a monoplane that carries three people
and has made the round trip between
Boston and New York without alighting
This is important enough in itself to cause
the students of aviation to sit up and
take notice. but the most startling phase
of the situation is yet to be disclosed
According to a statement just published,

air. This Is the more appreciable as a
dilemma for the aviator when 1t is re-

highest recorded aeroplane flight Mr.
Tillinghast appears to have been quite
equal to the emergency. He stopped his
engines and allowed the machine TO glide
for forty-six minutes. in the course of

The fifth man now appears.
This is David r. Francis, former Gov

all-around and powerful business con-
nections. He is about sixty ambitious,
rich. and can afford the game. He has
friends who want him to sit in again.
The proposition is that he stand for sena-

Mr.. Francis. being Cleveland man in

opinion of this faculty that the contin-
uance of foot ball a game for under
graduates depends upon an effective re-
vision and enforcement of the rules resu-
latinS the game. This opinion applies
further to the selection of officials and to
the conduct of players and coaches
Recently meeting were held i'm this city
attended by the administrators of the
twelve eastern colleges of the Jesuit or
der in the course of which the foot bal
question was discussed, together with the
general question of college athletics. The
result was a general agreement that I'M
less necessary and hopedfor reforms are
soon instituted these colleges would feel
Obliged to discontinue the game"
Similar action has been taken by a
sufficient number of colleges to assure a
material lessening of foot ball play next
season If the rules are not reliably
amended in the interest of life and safety
1t will be impossible for the college au-
thorities to withdraw with honor from
their avowed position of opposition to the
game as it is at present played Behlnd
them is the great force of parental an
ia gonism In previous years denuncia-
ton of the rules in the fall has yielded
small results during the next season. But
there seems to be reason to believe that
the crusade for foot ball reforms Will
now be carried through to conclusion
The fate of the sport rests with the rules
committee. If the playing rules are
changed to eliminate the dangerous fea-
lures of the sport the game will be
tolerated. on sufferance. If no heed is
paid to the demand for change or if the
changes ADOPTED are not effective. foot
ball will undoubtedly be put under the
ban of the law i'm most communities.

Defenders of Privilege.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
So long as the privileges of their own
class were not tempered with the lords
proved willing partners = in socialistic
measures. They were ready to aid in the
creation of more numerous privileged
class on condition that they were let
alone. They fondly imagined that they
were fortifying themselves and the tory
party of which they are the standing
ally, in the affections of the British peo-
Pile. But a huge annual deficit was
made inevitable by sweeping social re-
forms such as these and by the frenzy
of militarsm and clamor for more Dread
noughts which lingo agitators contrived
to arouse at the sight of Germany's war
preparations. The chancellor of the ex-
chequer was called on to raise $50. OOO, OOC
of additional taxes But the moment he
stretched out unfeeling hands toward
the wealth and property of the country
ard proposed to raise a small part OF the
national revenues by taxing the peers
land they rose like one man in frantic
revolt. Lloyd-George was a Jack Cade
who sought to sack the citadel of British
society. His scheme was pure socialism,
and the house of lords stood as the ma
tons sole defense against irretrievable
disaster.

Foot Ball Reform.

In about two weeks a meeting will he
held in New York city for the considera-
tio1 of possible changes In the foot ball
playing rules. Those in attendance will
represent the leading educational insti-
tutions in the country. This committee
is the supreme council of foot ball so to
speak. It's word is law but it is itself
subject to the higher law of public opin-
ion When IL assemblies il will be con-
fronted with two propositions-first, the
insistence of advocates of the game as il
Is now played that the sport is safe and
that accidents incidental to it are due not
TO the rules. but to the folly or unpre-
paredness OF individual players; second,
the demand of parents and of many col
legiate and university faculties that the
game be regulated that foolhardy or
unprepared players will not be exposed to
danger of permanent disablement or
death.
During the season just closed some
thirty boys have been killed on the foot
ball field and many scores have been
more or less seriously hurt The game
has been put under the ban in several
cities by public school authorities and
has been abandoned by number of the
collegiate institutions The United States
government has been singularly incon-
sistent I'm its position in this respect
Upon the death of foot ball player at
West Point the game was discontinued,
for the season only. "out OF respect for
the memory of the dead cadet" At An
napolis player was apparently MORALLY
injured. but the game was continued
nevertheless. there being apparently in

Fairgrounds for Washington.

II is earnestly to be hoped that the
House subcommittee on District appropri-
stions will this year write into the Dill
provision for the Fairgrounds of wash
ington on a more liberal scale than was
adopted for the current appropriation act.
The local Fairgrounds have not merely
justified their existence during the past
summer bat have been proved to be a
vital necessity without which II Is not
possible longer to conceive the city, even
though Washington without these
valuable facilities for the healthful recre-
alton of the children for many years.
The pitiful sum of 81 500 was all that Con-
gress gave for the present year. The
estimates now before the subcommittee
include an item of $4,000 for mainte-
nance, $4,000 for toilet and storage houses
and swimming pool at two of the grounds
and for general equipment purposes, while
another item of $4,000 for new sites is
also submitted.
Fairgrounds are now maintained as
municipal adjuncts in New York. Chicago,
Philadelphia. ST. Louis. Boston, Bal1-
more, Pittsburg Cleveland. Buffalo, De-
troit San Francisco. Cincinnati. Wash
ington, Newark. Providence and numerous
smaller cities. According to the statistics
in the cities specifically named the
average cost per city for the maintenance
of the Fairgrounds was approximately
So. 700. and the average cost per capita
was cents. For less than dime apiece
the inhabitants of these cities furnish
their children with spaces for recreation,
and in most cases with apparatus for
games and exercises, and also with
sufficient attendance and supervision. No
one can ever know the returns upon this
investment in terms of better health and.
where the supervision has been efficient.
in better morals.
What Washington asks for its play
grounds is a modest sum compared with
the good that will surely result from the
development and adequate maintenance of
the playground system. The money can
not be better spent Thousands of chill
dren have been taken off the streets and
from their rough demoralizing games and
from evil associations and given an oppor-
tunity and an incentive to play healthfully.
and furthermore, to occupy themselves in
structively in gardening and in little
creative works of an educational char
acter. Parents have been taught to realize
more keenly than before the necessity
of careful summer supervision over the
little folks. The burden of responsibility
has not been shifted from their shoulders
in the maintenance of these play spaces.
With the results in good health and better
conduct the part of the children,
fathers and mothers of the city have
been brought to realize more keenly than
ever the fact that the children re-
quire systematic provision Tor whole
some exercise.
Statistical proof of the value of liberal
playground appropriations has been fur
nished the District subcommittee of the
House by President Hitchcock of the
Fairgrounds Association. 1t should be
effective. Washington should no longer
trail at the end of the procession of the
cities in this important matter of caring
for the moral and physical health of the
young.

Protecting Historic Walls.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Philadelphia has been wise and fortu-
nate beyond most American cities in
protecting and preserving its historic
buildings. Councils bought several prop
critics and opened a street to protect
Christ Church. independence Hall, after its
restoration by joint public and personal
effort, has been kept in an order reflect

has just announced that the approaching
loan will contain an item for the restora-
ton of the building on the southeastern
corner of 9th and Chestnut streets. where
the Federal Senate and House sat when
Philadelphia was the federal capital.

Bleriot.

NJ. Bleriot's mishap will awaken more
than ordinary sympathy. He has an
unusually strong claim upon admiration:
Aviation is developing some brave men
and recording some brave deeds, but
the man who first negotiated the English
channel overhead will always have a
place apart. The achievement gave the
world a thrill, and it will not be for
gotten. Good luck to the adventurous
Frenchman. and may his years be many
enough to give him the sight of as many
ships in the air as sail on the sea.
