Wilbur Orders Inquiry Court
to Determine in Full
Causes of Collapse.
COOLIDGE'S AIR BOARD e
WILL MEET TOMORROW
Davis Declares Himself Ready to
Answer All Charges Made
Against Conduct of Service.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The court of inquiry appointed by
| Secretary Wilbur to investigate the
! Shenandoah disaster will convene in
Lakehurst, N. j.. next Monday.
| The court itself will decide whether
! the hearings will be open to the pub
| lie, but it is assumed here that they
will be.
Instructions issued today by Secre.
tary Wilbur to Rear Admiral Hilary
P. Jones, president of the court
formally directed the inquiry to deter
mine the cause of the dirigible's col
lapse and the responsibility for it.
Responsibility to Be Determined.
The court was directed to submit a
report of the facts it will establish
through testimony and to render an
opinion as to whether any acts of the
airship's personnel were respon sible
for the accident.
Meanwhile, preparations went for.
ward today for the first meeting here
tomorrow of the Presidents special
board which will inquire into the whole
subject of aircraft with relation to
the National defense.
The War Department made clear
that 1t was preparing itself to answer
specifically all charges that have been
made against the administration of
the Army Air Service, and Acting
Secretary Davis was said to be ready
If called for, to present in full the

Mitchell Charges Analysed.
Charges by Col. William Mitchell.
former assistant Army air chief and
central figure in the present con.
troversy. as well as others. are being
analyzed at the War Department.
1t has been held by Mr.. Davis that
all charges against the department
have been of broad nature, and that
at no time has any particular criti-
cism of incompetency or mismanage-
ment been made. In view of this he
feels the War Department has had
difficulty in defending itself. He holds
the inquiry in its case will divide into
three principal phases.
One of these is the competency of
the personnel of the present service,
which, Mr.. Davis believes, must nee
essarily form the backbone of any in
dependent service that might be Gre
ated.
Equipment Means Expense.
The equipment of the present serv-
ice is another. it being contended
that the Army Air Service in recent
years has asked of the budget much
larger appropriations than it has re-
ceived Under an independent serv.
ice. the department argues, no i'm
provement could be made in the
equipment unless more money were
made available.
The third point in Mr.. Davis mind
Is that of the system of management,

department could say but little, as an
! Independent department naturally
would change the present administra-
tion of the air force.
The Acting Secretary believes the
present administration of the Air
Service to be competently managed
and to be doing all that is possible to
make itself an adequate adjunct to
the national defense.

 SCHOOL NOTES. (COntrfbuted.)

It is fact that all teachers in school are worked at full capacity. However they are good natured and We feel assured that they will not complain when called upon to work beyond capacity in an effort to stimulate some of the side activ- ities of school life that will not only be a pleasure but benefit to the students.
 Miss Tanner has already kindly consented to organize and coach a team of girls in Basket Ball. The time after school will be divided between the boys and the girls and definite dates will be decided upon as soon as the organizations have been made complete. When pro- perly supervised Basket Ball is as healthful for girls as it is for boys, and We feel assured that Miss Tan rer will look after the physical needs of the players with the same interest as will be shown in the sport of the game.
 We are also anxious to support any possible Musical Club in con nection with the school, if such can be organized and conducted in a way that will not conflict with tie city work that is already being done in that line. An effort will be made, soon, with those students who have had experience with the verious instruments. Those chil1- ren and others who wish to start as beginner. can for reasonable rates get lessons or the following instruments: Violin, Mandolin, Tennor Banjo. Guitar, Hawaiian or America, Cello, Bass Mandoia. Vio- Ia and Euke. These lessons would be given on Satur lays and after school hours. Beginning students would soon be ready for group playing and a string organization would be possible.
 We are always glad to Lave pa irons visit the class rooms and we trust that as time goes on we will De enabled to make their visits more entertaining.

United States OF America.-Both
House and Senate have passed with
out record votes an amendment to
the legislative appropriation bill
which provides for increase OF the
salaries of men bers Of Congress from
$500 to $4,000 and of the salaries
of the Vice President, the Speaker of
the House and cabinet members from
$4,000 to $4,000. The bill does not
contain revenue provisions to cover
the increase of expenditure. The bill
proposes an addition of $1,3f6,00o to
the Government payroll. The House
vote was 237 to SO.
The Senate substituted for the rates
in the House postal pay and rate bill
(the which rates would provide ap-
proximately enough revenue to meet
the contemplated increase of expendl-
ture) the quite Inadequate rates pro-
posed in its own measure, which was
rejected by the House as contraven-

which prescribes that "all bills for
raising revenue shall originate in the
House." The House has rather nat

America has endured and grown

when selfish pursuits, by whatever

dominant, America, like other nations
before it, will show the marks of
decline and decay. Character In our

its commanding place as world
power, it's enviable wealth and its
commercial supremacy have tend
ency to make 1T less considerate of
those finer qualities that grow out of
the conservation of the things of
character. Our youth today are
largely taught to measure success
in terms of wealth or power. They
concentrate their vision upon those
who occupy the foremost places,
and this regardless of whether they
have attained to position through
methods that were dubious and ques-
tionable. When we think of Wash
ington and his period, it is well to
remember that he and his colleagues
excelled. because everything else was
subordinated to the dictates of a
Christian conscience If there is no
royal road to knowledge, then there
is likewise no royal road to power
or success. The only power of sue
cess worthy of the name, is that
which grows out of a life that recog-
nizes the priority of religion
No study of the life of Washington
is true to the facts that does not take
cognizance of the mighty religious
impulses that governed and controlled
him. He had come to understand
the meaning of the Masters words,
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God
and His righteousness, and all these
things shall be added unto you" AS
Christian, as a Mason, as a soldier
in the field, as a master of men, all
his judgments were determined by
the dictates of his conscience. We
need as pilots for the ship of state
today men of his gifts and graces
The opportunities for leadership are
large and many, but America needs
above all else the leadership of those
who are responsive to the will and
