Most politicians make their own. The softest job is that of college presi- dent. All he has to do is to please the board of control, the undergraduates, the parents and the alumni.

Lots of people are JUS like that Times-Union. : Dillinger is reported to havé in mind his escape to Burope when the opportunity presents itself. In the meantline he is following the suggestion of tourist agencies “To gee America first.” Ending a sentence with ene of more prepositions is now sanctioned, even in Boston, where a Globe repofter évérheard the question: “What did you choose that book for me to read from for?” _other prophets who ifdilge eagerly AIRCRAFT DEVELOPMENT Not only commercial aviation but military aviation seems to be getting a new lease of life. In addition to extensive building recently for private air lines, the War Department has announced 4 “three-} year development program which _ will pour $50,000,000 into planes and other todern ait equipment. A-thousand hew planés of the latest fighting ahd stouting types will be addéd to the 1,300 service- | able planes now in the air service: Work | is to go ahead immediately on 80 large bombers and 30 attack planes. Bids for 300 of 400 more planes of all types will be asked-for within two. months. The department is fortunately not i" confining itself to types already proved. Gen. Benjamin D. Foulois, chief of air | corps, plans to invite bids for new de-! Signs of ships and motors. This should stimulate the introduction of the most modern ideas into a setvice whith, critics have charged, has held too mich to the Standards of several years ago. Invention and design in aircraft proceed faster than in automobiles, and are always ahead of | curreht usage. : Those who criticise extensive building of warships are less disposed to criticise military aircraft construction, as long as it is handled efficiently. Air defense is far less costly than sea defense, and many authorities consider wat planes, on the Whole, superior to battleships and cruisers for this purpose. FLOODS AHEAD Official weather forecasters are cautions about making prophecies more than 48 houts in advance, but there ate in long-range weather forecasting. One of these is Capt. Thomas J. See, professor of | ~~~ mathematics in the navy. Capt. See says that rainfall will inerease for the next two years. A Then there will be a period of severe floods all over the world. It is the reappearance of the sun spots which enables him to make this fore- east. Stin spots have been increasing the faififall in 11-year cycles for something like 9,255 years. Says Capt. See: “By the extensive researches I proved that the 1i-year flood cyelé, when the sun Spots are most rapidly increasing, is de- pendable and extends batk to the time of Caesar, Hannibal and Alexander the Great, the rivers of India being enormously high at the time of the celebrated battle With King Porus, 328 B. C.” ‘TheFe have recently been local floods in'a few scattered sections which are per- | haps samples of what is to comé on a world stale. We wish some one could control those Stin spots: There ate lots of places that need rain badly, but hone that need devastating floods. LUXURIOUS TRAVEL The luxury of the new railroad ac- commodations, after years in which rail- road travel was mostly regarded as an _en- dufance test, almost passes belief. Not content’ with reducing rates to 14% or 2 cents a mile, air-cooling Pullmans, | bring- ing ‘Th“new streamlined trains-and putting More speed, comfort atid service into the whole bisiness, they are now providing trains with entertainment. A southeastern line has a miniature night club on its Flor- ida trains, with hostesses and soft music. Very likely we'll soon have a hostess along with the porter on every Pullman, with radio service and other extfas on the coaches, and a place to dance in the mid- dle of the dining car. Or inventive yenius and managerial enterprise will sweep away all these crudities and give us some- thing finer than drummers or millionaires ever dreamed of. The biisiness coupe and family bus will have to step some to keep up. THE BRYAN STATUE The new statue of William Jennings Bryan has just been tinveiled in Washing- ton. Under all circumstances it is a gfeat ¢othpliment te the Commoner. The parks ahd tircles throughout the National Capi- tal have a great number of weird = monu- tents and statues, all of Which represent deeorations and imitations of art of a period that has passed. The tribute to Bryan is perhaps one of the last that will be gfantéd by the authofities that rule St¢h matters in the National Capital. | 1 ; | | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN 4 | AMERICAN LEGION WAR PIcTURES No. 1 General Pershing.
