so THIS Is PROGRESS
 IN AVIATION

The present week has been one of the worst on record for airplane fa- talities. at least as far as front page attention has been concerned.
 All other sorts and varieties of airplane news likewise figured ex- tensively in the news. On Thursday there was seven stories having to do with airplanes on the front page of this newspaper.
 The biggest merger in the history of aviation. too, took place during the week-that between the Wright and Curtiss interests, involving ten other offiliated concerns.
 Aviation is "advancine::" the ques- ton is. however. in what direction.
 A letter from an investment house, winch arrived yesterday distilled the expressing information that air. plane stocks are undergoing q bull market" that there have been ad- vances of from 50 to 1900 points in the stock of some of the pioneers ''
 In this respect. undoubtedly. avia- ton is advancing"
 The general run of citizens. how. ever, will not be convinced that the progress is entirely satisfactory until he reads less of airplane fatalities. Stock advances alone cannot make people airminded
 The complaint is general in this country that Americans are not at airminded as they ought to be. Some Of them. of course, are excessively airminded. if that is possible: but the majority stil seem to be on the fence. Some of the most excessively airminded-for instance. aviation officials-have been among tho casualty list. That does not make [

NOW BETTER WALKS IN WALNUT HILL

As we understand it. the slope from the northern side of the war memorial monument in Walnut Hill park to West Main street or there- abouts is to be improved with an artistic graveled or concrete walk or steps when the city through the park board accumulates sufficient money to go through with it. This will form a vast improvement over the pres- ent condition of this slope, which as matter Of fact is being left in d more or less unimproved condition until such time when the real im- provement is undertaken. This plan. if it is carried out. will make the northern approach to the monu- ment as impressive as the southern approach, where the wading pool and flower beds are situated.
 While the city is at it. there is something else in the park that could be improved with much sat isfaction 10 such mothers who habitually trundle baby carriages to the top of the hill. The so-called walks leading to the top of he hill are composed of thinly crushed stone. laid down without binding material. That is to say. the stone is loose and soft.

Door Left Open for Falk To Prove Hts Charges

In justice to his many supporters and admirers Alderman Falk can hardly refuse to accept the invita- tion extended to him by the board of public works to attend the meet ing next week and explain his charges that the department is ex- travagant with it's payroll and in hiring steam shovels and auto trucks. Anlderman Falk stated this week that. in some instances. laborers are receiving higher wages than foremen. intimating that fav- oritism is being shown. He also suggested that the board buy its own steam shovels and trucks and save money.
 If Alderman Falk can produce evidence that his charGes are true, the public wants to know it. The city engineer and the superintendent of parks have denied that favoritism is being shown in paying employees. They have directly and. without {; equivocation. contradicted the al- derman. The door has been left open for him to substantiate his al- legations by appearing at the pub. lie works department hearing. His refusal to attend and back up his statements with facts and igures might be interpreted as an admis- sion that his charges could not be supported.

 DePands O. Individual Viewpoint
 showing the trend Of the times ia 2 recent discussion among . group of young ladies as to whether or not 8 woman should continue in busi- ness after marriage.
 One girl was of the opinion that this tended to take away from the husband his greatest responsibility. but several of the girls proclaimed that marriage was 60-6O proposi. ton and that each should share jointly in everything-children. home and business interests.
 Although another thought that . home could not be maintained ii both husband and wife continued iu business. another figured that the financial aid compensated for this and that g better and more stable home could be established if the husband and wife contributed to the general funds.
 One married man who has few ideas on the subject, also contribut- ed. Married women should not take part in the business work. he thinks, because their place is in the home. The husband always has held the financial responsibility of the family and he should continue to do 70.
 But" he said. women are not satisfied with this. They invade the business world and take away the jobs and still think that their hus- bands should be responsible for their l debts"
 And one married woman said that both husband and wife working away from home tended to a di- vision rather than partnership oi interests. And the men give us just that much less money" she added.

Spurious Canadian Ale Floods Inns and Road Houses

All is not gold that glitters. nor is all Canadian ale, 90 labelled, ac- tually Canadian ale. This profound observation is inspired by the arrest in Hartford a few days ago of a gang of alleged bootleggers who had in their possession large quantity of Canadian ale" manu- factured in Springfield.
 When P. T. Barnum made his sage comment that . fool is born every minute, he was simply pro- jecting a thought from his genera tion to the present. The sucker population is found thickest at inns and road houses where it pays real money for counterfeit drinks. The label on bottle is accepted at its face value and the sucker proceeds to pay high prices for an article oi mediocre quality.
 They say that the best Scotch whiskey" is made on the lower east side of New York city. Now comes to light the revelation-al. ready known to many--that Cana dian ale Is . home brewed product doctored to initiate closely the original article. At 31.b0 per bottle which is reported to be the standard price in this vicinity, the manufac- turer and the ian keeper make profits that resemble the pickings in . bull market on Wail street.
 According to common gossir Canadian ale" that passes as the real thing is being made in Berlin although the scene of the industry is . closely guarded secret.

BETTER TO HAVE LOVED
 AND LOST
By Miriam Latner

by MTI&m Latuer
 A gentleman said to his daughter: You must do something about your young men. They are destroying the peace of my home. They steal my cigars. They smoke my pipes. They drink my gin. They keep the telephone at a constant jingle. They are terrible. I suggest that you marry one of them and settle down."
 So his daughter called together her suitors and they were many and overfowed into all parts of the house.
 "One of you lads must maExy me, ' she announced. Three of them left the house giving no explanation. Fix were engaged and one reprobate turned out to be married already. To the latter she added. Il certainly sm surprised at you"
 The remaining young men gath cred together and debated as to which would be the lucky fellow.
 If I get her." one said, T will not consider 1t good bresk." Many others felt the same way and were allowed to withdraw. The remaining two went to the 1 daughter and proposed. One oi them said, Your eyes are beautifW and love you. Will you marry me? 2
 She said No" that she liked him very much, and enjoyed his com. pkny, and that she was sorry. He went out and shot himself.
 The other said 10 her. You're . great kid. Let's get married. How about it?"
 She said No" that she would b< a sister to him. and what is mar. riake without love?
 When the news of her failure t secure husband reached her father he became disgusted and had he1 locked up in the garret. Peace de kcended on his home save for tn. few moments Of each day when hi daughter would request-loudly ant with vigor-to be released. He pait absolutely no attention to her!
