WftftTED TO "GO IT ALONE*
Man/ Year* Ago Missouri Declared
Her Ambition to Become an In?
dependent Republic
Missouri once bad Intention of set?
ting up as nn independent republic
all by herself. The Seeslon acts, state
of Missouri. 1838-1830, contain a me?
morial to the congress of the United
States relative to the Santa Fe trad**.
Tt tells of an expedition of traders
to Santa Fe in 1812 from St. Louis,
though It Is not specifically stated that
they wont over the Santa Fe trail.
The early Session acts of the Mis?
souri legislature, starting In 1824, con?
tain many Interesting resolutions and
memorials to congress on all manner
o$ political and historical subjects.
Incldentally the Missouri constitution
of 1820 starts with the preamble that
the citizens of the state agree to form
and establish a 'fee and. independent
republic by the name of the state of
Missouri.
Missouri was one of the pivotal
states in the history of this country.
Tt was made such in the ancient fight
in congress over the* slavery question,
which ? took up the admission of free
and slave states and considered the
balance thereof In congress. Missou?
ri was also a pivotal state In yet an?
other and larger sense?she was the
Juinplng-off place for that wild and
unknown country called the Wild West
-*-the larfd west of the Missouri river.
She made the midway point between
the frontiersmen of Kentucky and
those of the great plains, occupying a
generation of history herself as a
frontier commonwealth. .1,1

Jason a Legendary Character.
Jason was the leader of the Argo-*
nautic expedition In Oreek legend. The
equivalent, of his name in Greek is
the healer or atoner. Jason was tu?
tored and brought up ander Chiron, a
(I reek myth renowned f<* his wisdom
and skill In medicine, bunting, music
and prophecy. Jason's greatest ex->
plolt was his expedition with the Ar?
gonauts In quest of the Golden'Fleece.
Jason secured this by the aid of Me
den, a sorceress who fell In love with
him. She protected him from the hulls
breathing fire and hoofed with brass
which he was obliged, In order to ob?
tain the fleece, to yoke to the plow.
She also protected him from the
armed men who sprang up from the
dragon's teeth which he was required
tp sow In the fields. Medea fled with
Jason and the fleece and married him.
Teil years later Jason abandoned her
after she had murdered Creusa, Whom
Ason had determined to marry.

Vienna May Be Center
Of European Air Navigation in
the Future
. -_
Viennal August 26?If plans now
making are carried out Vienna will
^tcome one of the great centres of
Kuropean air navigation.
When soon after the conclusion of
hostilities England, France and Italy
prepared to girdle and crisscross )$u
rope with air* route**, it looked as lf>
Austria was to be left out altogether
.Irr favor of friendly countries, the]
'lanes being laid out via Prague in the
north a*id south over Italy, Lalbaclr
and Agram. With the arrival here of
various missions-and an understanding
not only of the favorable geographi
?al location ->f Vienna but also of Its
existing facilities, the scheme has been
.-hanged to centre many of the lanes
here.
It is understood that Colonel Barres,
"hief of Allied aviation control In AOs
hiu, tnkes this view, ahd* favors the
use of the great Aspern aviation Held,
as a ? entral station. This held Is only
i few miles from Vienna and Is abun?
dantly equipped with hangars and re?
pair shops, gasolene tanks and all the
pyraphernall l. of a great war plant.
Companies subsidized by the British
?rovernrrjent arc arranging for an air
?be from banden by way'of Brussels,
.'oblenz. Munich, Vienna, Budapest,
Belgrade and Btoila to Constantinople.
Vienna is' exactly in the centre of this
rout'?, which Is i'.4of) meters long.
One of* the otlieials of the British
Vlckers concerns has been here per?
fecting an a/angement with th<> Vien?
na Aircraft Navigation Company to
care for the service between Miinioh
and Vienna and Vienna and Budapest.
This contemplated care of planes at
Aspern, their repair, transhipment of
< argo when necessary and looking
after pasengers. who will be brought
by motor to Vienna hotels and back
to the Aspern field.
