late controversy with Mr.. Douglas.
Mr.. Lincoln has been about town
all day and accessible to all who chose
to speak to him. He has occupied the
room of the Executive in the Capitol,
and has been freely congratulated by
his fellow-townsmen.
Mr.. Lincoln spent most of election
night in the telegraph Office where he
heard returns and received private dis
patches with a most marvellous equa-
nimity. Those who saw him at the
time say it would have been impossible
for a by-stander to tell that that lean,
tall. wiry, good-natured. easy-going
gentleman, so anxiously inquiring
about the success of the local candi-
dates was the choice of the people for
the most important Office in the Ma
ton. Even during the election day
and night, Mr.. Lincoln was about
town, attending to his business as
usual. Many of his Springfield ac-
quaintances will long remember how

a difficult time picking out the World
War flyer among the personnel.
Nor is this due entirely to any savage
physical changes which time has
wrought in the appearance of these
men. The aviator seems to enjoy a
degree of immunity to the quick and
drastic changes to which other men
are subject. To be sure, compilations

nothing about flying that removes men

This crossing, located at the crest of q
rise in the highway, Is not easily per-
ceived at night by motorists travelling
east. Under the sodium vapor lamps,
however, the hazard is visible far
enough away to enable motorists to
stop within q good margin of safety
and wait for the trains to pass.
Another hazard disclosed is the in
tersection of Route 7, at johannesburg,
with Route 20. main road to Albany.
Visibility is very poor at this point
due to the presence of business struc-
lures along the intersecting points Of
the two routes. Pedestrian traffic,
particularly, is endangered. Although
county traffic authorities have kept
no record of motor vehicle deaths and
injuries at this juncture prior to the
time the lights were installed, State
highway officials are agreed that the
hazards to life and property have since
been greatly minimized.
That the night illumination Of our
heavily travelled highways is bound to
become an increasingly important
problem in the future was predicted re-
Gently by Charles M. Upham, engi-
neer-director of the American Road
Builders Association. Mr.. Upham said
that the association, which has $500
members, has given the subject of
highway illumination very important
part in its highway safety campaign,
which seeks to remove hazards from
our highways.
A number of the leading highway
engineers have predicted that the pres
ent movement will result in illum-
mated highways extending from coast
to coast, making highways as safe to
travel on by night as by day and
relieving the highways of a consider
able amount Of daytime traffic, which
will accomplish the journey at night
when the traffic Is less.

Of life, however, one is accustomed to
the process of disillusionment.
. For example, one ventures into the
precincts of such an institution with
the conviction that he will see the very
latest in aerial armament. It seems
entirely rational to look forward to
such an experience, in view of the fact
that the school teaches the last word
in aerial warfare. The equipment on
which this last word necessarily is
based is assumed as matter of course.
1t is a wrong assumption, however.
There are new planes Of few types
in the spacious hangers, and others
are understood to be on the way, but
the visitor frequently is impressed
with the sight Of plane that looks
like the ancient albatross being used
in tactical study that is as up-to-the-
minute as tomorrow. One looks-and
remembers those rotogravure pictures
of huge fleets of foreign planes!
THE military plane type most sig
= nally missing among the equip
ment at Maxwell Is the one which
today's military airman rates at the
top Of the list and the one upon which
so much of the schools teaching en-
phasis is laid. The plane in question
is the bomber.
Today's bombing plane has come a
long way from the cumbersome, torpid
crate which evolved after the World
War.
1t is the lyer's favorite, regardless
Of how reactionarily the layman may
still give his loyalty to the pursuit
ship which acquired such glamour
during the days of 1914-1918. The pur-
suit ship, to be sure, has not been left
without function in the evolution Of
military aircraft, but, as compared
with the spectacular role it once played.
1t seems destined now for an extremely
dun life.
