" From the days of “Darius Green and his flying machine” to the present, what a wonderful development in the art of flying there has been! When we see the aeroplanes rising above us, wheeling, circling, obeying every moment of the rudder, we cer- tfiinls; ralize that man is learning to dominate the powers of the air. ; Development and improvement both in the machine itself and the mastery of it is in great measure due to the war. Up to that time the use of the aeroplane had largely been for ex- periment and for exhibition. Its possible fields of transporta- tion and of practical use were already efficiently occupied by other agencies. With the war came the need, and mechanicians and aviators responded to it. More improvement was probably made during the four years of war than twenty years of peace would have brought about. ;i Now that the war is over the development and skill gained _will probably turn the aircraft to practical everyday uses. The aeroplane is already utilized for carrying mail, and its-field will undoubtedly be gradually increased to transporta- tion of all kinds. Despite its present high cost of construction it requires neither franchise, rail nor trolley, and so it can com- pete favorably with other transportation agencies. It is difficult to predict how general its use may become. It may some day become a customary thing for mankind to “fly upon the wings of the wind.” O CHILD LABOR. The revenue bill now under consideration in the senate contains a provision for a ten per cent tax to be laid on the profits of products in interstate commerce which are made with aid of child labor under ceitain legal standards. This will probably receive favorable ac¢tion by the senate. The purpose of this is not to raise revenue, but to prevent the employment of child labor by making it unprofitable. . The war has brought home to us the fact that the man power of our country is her greatest wealth. It is not only the most valuable, but the dearest possession of all. . We cannot have strong manhood and womanhood unless childhood is protected, is given opportunity for strengthening play and for education. It is only thus that development of mind and body together can proceed to the fuliest extent. Any money gain produced by placing a child at monotonous labor which dulls his powers instead of developing them is the long run on a gain, but an economic loss. A hundred and forty years ago came a period when much attention was given to formulating and securing the rights of man. It is the duty of our day and generation to secure and protect the rights of the child. United States Senator J. Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, demo- cratic “whip” of the United States senate and one of Wilson’s most effusive spokesmen, in a speech declared that the repub- licans were attempting to embarrass the president in his peace activitis, to which Senator Lodge replied that peace should be settled as quickly as possible and the frills eliminated. The Illinois senator was badly defeated at the last election by Medill McCormick, a republican, after his first term, which indicated what Illinois voters thought of him. We would like to see the roads most needed built, than to wait several years before that end could be attained. No doubt but that proposed highway would be started and ex- panded in the southern part of the state, while the northern portion, sadly in need of roads, not to mention hard surfaced ones, will have to wait a long time, delaying settlement and progress. The proposed highway will skirt Beltrami county, practically of little value. When the railroad and warehouse commission denied the Northwestern and the Tri-State telephone companies raising their rates throughout the state, the commission took the proper action. The companies have been making over seven per cent and up to nine per cent and yet declared they were losing money. The vigorous protest that went up from the people of the state indicated clearly their desire for action on the part of the commission. [ESSESUSIEY, WS — Today marks the passing of Irving A. Caswell, clerk of the supreme court of the state, and in his stead will be Herman Mueller of St. Cloud, the man who defeated Caswell for the republican nomination at the primaries. Mueller ran as a re- publican with the endorsement of the Nonpartisan league. 0 Three great federal shipbuilding plants, costing millions and established for building ships for war service, turned out four, one of the gigantic plants delivering not one. The head of t%e board admits this but fails to explain’ where the money went. T S—— The new and re-elected county officials will start their terms this week and for another four years will conduct the affairs of _their respective offices. They should have the hearty co-operation of the people of Beltrami county. 0. The total number of Germans dead in war casnalties amounts to about two million men! An ufter loss far beyond any money disasters which could befall a nation. Read The Pioneer Want Ads .| same order. — THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER Monkey a Tramp.

That the use of silk will probably continue to hold its place is evident from the fact that both the gingham and the calico print patterns are be- ing copied in silk, states a writer in the New York Herald. Some of the novelty silks are slmply fascinating. One called deV-kist is a rough wavy silk with a great deal of shimmer, and Is carried out in blended shades very rtrikingly. Oneé combination is blue and gold color and is very successful. To be poetic, it 1ooks very much like sunset on rippling bilue water.

The price is no more than for soles that give less wear. Remem- ber—Neslin Soles are created by sciencc to be ‘what soles should be. ~ They are flexible and. waterproof as well ad durable. They come on new shoes of all styles. They are made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, who alse make Wingfoot Heels—guaranteed to ~outwear any other heels: Nealin Soles A madras crepe plald features the patterns which we usually assoclate with ginghams and does it in a most Interesting ‘way. For' sheer novelty, however, calico patterns in indestructi- ble voile must-be mentloned as first and foremost. The idea. is decidedly gualnt and the patterns are still more so—little knots of rose-colored flow- ers on gray backgrounds and other de- signs dear to the hearts of our grand- mothers. These fabrics will all find a place In.the wardrobe being planhed for the South, for while sport clothes hold first place there are other occa- sions when what might be known as the afternoon frock for country wear Is an absolute necessity. As to the subject of colors the most brillfant shades will be reserved for sport and the subdued shades to which several seasons have accustomed us will prevail for other occasions. Of course white, which was creep- ing back into favor lust season; will s e " still be popular and deservedly, as it = makes such a brilliant background for a touch of vivid colors USE OF FRINGE ON A FROCK Charming Border Treatment Is Easily Produced, Affording Most Clever Arrangement, . ] It took some cne of a decidedly un. conventional turn of mind to put fringe on a frock and not use it fringe- wise, says a correspondent. The re- sult was very decidedly to the good, and the means surprisingly simple. You see the effect was that of large fluffy silky shells, and théy made the most charming border treatment ever. The fringe was treated this way: Lengths - sufficlently long to make generous spirals. were cut and applied spiral fashion with widely separated “invisible” stitches along the border of the fringe, which, of course, was perfectly plain, neither knotted nor twisted. After that each strand of the fringe was looped, or turned under itself and the end stitched securely to' preserve the loop. Thus you see the effect tvas a soft spiral of ¥oops. Chentlle fringe would be delightful to work with this way, and perhaps a bit easler than the more “stringy” kind. Nor is there any artistic reason for not using two colors of fringe, del- phine blue, for instance, and black, placed alternately. = SOME LATE STYLE HINTS It Is sald the very latest New York fad 1s dresses of sateen. They bid fair to be even more popular than were the calico ones of last summer. Monkey hair hats, though quite the thing in Paris, are sald to be unbecom- ing to many women, especially to those with very light or gray halir. Brown, In a soft, dull tone, is a strong rival -of - black - for evening frocks. There is hardly cn evening frock, however, but that shows at least 2 touch of black. A smart new style is the slip-on blouse with apron front; adorned with darling little pockets and wrist-length bishop sleeves set into large armholes. A narrow sash girdle holds the blouse in about the waist. to beat. with Pan money. Up to date than Pan? Fur Vests.

CAMFIELD F. S. GREGORY SUBSCRIBE FOR THE DAILY PIONEE OOR RICHARD said: “A saw isa good thing, but not to shave with.” Perhaps it would not be betraying any confidence to state here that Con- crete 1s not a howling success as a table relish, but as a building material it 1s a wonder. So, it seems, there 1s some good in everything, and Concrete in its particular line 1s hard In the various buildings of the Pan Motor Plant there are 228,- 625 cubic feet of Concrete, which is a whole lot of concrete, and gives one a concrete idea of the solidity of the Pan enterprise. This vast amount of Concrete, as well as other building materials and equipment on the Pan premises, was bought and paid for Over $1,800,000.00 has been invested in buildings, machinery, material and equipment in the plant of the Pan Motor Company, concrete being only a small but highly important item on the invoice. One thousand tons of structural and rein- forcing steel is another important item; over one million two hundred thou- sand brick and tile is another; over two hundred fifty thousand feet of lumber is another; over six hundred sixty thousand square feet of compo- sition roofing is another; eighty-one thousand square feet of cement tile roofing is another; over sixty-seven thousand square feet of steel sash and glass is another, and over seventeen thousand, seven hundred square feet of stucco on metal lath is another. Quite a lot-of building material, all in place and all paid for in a little over a year. Speaking of Concrete and solidity, what new company is on a firmer basis Its finances, like its buildings, are also on a firm foundation. PAN MOTOR COMPANY SAINT CLOUD [Pan Town], MINN.
