AMERICAN BAR ASSN TO ACT
ON LAW FOR AERONAUTICS

CINCINNATI, Aug. 20.-One of
the most interesting and unusual
features to be introduced and dis
cussed at the convention of the
American Bar Association, to be
held here August 80 to September

law to bring about the proper solu-
ton of the demands of aeronautics.
The recommendation that such C
action be taken comes from a spe-
cial committee OF the law of avia-
ton, which in its report to the ex-
ecutive committee of the associa-
ton expresses it's hope that in the
enactment of any legislation by con-
gress. the most careful preliminary
consideration be given to the consti-
tutional features of any proposed
legislation, to the end that it may

appropriate departments, instead of
attempting to adopt devices of ques-
tionable constitutionality to make
national powers apply to this new
branch of human activity.

When The East Came West
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

cent editorials and speeches, display
a remarkable trend toward an in
sistence upon the code of religion in
the practice of statecraft. 1t is be-
coming daily more and more appar-
ent that nothing is politically eXped-
lent which is not morally right.
Simple integrity is coming to its own
in public affairs; and hat means
hat religion will yet save politics to
both breadth and honor.
1t is impossible to study this Sun
day school lesson, which is basically
inter-continental as well as interna-
tional. without contemplating its
clear application to present problems
of the nations. And it drives us back
to the conclusion that Pauls way is
not only the best way, but also the
M sure way. Except East looks to
the West and West to the East in
the spirit of the righteous and loving
Christ-unleSs public affairs are m
Quoted on a basis of righteousness
and of good will-there can be no
true solution of pending perplexities.
over and yer again the experts
upon Near Eastern affairs keep as
surfing us that the Near Eastern
question is fundamentally a religious
question. That is true: but no more
true than hal in a broader
other questions of the relation be-
tween nations and individuals are
basically a matter of religion. Paul
carried with him the one sure pana-
cea for the ills of the race.

TROLLEY ROUTE
ON NEW ROAD
TrackIess System Again Be-
ing Agitated From Totem
vile to Richmond

tBy Evening News STAFF Correspondent
TOTTENVILLE, Aug. 20-Now
That the new concrete road is about
completed between Tottenville and
Richmond, there is a strong agita-
ton for the establishment of the
trackless trolley along this route.
Some time ago a petition with 1,500
names of residents of the fifth ward
of the borough of Richmond was
flied with Borough President Van
Name, who in turn filed the petit
ton with the Board of Estimate of
the city of New York. No action
was taken upon the petition at that
time because of the construction of
the new highway and of the city TAX
ing action with regard to trying out
the system between Bulls Head and
Linoleumville on the north side of
the island. Cars have been ordered
for that route and plans for the
establishment Of the line between
those two places are being made for
opening within a short time.
Stuart l.. Ritz, president of the
NTottenville Branch of the Staten Is
land Civic League, is in receipt of
two communications, one from Hen
ry H. Curran, president of the bor-
ough of Manhattan, the Republican
candidate for mayor and the other
from Grover A. Whalen, commits
sioner of plants and structures, with
regard to the matter. In the letter
from Mr.. Whalen, he says that he
expects shortly to be in position to
make a report to the Board of Es-
climate and Apportionment OF the
petition filed, requesting the estab-
lishment by the city of the track
less trolley system from Tottenville
to Richmond. Commissioner Whalen
says that inasmuch as his depart
ment is working out a new propo-
sition in designing and putting into
operation trackless trolley systems
hat will be such an improvement
over any existing systems as to con-
stitute a new thing, he has felt that
it was wise to proceed to recommend
the establishment of additional lines
until he was perfectly satisfied with
the correctness of the plans that
are being worked out for the Limo
leumville line.
They have made. such progress
and have been sc successful he says
in overcoming mechanical and cleo
trical difficulties and in securing a
type of vehicle adapted to this work
that he expects to be able to report
to the Board of Estimate in Sep
tcmber in favor of establishing SIM
liar trackless systems in other parts
of Staten Island, particularly be-
tween T~ottenville and Richmond.
In the letter from Henry H. Curran
an answer to one sent by Mr.. Ritz,
which thanks the latter for the let
ter about traction facilities in the
fifth ward and which he says will
be given careful attention.

ENGLISH CLOTHING OFFER
IRy The Associated Press.1

VIENNA, Aug. 2O:-The offer of
a British concern to sell in Vienna
AGO. 900 r~eady-made suits Of mems
clothes at fl and 10 shillings each,
has been occupying more space IN
the newspapers than the disturbed
political situation.
Master tailors and ready made
clothing merchants are fighting it
and thus far successfully as the
Ministry of Trade has refused the
import license.
The entire Vienna press, backed
by the countless civil servants and
workmen's cooperative societies, is
demanding the deal be permitted,
pointing out that native tailors
charge at least 10000 crowns for a
suit of equal quality, while the Bril-
fish offer equals about $500 crowns.
