defense. From time to time in various parts
of the country we hold maneuvers to test the
ability not only of our Air Corps but OF our
entire military establishment, to defend this
country against invasion. From each OF these
we learn some important lesson. Five years
ago our pilots. our planes and our hangers
we're scattered throughout the country under
local commanders, poorly organized for the
function of cooperating with the land forces.
We had no independent Air Force capable of
breaking up hostile concentrations of men and
supplies, of striking at the enemy's ammuni-
ton facilities and of crippling his airdromes
In 1885, for the first time, we organized
GHO General Headquarters Air Force and
placed in the hands Of our military COM
mander the nucleus of a striking force OF air
craft available for immediate use upon the
outbreak of hostilities That force we have
gradually augmented with planes and men.
Today, under the control of its unified COM
mand, it is able to concentrate its entire
strength in defense of any of the strategical
areas of our country. Military men agree that
no step taken since the World War has been 50
vital to national defense nor is more likely to
paw greater dividends in an emergency than
the provision for this powerful defensive
GHQ Air Force.
Because of its tremendous importance in
the early stages of conflict, it is paramount
that the GHO Air Force be retained at all
times on full fighting basis. That condition
we have not yet realized. Our current War
Department program for the Army Air Corps
calls for total of 2.3OO airplanes of all types.
skilled operators to fly them. trained combat
crews to man them. experienced mechanics to
maintain them. efficient equipment 10 support
them and ample bases to house them. BY 1910,
we hope to have an Army GHQ Air Force
fully prepared.
Our AIM however, is not merely numbers.
Our planes must be Of proper types. the
worlds best in those types. and properly
balanced between bombardment, attack. pur
suit and reconnaissance In these types. am
bold enough to venture that we lead the
world Our flying and super flying fortresses,
our large high performance. four engine bomb
ers and our multi-seater fighters are the envy
of foreign powers.
Perhaps in some airdrome in Europe there
may be single plane with more speed, but
speed alone does not insure success for mill
tary aircraft Operating radius, bomb load
defensive armament. maintenance character
istics, reliability of performance - these are
far more important. We strive for speed but
we will not sacrifice for speed.
Nevertheless. since 1894 all of our combat
planes have been increased in speed by more
than one hundred miles an hour. All of them
are capable of doing two hundred miles an
hour or better.
Our airplanes in all respects are better than
ever before Our engines are sturdier. Our
radio aids are more reliable. And our airports
have improved tremendously.

DAYS OF DELIGHT.
FOUND IN CRUISE.
OVER CARIBBEAN
Old and Modern World
Oddly Mingled
BY EDNA MAE STARK

Many travellers are still dubious
over the idea of Caribbean cruises
In summer-not, however, those
of us who have tried it out as
Just did on the Santa Paula.
In fact, the summer months are
an ideal time to visit these coun-
tries. Shops, hotels and clubs are
not over-run with crowds of tour
lists. There's little rain. And the
trade winds are continually on
the job. After all, there's only
five degrees of variation between
summer and winter temperatures
IN the Caribbean!
16-DAY TRIP
The cruise I took was a 16-day
one to Curacao, Venezuela, Co
lombia, Panama, Jamaica and
Haiti and all OF these places were
quite as comfortably tempera-
tured as they are in our winter
season.
We started off with four Won
derful days at Sea-lolling around
on the beach deck collecting a
flattering coat of bronze. and four
nights of dancing under star
Sprinkled sky with phosphor
lights flashing through the waters.
Then came our first landfall-
Curacao, a little Ouch island
flecked with bright-hued stucco
houses scattered along the shore.
Many of us were up early in
every port for a swim and to
see our ship, under the able COM
mand of Capt. Alfred Adler
who commanded his first ship at
the age of 25-deftly Steered
through the narrow breakwaters
into the beautiful harbors where
we berthed.
SAIL UP MAIN STREET
The approach to WillemStad,
capital and chief port of Curacao,
was unique-we sailed in our
ocean liner straight up the main
street with shops as near as if we
WCAC AL a VI O1ICy OeSA 1AAO P1OOA AC
tors within shouting distance.
In port we started out with cool
drinks on the high verandah of
the Hotel Americana from which
we obtained fascinating closeup
view of the toWn-Sleek cars gid
ing between rows of handicapped
natives across the pontoon bridge
and parade of ocean liners and
ell tankers making their way into
the port which is the sixth busiest
in the world.
Shopping here was a real thrill
the little gabled stores of green
and blue and yellow look as if
they'd stepped from a grand opera
set, and prices are low because
Willemstad is free port.
LIFE LIVED GRACIOUSLY
Life is lived graciously on the
little isle. An afternoon motor
drive over the island revealed gay
little cantinas, flower hidden
ranches, each with its windmill
old forts and lovely churches,
groves of tropical trees bunch
backed by the trade winds, i'm
mense oil refineries, and a very
modern airport.
The next port We made was La
Guaira, tumbling down the noun
tainside to welcome us to Venezue-
la. Here we left the ship to make
to two-day motor trip to Caracas.

Of Gomez, Lake Valencia and the
town of the same name, and

.SAGUENAY TOUR
BECKONS AUTOS

The most northerly round trip
tour in Eastern Canada emanates
from the old French city of
Quebec cool and inviting
journey into the depths of great
forests and along the shores of
mighty lakes and inland fjords.
This 515-mile trip leads through
vast Laurentide Park to the Lake
st. John country and the King
dom of the Saguenay," where
modern waterpower development
contrasts strangely with lumber
camps, trappers' cabins and the
birchbark canoe of the Indians.
Driving northward, the motor
list has scarcely left the shadow
OF the Chateau Frontenac in Que
bee before being subjected to the
temptation to stop and explore the
beautiful village of Charlesbourg
which boasts of houses like that
of the Villeneuves, built in 1884
and occupied by the same family
ever since.
An hour later Highway 81 leads
into the Laurentide Park, three
times the area of Rhode Island
and dotted with 1000 lakes and
uncountable streams filled with
gamey trout. The narrow strip
OF road climbs to an altitude of
several thousand feet cutting
through dense forest until it quits
the park and comes upon the
board blue expanSe of Lake St.
John, $50 miles from Quebec.

CLUB DEL RIO OPEN

If you want to combine your
fishing, swimming and boating
these summer days with dancing,
entertainment and all that goes

Club Del Rio has opened for the
season on South River. Only a
few miles from Washington, and
reached by good roads, either the
Defense Highway to Parole and
then across the South River
Bridge. or else right out Central

Building to Lead
Way to Prosperity
Says &. F.. SOnes

The building industry is facing
an opportunity to lead the nation
into an era of improved business
and resumed recovery in the opin-
ion of Charles E. Sones of the Sones
Lumber company, who has Just re-
turned from a building clinic" in
Los Angeles attended by more than
300 building material dealers from
this section.
He was accompanied TO the meet
ing by Pat Glasgow.
The conference, Sones said. was
devoted to a study of methods by
which the building industry could
make it easier for people to build
new homes and make home i'm
provements.
AS a result of his observations at
the meeting, which was sponsored
by Johns-Manville, he is convinced
that there perhaps has never been
a more favorable time to build or
to remodel home. The building
industry, he declares, is able to
deliver more value for less money
in home today than it could in
1926 which was the year of great
est building activity and the one
selected by the government as be-
ing normal.
