Richmond Wins.

The National Capital has been passed
by as a regional reserve center by the
federal reserve bank organization COM
mittee and Richmond has been designat-
ed as the reserve center of the regional
bank district in which the District of Co
lumbia is included. The claims of Wash
ington to this business distinction as
well as the benefit which would accrue
to the government should Washington be
chosen were clearly presented by repre-
sentatives of Washington before the fed
eral reserve bank organization committee
on January H. 1t was pointed out that
in the National Capital federal reserve
bank would be Immediately under the eye
and supervision of the reserve board,
which could note from day to day the
operation of the system and could cor
rect defects as they manifested them
selves-defects very likely to be found in
the practical application Of an untried
and complex banking system. The atti-
tude of the organization committee gave
no strong grounds for high hope that
Washington would be chosen as fed
eral reserve center, and although there is
disappointment that the claims of Wash
ington have been denied, yet the disap-
pointment is not poignant

Boy Scout Tag Day.

Tomorrow is Boy Scout Tag day, the
great annual festival when the Boy
Scouts round up their friends-which
means verybody-and collect the dimes
and quarters which will help them run
their useful organization and provide
equipment for their summer camp on
Chesapeake bay. With only few hours
left there is neither time nor need to re-
count the arguments which prove that
the Boy Scout idea and the Boy Scout
movement are valuable things for the
proper development of the boy and that
they thus lay the foundation for sound
and solid manhood. There are good
many men in Washington too old to be
Boy Scouts. though many of them wish
they could be. But tomorrow they can
do their duty by the cause. They can
wear a Boy Scout tag-it might be writ
ten that they must wear tag. 1t
would be difficult for them to escape
even though they should contemplate
such ignominy. With 1000 Washington
Boy Scouts on the trail the untagged
man should abandon hope. Let the tags
futter from the autos and the doorknobs
of the city and from the buttonholes of
its men. The ladies, too, will wear
them and find them modish and becom-
ing. On with the tag!

nical problem in aviation. 1t seems a
long time since the experiments of Prof.
Samuel P. Langley with the Buzzard at
Whitewater, a few miles below Washing
ton. Yet those tests were held in the
fall of 1903, just about ten and a half
years ago, though it is known that Lang
ley flew models as early as 1896. 1t is
worth recalling that various distinguished
mathematician proved by figures that a
heavier-than-air machine could not fly.
During the summer and fall of 1908 mat
ter was getting into the newspapers con-
corning the flying and gliding tests of
the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk, n. c.
When Bleriot flew over the English
channel the world gasped. A little while
afterward a flock of eight aeroplanes few
over in a single day. and now flight
over the channel is such a trifiing thing
that newspapers either report it briefly
or do not report it at all. Garros has
flown over the Mediterranean: airmen
have flown across the Alps and Pyrenees;
1ngold, German airman, has made a
continu GUS fight of sixteen and one-half
hours; LegagneuX has sailed three and
Seven-tenths miles into the sky; Provost
has flown at speed of over 125 miles
an hour; Pegoud flies upside. down. and
transatlantic flight is talked of. Perhaps
it may be- accomplished. Nobody doubts
now that flying machine will fly. There
was recently some talk of attaching
modern motor to the old BuzZard with
a view of ''vindicating'' Prof. Langley.
Langley has been vindicated.
