Needless to say, there w ere innum erable recruits clam oring to become proficient air men so ns to render good service to their country in the m atter of reconnolterluK and iu scouting work.

Again, th e explanations and instruc tions are more readily conveyed than In the ease of the average biplane, w here you do not get in close proxim i ty. as th e pupil nnd teacher do not sit side by side. Practice proceeds in w inds np to tw enty m iles an hour. Mr. B eatty does not believe in giving his studen ts experiences on the biplane only. ITe also utilizes the monoplane for Interm ediate trials. Mr. Bentt.v Is n big favorite w ith ills pupils. The Spokane Spokesman Re view in speaking of the coming sessions of the Oregon, Washing ton and Idaho legislatures says “Economy must be the watch word. The legislators will do well to remember always that they represent, not themselves, but their constituents. The peo ple are likely this winter to keep close tab on their legislatures. It is their duty and their advan tage to do so.” AN APPALLING DEFENSE OF MODERN WARFARE w ith which he hud hoped to cross the Atlantic, was apisdntcd com m ander of tiie aerodrom e, w hile Claude (Srahame- W hlte was given a commission as flight lieutenant iu the navy.

As has been the case iu so m any other d ep art m ents of the state, n complete change took place in the appearance of this most im portant adjunct of British de fenses, nnd thus it cam e about that George B eatty cam e upon bis great opjiortunlty. Grabanie-W hite, finding it w as nee essary to devote his first attention to th e training of pupils for the navy di rect. had to look elsew here for n school w here lay pupils conld com plete their flying apprenticeship. No better man could have been fotiud than B eatty to tak e over tills surplus from the G ra tia m e-W hite school, and the aspirants w*re duly transferred to the B eatty school Mr. B eatty was equal to the occasion and quite in his elem ent. He a t once took these students in hand nnd gave them some good practice on th e biplane, a m achine w ith tw o pro pellers. T he dual control o f this type of m a chine renders th e tuition of pupils ex ceptionally rapid and thorough. Each lesson oreuples about fifteen m inutes, and the student of svlatlon sits side by vide w ith his tutor, keenly observing ois every move.

Falling hack on exploded and forgotten M althus, his point is th at il we let hum anity increase in peace, we shall starve: “We must not close our eyes to the fact that there are fewer than thirty million square miles of land suitable for the support of mankind on the globe. Centuries of experience shows that this land will not support more than a hundred persons per square mile; so that the world’s population would seem to be limited to three billions. Already the earth’s population exceeds half this limit. If all nations are to cease preparations for war and concentrate their energies in the pursuit of peace and happiness, the world’s population will be more than three billions in less than a single generation. Obviously, if the world’s population is not kept down by war, it will be restricted by other means, etc. 160 acres 5 miles from Corning, on a good road, hog tight fences, 6 room old house, barn, 2 good springs,good soil all level but 5 acres, all has been cultivated, price $40 acre.

In the first place, “centuries of experience” are w orth less in view of the fact th at the world has not yet begun to learn the possibilities of the soil in supporting life. The arbitrary limit of a hundred people to the square mile is absurd. Belgium supports 580 people to the square mile in prosjrerity and comfort—or did before a wicked w ar blasted it—and Holland 4T6.
