Turn from the Past with Its
Old regret:
Harvest the wisdom and shot
the door;
Turp to the dawn when the
tin Is set.
Tarn from the chill . of the
Nevermore.
Learn to forget.
Is here a past with a. judgment-debt?
Do What you can, then, make
- your pledge;
And, turning away from the
memory-fret,
' Uve on the moment's brlt-
U edge.
Lean to forget.

AS TO AIRPLANE DANGER
ft HE dangers of the flyin?
game lire overestimated
by the general public.
Men do know say there is
scarcely More danger in an
aeroplane than in an auto. Ac
cidents seldom occur in our
training camps save, where the
rules of the air are not observ-
ed by amateur pilots, though
the case of Major Mitchel is an
exception to this rule. The
planes used in the training
camps in this country, and in
private flying, are well stabi
lized. The fighting planes
used in purope on the other
hand are built for action, not
safety. - They, are not well sta
bilized and the safety, of the
pilot is to his dexterity! 1 j
In part the public exaggerates'
the dangers of flying because,
being a new game, the acci
dents arc all published. An
airplane accident, at any of our
training camps is covered by
tne press associations. It
news, "Auto accidents are not
news, excepting in a local way.
Deaths from auto accidents
regularly outnumber many
times' over the deaths from fly
ing in this country. But the
press reports do not say any
thing "about such accidents
save on rare occasions. It is
routine news, not worthy carry
ing far m the wires.
In the course of time air
planes will.be in general use in
this country and deaths from
air trouble will be far heavier
than at present but little will
be said about such cases. Air
traveling will then be part of
the daily grind and neoDle will
take a certain number of acci
dents as a matter of course.
LEARNING THE GAME

tuiMuants or approxi
mately 20 per cent in
shipping weight and 50
per cent in shipping space
have resulted from improved
methods of packing merchan
dise for overseas practiced by
the Army Quartermaster
Corps. This s equivalent to
aDout z,5uu tons space per
month. J"! -c
For the shipment of cloth
ing and equipage, including
such items as blankets, barrack
bags, towels, shelter tent
halves, bedding, and other dry
goods, in addition "to wearing
apparel, baling has been sub
stituted for boxing, and the
weight of the lumber has been
saved. The bales average 30
by 15 by 15 inches and weigh
90 pounds. They are bound
with not less than four cold
rolled unannealed steel bands.
Burlap over , waterproofed
heavy paper is used to cover
the bale's, and there are two
"ears" on either ends of the
bale for handling.
Women are stevedores on the
docks in France. There is a
law they shall not be required
to carry packages weighing
more than 70 pounds. Pack
ages shipped to the American
Lxpeditionary Forces are stan
dardized so they shall not
weigh more than 70 pounds for
handling by one woman car
rier or more than 140 pounds
by two women earners. Men
handle the heavier packages
and the boxes .that must be
used instead of bales.

him into the ministry. So when Ai

Massachusetts, and slvted in to ful
fill his mother's hopes for a Lock
wood preaching the gospel.
The year 1898 marked his rarriage
to Miss Lottie M. C-Jmith of Brookline,
and his call to service as an Episco
pal minister In the west. He entered
this field at the request of Bishop
Wells, who wanted a man like Rev.
Lockwood to take up the work In
eastern Washington.
Rev. Lockwood spent six years In
Ellensburg. four in North Yakima,
and ten Years In Spokane before
coming to Pendleton last December.
It wasn't long before I'enaieton
discovered that here was a man who
could be successful In other lines be
sides the ministry, for when someone
was needed to he head of the War
Savings Stamp drive In the city. Rev.
Lockwood was chosen. And he help
ed Pendleton to go "over tne lop
