WASFIINGTON-I the few short
years since the war, the character
of aerial warfare has been completely
revamped.
The World war saw the birth and
the virtual passing OF the romantic
ace who operated alone in the air
like the medieval knight fought be-
fore ne became part of well drilled
military unit.
In our next war, if any, instead
of seeing the ace go out alone to
"get his man" we will see our fight
ing planes operating in arrnadas
under commander in the air, eX-
actly like unit OF troops on the
ground or squadron of destrOyers
on the sea. The lessons OF the war
and subsequent experiments are re-
sponsible for the change.
Development of tactics since the
war has demanded formation flying
as rule rather than the exception, .
say F. Trubee Dawson, assistant Sec.
retary of war for aviation From
a military point OF view formation
flying is fundamental In future
wars air units consisting of various
numbers of planes will be led and
fought by a commander in the air
1t is also a proven fact that greater
safety results to the individual flying
in formation than is possible when
an equal number OF pilots flying at
will in the same general country
One important device remains to
be perfected before the commander
in the air can direct his planes as
well as a commander can direct his

ground troops. This involves plane
to-plane communication by radio to
replace the present somewhat clumsy
method of mechanical signs. Planes
have had marked success in talking
with the ground, and vice versa, but
the matter OF noise has been the
big obstacle in the way OF good
plane-to-plane radio. Air corps Off
GERS predict that whatever is neces-
sary will be attained ''in time for
the next war;" as it is only a question
Of mechanical progress.
There is no limit, theoretically,
to the number OF planes one man
may command in the air during
"the next war" Air fighting units
are classified as flights, squadrons
groups, brigadeS and divisions. One
of the most striking demonstrations
of group operation to date was the
flight of the first pursuit group from
Between dawn and dusk pursuit
planes flew from the northern border
of the United States and concentrated
at the southern border.
Popular interest in future war in
the air has been excited by the
completion of three big new bombing
planes. These are half the six
bombers being built by as many diff
ferent companies for air corps ex-
perimentS. From the results OF the
experiments and the best features
of each will be devised standard

NOTES
ABSENCE OF ALL
SIGN OF SLUMP

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81 up II The
phenomena usually accredited as pre-
mcnitory Of slump are absent and
the United States enters the New Year
with The forces of stability dominant
in the business world, Secretary OF
Commerce Herbert Hoover said today
in a statement regarding business
prospects ior 1928.
Mr.. Hoover explained, however that
such industries as agriculture, textile,
bituminou5 coal and some metals still
lag behind o hers He held to have an
important bearing on the future the
decrease in wholesale prices of nom
agricultural products, pointing out that
the great extent to which industry has
accommodated Itself to the decline
makes for a sounder condition for the
ensuing year"
: "There IS an ample supply of credits
at low rates." Mr.. Hoover said. THE
somewhat larger stocks of goods which
were accumulated during Ghe summer
are being reduced; there is no conse-
uuential speculation in commodities;
the crops have been abundant; wages
are at high level; we are recovering
from some partial unemployment, espe-
cially in the automobile industry.
"There is peace in most sections OF
the labor world except bituminous coal;
there is more peace in the information
al world than at any time since the
war; the foreign world is recovering
is economic strength and buying pow
er; therefore, our foreign trade Is
steadily increasing. The phenomena
usually accredited as premonitory OF
slump are therefore absent"
Of the changes in prices, which he
characterized as important shifts in
our own economic world, "NGr Hoover
said: Ns3st
"Wfile the average wholesale price
of all commodities at about so per cent
above pre-war is today The same as a
year ago, yet if we divide them into
agricultural and nom agricultural goods
it will be found that the average price
of non-agricultural products has fall
en- in the IL months from about go
per cent above pre-war to 81 per cent
pre-war; while the average of agri-
cultural products at central markets
has risen from about 35 per cent above
pre-war to about SO per cent above
pre-war; however, prices on the. farm
show only a rise of from about 80 per
cent above to about 80 per cent above

Possibilities of future aerial war
fare are to be seen in the fact that
these new bombers fairly bristle with
machine guns, one OF them mounting
eight, and that at least one is fitted
for a 1000 pound bomb.
The army has six types of planes,
which will be distributed as follows
when the five year program is
complete: TIT observation planes,

planes, SO attack planes, ZIG training

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
GETTING EVEN

I have always been terribly timid,
I have always inStinctively Shrunk
From saying to folks that their notions
were jokes
And their views were compounded
of bunk.
I've listened to solemn opinions
Which knew were the veriest rot,
And I've nodded my head as heard
them and said @.R@
In my heartiest manner: That's
What!"
I've attended political meetings
Where the speaker looked straight in
my eye
And GRATED along with his premises
wrong
And, of course, his conclusions aWry.
I have wanted to get up and hiss him
And to jeer at his unrighteous cause
But, transfixed by his glare, I re-
NAMED in my chair
And even helped out the applause
I am frequently bored to extinction
BY some actor I see in a play,
I grow frantic with rage when he struts
down the stage
In his jaunty and smart aleck way
Yet never dare stroll toward an exit
With scornful and leisurely gait,
I am utterly cowed by the rest of the
crowd
Who appear to believe he is great.
But at night when the radio brings me
The notes of some sour quartette
Which distractingly croons sundry old
fashioned tunes
Which for long I have tried tc
forget
There is red in my eyes, and I quietly
rise,
My tinidness wholly forgotten,
And I savagely shout eli there, cut
that stuff out
And get off the mike; you are
r0ttenl"
