The Resourceful Bootlegger.

The looming of a plane in the light
of the waning moon, the machines
descent near Croton-on-Hudson and
the crash of poor landing. the avia-
tor limping along a nearby road to a
waiting motor car, the discovery in
the wreck of Montreal paper of the
same date and $50 bottles OF Scotch
whisky
Elementary, Watson; some one has
been trying to cut out the middle
mems profits and deal direct with a
flying bootlegger from Canada.
There is no mystery in the case, but
there is diverting slant on the state
of the public mind.
Twenty years ago If a man had
flown from Montreal to Westchester
county all New York would have
hummed with the news. But nobody
would have noticed whether or not
the aviator had cargo Of whisky in
the hold of the airship.
Nowadays a man could fly from
Montreal to Westchester every day
for month and nobody would pay
any attention. Even the children in
the country no longer bother to look
up when a plane buzzes past. It's an
old story.
Nowadays an aviator could come
down with crash at Croton, and in
the absence of any fatality or liquor it
would be only neighborhood news.
But when the aviator has loaded
mans wonderful invention with fine
Scotch whisky and has spilled some
Of the stuff in trying to land his con-
traband cargo, then everybody-the
vets, the drys and the neutrals, if
there are any-finds the incident
highly exciting.
The only moral in the Adventure
of the Resourceful Bootlegger is that
the prospective recipient of the rare
old Scotch should have provided a
lighted landing field.

Rikki, the Beloved Outlaw.

Everybody who has read KIPLING' $
'Rikki-Tikki-TavI loves a mongoose.
but the Government doesn't read fic-
ton. The other day, when eighteen
mongooses just in from Cape Town
were turned back by the immigra-
tion inspectors as undesirable aliens,
it was recalled that for twenty years
we have had law barring the little
weasel like creature from landing on
these shores.
The mOngoOse must have sad re-
Elections on the ingratitude of man.
Time and again, when pioneers in
the tropics have encountered pests Of
rats and poisonous snakes, the mon
goose has been called upon to do his
duty. He was brought from Asia and
Africa to the West, where in the
Caribbean he cleaned out the rats of
Jamaica for the English and of Porto
Rico for the Americans. When the
United States took over Porto Rico
it's cocoa palms and its sugar fields
were infested with rats. Rikki came,
and there are no rats and few snakes
in the island. But Rikki, whom every
motorist sees skipping across the
island roads, is now a hunted thing.
When there were no more of man S
enemies to kill he turned on mans
friends, particularly poultry.
A fellows got to live is the mon
gooses philosophy; but selfish man,
after Rikki has done his own job, does
not agree that he must be maintained
indefinitely, although in India the
mongoose is domesticated and treated
like the gentleman that he is outside
Of meal hours. In some other parts
of the world the birds and other wor-
thy creatures which he Is wont to
pursue when rats and snakes are un'
obtainable have learned to roost be-
yond the mongooses reach. But the
chicken fanciers of America will be
glad to know that Rikki has been
turned away. To them the mongoose
Is a bloodthirsty monster; to persons
who hate snakes Rikki is cavalier.
The mongoose is the most contra
dictory of four footed creatures. He
looks milder than new milk; hut the
naturalists give testimony that in the
presence of a cobra he is the most
furious, rampaging thing that wears
fur-the Terry McGovern OF the ami
NAL kingdom. For that the world
must respect him. even when it shuts
its doors in his sad little face.

Sir Walter Transformed.
Account Of the Elizabethan Hero
Given in an Uptown School.

To THE NEW York HERALD: The re-
cent death of Sir Walter Raleigh IN
England brings to my mind that sew
eral years ago, maybe ten or twelve. I
was a pupil in Public School In Edge
combc avenue, and the teacher of his
tory classes always told us that the
original Sir Walter was an Irishman.
This teachers name was Green or
Brown forget which--ahd he had
his story down pat; we did not know
whether to believe him or not; whether
he was serious or not. He said Walters
name was Rahilly or Reilly. that when
he came to twenty years he fed the
"disthressful country" - always pro-
nouncing the words In this fashion
went to London. bought gay coat at
n pawnshop with his last three sbil-
lings. got into the palace grounds just
for lark. observed a tub of water
near depression In the path the Queen
was walking on, deliberately upset the
tub and scraped the ground with his
stick or shillalah and let history take
the matter up at that point.
The story was so good Il ought to
have been true. Sir Walter O'Rahilly
has always been in my mind since.

average size. Sodium cyanide, contain
ing not less than 81 per cent. cyanogen.
Is mixed with water at the rate Of 200
pounds Of cyanide to fifty gallons Of
water. For each 100 cubic feet of space
fifteen fluid ounces of the sodium cya-
nide solution is used. mixed with six
fiuid ounces Of sulphuric acid which is
about SO per cent. pure and six fluid
ounces Of water. The formula varies
where cotton waste is to be fumigated,
as a stronger solution Is necessary on
account of the excessive quantity of
seeds.
Air is exhausted from the chamber
until the vacuum gauge registers 25.
The gas is introduced into the chamber
and retained for about twenty-five min
utes. including the time that 1t takes to
enter. Air is then passed through the
generator for five minutes. The air
valve Of the fumigator is opened and air
is allowed to enter until the gauge falls
TO 5. The bales are> then held In the
chamber for / hour and 40 minutes.
The vacuum is then applied until the
gauge reaches 25. fresh air being intro
duced into the chamber until at least
twice the volume Of the chamber has
been pumped. The pump is kept in
operation during the time the bales are
being removed to exhaust the air.
A certain amount of residual gas re-
mains in the bales after they have been
removed. A sanple of each bale is
taken. and they are sold according to
these samples. There is danger attached
to this. as a pocket in the bale may be
opened and the gas escape. The Depart
ment of Agriculture has no regulation
covering this feature. The bales should
be allowed to remain untouched for at
least twenty-four hours. There is space
enough In both plants to accomplish
this. A physical examination should
also be made OF all Of the workers.
In one plant neutralizing tank Is
used. but there Is none In the other.
The gas is neutralized by mixing with
water and caustic soda.
Cyanogen has a characteristic odor re-
sembling that of bitter almonds. A
small amount Of the gas drawn into the
lungs may cause instant death. 1t diff
fuses rapidly when exposed to the air.
Experiments have shown that three to
four volumes Of the gas mixed with
100, 900 volumes of air can be breathed
constantly without III effects, but five
volumes produce symptoms of poisoning.
The Fire Department has recently
consulted the Department of Health
upon the advisability OF installing ap-
paratus that would be useful in case of
The gas is combustible and explosive.
As 1t Is readily soluble in water, the
Fire Department has been advised to
require the installation of tanks of
water into which the gas could be
forced in case Of fire. after which the
water could be automatically discharged
into the street sewer without danger to
any one.

School Historians Found Guilty.

While the great mind Of the Hylan
administration, Commissioner HRsH-
FIELD, has been deliberately engaged
upon determining what American
history ought to be, jury of school
principals and teachers has distanced
him. The superintendent of Schools,
DR.. ETrINGER, announces that twelve
school books on American history
and government have been duly tried
by this jury and, in some respects,
found guilty.
The authors Of the text books we're
not Intentionally unpatriotic, says
Or. ETTINGER neither we're the books

ganda." Some of the writer's frankly
said that they were trying TO perfecr

States and Great Britain and they
wrote accordingly.

Lights Across the Continent.

The pilot of the aerial mail who
points the nose of his airplane west
ward for a transcontinental flight
may soon start with assurance that,
flying by night or day, he has a bet
ter chance of reaching his destina-
ton than he ever had in the past.
A line of lights that will flash into
being with the dusk and burn
brightly as his guiding beacons until
he has passed the twilight OF the
next morning will mark the sky lane
he is to follow.
The program OF the Administers
tion for the upbuilding OF an air
feet. in which the first step was
taken Saturday by the decision OF
the House of Representatives to ap-
propriate s1,9OO.O0O for an aerial
mail, means a new service, service
OF safety and proficiency and not a
service of misadventures.
The pilot with his eye glued on the
needle of an unsteady. oscillating
compass goes with the memories of
past sacrifices to inefficiency. In his
place comes the pilot of dependable
machine guided during the day by
the radio finder. The danger and
uncertainty of finding safe landing
in case Of emergency passes, too. In
place of this peril he has all along
the line Of his route stations where
he may stop, visible by day and easily
identified at night by the system Of
lights which guides him.
His way is as carefully guarded for
him as the safety OF railway track
is secured by the block system. He
has no more reason for going astrav
than the mail carriers who for gener-
ations have preceded him on their
duties over the ground routes. He
can look down upon the roads where
once the post boy with his saddle
bags was happy at FIVE miles an hour,
where the stage coaches labored in
the winter hub deep in mud, and
upon the dimly marked trails where
the pony express rider met the perils
of food and storm and the still
greater dangers of bad Indians and
worse white men. The successor of
all OF them. the railroad train, now
grown into the fast mail, remains his
only competitor

West? Perhaps not until he comes
to the junction with some other
aerial mail line, five miles in the air
over Oskaloosa or above Omaha as
he passes the eastbound airship on
its trip to New York. He can see
the lights come and go as he fits
over the Nebraska prairies and along
the Platte valley. He can watch them
climb the foothills of the Rockies
as he mounts and see them all dis
appear over the Great Divide. With
the first glimpse of the Sierra he be-
holds the pink of the morning touch
ing the mountain peaks.
And then he drops down over the
Sacramento valley as the sun dims
the last lights on the western slopes.

Americas Isolation.
The Forty-Eight States Form ;
World OF Themselves.

To THE NEW York HERALD: The true
policy for the United States Of America
to follow Is the plain and simple policy
of common sense; and may be summed
up in three words, Concentrate on

To lament the isolation of America is
ridiculous: and II Is noteworthy and
significant that the lamentations began

Let us hold what we have and be
content. The United States of America
Is world in itself, consisting as it does
of forty-eight States. each one as large
as a European country, intellectually rich
In everything that man can desire, and

Checking the Pothunter.

Sportsmen in general will approve
the clause of the new State game
law which forbids any unnaturalized
foreign born individual to hunt for,
capture or kill in New York State
any wild bird or animal whether
game or not, OF any description, ex-
cepting in defense of person or prop
erty, or to own or be possessed Of a
shotgun or rife of any make.
Enforcement OF this prohibition
should mean greater supply Of
game and the preservation of many
of our songbirds which have been
killed by thousands by men who did
not appreciate the privilege they en-
joyed in being permitted to hunt.
FoImerly 1t was difficult to cope with
the pothunters TO whom every feath-
cred creature was game. Now the
possession of a shotgun or rifle will
be prima facie evidence of a violation
of the law.

hunter and with alert game wardens
sportsmen may look forward to en-.
joying in this State shooting of the
first quality. There is no reason
why pheasants cannot be cultivated

Among japanese Poor.
No Outcasts and No Beggars Met by
Traveller In Kobe.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: After
reading what Miss Topping wrote and
Mr.. Hunt painted about the "slums of
Kobe" / feel impelled to protest against
such characterization of the poorer dis
tricts OF the clean port of Kobe.
Slums, as they exist in large Ameri-
can cities. are unknown in Japan. In
my travels in Japan found no outcasts.
no beggars, no buns. 1 found the aver
age poor home in japan a model OF
cleanliness.
The fact that the japanese live ac-
cording to their own religion cannot be
used to characterize them as "rotting in
crime" AS to murderers. the only kill
ing done while was In Kobe was done
by white man. I found tho Japanese
the cleanest. most polite and honorable
people in the world.

DR.. Ettinger Indorses History Censors
Revisions Make Books More Appropriate for Teachn,
Good Citizenship, Says School Superintendent.

favorably on many deletions in the
school books. but it has insisted that
there should be more stress laid on
some OF the stirring and patriotic epi-
sodes OF American history as a meaus
of instilling appreciation Of the nation'e 6
ideals and a respect for law and order.
THE pupils should not be taught the
personal weaknesses of our national
leaders," the report states. These words
refer presumably to the much criticized
statement in one of the history books
that John Hancock. one of the signers
Of the Declaration OF Independence, was
a smuggler." Another passage under
criticism was. Jefferson was a dema-
gogue. a liar and an atheist"
This historical accuracy of many OF
the statements Of this kind Is not judged
by the committee. but the point is made
that they should not be included in
books intended to give elementary
school pupils an outline of American
history. They might be reserved for
higher classes or college reading. where
the maturer minds of the students are
capable Of assimilating such information
at it's true value.
Work for Good Citixenship.
The committee had as one of its
standards the belief that one of the
objects of history teaching among the
lower grades was to lay the foundation
for useful citizenship. and one of the
criticisms Of the authors was affailure
to realize that the usefulness OF a text
book is determined by the presentation
of material that makes for good Ameri-
can citizenship"
The book that received the greatest
amount of criticism, it is understood. was
"a History of the United States for
Schools" by Mclaughlin and Van Tyne
Others that were Investigated were: IA
History of the United States" by Prof.
Albert Bushnell Hart; "Our United
States" by Prof. William B. Guitteau,
and "Barnes's American History" by
Everett Barnes, principal of p. S. 23 in
Brooklyn.
The fairness of the committees
recommendations has been recognized
by authors and publishers alike, who
have consented. for the most part, to
make the deletions and revisions re-
quired II their books are to be retained
on the school lists. Reports have been
current that in only one case has
publisher refused to make the desired
corrections, and DIR. Ettinger has stated
that unless this is done the book In
question will be stricken from the list,
although he said he had not heard OF
this instance.
Much interest has been aroused by the
reference to a cartoon of Woodrow. Will
son which was used In one history book
as an illustration to the text. This, with
a similar cartoon ridiculing Abraham
Lincoln, has, it is understood. been
deleted. The educational authorities
refused to say in what book the Offend
ing caricature appeared.
