If I'd called on him in a journal
istic capacity hed have been as I'M
communicative as an oyster. I'm
sure he would. In fact, as he was
leaving, I remarked that I'd visit
him soon for an interview At the
word interview" he SHE'D ant
ly like a scared horse.
"Oh, in that case" he I'd
have to turn you over to 9cess
section. Admiral Hepburn runs it,
And I'm quite aware that the press
sections function is the SUPpres-
sion of news. However, what I'd
been having with my admiral
wasn't an interview" but a mere
personal conversation, which was
quite all right.
Most big countries have war
department, a navy department
andsan aviation department. We're
different. We have war and navy
departments, each with an aviation
adjunct, but no Independent avia-
ton set-up.
Greater Efficiency
you see" explained my admiral,
when I asked him about it, 1.-The
army needs aviators for its par
tieular requirements and the navy
needs them for its particular pur-
poses and these respective purposes
are quite unlike one another. Avia-
ton shouldn't be regarded as a
separate service. It's an army and
1t likewise is navy arm, and the
two arms ought to be classified &C.
cordingly. They're much more eff
cient that way"
Enthusiastic avlators have in
sisted for a number of years that
their service, in reality, is pretty
much the whole thing or is fast be-
coming so, anyway. Indeed. the late
General William Mitchell main
tanned that armies and navies no
longer are worth bothering with
that flyers have got them both
knocked into cooked hat.
But soldiers and sailors have
contended right along, as my adj
lmiral did a few days ago, that avn
atoms just couple Of arms--in-
dispensible, but necessarily mott.
waited by the older armed forces.
As a nlilitarily uneducated lay
man, I've wondered repeatedly,
Are our aviators overly enthusi-
astic? Or are our surface fighters,
on land and sea, disposed to belittle
aviation simply because, as terres-
trial and oceanic experts, they're
slow to recognize that their respec-
tive professions are outmoded by
the birds overhead"
The One-Eyed Death
Well, as previously remarked,
my admiral answered these ques-
tons.
'Tll say this" he added. 81 think
maybe the airplane is about due to
put the submarine out OF business.
You'll remember what Kipling
called the sub - the one-eyed
death One-eye - the periscope.
And one eye isn't q full compile

only one lamp. But flyers got
eyes in every side Of his head"
I was curious to learn IL my ad-

very short fight, as from Denmark,
to Norway Of from Sicily to North
Africa. A plane, loaded with men

More Nurses Needed

In a preliminary survey of in
dustrial hygiene problems in the
United States, reported by the
U. S. Public Health Service, it is
said that only about one-third of
the industrial employees in this
country now have either full-time
or part-time industrial nursing
service. This would mean that
about 5000 additional nurses are
needed in industry some time in
the near future.
The industrial nurse must have
additional training in public health
subjects and, Of course, special
training in the particular prob
lens if the industry in which she
intends to go. Of course, the basic
requirement is a good course in
nursing in an accredited and well
equipped hospital, where the prin-
ciples of nursing and surgical,
medical, eye and ear cases, are
taught. The last two are likely to
be particularly important in in
dustrial nursing.
1t would seem feasible also at
the present time, TO institute par
allel courses In training hospitals
for military service, public health
service, and industrial service for
nurses. In hospitals which are
near large factories or universities
where trade courses are offered,
this would be fairly easy. but all
hospitals should make an effort at
the present time to supplement
their courses in this way. In the
case of the industrial nurse, train
ing would always be valuable
because well-trained industrial
nurses will be in demand for q
great many years.
The natural loss by marriage.
sickness, etc., in the nursing pro-
fession is high and, therefore, new
units must constantly be trained
to take the place of the old ones.

Human Nature Not Changed
by Government Restriction

! There is something more in this
connection. however, which we
shoVld now remember. 1t is this:
Notwithstanding the changes from
candles to kerosene and to gas and
electricity, this astounding fact is
true: More candles are sold today,
more kerosene is sold today, and
more gas is sold today than ever
before in history. This means that
even some of those who remained
in these vanishing businesses are
making millions today. They are
making these millions because they
developed new uses for their pro-
ducts. They taught people TO use
candles for decorative purposes; to
use kerosene to operate the kitchen
stove; and to use gas to heat the
house, operate the ice-box, and a
score of other things never
dreamed OF before

affect metals. These regulations
would have been a severe handicap
to manufacturers OF refrigerators,

had been in general use twenty
five years ago Since then. however,
the use Of plastics has been discov-
cred. In most things now sold for
household use. plastics can today
take the place of metals. Think
this over before getting frightened,
Also remember that plastics are

25th annual convention.
Four days o. business sessions
and conferences are scheduled 10

The theme cf the convention Is
"vitalizing den ocracy through ser.

This is the second time that
Atlanta has been host 10 a Ki-
wants International convention.
The first one was held in May
1928.
Increased Production
Mark A. Smith, Macon Ga. presi-
dent Of Kiwanis International, is
presiding at all sessions.
In his annual message, he urged
a speeding up of national defense
and a unity Of all community
groups for pro-democracy work.
The L. S. and Canada are unitei
in their efforts for bringing viz
tory" declared Mr.. Smith I'VE Of
the democracies see life as a
spiritual adventure and not mere
ly a blind will to live. Our COM
mon faith is that we live for one
another and upon our sacrifices de-
ponds the future of civilization.
Our strength lies in the capaci-
ty and the swiftness with which
we produce. In many ways XII
wants can participate in defend
ing democracy. We shall continue
to insist upon the full recognition
of human values and see in totali-
arianism the death OF the finer hui
man and spiritual values OF life.
I'VE are in an area OF the world
where democracy is the strongest.
Our rapid growth in Kiwanis is
due to our belief in democracy
and our many fine welfare and
civic projects. In a world at war
the spirit OF Kiwanis, OF tolerance,
OF free speech and of fair play
must be kept alive. This calls for
unity and courage among our en-
tire membership" he said.
Coordinate Community Groups
The chief work OF the convention
during the coming days will be to
coordinate all community groups
for meeting the present national
emergency and defense prepare
tions. Conferences will plan child
welfare. agriculture, youth, pro-
democracy, education, health, hous-
ing and other work.

such questions as, will be able

Can't Kill Industries
The first thing to remember is
| that human nature cannot be
changed by legislation. ] learned
this during World War | when |
was National Director OF Informa.
ton and Education at Washington.
We shut down on Sunday motoring
but the money went into silk shirts
instead OF into gasoline. In Eng.
land, they first shut off the sale of
cosmetics TO English working girls
in the factories. The authorities
soon found, however. that unless
The girls could buy what they want
cd the production OF munitions fell
off. Then. the government went to
the other extreme and installed in
all factories slot machines for the
sale OF cosmetics.
| repeat: No Government restric-
tons can change human nature.
This means that industries can't
be killed. People will change their
habits of riding from a stagecoach
10 railroad train and from a rail
road train TO bus or airplane; but
the transportation industry is
fundamental. Men will change
their mode of fighting from bows
and arrows TO pistols and guns and
then to tanks and bombing planes,
but warfare is fundamental. We
change our method of heating from
wood pile to coal stove and then TO
the oil burner, but the heating in.
dustry still remains fundamental.
Those who stick to their industry
but are willing TO change their
methods are, in the long run, sue
cessful.
Finding New Uses
Our great grandparents did their
reading by candlelignt; our grand
parents read with kerosene
lamp; our parents lit the house
with gas; while we use the, mean.
descent lamp The mode Of lighting
changed, but those who stuck to
the lighting industry and were
willing to change the method OF
lighting came through with flying
colors. The easily-frightened and
the "die-hsrds" we're wiped out.
Certainly, there Is lesson in this
Tor all Of US today. Do not give up
tne business or line OF work for
which you are trained because
Harold Ickes says Boo" to you
and tries TO scare you.
