Oakland Tribune adds that "conserva-

make Britain limp and vince for
weeks" AYERS the Syracuse Herald.
"The problem is still far from sol,i-
ton" nevertheless, declares the
Youngstown Vindicator, as it sur
veys the coal situation, and the
Bloomington Paragraph sees in the
situation a Pandora box of serious
problems" but the Savannah Press
feels that "the world will breathe

conflict the Atlanta Journal SAYS of
Premier Baldwin that he was true
to the best Anglo-Sax traditions
and true to his country's future"
The Kansas City Journal adds that
the spirit of compromise, SO dear
to the British mentality. seems
to have prevailed" and the Roanoke

The Oklahoma City Times also takes
up this subject with the comment,
british workmen might learn from
Americans that increased production
and higher pay go hand in hand

according to the Fort Worth Record
Telegram. little was said during
that eventful week concerning the
influence of Russia on the strike.
There will probably be some just
retribution along with the final set

News also declares. "One of the great

The purity of elections. for Senator

that. no matter how the form varied,
art is very much alive and moving
forward Mr.. Medary, the newly elect
ed president of the American Institute
of Architects, stressed this fact in the
address which he made when taking
office at the institutes recent banquet.
1t is important, of course, that the
public should be educated, that taste
should be improved, that the masses
should come to recognize the impor-
tance Of art and it's relation to every
day life, but the real thing that counts
is art itself-art and the artist.
I,enlordant, the great French paint
or who was blinded in the war, gave
utterance to this conviction when he
detected in the voice of a friend pity
for himself 1T makes little differ
ence," he said, that one artist shall
paint no more, the important thing is
that the torch Of art shall be carried
on. that it shall never be allowed to
burn less brightly" That this calam-
ity should befall our own country and
our own time there seems no need for
fear.
J,eopo!d Stokovsky, when he was
awarded recently by the American In

honor for service in the field of music,

holds in normal life is going forward

Lordsburg to Be Station
On NerO Air Mail Line

Douglas people will be keenly inter-
ested in the announcement from Wash
ington on Thursday of the early opera
ton of new transcontinental air mail
line from New York to the Pacific by
way of Atlanta, birmingham New Or
leans and Ell Paso. Douglas. business
men, led by the officers and directors
of the Douglas Chamber of Commerce
and Mines, made a supreme effort to
lhave Douglas included in this new air
[mail route, but the latest announce
ment is that the new air field at Lords
burg, N. NJ, dedicated last Monday, will
be used as landing field for the new
route, and that from. there the planes
will go to Tucson.
The announcement was made by w.
Irving Glover, second assistant post
master general, in charge of air mail
service, who states: Such line is
bound to come and it's need is felt very
kscnly now The southern route will
have an advantage over the present
north transcontinental route in that no
high mountains will be encountered"
eGlover believes that the first step in
the new transcontinental route will be
the establishment of a line from New
York to Atlanta The Georgia city is
already the terminus of a contract air
mail route to Miami, Fla, but has no
air connections with the north. While
Douglas will have connections with the
now air route by way of Tucson, many
local people are disappointed that the
line is not to include this city.
