one of, th is nation's most ire

For that reason, it is too bail
that he eiinnot be persuaded to
exereise reasonable caul ion.
An aeeidenl to Colonel 1iinl
hergh would ln as l'resident
Hoover has said, a great blow
to the affections of the United
States."
It would also be a threat blow
to aviation in the I'nited Sta
tes, which perhaps interests
Colonel Lindberirh more.
It would eheek the progress
of aviation seriously, aroiisinir
great distrust.
When Colonel Lindbergh was
stunting recently at Cleveland,
he amused himself swooping
downward, almost to the
pround at terrifie speed, sud
denly turnini; upward.
A competent engineer watch
ing the stunt said, "his plane
weighs 2,000 pounds. The stunt
just performed puts a terrific
strain on the wings and other
parts, equivalent to changing
the weight of the .plane 'from
2,000 po u nds to 30,000
pounds."
Xapoleon was not ashamed
to semi word to 1'nrin Hint for
the sake of Knine.o mid the

Important, and neglected, is
the task of fighting forest fiiw.
Chemists and airplanes .should
combine to solve that jrohleni.
.Mr. (i'i)od, secretary of war,
speak mi; with president Hoo
ver's authority, says the conn
try is prepared to spend hun
dreds of millions in Addition to
fifteen .. hundred ..millions ..al
ready spent for harbour and
liver improvements. The sec
retary says: "the government
will link together every part
pf the country with a chain of
inland waterways, makini; one
fircat artery of trade:."
That 's tiood news. The peo
ple want national improve
ments, have plenty of money
mid, fortunately, they have a
president who is an enniiieer
and understands problems in
volved. He would rather attend to
ureal, permanent enterprises,
and let somebody else attend to
bootleg liipior.
