LINDBERGH's NEW TASK.

In employing Col Charles A. Lndbergh, making him a member of it's staff and trustee of the Fund the Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics took step which will be of importance to aviation. And Col Lindbergh in foregoing other opportunities for attractive financial considerations, recognizing the chance for advancing aviation, has proved himself sincerely interested in it's progress in America The purpose of the Fund, in the words of President Guggenheim, lis to promote aeronautics in the broadest possible manner and solely for the benefit of the public In such an undertaking which is not founded on any personally selfish motive primarily for making money. Col Lindbergh will find place where he can exercise his talents and capitalize Tor the good of the nation the immense popularity that has come to him from his great exploit in crossing the Atlantic Ocean and as a result of his recent nationwide tour. In popular es- teem he stands alone among other ayiators.
 The fact that the acclaim which has greeted his appearance wherever he has visited since his great flight has not affected him in the slight est that he is still the unassuming, unaffected voung man who took off in the Spirit of St. I,ouis from New York and calmly arrived at Le Hourget Field with letters of introduction which he forehandedly brought along, gives evidence that he is more than aerial adventurer. He has demonstrated he can keep his feet on the ground as we'll as his plane In the air Thus he brings to his new employment something more than d technical knowledge of planes and an ability to fly them. And the first is not less necessary than the latter. Both will be valuable assets to the Guggenheim Fund which is en- deavoring to do work neglected far too long in this country

BoRAH HARDLY CONSISTENT.

Repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment E pra ferable to either modification or violation SD fir as Senator Borah is concerned, he has written the Womens Committee for Repeal. In vew of his pronounced advocacy of the amendment and the volsead Act, his often reiterated de mand that Prohibition be made specific issue in the national elections next year. and his pnb- lie utterances in general Prohibition enforce ment, there seems to be lack of consisten Y in his attitude
 His conviction that Prohibition is national blessing that the Eighteenth Amendment is fundamentally in harmony with the spirit as well as the letter of the rest of the Constitution and the Vostead Act infringement on the personal liberty of the American people be accepted as genuine. There is desire to ques- tion the sincerity of his conviction. But the Sen ator cannot be poorly informed as to believe or claim to believe, that there is not very widespread violation of Prohibition statutes In so far as these violations do so the Eighteenth Amendment by its very nonobservancs is being nui1ed Those charged with enforce ment of the volstead Act freely admit the i'm possibility of preventing violations The records of the courts, from the Commissioners Courts tc District Courts Police Courts, County and State Courts all of them jammed with cases ariss ng directly or indirectly from violations of Pro hibitin laws, bear out their conclusion In this respect Only a few days ago, an official state ment was ssued showing Federal prisons to have the greatest population in their history, very largely attributable to Prohibition.
 Yet says Senator Borah, repeal is preferable to violation or nulifcation. Of course, no one expects the Senator to champion repeal af this time He probably will continue 10 defend Prohibition and demand that it be made an issue in 1928 But if he to decide to be con sistent and direct his course of action on the basis laid down in his letter to the Women $ Committee for Repeal, it would be different story

 This was in repy 10 memorial draw up by 232 members of the British House of Com mons prompted thereto by petitions signed b. nearly 100000 persons. The entire paragraph deserves quoting:
 I am reminded that in the adminis
 tration of government difficulty often
 arises in the attempt to carefully apply
 ideas which in themselves challenge un-
 qualified approval. Thus it may be that
 the friends of international arbitration
 will not be able at once to secure the

 surely great progress should be made by
 sincere and hearty effort. Il promise
 you faithful and careful consideration
 of the matter; and believe may speak
 for the American people in giving the
 assurance that they wish to see the
 killing of men for the accomplishment
 of national ambition abolished, and that
 they will gladly hail the advent of

Aviation Is a Science, Plus.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 Aviation does not suggest merely opportunity for adventure-it is a science, and demands cer- tain abilities of mind and body
 Prof Klemin, head of the Daniel Guggen- helm School of Aeronautcs writing in current magazine of ideas for the general reader. predicts that nlanes will be able to land at thirty instead of fifty miles an hour, and, no matter now uheA- nectedly the engine fails the plane can make steady and safe glide to the ground
 An English inventor claims just to have per fected a stabilizer which makes airplane accident next to impossible and Prof Klemin says that # soon will be possible to> make engine repairs In the air Specifically: we can conceive of a plane with supercharged engine anu an all, tight passenger compartment suitably heated ana supplied with air at normal pressure. flying at 2o mo feet above sea level at 300 miles an hour
 That's some prediction. and should make Colonel Mitchell pat himself on the back anu arouse the average thrifty Congressman 10 the possibilities in airplane development anu to ms duty to the people.
 Navertheless people must learn the science of flying as they learn any other science The trouble is, as Prof Klemin points out' that re gently the general public has been looking al aviation emotionally, but ne sugsests tha' . wave of reaction has set in and that the value lof adventuresome flights is now being questioned. Successful flights have made Lindbergh ana lothers famous and have induced remarhaDie advancement in aerodynamic structure ana motor design and emphasized the importance of know ling weather conditions but ai oi enesc "o'0 very carefully planned , l..
 There are important positions to be filled Tn this new industry and in the institutions where men are to be fitted for the flying pro1esson and in the trades allied with it,
 According to Prof Klemin the flyer must nossess good navigating sense" He must pos sass also flying instinct" Having these in dispensable qualifications he is ready to start l to school'' where he must develop ms work on on | a solid basis of mathematics applied mecnanics and mechanical engineering.

Insect Damages
Red Clover Crop
Root Borers. May Be Killed
by Flowing and Harrow
ing in Summer.

(Prepared by the United states Depart
~ ment of Agriculture.)
Inc clover root borer, which does
extensive damage to red clover wher-
ever that crop is grown, is one of the
principal factors limiting the life OF
clover stand after the tirst-crop year.
says the United States Department of
Agriculture. The most noticeable dam
age is observed in the second-crop
year, when the stand may be badly
thinned, according to L. p. lockwood
associate entomologist, in a new bull
letin entitled "The Glover Root Bor-
err" just issued by the department.
By late summer frequently the stand
Is practically killed out unless there
has been abundant self-seeding.
Where Eggs Are Laid.
The eggs of the borer are laid in
inches in the walls of burrows in the
clover roots beginning late in April or
May, and hatch in II to 80 days. The
total development period of the insect
is from 60 to 90 days or longer. 1t
spends the entire winter in the roots
of the clover where it natures. There
is but one generation year.
Glover root borers can be killed in
large numbers by blowing up badly
infested clover roots and narrowing
them to the surface of the soil at any
time between the middle of June and
beginning of August. Many of the bor-
ers may be destroyed by blowing and
narrowing the clover soon after the
seed crop or second cutting of hay
a one-erop system of clover culture,
together with a general practice of
early fall blowing of clover sod, and,
in exceptionally severe cases, summer
blowing and narrowing, should free
community from appreciate damage
by the horer in the fifst-crop year.
