The World FLYERS.

1t is appropriate that the world
flyers should remain in Washington
over Defense day and form feature
of the demonstration on that occasion
here at the Capital. They have just
completed all but the continental
carrying the American flag around the
world. In the course of 10 days, ap-
proximately, they will have picked up
the line of their outward flight on the
Pacific coast. They have been delayed
elsewhere by weather conditions and
by mechanical factors. Here they are
delayed for a patriotic purpose. Time
Is not particular factor in their
flight. They are not flying strictly &C.
cording to schedule. The purpose is
to girdle the globe in the air, and this
they will accomplish. Their presence
here will be significant. Washington
welcomed them yesterday, but few
people saw them as they made their
way through the mist and the rain
Field. They were required by the un-
toward conditions to omit the wide
spread flight over the city that was
originally planned for them. On Fri
day they will take the air as part of
the showing of American readiness
to serve when need arises. Then a few
hours later they will start westward,
crossing the continent in about a
week. to complete the circle that is
their objective in obedience to orders
given to them months ago to fly
around the world. AS soldiers they
obeyed. eager to face the hardships
and the perils of that extraordinary
flight. AS soldiers they have gone
through every peril. AS soldiers they
will take part in the Defense day pro.
gram at the Capital.

mate and accredited La Follette with
only IS electoral votes, while con-
tidently claiming the election for
Davis by a large margin.
Just now the optimism Of Mr..
Shaver manifests itself In an analysis
Of the Maine vote for governor, cast
on Monday. The chairman insists
that the figures show that as Maine
goes. so goes the Union, after all. The
reckoning Is simple. The election in
Maine was. from a Democratic stand
point, a victory. Pattangall, flying the
Democratic colors. was defeated by
10000 votes less than In 1920, the last
presidential year, and this in the face
Of the fact that the vote in Maine was
approximately 10000 larger than in
that year. Says Mr.. Shaver: "a
change in the two parties votes Of
anything like similar percentages in
the country would mean a clean
Democratic sweep"
In other words, Names Monday
voting, which carried through every
Republican candidate, means a
sweeping Democratic victory in No
vember." That is to say, if there Is a
similar falling off in the relative Re-
publican strength elsewhere. Thar
"if' is important. The Democratic
hope of carrying Maine was based al
most wholly upon the supposedly
deep Republican factional schism over
the Klan question. 1t was not based
upon any national issue, any eco
nomic question. There is no other
State in which a similar condition pre-
walls. There are faction troubles in
New Jersey and in Massachusetts,
possibly. and perhaps in Indiana. But
not in the same terms that prevailed
in Maine.
1t is truly a bright spirit that can
see a Democratic victory in the Maine
result. Chairman Shaver is gallantly
putting forth his best.

for Fairgrounds for children, and
should not detract much from them
as ornamental features of the city. AS
the public authorities are educated to
the point Of providing adequate play
grounds the play spaces in the older
parks might be restored to walks,
lawns and flower beds, but the main
thing is to make a park as useful as
possible yet keeping it in line with
traditional park purposes.
The use of public Fairgrounds after
sunset is indicated. Children do not
now go to bed when the birds go to
roost. They play in the streets after
dark and many casualties have re.
suited. The need for more bathing
and swimming places is urged by the
city officers and by the public in gen.
eral, but beyond extending the facili-
ties at the Tidal Basin beach much
progress has not been made along this
line. But with the proper urge it will
come in time.

Q. Does the United States pay PAM
anna an annual rent for the Panama
Canal Zone?-V. s. S =
A According to the treaty between
the two countries the United States was
to pay Panama the sum of s10,00o,eoo
outright for the Canal Zone and $3.50
600 annually so long as she continued to
occupy it. This payment began on Feb
ruary 26, 1913, and is still being made.
Q. What is the largest electric
light bulb?-H. T. b.
A. An incandescent lamp recently
exhibited by the General Electric
Company and said to be the largest
ever made has bulb IL inches in
diameter and 1Sh inches high and
is rated at 100000 candle power II
is about 1900 times as large as the
average household lamp. The cur
rent required to operate three such
lamps would run the average street
car.
O. Is there any substitute for
platinum IS B. T.
A An effective, cheap substitute
for platinum has been found in Ger
| tain alloys of chromium and in iron
| electroplated with chromium.

A Former Senator Burton died in

@. Is there a device which shows
the relative motions of bodies in the
solar system?-W. NJ.
A. There is such an apparatus
composed of revolving and rotating
| balls moved by wheelwork. 1t is
called an orrery.
Q. Is the plant teasel or Fuller's,
thistle used in loth-making? I'll G.
A. The heads of the teasel plant,
which are cylindrical with oblong
hook pointed, rigid bracts between,
are used for raising the nap of cloth
The heads are split and fixed on the
circumference of a cylinder that re-
wolves against the surface of the
cloth. No mechanical device has yet
been found to equal this natural con-
trivance.
Q. What was the origin of the
saying that one should not look a
gift horse in the mouth?-V. V. T.
A Archbishop Trench says this
| proverb is as old as Jerome of the
| fourth century, who, when some one
| found fault with certain writings OF
his, replied that they were free-will
| offerings. and that it did not behoove
| one to look gift horse in the mouth.
| Q. When and where did the game
! of croquet originate ID H.
A. There are no authentic data re-
garding the origin of this game,
which was a favorite of kings some
200 years ago. Some writer's say
| that it was evolved from the game
paille maille. which was played in
Languedoc as early as the thirteenth
century.

Facilities for Play.

In her annual report to the Com.
missioners the supervisor Of the Mu.
nicipal Playground Department recon.
mends that playground space for chill.
dren be provided in every park in the
city, And she specifically recommends
that a section Of Judiciary Square be
made into a children's playground
The supervisor says that Fairgrounds
should be lighted, that they may be
used after dark, and she believes that
there should be more swimming facili.
ties, with outdoor pools for children's
use in Summer and indoor tanks for
swimming and bathing in Winter.
These are recommendations in line
with public needs. In many Of the
larger parks it would be practicable
to set aside playground space. 1t
would be in agreement with the idea
that park should be a place of free
public recreation for the health and
happiness of the people. In parts Of
Potomac and Rock Creek Parks the
public playground works WELL. The
tennis courts, golf links, base ball
grounds and the bathing beach have
come into remarkable popularity, and
their patronage is increasing. Some
of the larger reservations in built-up
sections OF the city would afford space

York Times maintains. Gen. Per-
shing has earned a place among the
immortals" and history will not fail
to recognize the American Army's
decisive contribution to the triumph
of the allies The Binghamton
Press admits that what Pershing
might have done in France if the war
had lasted another year it is impos-
sible to say, but he did enough to
establish his reputation" and, as the
Chicago Daily Tribune explains: '1t
was impossible for Pershing to de-
velop or disclose any special genius
as a strategist or master of the sci
ence Of war" since "he was COM
PEELED to accept the proper primacy
of the French and it is to his credit
as a soldier and patriot that he sub
ordinated himself as far as was nee
essary to the common welfare"
Great credit is due him, the Dubuque
Times-Journal feels. for the way he
stepped from the ranks of the peace
time Army in the fore of the Army of
war time
'Pershing is one of the greatest-and
who shall say he is not the greatest ?
American soldiers of the twentieth GEN.
tury." the Grand Rapids Herald de-
clares. "Other men Of that rank have
retired from their post loved by the Ma
tion in very generous manner, but
Gen. Pershing will be the first COM
mander to retire who has won and held
a place as a world military leader" the
Columbus, Ohio, State Journal remarks.
And in view of all this, it is interesting
to note, in the opinion of the Milwaukee
Journal, that when Pershirg, the
school teacher of Missouri, won his ap-
pointment as a cadet he did it by a
single point" and latter West Point he
served seven years as a second lieu
tenant without promotion" making mo

Defense day-on which he will re-
tire-will be tribute to Gen. Persh-
ing-not to Pershing the warrior, but to
Pershing the pacifist, because the latter
is just what he is and it is just what ali
of US are," the Ann Arbor Times News
holds.
Commenting on the report that the
general SIS to set down his experiences
in q volume dealing with the war;" the
Springfield Daily News comments, cit is
to be assumed even before the book

Pershing proposes to add greatly to the
sum total of the worlds knowledge of
what transpired behind the scenes" and
mo man, certainly, is more ably fitted
to record Americas part in this strug-
gle than the leader Of her fighting
forces on the fields OF France"

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN

Q. Why shouldn't kerosene be used
in radiators of autos to prevent
freezing?-O. K.
A. The objections to kerosene as an
anti-freeze solution in the radiator of
an automobile gasoline engine are:
The odor Of heated kerosene, which
when heated evaporates and is liable
to cause a fire If near a flame. On
warm days in Winter there is a tend
ency for engines to heat on account
of difference in coefficient of heat of
kerosene and water or alcohol. Kero-
sene rots radiator tubing and will
also deposit a greasy mist over car
Gas is also liable to form, causing ex-
pansion and bulging of radiator.

Defense Day,

Defense day in Washington will be
ing of the citizen soldiery, the regular
forces and the reserves of unorganized
citizens who will show their willing
ness to serve in case of national need.
1t will be an impressive display of
the defensive strength Of the Nation
at the Capital. In other cities will be
similar demonstrations, all of a peace
making character, not ar-making.
The purpose of this display of the
potential defensive forces of the
United States is to bring to the minds
of the people the fact that in a coun-
try such as this, with no large stand
ing Army, no elaborate system of
armed forces, it is necessary to rely
cies of defense. 1t will not be in the
minds of those who march that they
are likely to be called. They will step
forth with the thought that peace is
the probable portion of the United
States, and that safety from war lies
in a readiness on the part of the peo-
pie to serve whenever the need arises.
Objection has been raised against
Defense day on the score that it is
calculated to alarm other nations with
the militant spirit Of this country.
Nothing is less likely. The purposes
of the United States as peaceful
nation are well understood abroad.
The policies of this Government are
in other lands that the definite and
fixed attitude of the United States is
to avoid entanglements and aggres.
sion. A display of the potential de-
fensive resources in manpower cannot
be misunderstood, save by the unen-
lightened, spurred on to that misun-
derstanding by crafty persons who for
their own purposes seek to represent
the United States as a belligerent
power, aiming at world dominion.
The experiences Of 1917, when it be-
came necessary to enroll the citizens
Of the United States for service,
taught one supreme lesson-that there
should be clearer understanding on
the part of the people Of this country
of their duty. Only through a univer-
sal service act were the forces neces-
sary for American participation in
the great war assembled. Dependence
upon spontaneous rendering of serv.
ices would have left the country in a
lamentable condition Of unreadiness
and ineffectiveness. The victory of
1918, in which the American forces
played so important a part, would
have been impossible.
1t was said then, as it is said now,
that if a foreign foe should attack this
country upon its own territory there
would be no lack of defensive forces.
That question may be answered by
Fridays demonstration. If there is
Indifference, the showing of readiness
and willingness to serve in such an
emergency will be small. II there is
true loyalty it will be impressively
large.
