OUR ARMY AEROPLANEB.
The most obvious military lesson
taught by the. experience of our said
tors in Mexico has been the need of
good aeroplanes. Our army aviators
themselves seem to deserve no criti-
cism; they have done well with the
equipment they were provided with.
That equipment prove to have been in. ‘
otl'lclent ev: n for lllldl a comparatively .
small campaign as our punitive expe-’
ditlon has undertaken.
The aeroplanes at the disposal o
the army were untitled for the task.
Scouting duty in northern Mexico re-
quires aircraft with powerful engines,
to enable them to take the high alli-
tnlea. climbing easily over the moun-
tain tops and bucking the shifting air
currents that prevail in that region.
The planes provided lacked the neces-
sary power. Thus their usefulness
was limited, the aviators them sclvaa
were exposed needlessly to peril from 9
flying low. making easy marks for
snipers. and from frequent forced
landings in a wild, broken country.
the defect is now being remedied.
It. might have been remedied during
the long months while the army was
encamped along the Mexican border,
with just such a campaign in prospect.
Ntunately there have thus far been
no disastrous results. The partial
\ failure of our aviation corps will be
worth while If it points the way to
genuine aerial preparedness. on a
scale demanded by modern war meth-
Ods. in both our army and navy.

A tragic «influence was the suicide
d Dr. Tm? B. Sachs of Chicago.
Dr Sacha, interested above all things
in the precent and cure of tuberculo
sh, laid urged the building of s muni-
cipal sanitarium for the care of Chi-
.1agu's \it'lmp of the white plague.
For sel en years Dr Saihs was head
of this hospital. He became an intelh
national authority on the subject of
tuberculosis. lie refused. from time
‘to time offers 0 (positions which

tIiC and private work combined. He
llovtil this work. It was his life.
And then. he lay down on a couch
‘and took morphine, leaving a state-
ment to the people of Chicago in

[and the poor. Unscrupulous politi-

heritage of the people"
i Whether or not Dr. Sachs was quite
instilled in taking his own life because
he was. as he said. ‘Simply wesry,’ is
not here at question. nut is it not a
ipity that any man who loves his work
for the people's good should find him-
self obliged to tight politicians a well

be made so much harder than it
should have been that long before his

he should become so weary of the use-

That this is the moving season is
attested by the fact that the second
news story of a baby moved in a clol-
ed folding bed has just been printed.
.This baby was a month old and lived
:in Waverly. Ohio. its mother laid it
.down. and the unobserving movars
shut up the bed and carted it off.
Tile baby was rescued three hours
in ter, none the worse for its exper-
lance. This is not. howeVer, an argu
ment for leaving babies on folding-
bcds on moving day. it merely shows
how tough it baby may be who is rals
d in Ohio.

possible for him to till orders on tha

increased cost of materials.
The retailer is a bit fortunate for
he has two alternatives. His one best

he pays 816.00 or $16 50. is to elimin-
ate this grade and substitute 81800
