AT AN seronautical meeting
n at Las Vegas. New. on April
II, where ! shared the platform
honors with L. WEIGH Pogue.
chairman OF the civil aeronau-
tics board, ] heard him plead
for the return to the air lines
OF at least some of the planes
taken from them when the war
started.
Vital transport inside the
country, he argued, is an i'm
portant part of our war pro-
gram which we cannot neglect"
That very day, speaking at
the other end of the country, in
Bridgeport. Conn. Ralph S.
Damon, vice president of Amer
lean Airlines, made a similar
plea.
These two expressions point
up a situation that merits more
public attention and under
standing than it has been re-
ceiving.
A revision Of the govern

ment.s policy on air lines equip
ment has long been overdue.
AZ a time when other nations
are stepping up organization
for postwar aerial traffic, the
artificial restraints on Ameri-
can air lines look like a serious
blunder.
1t can be explained only by
the fact that aeronautical sf-
fairs in the United States, in
stead of being unified in one de-
parument are split among half a
dozen or more agencies, none
of which has overall policy max
ing authority.
IN MARCH, 1912, the Presi-
L dent limited all our air lines
10 an aggregate Of 200 planes,
which meant diversion of about
$50 10 military purposes.
The action was entirely JUS
titled by the acute shortage Of
equipment.
That justification. I believe,
no longer holds good.
We are now producing about

Air
Power

1000 transport planes a month,
perhaps q third Of them Of tho
DC-S tps used hv the air
lines.
Presumably We have BY this
time produced some $4,000
transport aircraft.
Restitution Of their $50
planes 10 the air hnss would
dent the total by only ! per
cent, but II would do wonders
In opening transport bottle
necks inside the country which
are definitely hanpering the
home front war effort and eff
cheney.
There would be no problem
IN manning the extra planes.
1t has been revealed that
our air forces are eurtailing the
training of pilots and techni-
clans; about 10000 seasoned
instructors and $4,000 young
men are being turned back TO
army ground forces.
MO GENERAL ever feels that
~ he has enough soldiers.
No admiral ever has enough
ships.
No airman feels that he has
enough planes.
All the same, the phrase
military necessity" should not
be permitted TO cut into our
domestic life to the point where
national efficiency is en-
dangered.
Americas advantage In this
super-technological war is in its
greater output, higher levels of
research, speed. ability to use
machines instead of human
lives TO promote victory.
If the home front is neg
lected and disorganized. the
fighting fronts must feel it and
must pay for it with lives.
The concept of military ne
cessity should be extended 10
embrace the home front.
Air lines are not luxuries but
absolute necessities.

Answer to Question No.

Answer to Question No. l
Statistics show if young men
and women from about % up
have believed once or twice be-
fore being engaged they were
in love, IL Is an asset. II indi-
Gates they have friends OF the
opposite sex and have learned
something about the problems
Of loving and being loved. This
should not encourage boys and
girls to get into all kinds of
love affairs. OF course some
childhood sweethearts" remain
sweethearts forever after but
this is rare. But II boy and girl
of % and over have had one or
two "puppy-loves' IL has aided
them in achieving some kind Of
standards for ultimately choos-
ing the right mate.
Answer to Question No. 2
Yes. This Is the first thing
you must do because your eyes
can only see while they are
standing still. Slow readers
make eight or ten jumps in
reading each line Of 10 or IL
words. Fast readers make only

WHEN Chester Bowles came
w here TO take over OPA he
made the stipulation that he
could quit any time If he de-
cided to revive an old ambition
to run for senator from Con-

function. Too many expect of
us that vast social conscious
ness which keeps us busy and
perhaps popular and In the
newspapers but leaves us no
time to save souls, 10 serve the
lonely and frightened, the OBJ
scure person who wants one
question answered. the sick at
heart, the sinner who must
know snC for sure that he has
not lost Gods grace by his
single error"
So l answered
'If I were a chaplain, I would
feel that had no other work
but TO be- the father and mother
and big brother OF that one boy
who needs just that at par
ticular moment.

and preachmenu about eterni-
ties hut would concentrate on
pulling over the hump that one
boy who had gone out on leave
and had rayished his soul and
frightened himself with his first
girI---a boy who needs God and
God alone at such q time.
would forget politics and
society and think only Of the
pressures OF conscience and the
fear Of death and the love of
mother. That Is q clergymsn's
business In life"
4 ND he agreed and he told me
"A of how he and other chap
lains have turned their backs
on creedal differences and have
forgotten the UNCONVENTIONAL
hatreds Of centuries but serve
together 10 heal the wounded OF
spirit and serve together TO
bring Gods comfort 10 the
needy--not the physical needy
but 10 those who had never
been away from home before,
who had never been alone and
on their own before, who had
lived the lives OF protected in
nocence.
And il is surprising how
many American boys are like
that-he-men who walk strong
and work hard but who live
clean with old-fashioned cleanli-
ness.
And these boys need and
want the comforts OF religion in
this war. We talked of decad-
ence and delinquency but he
brushed rch Of il aside as
really insignificant. for what he
found was that American boys
are clea and wholesome and
will come out Of this war clean
and wholesome.
They turn TO religious wor-
ship naturally and although
they may not wear their good
ness on their sleeves as a lover
might carry his torch. they
like worship and they like to
speak of things of the spirit,
not SYSTEMATICALLY nor in COM
pick Nhilosophic language but
plainly in the tongue of the
faltering people.
More Americans will say
grace at meals after this war,
he felt, than at any time In
these years. And they will be
saying il out of real thankful
ness for having gone through
the valley of constant fear and
coming out Of IL alive and
secure. w..

WASHINGTON, May 10
w Along about this time
every year a certain amount OF
dissension develops in our little
home, or hovel, as the neighbors
call il.
This discord arises from the
annual debate as TO where we
will go on vacation, and whether
we have money enough TO go
any place at ell. The little
woman is always certain we
haven't enough dough TO go
vacationing, and the only eX-
PLANTATION ! can find for her
attitude is that we haven't.
The joint was all contention
again yesterday because we
were entertaining Mr.. Bill
Mason. the big General Tire &
Rubber Co. man from Akron. O..
and his beautiful wife Vera.
Mrs. Mason touched it off by
declaiming that Bill-who obvi-
ously is not a strong character
about the home-had taken her
on a business trip to Mexico
City.
Mr.. Mason promptly choked
over his noggin of rum and SAID
the little woman had been a
wondrous help to him on his
assignment and undoubtedly had
contributed much TO cementing
hemispherical relations.
MATTERS did not improve
WI materially when ] said
"Why shouldn't II be a good
constructive idea II we took sep
arate vacation this year,"
The little woman made a
noise which l can only describe
as ferocious.
"Any man who would even
think of such thing" she
snarled, sis a hound of the first
water. No-don't try to be
smart. I know q hound isn't
of any water. You can save
your cheap gags for the stuff
you foist of on the public.
Where did you ever hear Of
any man doing a trick like
that"
Well" I said. timidly. II
sort Of heard something like
that about a man named Roose-
Welt. He has Just returned from

brown and At. and i understand
he did not lug his missus along
