Bishop of the British aero plane squadron, and who is credited with bringing down forty-five German aircraft. In an address before the Canadian Club at Montreal, he char acterized as unfortunate the advertis ing which has been given the United States Government's aircraft program. Germany, learning of America's inten tions, has speeded up her aircraft pro duction declares Major Bishop, with the result that during the next few months Great Britain and France will have "to face the most terrible time they have yet faced and especially from the point of view of war in the air." Tho American newspapers' boast of the airplane activity being carried on'here as a future potent factor in de ciding the war, has no doubt excited Germany to supreme endeavor along the same line, and before airplane force can be brought to bear upon them, they will have taken appalling toll from the allied armies on the Western front. Great is the freedom of the press, but greater still would be the balance in our favor in this world war if it could be completely muzzled when it comes to belching forth mil itary secrets. Taken to task by a Portland attorney for giving preferential front page space to an associated Press report of the President's address, and the exclu sion of the address proper from that page to one on the inside of the paper, the Portland Oregonian replies that it is "not printed to suit the whimsies of fincky readers." Which, in light of the fact that all other papers gave the message front page importance, leads us to conjecture that the Oregonian may feel that its front page is of sec ondary importance, anyhow. of a lever, Monday morning. It would appear that the gruesome newspaper accounts of the world carnage is suffi cient to satisfy even the morbidly curious. The Press man has been informed of gastronomic feats of a certain country editor hitherto considered sane men tion of whose name is unnessary. He is said to be setting a Hooverized pace that if followed by all would release every bushel of wheat and every ton of meat for shipment to the allies. The original cuss simply camouflages his appetite with 0. K. ice cream. Enough small coins should be shaken out of the toy banks in this country to relieve the present stringency in pennies, nickels and dimes a strin gency that is keeping the United States mints working 84 hours every day including Sunday, turning out "change." A thousand Hobsons would work Wonders in forcing an entrance to the Kiel canal and the mortality might not be greater than results from an in fantry charge on the Western front. With corn at $1.50 per bushel and pork out o' sight, that once humble dish of the humble, "hog and hominy" has entered the list of luxuries. With the discovery, of the German dye formula, it is presumed that val entine supplies will again assume nor mal proportions. The "pungent paragraph" becomes repugnant when it compares the suff rage movement to an organization of hatchet wielders. POSTURE OF WOMEN. Ferndale has joined the Red Cross.

Miss Jessie B. Merrick, director Of physical education for women la the University of Washington, Insists that every woman's home or office be a la boratory of health. She points out that there was a time when woman's house hold duties were so varied that all her muscles were- brought Into play. Work has become so highly specialized, how ever, and woman has taken her place so actively In tho business world with man that she Is deprived of the oppor tunity to live a rational life in which sho would exercise every part of the body in accordance with its natural functions. Good posture Is to be thought about. It depends upon the malntenace of nat ural conditions of life. Some health specialists attribute all abnormalities of health to bad posture. Depressed mental condition, ill fitting clothing and poorly adapted furniture all con tribute to a slouchy sitting or standing posture. Bad posture is blamed for such dis eases as sciatica and lumbago. Good posture represents Initiative, courage, responsibility, self control and self direction.

There are In the world many un usual and unique occupations, but per haps the strangest of all which pays a good Income Is that of a New York newspaper man who enrns, In addition i to his regular salary from the paper, rather regular amounts from the pub lishers of dictionaries, encyclopedias and other such volumes. His occupa- tlon Is the inventing of new words. The casual observer would be In clined to remark that the English lan guage already possesses enough words for all uses without the invention of I nnv now ones, and Drobnbl.V his state ment would be fact Nevertheless It is true that this man is paid substantial sums for Inventing new words to fit special phases, situations, occupations and occurrences, and that the publish ers of dictionaries will incorporate into fhmn nnv now word based on substan tial derivatives for the existence of which a plausible reason can be made. I Tho progress of modem business, and especially the discoveries that have been made in the Delds of electricity j and medicine In the last decade, have bean responsible for the Incorporation Into the language or many new worus.

Abandon Food Prejudices. Don't be finicky. Be willing to try new foods. Certain plentiful and nour ishing foods widely used and enjoyed in one section are practically unknown in other sections of the country. Learn to know all the good things, not a few only. People too easily got into food ruts; Insist on eating only the food tboy are used to and refuse to give a fair trial to others. This causes undue demand for certain staples, with resulting scarcity or high prices when crops are short At the same time other valuable foods may be relatively cheap and available. A striking Instance of this Is failure fully to appreciate rice a valuable source of starch when pota toes arc scarce and high. Another ox ample Is refusal in certain sections to use anything but wheat as a bread stuff, when corn a valuable cereal widely used elsewhere as a breadstuff -Is plentiful and relatively cheap.
