good. What a world of sweetness and
light this would be if everybody would
recognize that fact, and find the road
to goodness In being agreeable, says
Ohio State Journal. The doctrine
would be truer than one could find in
any moral philosophy. Evil and pet-
ulance grow from the same bad root
and they are sure to blend in human
experience. So that every person who
finds he is disagreeable may well ejac-
ulate, "Hold there. I’m bad.” Of

AIR SERVICE OF ARMY.
The air service of the United States
army offers wonderful possibilities at
the present time. The airplane’s de
velopment Is In the future; the past
will be as nothing compared to Its
accomplishments in the years to
come. Today we are following with
eager interest the arrangements for
the proposed transatlantic flight. A
new employment, airplane mechanics,
will be In evidence. They will have to
be the best and will, therefore, com
mand the highest wages. When your
automobile has “trouble" you stop and
fix it. If your future airship mal-
functions you will have to reach the
ground before you stop. Before flying,
therefore, a machine must be thor
oughly tested In every part to see that
everything Is right. The man who en
lists In the air service of the United
States army today will go Into It at a
time w hen Its development Is to be the
greatest, says Portland Express. He
will become familiar with everything
concerning the science and at the end
of his three years’ period of enlist
ment will come out of it a superme-
chanic. in addition, he will be able
to embark In the airplane profession at
a time when the flying era will be in
its infancy, and he can grow up with IL
