THE HEROISM OF KUEEIN
A Testimonial for His Self.Sacrihce Is
Urged.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I have been watching for some
intimation that the heroism of young Fer
dinand Kuehn in giving up his lifebelt TO
woman passenger would receive some
more substantial recognition than mere
words of praise. IL would have been
brave TO do so If he were a good swim
mer, to go down into the deep ocean with
only a chance of rescue, but to deliber-
atcly prepare for almost certain death by
the plunge IN the darkness into tho icy
waters that paralyze every limb in a few
moments--that was heroic. The Carnegie
medals have been given for far less. An
appeal for subscriptions for substantial
testimonial OF popular appreciation of his
self-sacrifice would, 1 think, meet with
generous response, and while such a tes-
timonial could not heal his parents grief
it would surely give them little com
fort. If such a subscription can be made
| would like TO add my little mite to II.

Another GirdIe Round About the Earth

Flying refuses to become old story long as
new skies remain to be conquered and men are
ready life in hand, to attempt them. The proposal
for the Panama Pacific flight afrontS the magma
ton. Yet the response from aviators is prompt aud
enthusiastic, and apparently only large enough
reward-comparab with the expense involved
was needed TO start these circumnavigators their
way.
1t is all but four centuries since the first cir
cumnavgator sailed out by the strait which bears
his name and home by the southern seas around
the Cape of Good Hope. The chart for the airmen
lies far away from his route. for the obvious rea-
son that dry land is scarce in the southern hemi-
sphere and water jumps are the danger spots for
air voyaging. In the Far Norti the Atlantic offers
the only long obstacles and these can be kept
well under the thousand mile mark by touching
at Greenland and Iceland
Phenomenal speed is not probable in any event.
The extraordinary flight of Jules Nedrines from
Paris to Cairo matter of $50 miles took over a
month. And time for rest and repairs is certain
10 make the trip around the world anything but
Pucks fitting The record by rail and steamship
Of less than thirty-sx days will scarcely be
equalled.
In plain fact. the Pacific Panama race will offer
far greater test of the perfection and endurance
of the human machine than Of whirring engine and
wings

A CHALLENGE TO HOUSEWIVES
You Can't Keep Servants, SO Why
Should You Vote?

To the Editor Cf The Tribune.
Sir: Perhaps some of the ostimable
ladies who urge woman suffrage through
the Peoples Column Of The Tribune will
enighten me on these two points:
First-In exactly what way VIII women,
if given the ballot, solve the new problems
created by woman's invasion of the indus
trial field?
Second--Why have women not been able
to solve the one Industrial problem with
which they are most directly concerned
the problem of household labor?

OF the great difficulty experienced by so
many housewives in keeping servants.
