A Wise Endowment.

From England comes the an
nouncement that DR.. SAMUEL ELIOT
MORRISON, young instructor in his
tory at Harvard, has been appointed
to the first chair of American his
tory to be established in an English
university. The chair was founded
by Lord RoTHERMERE, brother Of
Lord NoRTHCLIFFE, in memory of his
son, who was killed in the battle of
the Somme.
Lord RoTHERMERE's endowment
was wise one. There should be a
chair df American history in every
English university, and some day
there will be. No exchanges between
nations are more fruitful of clear
understanding between peoples than
educational exchanges.
Ambassador GEDDEs recently ad-
vised his countrymen to travel more
widely in the United States, and to
travel with intelligent inquisitive-
ness. 1t was apparent from his re-
marks that the British Ambassador
thinks the average educated Eng
lishman is not sufficiently informed
concerning the United States and it's
institutions. If that is so it is re-
grettable, and the establishment of
this chair at Oxford is one means of
improving the situation.
Shortly before his death the late
Viscount BRYCE, who was probably
the best informed British scholar of
his time in the history and institu-
tions Of this country, published little
hook called "The Study of American
History" In 1t he asked Americans
not to fall into the error of think
ing that their history began with
the separation Of the colonies from
Great Britain. He asked them to
remember that the long centuries Of
England's development, the great
names in English history, the slow
building up Of institutions cherished
by both peoples are as much the in
heritance of Americans as they are
Of Englishmen.
But just as we are indissolubly
linked with England's' past, so is all
the world indissolubly linked with our
present and concerned in the means
by which that present has been
evolved from the past. DR.. MORRISON
has fine opportunity to promote
understanding of that truth.

According to Harum.

The Appellate Division of the Su-
preme Court in Brooklyn has af-
firmed the verdict which returned to
HARRY F. SINcLAR the 100000 he
paid for Playfellow, the wind suck
ing brother of Man O. War. The
decision, although unaccompanied by
an opinion, makes something Of a
precedent, but 1t Is doubtful whether
1t will affect to any considerable ex-
tent the conditions under which
horses are bought and sold.
1t was not brought out during the
litigation of the case that JAMES r.
JOHNSON, from whom Mr.. SINCLAIR
bought Playfellow, knew of the
horses infirmity. >The case hinged
on a statement made by one Of his
trainers to the purchaser that Play
fellow had no vices. The juries
which tried the case experienced diff
fculty in reaching a decision, and so
will every jury which seeks to get to
the bottom of horse trade.
From the day when David Harum's
remote ancestor looked the stranger
In the eye and asserted, as he shifted
his tobacco from one side to the
other, that that there hoss will
stand without hitchin'," horse trad
ing has been strictly on the basis of
LET the buyer beware" 1t will prob
ably remain on a buyer beware"
basis no matter what laws are passed
or what court decisions are made.
Any horse trade is likely to de-
velop complications in which jury
would be completely lost. 1t is con-
ceivable that jury might believe a
defendant who protested he did not
know that the horse in question was
blind in one eye. And what is a
jury to think if evidence is pro-
duced to show that horse acted
viciously after the trade and equally
good evidence is offered that before
1t he was pattern of docility?

Immediately after the world war.
when commercial aeronautics began to
take tangible form, the need for spe-
cific national aerial code became appar-
ent, and since then an the organizations
interested in the development Of the art
have continuously urged passage Of reg
ulatory law. In response to these rep
reservations, and spurred by death and
injury resulting from itinerant and irre-
sponsible flying, Senator Wadsworth pre-
pared a bill establishing bureau of
civil aeronautics in the Department of
Commerce providing for the regulation
Of aircraft in interstate and foreign
commerce. The bill passed the Senate
and is now being redrafted for passage
through the House. Delay Is deplorable
and gives rise to just such dangerous
practices as those which are pointed out
in your article.
Inasmuch as the President has re-
peatedly urged enactment of Federal
aerial code, and Government and civil
ian air activities are united In their
desire for such action, the only explain
alton Of continued procrastination is in
difference on the part Of the general
public. Public safety in fight and the
proper development Of the art depend on
proper Federal control. Local or State
attempts at regulation are. by the very
nature of the problem, futile.

Fasting as a Pastime.

Another voluntary faster has added
his testimony to that already re-
corded concerning the benefits and
the pleasures Of going without food.
When he broke his fast he had gone
just fifty days without taking nour-
ishment, and although he had dropped
from a weight Of $50 pounds when
he began the fast to 105 pounds
when he ended it, he described him
self as feeling fine and mentally
clearer than for many years."
1t was in Pennsylvania that this
experiment was ended. The patient
had tasted twenty-four days before
he asked admission to hospital for
observation and care. He had had
stomach trouble and ailments collat-
eral thereto. Perhaps the fact that
for many years he had been in the
habit of smoking twenty cigars a
day may have had something to dc
with it. He is 80 years old.
AS a prelude to his fast he gave ur
cigars and with them all food save
raw vegetables, fruits and nuts
After two months of this diet he
stopped eating altogether and started
on his fast Of fifty days. He kept
it up, going about his usual occUpa-
tions, for a little more than three
weeks. Then he put himself under
the direction of physicians.
1t was not that he was suffering
in any way. After five days, he says
all hunger discomfort ceased. after
the first five days without food" he
explains, you lose your appetite
Then you can keep right on goine

Wearing a Futile Bonus Path.

The Senate leaders who have gone
once more to President HARDING in
vain quest of another expression of
his views on the Fordney-M -McCumber
bonus cannot help knowing, and they
do know, what his views are on their
iniquitons bonus.
The Senate leaders who them
selves are in such sore straits with
their bonus raid cannot expect, and
they do not expect, that President
HARDING will be induced to look with
favor on any bonus bill that is a
colossal draft on the Treasury when
there is and will be no money in the
Treasury to meet it.
The Senate leaders who would like
to get out of the bonus hole they
have put themselves in cannot doubt,
and they do not doubt, that Presi-
dent HARDING stands to-day exactly
where he has stood all along against
any colossal bonus spending scheme,
with no public funds in hand or in
sight to pay the bills.
The Senate leaders who keep run
ming to the White House to poster
the life out of the President with
their bonus opportunities are as sure
as the people of the United States are
sure that if the bonus bill comes out
of Congress on its way to raid the
Federal Treasury and the national
taxpayers it will be stopped at the
White House with veto by the Pres
ident of the United States.
For the Senate leaders not to ex-
pect that of the President, after what
he has said, written and done; for
the Senate leaders not to believe it,
not to count on it to a certainty,
could mean only that the Senate lead
ers do not understand, trust and rely
on the President as the American
people can and do.
Is it possible that the Senate lead
ers do not feel as the American peo-
pie feel in regard to their President?
Is it not, on the contrary, impossible
that the Senate leaders doubt him
when the American people do not
doubt him and will not doubt him?
Why, then, do the plodding feet OF
the Senate leaders wear that foolish
futile bonus path between the Capitol
aHd the White House?

MIX at So Quart and Asparagus
at $1.25 q Portion.

To THE New YORK HERALD: While

Pan-American Mission Work.

Whatever tends to break down lin
guistic barriers between nations pro-
notes friendly relations between
them. International irNtations are
cftener due to mere mishnderstand-
ings than to any other cause. Bet
ter knowledge of each other will
bring gain to both the people Of the
United States and their Spanish and
Portuguese speaking neighbors OF
the Americas.
The work of the Pan-American or
ganization in making all the peoples
of the Western Hemisphere better
acquainted Is therefore to be COM
mended. Such meetings as the re-
cent gathering in Baltimore, at which
representative women from Latin
American countries met in cordial
conference with representative women
of our own country, are of especial
value. Work of the same kind Is
being done by the various publica-
tions whose object is to spread before
the peoples Of all the American re-
publics what is best in the current
periodical literature Of each. Some
Of these periodicals contain neither
editorial comment nor articles spe-
cially written for them. They are
simply vehicles for exhibiting to the
peoples of all the American republics
what representative writer's are say
ing. Printed in Spanish and Eng
lish, they give translations of some
of the best articles appearing in the
Latin American reviews and also
Spanish translations from our own
periodicals. Thus is community of
ideas spread among the peoples Of the
Americas and to a certain extent the
language barriers which tend to keep
them apart are broken down..
But the good work Of such publi-
cations does not stop there. They
tend to encourage study Of the noble
language Of Spain in this country
and of English among our friends of
the Latin republics. In other words,
they promote better acquaintance and
