Fonck Tests Overseas Plane.

High hopes of a successful nom
stop New York to- Paris flight are
held by Capt. Rene Fonck, French war
ace, who tried out for the first time
recently the giant Sikorsky plane in
which he and his two American
aides will attempt the history max
ing trip. Capt. Fonck with Lieut..
Snoddy of the Navy and Capt. Berry
Of the Army, has been waiting i'm.
patiently for the trial fight Of the
big air liner and now that it has
been held he and his companions are
jubilant over their prospects of max
ing the thirty-six-hour voyage with
no mishaps.
The big three motored Sikorsky
ship performed admirably. 1t took
the air in thirteen seconds and re-
sponded easily and sensitively to the
controls. 1t is capable of remaining
aloft on only one of it's three motors
and in that fact the aviators believe
that the success and safety of the
trip depend.
Other tests will be given before
the plane. which is declared to be
a marvel of ingenious construction,
is given its final approval. Then,
with weather conditions favorable In
the early part of September, the
world will breathlessly await news
of the intrepid flyers as they wing
their way across the Atlantic to the
French capital.

Thirty Miles an Hour.

Recommendations for thirry.mile
speed limit on sections of thirteen
streets in the outlying districts have
been made TO the Commissioners by
the traffic Office in line with the policy
to complete at the first possible
moment the boulevard and arterta]
highway system in Washington. At
a meeting of the Board of Commits.
sioners on Monday decision was re-
served until the traffic council could
take action on this and other traffic
matters.
1t has been nearly two years since
Congress passed the original traffic
code providing for boulevard stop
streets and arterial highways Work
on the system was started at once,
but has not been completed owing to
lack of funds and delay in securing
the proper equipment. stop" signs
painted on the street were found to
be inadequate as warnings and easily
erased by the friction of wheels. No

buy curb signs and the plan was held
temporarily in allegiance.
Curb signals have now been con-
structed in sufficient quantities to
mark every intersection of a boule-
ward street. They are now awaiting
installation by the police department,
and it is on their erection that the
traffic Office bases its recommendation
for higher speeds on certain streets
where dwellings are few and inter
sections are amply protected
No further delay should be en-
countered in pushing the system to
completion. Thirty miles an hour is
safe on the majority Of these streets
even now. II will be doubly safe

Vets Are Singing in
DiscOrd. Not Harmon,

TO the Editor Of The Star
GOne kind friend Of the vets should
write some words and music for them,
so that they might avoid the laugh
able discOrds that they make in their
arguments against prohibition.
Ono arises and sings out Justify,
'"There Is more liquor drunk now than
ever before" at the very time that
another is trilling. unable to get
liquor, the people are turning to
drugs"
One asserts that 1.-The officers are not
even trying to enforce the law" while
another complains that life is made
undesirable by the scores Of officers
one meets at every turn, who are
hampering business and invading the
home to smell out law violators"
Just as ono wet brother scores the
point that thousands of people are
leaving the country because they can
not get drink, another pounds home
the assertion that, whereas before pro-
hibition one had to go to the saloon to
get g. drink. now there is a stable
flock Of bootleggers waiting on every
street corner to accommodate any who
feel the effects Of the drought.
Recently a wet writer bewailed the
condition CD that laboring men had
been thrown out of work ny prohibit
ton. and then. in the same paragraph,
most emphatically declared that there
was no prohibition. Otherwise stated.
There was no wind, and 1t blew a
huge stone up out of a deep we'll and
balanced it on the church steeple."
These amusing contradictions are
the more laughable because the vets
seem utterly to fail to see their rich
humor.

Better Homes Needed
For Alley Dwellers

To the Editor of The Star:
The good Intentions of the unknown
phiianthropfSt who proposes to erect
apartments to be rented or sold at
cost to Government employees are be-
yond Question, but it remains to be
seen whether a considerable proper
ton Of them wish to avail themselves
Of the proffered opportunity. I, for
one, feel that paternalism is some
what misplaced when extended to the
employees of the United States Gov
eminent. The salaries paid Govern
ment clerks are not lower. on the
average, than those paid for similar
work outside the Government service,
with the exception of the higher
grade positions and the unclassified
labor at the other end Of the scale.
1t is assumed that the proposed
apartments are not designed for the
representatives of either of these
classes.
1t seems unfortunate that the more
appropriate field for practical charity
represented by Washington's chronic
alley problem should be overlooked.
The fact that some thousand unfor-
tunates still live in the alleys which
Congress years ago declared were to
he closed is a disgrace to the city
The date for closing the alleys has
been moved forward until it has be-
come farce, and the alleys are no
nearer closing than ever. 1t is i'm
possible to put the law into effect so
long as the alley dwellers have no
place to go: there are not enough
houses to be had at any price, and
those available are generally far be.
yond their means.
If up-to-date apartments can be
erected to rent at a cost of $3.50 per
room. why could not plain, decent
dwellings, be put up to rent at a price
within the reach of the poor. If the
owners OF some of the wretched alley
shacks have found their investment
lucrative, surely kublic-spirited
philanthropist willing to forego profit
could provide decent living quarters
for these unfortunate citizens with
out too great loss to himself. Let
the greater need be met first!
