as "old.fashioned and inadequate .

action in this matter Is entirely
reverse from the campaigns recent
ly launched by various State AMI
community organizations. 1t is
the popular opinion that speed
should be retarded. The State of
Indiana, however. is one of the
first to take steps toward solving
the traffic problem which is be-
coming acute.
Cords Suggestions
Cord set forth a fixed group of
laws which he believes should be
rigidly enforced and which would
be uniform laws in every section of
the country. They are as follows:
Drivers entering highways from
side streets must stop. Slower
traffic must stay closer to the
roadside. ANY motorist found in
capable OF driving under these
regulations should be stopped and
examined, IL found inexperienced or
otherwise incapable. he should be
prohibited from driving. Cars in
unsafe condition should be barred
from the streets.
I recommend that instead Of
trying to retard progress: instead
OF hampering the fulT use of motor
cars and getting the utmost value
rom their time-saving facilities,
that We release motor car owners
from these old.fashioned, inadequate
restrictions.
AS people grow, expand, and
change, their laws must be kept I'D
to date. Main arteries, such as
Michigan Avenue in Chicago should
be free streets for fast driving. Driv-
ers should be educated to respect
these right-of-ways just the same

The latest proof of these interest.

CHASTITY peril to the nation whose in

zles that one gets dizzy in trying to

continued and absolute mastery of the

none of those suppositions is correct.
But ,,hatever may have been the
cause of their doing that thing, the
fact is that they did do 1t. Before the
World War our Navy and merchant
marine were far inferior to the Brit
ish. But the exigencies of the war,
and especially the so-called 1915 Navy
program. which the general board of
the Navy designed in 1914 and 1915,
had brought the American Navy and
merchant marine into a position of

ing platforms, trembling under the
conclusions of their own guns and
the impacts of the projectiles of the
enemy.
The situation will be ideal for the
use of airplanes by the japanese, but
of the maximum difficulty for our
fleet. The airplane is "A weapon OF
enormous scope and power when used
under conditions that enable 1t to
reach the point where IL can discharge
its bomb or torpedo; but the excessive
fragility of the plane itself, its com
paratively short radius of action, the
extreme susceptibility to disadJust-
ment of its engines and the demand
the plane continually makes on the
aviator for instantaneous decisions
that must always be correct, makes
the launching of airplanes from mov-
ing and rolling ships under fire I'M
measurably more difficult than from
the stable and comparatively tranquil
precincts of an airdrome.
But even this handicap is hardly as
important as that of comparative in
sufficiency in numbers, for how could
an American fleet possibly carry and
operate as many airplanes as Japan
could operate from shore, supple
mented by those on her ships?
This brings to mind the deciara'
tions of certain people that the air.

plane will supplant the battleship.
AS we'll might the mosquito be eX-
pected to supplant the elephant. In
case the airplane is ever developed
into a vessel that can Withstand a
hurricane and be relied on to go
from San Francisco to the Philip
pines under it's own power, this pos
sibility may then be reasonably en-
tertained-but not until then, and
there is no promise of this now:
Hard battles were fought all over the
North and South Pacific and Atlantic
Oceans in the last war and will be
fought similarly in the next war.
The mighty ocean itself is the battle
field of nayies.
This does not mean that aircraft
do not constitute q vital part OF
every navy. 1t only means that air.
craft do not constitute the whole
show. The fact that every fleet
needs a stationary base on solid land
has it's counterpart in the fact that

planes, need a moving base on the
relatively solid battleships.

unless one realizes that the expense
to her will be comparatively micro.
scopic, as her policy need be purely
defensive and largely Fabian. Our
fleets situation will be much worse
than was Hannibal's in Italy.
Furthermore, it Is essential to
realize that during all the time when
our fleet is trying to fight near Asia
all our trade routes, both near ouI
coasts and in distant seas, will be
helpless against the warships which
any nation may send there to prey
on our commerce and even to attack
our coasts. Is it reasonable to expect
that our debtor nations are going to
neglect this opportunity of declaring
war and forcing the cancellation OF
all their debts to us?

THAT this is the actual strategic
situation there is not shadow

the fortress on little CorregidOr

Our fleet will be in a situation like
the one Dewey's feet was in after
the battle Of Manila Bay, with this
vital difference: When our soldiers
came out some months after Dewey's
battle their transports met no enemy
on the sea en- route, the inefficient
Spanish soldiers opposed no resist

Filpinos assisted us, whereas when
In our next war our Army transports

Japanese submarines and aircraft will
be very busy, and if our soldiers ever
get into a position such that they
can even try to land, an effective
Japanese army will oppose them and
the Filipinos will help their brother
Asiatics.
How long the war will last it Is.
of course, impossible to foretell. That
it will be overwhelmingly to the adj
vantage Of Britain to have it last for
years is very clear. That it will be
tremendously to her advantage to
have us fail Is also clear. To Japan
it might seem disadvantageous. at
first thought, to have it continue long.

SCOTTISH TARTANS.

THE whims of fashion do not touch
national costumes, and of all ma.
tional costumes none is quite as dis.
tinctive and picturesque as that of the
Highlands of Scotland. Although it Is
not generally worn today, it is official
ly recognized as the national dress of
the Highlanders by the English court
and by the British army. 1t consists
Of short tunic, a vest, a kilt heavily
pleated-fastened around the loins and
below which are gartered stockings
and shoes. In front, hanging from a
belt. is a pocket-purse covered with
fur called ''sporran." The costume
is completed by plaid or scarf
which Is wrapped diagonally round
the body, the loose ends hanging down
from the left shoulder. where they are
fastened with a brooch.
One of the most common of errors
in connection with this garb Is the
question What plaid is that?" from
one gazing at a kilt or pair of hose.
OF course the correct answer is that
it is not plaid (which is a garment
and may be of any color or colors).
The questioner means what tartan Is
that?" The Gaelic word is 'breacan."
meaning "checquered." Another al
most universal error into which those
costuming themselves as Highland
gentlemen, or even girls. fall is the in
clusion of high white CATERS. These
are distinctly military and civilian
wears them with no more propriety
than he would a sword-belt.
The distinguishing mark Of this ma
tional costume is the tartan, an ar
rangement of a prevailing color with
narrow checks of other colors. a kind
of heraldry of intersecting colors by
which the various clans may be dis
tinguished. A certain general uni
fornlity of arrangement is symbolic of
the union of the clans into a race.
Variety is secured by notifications in
the width of the stripes and by differ
ing combinations of colors. Moreover,
further change Is made possible by
thin lines of color used as border
on a band of differing color.
Great antiquity is claimed for cer-
tain of these tartans, which served to
distinguish one clan Of Highlanders
from another, for there are recorded
references to these woven woolens as
