EXPERTS IN DEFENSE OF AIR POLICY The air controversy at Washington is not one-sided. The National Aeronautical Association vigorously defends the progress made in flying in the United States. The charge that inadequate results have been obtained from the expenditure of $433,000,000 on aviation in the last five years is declared to be "very unjust." The National Aeronautical Association, in its statement, says that America, in part by reason of this expenditure, "is very distinctly and emphatically first in the air in the excellence of the types of machines developed, in the excellence of aircraft engines developed and in the excellence of pilots developed." The statement proceeds with the observation that "it was not a matter of accident that the numerous efforts to fly around the world made by France, Italy, Argentina and Portugal were less successful than that made by the United States Army and Navy; in fact no other nation succeeded in getting half way round the world, although there were various replacements of machines, and engines in their efforts to do so. This is legitimate argument. This is a phase of the controversy that merits consideration. If the three excellences mentioned by the National Aeronautical Association have been attained—and seemingly they have—then indeed the heavy expenditures on aviation have not been in vain. not a matter of accident that the numerous efforts to fly around the world made by France, Italy, Argentina and Portugal were less successful than that made by the United States Army and Navy; in fact no other nation succeeded in getting half way round the world, although there were various replacements of machines, and engines in their efforts to do so.

Drive carefully—and if anything befall you in traffic, it will be no fault of yours. MAY CREATE PACT WITH SIX STATES ONLY California may join Wyoming and Colorado in urging a six-state compact to deal with the control of the Colorado River. Arizona may fall into line. But should it be obstreperous, the other six states of the Colorado River Basin should be able to proceed constructively. Possibly Arizona, if she saw that her sister states were resolved to go on without her, would bestir herself and ratify the compact. The big consideration is that this great problem of control of this great river must be met, and that quickly. There must be no dallying, with the material welfare of this whole Southwest at stake. There should be constructive action looking to the control of the Colorado. Radio development will be one of the marvels of the future Flirt with trouble and it will camp on your doorstep. The United States should assume and maintain leadership of the world in promoting peace. This is the age of specialists—of men and women who know one thing or a few things exceptionally well. God's Kingdom Has Come Millions now living will never die. For 1900 years Christians have prayed for the coming of God's Kingdom because Jesus taught them so to pray. He said that it would come in quietly, like a thief in the night. The proof now shows conclusively that His Kingdom is here. What is his kingdom? How will it operate on earth? What effect will it have upon the nations and people? Will it bring the blessings and comfort for which the people have long hoped for? These questions will be answered to the satisfaction of all who believe that the Bible is God's Word. It is the most comforting message suffering humanity has ever heard. Hear it, and be glad. A. W.

George E. THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF. THE WRONG BUTTON! WARREN APPOINTMENT REGULATOR U.S. SENATE THE BEFORE OF ADVICE THE PRICE OF FREEDOM It should be remembered that 100 per cent Americans in the United States have freedom is obedience and it there can be no freedom. No one has stated the more clarity than Calvin O'Connor in his collection of speeches listed as The Price of Freedom you will find him saying: "Independence is exacting, self-control is self-government is difficult. This is the reason that to our native-born, and most to our foreign-born, they can Republic proves a disruption. They thought the government meant the abolition all restraint, that independence meant living without war that freedom was the prize doing what they wanted to. "It has been a hard lesson them to learn that self-ment is still government, rule of the people does not absence of authority, the pendence means self-supply that complete freedom means complete obedience of the law." "They are disappointed than ever when they learn they do, that these are so cause they have been deprived some body of men, but they are so by the nature of and all the governments world are powerless to them." "By the nature of this he says. Men's condition is subject to convenience, and his exile governed by superior power those powers are neither creeds of a blind fatality caprices of whimsical belief. Like the world of forms a part, man is governed by laws, regular." RAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) his is civilization! He wont broke, but his people admired him still. The bonds now consider below par are the bonds of mony. She Sam is no Shylock: Shylock's willing to wait 60 for his. Collels need no longer travel real color. There is scandal here. Mail carriers have one cone. Literature is getting every year. Duty of art suggests the hint that no man is a hero to shap who makes a bronze of man gets an ardent follower using soft words on the question. N't worry about posterity. Age is serving it well as a noble example. Is nice thing about getting The kiss you give a pretty s "fatherly." Normal American: One who is his pet law would hasten millennium. Keeping all of the laws requires sense of duty or a keen of humor. Usually the reformer gets no stains because most of us even are as good as he. American drug stores sell eight red million dollars' worth a not counting postage stamps. Law really corrupts adults as it has pretty sorry speeches to work on. ABE MARTIN WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS REAR ADMIRAL W. W. PHELPS "Serious differences are brewing with England over shipping policies," says Rear Admiral W. W. Phelps. The pertinent fact which gives Admiral Phelps' widely quoted speech importance is the fact that he is not a retired officer with too much zest for battle, too little to keep him occupied, and too much taste for chatter. Admiral Phelps is an officer on active duty. He is on service in Washington in the department of the navy. He served recently as chief of staff of the naval war college. He is at this moment a member of the general board of the navy, one of whose stated duties it is to consider the navy's bulling program and another of whose stated duties it is "to draw naval lessons from the world war." William Woodward Phelps was born in Baltimore, Md., in 1869. He was graduated from the United States naval academy in 1889 and served on the Bancroft during the Spanish-American war. He served in executive capacity on the Mayflower, Kentucky, Constellation and other battleships up to 1916-17, when he commanded the Louisiana. He was assigned to temporary duty with the Atlantic fleet in August, 1917, commanded the transport Great Northern in November, 1917-18, and the Leviathan from September 1918 until April 1919. Admiral Phelps' promotion to rear admiral came in December, 1921. He served as chief of staff of the navy war college in 1921-22, and commanded the Yangtze patrol, U.S. Aratic fleet from July, 1922 to November, 1923. He was given the navy cross for his services in the world war. HEALTH AND DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" EXERCISE AND DIGESTION (Continued) Exercises taken while lying on the back develop mineral muscles and when these muscles are well developed some body of men, but they are so by the nature of their environment that world are powerless to them." And soon we'll don our working jeans And dig to beat the Dickens; We'll plant a lot of peas and beans To feed our neighbor's chickens. For the green apple variety of stomach ache, castor oil; for appendicitis, an ice bag. The man who is overweight and has a tendency toward high blood pressure, must, for the preservation of his health, become a vegetarian. Those who have had diphtheria or are known to be "carriers" should not be permitted to expose others to the infection until, by proper laboratory examinations, they are known to be free of the bacillus. The periodic physical examination that includes a blood pressure reading precludes the possibility of unexpected apoplexy. We romp across the continent In search of new diversions; In summer comes our discontent And longing for excursions. It's good for folks to gad about In Pullman, planes and fillyvers; These office blokes who have the gout— It stimulates their livers. Conducted intelligently, the management of tuberculosis, in the patient's own home, is preferable to expensive journeys in the arid west. Some are vegetarians by choice, some by force of circumstances; both will soon be at the bat. What's the cause of indigestion? You don't know and neither do I, That brings up the ulcer question Or, perhaps it's too much pie. Railroads employ track walkers to prevent accidents, but the individual directors don't anticipate physical wrecks. And another good policy to pursue is one that your widow can take for about ten thousand dollars. HEALTH AND DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" EXERCISE AND DIGESTION (Continued) Exercises taken while lying on the back develop minimal muscles and when these muscles are well developed will assist in holding the vital organs of the abdomen. This development will prevent prolapsus and will graduate any prolapsed organs to the normal position. The exercises taken while lying face downward different muscles attached to the spine and such develop hold the vertebrae of the spine in their proper place. In cases of this kind, the spinal muscles may be so strong ed in a few months' time that neither the osteopath nor practor will be able to find a sublaxated (partially dislocated) vertebrae, which pinch upon issuing from the spine, are the direct or indirect cause diseases brought about by the shutting off of the neck to the various parts of the body served by these parties. While these exercises are being practiced for the development of back muscles, it is advisable at the same time to co-teopathic or chiropractic treatments until the muscles of the spine have developed sufficient strength through them to hold the vertebrae in the normal position. The exercises which are taken in the standing not require much muscular energy, nor do they develop any appreciable extent, but are valuable, nevertheless, inducing a better flow of blood to the extremities and form of treatment. They should be performed regularly stretching, twisting and vitalizing effect which is similar sage, osteopathic or chiropractic treatments. (To be continued) THE BEST OF ADVICE IT should be remembered (by 100 per cent Americans in particular) that the reverse side of freedom is obedience and without there can be no freedom. No one has stated this with more clarity than Calvin Coolidge, his collection of speeches, published as The Price of Freedom, you will find him saying: "Independence is exceedingly exacting, self-control is arduous, self-government is difficult... this is the reason that to certain our native-born, and more often our foreign-born, the American Republic proves a disappointment. They thought that self-government meant the absence of all restraint, that independence meant living without work, and that freedom was the privilege of doing what they wanted to do. "It has been a hard lesson for them to learn that self-government is still government, that the rule of the people does not mean absence of authority, that independence means self-support, and that complete freedom means complete obedience of the law." "They are disappointed more than ever when they learn, as ever they do, that these are so, not because they have been decreed by some body of men, but that they are so by the nature of things, and all the governments in the world are powerless to change them." "By the nature of things..." he says. Men's condition is subject to inconveniences, and his existence is governed by superior powers; but those powers are neither the degrees of a blind fatality nor the caprices of whimsical beings. Like the world of which he forms a part, man is governed by natural laws, regular in their COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying PUBLICITY AGAINST MEXICO'S SLUMS—Fresno Republican E. Piutarco Calles, president of Mexico, has shown an understanding of Yankee publicity methods, in engaging Jane Addams, of Chicago, to probe the slums of the City of Mexico, that is refreshing. For a people unusually sensitive to the emotional suggestions, he Mexicans have been poor in the instinct of international publicity. Miss Addams will arouse interest among the people of Mexico. She will also arouse interest in other lands in some of the human problems of that nation. Will this publicity do any good for the slums of Mexico? That is quite another question. It is a question whether the social instincts of the people of Mexico will carry them anywhere near as far as this in a socialistic program. Much as we dodge the term "socialist", the people of the United States are much nearer being practical socialists than are those of Mexico. Mexicans are extreme individualists except for those lines of activity which have been for centuries recognized as of the state. We occasionally think of the Mexicans as inlined to communism because the landless citizens covet title to the lands which they work, but which are owned by the great land owners. But this is not a public sense of social need; it is private instinct for advantage. The peasants of ancient Rome were far from being communists, but they did covet control of the land that they farmed for the patricians. If it is possible to arouse in the people of Mexico a feeling of joint responsibility for the condition of the occupants of the slums, they will support the government in measures to break them up, and place these submerged residents on a basis of thrift and economy. But so far there has been no general communal tendency except of grabbing something that the other fellow has. A true communism will work toward giving each citizen the power and the opportunity to "create" his equal share, not merely to grab what some other citizen has. GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE A SERMON BY EXAMPLE It has been said many times, in all languages, that tolerance is the greatest of the virtues. In New York, a wonderful thing is happening. At Columbia University, where he is a student, Jal Dastur C. Pavry, future spiritual head of one hundred thousand Zoroastrians in Indig, is giving a course in his religion, and many of his pupils are prospective Christian clergymen from a nearby theological seminary. He sees good in many religions and thinks the preacher of one faith should study the faiths of others and not condemn them. So at Columbia men who will preach Christianity are learning about Zoroaster, prophet of a faith more ancient, from a man who will some day be the leader of the adherents of that old religion in India, where Christian churches have missionaries at work. There is a lesson in this for Americans. It seemed to Voltaire that the supposed right of intolerance "By the nature of things . . . he says. Men's condition is subject to inconveniences, and his existence is governed by superior powers; but those powers are neither the decrees of a blind fatality nor the caprices of whimsical beings. Like the world of which he forms a part, man is governed by natural laws, regular in their course, uniform in their effects, immutable in their essence; and those laws "are not written among the distant stars, nor hidden in the codes of mystery, but are inherent in the nature of terrestrial beings, interwoven in their existence, and at all times and in all places they are present to him." The quoted words are Volney's. As he says (In Ruins of Empires) these laws act upon man's senses; they warn his understanding; they give to every action its reward or punishment. "Let man then know these laws! Let him understand the nature of the elements which surround him, also his own nature, and he will know the regulators of his destiny." Moreover, he will know the causes of evils and the remedies he should supply. Greatest of all, he will know that statutes cannot insure righteousness. In American bookselling circles it is customary to allow a discount to publishers, authors and personal friends. When Mark Twain once visited a bookshop he chose a book and said to the assistant: "Now, as a publisher I am entitled to a discount of 50 per cent. As an author I am also entitled to 50 per cent, and as a friend of the proprietor I should get 25 per cent. Now, what's the price of the book and what do I have to pay for it?" The assistant did some rapid figuring and handling over the book, said: "I guess we owe you 75 cents. Here you are. I hope we may have your further patronage!" A couple of hours and a few dollars a year spent in a physical examination beats a couple of years and several thousand dollars spent in search of health. A Class Ad will bring you results.

There is a lesson in this for Americans. It seemed Voltaire that the supposed right of intolerance is absurd and barbaric. "It is the right of the tiger; nay, it is far worse, for tigers do but tear in order to have food." The people of whom history has given us knowledge degarded their different religions as links that bound them together; it was an association of the human race. There was a kind of right to hospitality among the gods, just as there was among men. When a stranger reached town, his first act was to worship the gods of the country; even the gods of enemies were strictly venerated. The Trojans offered prayers to the gods who fought for the Greeks. Intolerance is neither a part of natural nor of human law, Voltaire believed. "Natural law is that indicated to men by nature. You have reared a child; he owes you respect as a father, gratitude as a benefactor. You have a right to the products of the soil you have cultivated with your own hands. You have given or received a promise; it must be kept." Human law must in every case be based on natural law. All over the earth the great principle of both is: Do unto others what you would that they do unto you." Now, in virtue of this principle, one man cannot say to another: "Believe what I believe, or I will do thee all the harm I can. Monster, thou sharest not my religion, and therefore hast no religion." If it were a point of human law to behave thus," Voltaire opined, "the Japanese should detest the Chinese, who should abhor the Slamsee; the Slamsee, in turn, should persecute Thibetan, who should fall upon the Hindooes. A Mogul would tear out the heart of the first Malabarian he mea; the Malabarian should slay the Persian, who might massacre the Tuhk; and all of them would fling themselves against the Christians, who have so long devoured each other."
