HEROES ALL

An almost unprecedented succession of gales
which recently swept the northern and western At
lantic developed a new and lengthy list of sailor
heroes.
Stories of daring rescues under the most trying
conditions have filled the columns of the daily press
demonstrating that the chivalry of the still lives
with undimnished vigor in the breasts of present
day seamen. -
a total of 81 lives were lost when than
of vessels, of large size, were sunk
disabled and tossed helplessly at the mercy of the
for days end while other staunch craft
batted to tow them to port rescue their crews,
circumstances required
Outstanding among these deeds of supreme hero
ism the of the of the British freight
er Antinoe by the United States liner President
Roosevelt after lfeboats had been repeatedly smash
ed and two lives lost. The last of the of %
finally brought to safety in the sixth life
boat launched from the Roosevelt.
Throughout all the trying ordeals which beset
these of the sea, single instance of finch
ing from stern duty recorded, while examples of
superb courage everywhere in evidence. Living
dead, they have proved themselves heroes all.

AIRCRAFT AND PEACE

In view Of the forthcoming conference at
Geneva for further disarmament it is naturally the
hope and desire of all well disposed people that
of may attend these efforts.
The disarmament conference called by President
Harding in 1921, had an excellent moral effect but
it only made very imperfect beginning in the d.
recton of permanent peace, it did not limit the
use of submarines or other naval vessels except capt.
tai ships, neither did it restrict the size of armies
In any consideration of disarmament the SUBJ
ject of aircraft must ultimately hold an important
place. Yet aircraft is an agency of peace well
war.
Suppose that armies and warshps reduced
to an absolute minimum. Then the nation possessing
the largest number of aircraft would have the ad-
vantage in the event of war, for aircraft built for
commercial purposes be used engines of de-
struct.on upon short notice. by equippng them with
machine guns and bombs.
Can the building of aircraft be restricted? With
the present dream of airways encrcling the globe,
with afrplanes ana siriiHfes crossing the
ress of aviation be halted? Who shall say how many
arpanes the United States may for transporting
freight and passengers? Who shall like limit
fcr other nations, to which they will agree?
This is only one Of the tremendous problems
which the Geneva conference must face. The most
the nations at last willing to discuss these prob
'ems in a friendly manner, in effort to preserve
the peace of the world.

The Rev. DIR. James Empringham,
who has become the storm center of
the ''wet" and dry" controversy by
putting the Church Temperance So
ciety of the Protestant Episcopal
Church on record against absolute
prohibition, has been the general Sec
rotary of that society Tor the past
ten years. Previously he had served
as metropolitan district superinten-
dent of the Anti-Saloon League of
New York. When, in 1916, he was
invited by the temperance society
to become its secretary, he accepted
on the express condition that he was
to execute policy of hearty CO.
operation with the Anti-Saloon
League in its effort to rid the State
and the Nation of saloons. This
pledge the church had gwen a short
ssirsr reforepy resofurfons aduptcd -at
its general convention, the same
marking an epoch in the history of
the temperance movement in a
church always regarded as conserva-
tive and dis:nclined to take radical
positions with respect to temperance
policies.

HERE'S A RECORD

There is remarkable firm of general merchants
in the little town of Clear Lake s. D.. which probably
holds the worlds record for consistent and adequate
advertising in a community of that size.
English Towers have carried full-page ad-
vertisement in the Clear Lake Courier every week,
without a miss. for twenty years: They have
traeted for similar space for each week of 1926.
Yet Clear Lake is town of only s35 popua-
ton, in a County with but $3.50 people, with two
newspapers. The extent of the firms advertising
with the other newspaper not stated in the
# information, but it is reasonable suppose
that il considerable.
From their extensive and persistent advertising,
English Towers appear to be pretty thoroughly sold
the proposition. As the Courier says: They
have proven to their satisfaction that large space in
the newspaper regularly brings correspondngly- big
results"

GRANT TRACES GROWTH
OF CITY FROM L'ENFANT
Outlines Development Under Plan
in Address to Luncheon of
knights of Ya Round Table.


An outline of the development of
the National Capital was given by
Mai. u. s. Grant. Sd, director of pub
lie buildings and parks, at the weekly
luncheon yesterday of the Loyal
knights of We Round Table, at the
University Club. DR.. Everett NJ. Ely
son presided at the meeting. j. C..
Smith of the Internal Revenue Blu
reau and Z. F. Haycraft of the Fed
eral Trade Commission were among
the guests.
The speaker described Washington
as the only city in the world with q
definitely drawn-up plan, illustrating
his lectures with lantern slides de-
plotting the growth of the city.
He recalled how East and West
Potomac Parks were non-eXtiant
when Ellicott took over the reins from
Maj. L'Enfant, and that the suburban
areas of the District were developed
at the time of the Civil War without
any preconceived plans. He told how
former Mayor Shepherd. during the
seventies. paved the streets, develop
ed the lighting and sewage system
and planted thousands of trees. and
said the resulting fiscal deficiencies
caused the replacement of the former
government of the District with the
commission.
Mai. Grant stated that L'Enfant did
not copy his plans from those of
modern Paris, but possibly from a
plan of louis XIV for Versailles. Be-
tween the Shepherd regime and the
Macmillan bill of 1901 he said that
only unitarian work was accom-
plished in the way of city planning.

mits issued, gained 81 300 900 and led
