Modern Appeals.

WRC, the Voice of the National
Capital" Joined in with score of
radio broadcasting stations last night
to appeal for aid for the hurricane
victims in Florida and the other Gulf
States.
This modern appeal marks a new
epoch in the cause of humanity. AT
no time before has such a, vast au
dience been reached and never before
in such a thrilling manner.
Through every town and hamlet
the densely populated cities the farms
and homesteadS, the appealing re
quest for assistance was carried by
the ether waves. Tragically along
with humanity's demand came IN
quiries concerning the welfare of rela
tives and friends in the stricken
areas.
No pursestring could have been
tightly tied. for the response was
generous and immediate. One small
station out in the Middle West re.
ported tEe receipt Vi CtltChS etIiu
pledge kilograms totaling more than
81 900 an hour. The senders were
scattered throughout all sections OF
the States, where immediate response
before the days of wireless could not
have been possible.
The listener got more thrill out OF
the air last night than at any time
since radio was established. Twisting
his dials in various turns brought him
new stations broadcasting their ap
peals and acknowledgment of contri
buttons. Now and then flashes OF
news would come through, and radio
vision became an actually, if only in
the mind
The inventors of the radio may be
compensated far above profits re
received from their patents by the
knowledge that radio has proved to
be friend of humanity.

this tangle Strengthened. Fortunately,
nobody was hurt, but several hundred
people were seriously disconnected
through the delay.
This happening, which is likely to
be repeated at any time so long as the
one-man cars continue in use on the
local tracks. illustrates the serious ef-
feet of these public vehicles upon the
traffic situation in Washington. They
drag the road" They slow the traf-
fic on every street on which they OPP
crate The motorman cannot possibly
manage them as rapidly as can the
crew of a two-man car, with passen-
gers leaving at the front end and en-
tering at the rear.
Public protest has been made against
these cars ever since their introduce
ton in the city, but the Utilities Com
mission continues to approve them as
a measure of economy. They cost the
public in lost time far more than they
save in wages. They have become a
nuisance, and the sooner they are cut
out of the local traction system the
better for the car-riding public as well
as the motoring public.

New York Paris Flight Tragedy.

Tragedy has overtaken the ambi.
tious attempt of Capt. Rene Fonck
to make a nonstop flight from New
York to Paris at it's very start.
Following months of preparation, the
take-off was set for this morning.
With a load of $4,000 pounds, the
huge plane was pushed upon the run.
way and the aviators, with high hopes
of success, clambered into the in
closed cabin. Cheered by a crowd of
people, the ship gained momentum as
it rushed down the field. Suddenly
the spectators were shocked to see
the plane veer to one side and skid
along on the left wing. A moment
afterward the whole ship caught on
fire. Capt. Fonck and Lieut.. L. w.
Curtin, the navigator and co-pilot,
jumped and saved their lives, but
Charles Clavier, the radio operator,
and Jacob Islamoff, the mechanic,
were caught in the flaming mass. 1t
was at least an hour before the fire
could be eXtinguished and the remains
OF Clavier and 1slamoff removed from
the ship in which they hoped to win
glory and fame. Capt. Fonck and
Lieut.. Curtin escaped with slight burns
and We're broken hearted not only at
the loss of their comrades, but at the
total destruction of the transatlantic
plane, one of the finest ever built.
Thus ends what was to have been
an epic flight. Examination of the
wreckage has disclosed that one of
the wheels Of the auxiliary landirg 6
gear, which was to have been dropped
as soon as the plane got into the air,
collapsed under the tremendous weight
and threw the plane upon it's side
This gear had been attached at the
last minute to make sure that there
would be no difficulty in the take.off,
but, unfortunately, it had never been
thoroughly tested and was therefore
practically the only unknown part of
the ship.
Igor Sikorsky, designer and builder,
has announced that another plane
will be constructed to make the trip
and that the experience for which
such heavy price has been paid will
be used in the building of the landing
gear of the new ship. Work will be
started soon, he said, so that trans
atlantic flight can be attempted with
in the next year
Regardless Of plans for another at
tempt, this mornings tragedy will not
soon be forgotten. Two men have
paid with their lives, two others have
been injured and fine ship has been
destroyed. 1t would seem as if there
is still much to be learned and con-
quered If a ship as heavily laden as
the S.35 is successfully to take the
air. At siXty-five miles an hour, near
the end of the mile-long runway, she
was unable to rise and the wheel
buckled. This in itself is enough to
convince the layman that there was
too much weight in the big plane and
that future plans must provide with
either stronger gear or reduction Of
the load before a successful fight can
be accomplished.

The One Man Car Nuisance.

A one man car was stopped the other
afternoon in this city at an intersec-
ton to discharge and receive passen-

start his car until the last person
had entered and paid his fare. This
process required two minutes by &C.

line was bus. which, by a chance of

in both directions, as motor cars were

Traffic Director Upheld.

Authority Of the traffic director to
reyoke permits of motorists before
trial in cases Of mai or violations of
the traffic regulations has been up
held by the District Supreme Court.
This marks a long step forward in
good traffic administration in the Dis
trict OF Columbia and not only is the
court to be congratulated on the wis
dom Of its finding. but the trainers Of
the present law merit praise for the
enactment Of statute which will con-
tribute. more than any other one
thing, TO the saving of life and prop
erty on the streets OF the city.
From this decision it is evident that
no longer will drunken. reckless and
criminally inclined drivers be allowed
to menace lava biding traffic while
they by means of postponements and
legal subterfuges. evade trial for the
offense. Many cases have been filed
on the records showing that motor
lists have been arrested time and again
for fragrant violations of the regula-
tons. but are still operating their
cars because they have never been
tried. even for the first offense.
When a motorist is arrested for driv-
ing while drunk, leaving the scene of
a collision without making his iden-
tity known. or using a smoke screen,
his permit is Immediately revoked

done he may appeal TO the Commits.
sioners within ten days or he may APP
peal to the courts. or both. These ap-
peals were specified in the law SO
that every motorist would be treated
with justice.
Sympathy for these violators of the
law Is therefore entirely out Of place.
