To Encourage Sky Sailing

l Q Encourage oky Saillng
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Wanted-An American sail
plane trophy.
In the early days of aeronautics,
days, and even weeks and months, were
spent in watching the soaring birds as
they, in effortless flight, sailed across
the skies. The Wright brothers were
among the earliest of the successful
gliding men, and their record OF ten
minutes, made in 1911, remained un-
beaten for ten years.
On August "a, the closing day of the
third German soaring and gliding meet,
held in the Rhoen Hills, Pilot Hentzen,
flying Hanover sailplane, cruised
about for three hours and seven
minutes and landed thousand feet
above his starting point.
The United States has to date nut
in competition the Gordon Bennett.
Curtiss Marine Flying, Pulitzer and
Collier trophies, each of which has in
its own sphere, stimulated the spirit
OF contest more than any other single
factor in aeronautics. 1t is generally
conceded that America has had a
dominant share in developing gliding
fight.
1t is, therefore, an opportune time
for some public spirited citizen, inter-
ested in aviation, to offer substan-
tial trophy for the encouragement of
sailplane development and to make
Orville Wright It's custodian.

Capt. Peter Fitzurse volunteered
some days ago to raise a division of
volunteers and lead them against the
Turks.
"My ancestors, the Fitzurses, were
identified with the earlier Crusades, /"
said the Captain, "and what more
fitting than that the Last of the
Fitzurses should be the leader of the
Last Crusade against the Moslem?"
But the government of the United
States-the Captain always refers
to it that way in order to distinguish
it from the Confederate government
has absolutely ignored his re-
quest.
"Damme, / can't understand the
silence Of the government of the
United States" said the Captain. "Is
it possible that they wish to keep an
old Confederate officer from distin-
gushing himself?"
The Captain, denied active service,
is writing poem against the Turks,
in heroic couplets.
"The heroic. couplet, SIR" says the
Captain. "is the only form of verse
for gentleman to write"
The Captain has, however, written
number of songs in other measures.

The Offer to Turkey

ne TS1CII- -OIfkiSil-1 i CAAlai SAACA
60 Kemal follows broadly the lines
of the peace proposals drawn up on
March % last by Foreign Ministers
Poincare, Curzon and Schanzer.
Necessarily it takes into account the
effect of Turkeys decisive victory
over Greece.
The terms now suggested fall lit
tie short of complete fulfillment
Of the Angora program, They re-
store to Turkey all of Turkish Asia
Minor-as far east as Transcaucasia
and the Persian and Mesopotamian
boundaries. They return to Turkey
Constantinople and Thrace up to the
Martha River line, including Adri-
anople. These territorial conces-
sions recreate a Turkey in Europe
as well as Turkey in Asia.
No declaration is made of pur-
pose to carry out the pledges of the
Paris agreement Of last March
regarding capitulations and the
strength of the Turkish regular
army and gendarmerie. But it is
evident that the Western powers are
inclined to waive extraterritoriality
to large extent, just as they agreed
at the Washington conference to
waive it in the case of China. Tur-
key is to be invited into the League
of Nations and is to be raised to
status more nearly equal to that of
her European associates.
Some conditions are attached to
this very liberal recognition cf An
gora's nationalist aims. At the in
stance of Rumania and Jugo-S -Slavia
zones adjoining Greece and Bulgaria
will be demilitarized, guarantees of
protection to religious and racial
nninorities are to be given, and the
free passage Of the Straits is to be
secured by international control ex-
erclsed through the League of Ma
tions. Gallipoli will doubtless be the
seat Of control commission and an
international garrison.
The Anatolian government is re-
Auired, further, to refrain from
sending any armed forces into Eu-
rope at this time. In return the AL
lies promise to influence Greece to
Withdraw her troops in Thrace be-
hind line to be fixed by the allied
n Turkish and Greek military authori-
n ties.
The peace project harmonizes the
Angora pact and the Paris pact.
Aemal seems as willing as anybody
else to neutralize the Straits, Tbere

porus. This is a matter of armistica

europe and eXpel the Greeks from

The mob enthusiasm of his followers

BY NORA KAY.

Its a fine day for suicides remarked
veteran policeman as he noted the chill
gloom and dampness that ushered In the
month of June so inauspicioasly.
For. according to the officer who has
answered many a suicide call In his years
Of service, there Is something about a
dark rainy day that tends to mkae one
count his troubles instead Of his bless
ings IL the day stays gloomy long
enough and the troubles seem dsicourag
ing enough, the troubled one will reach
the state OF mind where he doesn't care
what happens and seek the quickest wav
out TO his troubles.
The coroner's records seem to prove
the correctness of the bad weather
theory. too, for during the last year they
show that OF the fifty five suicides thar
occurred in Marion County, the greatest
number.-eight, took place In December. a
month during which the weather was
generally gloomy. But no one durina
that month was tempted to end his life
by jumping into Fall Creek, which is a
favorita method during the warmer
months
February. March, September and No
vember follow close upon December as
preferred months for suicides. and dur
ing all of these months the weather was
more or less rainy and depressing.
Coroner Paul F Robinson is also
firm believer in the theory that it is not
the heat that drives persons to suicide,
as is the popular belief hut the rain.
And Il isn't only the persons who kill
themselves that are affected by the
weather, said the coroner. Just take
a week of gloom and clouds and weather
such as we are having and nearly every
body you meet Will he showing signs OF
depression and feeling life is q hopeless

suicide. With some Of them 1t is imam
cial troubles, with others the fear OF
disgrace when they have been guilty of
embezzlement or other crimes and ex-
pect to be discovered. In many cases,
however, we never learn the real motives
behind the deed
Several cases on last years records
were persons who were inmates of some
institution, where they had been confined
after showing signs of mental unbalance,
which accounts for their act, according
to w. O. Bangs, constable, who occu.
pies a desk in the coroner's office ana
hears OF many Of the cases handled there.
Mr.. Bangs, however, while admitting
