American Airplane VIII
Make Transatlantic FLIGHT

Washington, March 19.-Plans for q
transatlantic flight by an Americas
airplane are being laid, Acting Secre-
tary of The Navy Roosevelt announced
today,
The flight is expected to take place
some time after May l. Lieutenant
Commander Patrick L. Bellinger has
been ordered from Norfolk to Washing
ton for work In connection with prepa-
ration of plans for the flight, Roosevelt
announced. No orders, however, have
been issued for the flight itself, Roose-
welt said, adding that it was not likely
that the enterprise could take place
earlier than May.
The plans are now to string destroy
ers along the route of the proposed
flight about 200 miles apart. The sea-
plane, equipped with radio, would be in
constant radio communication, instant
notice would be given of any mishap,
thus insuring virtual safety for the crew
and the scientists who will be aboard
for observation.

SEVERE TEST SHOWS
HOW TO SAVE SHOES

"a molder in our foundry wore a
pair of shoes with Ne5lin Soles every
day for ten months and two weeks
both in the foundry, and to and from
his work and they are just worn out. "
The Sessions Foundry Company of
Bristol, Connecticut, makes this report
on pair of Neolln-soled molders'
shoes given them for test.
Ne6lin Soles have none of the short
conings Of other soles. They do not
burn or crack under conditions such
as these--nor do they wear out quickly
under the grind of abrasive materials.
They are made by Science to be es-
pecially tough and durable, will stand
the toughest kind of usage and so
wear longer and save money. More
over, they are comfortable and water
proof
You can get them on new shoes in
many styles for men, women and chill
dren--or as re-soles. They are manu-
factured by The Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Co, Akron, Ohio, who also
make Wingfoot Heels guaranteed to
outwear all other heels.

TOURIST OR TAXPAYER--WHICH?

The Oregonian seems to think it makes difference
because the construction and paving of the Mount Hood
loop will be paid for out of the funds raised under the
provision of the Barrett BILL and not from the pro-
ceeds of the sale of the $100OO00O bond issue. When
it is all the money Of the people of Oregon is really
immaterial what fund it comes from.
OF course the Capital Journal is making losing,
and in certain quarters unpopular fight, when 1t at
tenps to assure the spending of the state road money
the highways which will develop the state and take care
of its growing business and population The Oregonian
announces that the Mount Hood loop will be constructed
and paved and all the other Portland papers and all the
influence of the big city will be in favor OF it. Once it IS
started with moderate appropriation it will be complet
ed even if the cost is ten or twenty million dollars one
of the boosters for the project made the statement before
the highways committee of the legislature that all they
wanted was small appropriation to start with, because
once the work was started would be finished in course
of time no matter what the cost might be. That has
been the history of the lower Columbia river highway
which will give Portland paved road to the beach all
the year round
The Mount Hood loop is purely scenic road; 1t
means little or nothing to the development OF the state
at large its advocates admit that it will be closed to trave
by snow even after it is completed and paved for slx
months in the year.
This scenic road would connect up with the Columbia
river highway and be of great benefit to Portland hotels
and such other lines Of business cater to tourist trade
The people Of Oregon need roads everywhere through
out the state and all willing to pay for building them
They not particularly enthusiastic however over the
prospect of waowing through the mud themselves While
fhev are taxed from SO many different angles to build
scenic mountain roads, as basis upon which Portland may
build remunerative tourist business That's all there
to this discussion over the Mount Hood loopshall our
money 90 to the tourist or the taxpayer?

he was so determined to keep to him

Neil seemed to have recovered his vi
y@clty when he came home to dinner
l said nothing about the quiet way he
had acted at luncheon, but TAXED of
Mr.. Frederick and other things.

"No, was little tired and SO

didn t know. l don t understand why
you wanted me to go with her; but if
there was any real reason, you should
have explained it to me.
He spoke so sternly, that I could not
avoid thinking that there was some
thing behind it all; he had not denied
that he had planned for me to go out
with Blanche Orton, while at the same
time he had made no explanation of
why he wanted me to do so.
Suddenly it flished over me thst for
some reason he wanted me to be seen
in public with Blanche. He had ar
ranged that luncheon not because he
wanted me to have good time, not be-
cause he wanted me with him; but be
cause he wanted people to see Blanche
and me together. Then he had wanted
me to go to matinee with 'her-doubt-
less for the same reason. Oh, it was
shameful-the thought that intruded on
the heels of this one. No, no! l would
not believe that of Neil. If l did ii
would be to believe him guilty of some
sort of immoral liason with Mrs. orton,
and also to insult him by believing he
would use me, his own wife, to cover it
up by being seen with her.

SURRENDERED SOVEREIGNTY.

1t is strange how some of the wars big lessons are
forgotten Many critics of the League of Nations object
that in such league the United States would surrender
some of its national sovereignty
1t may readily be granted that there will be some
such surrender matter what final form the league
takes Any kind of government anywhere, is impossible
without some delegation of authority. And there is
plenty of for discussion the precise amount OF
authority that ought to be delegated in this case to the
governing body Of the league. But the strange thing
about most of these arguments is their apparent assump
tion that it is something new.
How much independent sovereignty has the United
States at the present time? Let us see. We are still
technically at war; We have still in existence great
military and naval establishment And what the status
of that establishment?
Up to the time of demobilzaton our fighting forces
are under the orders of an international council in
which the United States has representation than
it will have in the League of Nations council We have
fought and won this with navy doing the will of
of 100000 men under the command of French marshal
There is no sign of sovereignty which nation
guards more passonatey than the command of its army
and navy. The American government and people sur
rendered this sovereignty without murmur, because it
was so plainly necessary in order to win the war.
For this the allies, including the United States
literally pooled not only their manpower and shippower,
but their industrial and banking power. Even our food
supply is still subject in large measure to the decisions
of an international economic council.
If the United States can surrender or delegate sol
much of its national authority to win war; it can surely
afford to delegate similar authority in smaller degree
to make war impossible hereafter

The names Of the early dukes OF
Normandy, as well as their family
history, are known but very dimly
and it may be as well that it should
be so, for their descent does not seem
to have been as orthodox as it might.
Be that as it may, the dukes appear.
in such reliable annals of their times
as we possess, under their Christian
names only.
Thus, William l of England (Wil-
liam II Of Normandy was the illegiti-
mate son of his predecessor, Robert

Falaise, tanners daughter named
Arletta, or (as some say) Herleva.

BEYOND PUNY MAN
Before Volcanic Eruptions He
Is Helpless.
Fact Made Manifest by the Indiffer'
ence Which He Goes About His
Business After the Disasters
Have Passed.

Under no circumstances does man
show to less advantage than when
q volcano sends forth its torrents. As
a figure of speech, man may consider
himself to be puny creature, but his
working opinion of himself is by no
means so small. In Java the earth
grOaned, and $1,000 people were wiped
out of existence like so many ants.
Perhaps only 10000 were killed; per-
haps it was 10000. No one will ever
know; no one will ever be concerned
I'm the matter beyond the desire TO ar
rive at a reasonable guess as TO the
loss of life. 1t will always be a vague
question, to be discussed in round
numbers. The Javanese who persisted
were indeed puny creatures, whose
memory will be nothing more than a
mathematical approximation.
AS far back as man has a history
there are details of volcanic eruption
to testify to the haphaZard, unwOrk-
manlike fashion in which this world
of ours was made. Pompeii and Her
culaneum are household words to peO-
pie who do not know where Vesuvius
stands, but Stabiae, which was in
quilted with them, seems to have eS-
capped literary notice. Between We
Suvius and Pelee there are few who
have any knowledge Of the volcanic
catastrOphes that have suddenly over
whelmed thousands Of-human beings.
Messina still fingers vague in the pub
lie mind, and Pelee. by reason of its
comparatively close proximity, can be
recalled, although one must ordinarily
consult books of reference to deter
mine whether the loss Of life was 3d.
900 or 100000. The Krakatoa erup-
ton, which took place I'm 1888 on the
Sunda sea not far from the Kalut ex-
plosion, has been studied for years by
scientists, but the fact that 10000 per-
sons were killed is an incOnsequential
detail. The Krakatoa explosion is not
remembered because it caused 10000
deaths, but because ii OccasiOned some
puZzling atmospheric phenomena. Sou
friere, a neighbor Of Mount Pelee, has
a long record of disaster, in which
the mortality figures are usually over
looked. The fact that the explosion
"dS iCaAu OOuil AklCElCd, Willie IL
was not heard at distances of 20 miles,
Is considered of much more impor-
lance. Soufriere, 1t may be recalled,
was in eruption at the same time as
Mount Pelee, but on this occasion Il
killed less than 1900 persons. Per-
haps for this reason 1t Is never men,
toned.
Before the volcano man stands help
less, and he recognizes this fact by his
Indifference. He buries his dead and
goes about his business. AS In the
case Of the Messina disaster, he only
waits for the ground to cool, when he
goes to work imperturba6ly raising his
crops on the dangerous mountainside.
In the meantime he tries to crafty his
taste for information by studying vol
canoes, but without any hope Of being
able to protect himself.
