to exceed at any one time, 1850 re-
serve officers on active duty for a
period not to exceed five years. In the
event of their separation from the
service, subsequent to three years, they
will be paid bonus of $500. The con-
slant turnover of this number would
give as much of flying reserve as
can be used on the outbreak of hos
tilities due to shortage of aircraft.
We would have more qualified flyers
than can be furnished combat planes

During war, mobilization plans pro-
vide for utilizing the training of pri-
vate fliers with transport ratings, of
whom there are some 1000 in the
country, by shortening the time spent
on their training at the schools. Many
are already graduates Of the training
centers and practically all are quail
fed for appointment as Reserve OH
GERS. Those Reserve officers not on &C
tive duty are authorized to fly Govern
ment aircraft and thus have some OPP
portunity to maintain proficiency as
military pilots. Many are pilots for
commercial airlines and keep highly
proficient. Most of them, however,
would be required where they are in
time of war and not in the combat

Representative John, J. McSwain,

His statement was very positive.
American aviation is abreast with

in many ways, will insist and impel
sufficient appropriations to build up
adequate forces. OF course our most
vital need is for more combat planes.
We have in the Air Corps and Air Re-
serve now over three times as many
pilots capable of taking to the air
instantly in combat as we have planes.
"Under certain conditions, the air
force Of the Navy may be the first
line of defense and it should be
strong enough to protect the Navy
from hostile aircraft.
"As to the General Headquarters
Air Force of the Army, it should be
capable of being divided into two
fighting forces, to meet the possible
contingency of simultaneous attack
from two different directions. At
present, it is inadequate in combat
planes to constitute a single defensive
fighting force! Its strength must be
more than doubled to meet its mis-
sion. The fleet cannot be safely di-
vided and it would be moved with
relative slowness, as compared with
aircraft, especially in transferring
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
vice versa. Therefore, the chief re-
lance against hostile air raids is the
General Headquarters Army Force
based on land.

we can feel that the program Of air

the money Is made available as fast
as construction Of planes and bases
can go on, should still think it would
require between three and five years
to complete.
"A S FOR coordination in time OF
war, the constant training Of
the Air Corps and Air Reserve insures
coordination within that element. It
is not likely in our geographical sit
uation that the feet will ever be bot
tied up and unable to maneuver. So
long as it does maneuver, it must have
its own protective aircraft. In the re-

But while Dr. Warren did not ac-
tually encourage his admirers, ne was
not averse to making the most OF
their attentions for his own amuse-
ment. When they became serious
he would show them snapshot OF
his wife and child, which he kept
conveniently in his pocket. In most
cases this checked their overzealous-
ness.
Betty ignored him, deliberately
enubbed him. but never did her pulse
fail to quicken at the sound Of his

Always professional, she replied,

removed a particle of dust from .

not to disturb him for anything that
was not serious. Another time she
had smuggled a steak for him from
the diet kitchen and he hadn't even
thanked her.
HER black eyes flashed with con-
= flicting emotions as she marched
grimly down the corridor and halted
for a moment outside Dr.. Warren's
room Then she went on to the diet
kitchen and in a few moments re-
turned to his room.
Quickly. deftly, she stripped the
bed, sprinkled rice over the mat

ton. She emptied the tobacco from

for his moments of relaxation and
refilled it with ground coffee. Then.

his sore tail, he had time to do a
lot of thinking, and he did do a lot
Of thinking. He thought Of how day
after day he had found all those
good things to eat at each Of his
favorite eating places, and how
there had not been one single thing
to make him suspicious. In fact,
there had been everything to take
suspicion away. He began to un-
derstand just what that trapper had
tried to do, and it seemed to him
that nothing could possibly have
been more unfair.
> HE tried to make me think he
was my friend" thought Jerry.
HE knew that if I had the least
suspicion that he wasn't my friend,
I would be watching for traps. So
he pretended that he was my friend
and he brought all those nice
things to me to eat so that I would
trust him. did trust him, and he
knew it. Then when he was sure
that I wouldn't suspect him Of do
ing such a thing he set that awful
trap for me. I'll never trust any
body again! I never, never will!
It's awful to distrust everybody, but
after this I'll just have to-"
So Jerry Muskrat was filed with
distrust. He had been so very hap
py there in the Smiling Pool for so
long that now life seemed hardly
worth while. There was no happi-
ness in it. You see, he felt that not
only could he no longer trust those

Of his favorite places along the
bank. He was even suspicious Of
the Big Rock. The only place where
he felt absolutely safe was right in
side his own house.
But Of course he couldn't stay in
his own house all the time, because
he had to eat. OF course. Every
body has to eat. Then, too, he had
a lot of work yet to do on that house
Of his to make it ready for win
ter. This meant that he had to
travel around considerably to get
his food and to get the material for
his house. But now he never went
ashore without first looking with
the greatest care for signs of a
trap.
One Of the first things he did after
he got through nursing his sore tail
was to 60 to each Of the places
where that trapper had put good
things to eat. He went there, not
to get those good things, but to find
out if there were traps there as
there had been on the old log. He
found a trap at each place. After
that he did not go near these places.
Billy Mink would have found a way
to get all those good things to eat
without getting into one Of the
traps, but Jerry preferred to take
no chances. He simply kept away
from those places. Those pieces of
carrot and apple were a terrible
temptation, but he contented him
self with his regular food and tried
to forget that there were such
things as carrots and apples. And
even when he was hunting for his
regular food he was all the time
watching out for traps. He was so
filed with distrust that he took no
joy in anything.

WHEN GOD HAS MADE US FREE
By JEAN NEWTON

IN A fine sermon a prominent
L minister tried to point out to his
congregation their high responsible.
tiles, by telling them that God made
men and women free. We are free,
he said, to pursue the highest desti-
ny, because God made us free.
And it seems to me that the words
are like a gust of fresh air admit
ted to stuffy room. They are like
the sound of beautiful music to one
who has long been deafened. For
they inject into the rush and tur-
noil of our daily living a something
that makes us stop a moment and
listen and feel and think.
God made men and women free,
but do we keep ourselves free?
That is the thought those words inn
pei. For civilization has forged
shackles into which many of us too
willingly place ourselves.
Somewhat beyond the control of
many OF us, of course, are the
shackles of the fight for existence.
But many more of us are volun-
tarily enslaved who cannot point
to this necessity. There is, for in
stance, no enslavement so hopeless
as the pursuit of pleasure, for which
many women give up their free
dom for growth and satisfaction and
happiness. And there are the petty
little shackles of modern life which
prove strong enough to rob many
people of their freedom. They are
such shackles as ''What will people
say?" keeping up with the
Joneses" 'Others are doing"
1.-THE things I must have"
What a pity to submit to such
shackles, to permit ourselves to be
held down-when God made us
free.
