ALEXANDRIA. VA. NOV. q

The spirit of Thanksgiving was 1p-
parent in Alexandria today because OF
the generous response which was made
to the appeals Of the various charitable
organizations Of the city for aid on their
annual donation day. At Doth the
Alexandria Hospital and the Children $
Home the responses were gratifying to
the managers, wagon loads after wagon
loads of supplies having been received.
The school children became interested in
sending gifts to the two institutions and
nearly every child in Alexandria and
surrounding towns contributed their
mite. At the Episcopal Church SER
vices today one half of the collection
went to the Alexandria Hospital and at

collection was given to the Children $

THE SUPREME FEAT.

Adolphe Pegoud. the French upside
down aviator, thinks the negotiation
of the Atlantic ocean feasible under
try it and thinks it will be accomplish
ed in the near future.
Pegoud scouts the idea that his
topsy-turvy performances in midair
are foolhardy. If he thought they
were he says he would not DO them.
He declares he is a sane aviator and
attempts only what he is quite sure he
can perform. An aerial trip across
the Atlantic he says. is merely mat
ter of precautions. which means MAX
ing the long flight over water COM
paratively as safe as shorter fights
over land.
One would want a waterplane of
sufficient size, motor of extraOrdin-
airy power, wireless equipment and a
convoy of swift vessels, torpedo boats
he suggests. From a superficial study
he thinks aviation is SO far advanced
the flight might now be attempted
across the shortest route, from the
west coast of Ireland TO Newfound-
land.
1t can hardly be expected that the
first attempt at so long a fight should
succeed, nor can it be hoped that
several will not fail; but each failure
will contribute to the success of the
next venture by pointing out the mis-
takes. Doubtless there is a way OF
doing 1t if it can be found. and it will.
Sacrifice of human life and capital in
the development Of aviation have
taught us that nothing can stop it.
There is no reason to doubt that the
crossing of the Atlantic will be ac-
complished within the next few years
Among aviatOrs this feat is regarded
as the greatest prize of the air. They

The full significance of the sweep

States Sen. b. +. Shively to the city

ing in on the consciousness of South
Bene and as that significance is real
lied. the better become the chances
for sweeping victory for Mr.. Joyce

Sen. Shively is no mere party bound
partisan. He is a democrat spelled
with capital u, a progressive dem
ocrat Of the school OF Woodrow Will
son. He is the kind Of a democrat
who is interested primarily in the car
rying out Of principles that are i'm
portant to the welfare of the whole
people.
Moreover Shively speaks from first
hand knowledge. If Pres. Wilson
himself should come here to speak in
the interests OF democratic victory in
South Bend. his words would be less
entitled TO weight than those of Mr..
Shively. For this is Shively's home
town. He knows the men and the is
sues. He is not talking generalities.
lie is not discussing academic the
cries. His endorsement of the city
ticket is not a blind endorsement. 1t
IS made only after a careful appre-
citation of the situation. and an under
standing growing out OF many years
acquaintance.
Moreover Sen. Shively comes back
10 us with an increased breadth of
vision. He has the advantage of
perspective. He can see that this cit
liens movement is simply a tempo
rary expedient To get into office, that
