Regulating Aviation Becoming Necessary as Flying Increases. The great increase in civilian fly ing throughout the United States since the beginning of good weather this year is one of the strongest ar guments in favor of the passage im mediately of Federal laws regulating aviation, according to E. de B. New man, secretary of the Aeromarine Plane & Motor Co., of Keyport, N. J. Mr. Newman recently pointed out that unless the Federal government took steps at once toward providing ?uniform air rules the states and cit ies themselves will attempt to solve the problem, with the result that a jnyriad of varying and conflicting laws, good and bad, will spring up throughout the country. This would cripple aviation here, he warned. 0 "Great Britain is ahead of us in regulating airplanes," he said. "As a result her pilots and her manufac turers both have an advantage over ns, and aviation, already safe, is made safer. Just how this law oper ates is shown by the recent summon ing and fining of a pilot for violation of six counts of the Air Navigation Act. These included flying a machine with British markings, not verified as airworthy, and not inspected on the day of the flight. The pilot could not plead ignorance because the act was a national regulation. But if forty-eight states make their own laws regarding, for example, state li censes, heights to be maintained over cities, stunt flying, inspection, and many other matters, hopeless confu sion and consequent discouragement of aviation will result. "Already local restrictions are ?springing up. Four aviators, three 'army officers and the president of a flying club, were arrested recently in Boston for landing on Revere Beach without a permit. If even army fliers-disregarding civilians for the moment-are to be arrested when they land in one or another of the hundreds of American cities be cause they do not know every regula tion of that particular place, aviation will not flourish in the United States. "How disastrous in the event of war would be the lack of a flourish ing aviation industry in peace times is a matter which is so vivid that it may be left to the imagination. Suf " ice it to say that every civilized country is encouraging flying. "It may be said that state regula tion of automobiles has not prevent ed the growth of the industry. The an swer is that no possible legislative stupidity can kill either flying or au tomobiling, but it can hinder and re tard the growth of both. The auto mobile industry has not been per ceptibly aided. I may say by the varying state laws. "Comparison of the airplane with the automobile is a mistake. There are now in the airplanes and dirigi bles far larger and carrying far heav ier loads than an automboile can pos sibly, and in the future there will be vastly greater ones. The airplane is not an automobile of the air, it is a ship, and like the ship it can be reg ulated adequately only by the Federr al Government. "The sooner Congress enacts suit able legislation so that the public both on the ground and in the air is protected universally from reckless flynig, unairworthy ships, repressive or foolish local restrictions, incompe tent pilots, and other dangers or an noyances, the sooner the area of the air will come."-Columbia Record. Frightful Toll of the World War. The following data is secured from one of our exchanges, which paper exclaims, "Is it any wonder that the world is slow in getting back to nor mal conditions?" The world war reduced the popula tion of the earth 40,000,000. This is the estimate of the Society for the Study of the Social Consequences of the War, a Copenhagen organization. Its figures include war casualities, rise in deaths and declines in births. On this basis Russia was the heav iest sufferer, losing 13,000,000. Ger many lost 6,300,000. Austria-Hun gary 5,800,000. France 3,340,000, Italy 2,280,000, Great Britain 1,850 000, Serbia 1,650,000, Roumania 570,000, Belgium 375,000, Bulgaria 275,000. The Carnegie Endowment for In ternational Peace places the direct cost of this slaughter at $186,000, 000,000 and the indirect cost at $151,612,642,560. All the wars between Napoleon's time and the world war showed a loss of life on the battlefield of only 4, 450,000. The known dead of the world war battles total 9,998,771 and the missing 8.991,800.-Augusta Chronicle.

Chicago, June 18.-Minnesota Re publicans today entered their protest against the compromise nomination of Senator Harding. leaders in the state are dissatisfied with the ticket and have written party workers here in an effort to learn what, explana tion of the nomination by the senate group can be offered to the progres sive element to keep it in line. One communication contained the direct question "Was Harding the best the party had?" and others ask for infor fmatl?n on various phases of the pri mary campaign which will be equally hard far the harmony workers to an swer satisfactorily. Seven other states have questioned the wisdom of I the nomination since the convention adjourned last Saturday and tonight frantic efforts are being made by the I standpatters at Republican headquar Iters here to pacify the displeased [elements and prevent their swinging to the third party eyen if it be the Hearst-La Follette organization tak ing form in the east will drain on the Republican votes in November to such an extent that the success of the1 j party will be in danger if the bellig I erent elements are not firmly lined behind the Harding ticket. How a solid front can be presented at the polls in the fall is the one question receiving the attention of party workers here and in the East j according to advices from Washing ! ton today and yet there are so many factions within the camp that work I ers are floundering in an effort to do the most important things first. California and all the extreme West are in a state of political re volt over what they term the "rail roading of Johnson" by the conven Jtion, and the strong Wood states of Colorado, Michigan and Kansas are J deeply stirred by the steam roller I nomination. In addition to these sore I spots there are the elements through out the country wrought over the va rious planks in the platform which J will further detract from the party I strength. Labor is not satisfied with the labor plan as is evidenced by the action of the A. F. of L. convention at Montreal. Millions of voters are professedly against the noncommit tal league of nations plank and a very large number have protested against the tax plank. How all of these factions can be lined solidly behind one candidate and he an ultra j conservative stanpatter is theV task I now before the 'Republican national committee and as yet no statement that "the situation is well in hand" has been offered. J Delegates to the San Francisco convention from Chicago and Illinois I were interviewed today and question ! ed concerning the issues to come be fore the assembly. The solidarity of opinion as expressed in the series of interviews is more striking than has been seen in the past eight years. On only one question is doubt expressed and that is the dry plank. Some party leaders are of the opinion that the wets may stage a desperate fight on the convention floor in an effort to secure the party pledge of at least I moisture. But the suggestion is not seriously regarded by a majority of [the delegation. "There is no issue which promises Ito put the party asunder," said a j prominent Democrat from downstate, j "And unless some very unexpected patch work is accomplished in the Re I publican ranks the San Francisco nominee will enter the November race with greater strength than the party has shown since 1912." The concensus of opinion in the delega tion is that all petty differences on issues will be all completely ironed out at San Francisco, and that the solid forces of the party thus in sured will present a platform and ticket acceptable to the country. 1785 1920 THE COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON Co-educational Entrance examinations, and examinations for the free coun ty scholarships at all county seats Friday, July 9, at a. m.

Value of a College Education There was never a time when expert knowl edge was so highly prized and so highly com pensated. High wages for untrained labor will tempt many a young man to discount the value of a college education. But such an education, repre senting the work of four years, viewed merely as an investment of time and money, is equal in earning capacity to an estate of more than $50, 000. What estate comparable with this can give the parent of average means hope to give or leave to his son? What young man can acquire that much value in the same time at any other business? Education fits one for a life whose possibili ties are limited only by his capacity and charac ter. Eventually for the untrained there awaits the slavery of ignorant and undirected effort. Clemson College brings within the reach of every young man in South Carolina the benefits and possibilities of a technical education. At Clemson College a boy from the humblest home in South Carolina can prepare himself for a high place in the service of his state and nation. ( W. M. RIGGS, President.

To be not merely free from actual sickness, but to be well, abundantly well, exuberantly well-and to have the mental vim and stamina which go with physical robustness! Wholesome food, regular habits, exercise-that is the way to keep fit. Such health is out of the^question for you as long as you are constipated. And laxative and cathartic pills only aggravate and confirm the constipation habit. Nujol works on an entirely new principle. Instead of forcing or irritating the system, it simply softens the food waste. This enables the many tiny muscles in the walls of the intestines, contracting and expanding in their normal way, to squeeze the food waste along so that it passes naturally out of the system. Nujol thus prevents constipation because it helps Nature maintain easy, thor ough bowel evacuation at regular intervals-the healthiest habit in the world. Nujol is absolutely harmless and pleasant to take. Try it. Nujol is sold by all druggists in sealed bottles only, bearing Nujol Trade Mark. Write Nujol Laboratories, Standard Oil Co.
