Wings Sprout
Billy Goes Up

"Tell Buster to get me black
cap to keep the dust out of my
eyes!"
That's all little Billy Heniken
could think about Monday after
noon. For. Billy was just three
years old Sunday, and he was sure
he needed an aviator's helmet to
enjoy the airplane ride which his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Hen
iken, had promised him for a
birthday present.
So Buster, who turned out to be
Buster Paden, gave Billy his own
ssblack cap and tightened up to
fit Billy's small, curly head. In
the plane piloted by Lieut.. George
Hallett, Billy went for his airplane
ride at sunset Monday evening.
The air was still and those on
the ground could hear the young
ster laughing and talking as he
scared over their heads. Billy was
very much interested in the straps
buckled around his legs. The plane
circled over the city so that all Of
Bills friends could see him.
"Were you afraid!" his mother
aswed first thing when she got
him in her arms again.
aNo!" Bill wrinkled up his di-
minutive nose and laughed to think
that anyone would be afraid way
up in that wonderful airplane. AL
talks about now is "When am
going up again, Mama?" We grow
our wings younger all the time
these days!

GAS WEATHER CONTROL
CLAIMED BY INVENTOR

The Fall crop of extravagant scientific
claims seems to be descending upon us
early this season. Recent dispatches
have assured us Of the accomplishment
Of two scientific marvels, which long
have been the dream of man. Christian
Smidt Alexander, German inventor,
stands ready, we are told to modify
the weather upon invitation. It is his
intention to spread a layer of inoffen-
sive gas evenly at attitudes of 800 to
500 feet, which, 1t Is declared, would
modify the f1erest rays of the sun. Just
what the gas is we are not told, nor has
the inventor disclosed his method for
making 1t stay at the proposed leyel
neither rising, falling nor blowing to one
side. Probably no gas could be made
cheaper than water @vapor, which is so
effective in the form Of our usual clouds.
yet 1t would require an inconceivable
quantity of coal to evaporate enough of
this to produce even layer that the eye
could detect.
We are told also that New Zealand
chemists have made gold from the baser
metals by an electromagnetic method.
Following the claim made by Adolph
Miethe. the possibilities in this field
were pretty we'll investigated few years
ago. and 1t Is now generally conceded
that 1t is never likely to be accomplished.
We are told also that these same men
have discovered new force, called
chromadyne, 10 times more powerful
than electricity. This ought to inspire
the fuelleSS engine experts.

HOLDS NEW MACHINERY
DEMANDS SKILLED LABOR
Automatic Devices Seen as Great
ing Additional Jobs for
Trained Workers.

A short time age We commented upon
the much-talked-of decay of skill
pointing out that this was wholly
imaginary-that, in fact, as much skill
was demanded In industry today as
ever. 1t is merely to be found in diff
ferent channels. The maintenance OF
our elaborate automatic machinery was
given as one field requiring the highest
type Of skill. In this contention we are
supported by Industrial and Engineer
ing Chemistry"
THE continued mechanization Of in
dustry, the increase of automatic de-
vices and the perfection of remote con-
troll have seemed to some to constitute
factors leading to unemployment" says
this journal. Instead, they indicate
the growing need for skilled and a les
sened demand for unskilled labor. The
rate at which automatic devices become
installed is determined not so much by
the devices themselves as by a scarcity
of skilled men able to install and main
tain them in satisfactory condition.
Much of the labor performed in the
past by the unskilled may now be done
in large part by machines, but these
create Jobs rather than destroy them,
place a premium on skill and open up
new possibilities for those who would
improve themselves and increase their
own capacities"

Says:

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.-We are
all in a lather over this shearer,
and the lobbying. If one man with
no Official connection can change a
whole conference, it's not him you
want to investigate, it's the guys
that he influenced. And It's the
same with lobbying in Washington.
If we have Senators and Representa-
tives there that can't protect them
selves against these evil temptations
of lobbyists, we don't need to change
our lobby, we need to change our

there was shortage of funds at the
county poor farm. One man disap-

is convicted. Much suspicion in other
quarters, but no results. The late

much criticism.

THE GREAT ARRIVES

When the liner Berengaria arrived
in the New York harbor, whistles
shrieked, guns doomed, airplanes
buzzed and crowds gathered to pay
tribute to one of its passengers who
had come from one of the most power
full nations in the world for an Off
cial visit in the United States-Pre-
mier j. Ramsay Mcdonald of Great
Britain. No warmer welcome was
ever awarded anyone by the United
States or any other nation of the world
than was received by the Premier and
his party.
But why not? Has not Great Bri-
tain's representative come here on a
mission vital to US all? Has he not
proven himself sincere in the doctrine
he breaches? And was he not again
placed in the position he now holds for
that reason? He is for peace.
1t will be remembered that Ramsay
Macdonald was forced into retire
ment from the parliament of Great
Britain during the World war because
of his opposition to war. That was the
time when the world did not need
such men in power-there was fight.
ing and bloodshed ahead. But now
since that time people have become
filled with the dread of war and are
pleading for permanent peace. Mr.
Macdonald was again placed in the
foreground by his people-theyCwanted
some one who would give his all for
peace.
Thus he has come to our shores, not
as the Pilgrims came although his
