soon forgets hatreds of war.
In the White House yesterday
the president received and warmly
congratulated DR.. Eckener, tall
blonde German, that brought over
the ZR-3. DR.. Eckener and the
able German air sailors that came
with him, were entertained at a
formal luncheon at the navy build
ing by high United States officials
and DR.. Baer, secretary of the Ger
man embassy.
The German nation received a
terrific blow in that war, but got
rid of kaisers, and that probably
was worth the price. Ability and
hard work overcome everything in
the end, and the Germans possess
both to the highest degree.
Commander c. B. Tinker, United
States navy, retired, and therefore
free to speak plainly, says Japan
'has launched an intensive pro-
gram of airplane construction.
Even Japanese school children are
asked to contribute to building fly
ing machines"
With II flying machine factories
working day and night, Japan's en-
ergy ought to interest President
Coolidge, and those that share with
him responsibility for national de-
fense.
Why, Mr.. President, does Japan
want so many flying machines? Is
there any connection between the
building of those machines, modern
fighting engines, and Japanese in
dignation at our immigration laws?
Polite request to President Cool
idge and Postmaster General New
Please make the transcontinental
air mail triple-headed service,
something like Cerebus, watchdog
of the internal regions. He was
most efficient watchdog.
Air mail, direct from New York
to San Francisco, should continue,
of course, but there should be a
splitting up of mail at some con-
venient point, perhaps at Salt Lake
City, with direct flights from that
point south to Los Angeles, north
to Seattle, as we'll as to San Fran
cisco. More splitting will come
later. This country needs flying
machines, and there is plenty of
postoffice work for them to do.
The French say appetite comes
with eating" Appetite for Ameri-
can money also comes with eating.
America has ten billions lent In
Europe, with little prospect of pay
ment for the greater part of the
money.
Private individuals have several
thousand million dollars invested
in European bonds, and have just
bought $110,000,000 of German
bonds. 1t is announced that va
'rious European countries are try
ing to borrow more billions here.
President Mitchell of New York's
National City bank, biggest in
America, looks at investments from
the point of view of the American
investor, and issues useful warn
ing against the indiscriminate float
ing or buying of foreign loans.
Wall street election gamblers bet
even money that you can't name
any three states that La Toilette
will carry.
What about Wisconsin, North
Dakota, Minnesota?
Wall street also bets even money
that Coolidge will carry New York
state by 100000 votes. 1t will sur
prise John w. Davis when he learns
how many votes that religious quar-
rel in the democratic convention
was destined to cost him.
German professors believe that
they have found in acetylene gas
an ideal anaesthetic, permitting
operations Of long duration, with
out harmful after effects, and these
men, Wielend and Guass, believe,
which is the most important, that
they have found a safe narcotic
for child birth. Mixed with oxygen
in small quantities, the anaesthetic
cuts off transmission of pain
through the spinal column, while
leaving the brain awake.
Sooner or later human ingenuity
will conquer all disease, and con-
quer also the pain of child birth.
There must be some limit to that
severe punishment inflicted upon
Eve and her daughters for listening
to the snake and eating the apple.
IL you concentrate on one thing
with intelligence and work hard
you will arrive.
Marcus Lowe, not many years
ago, used to tell this writer that he
was going to have theaters, and
develop moving pictures. He did
so, and has just paid $1,000, 900
for "a little country house," at the
waters edge at Glen Cove, Long
Island. Captain DeLamar spent
$2,OO0,000 on the house that Mar
Gus Lowe buys for $1,000,000.
The ZR-3 amazes visitors with
its luxury" comfortable berths,
bath rooms, lounging rooms, lxitch-
en-, halls, magnificently furnished.
Those lacking imagination say
Flying ships are too delicate, too
easily injured, depend too msch on
the weather" It's the old story,
weather rules man, then man rules
the weather.
Trains on the railroad from Buff
falo to Rochester were advertised
to start, weather permitting"
Many so years old will live to see
ocean steamships entirely out of
