Nersemen crossed the Atlantic and

intrepid seafarArs did not effect a per

they left memorials OF their visit
which remain today. Long after came
other Norsemen. when this country
had hAAn colonized and developed into
an independent nation, and they have
hecome part OF the body polite.
They have contributed much Of It's
strength to the United States. They
and their descenda nts have made the
hest of citizens.
Now comes a representative Of that
portion OF Scandinavia which is
known as Sweden. The heir to The
crown is paving his first visit to the
land that ancient Norsemen found in
their voyasins and that later Morse

A Recipe Proposed for
More Executive Dignity
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
There are two ways I'm which honor
should he shown the National Execu-
tive. rejecting honor upon the whole
Nation and establishing wholesome
dignity.
One is the use of such an express
sion as "The President and Mrs,
Coolidge" instead Of "CoOlidges," will
spend the week end on the Mayfiower,
in headlines 10 personal paragraphs
In the newspapers Of Washington
which 80 out all over the United
states and. indeed. over the whole
world. | seldom read more than the
headlines In newspapers, and these
are sometimes as amusing, IL one has
II sense Of humor, as the cOntribu-
tons to the little ma saZine Poetry,
published In Chica so. l also like the
majesty OF mountains, the gra ndeur
OF an approaching storm, the high
school stadium crowded with O. people
Joined in a Fourth of July celebra-
tion, and the utmost respect to the
ones chosen to represent the highest
Of our national and social life.
Having mentioned the MaynOwer,
has any one else been struck with the
fact that 1t was a rather vulgar thing
to do for the management Of the
hotel Of that name to use that name,
seeing that 1t had heretofore been
sacred to the Presidents yacht, and
that confusion would result in social
converse? If the President, intent on
other matters, has not requested 1t.
1t does seem to me that Congress
should insist that the hotel change it's
name, and all the more because a
hotel by some other name would not
be 30 popular. Does 1t tend to make
America niam' and honesty" syn
onymOus? OLGA w. CAMPBELL.

One Good Reason Is Enough
From the Kansas City Pos

from the Kansas City Post.
A month ago 4 number OF scient ntists
and explorers, the most celebrated Of
them being Capt. Donald Macmillan.
were agreed that the airplane and the
balloon were Of little value in Arctic
exploration. Captain. the first to
criticize the use Of aircraft in efforts
to reach the Pole, was more temperate
than the others. He did not regard
the airplAne or the balloon a. having
much value in such undertakings and
considered ships. sIedges and dogs
much more dependable and much
safer.
Perhaps they are. And yet two
expeditions have flown to the North
Pole, Lieut.. Comdr. Richard e. Byrd
and his pilot in an airplane. and Roald
Amundsen. Lincoln Ellsworth and
their subordinate personnel In a bal
loon.
A month ago the opinion that ships.
sledses and dogs we're better suited to
Arctic exploration than aircraft
seemed unquestionably sound. 1t still
may be sound. Yet it is an estab-
lished fact that one can go 80 the Pole
In an airplane or a balloon. And 1t IL
further established that one can get
back to civilization. or to the OutpOets
Of civilization. lot quicker than
when he travels by dog sledee and
waits for the melting Of the ice TO
liberate his ship.
The achievements OF Lieut.. COmdr
Byrd and OF the Amundsen- -Ellsworth
expedition emphasize truth infinitely
more important to the world as a
whole than anything it may learn
about the Arctic. 1t il that most per-
sons can see 10 reason why any given
undertaking cannot be carried out
successfully to one for its success.
One should view most proposals criti-
cally and keep his feet on the ground.
But it is the man who sees why a
given thing can be done, rather than
why it can't. who carries a project
through to execution. Byrd. Amund-
sen, Ellsworth and their associates. in
the words of Mr.. Edgar A. Guest.

/ Hats off to llicksvilIe. T.. L.. II has

subject to ridicuie. The town was

er, one of the makers of American re.
iisiOus history, aud for many wears it

came the vaudeVillians and the min
strelS and the professional auipsters
with Jibes A "hick" or "rube" be-
came an object Of derision. Iiicksville
is not rural settlement, not q town
Of one -sallused denizens. 1t is a
thriving. charming town, with an ur.
ban spirit. There are two classes Of
residents. original Ilicksviliites and
newcomers who commute. Some Of the
latter recently felt that they were put
ting their social status in jeopardy by
acknowledging that they lived IN "a
town with such Il name and they he.
gan to asitate for IA change. Anything
but Hicks,ilie: Anything without that
first syllable that caused them to
writhe whenever they gave their home
address. So the other day the matter
was brought to an issue and u vote
was taken. The total Of the baliutinx

bered 3l7. Those against cha nsinx
were Ss4. One ballot WAS spoiled. four
were blank. and twenty-nine were
voided by improper marking. Again
a good showing for Hicksville. So the
indictment against the old town name
was quashed and now there is great
rejoicing there. and tomorrow night a
celebration will be held under the aus.
pices of the Committee for Saving the
Name Of Hicksviiie. All Long Island
has been invited. Two bands have
been engaged. A parade led by the
Oldest inhabitants has been arra nged

Another Disappointment.

I
bill no nearer action in the Senate
than when it was first reported by the
Senate District committee. II Was
taken up last night at a special ses-
| sion held to consider local affairs, but
struck snas when Senator oh.
/ jected to the "wonderful power" it
| conferred "n The traffic director. 1t
was Temporarily laid aside" The
hope liz that this mild sounding phrase
| does not mean It's death kneli.
II is difficult 10 find logic ohjert ion
to this bill, which is simply an amend
ed, clarified and better measure than
the one which was hurriediy. passed
by Congress last year "a nd under which
Washington is now operating. There
are many flaws in the original code.
This amended nlea sure does nothing
more than put the National Capital
under II sensible. reasonable traffic
code.
The director. under the amended
bill. has no more power than under
! the original one if the intentions uf
Congress had beeu carried out by Dis.
trict agencies and the courts. The
commissioners aud the courts, how
ever. the former by passive action in
the face of adverse decisions by the
latter. have put the situation at the
point where everything pertaining to
ran is in hopelessly muddled con
dition from which there can be no
.hanse until drastic remedies are ap-
plied.
Much Of the amended bill concerns
recent court decisions WHICH have
thrown ira ffic enforcement into confu-
sion. Congress Ia certainly not. willing
that horse. drawn vehicles should be
immune from all trafffc reeuls tions;
that heavy trucks should speed
through the streets on a par with the
pace OF passe nger vehicles; that trucks
and automobiles should erOceed at
twenty-five mites an hour over
1imsy and rickety bridges. and that
all traffic' can push through alleys, in
front Of schools aud in dangerous
places st this speed.
Yet by failure TO act on the bill Con
! sress countenances these very things
beca use one Of the Judges in the Traf-
fc Court has ruled that the director
| has no authority to promulgate such
safety regulations ~ are deemed
proper to prevent these practices, md
the nlissioners have remained si-
lent in the face of the overturning Of
these essential rules.
If Congress is unwilling to pass the
amended code, which continues to give
the director the wonderful power" Of
being merely an advisor to the Com
missioners without authority, let
new bill be written which will give
the Commissioners or the courts or
somebody else power to make regula-
tions for the protection OF life and
limb.
Washington needs traffic regulations
and traffic enforcement. 1t has very
few Of the f1rst which will hold up in
court, and is consequently getting
very little Of the second. So it is ap-
parent that some action must be taken
by Consress and without further de-
Law

Of waning strength as the nausea
that overpowered her.
And now comes Lillian Cannon from
Baltimore. Since 1915. when she was
girl Of -, Miss Cannon has had vi.
sions Of some day seeing her name in
print as one of those who had made
the channel crossing.
She Is on her way to France now
where she will train for eight weeks
before slipping off the rock Of Girls
Nez and setting out FOR England
With her will swim two dogs. Chesa
peake Bay dogs. regarded as the
greatest swimmers in the world.
Miss Cannon thinks she can do it
because she is young. strong. conf
dent. a superb and untiring swimmer
Moreover. she swan across Chesa
peake Bay, distance Of 22 miles
during a severe sQuall.
She knows something Of the shift
ing tides Of the cha annel. Knows that
the slightest breeze sets the cha nnel
in motion. Knows that she is con-
fronted by one of the most dificult
tasks a girl ever attempted. And still
she is confident. They raise swim
mers down in the Chesapeake Bay re-
siOn, and the old bay itself is not the
easiest thing to swim in when the
weather is rough.
Bring on your old cha nnel"' she
cries, and every American with sport
ing blood in his veins hopes she will
conquer it. hopes the honor of being
the first woman to swim the famous
channel will rest on the shoulders Of
a fellow American.
