 The aviation report of the nation al defense committee of the Ameri- can Legion presented todays scs- sion of the Legion convention called for the consolidation of all branches of national defense into one depart mcnt with secretaries for each branch including aviation. IL pre- cipltated spirited fight.
 Former Brigadier General Will liam Mitchell, long the stormy center of the American aviation service, was the man who set the fireworks going and for some min utes feeling ran high and angry words scared until finally upon the motion Of Iegionnairc Gilligan of Ohio, Mitchell's remarks were stricken from the record.
 An attempt to obtain a vote, viva Noce, proved an utter failure several times and q roll call was the result. An amendment to the report was finally defeated by 622 10 o99 and the report was adopted. Several states split on the roll call and some changed sides during it.
 General Mitchell asking for the adoption of the resolution without amendment shouted: "A depart mcnt of aviation at once under q direct cabinet officer is what is wanted"
 The former air chief speaking with his usual spirit, asserted that while Europe was honeycombed with q network Of so-called com mercial air lines which from night 10 morning may be turned in 10 military weapons. the United States has been standing still.

BINGHAM ADMITS SMITH IS MENACE
But Sees t. Q. p. Chances Good
 if Coolidge Would Run
OTHERWISE ONLY 5O-50

cratic Leader Will Give Any Re
 publican Except Executive Great
 Battle
 Salem, Sept 2l (rP)--The repub- !ican party will have " fifty fifty chance" of electing its candidate in 1928 if Governor Alfred F. Smith Is the opponent of any man except Calvin Coolidge, Senator Hiram Bingham told the United Press here today.
 Withdrawal from the race of VII liam G. McAdoo, he said had great ly strengthened MCAdoo's position and had left him free to oppose the nomination of Smith without criti- cism on the ground that such op- position was based on his desire to b" the democratic nominee.
 q believe that Smith will give any republican except Coolidge great battle" Bingham said. T don't think he could defeat Coolidge but the result would be fifty-fifty if he faced any other man"
 Bingham is vacationing at his summer home here following his re- cent trip through China and the Philippines.
 MT. Coolidge, fin the opinion Of Connecticut's junior senator, will accept the nomination in 1928 be- cause he is too big a man to de- scrt his party In time of need and too good an American not to heed the call of his countrymen."
 Strong fin Connecticut
 Discussing the political outlook in New England. Bingham said
 There is no doubt that Smith has q strong following in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. Tn those three states he would give the republicans all the competition they want
 'In Massachusetts he would have the advantage Of running on the same wave of popularity as Senator Walsh. and We saw what Walsh could do when he defeated the presi- dents personal choice.
 "I cannot think of q stronger man than Smith in the democratic party.
 "MCAdoo, In withdrawing from f 1, l1 pt f1o l,te faction. He is now able to oppose Smith without being accused of in- tecting personal ambition into the opposition.
 "As citizen with no political aims for himself he will be far more powerful than if he were to attempt to gain the democratic nomination.
 The wet issue will be of far greater importance than religion in the 1928 campaign, in Bingham's opinion.
 If I'm not mistaken" he said. "the south has long been dry. with avowcd wet inclina- tions, to my mind, would lose more votes than one whose religion did not suit the public"
 Asked if he believed the so-called third term" issue would hurt Mir. Coolidgc's chances In the event the president decided to seek reelection, the senator said:
 "He will lose votes. but I don't be- leve it will make serious inroads into his chances of election.
 Define Coolidge "Choicc"
 "Whcn Coolidge said, I do not he meant that he did not want to run for president. That is a New England way Of saying want But until he comes out with the flat run for president I'm for him and footed declaration that I will not I believe that the majority of people in this country want him to run again.
 If he doesn't run, 1t will de- pend entirely upon the Calibrc Of the man tn" republicans put up as to whether they will win the fight"

THE DRUNKEN DRIVER

Announcement is made from Sacramento that in
structions have heen given to traffic squads through
out the state to show mercy to those who drive
automobiles while in an intoxicated condition.
While it is difficult to decide just when man is
intoxicated and when he is quite at that stage, he
certainly is intoxicated when he is unable to control
his The is true, he is unable control
his when he is intoxicated
= Unfortunately the public has not yet been educat-
ed to the pCit where it considers one who drives car
while intoxicated the category with the burg
lar, the hod-up man or the murderer. Yet he is just
as much criminal. A who sits behind the wheel
of car when he is not in full possession of his facul
ties, is potential murderer the same as though he
prowled along the street with gun in his hand, look
ing for chance to use it with another human being
his target.
There is altogether too much driving of cars by
intoxicated persons in Imperial county and too much
leniency shown those who arrested this charge.
The state law makes driving while intoxicated
felony, high nnisdemeanor. If found guilty the
drunken driver be sent to prison for than
three years to the county jail for not less than 90
days than one year.
Fines do little 10 help stamp out the drunken driv
er menace. One or two prison sentences, and few
jail Sentences would do much to convince drivers that
they must obey the law
Because Of close proximity to the border, Imper
al county will doubtless always have many cases of
this sort to deal with The traffic officers and the
courts should not lie lax in imposing the pen
atty on those convicted and they should have the sup
port of all good citizens.
If the drunken driver were only menace to him
self he would not be worth bohering about, but he
dangers the lives of countless others who must the
same highways. Therein lies the reason he should
have the condemnation OF the aw-abiding element
1t will require firmness on the part of traffic of
fcers and the counts to punish the guilty Mistaken
friends of the latter often their influence to have
lesser charge filed against the accused seek len
iency for him when he appears for trial. A good c
will not attempt to halt the course of justice by
intervening in such case.
There is absolutely no excuse for the drunken
driver and the sooner the public accepts him his face
value-a crimnal-the sooner will he be punished as
he deserves and in this way alone can progress be made
toward eliminating him altogether.

which was now over his knees,
Uncle Wiggily saw bunch of sea
weed appear in the hole the Saw
Fish had made. Then the rabbit
daddy cried.
"Bail, boys. Pail for your lives! :
All three began to toss the water
overheard The tub grew lighter
and rdse higher on the waves. The
turtle beneath it held the seaweed
plug in place with his broad back
and. by Hopping his flippers he
helped push the tub toward shore.
When all the water had been
bailed out Uncle Wiggily and the
two boys began to use their wooden
paddles and soon they came close
to shore and were saved. The Sword
and Saw Fishes could not get at the
turtle to harm him because of his
Trick shell. and they dared not fol
low the tub into shallow water for
fear of getting stuck on sand bar.
So the bunny and his two little
boys were saved, and they thanked
the turtle heartily. And if the pussy

AN END TO STUNT FLIGHTS

More than week after the tragic conclusion of
the Dole air naval officials saying that some
step must be taken by the federal government to pre-
vent future loss of lives in long distance stunt flight
1t is growing apparent that the thrill of the
took precedence reasonable caution and thorough
preparation.
OF the three flights from New York to Europe
only Lindbergh's genuinely successful. Byrd's
and CkamherlIn's met with serious difficulties. The
size of the European continent, which their
get, and the very great skill of the aviators enabled
them to land without loss Of life limb.
OF the two flights to Hawaii earlier in the
mer perfect success In the other the plane
was wrecked IL a lonely spot of the islands of
the Hawaiian group, not the island aimed at.
There have been plenty Of noteworthy successes
to stimulate confidence in and enthusiasm for flying
There have also been plenty Of failures to emphasize
the fact that neither planes mans mastery of the
air and knowledge of the art of flying yet perfect
1t is ali right TO encourage flights to offer prizes
for special achievement But in every such there
should be the fullest study of conditions the most rigid
requirement for safety and thorough inspection of
planes Needless loss Of life will do the cause of navi-
cation great harm.

MAYBE if we padded hard we

Lets try! = cried Bumper. But
even as they. padded, the washtub
sank lower and lower in the sen I'M
til the water was almost coming in
over the edge. And just then, when
Uncle Wiggi1y was almost ready 70
give up, there came swimming along
side of the tub the, big sea turtle
who, some time J before, had given
the little rabbits many rides on his
broad, shelly back.
"What 5 the matter''' asked the
Turtle. 1.-.
"sThe Saw Fish made hole in our
. boat and we are sinking. , cried
Uncle Wiggily.

turtle. "Now listen carefully, for

bottom of your tub, and, L will plug

Then / will swim along beneath IT

back. As soon as You see that the
! hole is plugged, began to bail the
water out of your tub. Throw the
water overheard. Your boat will
then float higher and you can pad

But we have no pals with which
to bail out the water,' said Bum
per. =.
"Unlee Wiggily has his tall silk
hat, and you boys have your caps,
! croaked the turtle. "They will dc
nicely. Now l am going to dive un

So saving the turtle sank beneath
the waves. \ little later, looking
