NEED OF BALLOONS
FOR ARMY STUDIED
Survey Follows Recent Tour
Made by Assistant Chief
Of Staff.

Provision of at least two additional
observation balloons at Army artillery
training centers is being studied by Air
Corps officers as a result of an aerial
inspection trip of Army posts recently
completed by Brig. Gen. Edward l..
King, newly appointed assistant chief of
staff. Gen. King flying in Ford CO
transport from Boiling Field, visited
Army posts in II states.
He left Boiling Field November 8, ac-
companied by Mai. John Brooks, Air
Corps, assigned to the general staff; ;
Capt. Willis Hale and Capt. William j.
Flood, both from the Office of the chief
of the Air Corps. Maj. Brooks and
Capt Hale alternated as pilots. The
trip was made to acquaint Gen. King
with activities at the Army posts with
the least possible loss of time.
While at Pope Field, N. c., Gen. King
took part in the annual training pro-
gram, flying as observer in a plane in
which the pilot dropped bombs for
record and used his front machine guns
on ground targets for record. At Gal
weston, Tex, Gen. King also flew as
observer in various attack formations
and at Brooks Field, the Air Corps pri-
mary training school, he took a half
hour of instruction in a training plane
The balloons are needed at Fort Sill,
Okla, where the Artillery School is
located, with the First Balloon Com
pany as the aerial observation unit.
Another balloon would permit the use
of two ranges at one time and would
aid materially the work of the school,

is needed in conjunction with the artil-
lery command at Fort Bragg, N. c.,

BELGIAN SAYS BIRDS
MAY INFLUENCE AVIATION
Possess Greater Speed Range Than
Modern Aircraft, Engineer De-
clares After Long Study.

The Belgian engineer, Maurice Boel,
has made an exhaustive study of the
natural fight of birds. The study itself
is, of course, interesting. but no more
so than some of his conclusions regard
ing the possible developments in air
craft which his studies have suggested.
Writing in Mechanical Engineering, he
says:
Among the observations made, there
are several lessons which might profit
ably be learned by aircraft constructors.
Many birds, particularly the albatross,
are constructed with especial care.
Moreover birds possess a greater speed
range than the majority of aircraft,
while the energy which they expenu
when flying is relatively less than that
of machines. Here, then, are qualities
more important than can be fully ap-
preciated, and which will eventually be
embodied in the construction of air.
planes that already possess superior
speed In other words, the theory of
natural fight does not introduce new
machine. 1t introduces merely a few
remarks which will assist in perfecting
existing aircraft, of which there is every
reason to feel proud. Today man is do
ing nearly as we'll as the birds. In a
little while he will be doing even bet

NEW NOVELS DESCRIBE

"Pigskin" Is Satirical Display of
College President Who Realizes
Importance of Foot Ball.

NEW YORK (SpeciaD Hard upon

One is "Pigskin," by Charles w. Fer
guson. The other is The Unwilling

of great university and poured his
dream, at last, into concrete forms. But
1t was not without ruthlessness and
without suffering. Ferguson in his first
novel, does present picture as devas-
tating as the foundations report, with
additional scenes of the badged alumni
Percy Marks says these alumni are
"the worst offenders"
They are" he says, "far more hys-
terical about foot ball than the under
graduates are"
The Unwilling God" describes the
struggle of campus hero against the
accepted rules for such a role. He went
to college to get an education, but he
finally gets the old college spirit, dashef

TOXIC FOSTERS BIRTH
CONTROL AMONG POOR
Information to Be Given to Help
Allay Suffering in Poverty
Stricken Homes.

TOXIC (P).-The capital of Japan is
making official preparations to furnish
birth control information to its poor in
an effort to relieve the suffering that
comes from large families in poverty
stricken homes.
This sociological experiment. espe-
cially startling in the Orient where an
cestor worship has placed premium
on large families, is hailed by pro-
ponentS of birth control as opening the
way for application of this remedy on a
national scale to Japan's overpopulation
problem.
Yukichi Shirakami, deputy mayor of
Toxic, said it was the purpose to give
information only to couples that already
have four children and can show that
they are too poor to care for more. In
formation will be denied to young,
newly married couples and to persons
of wealth.
Mr.. Shirakami said that the NUM-

to lower the high infant mortality rate

MAN NEVER A MONKEY.
So Says United States National
Museum Expert.

Man is not descended from the mon
key. So says the authority on this sub
ject, DR.. Austin H. Clark of the United
States National Museum. We offer this
to you for what comfort you may de-
rive from it. Writing in the Scientific
Monthly recently, Mr. Clark said: Man
never was arboreal, and none of his an
cestors was ever arboreal. All his char
acteriStics are those of a ground-living
creature walking erect. Man never was
a monkey. Man is a mutation. from
the same general stock as that which
produced the monkeys. Just what that
was we do not know" Man is differen-
tiated from the animals through his
inherent instincts which enable him to
cope with the animals more than sue
cessfully, although he is physically
weaker and is further handicapped by a
slowly maturing family.
