An Aviation Cure.

A new use for the airplane has been
found. Yesterday at Boiling Field an
experiment was tried with success in
what may be called aeronautical ther-
apeutics. A man who for six months
had been speechless. having lost his
voice while automobiling. was taken
on a high flight and on returning to
the ground from an altitude of $4,000
feet found that he had recovered the
full use of his vocal chords. There
was evidently some quality in the
rarefied atmosphere that readjusted
the laryngeal apparatus. For a short
time the patient-passenger was in air
as thin as on the top of Pixies Peak
Apparently the subsection to this at
tenuated atmosphere needed to be only
brief to bring about a change. The
question arises whether airplane trips
cannot be prescribed effectively for
other troubles of the throat Would
it do in asthma, or would it be on the
contrary too severe a strain? This
successful flight yesterday raises, in
fact, many interesting questions as to
the possibilities OF disease treatment.
1t has been often said that aviation
is only in it's infancy in respect to
practical application. This latest
field for development and practical use.

John Burroughs.

In the death of John Burroughs
America and the world lose much,
We lose the last of line of truly
literary naturaliSts who. beginning
with Thoreau. and including John
Muir and Audubon, sought ever to hold
before an increasingly materialistic
world the simple yet inspiring truths
of nature. We lose a great American
whose personality, signalized by sim
plicity, understanding and breadth of
spirit, was of the stuff Of Lincol,'s 3
and Franklin's, of Emerson's and
Whitman's. We lose one whose quail
tiles we treasure as typically Ameri-
can, and in our loss are given pause
for sober reflection.
The world moves swiftly these days
and the highways of life are over
crowded. Men and women, caught in
the current of that restless progress,
there seek, with eyes in which too often
hope has died, that happiness for
which all humanity yearns. Tense,
weary, embittered, they tread, elbow
to elbow, the beaten artificial thor
oughfares. Without laughter, without
gentleness. without rest, the concourse
plods forward, faces set, toward some
vague goal which the men and women
of our generation seek at the high
ways end.
1t was not so with Burroughs.
Through a gap in the highways dusty
hedge he slipped away, to find him.
self upon by-path, little used. Fol
lowing it he found the way to peace
and greatness and happiness. And
because he loved his fellows, crowded
upon the hard road, he returned to
tell them of his discovery, of the truth
that through a birds song and the
story which the trees whisper one may
find all that is worth while.
Measuring the effectiveness and sat
isfaction Of our present lives against
his, it cannot but be that many of US
and of our children will follow where
he has shown the way. 1t must be SO.
For it is on the byways that inspira-
tion and faith are found. Proof Of the
truth of that fact is John Burroughs
great contribution to the fellow men
he loved so well-by whom his mem.
ory is so well loved.

Save the Shad.

Baltimore fish dealers are wailing
over the scarcity of shad this season,
and some Of the more pessimistic are
predicting the extinction of this
famous Potomac and Chesapeake del
icacy unless measures are adopted for
its protection. One remedy proposed
is the prohibition of shad catching
after May 1. Assuredly if there is any
such danger steps must be taken to
avert it. The shad must not be per-
mitted to follow the diamond back ter
rapin and become a museum curiosity
Carefully framed and vigorously en-
forced law may be necessary. The
shad is too valuable a food fish to be
lost through the stupid greed of fish
ermen who fail to realize that they
are harming themselves when they
catch the shad during the spawning
time and so prevent the multiplicati ton
OF the species.

A warning" and an Explosion

a disastrous explosion occurred yes
terday in Chicago, causing the death
of at least eight people and injuring
d hundred or more. doing widespread
property damage. The explosion was
attributed to a stock OF fireworks in
a factory maintained in the heart of
the West Side tenement district, in
violation Of regulations. After the
blast the chief Of police and the munich.
pal fire attorney stated that the manu-
featuring firm had been warned to
discontinue the manufacture and had
been repeatedly warned that fireworks
could not be stored within the city
limits" Yet the warnings were dis
regarded. Who is responsible in a
case like this? II the police knew
that the law was being violated danger.

PEELED to yacate and either abandon the
business or move to a safe situation. If
this business was going on without
police knowledge there was laxness of
supervision.
These things happen so frequently
that it would seem that a warning is
considered by municipal authorities as
sufficient. If anybody is engaged in a

the owner of the premises being
warned or notified. If he clears up
in time to avoid a fire he is lucky. Per-
haps in a week or two or a month or
two he is inspected again. There
should be no margin of tolerance in
these cases. Immediate application of
the law should be had when life and
the public security are at stake.

The President and Peace.

Two things are regarded as certain
respecting any steps President Hard
ing may take looking to America s
part in any understanding or associa-
tion among the nations on the subject
Of peace and its preservation.
He will not leave the country. He
will remain on base, or close to base,
while the matter is under considera-
ton, and in touch with his constitu-
tional advisers and public sentiment.
He will not hold himself superior to
home advice while negotiations are in
progress.
He will not ignore the Senate, or at
tempt to force his will on that body.
He recognizes the Senate as part of
the treaty-naking power of the gov
ernment. with the right to review any
work Of the kind he may submit to it
for judgment. Conferences will ''go'
in that matter as in other matters
He believes in conferences. He is
constantly comforting as to domestic
affairs. Why not, then. as to foreign
affairs. and especially as they are so
much more difficult to handle?
Mr.. Harding would probably take
this course without a warning. 1t
chimes with his nature and his view
OF things. But there is warming. 1t
is the opinion Of all republicans and
many democrats that in going to Paris,
and upon his return insisting that the
Senate accept his work without change,
Mr.. Wilson made mistake. and made
the ratification Of the peace treaty i'm
possible.

Camps for Tourists.

Every season many tourists who
ing south in winter and north in the
spring. pass through Washington or in
this neighborhood on their way back
and forth. These people have gone
south as rule in search Of healthful
winter surroundings. They like the
outdoors and usually pitch camp al
nightfall on the road. Many cities on
the route make provision for welcom
ing them, make them feel at home
Washington, however, has never made
any special arrangements for the ac
commodation of these transient Wis
itors. Now an effort is under way to
set apart some sort Of camping space
in or near the city, where the tin
can tourists''-to use the phrase that
II ey themselves have adopted-can n
rast while in the capital. 1t should
,.ot be difficult to find such a place.
It should be equipped for the purpose.
It should be convenient Of access,
though that is not SO vital an item
as in cases OF ordinary camping. in
asmuch as a matter of two or three
miles Of motoring to reach the camp
ing place is not serious. The Board of
Trade is now considering this matter,
and the hope is that arrangements will
be perfected and the word spread to
the winter tourists camps in the south
that Washington has made welcoming
provision, so that this city, which some
have avoided because Of lack of facil-
tiles, may be made regular stopping
point. 1t is desirable to have every
possible person to come to Washing
ton, not for the trade involved, but for
the educational effect of contact with
the capital. The chances are that a
motoring tourist making" Washing
ton intending to stop only over night
will change his mind and remain two
or three days to see the capital.

A Bows and Girls Town.

If any city in the United States with
a population between 10000 and 10000
needs financial aid to create ideal
conditions for it's children, the Ma
tional Child-Health Council is will
ing, it announces. to contribute $780,
600 for the purpose. This is not the
sort of offer that goes begging. The
National Child-Health Council is like
ly to be showed under with applica-
tions.
Nevertheless, the council knows
what it is about. Once a town has
been chosen and the five-year expert
ment tried out, the friends of the
children will be furnished with talk
ing points forever. They may even
be able to set up new concept of

DIR. Harry b. Cox, Noted
Scientist, Dies i'm West

Los ANGELES, Calf. June 29.-Dr.
Harry BarIinger Cox. fifty seven years
old, noted electrical scientist, died to-
day at his home here Known inter
nationally as the father of the dry
cell' DR.. Cox contributed many cleo
trlcal inventions TO science, including
the submarine signal system for coast
defense, the electrical push button, a.
system of wireless telegraphy using
the ground instead of the air and the
device laEer incorporated in the rail-
way block safety system.
DR.. Cox in 1919 announced the inven-
ton of an apparatus by which natural
elements of the air could be converted
into radio activity. Efforts to use
radio activity to save the life of the
research worker who delved deeply
into this field failed Death was due
to malady of the throat
The most recent discovery announced
by Dr.. Cox was method Of extracting
the vitamic properties of fruit and veg
etables, which he made public on March
20 this year. He was the discoverer
also of the method of preserving fruits
and vegetables by means of a vitalizer,
which led earth currents to the con-
tainer and kept the contents fresh.
DR.. Cox's family is from Ohio For
several years DR.. Cox lived in Bedford
Hills, n Y.
