It's one of the practical reasons, of course like the quick, clean, electrical heat, the freedom from fuel and ashes, the better roasts and buking. But after all, these might be a man's rea sons for equipping his home with an elec tric range. Woman's reasons go deeper. If you wish to see what every woman thinks of clean, convenient, efficient electrical appliances throughout the home, notice the pride with which she says, "MY' elec tric range."

A detailed statement of the current appropriations will also be given by him. lie to the broad considerations of public policy af fecting the whole government, ap propriations are Insufficient to carry out the approved war de partment program, but that situa tion exists in other services as well. Within the department, the air service appropriation in recent years has been consUfently favored sometimes at the expense of other services, to sum up, after a fairly Intimate association with them for three years, I do not hesitate to assert that our air service officers and men are competent, efficient, loyal and patriotic. Aims of Service Detailed i "In peace, the primary m Us ion of I the air service, as of all the other ! Services, Is to carry out the in I Junction of first commander In chief, George Washington: 'In time ! of peace, prepare for war.' This is 1 accomplished by: "1. JJcveloplag its personnel and material to the highest efficiency ; and assisting in the development of the air service branches of the national guard and the organised reserves. ! "2. Preparing plans of action ( for the mobilization of personnel I and procurement of material in ac ; cord a nee with mobilization and I war plans of the war department 'The secondary measure in peace Is to promote In every pos ' Bible way the welfare, progress i and prosperity of "our country. ! "In war, the measure of the air ; service ts: As a fighting arm with com bination of the other fichtfng ariua, to wm the victory and bring about teace,- as quu kly, as effectively and a cheaply in livs and money as Is humanly pocalbte.

' No Standard Craft Yet "We mum have a sufficient num. ' ber of qualified manufacturers of ! aircraft to design aud build planes of the latest type in sufficient quantities in case we are forced into war. iJUe to rapid develop ' uients, aircraft cannot yet be stan daidued and the unit cost is neo : (rbbaiily hifch. The government I should pay a price which will en able uiauufactureis to make a fair i and reasonable profit. Until the iu : durftry is established, I believe that ! the restrictions governing the I method of governmental purchas ing might well be relaxed tempor arily under proper safeguards." -i Jiscussmg the possible war-time need for planes. Mr. Davis con ; tinued: I "it has been thoroughly under : stood that there would be neces i sary a grtat enlargement of manu I laciuriiic facilities, w hich now I exist. Surveys of all existing lac- ; turies either have been made or in ! progress and in some cases the I manufacturers have made definite approved plans for such expan J sions. I "The requirements of the air i service in time of war have been ' computed as carefully as possible , and have been reduced to terms of j raw material. This has been a task of great difficulty, due, among oth jer things, to the rapidly changing I types of aircraft, but it is proposed j tu keep this study up to date and actually to allocate to the different lactones the war time work which tluy must do and to make provls I ion for securing for them the nec ! eri.Hary supplies of raw materials, 'l inn ht what we call industrial war planning and the air service phase ; of it is very complex. Mr. Davis pointed out fhe army and navy joint board had turned llu U.ialfknmtnt nr riflil (ttrl. gibtles to the navy, but stated that the "approved plun fur the organi sation of the air service provides for a certain amount of iighter- I than air craft, which It Is believed will be of value in military opera tions." H peeffic recommendations for bettei merits and economies in tin? air service, Mr. !avis said, pre- ' xeuttnl a "broad subject", which he ' would request the privilege of dis easing mure fully at a later time. The department's policy of the or ganization and development of the air service, he said, was set forth ' in the Lassiter board report, a copy of hich would be furnished , the board. The acting secretary, however, had these broad recom mendations to lay before the board at this time: Davis' Recommendations "The; rehcarch and development of advanced tyis of aircraft, which, as shown by the flying rec ords, has been wisely, efficiently ; ami economically conducted by the . air service should bo continued and when funds permit, expanded, j "Additional personnel and ma ' terial should be made available for the air service when government Jiin.inces permit, but not at the ex- pense of other vital needs of the i department. "A large reserve of flyers should I b( built up whn funds permit I "Any duplication of army and j navy service Installation, if any : still exist, should be eliminated. ! "An additional brigadier-general should be authorized by con egress to head the supply section I of the air service and to develop , tho industrial prepardness plan. "Restrictions on the method of ! government purchases of airplanes j should temporarily be relaxed, un ; der pro(Hr safeguards. "A clear delineation of the mis sions of the ur my and navy In coast j defense should be adopted. "The jtenuanent housing bill. In troduced by the war department I during the last congress, should be ! adopted, to alleviato conditions !iow existing in many posts may be Improved.
