THE CARNATION.
An Italian Legend.

In older days, before the Carna-
ton was developed into the beautiful
flower we see at the florists. it was
called the Pink. because the more
pOpulaF varieties were pink in color.
A later variety was white but had at
the center a splash of red. How this
variety came into being we will see
later on. There is a popular belief
that the Pink, or Carnation, springs
from the graves of lovers, hence it
has come to be used as a funeral orna-
ment. It should also be a flower of
rejoicing. As we are told, 1t is one
of those which appeared on the earth
for the first time when Christ was
born.
This is the legend of the White
Carnation with the red eye.

they exceed the record.
These longtime flights are Of no
utility in themselves They are but
tests and demonstrations. The true
endurance fight should be across
country. to attain the longest possible
range. But there is still value in the
circling flight for time record In the
trying out OF machines and men. the

brought more nearly to perfection and

agency. as a package carrier. pas
senger carrier. a surveyor, as a guard

herds and flocks of animals on the
great ranches in the west. The ex'
perimental stage has been passed. Yet
much remains to be done to increase
the safety and, capacity factors, and to
bring the machine within the reach OF
the people. These tests such as that
at Mineola yesterday are helping along
this line, and should not be regarded
as merely sporting events to satisfy
the desire for new records.

Senator Reed.

1t was the Paris peace treaty that
cost Senator Reed his popularity at
home in 1920, and caused his discom-
future at San Francisco that year. He
had fought it with vehemence; and as
ii was sponsored by democratic
President the democrats Of Missouri
in large numbers resented his attitude
as a species of party disloyalty. The
senator was warned that he would
meet his record when he came up for
reelection, and was denied his seat as
a delegate to his party's national con.
vention.
Mr.. Reeds successor is to be chosen
this year. and he wants to succeed
himself
The senator raises the same objec-
ton to the four-power pact that he
raised 10 the league of nations feature
of the pact Mr.. Wilson had submitted
Again he protests vehemently against
entangling foreign alliances, and reads
them as plainly in the later pact as he
did in the former.
Inc SpOIiSOT OI tfe later pact. now
ever. is a republican. Mr.. Harding is
the man Mr.. Reed is now holding to
account, and will hold to account in
this years campaign. When he takes
the stump at home and asks the voters
to send him back to Washington, his
target will be the republican party
and its leader in the White House.
Will this serve to rehabilitate Mr..
Reed in the good graces of the demo-
Gratis of Missouri? Can he show
them that he is all right now and en-
titled to their support? Will they for
give him the performance of 1920 for
the stand he has now taken? Can the
subject which cost him so heavily two
years ago be made the vehicle for re-
storing him to favor this year?
AS yet there are no democratic can
didates against Mr.. Reed in the field.
But there is plenty of time for an
nouncement; and should heads be put
out. the campaign for the democratic
senatorial nomination in Missouri
may prove to be one of the liveliest of
the year.

Is the Earth OF Center?

Astronomers in session at SWarth-
more, Pa, are hearing reports from
observers which suggest that the earth
is shifting on its axis. One scientist
declares that the observatory where he
is stationed has moved northward at
the rate of a foot a year during the
period from 1900 to 1917. Others say
the north pole does not remain in the
same position exactly with reference
to the stellar landmarks, but describes
a circle. In other words that the earth
is off center and wobbles. Any motor
ist knows just what this means. The
child who spins top always regrets
to see the knob at the top begin to
shift, for he knows it is running down.
But there is no reason to worry about
the world running down at present, or
within a conceivable range Of time.
Maybe after all. the pole is not the true
pole. Perhaps the right axis lies some
where else, and the orbit described by
the imaginary spindle Of revolution is
due 10 the Idct tfldt II Is set "TohS
by the astronomers and mapmakers.
Or again. it is within the range of
ina agina ton that it is in the nature of
things for a planet to wobble. 1t
would not be surprising. A great ball
Of matter suspended in the ether of
space without bearings is subjected
to various influences. Nobody has yet
measured the various pulls Of the
greater spheres. Nobody knows. for
instance. just how much OF jolt a
comet causes. 1t may take several
years for the earth to get back to
normalcy after such visitation. May
be the steady 1orthward movement OF
the western observatory at the rate OF
a foot a year for seventeen years is a
reaction from one of these swooping
visitants. Truth is, however marvel
GUS the science of astronomy. it has
yet much to discover, to measure and
to identify.

settled now on any such basis as that
Immediately proposed. Of the omission
of part Of the Maryland license tax
while gas tax is imposed IN both
jurisdictions. The District motorist
surely should not be required to pay a
license tax here and one in Maryland
and gas tax as well. wherever he
buys his fuel. for the purpose of
enabling Maryland to meet its deficit
on its road account.
District motorists use the Maryland
roads, and Maryland motorists use the
Districts roads and streets. They have
been paying mutually the license
taxes of the opposing jurisdictions for
years. while the Virginia and District
motorists have enjoyed real reeiproc-
ity Of tax remission. Maryland has
much better roads than Virginia. The
latter needs motor tax revenues today
even more urgently than Maryland.
AS far as results go the District motor.
ist would prefer to contribute to the
road building Of Virginia through
license taxes or gas taxes in order to
help build up the highway system of
that state.
With meteor reciprocity prevailing
between all of the states and motor
reprisals only between the District
and Maryland, it is surely time for
some method to be found which will
access to the roads Of both jurisdic-
tions as there is throughout all the
rest Of the country.
