A PRIZE FOR GLORIOUS FAILURE

TT is the Courageous and gallant intent
Of Harry G. Hawker and Mackenzie
Grieve which justifes the inclusion of
their names on the roll of fame. 1t is the
clear spirit of daring that colored their
tragic venture which Lord Northcliffe has
recognized in his distribution of the Lon
don Daily Mails $4,000 prize for
transatlantic flight
The division of the funds between Mrs.
Hawker and Commander Grieves next
of kin appropriately accords with the
scheme which the two lost aviators had
meant to be applicable to themselves.
The grant bespeaks a keen sense Of
values which every one must applaud.
Failure cannot dim the epic splendor of
the undaunted airmen's attempt That
a ten-thousand pound prize is still await
ing the pioneer conquering in the air the
gulf between the two continents in less
than seventy-two hours is also fitting.
Unique was the terrible and beautiful
leap into the darkness from Newfound
land. Unique, therefore, is the award of
prize for a failure of such signal and
touching appeal.

THE ANTI-GoUGE TICKET BILL

THE Daix bill banning the sale of
l. amusement tickets at any other price
than their face value has been returned
to a committee mausoleum for the sixth
time during the current legislative ses-
sion at Harrisburg. 1t seems likely that
this last interment will be permanent. If
so, the public will continue to appear in its
traditional role of victim.
The theatre re-ticket-premium gouge is
a venerable offender. yet old age has
apparently left its vitality unimpaired.
Harrisburg has considered the subject
at regular intervals for years and has
just as systematically dropped it. Mean
while the ticket agencies flourish. The
imposition is perfectly open, and thus
far it has been legalized.
Nevertheless, the practice is of pecu-
liarly eXasperating nature AS in the
case of tips it is not so much the none
tary expenditure which offenGs, but the
manner in which it is made necessary

THE WOMAN WITH THE HOE

A HOE in the hands of woman in a
garden was as potent in the over
throw of kaiserism as any rife that spat
death out of trench in France.
This fact gives Importance to the meet
ing in Bryn Mawr of the Woman's Ma
tional Farm and Garden Association and
points to the commendatory remarks
made by Charles Lathrop Pack, president
of the National War Garden Commission
of Washington, who addressed them.
The association was formed before the
United States entered the war, but the
war gave it impetus. To those who loved
garden for its own sake were added
men and women who foresaw the enor-
NOUS economic value of awakening in
terest in the cultivation not only of
kitchen gardens but of all vacant places.
With the efforts of the members to keep
alive the enthusiasm evoked in times of
stress, all thoughtful men and women
will sympathize. Kai5erism is dead, but
old H. C. of l.. still lives. AS the garden
helped to kill one it may do much to bag
the other.

THE Pennsylvania bridge commission

There is little danger of producing too

food in the present crisis, when half the
world has not enough to eat The war
has destroyed much of the worlds wealth.
The task of the immediate future is to
recreate it. The soil is fertile. The raw
materials are at hand. The determine
tion to produce is all that is needed, for
we have the machinery and the men
equipped to operate it.
Unless we mistake the temper and the

with all their energies, confident that
they will share generously in the results
brought about through their cooperation
with the men directing industry.

WANDERLUST

PEYOND the East the sunrise, beyond

And East and West the wanderlust that

1t works in me like madness, DEAR to bid
me say good d-by
For the seas call and the stars call, and oh,
the call of the sky.
I know not where the white road runs, nor
what the blue hills are,
But man can have the sun for friend, and
for his guide star;
And there's no end of voyagng when once
the voice is heard,
For the river calls and the road calls, and
oh, the call of a bird
Yonder the long horizon lies, and there
by night and day
The old ships draw to home again, the
young ships sail away;
And come may, but go / must, and if men
ask you why,
You may put the blame on the stars and the
sun and the white roads and the sky

WITH A COMMON PORT

TWO ships will be launched at the New
L York shipyard, Camden, today "a
ship of war and ship of peace.
One, the Gilmer, a torpedoboat de-
stroyer, will uphold the honor of Old
Glory in time of trouble. The other, the
Wenatchee, a cargo and passenger ship,
will contribute to the prosperity of the
country in terms of commerce. The mis-
sion of both is to make the world a bet
ter place to live in.
The Wenatchee was first designed as
hospital ship for troops. That it can
be diverted to more peaceful pursuits is
cause for jubilation.
Good wishes for many prosperous voy-
ages go with both vessels!

Travels In philadelphia

We wonder if anywhere in all Philadelphia
there is more delightful cluster of back
gardens old brick angles, dormer windows
and tall chimneys than in the little block on
Orange street just west Of Seventh. Orange
street is the little alley just south of Wash
ington Square. In the clean sunlight of
fresh May morning, with masses of green
trees and creepers to set off the old ruddy
brick, this quaint huddle of buildings COM
poses into delightful picture that would
delight the pencil of Frank II. Taylor. A
kindly observer in the Dreer seed warehouse,
which backs upon Orange street. noticed us
prowling about and offered to take us up in
his elevator. From one of the Dreer win
dows we had fascinating glimpse down upon
these roofs and gardens. One of them is the
rear yard of the Italian consulate at III
Spruce street. Another is the broader gar
den of some religious home, in which we no.
ticed with amusement large white bathtub
summing itself. Then there is the garden of
the adorable little house at 725 Spruce street,
which is particularly interesting because
when seen from the front it appears to have
no front door. The attic window of that
house is just our idea of what an attic win
dow ought to be. We wonder if Mr.. Taylor,
in his sketches of old Philadelphia, has ever
perpetuated this charming vista along Orange
street.
Mr.. Owen Wister once remarked that the
first thing he did when war broke out was to
subscribe to Punch. We are hoping to hear
