The ban on the installa tion of engines in aeroplanes, im posed by the peace terms, has pro duced a new type of locomotion. This is the astonishing news brought home by Mr. Handley Tage. who has been paying a visit i to Garsfeld, on the Bavarian bor der. "German aeroplane constructors have turned their attention to the development of aircraft with no engine propelling power," said Mr. Handley Page, "aiAl they are pro ducing substantial results. The rllders are of various types. One called the Munch has made the longed flight of five miles. It has no engine, propeller, under-carri- age, wheels, alterons or elevators It possesses simply the fuselage and movable wings, operated by the pilot. "Another machrne. called the Hanover, has given the best per formance in turning in the air and Is peculiar in that It lands on two footballs and has pneumatic shock absorbers attached to the wings. The Aachen type lands on skftnt instead of wheels. Shock ab sorbers are fltU'.l, but the landing speed of the glider can be reduced to little more than a fast walk, and wheels become unnecessary. "The method of launching ma chines for a flight is very Interest ing. The machine Is placed on a suitably selected piece of sloping ground. A rubber cord Is attached to a rope, which Is passed round the chassis legs. Three men strain the rubber cord, which, when it reaches the necessary tension, is released, and the machine Is shot away as from a catapult."

Drug Traffic Held Menace Of Nation's Life Waxhlneton. Nov. 19 Under ground traffic in drugs, developing startlingly in recent years, pas oe come a Berious menace to the wel fare of the nation, in the opinion f federal officials. The illegitimate traffic in nar otie is comlucttU by the so-called "dope peddlers," who appear to tav a perfectly organized, country-wide "ring." These drug venders, for the most part, obtain their "dope" supplies from Mexico and Canada, although mailer quantities are obtained by thefts and illegal transactions with unscrupulous dealers. Con siderable drug smuggling is prac ticed on both the Atlantic and Pa eific coasts, where the fdrugs ar rive on ships hailing from the Ori ent and Europe. The smuggling problem has de veloped a perplexing situation. It has been ascertained that a large portion of the drugs that enter this country through Illicit chan nels was shipped from the United States, after manufacture, by re putable firms. I The belief has been expressed that the headquarters of the ex tensive "dope ring" is located out side the United States and that they obtain (he drugs shipped from this country with the express Intention of smuggling the "dope" back for illegal sale. It Is largely through these un- To the Editor: Replying to To the Editor: Case cf State (Continued from page one) the letter of the governor of No vember 10, an investment a new word for loot. The investment is )0 doubt good for L. M. Kuser to lome from Iowa to Oregon for icat'ly double the salary that he .ecelves in Eldora, Iowa. I don't olume him for making the change. Jut how are Olcott and Kozer jus titled in getting Kuser? Is he to iiulld or construct the new build ings? It is generally supposed ihut an architect is employed to draw plans and superintend the construction work. As to the moulding of churacter when the buildings are finished, they ac knowledge that Mr. and Mrs. Gil bert are most exemplary citizens, and have for the .past four years been more successful than any in charge of the school for the past twenty years. The increase In salary offered Mr. Kuser and wife is nothing .uore than a graft. The board also went to the soldiers' home and raised the salaries nearly double and two years ago Mr. Kozer fav ored the raising of salaries of the Wolf Creek, Or., Nov. 16, 1921. Editor Capital Journal, Salem, Or. In your issue of The Capital Journal of Nov. 4, '21, you print a list of the number of slackers in Oregon. I do not see what the Journal can gain by printing the names of these men the Legions call slackers. It is - three years since the war closed, why keep on agitating the country about the slackers? All this agitation is more or less in the way of bring ing the country, back to normal cy. Not one of these-men we call slackers would have been a slack er had there been an invasion or even an attempted invasion of our country. I have long believed that not one of our boys was sent over t oEurope to fight for the United States, they were sent over there to fight for England, France, Italy, Belgium and Russia, and for the benefit of Wilson and our big profiteers. All this talk we have heard about making the world safe for democracy was purely Wilson of asking the judge for a direct ed verdict in favor of Todd. : , George H. gasman of Salem the last witness for the govern ment, and when he left the stand the jury was having a good laugh over oil, i boots and $1000. Aus- man almost turned the dignified hal ot justice into a comedian's palace when he explained to ihe Jury how he dug out an old pair of shoes, and oiled them up and hud caulks put in, in order that he phreys wanted this testimony in the record to prove to the jury that Todd continued to collect money after he knew Byron was an ex-convict. One of these vie-1 tims who took the stand after Miss Barratt was W. C. Young of Sa lem, who said he gave Todd $1500 on January 29, or over a month later. , Claims of victims of Byron and Todd who gave their money for a worthless contract after December 5, 1919, total $7000, according to a tabulation kept of the testi mony.

A recent government survey dls bunk. Never can the world be safe for democracy until we improve the human race and eliminate fro mthe human animal the in stlnct ot greed and the Instinct to fight and quarrel. It will require the lapse of thousands of years be fore the race can be Improved to make the world safe for all the nations of the earth. Man is as yet only a few generations remov ed from the cave man. The United States was never in any danger of an Invasion and had we spent one fourth of what the war cost us for submarines and home defense all the nations of the world could not have invad ed us. Had England at the start of the world war raised an army of S. 000, 000 of men and had them on the western front at the time when Austria broke down. Ger many could not have withdrawn her men from the western front to help and save Austria from de feat and once Austria defeated Germany would not have lasted j long and the war would have been over in two years after it started. It Is alleged on fairly good author ity why England did little fight ing until Russia broke down, is. that she had the promise from one Morgantown. W. Va.

Farrell, glxtv-eight ' "s the "'"8" administration en- worried over an unnald bill oflte on 1,8 second term war supreme court so he might stand more popular and have their in fluence for promotion. The whole program of the board Is graft. The majority of the state board say they have determined to re place the present superintendent and matron with persons they be lieve much more qualified and fit- led to handle the work. They have pondered the problems in connec tion with their v.Ip back east to lind some one wanting '.he job. No doubt Mr. Kuser is a fine man aud competent, but with Oregon's fine schools, colleges, etc., they could of found home material Just as good. The time has coma to call a halt on increase of salaries and grafts on the taxpayer, jo-o more bonds for fairs or anything else to burden the taxpayers. If necessary the farmers, grangers and heavy taxpayers will push a recall on the majority of the board of control.

The people will stand by Hoff in all that is right. R. R. RYAN. claim Ausman Not Caught. "So you are out some oil and a pair of Bhoes," said Todd's attor ney in trying to overcome the Im pression Ausman had made on the jury. "Yes," answered Ausman, "and $1000 also." The testimony of W. E. Park, Salem grocery clerk, had exactly the opposite effect on the jury. As a result ot his statements Todd re ceived a sharp, repulsive stare from Judge Bean, which practical ly everyone in the court room no ticed. Park testified to calling Todd on the telephone on February SO, 1920, and requesting the return of his $500, which he had borrowed in the court room testified he gave Todd a $500 check on January 20. L. P. Aid rich, assistant cashier at the Ladd & Bush bank, was the only other Salem wtiness on the stand Fri day afternoon. He identified cer tain checks which passed through his hands. That the defense played its trump card in Todd's favor by ex cluding all witnesses from the court room, is evidenced by the statements of two witnesses at the conclusion of the government's case. "Well, what do you think of the trial," ttey were asked at the con clusion of the case. "We don't known anything about it," one of them responded.

WANT ADS PAT in order to take out a contract. Todd, he said, asked him what was the matter, accused him of getting cold feet, and stated Byron was a man of great wealth and able to pay back three times the amount Salemites had given him. Todd Led Him On. "It wouldn't be a grat misfor tune if you lost that amount any way," Park said Todd asked him. Park said he .explained that it would, as he was in ill health and bad do finances of his gwn. Todd, he declared, encouraged him further by stating that his Drotuer, Dr. E. H. Todd, has just sold his claim the previous una for $20,000, which he thought a very foolish act, as within a short time it would have been worth double that amount. When Park completed this statement Todd got his piercing stare from the judge. To contradict previous state ments ot Todd that Byron was the victim of the big timber interests because he had gathered evidence for the government in the Hyde- Benson land fraud cases, the gov ernment prosecutor called Judge C. A. Millerich, a member of the board of review of the general land of gee, to the witness stand. Judge Millerich stated that Byron had never furnished the govern ment any information in any crim inal or civil matter and particu larly In the Hyde-Boeon tp."tes, and added that -ron bore very unfavorable reputation In the land office. Court Eecord Used. Blanche Barratt, court reporter at Todd's civil trial in Salem, read considerable from the records ot that trial. The government asked her to read Todd's testimony where fce confessed that on Decem ber 4, 191 S, he returned to his of fice and found Byron waiting for him, and stated that on that occa sion he first learned Byron's crim inal record. United States Attorney Hum- By excluding all government witnesses from the court room, defense attorneys made sure that none of , Todd's friends deserted him during the trial.
