ON REDISCOVERING.

Next TO the thrill Of redIscoyering
other people is TO feel the sensation
of rediscovering yourself.
Many mine has been abandoned
only to open up its wealth to some
body that felt or that somehow
figured out that there must vet be
precious ore still hidden and wait
ing To be rediscovercd.
How many times We have pridcd
ourselves on the finding of friend
or associate only 10 allow ourselves
to drift from them and TO forget
them. But-Iater To rediscover
them. And 10 find IN them that
| which we before did not suspect.
IL doesn't disappoint me or make
me the less loyal to those | may
love to discover in them those little
faults and failings, without which
few OF us would seem human.
Rather. | see in my friend clear re-
Election of what | am in mis- eyes.
And so keep on exploring with zest
and satisfaction.
For every time | redisco yer my
friend or new fact in nature or
life, | rediscover myself
And 80 YOU may.
First findings are often deceiving
Thought and meditation both bring
balance and broadncss Of viewpoint
We live and learn. But as we learn,
7 we really live. New worlds add
spuzz and spur TO ouT immortal
structures
The wisest man who ever lived,
died with miles and mil, of undis-
covered territory across his n.stless
soul
Sometimes | feel that must he n
much happier discovernr than tven
Columbus, don't you?

Evening star., 1918-02-15

With thousands of skilled mechanics
on its rolls. the Army aviation service
still is finding difficulty in developing
men especially trained to inspect air
planes before they go up and upon
whose care and thoroughness the liVes
of the aviators depend. The work is
distinct from other mechanical phases
of the air service and requires men OF
unusual temperamental qualifications.
as well as highly developed mechanical
knowledge.
The subject Of airplane inspection is
of particular interest at this time, when
numerous accidents to Army aircraft in
training flights. with resultant loss of
life, are being reported. Failure of
the inspector to note a seemingly in
significant defect may send the aviator
to his death.
The care with which the mechanical
elements of the aviation squadrons are
being selected is instanced. it was
learned today, by the fact that at one
camp $500 mechanics. enlisted because
of their training and experience, have
been unsuited to the work. Probably
they will be transferred to deal with
motor trucks or the like
1t is said that the average American
automobile mechanic does not make
good airplane inspector. More or less
and the infinite care required for air
planes does not admit of the use of or
dinary automobile men.
An instance of the minor things that
may bring an aviator to earth lies in
the experience of an officer now in the
American service. His mechanic found
the inlet plug of the gasoline tank de-
fective when he inspected the machine
before a flight.
He replaced it with a plus, of similar
size. The officer went up few a short
distance and tumbled to earth. fortu-
nately without injury. his engine hav-

Government Starts Proceedings to
Acquire Approaches to the Pro-
posed Key Bridge.

The United States, through United
States Attorney Laskey and Assistant
United States Attorney Arth, has be-
gun condemnation proceedings in the
District Supreme Court to acquire land
needed for the approaches to the new
Key bridge, to be projected across the
Potomac in place of the present Aque-
duct bridge.
The War Department has secured a
portion of the necessary land for the
approaches by purchase from the own
ers. Efforts at purchase Of the re-
naming property having failed, the
condemnation became necessary.
The land included in the proposed
condemnation comprises all of square
1883, lying between NJ street, the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal and 34th
and 35th streets; the boathouse prop
erty in square 1879 just east OF the
Aqueduct bridge and the site OF the
stone ruins of an old mill at 35th and
Water streets.

thank you for your article appearing in
The Star OF February IL calling on the
authorities to clean the streets and
sidewalks, and at once. I think and
hope that every citizen of Washington
viii commend you for your effort to
have the streets and sidewalks of this
this beautiful city cleaned. thereby
saving the health and lives OF many
people. The same day the article ap-
peared in The Star had been noticing
the condition fthe streets and side
walks in different parts of the city and
was thinking of just what later read
in your arttcle-about the spreading OF
the disease germs from the awful lit
ter. Why should the street cleaning de-
partment wait for nature to do the
work it has been paid to do? The su-
Derintendent of the department seems
to have forgotten that he has q con-
tract to clean the streets of Washington
only in certain sections down town and
not very many sections anywhere.

plete vassalage to Germany and Aus
tria- The Uhainians are to have Pol
dsh territory. so are the Lithuanians.

enfng to give Lithuanian districts to
Dkrainia, thus fnsuring three-corner-
ed 4nimosity

Proof of Polish View.

In a sense. then. this treaty of Brest-

land Instead OF the Russians the
Ukrainians are to be Joined with the
Austrians and Germans in selfish de-
sire to keep Poland weak. The best
proof of the Polish view of this cession
of the Chelm districts is found in the
action of the polish party in the Aus
trian parliament, which has already
denounced the treaty and declared its
opposition to the Austrian ministry
which made it.
The frontiers of the new Lithuanian
