PAYS GLOWING TRIBUTE
TO THOMAS F. DAWSON
Service Bulletin Of Associated Press
Tells of Character and
Work.

The career of one of the most widely
known but least written of men connect
ed with public life in Washington is de-
scribed in the last issue of the service
bulletin of the Associated Press. The
article relates to Thomas F. Dawson, now
executive clerk of the United States Sem
ate. who was for many years a trusted
member of the Washington staff of the
Associated Press. and is reprinted from
magazine article describing Mr.. Daw-
sons character and work.
1t is. in part as follows:
For many years-twenty, probably
Tom Dawson wrote reports not only of
executive sessions. but of other Senate
sessions as well. He supplied his reports
to press association and what he wrote
went into most of the newspaper offices
of the country. Naturally he had to be
accurate. nonpartisan, unbia sed-abso-
lutely-and he was. Tom Dawson never
wrote prejudced line in his life. He
never telegraphed a word he did not
think was absolutely in accordance with
the facts

BIRDS BALANCE, MECHANICAL.
Prof. Conheim Discusses Aerial
Eouilibrium Before Germans.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
BERLIN, MAY 13.-The most striking
feature of the recent meeting at Dresden
of the German Scientific Society for Aero
nautics and Aviation was lecture by
Prof. Conheim of Hamburg upon the
problem of balance in the air.
Prof. Conheim drew a bold parallel be-
tween birds and aeropIanes He gave a
demonstration with living doves and sea-
gulls from which the cerebrum magnum
had been extracted. and showed that bal
ance with these birds was purely mechan-
ical Having been deprived of their brain,
the birds could exert no will power and
maintained their balance simply by re-
f1ex movements of the head, tail and
wings. Prof. Conheim argued from this
analogy that it might be possible in time
TO invent automatic machinery which
would keep an aeroplane stable without
requiring any attention from the airman.

follow Immediately after the preceding one was
off the press. The demand, fortunately. was con-
slant, so that the mere saving in printing and
binding in large lots was sufficient to Justify the
publishers in keeping the selling price at low
figure. If the manufacturing had been in small
lots instead of large lots should long ago have
had to increase the prices. When you buy the
new Britannica, therefore, you profit not only by

Dragged Across Line Into Prison.

Foreign correspondence Of The Star
BERLIN. May 12.-An extraordinary
frontier incident Is reported from Lau-
rahitte. in Silesia. 1t is stated that a
young man who was taking a walk on
the frontier line Offered a cigarette to
a Cossack. The latter asked him for a
light, and when the young man, who is

over the frontier trench the Cossack
dragged him into Russian territory and
removed him to prison at Benozin.

Kindly as He Is Efficient.

Hundreds of newspaper correspond
ents have passed through the press gal
lery on the Senate side since Tom Daw-
son went there. and there is not one
of them but has profited by the wisdom
and experience of Dawson, for he is as
kindly as he is efficient. and always
ready with counsel and information
Tom Dawson knows more about the
Senate than any man in it. and when
ne was writing about it he did his work
with less fuss and with more ability
than most of his colleagues.
The influence men like Tom Dawson
exert on the opinions the people hold
on governmental affairs in this country
is 1ncalculable. and there never was a
man In his position who had better
motives, stronger sense of RESPONSE
bllity, more sincere purpose and a
more honest execution than this modest,
quiet. capable man who guards the
executive secrets of the Senate now as
faithfully as he diligently set them
forth in the old days.

After May 18th

the new Britannica will be manufactured in small
lots a few thousand sets each year. and as the
manufacturing cost will be so much higher, the
selling price will have to be increased in proper

Reports Basis for Editorial.

Think of what that means. He was no
special man. writing for one paper OF two
or three directed by an editorial policy
or by an editorial within or by partisan
bias. He wrote for hundreds OF papers.
His part of the report was used as the
basis of much editorial comment. In
many instances Tom Dawsons stories
We're all the readers of papers saw. and
on them they based their knowledge of
what was happening in Washington.
"A great trust. ] should say! And
Tom Dawson never violated it. A
quiet. sincere. honest man. he exerted
greater influence than most people I'M
derstand or appreciate. and there never
was a minute in his writing life when
he was actuated by any other impulse
than t" get the news. get it right, and
send il along. regardless of whom he
might help or hurt.
The senators liked him-all the long
procession of sena tors who served dur
ing Toms work as correspondent-and
