The thing that counts in buying gasoline what you pay, but what you get for your money

PUT it on a dollars-and-cents basis: "How much mileage how much in motor smooth ness-how much in driving satisfaction-how much in convenience-can l get for my gasoline money?"
 Then search the market. You'll find gasolines for which you'll pay more. Oth- CTS for which you'll pay less. But in no instance will you get more for your money than you'll get with Atlantic Gasoline. And, with the new Atlantic, now available every where, that challenge is more positive than ever.
 No matter what experience you have had with motor fuels, try this new Atlantic Gasoline. Not simply an

 GERMAN HOLIDAY
Many Injured and Taken to HoS-

Berlin. Aug. 12 RS-Constitution day in Berlin ended with rioting in which republicans and communists participated and in consequence of which numerous persons were in jured and were taken to hospitals. A strong force of police had to be called out to quell the disorders, which took place following a torch light procession the republicans had held to commemorate the seventh anniversary of the adoption by Germany of the republican consti- tuition.
 The day was generally observed throughout Germany with special exercises and a great display of re- publican flags and republican ban ners on all public buildings.
 The principal gathering in Berlin was in the Reichstag building where Chancellor Marx delivered an ora

Another Woman Channel Swimmer

1t is a striking coincidence that just
after New York had finished its rous-
ing welcome to Gertrude Ederle as
the first woman Channel swimmer
another woman, an American by
adoption, should have made that pas
sage in only a little more than the
time required, by "Trudie' for the
trip. Ever since Miss Ederle made
her record breaking swim other women
have been trying as they have never
tried before, ana men have been
starting, only to fail. Up to this
afternoon Miss Ederle had been the
only Channel swimmer of the year,
and then Mrs. Clemington Corson
swan from France to England in
fifteen hours and twenty-eight min
ties, or fifty-seven minutes longer than
the time taken by "Trudie." Thus
two women now have beaten the best
time ever made by a man, that Of
Sebastian Tiraboschi, the Argentine
Italian, who swan the Channel in
1SSO Ia SkAICCiI IlOuI anu S"SAA"J
three minutes.
This has been the greatest year for
Channel swimmers ever known. More
people have entered the water bent on
crossing the twenty-one-mile stretch
between France and England than in
any other year. Many of these have
been women, mostly Americans. Men
from all countries have been at Girls
Nez, France. and Dover. England.
Hilmi. the Egyptian, has tried at
least half a dozen times and failed.
Yesterday an Englishman started with
Mrs. Corson and swan to within a
mile and a half of the English coast,
making the best attempt and the
nearest approach to victory that any
of the men who have tried the Chan
mel this year.
Mrs. Corson. the second woman
ever to swim the Channel is a Dane
by birth, but now an American,
through years of residence in this
country and her marriage to an
American citizen, himself noted as an
oarsman. She won records and hon
ors in Denmark by her swimming
ability and was a swimming instruc-
tor at one of the New York Y. w.
c. AS before her marriage. The fact
that she is the mother of two chill
dren adds a point of particular inter-
est to her achievement, which puts
her in the hall of fame, even though
she broke no record and is but the
second to make the classic crossing.

on that hypothesis and attacked the
sky by shooting bombs that burst at
q considerable height. One does not
hear much of such experiments now.
A few years ago the news went round
that men mounted in airplanes could
drive off fog by spraying it with cleo
trifled sand. Whether the fog was pre-
cipitated as rain and whether it Just
faded away because of the electrified
sand is not remembered, but there was
quite TODD about the influence Of
electrified sand on fog and clouds.
Notwithstanding the scientific eff
forts of rain makers considerable
number of persons are still relying on
prayer and the whims of temperature
and clouds to produce rain. People
hereabout are not much agitated on
the subject of rain making, because
we have not recently suffered from
drought.

THEN AND NOW.

Every now and again some one
arises to tell us what a degenerate
age we are living in. They bark back
to the ancient word, There is none
that doeth good-no, not one" They
look at the present age with no large
or adequate knowledgs of past history.
They judge events solely in the light
of the present. Without knowledge
Of comparative history we are inca
pable of passing Judgment upon the
history of our own time. No one with
half a wit would venture to maintain
that we have reached a high degree
of perfection or that we are approach
In the millennium. God knows and
we know that the world in which we
live is far from perfect. On the other
hand, If we are to reach any accurate
conclusions Or to weigh consistently
twentieth century conditions Of life,
we must be able to do SO by making
fair comparisons with conditions that
obtained in other periods.
Reading Sandberg's remarkable
story of the pioneer days Of Lincoln s
life. in which he graphically portrays
the conditions that obtained in the
new and growing Middle West, we
are forcibly impressed with what he
says concerning the habits and prac-
tees Of the period. and his significant
comment concerning the moral de-
generacy Of the time. In every sphere
of life. political, social and industrial,
he discloses conditions that can hardly
be paralleled in our life today. OF
course, then, as now, there were
those saving elements that con-
tributed to the moral stability of the
people. While Lincoln himself, as his
biographers portray him. was not in
his prairie days a church attendant,
the consensus Of opinion Is that he
was profoundly religious. Probably
this was more largely disclosed in his
later than his earlier life. Going still
further back to our colonial period,
Trevelyan discloses conditions that in
the light Of the present seem quite
appalling. 1t is conspicuously true that
the men and women of the past who
have contributed most largely to the
betterment and enrichment Of their
generation have been those who be-

Air Pockets and Aviation.

The fall of the airplane in the Della
ware River which resulted in the
death of Comdr. Rodgers. Friday, is at
tributed to an air pocket, which caused
the machine to slip sideways and thus
to lose it's grip. This is a danger in
flying that has not yet been over
come. The air pocket is a mysterious
condition of partial vacuum in which
the flying ship meets with no re-
sistance and has no support. Just
what causes it is unknown. 1t gives no
warning. The pilot is making head
way smoothly. when suddenly the
air gives out and the machine be-
comes unmanageable. tits and falls.
If ii is al a sufficient altitude ii is pos.
sible to right it and avert crash.
but when at low level. as in the case
of Comdr. Rodgers fatal fight. there
is no opportunity to regain control.
Ayiators are constantly studying
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-08-29

this problem, but as yet have made no
progress toward its solution. There
seems to be no law governing the for
nation of these pockets. They occur
at all heights, even close to the earth,
where the atmosphere is more dense
than in the upper levels. They occur
in both windy and calm conditions.
When a plane is making good speed
the pockets are usually cut through
quickly enough to maintain stability.
for they are not of extensive area.
Perhaps some day the cause of the
formation of these "holes in the air"
will be learned and with that knowl-
edge may come some method of pre-
venting accidents because of them If
they form more frequently in certain
conditions of the wind, flying may be
recognized as more hazardous in such
conditions than at other times.
In this case parachute. such as is
now being experimental with as a
means Of preventing crashes with
heavier-than-air machines, would not
have been of avail, for the distance Of
the fall was too slight to permit the
opening Of the apparatus. The plane
would have hit the surface before the
parachute spread and checked the de-
scent. In this instance the fall was so
swift and short that the occupants of
the plane had no opportunity to re-
lease themselves from the cockpit and
were crushed when the machine hit
the shallow water.

Bishop Of Washington.

lieved in the ultimate survival Of
goodness. In spite of conditions that
were repellent and unprOmising, they
believed that the trend was upward
and not downward. Life today moves
more swiftly and it's living conditions
are more complex than they have
ever been before. Now. as in other
periods, eternal vigilance is not only
the price Of liberty, but 1t Is the price
we must pay for decency and whole
someness in every phase Of our life.
The Master Of men came to a world
that was utterly unresponsive to Him.
Even those who were closest to Him
forsook Him in the hour of need.
Ultimately His enemies led Him to
Calvary and crucified Him. In the
race of these untoward events there
Is no evidence that He ever lost con-
ndence in the ultimate supremacy Of
the principles He came to proclaim
The supremest evidence of this is
witnessed in His attitude as He hung
upon the cross. Father, forgive them,
for they know not what they do"
was His word concerning those who
had mistaken His mission.
We cannot but believe that His
attitude and method of approach to
life Is the only one that ever proves
effectiFe. Men may not, through fear
OF eternal punishment: be brought to
lives of goodness. On the other hand,
1T Is clearly demonstrate that q
gospel Of hope" is the most effective
means Of bringing men and women to
higher levels Of thinking and living.
Stern and ungenerous criticism or
sweeping condemnation contributes
little to the betterment of human con-
ditions. Reforms in our domestic,
social and political life we doubtless
sadly need. The large question is.
what method shall be employed to
accomplish them? The good is ever
more attractive than the evil, but the
good to be appealing must be pre-
scented with the irresistible force with
which Christ gave it to men. We
sometimes wonder whether we would
not make more progress in all our
efforts after reform If we would, with
a finer charity and a more Christ
like spirit, exercise a judgment more
commensurate with that of Him who
said, Neither do condemn thee: go
and sin no more"
