Among
Our Yesterdays

Twenty years ago Ell Centre was
concerned about the birthplace OF
the automobile, according to press
reports of the time. A story read;
"Illinois files claim to the dis
tinction of being the birthplace
of the automobile. If Illinois is
right the credit for producing the
first horseless carriage in the Unit
ed States goes to General James
Semple, prominent lawyer OF Mad
ison county. member of the legis-
lature and later speaker. His fel-
low lawmakers we're Abraham Lin
coin and Stephen Douglas and he
ranked with the ablest of his con-
temporaries.
He came upon tho scenes before
the railroad. He was more than %
years ahead of his time.
1t was in the 40'S that General
Semple conceived the idea of land
vehicle that would superccde horses
mules and oxen, then the only mo-
tive power in Illinois. He decided
to experiment with such a machine
and it was finally constructed and
completed in Springfield in 1864.
The plans of the inventor were
made on an elaborate scale as the
car was 40 feet in length and 20
feet wide. 1t was designed to carry
so passengers and freight.
The power was supplied by a
steam engine connected with two
driving wheels six feet in diameter.
In the center was a tall mast ex-
tending 40 feet in the air which
carried sail The wind, if favor
able. was counted upon to help in
motive power.
"A huge crowd gathered on the
day of the maiden trip, 1t was
planned to make the run to st.
Louis. a distance of 80 miles. The
machine actually made a run of
eight miles before it collapsed. 1t
was left to tho elements on the
same spot and remained until it
fell to pieces"

Willis Thornton's Editorial On:
Forewarned Forearmed

Russia, which is at peace with Ger
many, France and Britain. You
might think that American trade
with such neutral is our own bus
mess. Ditto our trade with the
Scandinavian countries, also sud-
denly far above normal. But it
seems not
War is desperation. If the Bri-
tish believe neutral countries are
buying things from the United
States. then passing them on to
Germany. they will attempt to stop
it. Contraband controls in the Paci-
fic may come with the spring.
In short. when Britain thinks any
neutral has imported from the Unit
ed States as much of any material
as it needs. Britain will try to stop
further imports. International law?
Remember the Altmark!
Meanwhile, of course, the British
are importing from the United
States Just as little as they can. or
planes and such desperately need
ed products. they will take all they
can get. But of cotton, oil and wheat.
the minimum. They will buy in
stead from European and South
American countries with which they
hope to improve relations.
Australia has just cut imports
from the United States by aobut 10
per cent.
In the midst of military war, Bri-
tain is moving heaven and earth to
maintain export markets
All this means heavy handicaps
for American foreign trade. We shall
need two things: first, patience and
understanding in the face OF what
will certainly appear to be unjust
determinations; and second, every
effort to stimulate the domestic
market to make up for impending
losses in foreign trade.
Imperial Valley press., 1940-04-12

If it is true that to be forewarnee
is to be forearmed, the United
States is lucky. Warning signs are
clearly up:
Whether the blitzkrieg blitzes
this spring or whether it merely
fizzles, the neutrals are in for it.
For all of them, including the Unit
ed States, things will be worse be-
fore they a.c better We may as
we'll get used to the idea.
American trade is going to get a
worse kicking around than it has to
date. The Bitch are face to face
with the fact that their blockade
is a good deal less than water-tight.
They arc preparing measures to
tighten it, though neutrals squirnl.
The British claim that Russia
for instance, has bought in Am
erican Pacific ports vast quantities
of copper lead tin alloys. and ma
chinerv beyond her own need. This
Britain maintains. is going through
Russia to Germany.

MORE TRANSPORT
PILOTS ARE NEEDED

Meanwhile as the transport sche-
dulles increase. there is developing
a shortage of airline pilots. Pre-
yiously. they were drawn largely
from the army and navy. The SER
vices arc keeping their men now,
however. and the airlines must look
elsewhere. To aid in the search they
are setting up their own training
schools. in which they believe an
intensive 18-month course will fit an
already qualified flyer for cO-pl-
lots job.
There arc today about 5000 pilots
outside the alrlineS' StaffSp with
commercial licenses; perhaps 500 of
these have the 1900 hOurS-in-the-
