A New Club Among Aviators.

The new safe and sane" club for
those who risk their lives IN the areo-
plane has come none too soon. 1t is
significant that Walter Brookins, the
airman who is credited with having
introduced the most spectacular aerial
thrillers such as the spiral glide and the
dip-to-desth, should have taken the in
itiative in calling a number of aviators
together for the formation of a club,
all of whose members will be pledged
not only not to attempt any of the
hazardous aerial tricks, but, if possible,
not to permit others to attempt them.
The death of Rodgers is but the lat
est chapter to long series of accidents
due to foolhardiness. If the leaders of
the aviation industry finally realize the
public point of view toward them, if
they knew that aerial gymnastics and
acrobatics are retarding their future, the
"dare-devils" would have been driven
out long ago. Rodgers, Moisant, and
several other famed flyers lost their
lives through carelessness Arch Hox-
sey and tombstone died because they in
vited death. For the past year or more
aviation has been under a blight be-
cause of the toll, and its legitimate de-
velopment will not again begin until the
reckless airmen have been weeded out.
Flying has a future along scientific
lines. 1t should not be exploited by cir
Gus performers, for these have already
gone far in deadening public interest

THOMAS JEFFERSON.
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author of "At Good Old siwash."

Thomas Jefferson. third President of
the United States. and the most fsmous
red-headed man since Julius Caesars
time. was born on April u. 17E. in a
state OF affiuence, and also In Virginia.
both Of which states were regarded at
that time by future Presidents as the
most favorable in which to be born. JEFF
ferson's father was a planter, which Is

As II was. however. he was compelled
to go into the law. When the colonies met

iaration OF Independece. which speedily
became best seller and has promoted
the sale Of gunpowder on the Fourth
Of July ever since. Some people assert
that this act was fatal to Jefferson, be-
cause the declaration was signed on the
Fourth OF July. and its another expired on
the same date. However, there was a
margin OF fifty years between cause and

After the colonies revolted, Jefferson
began holding once and continued to
do so with great tenacity and continuity
finally becoming Vice President in John
Adams administration. Jefferson was
deeply opposed to Adams and Massa-
chusetts and ostentation and other
things and became an insurgent on 1915
counts. He defeated Adams in 800. and
became President, ruling the country
with great firmness and diplomacy for
eight years. On his Inauguration day,

Good Business Fellowship.

One of the first things to strike the
visiting business man in Washington is
the remarkable atmosphere of harmony,
good will, and friendly cooperation
that everywhere pervades the business
field in the city This spirit is one OF
the mainsprings of the commercial and
mercantile advances which are so plainly
discernible just now The good-fellow-
ship that showed itself at a business
meeting of the retail merchants of this
city, held recently at luncheon at one Of
the leading clubs, is plainly indicative of
the fine spirit of solid support and help
full harmony through whose agencies the
merchants of the city are constantly
working for the promotion of business
interests.
Warning has already been cent out by
the Chamber of Commerce 10 its mem
bers and their friends to keep certain
dates open in May for the annual pill
grimage of this active and energetic
body. The outing will be held in Nor
folk and its vicinity, and is planned to
extend over three days. 1t is well that
Norfolk should be chosen for the gath
ering of the representative business men
of Washington. Their eyes are now
turned to the awakening South. 1t is
in that direction that the extension of
Washington's business interests will
most surely develop, and it is well that
cordial relations between our merchants
and those Of the South be maintained.
The fame of the trade bodies Of
Washington as right royal entertainers
of official delegates to conventions to
P the city has spread abroad. On many
occasions they have proved themselves
to be hosts whose dispensation of off
cial hospitality has been unstinted.
Doubtless this has, been, in some cases,
a heavy financial responsibility to
shoulder, but it has been undertaken IN
grudgingly and carried through to most
enjoyable ends.
when the peculiar municipal form of
government throws guests upon the mer-
chants whose entertainment should more
properly besthe official duty of the Dis
trict There have been many instances
in the past when guests of quasi
Official distinction have come to Wash
ington and who would have been de-
prived of proper reception and enter
tainment had not the merchants of the
city generously come forward as hosts
on the occasions. While no complaint
has been uttered by the older estab-
lished among our business men who
have often rendered such service to the
city's reputation for hospitality, this is
a direction in which a share of expense
should be borne by the District officially.

Mi,. Clara Barton.

There's new star in heaven tonight.
The country moarns the loss of kind
ly citizen. an angel of mercy, and a
lovely character. Had Miss Clara Bar
ton lived in the olden days, she would
have been canonized. To-day she is a
saint, and her good work will go down
in history alongside that of other noble
women of the world.
Her life was a memorable one, from
childhood to old age. Through storms of
strife, hunger famine. and pestilence, she
was always the sweet-voiced. soothing
woman so welcome in the sick room, on
the field of battle, or wherever sympathy
and help were needed.
Miss Barton lived her life. She de-
parted knowing the entire world appre-
ciated what she has done for humanity.
With the Great Master, all can say
well done, thou good and faithful
servant"

The Hay Army Bill.

That the Senate is not in accord with
the scheme of military retrenchment
outlined by Chairman Hay, of the House
Committee on Military Affairs is sufi-
GENTLY indicated by its action on Thurs
day in defeating that particular section
Of his programme dealing with the cav
airy.
There IS a real public demand for
governmental economy but there are
other administrative departments where
It cbuld be more wisely applied than on
the army. As a matter of fact, our
army at present rs in chaotic state,
and it is in need of expansion and de-
velopment, if it IS to be made an effec-
tive arm Of defense. The United States
has only fifteen regiments of cavalry,
and the proposal to cut this number
down to ten is assuredly not one to be
commended at this time, when our mill
tsry baroness is fact thoroughly un-
derstood by the chancelleries of Europe,
and our increasing interest in world
affairs imperatively demands an efficient
army as well as an efficient navy.
The mobilization of the troops on
the Mexican border a year ago exposed
some of the weaknesses of our army.
The chief weakness is, of course, its
suiallness, There is no talk of placing
the United States on war footing"
as that term is understood in Europe,
but there is plenty of sound logic in.
the suggestion that the Unitedl States
become more than third-rste power, So
far as the expansion Of its army is con-
cerned.
Under these conditions, any move in
the direction Of cutting down this arm
of defense is resetionsry. Chairman
Hay may have many sound reasons for
his proposal, but there is a feeling Of
relief that the Senate is solidly opposed
to il, and that the army viii not be cut
down IA numbers at this time. This ap-

District Legislation.

Let US be thankful that some progress
is being made with District legislation
in Congress. We are now 10 get a law
which will, it is to be hoped, lessen the
prevalence of carrying concealed weap-
ons, and there is a probability that the
dispute over the ownership of land in
and along the Eastern Branch viii be
settled, so that the Improvements con-
templated can be FASTENED.
II also seems certain that a public
utilities law Of genuine force and value
will soon be passed by the Senate. When
it goes over to the House there may be
some changes, but in the main the
measure shoald meet with prompt APP
proval. The necessity of enacting a pub
lie utilities law for the District of Co.
lumbia has long been emphasized by The
Washington Herald. 1t is measure al
most universally demanded by the citi-
zens, and it will solve in rational and
practical manner the many problems
which are awaiting solution.
There will be no complaint on the
part of the District people against Con-
gress if the Representatives who have
been charged with the preparation of
local legislation will do their full duty.
1t is an onerous and sometimes a
thsnkless task, but the District is alb
solutely dependent upon Congress for
its laws. This is the vital fact which
Congressman must bear in mind and
which should inspire them to undertake
work which has in it no personal re-
ward.

Andy Carnegie started trouble when he
