Hopping Along.

They are hopping along, those in
trepid American globe flyers. Long
delayed in the icy regions Of Iceland
and Greenland, they are now coming
south rapidly. Yesterday they took
off from Ice Tickle, Labrador, despite
rain and fog, and landed in Hawkes.
Bay, Newfoundland. Today they move
on to Pictou, Nova Scotia, and tomor-
row they hop to Boston, where they
will drop their pontoons and don their
earth-landing wheels. This means that
they may reach Washington Saturday
or perhaps Sunday.
They are now in hurry, these
globe flyers, fastening home after the
worst Of their long journey. Little
things like wind squalls and rain and
fog are not holding them back now.
They have flown over great stretches
of the sea, over mountains and over
deserts. They are back in civilization.
They are making real globe-circling
time, and if pressed could make bet.
ter time. But it is well to proceed with
some caution. A mishap at this stage
OF the journey would be especially
lamentable. They have gone nearly
around the world with no fatalities,
though two of the planes have
dropped out Of the race. They hope
to make goal with no further diminu.

the winning of a certain flag.

GUS in the past and will continue, but
here is a matter that is partly within
our control. Let storm threaten and
many persons will allow themselves to
become agitated. There is more or less
excitement expressed in hurry, and
rain and a few drops begin to fall.
Some persons calmly take shelter and
others risk their lives in hurrying
after street cars and lodging In and
out of traffic. 1t would be better that
a few drops of rain should strike the
old, or even the new, hat than that
you should be knocked down by
street car or an auto. This pre-storm
excitement may be noted among
chickens and other animals, but men
and women should know better. There
are automobilists who speed up and
drive nervously when even moderate
storm impends. A good many per-
sons when they find a small storm
panic getting hold Of them might well
stop an,. make count-say, ten
and think that storms have been COM
ing and going for all time. and that
the chance of being injured in
storm at Washington is not SO great
as being knocked down while cross
ing F. street on a fair day.
Yesterdays storm was a sharp and
smart one for Washington. We have
had news of hurricanes at sea and
tornadoes in various parts of the
country. but Washington has very
little to complain of in the way of
weather We seem to live in quiet
and well ordered part of the world.

More Trouble in China.

what the trouble is all about is be.

unhappy country has been for some
years in strife over political affairs.
with armies of the North and armies
of the South contending, and the Pek.
ing government maintaining itself
precariously in the turmoil.
Then for time peace has reigned.
That is. as much peace as seems pos
sibe in the disordered land. Foreign
relations were brought back fairly
close to normal. The Peking govern

Shanghai. 1t was at first described as
a merchants war Armed forces
sprang up suddenly, and at the latest
reports Shanghai is the scene Of a bat

tervention.
While these things have been going
on there has been an intrigue of Rus
sian influence at Peking. The repre-
sentative of the Soviet has established
his official status. but has been denied
the use of the former embassy. The
envoys of other powers have protest
ed. The outbreak at Shanghai may
have some relationship to this Peking
situation. Again. it may be entirely
separate 1t is impossible, as far as
the published news reports have gone
to understand precisely the cause of
these renewed troubles.
At no time since these civil compli
cations arose has the Peking govern
ment been strong enough to command
the situation. 1t has subsisted largely
by the support of the other powers
Now Shanghai, which is one Of the
greatest Of the harbors of the East, is
likely to be the scene of warfare en-
dangering the shipping of many ma.
tions. Naval vessels Of the powers
are gathering there to prevent if pos.
sible a disastrous happening which
would possibly lead to forceful in.
ternational Intervention. 1t is highly
undesirable that there should be any
further interference in China's affairs
by other governments. but it may be
necessary to put an end to the costly
conflicts which are endangering the
peace of the world.

Better Street Lights.

The new street-lighting program Of
the District goes forward. Announce
ment is made that. about 1000 of the
new ornamental electric lights lately
designed for Washington will be set
up during this fiscal year. The lamps
that will be replaced will be set I'D on
streets that now have only gas lamps
or none at all. The schedule of streets
to be Immediately better lighted has
not been made out, but Sixteenth
street north from H and PENNSYLVANIA
avenue between Fifteenth and Seven
teenth streets have been designated
as among the ways on which the new
lamps will be set. The chief adva ntage
OF the new over the old lamps is not
that they are ornamental. but that
they will throw more light on the
street. The sum of $4,000 is to be
spent on the new lighting program
during the remainder of the fiscal
year. and the Commissioners hope to
obtain authority from Congress at the
next session to carry out the exten.
sive better-lighting program already
drawn by the engineers. 1t is crafty
ing that we are on the way to making
the Capital a better-lighted city.

The Suuall.

Several accidents in yesterday 8
storm were caused by articles blown
into the street from roofs or from
buildings under construction, and also
by persons who, frightened by the
storm, ran into distractions. There is
no way to provide against all such
mishaps, but such precaution as can
be taken should be. Building regula.
tions set it down that signs, cornices,
balustrades, fiagpoles, scaffolding, ETC.,
shall be secure against being blown
down, but a loose plank and a table
blown from the top Of a building sent
two men to a hospital yesterday. A
child was killed by the blowing over
Of tall piece Of furniture which had
been set in the yard. Such an acci.
dent causes grief, but we cannot so

no chance of death by accident.

The Campaign in Full Swing.

With the passing of Labor day the
political campaign gets into full
swing. In recent years the first Mon
day in September has been regarded
as the actual opening date Of the real
lighting. BY that time committee or
ganiZations are perfected. speakers are
chosen and assigned and issues are
clearly defined. The time between
nominating conventions and Labor
day has been spent in preliminaries.
Labor day was marked by speeches
by the three candidates addressed to
the working men. These We're vir-
tually the opening guns, although ac-
ceptance speeches had furnished text
for partisan comment. These three
Labor day speeches were competitive
bids. Each of the candidates sought
TO demonstrate that his party is the
true friend Of organized labor. This
competition has already led TO some
interesting analyses. Most notable.
however, is the evidence Of a disposi-
ton by Mr.. Davis to go beyond the
text Of the Democratic platform and
vie with Senator La Toilette in his ap-
peal for labor support.
1t is now announced that Gov.
Smith of New York will take the
stump for Davis and Bryan in New
Hampshire. Massachusetts. Rhode Is
ware, New York. New Jersey, Illinois
and possibly Ohio. This itinerary has
been arranged without reference to
the possibility that he may eventually
be compelled to take the nomination
for another term. Democratic leaders
In New York are still hoping thus to
command his services despite his re.
peated refusal.
Scouts are reporting to the several
headquarters after surveying the
fields Of particular interest. In the
published accounts they are most re-
assuring to their respective chiefs.
Trends and waves are described
in East and West. OF course. there
are reports made to headquarters that
are never published, the confidential
Concealment Of unfavorable reactions
while reporting only favorable ones is
no service at all. The optinlist who
refuses to recognize adverse infiu-
ences and tendencies has no proper
place in political campaign.
Next week Maine will vote for State
officers. A hot campaign has been
waged there, and Democratic hopes
are high that local victory will be
scored for that party. not 80 much for
the sake of the State offices as for the
influence and effect a Democratic
triumph will have upon the Nation
at large. There is still some faith
in the old saying, LAS goes Maine so
goes the Union 1t has not always
been the case, but it sounds Well
and is stimulant of hope and en-
COuragement.

Double.Entry Account
OF Human Health

Virtually the dynamic address of
Sir David c. Bruce before the British
Association for the Advancement of
Science in Toronto offers a double
entry account as between human
health and modern civilization, in
which the latter has both credits and
debts
Among the credits are bathtubs,
saner living, shorter hours of work,
serum safeguards against bacterial
diseases, safer milk and water sup
plies, the x-ray and more efficient
surgery. Among the debts are pol
ished rice, whitened -four, timed beef
timed vegetables and the unrealized
poisons incident to sewage disposal.
DR.. Bruce, chairman of the govern
ing board of the Lister Institute of
Preventive Medicine. declared: 'The
untutored savage living on the nat
ural fruits of the earth and the chase
knows no deficiency disease"
Civilization, partly because Of these
debit items, has not been very sue
cessful in keeping down disease. Ac-
cording to DR.. Bruce, illness among
insured working people in Britain
represents ldieneSS and economic loss
equivalent to having $4,000 toilers
out of work the year round. He fig
ures the money loss there as $780,
OO0. 900 a year and the loss in the
United States at $4,000, 100000 an
nually.
Science is discovering things all the
time. We know something about the
need of vitamines-what used to be
called a balanced diet" was an un-
conscious acknowledgment of their
existence We know something and
may soon know more about the part
that the glands play in human health
and human growth. Most of us will
agree with Sir David's conclusion:
Medicine in future must change it's
strategy. Instead of awaiting attack
it must assume the offensive. 1t must
no longer be said, 1.-The man was so
sick that he had to call Doctor
But the philosopher will note that in
this attitude of the offensive" mod
ernity will only be going back to
Confucian common sense. The China
man pays a physician to keep him
well and stops paying him if sickness
comes. Psychologically that is tre-
mendous advantage.-Brookl Daily
