III the Shenandoah was in perfect
condition and was capably navigated
she was most assuredly unable to
Withstand an abnormal stress. Now
comes another question: Was 1t
known that the airship could not in
perfect condition and with perfect
management endure in severe storm
stress? II it was known. or suspected,
that she could not pass safely through
violent gale Of wind, a long chance
was taken when she was sent out on
her last voyage through a region OF
possible storms, presag Of which had
been given by disturbances advancing
from the Northwest.
In Secretary Wilbur's statement it
is noted that a skilled meteoroiosist
accompanied the Shenandoah. Just
what service a weather forecaster on
the ship itself could render is not ex.
planned. What was needed, and will
always be needed in these cases, is a
weather forecssting service ahead of
the airship. The most skilled meteor.
ologist on the dirigible itself, unless
kept informed by radio of happenings
ahead, could render no assista nee
whatever in the navigation Of the

y Farms in France.

While In America we are urging peo.
pie to stick to the farm and make the
earth give to them the living it should
be made to earn, over in France thew
are doing this without urging. 1t is
said to be remarkable with what ra.
pidity the farms abandoned because OF
the war are being reclaimed.
We are advised that. of the 1850 .O00
acres of land rendered unsuitable for
use in the devastated regions OF
France at the time of the armistice
sS per cent had been restored on Jan.
uary l, 1925. Practically all the land
covered with barbed wire entangIe,
ments has been cleared, and 81 Der
cent of the earth that had been thrown
dp in making trenches has now been
used for filing in. OF the nearly g.
600 900 acres of. farm land unsuitable
for use at the time of the armistice,
4,525,00 acres have been leveled off.
BY the end of the war the number
of destroyed buildings had reached
ss,7s2. On January l 50s,S1e of
able number of the rest will not be
re-erected, however, as their owners
have accepted war damages with no
intention to rebuild.
II would seem that the French have
become adopts at rebuilding after a
great crisis of arms. But there are
some lessons America might learn
from her. Over here we abandon the

The Shenandoah Inquiry.

Secretary Wilbur, in formal state
ment regarding the loss of the Shenan-
doah, declares that the commander of
the airship was under no complusion
TO start her fight at a specified time,
that he had authority to postpone it If
conditions were not favorable. Re-
garding the suggestion that the acci-
dent was due to change in the es-
cape valves, the Secretary points out
that the gas bags did not explode, be-
ing intact at the time of the collapse
of the ship.
Immediately after the disaster sug-
gestion was advanced that Comdr.
Lansdowne was under imperative or.
ders, which he could not ignore or
evade or change, to take the ship from
Lakehurst on it's westward fight, and
that he had started the flight with
misgivings in view Of certain known
atmospheric conditions. The Secre-
tary's statement appears to refute this
contention distinctly.
In the inquiry that is now in prog
ress to determine the cause of the dis
aster there win be two points at issue:
Was the structure of the Shenandoah
in any manner or degree faulty? Was
the ship strong enough to Withstand
only normal weather stresses? In
other words, was the Shenandoah as
stout and in all details dependable as
possible. and was she, il In perfect

Bathing Beaches

- Col. Sheriff., director OF public build
.sinss and parks, in an address before
sAFhe Rotary Club, says that the re-
Gently published report of the Potomac
water survey by the Public Health
Service does not signify that the main
tenance of bathing beaches on the
shores Of the rivers is impossible. Es-
climates for two beaches, one on the
/, Potomac near Key Bridge and the
other on the Anacostia shore, have
been submitted to the Bureau of the
budget. The water conditions that
are inimical to health, says the colo
mel, may be corrected by chlorination
as in the Tidal Basin, where a beach
was maintained without injury 10 the
& health of the users.
There is reason TO hope that Col.
Sheriff. is correct in his belief that the
waters OF the rivers can be used for
public bathing. The report of the
Public Health Service certainly gave
the community a shock and appeared
TO render the bathing beach problem
most difficult of solution. The direc-
vi cr. pdpiiS anu DR.
e dent in his desire to give the people
of the District the amplest and best
facilities for outdoor public bathing,
does not furnish an explanation of the
raneans to be employed to make the
waters pure enough for such use. His
confidence, however, is inspiring.
= If a method cannot be found to
- purify the river water sufficiently to
e permit bathing, it will be necessary to
construct public bathing places fed by
filtered water. Washington cannot be
allowed to go without ample and per-
fectly safe facilities for this purpose.
The question will be brought before
z Congress at the coming session and
a everybody hopes that it will be an
.swered decisively and promptly. with
ssSorne provision that will be availa BILE
.for the next Summer season.

sons who do not present permits to

official, after due inquiry into the
character OF the applicant and his
need Of a weapon. Such a penalty
should be applied to the vender of the
deadly goods.
1t is idle to rely upon the concealed
weapons law" as a safeguard against
crime. The concealed weapon" is not
the real menace. 1t is the used
weapon. The hidden gun cannot be
detected until after it is used So
slight is the chance Of being caught
with gun in the pocket. ready for
use, that pistol "toters' freely arm
themselves.
Repeatedly this recommendation for
truly effective pistol law has been
made by District authorities, but
without response by Congress. Bills
have been drawn and even considered
in District committees. but with no
action in the legislative chambers.
The Commissioners have no authority
to enact legislation. They might, by
stretch Of their police regulation
power, write rule which imposes
heavy fines upon dealers who sell
without receiving proper credentials,
but there is grave doubt as to the
effectiveness of such a procedure. The
sure way to relief from this deadly
evil is by statute which declares the
furnishing of guns to persons not
authorized to obtain them a felony
punishable by imprisonment.
Recent crimes in other Jurisdictions
illustrate the ease with which insane
persons can arm themselves for crini-
nal purposes. The District is today
exposed to such happenings in the
absence of an effective pistol regula-
ton law.
