why housewives take such a.
natural pride in their electric
ranges.
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."
There is now an electric range in
one out of ei'cry seven houses on the
COPCO system.

considerations of public policy af
fecting the whole government, ap

carry out the approved war de

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.
"2. As a suppiy branch to de
velop and procure the equipment
and supplies pertaining t-xcluufve-ly
to the air service In such quan
tities as may be required- for itK
oiara lions.
Built For W.r Not Peace
"In considering these missions,
I believe one thoucht should al
ways be kept In mind, that the
. war mission mupt be th predomi
nant consideration. A policy might
bo adopted In any service which

"lu thf nlntlon to airplane man-'
ufaaurv, the war department is i
(convinced that a strong airplane!
I industry Is vital to the national do
I ft-use. The industry has been
ami viiik io ueam diuco uiv sr,
due to the fact that it has been de-j
pt-ndent solely on military orders,'
but 1 believe that a much brighter
prospect exists at present The war
department has done, and will do
everything in hs power to assist
the aircraft .Industry.
' 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.
"A bureau of civil air Investiga
tion should be established under
the department of commerce."
