making a gradual rise in long sweep
or circle as the airplanes do. This ma
chine is built en- the gyreseepe princi-
pie with a great number of fans which
lift it or drive it, making it possible to
rise or descend practically within its
own dimensions ard to remain station
a,y in the air. There are advantages,
as can be readily appreciated, in such
machine.
The tying machine cannot hover over
a uoItain point. It passes over it and
returns, but it is not possible for it to
hold itself at a fixed point in the air,
oh as over q vessel or fort and
drop upon them destructive miss les.
Thus it will be appreciated, If the in
ve7tor has actually worked out his
problems and has perfected the helicop-
ter so that it can meet satisfactory
tests, that an important stride in avta-
ton has been made Likewise the large,
level and isolated landing fields would
not be required for a flying machine Of
this type which could start and land in
the back yard, on the fiat roof Of a
building or on the deck Of ship with
out any difficulty. 1t is machine that
cannot fail to be watched with interest
until the demonstrating tests are made
and its merits actually determined.

AN nrPoRrANr DECIs1oN.

Looked at from any angle the decis-
ION Of the United States supreme court
concerning labor unions handed down
this week is Of great importance. Not
only Is II important because of the
questions It clears up, but also because
the decision Is unanimous. Frequently
there are decisions which show only a
slight majority, a majority Of one max
ing the decision in some cases. In such
instances the reception is far different
than when the majority is large OF
unanimous. and for that reason in con-
nection with this labor matter the decis-
Ion Is made the more impressive by the
unanimous action.
In this decision the court gets DOVE
10 an important fundamental that has
been denied attention too long. Previ-
ously labor unions have been recognized
ns having the right to sue. but there was
the claim that they were not suable and
ought not to be. In other words they
had the protection Of the law when theil
rights were transgressed, but were MOI
obliged TO assume any responsibility fol
their acts
This unreasonable situation Il
Strengthened out by the latest decision

Eted IN order to be sued. A union /.

haven't right to strike. but 1t does hole
that when a strike is called and there Il
damage done to the property of another
It is possible for the injured party to re
cover damage If the charge can b
proved.
By the decision It is once more shown
that the unions are protected quite tn
same as others. The large damages as
sessed against the unions are set asid
because It Is found that the charge
were not proved. but the fact is clearl
established that when unions are re
Er.nsible for strikes or sanction Their

ing upon the union organizations whic

It Is a decision that is only whs
ought to be expected. Fairness shoul
prevail not simply on one but on bot
sides and that Is what the decision ell
courages.

He was.
The subject of Davis meditations, how
ever. was not made known to his wife
until Saturday afternoon. Returning from
a luncheon and hurrying to her room to
dress for the dinner-dance at the club,
Margery found the Following document
spread upon her dressing table:

STEALING PLANTS AND FLOWERS.

At this season of the year property
owners in all sections Of a city take de-
light in making their grounds look as
attractive as possible. Lawns are rolled
Az moved trees are trimmed, flower
beds are filed with attractive plants and
piazza boxes are filed with Towering
plants and vines.
Where such an interest is manifested
N making home grounds pretty and no
t,ceable It means that a great many
others admire the efforts and in many
cases tbs result furnishes an inspiration
for those who observe such well kept
grounds TO come as near providing the
same as possible at their homes.
Unfortunately there are others who
take a different view of the beautihca-
ton They regard it in the spirit of en-
Wy and look upon it as an opportunity
Tor them to serve their own ends by ap-
propriating for their own use such
plants and bushes as strike their fan
80 Many are the yards that are raided
IN this manner. While some may be dis
posed to clip the blossoms others would
not be satisfied without tearing up by

ferns or rosebushes.
Such thieving is in keeping with the
attitude which some people take thai
anything they see which appeals to them
whether It happens to be flowers, gar
den truck or other property, simply
needs to be taken in order to be pos
sessed. No consideration is given to tht
owner or the time or money that hal
been spent in making his yard look thu
way he desired The despoiler and thu
raider think of nothing but themselves
and do not hesitate to help themselves
at the expense of someone else.
Nothing IS disposed to arouse NOR
resentment than acts Of that kind. Whei

vehicles Traffic moves too fast now
for human muscles and agility and
mistake in Judgment Of distances OF
speed makes for serious injuries. There
have been several deaths due to attempt
ing to jump on or on moving public ser
vice motor vehicles.
The following Is quotation from news
paper publicity on this subject taken
of May 9Th, which has been widely
copied:
Highway dangers are much different
than they were. II is necessary to use
caution in undertaking to cross streets
today, where little or no thought was
given to it at one time, while the prob
lem of educating the children TO reeog-
milton of the dangers grows bigger each
year. When a child dashes from the
rear of one vehicle into the path of an
other with neither room nor time to es-
cape, 1t can be appreciated that the driv-
er is powerless TO prevent an accident
unless conditions are unusually favorable,
and the Importance Of impresstng upon
children the need of breaking the practice
Of jumping onto the rear Of vehicles foI
rides, or of suddenly running into the
street in play, cannot be given too much
emphasis. The value Of safety first needs
to be kept constantly to the 'front.'

PACIFIC ISLETS DISCOVERED
AND REpISCONERED

The reported discovery by an Am
erican pleasure craft of hitherto I'M
known islands in the Pacific near
Kingman's Shoal, south of Hawaii,
has been followed by statement from
the photographic Office of the Unit
ed States Navy that the reported find
probably is a rediscovery of Washing
near the latitude and longitude Civ
en-. A bulletin from the Washington
D. c., headquarters of the National
Geographic Society briefly describes
the islands mentioned:
There would be nothing new in the
rediscovery of Pacific islands" says
the bulletin. Many of them have new
er been inhabited or were abandoned
years ago, and to all appearances are
virgin islands. A number of small is
lands have been reported as new finds
over and over again, and in several
cases double and treble names testi-
fly to this circumstance. The most re-
Gently reported discovery is in re-
gion fairly well frequented by ships
since it is within 300 miles of the mid
Pacafic station of the Canada Aus
tralia cable on Tanning Island and is
even closer to the steamer lane be-
tween Honolulu and American Sam
pa.
Palmyra island, which lies about
so miles south of Kingman's Reef
was discovered 100 years ago by the
American ship Palmyra In 1912 the
United States took formal posses
sion of. the island and made it a par
of the Territory of Hawaii. It is o.

GETTING WIRES UNDERGROUND.


From time to time every community
experiences the disadvantages which
comes from overhead wires. They are
uns,ghtly in themselves and because of
the equipment that is needed to carry
them. They obstruct the streets and of
course menace the users of the high
way in case they fall. During storms
it has been found that they are likely
to De blown down and the service over
them seriously interrupted This Of
course applies to wires Of all kinds
whether electric telephone or telegraph.
Fer a considerable period efforts have
been devoted toward the placing Of
such wires underground The improved
appearance of the streets are at once
noticed and public service which might
otherwise be interrupted by falling
limbs, broken wires or crossed wires j;
freed from such handicaps.
The advisability of getting wires un'
foreground is well displayed during ths
heavy ice storms when for miles the
lines lay fiat and it requires many day,
| to restore service. There are times
when the electrical wires are involved
quite as much as any others, and wher
efforts are directed toward the eiimina
ton Of such conditions by getting this
wires underground most valuable pro
lection is being afforded.
Street improvements serve to eneeur
age this work. That of course Is the
time when the conduits can be laid t
! the best advantage and it is before any
thing in the way of permanent stree
Improvement is attempted that the nee
essary work of getting the wires under
ground should be undertaken. 1t is a.
unreasonable to wait until brick or ee
nent luad is built to look after tn
work of getting wires underground a
it would be to delay giving attention t
water and gas services.
