Westward again today.

o'clock this morning, heading for
McCook Field, Dayton, Ohio.
Twice Delayed.
The hop-off was twice delayed
first by an unfavorable weather
report which indicated rain in the
vicinity of Parkersburg, w. Va, and
then at 1920 a. m. by an accident
to Lieutenant Smiths plane.
In taxing down the field for the
hop-off, Smith swung the Chicago
around in such a manner that the
tail piece of the big plane was torn
off, making 1t necessary for all the
filters to stop until repairs could
be made.
Smith got away first on the Sec
ond hop off, followed by Wade and
Nelson.

do we manage so successfully to weed

las far as knowledge can epitomize
excellence); no matter how deep and
sincere his love of teaching; we
reserve the precious right to mar his
destiny and his natural ambition, if
we find his personality deficient"
Inasmuch as personality is as
various, as changing, as indeterminate
a concept as goodness or wickedness
itself, we arrogate to ourselves a
marvellous prerogative; as a court Of
last resort (plaintiff, judge and jury,
sitting like holy trinity, we inter-
pref personality arbitrarily to fit in
with our ideal of the meek conform

Hence (within the limits of ex-

unconventional persons, unique indi-

takers, dissentients in general; and
we weed in quietists, kow-towers,
conventionally dressed and conven-

mistakes, to be sure. However, we
