For some time the high cost of gaso- line has been in evidence. It has been especlally felt by those who de- pend upon it for motive power and there has been little or no progress made in the efforts which have been launched to bring about a reduction. There was an Interesting flurry caused by the claims that new methods of manufacture which would make the cost of production considerably less would result in the dropping of the Tetall price and not a little hope was raised by the Teports that investiga- tors had discovered other and cheaper fluids for the driving of internal-com- bustion engines, but whatever may re- sult from these ideas in tho future there has been no slashing of prices, and gasoline is still depended upon for fuel. B Therc has been an investigation made by the federal trade commission for the purpose of determining the reasop of the high price of this com- modity. The claim has all along been made that the large increase in ‘con- sumption both in this country and abroad, with the Eurcpean war almos: Wwholly responsible for the big gain in export business, drew so heav- iy upon the supply thit higher prices were made necessary. Now it is main- tained by the independents that the| ¥ Standard Oil companies are to blame and that while thers s a big increase that | 10 the use of gasoline there has been a falling off in other oils, which it has been necessary. to store up-in big quantities, and as a result the decrease in the profit formerly made on the latter bas had to be made up from the sales of the former. If that is the case it will be interesting to note what the commission will have to offer in the way of a recommendation to meet even | the situation and bring the price of ry bad how-| o umbrella. this much used commodity back to earth again. EDITORIAL NOTES. Of course if you go by the almanac summer is here, but there is very lit- tle else to denote it. ‘The man on the corner says: Smiles may be forced, but an open-faced laugh is nearly always genuine. It is becoming more and more real- ized that it is necessary to make the most 6f every little bit of sunshine that is offered. Carranza apparently thinks that it is an easier proposition to get rid of. the United States than it is to dis- pose of the bandits, ‘Whether the weathier bureau is re- sponsible or not, experience teaches that until matters get a bit more set- tled it 1s & pretty good 1dea to wear In his policy of silence Colone!

American aviators in the service of France, now stationed at the French %] front, are subject to the same disci- pline as the French soldiers and | the ®ame promotions and recompenses are open to them, while their duties are in every way as onerous and hazardous. The only difference in their treatment is an obvious deference that originates in French courteous hospitality, They are at home everywhere. - When they are in Paris they have comfortable accommodations at 15 Avenue des Champs Flysees, the headquarters of the Franco-American flving flotilla, and arc_entertained as friends as much as they can stand. When they were training at Pau they were housed like good paying tourists and feasted as much as was good for them. In their new training camp at Avord, near Bourges, there is more business than feasting, but they are quite content with the bungalow life such as appeals to adventurous: spirits. Here in the fleld, at a_ point that must remain enonymous, they have a post of honor: that is to say where dangers are thick—but where. between flights, they enjoy the comforts of home with the luxury of hot spring bailis to which the cohorts of Caesar gave the first publicity. Little advantages of this sort that the Americans enjoy are typical of the present feeling of cordiality - toward the United States in France. France Do need of foreign aviators and offers from abroad'were re- Americans are accepted, there- fore,, purely as a courteous exception to.the rule, taking the places of just S0 many disappointed French appli- cants. Another important discrimination in favor of the American volunteer is that, if he is found inapt for service in the flving corps, his enlistment is can- celled. The waliting period for the American volunteer is not long, for he is an apt pupil and gets through the eight dif- ferent classes of instruction in a month’s time. He bes training on a 25-horse power machine with shortened wings and which cannot rise from the ground; he learns the use of the mo- tor, control of the levers, etc., as one learns to drive a motor car. Then he passes to a 35-horse power machine before trying a straightaway flight in a machine that is just able to lift it- self from the earth. Next the pupil begins more serious work with straight flights in = - high-power six-cylinder machine that can rise a hundred feet. Then come circular flights around the aerodrome itself. The pupil begins to take greater heights and enlarges his circuits on a 50-hérse power machine, in the sixth class, and in the seventh he takes cross-country flights with an £0-horse power motor and at a height of 500 yards. THe eighth class is really what may be called the pupils’ graduating ex- amination.
