We must execute it in the most efficient manner possible and in dealing with it we have the experi- emce of others who are doing the same thing to draw upon. We know what handicaps we are experiencing by try- ing to carry on a war with cabinet heads who were selected under peace time conditions, how lack of prepara- tion and lack of organiration has in- fered with our efforts and how our s have dealt with the same sort conditions. There are reasons to believe that the war council bill which has been pre- sented has been drawn up along iines adopted by Great Pritain. Just what the presidential objections are have ‘not been fully set forth.

In the past, from the very time t the freight congestion started, efforts have been made to speed up the l0ad- ing and unloading of freight cars. It has been-recognized that many people were using freight cars for storage purposes when there was no justifica- tion for it. There is still need for mak- ing every possible contribution to rolling stoek by the freeing for ser- wvice of all cars as quickly as the transportation' of material has -been accomplished. During the clesing of many indus- tries of the country, so that practicedly only those engaged in the filling of war orders are busy, the effort is be- ing made to overcome the freight stag- nation by despatching all possi freight trains and accepting only n cessary consignments. In this con- nectfon it is to be hoped that much valuable help has been siven by all consignees, that they have used all available employes, for such work and that the freight yards of the east have experienced a much needed clean-up as the resuit. But in addition to this there is need for giving constant attention to this assistance which will do mueh to- wards improving the transportation service. It is a duty which every con- signee owes to himself, to other ship- pers and to the country and the quick- er the proper cooperation is shown in this matter of relieving cars the quicker the railroads can miake the expected response. The cars must be kept’ moving. AVIATION, | Practice makes #rfeu is one of the maxims that is often repeated, and it applies particularly well to the strides which have heen made in aviation in| the past few years. In conpection with the fiying machine it is weil un- derstood that the countries of Turops nave made better progress than this country. There its possibilities seems 1o have gained an earlier recognition and cspeclally in connection with war operations. In the past several years, however, this country has awakened to the im- portance of the heavier than air ma- chine, new efforts have been put.for- ward for its development and natur- ally there has baen attained a perfec- tion in operation which stands 2 bet- Jer comparison with the accomplish- Although plenty of good reasons ve been advanced at different times for the adoption of the daylight sav- ing plan in this country no action which has amounted to anything has a8 yet been taken. With the effort that has been made through the cen tralization of the control of railroads for bringing about greater efficiency In that direction, the federal adminis- trator’s efforts for the conservation oi all foodstuffs and now the order of the fuel administration for the saving st coal that the crying needs may be met, it would appear to be time for songress to think seriously upon the advisability of adopting the daylight meving scheme which has worked out ® well in European countries. In comnection with the saving of jt must be understood that there baund to be a large amount of ener- conserved by pperating, the factor- %~ of the country at houss shich will . \ $4 ments of the fiyers across the water. And in connection with this improved showingsthere has heen a decided de- crease in the number of accidents and fatalities connected therewith. Ma- chines and pilots have been developed to the point today where safety is all but assured under the exercise - of proper care. They have even redched the stage where, when there is a full understanding of the machime, all the hair-raising stunts of ths early davs and some others are now being per- formed by the skilltul with very few accidents compared with the early ex- periences. This all demonstrates what practice has done and the vilue of the airplanes In times of peace as well as in times of war, even though it has required the war to bring abeut the development EDITORIAL NOTES.
