 Researches conducted in the lab oratories here of the National Ad- visory committee for Aeronauttcs have produced much unexpected in- formation on this phase of airplane operation at low temperatures. not the least striking of which is that ice forms on the wings and struts only within a very narrow temper ature range close to the freezing point.

New York. May Sl. R-The commercial airplane appears to have hopped out of the red ink area.
 Announcement that the railroads learning from their costly error of ignoring the motor truck and bus when they were chugging for a place on the business map, will CO., ordinate train and airplane service to halve the time of making the tranccntinental journey. may be taken as an indication that the plane at last has won for itself a place in the list of paying ven- lures.
 The development q the train- plane service remains To be worked out, but the fact is becoming more . and more apparent that commercial airplane operation is assuming the status Of . big business and rum ming into big figures. For years the commercial companies operating over established air routes received revenues of $2.149,11l against ex- penses of $2,1o0,427 on an invest ment of about S5,0oo,o0O according to Department ot Commerce fig ures, for carrying passengers. mail and express.
 Airway operating income seema to compare favorably with that of some railways. Holders of air mail contracts received @2,s+S.t5t last year. More than S4.500 passengers were carried at an average fare of 10.S cents mile. Upwards oi 2,250,0o0 pounds of express and l,S00.00o pounds of mail were con- veyed over 5,s0S.sss miles.

If the cloud should be SO deep that he could not rise above it and the temperature near the ground so close to the freezing point that descent would merely increase the danger. he could 90 through the cloud with greater safety at the higher. colder altitude. instead of ice. the vapor would become attach- ed only to the leading edge of the wing in the form of light, fluffy snow. which could be shaken off cas- lily by shifting the angle of his plane.

Organize the Coal Industry

Even those opposed to private ownership OF public
utilities can find little or excuse for the deplor-
able condition of the coal industry.
Everybody who knows anything about that in
dstry knows that it is unorganized, over-manned and
over-mined. More mines are operated under COM
petitive system and hence more miners are employed,
than proper organization of the industry warrants
For wears consumers have been mulcted by high
prices at recurrent intervals because Of this lack oil
organization. Efforts Of operators in some States
like western Pennsylvania Ohio Illinois and Indiana,
to get along with agreement with the miners union
have been thwarted by competition of non-union
mines in West Virginia and other States.
There has been continual war between operators
and miners, with great economic loss to both-and
to the public as we'll Yet it is possible through
plete organization of both operators and miners so
to manage the industry that there could be decent
wages to miners, fair profit for operators and fair
prices to the consumer.
The whole trouble is lack of organization. EveE
between operators there has been cut-throat COM
fault lies in the lack of ability of the operators to
organize the coal industry and to see the economic
necessity or organization of the miners.
The limit was reached long ago. If there isn't
brains enough among the owners of coal mines to
organize their industry and govern it themselves,
then political Government will have to tackle the job
in the public interest
But there can be no real organization of the indus
try unless there organization of both operators and
miners and then cooperative effort by organization
of both.
Neither can destroy the other. Nor is it desirable
from the viewpoint of the public that they should.
So the sooner they face the facts and organize the
entire industry. the better for everybody

Justice to Soldiers

To the honor of the United States Senate the
Tyson bill, equalzing retirement provisions for al
officers who served in the World War, passed with
out the formality of roll call
Twice before has this just measure passed the
Senate, and twice has it been defeated in the House
where the leaders never permitted it to come to a
vote
Exact nature of the grievance Of the officers con-
cerned was bluntly stated by Representative Roy G
Fitzgerald of Ohio in these words
Nine classes Of officers fought in the World
War These were the regular officers Of the
Army, Navy and Marine Corps; the provisional
officers of the Army Navy and Marine Corps,
and the emergency officers of the Navy Marine
Corps and Army. The first eight classes have
been retired by the Congress for their wounds
The disabled emergency Army officers alone have
been denied retirement for their mutilations and
disabilities
And this in the face of the provisions of the Sc
lective Service Act of May, 1917, amplfed Aug. IT
1918, by General Orders No. rs, of the War Depart
ment, reading in part:
This country has but one army-the United
States Army. It includes all land forces in the
services of the United States These forces, how
ever raised, lose their identity in that of the
United States Army. Distinctive appellations
such as Regular Army, Reserve Corps National
Guard and National Army heretofore EMPLOYED
IN the administration and command will be dis
continued and the single term United States
Army" will be exclusively used
This was all clear enough, even to the wayfarer
West Pointers and commanders of volunteers
National Guard or militia organizations were all on
the same footing.
The seasoned regular of the United States Army
was no different-save in the matter of experience
perhaps-from the newly enlisted drafted emer-
gency man of the National Army 1t was the only
way. Cooks son, dukes son, son of belted earl
in the ranks they were all equal
But with the war ended and details of readjust-
ment in the hands of politicians the emergency Off
Ger Disseminated against and this injustice has
been permitted to exist until today.
Now let the House see justice done

Home Remedies

tiny girl in Detroit had paralysis. Her parents
heard that lime bath was an excellent thing for
that afflction. So they filled at tub with boiling
water, put quantity of lime in it and put the girl
in chair directly over. The fumes instead of cur
ing her, killed her.
Here is a warning against home remedies" that
everyone should take to heart. In this advanced
age there is no reason why anyone should try to
cure any disease in that If there is sickness
in your family and friend or acquaintance sug-

Children and Homes

Ordinarily, you'd say that 7-year-old girl would
be better of in her own fathers home than in the
home of two vaudeville performers
But consider the case of little Betty Sellers of
Des MoineS.
Betty James mother died, and she given a
home by Mr.. and Mrs Charles Leroy, vaudeville
performers. She was happy and we'll cared for
Then the father remarked He went to the courts
and got possession of Betty, he could give her
fathers care" The result?
The authorities have taken her away from him
because he mistreated her. Great wets we're found
on her back where he had beaten her.
You can't generalize about children and homes
Sometimes two stage people be kinder and wiser
than blood relations

Politics and Newspaper Chains

Rather naive, to say the least is Senator Frank
B. Willis attack on the Scrpps- Howard newspapers
for venturing to record their preference for Mr..
Hoover as Republican candidate for the presidency.
The Senator who does not conceal his soaring
aspirations objects to what he calls newspaper die
tation which he detects in the statement that the
second choice of the Associated Editors Al Smith
Like many politicians, he sees only sinister pur-
pose in any view Of public affairs that is independent
of strict party lines The chained newspaper is what
he wants. the chain newspapers that speak their
minds he regards as an abomination.

For example, ordinary table salt is what the chem
lists call sodium chloride. chemical combination
of sodium and chlorine. Now it had been found that
these two elements always combined in exactly the
proportions to form table salt There always
exactly % parts by weight of sodium and 35 parts of
weight of chlorine.
The same thing is true of all other chemical COM
binationS
Dalton revived the atomic theory of the ancient
Greeks to explain the law of definuite proportions
He said that each chemical element was composed
of tiny particles called atoms.
He explained the formation of table salt by suppos-
ing that each atom of sodium united with an atom
of chlorine
The atoms of any one substance he said, all had
the same weight. But atoms of different substances
had different weights
Table salt always showed the same proportions be-
cause the proportion of % to 355 the proportion
OF weights OF the two respective atoms.
This law of Daltons is still firmly believed by
physicists and chemists today.
We believe that the smallest particle Of chemical
compound which exist and show the proportions
of the compound is molecue and that the molecules
in turn are composed of atoms
Thus the smallest particle of table salt is mole
cule It is a union of one atom of sodium and one
atom Of chlorine

Indiananolis Faces DUTY

Indianapolis again has become the cyno-
sure of Hoosier eyes-to less degree than dur
ing the hectic days Of political corruption dis
closures, but to far happier purpose.
Indiana wants to know what Indianapolis
Is going to do about the Lincoln Memorial
Fifty leading professional and business men
today are interviewing 500 Of the city IS wealth
lest inhabitants for the first part of the answer.
An army Of equally earnest workers in few
days will call upon the rest Of us.
The funds will build gigantic shrine in
spacious grounds in Spencer County, marking
the site of the log cabin in which Lincoln lived
for fourteen years while boy and the spot
where his mother is buried.
Indiana has a right to be interested in
what this city is going to do to help memorabilia
the immortal Lincoln, because for many years
the rest of the State has been donating, in
taxes or in direct gifts, to the Identification
and the spiritual uplift of indianapolis.
The rest of the State few decades ago
made possible with it's taxes the Soldiers and
Sailors monument, the one point of difference
between indianapolis and sister American
cities which is most sure to be recalled by any
person who visits us
Out-State Hoosiers, with their thousands
and their pennies of direct donations and their
taxes, helped build and operate Riley Me
mortal Hospital for Children, an institution of
which no one can think without heart throb.
Ungrudgingly the rest of the State IS pour
ing $4COO000 into the $10,000,0O0 War Me
mortal Plaza and buildings, project scarcely
equaled in vision or beauty.
To all these projects Indianapolis citizens,
of course, have contributed more than any
other one community-there are more OF us to
give-but indianapolis has received the major
benefit, both in the moral stimulation which
such monumental undertakings promote and
in the dollar value Of having beautiful and i'm
pressive surroundings in which to entertain
our customers.
Now indianapolis has chance to help do
something for the rest Of the State without the
hope Of receiving more benefit than any other
community-to meet and pass her $32o,OOO
quota in the Lincoln Memorial drive.
Really, an apology for mentioning CONNER
eial or sectional considerations in connection
with this great spiritual project is due. The
satisfaction of at last having part IN erect
inc an heroic manifestation that Hoosiers are
proud Lincoln lived in Indiana during the
fourteen misunderstanding years of his life
should be incentive enough.
We are telling the world that Lincoln was
what he was because of the lessons learned in
that rural southern Indiana community. Ii
there is anything left Of the qualities OF those
pioneers who helped mold a Lincoln, Indiana
will do this job handsomely and rapidly.

Secretary Hoover's decision to
enter Indiana's presidential pri-
mary seems to us TO be SEN
Sible one. In fact, we see no rea-
son why a week of uncertainty
preceded his decision. We are as
Stunning, of course, that a preSi-
Dental primarys purpose is to
permit the people to record their
preference among presidential
candidates rather than to honor
some native son.
Probably this has nothing to do
with the reasons that prompted
Mr.. Hoover's decision. 1t appears
that his political advisers felt that
it would be poor strategy for the
Secretary of Commerce to enter
Ohio's primary and not the IN
diana primary, thereby giving
possible cause for the suspicion
that the Hoover campaign was
directed against Senator Willis.
Doubtless Mr.. Hoover's adj
visers were right. To have stayed
out of Senator Jim Watson'S
State primary while he entered in
that of Senator Willis would
scarcely have been good politics,
considering that Indiana senti-
ment for Mr.. Hoover is at least
comparable with that expressed in
Ohio before the Secretary of
Commerce consented to enter the
Buckeye primary.
But it is to those who desire
that the presidential primaries
shall really serve the people that

Col. Charles A. Lindbergh is
finding it difficult to avoid the
spotlight. He has done his level
best to avoid photographers, inter
viewers and crowds, but publicity
stil accrues to him. He is still
flying and his failure to announce
the destination when he starts
fights only whets the pubhc'S in
terest.
The news gathering agencies,
sensitive to public demands, try
to check his movements at all
times. The secrecy to which he
has resorted recently has served
only to make him a more roman
tic figure.
One day he takes off from New
York City in his plane without
announcing his destination. With
in a few hours rumors are III cir
culation that he is attempting
nonstop flight to San Diego Cal.
Again his plane is forced down
by a fog in a rural district in
Pennsylvania. Within an hour the
news spreads that Lindbergh is
CHARTERED in a farmhouse and the
press associates establish commu-
nication with the district.
Ordinarily an avistor's forced
landing is classified as \unimpor-
tant news. But when Lindbergh
goes down it is news Of first inn
portance. Is the Spirit of st.
Louis damaged? Is Lindbergh in
jured, even slightly? These ques-
lions are asked by the public and
they must be answered.
Lindbergh is naturally annoyed
when his rest is an obscure farm
house is disturbed, but he is Lind
bergh. an American hero. and
seemingly cannot enjoy the Sc
curity from intrusion which is the
lot of people whose activities are
hum-drum.
