeeded, and a special plane was
built for him, but, due to unavoidable
delays in trial flights, there is now
no prospect that he will be able to
reach Venice in time to take off in
competition with the tiny craft of
England and Italy.
The races are to be held on the
twenty-fifth of September. The only
ship that will get him there with
enough time for adjustments to his
plane is a Navy cruiser. Commercial
ship sailings do not give him any
margin within which to work, and,
because of the ungracious refusal of
England, the races cannot be post
poned.
It would seem to be apparent that
the President is not apprised Of all
these circumstances. If he is, how
ever. his refusal to lend Navy aid
to venture that will result in incal-
culable benefit to this country Is in
explicable. There is nothing that SO
develops the science of aeronautics
as the testing out. under race condi-
tions, Of powerful motors and delicate
planes.
England and Italy are spending a
great deal Of money in this kind Of
development. England is likewise
sending several cruisers to convey its
planes to Italy. The United States is
interested only to the extent Of lend.
ing two twenty-four -cylindered. twelve
acknowledgements motors,
the first Of their kind ever built, to
Williams, and is willing to do this for
the technical data that he will obtain
on their performances.
When all is said and, done, 1t would
appear that the United States should
not lack initiative in assuring the
representation Of this country, not in
a stunt performance, but in the races,
which cannot fail to be- Of benefit.
The Chief Executive should ponder
this matter carefully before he def
nitely shuts out this Nation from par
ticipation in an event that is calcu-
lated to advance mans knowledge of
the mysteries Of the air.

purpose plays have been chosen which
involve a minimum Of action, but de-

performed for the benefit of the i'm.

scheme are forthcoming, and several
questions arise relating to the effect
upon the audience in the theater.
Will the microphones be in evidence

The opposition of President Cool

views on the long-argued question or
how America shall build up a mer'
chant marine. AS in the past, there Is
a clear division between those VINO

Saving Shoulders

The secret of preventing sore
shoulders of horses is correct fit
ting collars and harness adjust
ments, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The
horses shoulders, which are likely
to become soft because of idleness
in winter, should be given special
attention during the spring fitting
season and up until the muscles
harden. At the beginning OF the
snring work clean the horses shoul-
ders carefully after each days work
and before Harvesting the next NOR
ming. After removing the harness,
wash the shoulders with warm wa
ter and CASTLE soap, then rinse with
cold water with a little salt dis
solved in it. This treatment may be
discontinued at the end of 2 or .
weeks. but careful daily grooming
and cleaning of the collars are al
WAYS necessary. The use of sweat
pads on the collars is not advisable
as they seem to do more harm than
goodd. Persons who use the curry
comb and brush every morning ana
evening usually have least trouble
with sore shoulders when the spring
work starts.
