Too Vital to Neglect

nIHE swiftmoving development of the of aviation
as war weapon, demonstrated so tragically by
recent events in SPAIN should spur Congress to action
on the bill of Representative John W. Mccormack of
Massachusetts, designed to build up efficient reserve
of pilots and planes
The measure provides for increasing the air
of the Army Navy and Marine Corps and for expan-
sion of the aviation divisions Of the Coast Guard and
the National Guard with the objective of eventually
having hundred thousand trained reserve pilots
and ten thousand planes.
The plan for developing the flying reserves as en-
bodied in the Mccormack bill is thoroughly in keeping
with the traditional policy of this country to avoid
maintaining large and expensive standing army.
It is likewise in keeping with the determination Of
this country to be prepared defend its shores against
any and all beligerents who might through envy or
malice venture to attack u.s.
Neither Mr.. Mccormack the Army and Navy
Union which is sponsoring his BILL wish to load down
this country with the heavy financial burden which
would be incident to keeping in regular service suffi
cen corps of pilots adequately to defend the Nation
At the same time the patriotism of Mr.. Mccormack
and the members of the Army and Navy Union prompts
them to demand that farseeing policy for the preser-
walton of our country shall be adopted.
The wisdom of trained reserves has long been recog
nzed by Congress and by our Government in dealing
with other branches of the service.
It is now time to deal in the realistic fashion
with aviation
PILOTS CANNOT BE TRAINED OVERNIGHT.
LARGE NUMBERS OF MODERN DEFENSIVE
FIGHTING CRAFT CANNOT BE TURNED OUT IN
DAY.
Our pilots need careful and intensive training in
order to be capable of meeting any air force that may
be sent against
To get that training they must be given ships to fly
These detectives would be accomplished under the
Mccormack bill.
Congress cannot afford to neglect such a vital
measure.

You don't believe it? Listen!
Suppose you going to make chair-how would you
Would you start by assembling wood hammer nails?
No. You'd start making chair by thinking about it. You'd
begin first with desire to make chair You'd that
chair your mind You'd select its design choose its

centrating completely the one thing you prefer.
Before you used any toosor drew plan YOU'D BUILD
THAT CHAIR IN YOUR IMAGINATION. AND THE FIN

Before anything can happen, it must first be THOUGHT
it must first be CHOSEN
Instead of making that chair you could have made any
Of millions Of other Objects couldn't you? But you decided
make that chair. Out of all things you might have de-
Sired you desired that chair Out of all the materials you
might used you chose those that fitted that chair
WE MAKE OUR LUCK IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY.
Luck isn't accdentnor does start with individual
decision We CHOOSE luck We choose by the quality
of our thoughts the nature of desires and decisions
And those thoughts decisions begin shaping destiny

While are still babies we begin making choices which

Sponsors Expedition to
South America.

An expedition to study and photo
graph the crowned hawk-eagle and
other strange birds of South Africa
will be conducted soon under Ma
tional Geographic Society auspices
by Capt. C. w. R. Knight of Eng
land, lecturer and authority on the
habits of birds of prey.
Capt Knight, who often is accom-
panied on his lecture tours in this
country by trained eagles, will leave
for England today to prepare for the
expedition. which will enter the field
during July and devote five months
to taking pictures of South African
birds and mammals.
Capt. Knight has discovered a
region in the South African back
country frequented by crowned hawk
eagles. The birds nest in lofty trees
and are powerful enough to kill small
deer. They prey largely on monkeys,
however, and Capt. knight reported
that the ground under the nests is
often Uttered with the skulls of these
creatures.
The birds will be photographed with
the aid of telescope lenses from
blinds built high in trees. Other
birds to be studied include the ham,
mer head, small species of stork,
which builds huge nests of sticks
cemented together with clay The
birds construct tunnel entrances to
their apartment" homes.
Capt. Knight was accompanied on
his last trip here by James" an
African eagle he has trained to hunt
like a falcon. At his home near
London he has two other trained
eagles--"Mr. Ramshaw," about whom
he wrote book" and Miss America"
