Contrary to popular opinion, the
hige size of present day flying boats
and dirigibles has necessitated en
listed flying crews in addition to of
ficer pilots. The number of enlist
ed men carried by the flying boats is
small, but will undoubtedly increase
with further developments in avia
tion. About fifty per cent of the
crews of dirigibles are enlisted men
the remainder being commissioned of
ficers. These crews are carefully
picked from the ground force, which
is composed of trained machinists,
carpenters, riggers, etc.
Owing to the number of vacancies
caused by the release of reservists,
the navy’s aviation training schools
are working at top speed turning out
gas-engine mechanics, gunners, pho
tographers, carpenters, riggers, etc.,
who are finding quick promotion open
to them. This year the Navy De
partment has decided to pick a num
ber of pilots from the enlisted force,
and thi spolicy will undoubtedly hold
good for future years.
Specially trained men can enlist
in the rating in which they are best
qualified, but the untrained or par
tially trained man will spend the first
of his three years in the best equipped
aviation training school in the world.
Commercial aviation is"in its ir
fancy, and hundreds of alert young
sters are taking the navy training
with a view of getting in on the
ground floor of a most modern pro
fession.
“The Navy Recruiting Station will
accept healthy and qualified appli
cants for this service in any of the
following ratings:
. Quartermaster Aviation.
Carpenter’s Mate Aviation,
Machinist’s Mate Aviation.

REAL PROSPERITY |
Real prosperity consists in produc
ing an abundance for everybody and
making good use of it. To consume
it all would be extravagance. To
consume a reasonable amount and
save the rest so as to accumulate
capital to employ people and so in
crease their comfort would be the
best possible use of the resources at
our command.
This is the meaning of the Thrift
program which the government put
on and of the organization of Sav
ings Societies throughout the coun
try.
It is said to be a fact that after
all great wars there is a period of ex
travagance at the very time when
there is the greatest need for indus
try and economy to repair the fright
ful losses caused by war. The gov
ernment is trying to evercome this
tendency by the organization of Sav
ings Societies.
At the same time it has started,
through the Department of Labor, a
campaign to encourage home owning
and home building. This is a very

important form of Thrift. It has
been greatly aided by the organiza
tion of building and loan associations,
of which there has been a great de
velopment in the Eastern and Middle
States during the past thirty years.
Very few of the Southern States
have any considerable number of
these associations. Only Kentucky,
North Carolina and Louisiana cut any
figure in their development. This is
unfortunate, because the Southeas
tern States have a majority of rented
homes, where Eastern and Middle
States have a majority of homes oc
cupied by owners. This section is
also behind the Eastern and Middle
States in the matter of Savings banks,
although there has been a considera
ble growth in the last few years.
There is no section of the country
that needs Thrift as much as the
South and that is why a tremendous
effort is being made by the organiza
tion of Savings Societies to establish
the savings habit among the people.
To accumulate the “nest egg” for
a home building fund or for any
other good purpose there is no medi
um of accumulation so convenient as
the War Savings Stamp, which in
creases in value each month.
The Future of »
“Pleasure in Life”
Many men who do not drink are
not smokers. Many drinkers are
smokers. Many smokers like to drink
after they have smoked themselves
into a dry state.
These things nevertheless do not
foreshadow an immediate national
campaign against smoking. The li
quor forces have predicted this, and
every few days they predict it anew.
They warned us in the old days that
the extinction of saloons and growlers
meant the eventual destruction of
“all pleasure in life.”
It is true that the same forces
which brought about prohibition could
bring about the limitation or sup
pression of cigarettes and possibly of
all use of tobacco as deleterious. But
what were the forces which brought
about pg_ohibition? They were the
voters of the United States. One
would think from some lingering li
quor arguments that prohibition was
the work of a few, when the votes
of all the dry states show that it
was the signal triumph of the many.
Prohibition, as an issue at the polls,
was not even carried by the votes of
the “drys” alone. We had among
us drys and moists and wets. We had
total abstainers, men who use it for
medicine, men who drink every
Fourth of July, men who drink every
week, men who drink every day, men
who drink every meal, men who
drink between meals. And it is not
too much to say that a majority of
every one of these classes voted for
prohibition in most of our states.
Prohibition is no outsiders’ law, It
is no dictators’ law. It is our law.
It is supported by reason and science
‘and sentiment and sense. And the
'danger to tobacco is not in any move
'ment or in any organization. If
there is any danger to tobacco it is
in the thing itself.
Scientists are finding out more and
more about tobacco and its effects.

If there should come a time when all
science will pronounce it a poison, the
end of its use can be foreseen. But
while some may be already convinced
that it is a poison, and while thou
sands believe the cigarette is danger
ous, it is not the organized prohibi
tionists who will be the menace if the
use of nicotine is ever menaced. The
danger will be in the aroused and
educated voter, whether he is a smo
ker or not.
The interests who fear the even
tual prohibition of tobacco have only
one thing to fear; that science will
collect a body of facts which will
move the people as the facts concern
ing alcohol and the saloon moved
them. And if the people vote out
anything they will feel as they did
when they voted out the saloon, that
this will not destroy any pleasure in
life, but will rather increase and mul
tiply life’s real and permanent joys.

THE MARIETTA JOURNAL
EXPORT COMPANY OPENS
OFFICES IN ATLANTA
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 14.—Headquar
ters offices have been opened in the
McClure building, 11 Whitehall street
for the South Atlantic Export Com
pany, in which every commercial fac
tor in Georgia should feel a personal
interest. The entire sixth floor of
the McClure building has been leased
by the company, which expects to re
quire a large staff of clerks and ste
nographers. J. A. Von Dohlan, an
expert traffic man, is in charge.
The South Atlantic Export Com
pany, in connection with the South
Atlantic Maratime Corporation, ex
pects to build up a tremendous ex
port trade with Latin America
through the five ports on the South
Atlantic coast. Every manufactor
ing plant in Georgia will be materially
benefitted by the extension of trade
and reports indicate that they are co
operating with the organization to
the fullest extent.
C. W. McClure, who is well known
throughout the state, has been chosen
chairman of the organization com
mittee, and is now at work with plans
for completing the organization of
the company. He is to appoint com
mittee members in six cities besides
Atlanta, who will interest themselves
in financing the company and build
ing up an export business.
Matthew Hale, of Boston, is .éu'es
ident both of the maratime and ex
port corporations and the headquar
ters of both have been established in
Atlanta. ‘
SOME COTTON PRICES
The country is getting used to 35
cents cotton. As a matter of fact
cotton at 35 cents per pound is one
of the cheapest commodities on the
market, in view of other costs. But
35 cents lacks a lot of being the high
water mark for cotton in this coun
try.
The Henry County Weekly notes
the following schedule of prices that
obtained during and immediately af
ter the Civil War:
1861, highest 38, lowest 11%.
1862, highest 69 %, lowest 20.
1863, highest 93, lowest 51.
1864, highest $1.90, lowest 72.
1865, highest $1.20, lowest 35.
1866, highest 52, lowest 32.
1867, highest 36, lowest 15%. *
Then on up to 1899 prices gradual
ly declined to 7.13-16 highest, 5.7-8
lowest, then reaching 16.15 in 1911.—
