No naval officer can be truly successful
who is not a gentleman. and therefore
no man who has the interests of the
navy, or of the country, at heart should
be willing to see any but gentlemen,
true gentlemen, commissioned. And
surely no condemnation should attach
to the men who demand that character
besides professional and physical fitness
should govern in appointments. If man

Thousands Send Up Cheer.

at that hour the sea gate was swung
and moment later the tug, which
had been in readiness all day in the
approach channel, turned it's head to-
ward the entrance.
AS the vessel passed inside the lower
lcck chamber a mighty cheer went up
from the assembled thousands that
lined the lock walls, the tugs whistle
was blown loud and long and all the
whistles in the neighborhood joined in.
The Gatun was in charge of Capt
Stewart. Among the party on board
We're Col William l.. Sibert. division

The tug. gayly decorated. in the

to the middle level at 5:54 pm. and
passed into the upper chamber at 6:15

was swung, and, although the tropic
night had fallen, the waiting crowd re-
NAMED and watched the tug sail out
on the placid waters of Gatun lake.
The rOusing demonstration of the early
afternoon was then repeated.

CALLSSTOR|ES Of CASTE
SILLY, IF NOT MALICIOUS
Admiral Moore Declares Ster-
ling Worth Alone Brings
Credit in Naval Service.

Rear Admiral c. =. r. Moore COM
mandant of the naval station at Homo
lulu, Hawaii, has issued a statement in
regard to "caste in the navy" which has
attracted considerable attention in con-
gressional and military circles.
THE proposition, said Admiral Moore,
that there is caste in the navy, meaning
thereby that any officers standing, so
cially, is in any way affected by his
origin. is, to say the least, silly, if not
malicious.
1.-The officers who stand number one
(Rear Admiral Charles L. Vreeland) and
number three (Rear Admiral W. H FL.
Southerland) on the active list of rea..
admirals in the navy today, were APP
prentices before their admission to the
Naval Academy, and except for the fact
that the record shows it nobody thinks
anything Of it, and for all the forty-odd
years of their service. owing to their
sterling worth. the fact that they began
at the very bottom of the ladder has
been counted to their credit.
Some years ago the law was passed
opening the way to sailor boys for COM
missions. A number of warrant officers
have been commissioned. and L venture
to say that not one of them has ever
had any social difficulty due to the fact
that he had served as an enlisted man.
There Is caste in the navy. how
ever, and if there We're more such caste
the country over it would be better for
the whole country and incidentally for
the navy. The caste to which l refer
is the caste that demands conduct be-
coming an officer and a gentleman
ITO be a good officer representative of
the best traditions of the navy means
to be a gentleman, and no man in the
navy. no matter what his rank, will be
accepted socially who is not gentle
man.

CHILDREN OF SWEDEN

System Explained to Capital
Officials by Foreign
! Educator.

Washington children will be in no hurry,
probably, to be transferred from the
schools here to those in Stockholm, Swe-
den, nor is it considered likely they will
urge the officials of the District schools
to adopt certain features which prevail.
The secret is this-Gustav Bergh director
of the 'folkskolan.' or elementary schools
of Stockholm. who has been visiting the
schools of this city. has impaired infor-
nation that schools in that country are
held Saturday as we'll as on other week
days. Mr.. Bergh, who was ain official
delegate to the Fourth International Con-
sress on School Hygiene, held in Buffalo,
n. Y, recently, was introduced to the
school authorities through the Swedish
legation.
Although Mr.. Bergh visited the schools
to gain information. he gave out a great
deal to the Washington school chiefs.
With other things he explained that
the schools in his country held sessions
from s m. until / pm. in the regular
academic subjects. Three times a week,
however, two hours additional work was
given in manual training, industrial or
similar work he said.

Character Considered.

In the navy We do not accept man
or woman who is not possessed of the
character required to represent properly
the service and the country to which
they belong. Occasionally there have
slipped into the navy men wanting in
character and they have found it hard
to hold on. 1t is easy for such man
to cry out caste II he happens to have
been promoted from the ranks, and there
are plenty of men wearing Prince AL
berts, long hair and soft felt hats who
are ready to join the hue and cry.
ITO qualify for a commission one
should properly be required to show
sufficient knowledge. 1t is the easiest
thing in the world to get q certain kind
of people to believe in the claim that
failure at the examination was due to
prejudice. and there is kind of politician
who delights in scurrilous speeches
against men whom he recognizes as his
superiors in moral fiber and decency.
Lincoln, for Example.
1T was no credit to our greatest
statesman that he was of most lowly
origin. The credit, the honor, the wor-
ship of the merican people went out
to Abraham Lincoln because he was a
a man, gentleman. There is nothing Of
record of Abraham Lincoln that would
lead anybody to suppose he could be
guilty of attacking anywhere, to say
nothing Of a place whore he fancied he
was protected from just retrhution. a
body of men merely because they had
q standard of honor and decency that
differed from common political stand
ards
The man who thinks that the posses
sion of Prince Albert. soft hat and
long hair makes him a gentleman has
another guess coming.
by the same token giving a man a
commiss on in the navy does not make
a gentleman of him.

PANAMA. September 27-The most

Grafton of the Panama canal took place
yesterday. when the seagoing tugboat
Gatun, drawing twelve and half feet
of water, was successfully passed
through the Gatun locks 1t now

This was the first attempt made to
operate the locks on the canal. and the
result was highly pleasing TO Col
Goethals, chairman of the canal COM
mission, and canal officials generally.
Hundreds Brave Suns Rays.
All day long hundreds of persons
men, women and children-withstood
the burning rays of the tropic sun to
see the act of passing the first vessel
from sea level to the level Of Gatun
lake. which had reached a height OF q
little more than sixty-five feet. or
within twenty feet of its normal level
The operations were conducted with
great care, and everything went
through according to schedule Ihe
three chambers-upper, middle ana
lower-on the west side of the locks
were used on this occasion. The men
worked far into Thursday night max
ing everythin ready for the operation
The upper lock filled in the forenoon
and in the afternoon the water was ad-
mitted to the middle and lower locks
but it was not until 4:45 pm. that the
water In the lower lock had reached
the level of that in the sea channel

cells. and then start It Immediately
when he gets back into the seat.
Here two savings are at once appar-
ent--one in the gasoline consumption,
which is materially lowered by the
fact that the motor is running only
when the car is In service. and the
other the saving in the time of the
driver over that required by the old
method of starting the car by the
crank at the front of the motor
Velie engineers have discovered
new use for the electric motor starter.
That is, as a disaster saver in cases
where. through manipulation of the
throttle. the motor becomes stalled in
traffic or In other places where there
is an element OF danger.
Often one reads OF a bad accident
occasioned by the motor going dead
on railroad crossing or In a crowded
street. With the properly built cleo
trio starter such accidents can be
avoided simply by pressing down on
the starter pedal. and If the motor
does not respond Immediately the
gears may be thrown In mesh and the
car moved by the starter.
While II is not good practice to
abuse this property of the electric
starter, Ii Is a good thing for the
driver to know that he has power
ready for use In case of bad emer-
gency

AUTOCAR MAKES
TRUCK RECORD
San Francisco to Sacramento
in Fast Time With Charles
F. Walsh at the Wheel

This run was one of the best tests
ever given commercial cars in this
territory and proved the value of
commercial cars in a time of real
need for speed and endurance.
The trucks were started in a bunch
from the foot of Broadway. Oakland,
with instructions to stay together in
the form of parade, for the purpose
of advertising the fair as the arrange
ments called for.
The parade idea was carried out
successfully to the city of Stockton,
but the speed of the cars was increas-
ing with each mile until they were
all travelling at a speed which frac-
tured all speed laws and would have
made 1t hard for the ordinary touring
car to maintain
The nearer the cars approached to
the city of Stockton the harder It be-
came for the drivers to conform to
the parade idea and they arrived in
Stockton at a fast pace, with an al
most uncomfortable desire to open
the throttles of their cars to the full
limit
They were ell expert drivers and
thoroughly accustomed to driving at
high speed and the fact that they
were being held back from making
the best speed their cars were capable
of in order TO maintain the form of
an advertising parade for the state
fair was fast becoming unbearable,
but they all managed to control their
keen desire for full speed until they
reached Stockton, for which they are
all to be highly commended.
When the trucks pulled out of
Stockton the keen desire for top speed

Lozier Electric Appliance Is a
Great Saver of Gasoline
on the New Models

The benefits of the electric starter
are more than merely starting the
car" says Milo w. Beekins of the
Beekins Speers Motor company. Cali
fornia agents for the Lozier car
Outside of starting the car. its
usefulness is most forcibly seen in
the saving of gasoline The price of
gasoline has increased until today it
is an item that has TO be seriously
considered by the automobile user.
that is, in purchasing a car he has
to consider the mileage that the We
hicle will give him per gallon. as
gasoline is an item in upkeer.
The use of the electric starter has
made IL possible to adjust the carbu-
rotor to a nicely, which. is decidedly
economical over what was possible
when the owner cranked the car.
1T would be practically impossible
to start the average automobile with
a crank today, with the carburetor
adjustment. To start a car with a
crank the cylinders must be fully
charged with gas. This means that
the carburetor must be so adjusted
that 1t viii allow of this sufficient
flow. Yet, for ordinary travelling,
there would be no necessity of this
adjustment.
Some cars have auxiliary appli-
ances to allow of this extra gas at
starting, but they have seldom proved
satisfactory. With the electric starter
the adjustment on the carburetor can
be made as economical as desired.
The electric starter turns the engine
over until it has been fed enough gas.
under normal conditions, to start.
Taking a high grade car of TO-DAY
of the Lozier class, and considering
the time it will serve its owner 1t
can be very easily figured out that
the electric starter on this car will
more than pay for Itself in the gaso-
line consumption 1t has saved.
1T has been possible for US on the
49, IA Lozier to adjust the carburetor
to such nicely that there is not
six cylinder car on the market that
can give better mileage per gallon
than this new product we have just
received from the factory.
Another point where the electric
starter proves its usefulness is that
with its use one does away with the
troublesome battery coil"
