suffering from lack of moisture in

Baron Renfrew.

The Prince Of Wales Is having his
troubles, his receptions and his fetes
in Canada. even though he visits the
Dominion as simple Baron Renfrew.
1t was given out that the prince would
travel under that humble title that he
might avoid those attentions which
loyal subjects and curious persons de.
light to render. It was suspected by
many persons that the plan would
not work. The Prince Of Wales is the
Prince OF Wales, by whatever other
name he may be called. He must sub.
nit to receptions and cheers.
A prince of a great empire is al.
ways an appealing spectacle TO great
numbers of people, and the heir to
Britain's throne Is a particularly
strong drawing attraction. He is a
headliner among princes. Old Ameri-
cans will recall, and other Americans
have read. that the Prince Of Wales
came 20 America In the summer Of
1850, and that he came not as the
Prince OF Wales but as Baron Rem
frew. Like the present prince, his
grandson, he landed in Canada. BY
invitation Of President Buchanan ne

but TO all the people ne was the Prince

then and later commented on as curl

Many Of our people talked much Of

plauded with enthusiasm and delight
when a politician would twist the royal
lions tail.
But, just the same. the population OF
Washington and other American cities
jammed the streets to get a look at
the Prince OF Wales, and among our

to speak Of him as Baron Renfrew,

Wild Life i'm Roadhouses
Cause of Much Crime

1t is commonly difficult for steady
going citizens to get excited or indig-
nant over crimes committed In that
questionable rural resort, the road
house. When one reads of the rob-
bing or fleeing of galaxy of "soci-
ally prominent" or otherwise notable
enthusiastically enough, persons
with educated tastes in moonshine
and jazz are tacitly assumed now
adays to be prominent" in either
society or buSiness-at motor resort
near a big city the temptation arises
in an orderly mind to dismiss the
affair with trite phrase about the
bankrolI. But that is not an adequate
way to deal with one of the hardest
crime problems of the period.
Lawlessness which fails to arouse
public indignation Is the most dan
gerous kind of all. The bootlegging
roadhouses despise and disregard the
law and do their best to cheaper it
in the eyes of others They use for
their purpose the healthy temptations
of ride In the country air, hunger
and desire for gayety. That Is the
insidious part of the situation.
The country districts around the
big cities must take steps to police
themselves better, both by demanding
real service from their present agen-
cies for law enforcement and by es-
tablishfnG better agencies
Public opinion should insist that
these essential steps be takon.--Chi-

Aviation Carnival.

While Washington people have be-
come familiar with the hum and drone
Of aerial cars, and have seen count
less airplanes scudding through the
sky, they are soon to have an aviation
show such as has never before been
staged in the air Of the Capital, and it
is believed that they will be given the
biggest aviation spectacle that has
ever been seen In the new world, and
perhaps greater than any air meet
ever held In peace time In the old
world. 1t Is announced that an air
carnival will be held at Boiling Field
on September % for the benefit of the
Army Relief Society, an organization
which provides relief for widows and
relief and education of orphans of SOL
diers Of the Regular Army. Planes
and equipment from other flying fields
will be brought to Washington, and
many celebrated pilots will take part.
All the arts of flying will be shown.
There will be bombing Of objects on
the ground, large formation flying, ex-
hibitions Of attack and counter attack
in the sky and fancy flying. Benefit
carnivals are to be held at other flying
fields and at a number Of Army posts,
but the Washington aviation carnival,
according to the promise OF the bird
men, is TO be more imposing than any
other, and the news of this affair will
be spread about the country. Millions
Of people sitting before the screen Will
see pictures Of the spectacle. Wash

sion, but these will not take care Of
the excess of pupils over rooms and
desks.
This is the same situation that has
prevailed at school opening for years,
perhaps intensified now over former
times. The plain fact is that WASH
ington's school equipment is falling
behind the increase OF population.
With all the expedients Of portable
buildings and double-time classes and
half-time shifts 1t has been impossible
to keep the average Of pupils per
building down to the point Of efficient
instruction.
These conditions are due to the lack
Of comprehensive, progressive build.
ing program that will care for the
annual increases and take care Of
the arrears-the expenditure OF sew
eral million dollars-fifteen millions
have been estimated as representing
the immediate need-on a series Of
building constructions. From session
to session Of Congress this matter has
been debated, and various plans have
been proposed for school construction
programs. But no step has been def
initely taken, and the appropriations
have remained upon the annual al
lotment basis without appreciably, If
at all, reducing the margin between
current needs and facilities.
Not half dozen, but a score Of new
schoodhouses are urgently required
today. There is difference Of opinion
as TO the best practice in providing
school buildings, whether to erect
