In a statement Issued by Howard E. Coffin, chairman of the Aircraft Production Board is the following: "In discussing the accomplish ments of the air service in the con summation of the Army program, it will be well to point out the Impos sibility of certain proposals enthu V, ml : IIM I tippgggffiglSjfegEKgi llTii r-L .....v.. siastically and persistently put for ward by word of mouth and in the press. We have seen and heard much of the proposal of '100,000 air planes' to be provided by the United States within the next year. Is a country where one great industry produces 1,500,000 motor cars per year, the fabrication of 100,000 planes might seem easy, hut actual figures based upon three years of practical experience In the war show that there are now between 40 and 60 men of the auxiliary services re quired for each active machine at the front. If this same ratio should be adhered to in our service, it would mean that some 4,000,000 men would i 1 SBRq Most Beautiful Car in America ... IHERE are many cars that sell for less money than the Paige. We could readily build them ourselves if we considered that policy the best one. But we aonc. We firmly believe that Self-Respect, Comfort and Enduring Satisfaction have an actual market value. So we build those things into our product We take just a little more time just a little more. care in selecting materials just a little more pride in our work. And the result is a red motor car not a makeshift or compromise. Unless we are greatly mistaken, the Paige "Six'39" is just the :kind of car that you want. It costs $1330 and it is worth every penny of the price. If you are truly Economical truly wise and careful it will be the car of your choice.

"Even though this number of men could be reduced by 50 per cent by increased efficiency and standardiza tion, the number required is still staggering. Consider, also, the over seas transportation problem aa rela ted to material only and without re ference to personnel and its mainten ance. The transportation of finished planes, properly crated, with the nec essary spares, accessories, and equip ment is in itself a serious problem, in view of the situation in ship ton nage." Most Dependency Discharges Were ( lor wu or lor wile ana j Children. I A statement by the Provost Mar shal General shows that of 859.150 j total discharges for dependency 743, 141, or 86.50 per cent, were for wife or wife and children; widowed par ent, 6.51 per cent; infirm parent, 5.75 per cent; motherless child, 0.66 per cent; minor orphan brothers and sisters, 0.58 per cent. Of the total of 1,057,363 men cer tified for service in the National Ar my 418,309, or 39.56 per cent, are listed as involuntar conscripts those who failed to appear or filed unsuc cessful claims for exemption or dis charge. Voluntary conscripts those who filed no claims for exemption or discharge numbered 639,054. Insignia on Shoulder Loops Denote Rank of Wearer.

The shoulder loop of a chaplain bears a Latin cross. Proportion of Men In Hospitals Less in .United States Than in Over seas Forces. A recent comparison of health re ports from troops in the United Sta tes and the Expeditionary Forces shows the admission rate to hospit als to be greater among the men in France. Admissions to hospitals in one week In the Expeditionary Forces, fig nred on a basis of 1,000 men, werb 45.2: in the United States the rate was 33.7 ner 1.000 men. In the over seas forces the noneffective rate (ine total number of men excused from duty for any injury or ailment. whether or not ordered to hospital) was 54.1 per thousand men; in the troops in the United States it was 46.4.
