STANDARDIZATION PAYS

When county agent of a community
standardizes any product, orders are
sure to come. The following from a
letter from the county agent Of Old
ham County dated April 18th, tells
its own tale: Received inquiries for
a total Of TAO White Rock Matching
eggs to-day from other counties. The
results of two years work on White
Rock Standardization has resulted in
calls for eggs and stock that exceed
our supplies. The people can't fill all
orders that have been received. A
number of orders for eggs have been
returned and some orders for stock
have had to be returned because the
people could not fill them. Two dol
lars for pullets and five dollars for
cockerels have been the extreme
prices paid and the people can not fill
the orders that come in. All this is
due to the advantages of adopting one
special breed. Our only difficulty
now is furnishing the goods in suffi-
cient quantity. Have received orders

WlNGING TO HORTA

TT CANNOT be said that the impossible
was wrought in the American seaplane
fight to the Azores, the first flight over
so wide a stretch of the ocean. Expecta-
ton of the miraculous is the temper of
the age, perhaps its most significant
aspect Reality elbows imagination
almost out of human consciousness. Con-
tidence in the power of man was never so
firm and undaunted.
Herein lies the real thrill of these
daring days. Faith that an act never
before accomplished will be done in a
way perfectly in accordance with an
elaborately preconceived plan is some
thing entirely new in history.
The picture of Columbus is the COM
pete antithesis of the current master
piece. He stumbled upon new world.
Upon the first authentic transatlantic
sea voyage he, in sense, felt his way to
greatness. Lieutenant Commander
Albert c. Read and his colleagues sought
no uncertain goal. They aimed directly
for something which no man before had
ever reached. There is signal beauty in
such superb self-confidence. There is
even more startling daring in Harry G.
Hawker's nonstop venture, which now
gives such racing zest to the deeds of
the birdmen.
The glory of the American navy's ex-
ploit is best realized by stimulating the
powers of retrospect. Less than decade
ago Walter Wellman's ill-starred attempt
in a dirigible was reckoned almost alb
surd. The fancy of Wells or a Verne
was hardly equal to the task of picturing
the prodigous development of the air.
plane within the brief space of ten years.
Yet so breathless was the progress
that the nature of the feat itself did not
constitute the sole claim to intense popu-
lar interest. The world had faith in a
cross-ocean flight. A prime question con-
cerned who would be the first to make it.
1t is obvious that the practical effect
Of this victory in the air is not immi-
nent. Flights such as the NC-4 took from
Trepassey to the Azores, twelve hundred
miles away in the Atlantic, are not likely
to become common for some time. The
failure of the NC-1 and the disappear

the perilous uncertainties of overseas
flights. 1t is, however, perilous to

the sad scene of decay at the southwest
corner of Fifth and Chestnut streets.
The Supreme Court building and former
j City Hall which stands there is fast be-
coming ruin. Ravages of neglect are
visible in its shattered windows, its un-
painted frames and doors, in the general
air of abandonment which pervades one
of the most celebrated edifices in the land.
When Philadelphia was the national
seat of government John Jay presided
over the Supreme Court in this structure.
Subsequently after the removal of the
capital, it had long, distinctively local
career as the City Hall. Its lamentable
shabbiness was a most unfortunate blot
on the memorable picture of last Thurs
day.
The same expert commission which has
directed the reconstruction work on Inde-
pendence Hail has already its plans in
shape for the resuscitation of the de-
serted courthouse. 1t is the requisite
appropriation by the city which is tardy
Continuation of the delay may have
highly regrettable results. The building
should be rehabilitated as soon as possi-
bic. The present scene is intensely un-
fattering both to patriotism and to local
pride.

soldiers, but they should not be built to
the exclusion of memorials, the sole value
of which will lie in their APP cal to the
spirit. The Nelson column in London has
been an inspiration to generations Of
Englishmen.
Our memorials must be of such char
acter as will reveal to the future the soul
and heart of the nation which fought the
war, and typify that belief in democratic
freedom which is the glory of the Ameri-
can people.
In this state we, fortunately, have
created an art commission, which will

ments to be erected in public places, and,
if We mistake not, its members will act

DELIMITING "FLYTIME"

sTIME was when even the most careful
housewife might have scoffed at a
call to battle against mosquitoes, flies
and other summer pests. That was be-
fore sanitary experts fully understood
the causes for their spread.
The solution of those mysteries, how
ever, gives to the message sent out
by Doctor Krusen practical value
that has no relation to impossbilities.
Furthermore, the gradual disappearance
of horse traffic is removing one of the
prime agencies of the fly plague. Tha
housekeeper can complete the Job, es-
pecially by the judicious use of fiypaper
and the tight closing of the garbage pail.
When De Lesseps's men died by the
( thousands in Panama it was not fully
realized that stagnant water meant a
mosquito carnival. But that fact is a
truism now, and there is no excuse for the
accumulation of water in barrels, pans or
buckets about the house. Of course,
there will still be mosquitoes in Phiadel-
, phia while the reclamation of the swamps
Sn the southern part of the city remains
nncompleted. But the ordinary citizen
can do great deal despite the munich
pality's laXity.
Doctor Krusen's sanitary instructions
are specific. Complaints about an un-
clean city lack conviction from any house
holder who fails to heed them. Uncon,
ditional determination should be the kew.

We are not unconcerned in the tariff.
An inteligently applied protective tariff
law has developed the industries of this
state beyond computation.
1t has built our great steel mills.
1t has made possible the factories en-
gagged in the manufacture of textiles.
1t has put dollars into the pockets of
hundreds of thousands of workmen born
here and has attracted hundreds of thou
sands more from other parts of the coun-
try and from other parts of the world
1t is expected that our representatives
will look after the old industries and it is
expected, too, that they will demand suffi-
cient tariff protection for the new indus
tries developed out of the war to enable
them TO survive under foreign competi-
ton.
We are making dyestuffs and chemicals
which we used to buy from Germany.
We bought them from Germany because
no one thought it worth while to give
their manufacturers here that protection
which was needed to build up a new in
dustry. Within the metropolitan area
there are dye and chemical works which
cannot survive unless they are taken care
of by the government before the German
manufacturers again enter the world
markets.
The war taught Us how dependent we
were on the rest of the world for certain
commodities which we could produce
right here at home. 1t would be fatal
mistake to drop back into that state of
dependence. but unless the Pennsylvania
and New Jersey and Delaware delega-
tions in Congress, whose members under
stand what has been done by their con
stitucnts, unite in insisting on the right
kind of legislation there is danger of
making that mistake.

The Game Of Games

You may rave of tennis. cricket,

,Bowlng's good for those who like it;
Many men are proud to hike it,"
And the deadly game of football has its
boosters and its clan;
Ride a horse If you enjoy Them;
Toss up targets and destroy them
But to me the rolling pillows are the
making of man!
There are some (no doubt they're brutaD
Who think every sport is futile
