Attest: John II. I^ott, A. K. Cameron, ('has. Summers, Directors. •
Nine years ago, at Fort Mr\er. Va.
just across the Potomac river from
our national capital—the writer wit-
nessed the first public flight of a man-
carrying airplane that the world had
ever seen, the machine being druen by
Wilbur Wright, one of the no world-
famous brother-inventors. That first
little plane was crude and imperfect
and would now, rfs compared with
present day aircraft, be fit only for
the museum or the junk pile; however,
the event marked the opening of *
wonderful new era. Prior to that first
flight a few persons in different parts
of thr world had had visions of our
modern air planes, but the world's bil-
lions looked upon such persons as idle
dreamers and, if thr present-day work-
or-fight laws had then been in force,
these so called visionaries would doubt-
less have been arrested as vagrant and
thrown into jail or drafted Into the
army.
During the first five years after the
original flight, airplane progress was
slow and unsatisfactory but, since the
great war started, developement has
gone forward by leaps and bounds,
and accomplishments have been so
great that now nothing surprises us.
Recently, in New York City and in
certain other parts of the country
airplanes, singly and in groups of from
two to twenty, hare become such a
familiar sight that they are hardly no-
ticed at all, and the world reads with
only passing interest of such epoch-
making accomplishments as the suc-
cessful establishment of new aero postal
lines here and in Europe, the recent 621
mile non-stop flight of a large group of
Italian planes across the Alps to Vien-
na and back, and the many other
wonderful achievements of aviators
throughout the world. It is not dif-
ficult then for us to hrlieve even the
recent astounding announcements that
soon huge airplanes, each carrying a
hundred or more passengers, will be
darting back and forth across the
Atlantic with such speed that it will
be possible to eat breakfast in New
York today and dinner in London to-
morrow—Copyright, 1918, by Gen-
eral Welfare League.
TWO INTERESTING LETTERS
FROM CORP. ROY BRUCE
France, July 18, 1 18.
Dear Folks and all:
My, doesn't the time fly Here it is
the middle of July and a couple of
weeks since I have had the opportunity
to write you. 1 am just fine ami hope
you are all the same.
It is pretty quiet on this front just
at present, of course no one can tell
when it will liven up One would not
know he was anywhere near the front
line if it wasn't for one of those
big guns opening up once in a while
and nearly taking the top of your head
ff. You never notice the noise when
<111 are in the front line, it seems as
though it's just a usual occurence 01
something.
We have been having some fair
showers lately which liven things up
lots. I received a letter from Aunt Ella
every week and have several to answer
now, seems like 1 or the rest of the
fellows can't catch up with their letters,
hut we all do the best we can under the
conditions.
his Fourth of July was a funny one.
Yes, there were plenty of fireworks.
Three of us boy* were sitting in our
dugout on an out post that day anil
talking of different places we had been
on previous 4ths, then the regular pro-
gram ran on. For supper 1 think we had
what we had over from our days'
ration, which was boiled potatoes with
the jackets on, if we hadn't eaten them
before, cold roast beef, yes plenty of
that if you are not a heavy enter and
lucky, and one-half loaf of breads lots
of it. We like to get bacon or fat
meat, as we take a can and put grease
rags in it for a fire and then fry bread
in the bacon grease. It sure is good, *0
take it all round we have plenty, you
would think so if you could *ee us, all
are healthy and cheerful most of the
time. Well after supper we watched
Frit* sending iTp hi* beautiful flairs, say
you could see them. So it goes on, as
they say it is a great life if you don t
weaken and I don't think, in fact I
know I won't.
•I think Alice will like Tulsa fine as it
is a good place, hope they do fine. Hos

patent law was passed, without the
usual reference to the Patent Commit-
tee because of its being a war measure.
From the government's standpoint
it will undoubtedly simplify the
patent question by eliminating the pos-
sibility of a multiplicity of damafee
suits against government contractors
and will at the same time give the gov-
ernment without any delay, the benefit
of thr latest inventions in all line* of
war equipment, supplies and devices,
the question of damages to the paten-
tee being left for future settlement by-
court proceeding.
From the standpoint of the pat-
entee, however, the cffect iff the

the matter seem to he of the opinion

the news for this time, hoping 1 will I
able to write more often from now on,
I remain as ever,
Somewhere in France, Aug, 9, 1918.
Dear Folks and all at home:
Again I will drop you a few lines
to let you know 1 am fine and dandy
and hope you are all the same.
We sure have seen some beautiful
fields of grain as well as many old
buildings. There is one old building
here which was built in f 23, which is
nearly 1,000 years old. We have seen
all kinds of canals. One place I re-
member the canal runs through an
i fnl large hill and then over a bridge
which makes it very noticeable; it sur-
is all worth seeing, believe me.
I suppose everyone is reading and
following up the war maps, and what
do they think about it?
There is some fruit getting ripe
around here now, such as plums nnd
the grapes are looking fine. 'N on know
the French people are great on their
wine, but it is too sour for me.
Yes, Mother Aunt Cora wrote me the
finest letter; Aunt Ella gave her my
address, now isn't that fine? I am sure
glad to hear from all of them; and I
am sure going to pay all of them a visit
when I get back.
Well 1 am past 21 now and 1 don't
feel any older than I did a year ago,
although I think I have changed some
what since I have been in the I . S. M
C. 1 have met with so many different
fellows hut 1 have never met anyone
1 knew before I came into the service.
llow does Alice like Tulsa bv this
time? How are all the girls and papa?
School start* before long doesn't it?
I suppose the girls will all be glad
hen it does. When does brother
start? Ha ha.
I received another letter from aunt
Ella and one from Fred Willoughby, I
have never seen or heard of any of
her relations as yet.
We got to *ee part of Paris while
passing through on the out edge of it,
and I hope to get to see it all before I
go hack to the U. S. A., although 1
would just as soon see the Statue of
Liberty.
Well we will just have to wait till it's
over over here. Won't it be one happy-
day when we all get hack home again?
I want to write to everyone today
as if one don't write when he gets the
chance it is quite a long time between
letters sometimes. So will close for
this time. I remain as ever, your son,

remedy of suit against individual in-
fringers was more satisfactory than
that of legal action against the govern-
ment, on the ground that if a favorable
judgment is obtained against the gov-
ernment it will be necessary to await
special appropriation by Congress
before such judgment can be paid.
This objection, however, does not seem
to lie valid for it is a well known fact
that Congress is very prompt in mak-
ing appropriations for the payment of
judgments of the Court of Claims, and
it is believed that such judgments will
he paid even more promptly than those
against private infringers. Moreover,
the question of insolvency, which is
likely to arise at any time in connec-
tion with the collection of judgments
against individuals, is entirely elimi-
nated under the new arrangement since
there will never be any question as to
the solvency of the Federal Govern-
ment. Then too, government attorneys
will not be likely to resort to techni-
cal lrgnl defenses merely for the pur-
pose of delaying such actions and for
this reason suits for damages under
the new law will probably go to judg-
ment much more quickly than would
ordinary legal action against individ-
ual infringers.
The suggestion has been made that
the situation might he relieved by the
formation of a Government Board of
Appraisers to determine the measure
of damages in such cases and it might
have been well if provisions for such
h board had been included in the new-
law. There is however, little likeli-
hood that new legislation covering the
matter can he secured now, and any in-
convenience caused inventors by the
new law will, for the present at least,
have to be charged up against the un-
fortunate war situation.—Copyright,

This is not only one of the best and
most efficient medicines for coughs,
colds, croup and whooping cough, but
is also pleasant to take, which is im-
portant when a medicine must be given

Cough Remedy has been in use for
many years and has met with much
favor wherever its good qualities have
become known. Many mothers have
given it their unqualified endorsement.
Wm. Scruby, Chillicothe, Mo., writes,
"I have raised three children, have al-
ways used Chamberlain's Cough Rem-
edy and found it to be the best for
roughs, colds and croup. It is pleasant
to take. Both adults and children like
it. My wife and I have always felt
safe from croup with it in the house."

no opium or other narcotic.
