Needless to say the Mail Tribune wants paid adver

And it does NOT want any paid war bond adver

And the newspaper advertising proposed in the
Bankhead bill would come under that heading, for
it would make such advertising on the part of the
government compulsory, in eveiy newspaper in the
country, daily and weekly, totally hundreds of thou
sands of dollars.
CORGET it
The administration does not want it the U .S.
Treasury is opposed to it, and the American press
should vigorously oppose it
If the Government or any agency in it wi&Hbo

needed and will pay, ok, let them buy the adver
tising in the regular way, in those papers and districts

But don't make it compulsory, all over the land,
don't include all newspapers daily and weekly; there
is enough waste and profiteering in this war, without
dragging the press into it as accessories and bene
ficiaries.
MOREOVER how about a free and independent
press, when some federal department president,
or a professional politician is given millions of dollars
to spend in newspaper advertising with authority in
each case to decide HOW MUCH !
We are surprised a gentleman of the high standing
of Senator Bankhead should sanction such a measure ;
we are not so surprised, but STILL surprised, that
any respectable portion of the Amencan press would
urge its passage f
Does Our Bombing Pay?
There is a lot of guesswork about the losses of the
enemy, air, land and sea. But none about our own.
A few days ago, for example, London made a six
months report on the allied air losses over Germany,
English and American. These must be correct
Here they are:
u. s. AIR FORCE
Heavy Medium Fighters
RAF
Bomber Fighter
Command Command Coastal
May 62 10 3 252 SI 13
June 65 0 7 276 35 4
July 84 2 19 195 59 4
August 96 4 13 306 75 1
September 72 7 20 193 85 4
October 174 0 7 166 42 2
Totals 553 23 69 1,388 367 28
The grand total adds up to a loss of nearly 2500
airplanes for six months, or 5000 a year.
This is only the loss in Europe. It does not include
losses, of couise, in the Far East Nor does it include
damaged planes, the cost of wear and tear, obsoles
cence, or what have you.
The money cost is not figured although an average
heavy bomber costs at least a quarter of a million dol
lars, so approximately 2000 of them, would add up
to half a billion dollars, the total to perhaps 50
million more.
MOW for the other side of the ledger.
As far as plane production goes a loss of 5000
planes a year for the two countries is a small percent
age of the present total output, certainly less than
10, perhaps not much more than 5. So the mater
ial loss can be taken in the allied stride, nothing to
worry about
The loss in personnel, particularly trained pilots,
is far more serious. No total in this category is given,
but probably 20,000 men killed would about cover it
Just as a matter of cold blooded arithmetic, how
ever, that loss would not equal the new trained re
cruits coming along each year in the two countries,
not by a considerable margin.
a a
ON the other hand, as the figures show the British
oil. fnma in cnief aininir a far errnnar Inaa than iho
American: a ratio of nearly three to one: and British
manpower is definitely less. The percentage of fatal
ities however is approximately the same in both
forces. So as the American air force approaches its
maximum strength, the burden on the British air
force and consequent losses will steadily decline.
a a a a a
FINALLY how about the damage inflicted in these
six months on Germany? There is the really vital
question. Just how much has it decreased the German
striking power, as far as the army is concerned; just
how seriously has it impaired German civilian
morale?
The damage has been great, no one can deny that
But how great we fear no one outside of Germany
knows, or can know.
Judgment, in this country will probably be about
as divided on this, as on all questions concerning air
warfare, the de Seversky school maintaining the
damage has been so great, that Germany will break,
in another six months, before any land attack is
needed; the Marshall school maintaining that while
these air bombardments have been valuable and
should be continued, the BIG job remains, what it
always has been, to beat the German army on the
land. And that will be no Roman holiday.
a a a
AS far as this department is concerned we frankly
DON'T KNOW, we will have to leave the final
decision to the experts and Father Time 1

NERVOUS C
In the iliree-boll mystery yarn
The InvUibla Warm Margaret
Millar dates Dr. Hnul Pyre as of
the gay nineties
when she puts
this bit of ho
kum in the poor
doctor's mouth:
"I was think
ing," Prye con
tinued with de
liberation, "of
the unnecessary
output of ener
gy during emo
tional scenes. It
is one of the
Ur. rJraay weaknesses, of
civilization that convention
forces us to build up inhibitions.
The more civilized a society be
comes the more restraint is im
posed on Its members. Conse
quently, we waste so much ener
gy In deciding what to do that
we often haven't any left to do
it with."
Of course It Is only fiction.
Yet Just such subtle suggestions,
especially when mode by such a
gifted author, tond to build up
in the casual render's mind falsv
concepts. It is this influence of
fiction that damns it all, from
Dickens or Trackery up or down
to the best seller of the day.
Margaret Millar's neuropjy
chlatrist takes off clumsily In
assuming an "output of energy"
during an emotional scene. The
fact is that emotional excite
ment of any kind merely causes
increased . secretion of adranin
by the adrenal glands, and tho
adrenin in the blood causes in
creased mobilization of glycogen
(animal starch, the form In
which fuel is stored In the llvir
and the muscles), in other words,
prepares for ACTION. But If no
ACTION follows, of course there
is little or no output of energy.
If habit, custom, civilized con
vention or any other Influence
restrains one from ACTION un
der the circumstances, all of the
body machinery, particularly
the cardiovascular system (heart
and arteries) Is bound to be dam
aged, as any good machinery is
damaged by racing the engine
with the belt off the flywheel
or with clutch dicngaged. That's
NERQY ISNT
how emotion, any kind of emo
tion, without natural ACTION
or motion to "blow off steam",
so to speak, does harm. Whon
you get angry, irritated or an
noyed you should either fight or
run away, not Just try to seem
unconcerned, calm, ladylike, if
you can't fight or ' run away,
then you should at least make
some, vicarious, vigorous use of
your muscles as soon as possible,
to expend that released energy
In a natural way.
1 say Dr. Paul Pry lands
clumsily after his brilliant flight
for of course no energy is
"wasted" In an emotional scene
on the contrary one in an
emotional state Is that way pre
cisely because he or she is not
expending enough of the energy
he or she naturally should put
forth In the circumstance.

this writer was almost startled 0 J " " "nwlrd
billowy column of glistening whit. amok.
against the clear blue sky. lhit moment s Inspection showed no
motion.
Out-of doors, the column was,
seen to reach from SO degrees
above the eastern horlton to 30
degrees west of overhead, where ;
It ran Into a shelf of high thin
clouds. The western end showed
five parallel lines of white. It
was weird and uiiimtural, but
strikingly beauUfut.
Five Plying Portresses at a
great height had shortly before
passed along this path going
west. A great many people who
saw the cloud band but had not
seen the planes were greatly
puizled by It. Thoae fmlllr
with aviation pronounced It
either an Intended smoke screen
or a "vapor train."
Dr. E. II. Collins. University
of Oregon physicist who observ
ed the flight, found that the
train first appeared distinct some
distance behind the planes. After
It began to form at any point. It
rapidly became more dense for
some time. This Indicated It was
a true vapor train. Two physi
cists, a geologist and an astrono
mer who observed this phenom
enon two of them after the
the cloud was completely form
ed concur In the following ex
planatlon:
The clear air at this great
height was holding all the In
visible water vapor It could. In
fact, likely mora than It was
normally supposed to, so was
supersaturated. The particles
j thrown oft from the engine ex
I hausts provided nuclei on which
the water could condense and It
started to do so. This furnished
the "trigger effect" and soon a
targe amount of cloud was
formed, obliterating the original
five trails. Being at a great
height where the temperature
was far below freezing, the
cloud consisted of Ice particles.
Conditions have to be "Just
right" In the occasional spares
where these rare trains form.
Angular measurements made
at two points 7 miles apart
indicated this billowy line was
4.8 miles high and 18 miles long.
