The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1909-10-02

In England the Anglican Bishop of Liverpool, in a
recent charge to his clergy on the subject OF
Eucharist" sic) approves the policy of ntroducing
a white vestment in the commemoratlon of the
Lords Supper But the Churchman, the American
organ of the Episcopalans says that If white were
adopted, "many High Churchmen would find it hard
to sacrifice colored vestments, while many Evangel
icals would have to abandon their opposition to any
kind of Eucharistic vestments."
When such a trife the shade or color of a
vestment is made a serious stumbling block and
stands solid barrier between great divisions of a
single denomination, it is not easy for the most
hopeful Christian to see how the Protestant adher
ents of hundred sects can ever be brought to-
gether as Protestants in the unity of zone Lord,
one Faith. one Baptism."-America

Name Signs For Villages.

The office window suggestion
(writes a correspondent that viii
lagos should be labeled with their
names "fore and aft" is an excellent
one. AS a rule, the name of a village
is d~iscoverable If you happen to see
the ~postoflce, which is usually labeled
"So-and-so postofice," but, as often
as not, the postofice is hidden in
creepers, or round a corner. In a
few districts the name of the place Is
marked. If 1 remember rightly, for
instance, some at least of the VIII
lagos between Canterbury and Whit
stable = where, as somebody re-
marked, "they make the OYSTERS
have their names cons. 3lously stuck
up. If local councils won't do it,
surely every village has some mag
unanimous inhabitant with a paint pot
who would do it for mere honor and
glory.-London Chronicle.

YORKTOWN CELEBRATION

"Cornwallis Is Taken" Rings Out
~Again-Memories Rekindled By
5000 People Finding Their Way to
the Secluded Spot.
Yorktown, Va, Spscial.-Quaint
old Yorktown, for the second time
within the period of its national fame
Tuesday commemorated with fitting
ceremonies that glorious event in
American history with which its
name is identified. Here was laid
one hundred and twerty-eight years
ago to a day the cornerstone Of iber-
ty upon which a great nation has been
built.
"Cornwallis is taken!" Those sim
pie words sent broadcast from here
this date three years more than p
century and a quarter ago meant
that the burdensome yoke Of British
rule had been cast off by the long
suffering American colonists and that
"a new republic, destined to become
powerful, had been born.
Yorktown today is a village of less
than one hundred people. 1t is as
though the stage setting for that
final drama of the Revolutionary war
had been reserved as the actors left
it, a relic Of antiquity as well as q
monument to American patriotism.
The descendants of the signers Of
the Declaration of Independence and
an offspring Of that organization, the
Yorktown Historical Society Of the
United States recently decided to
hold an annual celebration here this
October 10 and henceforth on this
date, and probably five thousand peo-
pie responded =, thor appeal. When
the fact III. yorktown is still with
out ra;Ioad communication is taken
into consideration, the attendance
was remarkable.
To most people present the exer-
cises were the least part Of the cele-
bration, although there was a parade
Of mounted horsemen and horse
women, led by the Fort Monroe band
and the soldiers and sailors, than q
parade Of the school children and -af-
forwards public speaking from q
grandstand erected in front of the
historic old Nelson mansion.
The parade began at l O'Clock and
was full of inspiration. The school,
children of York county, who were
grouped before the grandstand, then
sang "America," after which Col.
Oswald Tilgham of Easton, Md, q
direct descendant of Lieut.. Col. Tench
Tilgham, aide-de-camp to General
Washington, who carried The famous
massage "Cornwallis is taken" to
the Continental Congress In Philadel-
phia, made an address. He also read
the correspondence between Washing
ton and Lord CORVALLIS and the
terms Of capitulation.

WHO OWNS THE AIR?
A Pressing Problem That Must Be Settled at Once is Whether an
Aviator Has the Right Of Way Over Private Property, the
Ownership Of Which in Every Case, According TO the
Old Roman Law, Extends Upward Indefinitely.


at the Rheims meet an aviator was
fined for reckless driving.
The military afrship will necessi-
tate new provisions in international
law to meet the new problems of in
ternational relations which 1t will
raise. France has now seven air
ships, Germany eleven and Italy five
In course OF construction. Given a
fleet Of Zeppelins arriving unan-
nounced above a British port, will
the act constitute q cause of war?
If the aeroplane develops the power
to carry explosives for dropping on
an enemy's feet, will the practice be
permitted under the rules Of war?
The interesting fact In connection
with the suggested regulation OF air
travel is that it is already made nee
essary by an invention only yesterday
in it's infancy which threatens a re-
vision of the statute books along with
it's revolution Of traffic.
In advocating arrangements for a
test suit, Mr.. Fox seems to believe
that after the existing legal status Of
an aerial trespasser has once been
ClSdIly ouLlllCu lhS law u1dJ bC 81
modified that the air will be pro-
nounced a public highway. Legisla-
ton of that kind, however, would be
unfortunate If it were not very accur-
ately limited. There Is q wide differ
ence between navigation of the sea
and navigation Of the air. If q trans
atlantic steamship Is badly handled
those who are on board her may
suffer, and she may injure an
other craft which is On the same
level. There is practically no chance,
however, that she will harm anybody
or anything directly under her, at the
bottom Of the ocean. Shetcan discard
ashes, ballast or any other material
without fearof doing mischief Ifsuch
things are dropped fromsanTirship,
there will always be q possibility Of
danger--a danger which Is enhanced
by the temperamental characteristics
OF. those who engage In aerial Iaviga-
ton for sport.
Editorially the New York Times
says:
"Will the invasion Of the Dir by
aeroplanes be repelled by suits for
trespass?
I'VE think not. The first -stecess-
full human flight made the air a high
way-a possibility not contemplated
in the Roman law. Besides, there can
be no effective possession Of the upper
air by a land owner. Where possess
sion neither is nor has been, there
should be no ownership. At any rate,
this is assumed in Germany and
Switzerland, which have passed stat
utes establishing rules Of the aerial
road"

Fine Yield of Corn.

Aiken, Significantly j. A.
Shuler, one of Aiken county's fore
most farmers, harvested three acres
Of the finest corn yer grown here
abouts, and perhaps the equal of any
grown in the State. The three acres
Melted 348 1-2 busbs3Ss an average OF
116 1-s bushels to acre. In adj
dition to tie corn harvested, l,S00
bundles of fodder were stripped from
the field, averaging 2 1-2 pounds each.
The land upon which this remarkable
yield was gathered is not %extraordi-
nary land but average rich upland,
and Mr. Shuler ascribes the magnif-
cent yield to the mode of cultivation
and fertilization, exclusively. Similar
land last year made a, yield of about
% bushels per acre. Mr.. Shuler is SO
enthusiastic over the field this year
that. he inteds to carry out the prin-
ciple on a wider scale next year, and
perhaps plant the entire corn crop,
using the same methods and fertilizer.
The land is now planted in peas, and
a yield of about 20 bushels is expect
ed. The pea crop was considerably
cut off by dry weather.

New York City.-How high must
an aviator fly to be safe from the con-
sequences of illegal trespass? and
a great many other questions, not
burning now but considered as soon
to be hot ones, were treated by Lyt-
tleton Fox, a lawyer, In an address TO
members of the Aero Club Of Amer
lea. The answer was that the aviator
would have to be out Of sight. He
must dodge the police.
The old Roman law which gives to
the owner of land absolute ownership
also of the air above 1t is responsible
for this. The law must be changed,
he added, or the courts will be ruin
ously congested. AS matters stand,
there having been no changes in tho
law for several hundred years, a man
in a flying machine has no rights that
a man with a pillow is bound to re-
spect. The question is how best to
bring the attention Of the judicial
system to this unfair discrimination
against the flying portion of the race.
No man can fly as things now stand
without technically breaking the law,
unless he gets special privileges from
the landowners.
1t is a problem that bristles with
novelty, says Mr.. Fox. In the event
Of pedestrians being hit by ginger
pop bottles dropped by the passing
aviator or by other objects, includ-
ing The aviator himself, the man be-
low would have redress at law. Mr..
Fox believes the Aero Club should
urge the Wright brothers, for in
stance, to consent to be sued by the
owner of land over which they have
flown (and thereby trespassed), so
as to bring the whole subject before
the courts for settlement. The Juit
should be.a friendly one, he said, the
object being to modify, If possible,
the law of aerial trespass. Another
way might be to condemn the air by
legal procedure, and thus knock over
the historical fossil.
a discussion that followed the adj
dress Of the evening resulted in the
members arriving at the firm belief
that the air should be considered a
highway, and there was preliminary
talk concerning an attempt at legis-
lative enactment.
To avert suits for aerial trespass
Mr.. Fox suggests that the State con-
denim and buy a stratum of air as a
highway for flying machines. The
fact that Count Lambert in his flight
across Paris violated a police regula-
tion. %forbidding aeroplaning over the
city shows that the French have al
ready applied the law to cover one
phase of the question. By leaving
the aerodrome for his Paris flight
Lambert incurred a penalty of 81;

Anthracnose>a Fungus in Seed That is
Destroying Millions of Value in the
Crop.
Columbia, Special.-Startling in its
nature and of vital Importance is the
announcement that comes from Glenn
son College to the effect that the cot
ton anthraenose is causing a loss to
the State Of nearly $5,000,OOO annu-
ally. More startling still is the state
ment that the disease is spreading
rapidly and that many of the farmers
Of the State, in all sections, are losing
from one-fourth to one-half of their
crops.
The announcement came in. the ma
ture of a letter from II. w. Barre, the
botanist at Clemson, to Commissioner
Watson, who made a request for a re-
port on the investigation of the cot
ton anthracnose while on a recent Wis
it to the institution.
During the past year the expert
ment station at Clemson has made a
thorough and exhaustive study of the
ravsges of the a%nthracnose and have
collected data of a conclusive and
convincing nature, which shows that
something must be done to check il
and must be done at once.
".In the majority. of cases." says
the latter, S'the original infection can
be traced to seed Of some ~so-ealled
improved variety purchased from
seed houses or individual cotton
breeders. In a number Of cases an
thracnose has appeared this year
where cotton has not been planted be-
fore. The seed which were used in
planting the fields, when they could
be obtained, were found to contain
the anthracnose fungus. We have in
this way traced a large number Of
cases Of anthracnose to various seed
houses"
The estimated annual loss in Geor-
gia from anthracnose is estimated at
$14,5OO,O0O.
"1,he remedy" states the report,
"of course must be in the form of a
preventive. The seed are acting as q
distributing agent. This we are pre-
pairing to do and by cooperating with
the various other agricultural inter.
ests of the State, we hope that some
plan can be perfected which will &C,
complish this. First then We must In
duce the farmer to secure clean OF
disease free seed"
