Air Tragedies , Destruction of the navy dirigible Shenandoah following the disappearance in mid-Pacific of the naval plane P. N. 9 No. 1 in her attempt to fly to Hawaii again centers attention upon the United States air service and the charges of neglect and inefficiency made by Colonel Mitchell, demoted head of the Army Air Service, who again declares the service "rotten." Air service has become the principal branch, of national defense in all nations except the United States where the bureaucrats of the army and navy grudgingly utilize it as little as possible as an auxiliary service. The great lesson of the war, was the supremacy of aircraft which have rendered obsolete both fortress and battleship. Yet the United States keeps on blindly building warships and starves the aerial navy. Hardly one of the great powers that does not outclass this nation in the air. The Shenandoah was the only military dirigible in the possession of the United States. She was built upon lines accepted as safe. The Los Angeles is not constructed for military uses and cannot be so utilized and the only lighter than air ship left is the non-rigid blimp at Lakehurst, New Jersey. Other branches of war air service are in similar depleted condition. The Shenandoah is the first rigid airship the navy has lost, only because it was the first one possessed. The ZK 2 which broke in two over Hull, England, August 24, 1921, with the loss of 44 lives, was still in possession of the British builders and had not been accepted when lost. The destruc tion was due to inherent weakness developed in the effort to develon a craft that would go faster, higher and with a greater lead than the German Zeppelins, upon which the Shenandoah was modeled. Until the air service is segregated from army and navy departments, and made a seperate branch of national defense, under control of airmen, as it should be, because more im portant than either army or navy, we can expect such tragedies of the air as those of the past few weeks, the result of bureaucratic experimentation. "Couldn't get you a compart ment sorry!" he exclaimed as he gave them to her. "Perhaps when you're on the train here, boy! He rushed Patricia through the gates and on to the Pullman, a heavily laden porter following in their wake. She had always loved the bustle and confusion of the great railway station, the crowds of arriving and departing people, the messenger boys, porters, officials, all seemed to her to be imbued with some fes tive spirit. Embarking on e cross country train had seemed a delight ful undertaking. But today her heart was heavy. There was hardly time for Andrew to kiss her hastily before a warn ing call sent him hurrying out of the car, and un Instant later the train began to rumble slowly out of the station. Patricia sighed, and bit her lips to keep back the tears. Determined not to cry, she began to arrange the things Andrew had brought her. Tho hard sour candles that were tho only kind one could eat on a train, a" tiny bottle of smell ing salts, n small perfume atomizer filled with lavender water, that would relieve the air of its smoky taint, two new novels and several magazines Andrew was attentive, at least, she reflected, and opened one of the books. A single sheet of paper met her eye: "I hope these books will bo what you want for your wife, Mr. Uleve; the other things are in a separate package which the boy will bring you lat er," was typed neatly on it, and his secretary's initials were signed be low. So she had been sent out to get these little last-minute remem brances. Of course, Andy wouldn't have time to get them himself , still Patricia set her mouth hard. Half an hour later books, smelling salts and nil had been given to the. porter, with instructions that tney were to be passed on to tho little gray-haired woman nt the end of ing to read. Bored, Patricia stared out of the window at the roofs of the Bronx, with their network of aertal9- everybody In tho world must have a radio nowadays, she reflected! She opened her handbag to be 'sure that her tickets were safe -and saw the watch that Gregory- He witt had sent her that morning! She had meant to speak to Andrew about returning it for her and here It was! M " "Oh, It must go back " without realizing what she was doing, .she looked over her shoulder, as it ex pecting her husband miraculously to appear. "I can't send It back Andrew will have to. I can mail It to him " but how hard It would be to explain In a letter that she had lost her watch when she was with Hewitt, and-that this one was mere ly a token of appreciation! Andrew would wonder, of course. She curled up In a corner of the scat and tiled to word a note that would explain convincingly. Just what could she say? Of course An drew would believe her still, he had been so disagreeable about her going out with Hewitt And suddenly, like a genii out of tho bottle, Gregory Hewitt lean ed ovor the arm of the seat und spoke to her. Tomorrow Di-ciwr nntl Deeper! Portello was seen with a bootle of moonshine, but when approached by Manning the former showed a star and askod Immunity. Man ning refused. MAN CLAIMING HE IS OFFICER HAS LIQUOR McMinnville, Or., Sept. 3. Frank E. Portello of Portland, who insisted he was a deputy sher iff ot Multnomah county, and his companion, A. T.

The expected visit dur ing the California diamond jubilee celebration of a unique band of Orogonians, tho Cave Mon, an or ganization of business men of Grunts Pass has been cancelled It was uunounced yesterday. The primitive order was going 10 bring their bear skin and set up shop here durin the celebration which opens next Saturday. Now it is whispered that these original cave men of Oregon can't come to help celebrate because their wives won't let them. PURCHASE OF WATER PLANT CHIEF ISSUE f Continued from Page One nish the basis for a prevailing val uation. Dr. Steeves averred that the pres ent procedure Is "getting the cart before the horse" and that tho pos sibility and cost of getting moun tain water should bo taken up be fore the question of municipal own ership. He frankly declared him self opposed "first, last and all the time" against municipal own ership as long as water is to be ob tained from the Willamette river. Kay Held Obstructionist Mr. Kay agreed with Steeves, and Mr. Putnam took Issue with both of them, declaring that the first Issue should be that of muni cipal ownership, that the Salem wator company Is financially un able, in extensions .of the plant, to keep up with the growth of the city. He declared that the moun tain water proposal was "all bunk," told Kay that he knew It was and accused Kay ot trying to multiply the Issues so municipal ownership would be defeated at the polls. Isadora Greenbaum, who was e member of one of the original com mlttees that considered the ques tion a dozen years ago, endorsed Putnam's argument. Chairman Deckebach and Mr. Putnam declnred -that mountain water would cost the consumers five or six times as much as the present supply. City Ptnnuelug Easier Pr. II. H. Ollnger was incllnod to bo against municipal ownership. Ho declared that if a private com pany cannot make the necessary extensions the city would face tho some difficulty. This brought on a discussion of the money market, Mr. Putnam and others pointing out that tho city could obtain money at 4 or D per cent, while a private company must pay 8 or more. Mr. Kay said he had Infor mation that the Salem Water com pany is already making arrange ments to got money in event it keeps the plant. D. J. lYy, Sr., urged that the solo question of municipal ownership bo placed before the voters. Mayor Glesy was challenged to give a few reasons why the city Woman's Statemenfwill Help Salem "t luitfwl ronkinir because all I ato turned sour and formed gas. r rifnnk tint wjilnr and olive oil by the gallon.

The shortage of water, he declared, Is more serious than the public realizes. The longer the purchase Is deferred, he said, the more expensive It will be to ac nulre tho plant. Glesy, Putnam and It. J. Hendricks mentioned various cltlos that own water plants, de claring that the water systems arc money-makers :n an ol mem nnu THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 192b easily carry their own extension burdens.
