10 tne Editor or The Star:
On the morning after the celebration of
our sacred day." which was SO beauti-
fully illustrated on the cover OF your
Sunday Magazine, I was thinking OF the
army Of brave old men and women who
had to return to their desks in the vari-
GUS departments OF the government In
this. our capital city, feeling that IL We
really did honor the founders of our
government and the dead heroes who
preserved us q nation. we could no longer
oppress the living. Our good Presidents 8
Love Of country. love OF family. love
Of Cod should be expanded by love of
humanity, and q prayer that we may be
fair and Just. tried and true to all human
beings. Abou Ben Adhem-may his tribe
tncrease-received the seal of Gods love
because he loved his fellow-men.
I'VE have great government. the best
in the world" II that be true is It
seemly to scatter flowers over the graves
OF the dead ono day and the remaining
364 enforce the requirements OF a civil
service that has unQuestionably driven
many. altogether too many, In anxiety
and sorrow to their graves?
If we are really and truly great-as we
are fond OF eulogizing ourselves-our

for another fiscal year to bear the black
blot Of unpensioned civil servants.

ACTIVITY IN AVIATION
AT COLLEGE PARK, ND.
Government Is Building Hang
ars and Or. Christmas Is
Constructing AeropIane.

College Park is now taking on q Look
Of potential activity. It Is not real
activity yet but it looks as though
things might be doing in the aviation
line in a little while Tho frame Of the
first government hangar Is now up, and
three moro OF the Same sort are to be
erected at varying periods up to sixty
days. The hangar that was built on
the flying field some time ago. and has
never been occupied, Is now open. and
DR.. w. w. Christmas is constructing
an aeroplane. which possibly may meet
with better luck than the first one
which he built at College Park. but
never succeeded in flying.
The Rex Smith Company. whose first
machine made its initial fight at Col
lege Park. has a second one about half
completed in the old hangar. The new
machine is built on the lines Of the
old one. with tho exception that 1t will
have flexible wing tips that will tend
to preserve its lateral balance. The
aeroplane looks. experts say as though
1t ought to be both fast and good for
cross-country work. There are a num-
ber OF small technical changes from
the first machine. ell of which are
theoretically good. It remains to be
seen whether they are actual improve
ments in practice.
Test Of Berliner's Motor.
The new Smith machine will be equipped
with HallSoott aeroplane motor al
though the new rotating cylinder motor OF
Emil Berliner Is almost ready for a serious
test. and will be installed in the machine
as soon as Mr.. Berliner is ready to lot /,
go from his factory. He says that he In
tends to give It a five-hour shop run
before he has It tested in the air. The
motor was given q half-hour run and
stood up satisfactorily with the exception
that the crank connections heated a little
toward the end Of tho run. This was due
to the fact that the parts were steel
working on steel. A change Is now being
made by which phosphorIbronze will be
substituted for the main bearing, and It
is thought that this will eliminate all
danger of heating. II the motor performs
as well as 1t promises there is every
reason to expect that 1t will prove to be
the best of the American aeroplane
motors. and there is no reason why
records should not be broken with it.
A factory for the Rex Smith Company
Is now being built This is large enough
to assemble two aeroplanes aside from the
floor space occupied by the machine tools
and motive plant. An engine for supply
ing power in the new factory was moved
in yesterday.

land Gap, Tenn. 1t is a worthy object.
and the endeavor to erect a monument

serves support and announcement"
Gen. Thomas H. Hubbard, in starting
the movement with his check for 81 600
and inviting his friends to join with him,
says:
Gen. Howard. q lifelong worker for
philanthropies and critical judge Of
their merits. often said that nowhere in
the world can money bring better results
than at Cumberland Gap and through the
Lincoln Memorial University. Pupils of
the best type are there, eager to receive
instruction and to carry 1t to others like
themselves in their home region
Even generous people get tired of re-
peated solicitation for contributions to a
good cause to which they have already
given. But gifts that will produce for
education the results predicted by Gen.
Howard. and that at the same time will
be deserved tribute Of respect for him,
may well be cheerfully made and re-
peated.
