Seaplane Airway.

A seaplane airway between Wash
ington and Norfolk is being laid out,
and it Is said that this is the first
course to be permanently marked.
Lighthouses on the Potomac River
and on Chesapeake Bay are to serve
as the guideposts for ayiators. After
conferences between officials of the
Lighthouse Service and the Hydro
graphic ONCE Of the Navy Depart.
ment, It has been arranged to try the
experiment of painting the roofs Of
lighthouses with signs in order that
air travellers may read the location Of
their planes. The lighthouses have
been designated and signs are being
painted. These aviators' signposts in
the Potomac River are the lighthouses
of Upper Cedar Point, Matthias Point

A Valuable Service Closed.

RESIGNATION Of Mrs. Cecil Norton
Broy as director of the community
center department of the public
schools of Washington has been &C.
cepted by the Board of Education
with regret which is shared by all the
District. Mrs. Broy, who has been in
the school service for twenty-five
years, was one of the leaders in the
building up of the system of school
extension work, which has brought
the adult members of the community
into close contact with and support
Of the schools, and has given it the
use Of the school plant. It was large.
ly through her endeavors, persistently
maintained in the face Of many diff.
culties, that legislative recognition
was given to this work. She built up
an organization of exceptional eff.
cheney and, as Superintendent Ballou
said in his letter to the board on the
subject. she has made "a real contri-
button to the school system and to
this CITY," Washington will be in.
deed fortunate If Mrs. Broy's success.
sor In the community center direction
meets as fully the requirements Of
that important and difficult assign.
ment as she has done throughout the
period of this valuable service.

The Building Program.

The sum of $5,S25 900 is carried in
the second deficiency appropriation

sentatives as the first appropriation
for entering on the Government build
ing program in this city. That pro-
gram. authorized by Congress, calls
for expending $4,000. 900 for construc.
ton of Government buildings here in
Ave years.
There has been speedy action on
preliminaries Of the program, and the
Public Buildings Commission has ten.
tatively decided on the order in which
the structures are to be erected and
on the cost of each. The bill before
the House contains the amount which
the appropriations committee con.
sidered proper for beginning the work
Of construction and for carrying it
on through the next fiscal year. 1t
may be that the figure will be revised
before the bill goes to the President.
but there seems to be no doubt that
a substantial appropriation will be
made at this session for beginning
work on the Archives, Internal Rev.

Four full days ahead Of the record
set by John Henry Mears in his dash
around the world, Edward S. Evans
and Linton Wells have boarded the
trans-siberian express at Omsk for
Chita and are looking forward to a
few days sleep on the twenty-five
hundred mile trip. They have been
literally on the jump since they hur-
riedly quilted the Aquitania when she
reached Cherbourg-to Paris by fast
automobile, to Berlin and Moscow by
plane, and to Omsk from Moscow, a
trip Of fifteen hundred miles. in the
fastest plane Of the Soviet govern
ment, piloted by a youthful ace.
Evans and Wells have now complet-
ed what is probably the most danger
Gus part Of their trip. The fight over
the Ural Mountains into Asia was one
of the crises in their fast schedule.
When they arrive in Chita, provided
everything goes well, they will still
maintain their advantage of four days
over the present titleholder, inasmuch
as he used the same train when he
created the record Of approximately
thirty.five days for the globe-circling
trip.
They have been offered every CO.
operation by the governments Of the
various countries through which they
have passed. The Soviet, in anxiety
to show them favors, appropriated
five hours Of their precious sleeping
time in Moscow and gave them a huge
banquet. Consequently since last
Tuesday they have had only a few
hours rest. The train ride to Chita,
therefore, will be in the nature of
relaxation for the tired travellers and
will enable them to build up a reserve
store of energy for the fast schedule
still to be completed before they again
set foot in New York City, their start.

Announcement made by President
Ralph Budd that the Great Northern

of New York City, and will establish
in it at once a tourist information

a complete exposition of the natural
resources and scenic attractions OF
the entire Northwest, is good news
for Seattle and the State of Wash

AS Mr. Budd says. it was found
rather difficult to bring all the East
out to see the great Northwest, so
the Great Northern. following the
example of Mahomet. who went to
the mountain when the mountain
refused to come to him, resolved to
take the Northwest to the East. That
is the purpose of the proposed travel
bureau and Northwest exposition
and 1t seems highly commendable.
Chambers of commerce and com
merciai clubs through the Great
Northern's territory will be invited
to contribute exhibits for the expo.
sition. and Mr.. Budd expresses the
belief that 1t will give the North.

have ever received in the East
In conjunction with the other hill
roads, the Great Northern has spent
many hundreds Of thousands of
dollars in the last few years in ad.
vertising the Pacific Northwest In
newspapers and magazines. The
New York exposition should do
effective follow-up work.

Rain in the garden has beaut,
it ordinarily does not possess in any
other place.
1t is true that sheets of rain on a
tossing sea, the nor'wester whipping
1t into the shore. have a wild quality
which appeals to the manly heart.
Rain in a forest, pattering down
through the millions of leaves, sinking
into the moss, calls to campers with
its sylvan charm.
Even harsh city streets take or
some aspects of beauty when the
sudden shower sends daintily clad
maidens scurrying along for fear they
will get their. large hats wet.
But rain has a beauty all its own
in the garden. Perhaps some of the
charm comes from the knowledge OF
the onlooker, that the water is good
for the flowers, the vegetables, the
lawn.
No amount of sprinkling with q
hose can equal good doWnpour from
the skies. Descending upon earth
from great heights. the rain beats its
way into the soil. especially dirt that
has been constantly stirred by the
careful gardener.
1t forces its way down to the roots
of plants in such soil, whereas in
borders never touched by hoe the
drops run off to one side along the
baked ground, and spend their pre-
cious substance on concrete.

the rich and poor alike.
What would the stately trees which
line the streets of Washington do
without the periodical rains which
sweep away the accumulated dust
and smoke?
What would our park systems do
without the rain?
Rain in the Summer also generally
brings about a marked cooling Of the
air, freshening 1t and thereby closing
the relaxed capillaries Of human
beings.
On every count we who live in

The POliceman's Widow,
From the Harrisburg Telegraph.

Mrs Edward Couch, widow of a
Pittsburgh policeman, slain by Joseph
Valotta, testified before the State Par
don Board here recently that while
rich and influential people had inter-
ested themselves in the release of
Valotta. and had provided relief for
the family of the murderer, nobody
had ever approached her or her five
children except to ask that she sign
a plea for Valottas pardon.
why should not Valotta be pun
father of my five children. Wealthy
and influential men and women have
done much for the wife and children
Of the murderer. All they have done
for me, who lost a husband in the
line of his duty protecting the public.
was to ask me to be merciful because
he has four children. l have five and
nobody has been merciful to me, al
though my husband died for the safe
ty of the people he served"
That is a scathing indictment. AS
the late Judge Kunkel once observed,
IF you want to gain a lot of SYM
pathy from people who otherwise
would not care if you starved to death,
go out and brutality kill somebody"
There are too many cases like that
before the Pardon Board. If the pub
lie owes a debt to any woman it Is to
the widow of a police officer slain in
the performance of his duty. If more
attention were paid to procuring a
decent livelihood for Mrs. Couch, and
less interest displayed in pardon for
Valotta, fewer policemen would be
killed, and more of them would be en-.
couraged to go the full limit in the
protection of the public.
