By EDWARD W. PICKARD CONTRARY to the opinion of Brig. Gen. William Mitchell and those who support his contentions, the bat tleship is still the backbone of naval defense und tie airplane, while a very valuable arm, will always be an aux iliary instrument of warfare against whose attacks the battleship can be made practically invulnerable. Such Is the finding of the special board of the navy created by President Cool ldge to Investigate the claims of those who asserted that aircraft could sweep navies from the seas. This board, headed by Admiral Eberle, chief of naval operations, re ported last week. Its conclusions, summarized, are these: "The battleship is the element of ultimate force In the fleet, and all other elements are contributory to the fulfillment of Its function as the final arbiter In sea warfare. The other ele ments have their Important, and at times, Indispensable functions. "Aviation has Introduced a new and highly Important factor In warfare, both on land and sea. It wns utilized on an enormous scale and with great effectiveness In land operations during the World war, but did not seriously Influence sea operations. Its Influence on naval warfure undoubtedly will In crease In the future, but the prediction thnt It will assume paramount Impor tance will not be realized. "The airplane (heavier than air) is limited In performance by physical laws. "The airship (lighter than air) has some valuable characteristics, but due to great vulnerability, is of doubtful value in war. "Aircraft cannot operate from terri tory that is not controlled by the mili tary or naval forces of their own coun try. "Airplanes cannot occupy territory, nor can they exercise control of the sen. "Airplanes cannot reach distant overseas areas under their own power with any effective military load, and therefore, cannot operate there offen sively or defensively until supplied with weapons and fuel. "The battleship of today, while not Invulnerable to airplane attack, still possesses very efficient structural pro tection, as riown by the experiments on the Washington. The battleship of the future can be so designed as to distribution of her armor on decks and sides, and as to interior subdivi sion, that she will not be subject to fatal damage from the air. "The effect of plunging long range gun projectile hits on a ship's deck has* now become closely analogous to the effect of hits by heavy aerial bombs. "By armoring the battleship's deck with six or seven Inches of armor, we effectively meet any practicable at tack from the air and also attack by gun projectiles fired at the greatest probable battle ranges. The Interior subdivision will resist any mining effect from aerial bombs. It cannot be said, therefore, that air attack has rendered the battleship ob solete. "The observation value of the air plane has been extended to assisting gunnery by observing and reporting the fall of shot relative to the target. "Airplanes bare demonstrated their grerft value to the fleet In scouting, observation and bombing. The use of torpedo planes, fas and smoke screens Is still In the process of development. Airplane carrier* are necessary ele ments of a properly constituted fleet to carry airplanes to the st?ne of ac tion." As to the plan of unifying navy and army aviation In a separate depart ment of the government, urged by Gen eral Mitchell and many othera, the board says It would be most Injurious to the continued efficiency of the fleet aad is a step that should not be taken. THE ALAMANCE GLEANER. GRAHAM, N. C. The board made recommendations for a rather elaborate Immediate building program to be completed In three years at a cost of $80,000,000 a year. For this the President has sub stituted ■ this initial prograpi costing $30,000,000: ** 1. Modernization of three ot the coal-burning battleships. 2. Continuation of the construction of the two aircraft carriers. 3. Three million dollars for air planes for the carriers. (This Is In addition to $1,000,000 for this purpose Included In the budget for 1928.) 4. Laying down and commencing the construction of two 10,000-ton cruisers. 5. Commencing the construction of gunboats for patrol service on the Yangtze river. /COINCIDENT with the publication of this report came the story from Los Angeles of the performance of navy bombing squadron No. 2 under Lieutenant Commander J. Strong. From a height of 7,200 feet the bomb ers made 20 direct hits on a small sea target that was being towed at IS miles an hour. Strong's comment was; "Brigadier General Mitchell was cor rect as to effectiveness of air bombard ment on war vessels. We have known It for a long time. Today we proved It." He added the assertion that his bombers were 1,200 feet above effec tive anti-aircraft gun range and aald the test was made more difficult than expected because a bank of clouds ne cessitated much preliminary maneuver ing to get u peek at the tiny target. WASHINGTON dispatches of the same date declared that Presi dent Coolldge had decided to disci pline General Mitchell for casting dis credit on his superiors In the War de partment and presumably would give him the choice of accepting removal from the office of assistant chief of the army nlr service and reduction to his regular rank of colonel, or resigna tlon from the service. Mitchell Is quoted as saying he would accept the demotion and continue to work for a unified air service. High officers of the army and navy appeared before the house committee on aircraft to tell It the nation's actual situation as to defense by air, and while their testimony was not made public. It was learned that they showed that the country was utterly unpre pared to resist attack, so far as air craft are concerned. Another Interesting witness was Frank B. Gorln, secretary of the Chem ical Warfare association, who told the committee In polite language that Sec retary of the Navy Wilbur did not know what he was talking about when he minimized the possibilities of poison gases In war. Gorln laughed at Wil bur's statement that It would require 5,000 planes and 8,700,000 pounds of mustard gas to attack a city the size of Wsshlngton. From 12 to 16 planes, he said, could demoralize a manufac turing center like Pittsburgh, and one ton of gas would cover a territory a mile square. Eleven planes from Selfrldge field have been carrying out winter maneu ver* in Michigan that have taught the aviators roost valuable lessons espe cially In the quick handling of the planes In extremely cold weather. PRESIDENT COOLIDQE, It was ad rotited tut week, la sounding oat the powers on the advlaablllty of call ing another naval disarmament con ference to extend the Washington treaty limitation* to auxiliary craft. Our ambassador* have been carrying on preliminary conversations In Lon don, Tokyo and Rome and are said to have met with considerable encourage ment there. France also, of course, has been consulted but her attitude la not yet revealed. Her assent Is neces sary. A London paper says Mr. Kel logg. the retiring ambaasador, Is bring ing to the President a meaaage from Foreign Secretary Chamberlain stat ing that Great Britain would welcome American Initiative In the calling of such a conference, which probably means that the British government recognises that the Geneva peace pro tocol Is practically dead. In Tokyo It vas said Foreign Minister 8hld»- hara would insist on preliminary con versations In thst city to fix the agenda of the meeting. THAT Germany's warlike prepara tions are continuing and that the Berlin government hag not been acting In good faith are the charges made in the report of the interallied control commission presented to Marshal Foch's Versailles committee, and the charges are supported by a great array of alleged facts. With this comes reiteration of the French government's position that evacuation of the whole or a part of the Rhlneland would re move France's last tangible pledge for security against aggression without giving anything but vague promises to replace It. THE tragedy of Sand cave. In Ken tucky, reached Its climax and con clusion when the miners sinking the shaft for the rescue of Floyd Collins got down to the unfortunate young man and found he had been degd for several days. To release his body from the Imprisoning boulder that fell on his foot January 30 would have been difficult, and dangerous to others, «o It was decided to make the cave his tomb. Funeral services were held on top of the hill and the entrance* to the cavern were filled up. Above the shaft will rise a rock cairn that will stand as a memento of the unselfish and brave efforts of those who tolled for many days and nights to extricate the trapped man. CONGRESS has now authorized a project that has been long urged by citizens of the North and the South as a symbol of national unity, and by artists and architects as well. It is the Arlington Memorial bridge to link the Lincoln Memorial on ttye north shore of the Potomac with the Arling ton National cemetery and the old home of Oen. Robert E. Lee on the south side. The bridge Is to cost $14,- 750,000 and Is to be the most beautiful structure of the kind In the world. It will be completed within the next alx years. IP THE senate has Its way, the sala ries of members of both houses will be raised from $7,500 a year to SIO,OOO, and those of cabinet members from $12,000 to $15,000. Thla waa provided for by a senate amendment to the leg islative appropriation bill which was adopted without a record vote, despite the warm opposition of Benator Willis of Ohio and some others. It was con sidered likely the amendment would b« approved In conference and accepted by the house. WILLIAM M. J A RHINE, president of the Ksnsas State Agricultural college. Is to be secretary of agricul ture after March 4. President Cool ldge selected him from the field of some 200 candidates after long and careful conslderstlon, for he feels that the operations of the Department of Agriculture will have much to do with the success of his administration, as well as with the prosperity of the country. Doctor Jardlne, who began his career as a cow puncher In Mon tana/ Is a practical as well as a theo retical farmer and has a thorough knowledge of farm marketing. DR.

GREEN Editor of "HEALTH" (to. i92d. Western Newspaper Union.) DANGERS OF BASKET BALL FOR GIRLS r piiK girl of today Is ts different from lier grandmother In her play as she is in her clothes. 'A his is nat urally the case; In fact. It Is probable that present-day sports have been one of the Important reasons for present day clothes. Our grandmothers, who were taught to walk sedately,- to sit quietly In their chairs, and never to do anything "boisterous or unlady like" would be horrified at the sight of a basketball game In any of our school gymnasiums or playgrounds. Olrls of today are better and more sensibly dressed than they have been In centuries. Athletic sports and out door games are far better for the growing girl than crocheting tidies and embroidering mottoes, yet there are dangers In excessive activity of any kind. In a recent Issue of the Child Health Magazine, Dr. J. Anna Norris, physical director for women at the University of Minnesota, calls attention to some of the dangers in basketball for women. AS Doctor Norris well says, basket ball Is the most popular Indoor game for girls. It affords opportunity for vigorous recreation, for team play, and for healthy social relations. It should, however, be played by girls' rules and under proper conditions. It Is a recognized fact that basket ball as played by boys is too strenuous and severe a game for girls. The physical directors of the leading women's schools have modified tbe game so ns to adapt It to the strength and endurance of girl players. The tirst Important change In the girls' rules is to discourage personal con tact and struggling by making It ■ foul to hold, block or snap the ball from tbe hands of another player. The second Important change Is to provide a number of different courts of different sizes, depending on the ages of the girl players. This makes it possible for each girl to play In her own court and with girls of her own sge and physical strength. The third change is the division of the fifteen or twenty minute halves of the game Into quarters, making th« actual playing time not more than ten minutes at a stretch. Probably the last change Is the most important. The long playing periods, with the constant activity necessary In basketball, places a se vere strain on the players' hearts. No girl should be allowed to play basket ball until she has had a careful phys ical examination with especial refer ence to the condition of her heart and until a competent person has de cided that she has s sound besrt snd Is capable of playing without Injury to herself. Both the gumes themselves and the practice periods should be strictly limited so that continuous playing Is not allowed for more than ten mlnntes at a time. • MICE TAUGHT TO AN ' SWER DINNER BELL T"VO WE Inherit what onr fathers •*—' learned and will our children Inherit what we learnT Thla ques tion, which scientific men term the problem of the "Inheritance of ac quired characteristic!!," has long di vided the scientific world Into two hostile camps. Whether man Inherits acquired knowledge or not, nay be an open question, but apparently white mice do. Prof. Ivan P. Pawlow, tbe well known Russian phydologlst, tells in s recent Issue of Science how he taught white mice to come to dinner when the dinner bell rang. The first generation of mice re quired three hundred lessons before they learned the connection between dinner and the dinner bell. When they finally learned It, they trotted to the feeding-trough aa soon aa they heard the bell. Their children only needed one hundred lessons, while grandchildren learned to come to dinner when the bell rang in one third of the time their fathers re quired. Tbe fourth generation did still better, whlla the fifth generation were apparently born with an Inher ited sense of the connection, since after the dinner bell had rung only Ave times, they w»re st the dinner table and all ready for their food. Professor Pawlow says that he ex pects future generations of tbeae wblte mice to be born with a knowl edge of the connection so that they will associate tbe ringing of tbe bell with their dinner the Srst time they hear It. Will the aame rale apply to human belnga? We do not know. We can't experiment with men and women, boys and girls and babies as we can with wblte mice. How many of us know anything about the personal habit* or charac teristics of onr great, great grandfa thers? The roan over fifty who mar ried at the average period, probably has grandchildren of from two to fire years old. Hla grandfather, who la his grandchildren's great-great-grand father. waa probably born about a hundred years ago. Unfortunately, we haven't any recorda. either of the peculiarities of people born a century ago or even of the fact that they were born at all. We will know more about human aalmais when we keep as careful recorda of our children at we do of our prise bulla fast horse% bulldog*, chickens aad Persian cata. £ ASmtd Breafh x at aU ' Altar eating « smoking lfrigleyTi HwMnn tt» ■cntb and wwiw die breath.
