A ERIAL supremacy, goal all nations
~ are seeking now, whether for war or
for peace, is being attained by the
British in the most effective of all ways
popularizing aeronautics through sport.
America recently has had an object lesson

line of sport No correspondent describing
the golf matches in both the mems and

ever circumstances entered into America s
downfall. the principal one was the ability of
the Britishers to play golf.

to stimulate public interest in flying. But
their utility is more than advertisement and
propaganda. The flying prizes given since
1907, notably by the proprietors Of the Lon
don Daily Mail, have done as much for the
improvement of engines and aeroplanes as
similar competitions did for the motor car in
it's earlier stages The aircraft have to be
designed and tuned for fixed conditions, the
performance improving and the competition
being keener each successive year.
Like Sentimental Tommy, the British, who
have been deploring their progress in the
air, seem to have found a way" And not
until flying becomes popular in the same
way that Babe Ruth is popular and Bobby
Jones is popular and the Golden Tornado is
popular, will the United States really begin
to climb toward aerial supremacy. -

Another Ice Ace?

Z tSIO s Of another ice age which will
" slowly but steadily get it's grip on a
large part of the world, have arisen in
Switzerland by the threatened invasion of
Swiss valleys by some ninety-eight Alpine
glaciers. The Allah, one of the largest and
most beautiful of lpine glaciers, has advanc-
ed SO far that it seriously menaces the outlet
other glaciers is Aiming
Scientists, however, are not prone to take
seriously the ice movement in The Swiss
mountains, so far as it's possible effect on the
rest of the world is concerned. DR.. Charles
P. Berkey, geoIogist of Columbia university.
declares the Swiss invasion is merely local
impulse.
"The advance and retreat of glaciers" he
states, depend solely upon two conditions
the temperature and the amount of snow
fall. In any year or series of years when
the temperature has been lower than usual,
there will an advance of glacial formations.
And, in contrast, in year or a series of
years when the temperature has been higher
than usual, the glaciers will retreat In other
words, the movement of these ice mountains
is merely the result of minor fluctuations in
climatic conditions and has no bearing what
ever on the return of the glacial period. Such
advances and retreats are really everyday &C.
| currences; hough usually the average pre-
cipitation and changes in temperature are SO
nearly alike from year to year that the
| fluctuations are scarcely distinguishable.''
It is reassurir to know, even though the
process we're to take many hundreds of years
| that the world not menaced by return OF
| the ice age, when glaciers advanced hundreds
of miles over the earth's surface and large
| part of the present civilized world was COW
cred with an irresistible and blighting field
| Of ice.
At the same time one must admit that the
| Swiss have good ground for serious uneasi-
ness. There was case not long ago in
Alaska, where a railroad was threatened by
the sliding of northern glacier. Had the
| ice crept over the line of communication be-
tween the coast and inland cities, the conse-
quences might have been tremendous Doubt
| less there would have been time to prevent
human suffering or loss of life, but the ice
might have actually wiped out communities
and changed the course Of hundreds of lives
Fortunately, in this case, the reaction set in
| and the glacier retreated before the railroad
was affected, and doubtless such will be the
case in Switzerland.
| One is moved, however, to feeling of awe
| by the quiet but ruthless manifestations OF
| Nature such as this. Man, with all his en-
| gines and instruments, seems but puny OPP
ponent when the Great Mother sets her face
| grimly against. him.

WHAT THE WOMEN WAN T-By Frederic J. Haskin

and the majority of the states have follow
ed suit.
"These changes show that the common
law is not the infallibe guide it was taken
for. II a woman is capable of managing her
property in one state, why should woman
of another state be less competent? And If
mother of an illegitimate child is made by
law solely responsible for her child, why
should the married mother have no legal
control at all over hers?"
To bring these illogical laws up to con-
sistent intelligent standard would be a rea-
sonable step, Miss Hill thinks. A general law
giving women equal rights with men would
result at first in a great many test cases be-
calities to clear up. But the advocates of the
bill see no reason to fear that there would
be any real confusion.
There are two points on which the fem
inists depart slightly from their standard
for strict equality. First, they do not ask
that women replace men in work for which
they are not physically suited. For instance,
while they demand an equal opportunity for
women in civil government, they do not ask
that girls be sent to West Point or given a
chance to enlist in the army or navy.
The second point is that the bill is to
contain provision that 1t is not to affect
existing laws for the protection of women in
industry.
To fight it's battle for rights most eff
GENTLY, the National Woman's party is to
the capitol, so that it can keep wary eye
on every doubtful congressman.
The house that the party has bought Is
one of Washington's Oldest and most dis
tinguished mansions known as the Back Cap
itol. 1t is an attractive white stone building
set on high terrace. It's history dates back
to 1914, when the capitol had been wreck
ed by the British and congress had no place
to meet. Philadelphia was calling insistent-
ly to congress to come and make its home
there But Washington had no intention of
rsking a change in the national capital. A
group of citizens hastily organized and built
house back of the capitol as a temporary
home for congress.
This capitol was used as meeting place
by congress for four years, during which
time Monroe was inaugurated there as presi-
dent. Then congress went back to the reno
waited capitol building and the mansion be-
came a hotel.
During the Civil war the back capitol was
converted into federal prison where Con-
federate suspects were held. Since then it
has served as a residence for such wen
known people as John G. Calhoun, Anna
Katherine Greene, and for a number Of
congressman.
Now, the old mansion is to enter upon an
entirely new phase of it's varied career. AS
watch tower for band of political AmaZons
it will doubtless look upon scenes as stir
ring as any in its century of dramatic his

DOROTHY DIX TALKS-LEST WE FORGET
DOROTHY DIX

l have just been reading a heart-broken
| letter from little girl who pours out her
troubles to me over eight pages of the best
pink note paper.
She says she is sixteen, and her father
and mother think that she is too young to
have beaux and go to parties. And all the
other girls have boy friends, and good times,
and her family doesn't see why she Is not
perfectly happy to stay at home every even
ing and read nice "Glad Anna" books. Her
mother won't even let her have an intimate
girl friend, because she is afraid that the
girl will put notions into her head.
"Of course I know I have perfectly Won
derful parents, and that the reason that they
are so strict with me is because they think
it is for my good" the little girl writes, "and
they give me lots Of pretty clothes, and I
have a fine home that 1 get awful sick of
staying in, and when there is real nice
play, that they consider proper for young
girl to see, or an educational film, they take
me to the theater, or the moving pictures,
where I sit between mother and father, but
that isn't what I want.

boys and to laugh and skylark, and to have
a girl friend who will come and have tea

ST just want to do little silly things, and
play around with other girls and boys, and
mother and father are perfectly shocked, and
won't let me, because they say that when
they were my age they never thought of any
thing except of improving their minds and
listening to their elders
Then the little girl ends her letter with
this question: Were the people of a gen
Grafton ago really and truly so different from
the young people of today?"
No, my dear, they were not. There are
no such other monumental liars on earth as
parents, and it is a good thing that snap
Judgment is not taken upon them as it was
upon Ananias and Saphira, or else the land
would be full of orphans. For when fathers
and mothers begin telling their children
about what model girls and boys they were,
they let go all hold on veracity, and give
free rein to their imag inations.
The one thing that never changes is hui
man nature. Every soul that comes into
the world has practically the same desires,
and goes through practically the same ex-
periences We all love, and hate and laue'
and weep, and play and work, and dance and
feast, and are pleased with foolish trifes,
and do all sorts of silly and ridiculous things
in our youth; and those who tell you other
wise have no truth in hem.

home in which there are chiren should be
a motto, so placed that every time the parents
looked up they would read it. And this
motto should say LEST WE FORGET

What Mars May Lack.

The gentlemen who periodically

Mars has race that enjoys not only
the vision of earthlings but scientific
knowledge such as this planet has
painfully and slowly piled up from
the days of ARcHIMEDEs to those Of

as we do, or as she must do to make
us understand, needs a complete out
fit OF. metals and mechanics.
Yet, granting the possibility Of all
this life, knowledge and material on
Mars, one thing is still lacking. Is
curiosity one Of the blessings and

Cocos islands Treasure.
Many Attempts to Recover Loot Al
legged to Be Buried There.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: AS to
Mr.. Frikki's offer to lead another expe-
dition in search OF the treasure on
Cocos Island, there have been many at
tempts made since he was on the Island In
1882 to recover the loot from South
American cities cached on Cocos Island
early In the nineteenth century.
In 1891 Captain August Gissler. a
German. obtained chart of the hidden
gold and secured a concession from
Costa Rica, which owns the island. to
dig there. He outfitted an expedition
at San Francisco In the spring of 1892
and sailed away. Several years later
an article appeared in one Of the maga-
zines with pictures of the island, show
ing Gissler to be monarch Of all he
surveyed. He did not find the treasure,
but he settled on the island and he may
be there yet
Several deliberately QUILTED parties
have since sailed for Cocos Island. but
the general impression is that there has
been great landslip. perhaps an earth
quake, which has buried the treasure so
deeply that 1t would be we'll nigh impos-
sible to find It. Many people believe that
Cocos Island In the East Indies is where
the treasure lies. but 1t Is Cocos Island
in the Pacific. about 900 miles southwest
Of Costa Rica and not very great dis
tance from the Gulf Of Panama.

The Tree we knew SO long;
let my tears run fast and free.
For Grief In me ran strong
The Tree. that had no heart to break
Nor ever sorrows knew
Beneath my sobs felt It shake;
made my prayer thereto.
My prayer was like to this: 20 Tree.
Take but from me my heart.
And let me all as soulless be
As thou forever art!
The rough Tree kissed my drowning
face,
Then inward swung a door:
There through slipped and mine
own place
Did know me never more.
And peace was mine, who had no peace.
On PASSIONS wild storm blown.
You searched--for pity: then did cease.
So far you deemed me flown!
How many time you passed me byi
let you pass, unstayed;
But on the turf. when you would lie.
touched you with shade.
You hear ten thousand breathing
leaves
To you, melodious sighs
I have no heart. nor soul that grieves
Nor tears--who have no eyes.
