The QuadrenniaI Guess
BY Nj. T.. Tracy

It is singularly appropriate that
a man named Byrd should be first
TO fly over the pole. The coinci.
dence will make him immortal in
publication as well as in story,
though without detractins from his
feat.
These be wonderful times, indeed,
with a man accomplishing almost
between suns what it took Peary
almost months to perform after he
had trained himself by ten unsuc-
cessful attempts.
But let us not forget that some
OF the credit is due those who spent
their lives perfecting the airplane
and engines to drive it.
Langley did a flop more tragic
than Josiah Green and died Of a
broken heart, but his should be no
small share of the glory, since he
had the vision, If he lacked the time
and strength to realize it.
Back of the things we do-the
things that make this age surpass
every other-is the dreamer, the
inventor, the mental pioneer, over
reaching themselves nine-tenths Of
the time, but worth while all the
time, because they force us out Of
the run and into action.

Journey of 5000 miles with two

duced a mere novelty?

speed is not the truest kind of econ.

cost.
Even If Flettner fails to get any
thing out of it for himself or to inn
prove conditions for other people he
has still fathered an idea and that
after all is the important thing.
The only real danger we face or
ever will face is the danger Of steriH-
ty in the production Of ideas, the
danger of becoming Chinafied, as
Roosevelt put it, and sinking into a
slough Of futile imitation.

Maybe we were tripped,' he said.
The story told police was confused.
Howard had said a youth, about 16,
had pushed them in the stream. He
identified a high school youth from
the school year book, but denied that
he was the boy, when they were
brought together.
Eugene De Wore, 9, Of 6543 Ash
land Ave, told police the Helpen-
stine boys were playing along the
bank and asked him to "come down
and play in, the boat" There was
an old boat in the stream.
Harold Weller, II, GIG Cornell
Ave, who had been swimming near
the scene of the drowning, said he
left as the Helpenstine boys came.

Wore, told detectives she saw the
boys playing along the bank and
warned them not to get into the
boat.

The best solution political brethren
can think up for the farm problem
Is some sort. Of protective tariff or
some sort Of revolving fund like that
with which we tried to tickle the
railroads into shape.
Meanwhile it is a horde OF useless
middlemen that blocks the road and
the consumer is getting hurt as
much as the farmer
What the farmer needs ia an open
highway with the stall at the end
OF it. where he can sell direct That
is what the consumer needs, too.
Municipal marts designed to fur
nish a straighter path from field to
table and cooperative agencies on the
farmers part to make them function
effectively-that is what all classes
need.
If Washington wants to do some
thing worth while, let it devote itself
to clearing away the rubbish that
has accumulated between the man
who grows things and the man who
eats and wears them-the brokerage,
gambling and manipulation, and let
1t remember that city folks have
more at stake, if anything, than the
farmer.
How blind politicians can be to the
real problem and the deeper impulses
that demand a solution.

need votes they will grab at any
