NEED NO GRUB OR TENTS

Scouts OF New York City will be
able soon to go on a weeks hike with,
out the trouble of carrying grub orI
shelter tents. This Is the plan of Chief
Gordon, and 1t is now being actively
carried out by two members Of TroopI
20S, Bronx, who are building andI
marking White Bar Trail. This Is al
trail being laid out at the KanohwahkeI
camps, encircllng the country about
them. Its total length will be more
than forty level miles, that Is, miles as
measured on a map. The hills and val
Ievs will probably make this distance
25 to 80 per cent more. To cover the
whole trail will require a hike Of five
and half days. In providing for ac-
cOmmodations at night, 1t Is Chief
Gordon's plan to establish series Of
nve camps at one-day intervals on the
way.

AMATEURS SHOULD PLAY FAIR
Radio Inspector Schmidt Urges That
They Learn the Laws and
Regulations

Nine out Of every ten radio fans are
good sports, but the tenth is either a
fan with poor judgment or "rotter."
1t is up to the amateurs to see that
restrictions are not imposed upon
them. by playing fair. says Radio In
spector l.. r. Schmidt Of the Ninth
district.
This can be done by observing GER
tain cautions and by becoming posted
on the radio laws and regulations. A
copy of these regulations may be OBJ
tanned from the superintendent Of doc
uments. government printing office
Washington. d. c.. for Is cents. 1t is
worth while to spend Is cents In order
to be square shooter In the radio
game.
The great trouble with amateurs Is
that when they want to send mes
sage around a corner they put on all
the power they have with the hope
that some one In Texas might pick up
their message. The object should be
to use the minimum amount OF power
to get the message to It's destination.

sMlIIlona for psfsnse..

O1rles c. Pinckney was one Of
three ENJOYS sent by the United States
to France In 1797 to. settle disputes
which had arisen between France and
the United States. The American
grievance was caused by the seizure
OF American vessels by France. The
French grievance was that commercial
privileges had been granted to England.
Talleyrand. the French foreign minis
ter, refused to receive the ENJOYS, but
1t had been conveyed to them by secret
agents that before any settlement
could be reached 1t would be necSs-
sary for the United States to pay q
large sum Of money. which was. In
fact little more than q bFbe. II
was then that Pinckney made his fa-
nous declaration that the United

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

All sorts of political gossip is going the rounds but one little matter seems to have been forgotten. We hear of this candidates popularity and that candidates ability to run his own business. We hear of how much such and such a candidate did to help the war along. and how good a friend he has been to the ex-servlce man. And we hear how this man worked himself up from lowly posi- lions to those of power,
 Perhaps we hear how kind one man running for office is to his family, or what good dinners another candidate gives. We hear a great deal about all these matters and they are of human interest. When we hear these good things we are pleased that we have such fine men, few of whom must be given offices, Conversely we hear how tricky another candidate is ana we lGdIn Ol Ollitl liiiilSo iiiiit''' ing against his character, We are awfully sorry to learn that such evil men dare to ask us for our votes.
 The things we hear very little about, however, are the duties of the position candidates seek to obtain, and why such candidates are quail fled to fill just those positions. They, the candidates, may have expert knowledge of the very things which would be their especial care were they to be elected but no one tells us about it. On the other hand the candidates may be completely igno- rant of matters that will be in their charge, but no point is made of 1t
 Some voters want men in office who are especially fitted to handle the affairs of the offices which they seek. And, above all, they want to be told why such and such man is espe- cially fitted to perform the duties of the office he is after.

CHORAL INFLUENCF."

People laugh at the effect of moral influence" Jokes were numerous
 about the effect of Russia and her
 moral influence as it might help the
 Turk. What moral influence had the
 Soviet to give; she needed all her morals at home, didn't she? Now the Daily Telegraph, of London, re-
 marks: "The American public will doubtless realize how greatly its
 moral aid and support would strengthen the hands Of Great Britain in the forthcoming negotiations in
 which the destiny of the Christian
 minorities on Turkish soil will con-
 stitute one of the most serious prob
 lens to be solved" It is to be noted
 that the Telegraph uses the express
 sion would strengthen" It does not
 say Strengthens" It takes nothing
 for Cranted-not even that the Amer
 ican public stands with Great Britain
 in the latter's opposition to the Turks
 re-entry into Europe-a stand which
 England took practically alone early
 in the discussion of the Near East
 problem, and which she was forced
 to abandon. The fact is there has
 been no decided expression of opinion
 in this country and there is a feeling
 recognized and regretted by the
 majority and fostered by the Hearst quarters and among certain people. But the American moral support is considered of sufficient importance at least by this English paper to call for the comment quoted. It is sought and it should be given.
 An interesting fact in connection with the conferences on this vital problem is the feeling many people in this country have of familiarity with Brig. Gen. Harrington who has practically a free hand at the Mu- dania conference. The showing of his face on the moving picture screen has brought this familiarity and is of the altered conditions which surround thought of public questions. No longer are the people active in Europe strangers to us; no longer is the territory involved hay and indistinct in our minds We have seen many of those public men move before our eyes; we have seen "ani- mated maps of the disputed terri tory. Our moral influence" there fore goes to or is withheld from people and nations of whom we know | much and who and which are very real to us, Thus, as the people of the world are brought nearer together the l moral influence of nations plays | more and more important part in | world decisions

TRANSPORTATION.

/, The Connecticut company has been
 urged continually first to try to obtain l the public's good will before 1t was | too late, and then to cherish and keep that good will. The first step in such a campaign of course would be to lower fares, simultaneously bettering
 service where it could do so by means of greater consideration of the public which costs nothing. It has been said that if the company did not do
 this the time would come when the development of the motor bus would
 reach point where it would be rec ognzed as threatening the life of companies similar to the Connecticut company.
 Tn Chicago there Is being held a convention of the American Electric
 Railway association. A committee
 has just reported to that convention
 on the bus transportation situation.
 The report is significant as showing
 that the development of the bus is
 such that these electric railway men
 are considering it's effect upon the
 trolley. The committee has reached
 the conclusion that the bus has
 place in light traffic. Of course it adds that it should be operated by the electric railway company as an adjunct. Naturally the electric rail- way men would insist upon the wis dom of this arrangement. No trans portation should get out of the hands of the companies. Mass transpor- tation cannot be handled by buses as cheaply as it can by electric cars" says the report, but in cases of light traffic the bus sometimes is more economical. The possibilities of utilizing the motor bus or track less trolley therefore should be kept in mind by electric railway oper- ators." The report goes on to state the thing that has been predicted, namely that the automotive industry has progressed to the point where it is now producing vehicles of a design suitable for passenger transportation service.
 The Connecticut company has huge investment in rails and rights of way and rolling stock. Now that the "automotive industry has pro- gressed to the point where it is now producing vehicles of . design suit
