THIS AND. THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

| The nasty actors" of humanity
have such a disagreeable way of inn
pressing themselves upon the mind
| that one has to he on constant guard
[ to prevent giving them more credence
than they deserve.
Cannot one person of quarrelsome
disposition spoil an entire day for
any number of people, unless the lat
ter are careful to actively combat the
| infection?
A child of what is commonly called
hateful disposition" can do more
to the temper of IA normally placid
child than d week of rainy days.
These truly disagreeable persons.
whether young or old, whether men
or women, whether first. second or
third class persons, possess in an emf
nently large degree the ability to
cause trouble.
Generally it will be found that the
disturbance they create is mostly due
to their desire to put something
over" on the rest Of humanity. They
usually want to get something for
nothing
Taking unfair advantages is one of
the best things they do. They have
a positive genius for it.

Not long ago the Department of
Agriculture gave away IA number Of
rosebushes. The disposition was made
at the greenhouse at Fourteenth and
B streets 1--WE believe that's the placel.
BY s am, there was long line, a
Calf hour later the number Of persons
had increased to several thousand,
men and women interested in the
queen of flowers. and each anxious to
get some of Uncle Sans fine speci-
mems,
Just how the word got around so
we'll that the Government was going
to give away the bushes is not known
for no publicity had been printed
upon the matter.
Such things do get around, how
ever as the line of people several
blocks long testified. The queue went
around a block, and doubled back on
itself-and here was the opportunity
for the nasty actors" as the slang
has it.
What better plan would present it.
self, to such person, than to leave
the line. cut across and butt in" at
some one who had been standing
there for hours?
This is a common phenomenon, of
course, best seen in theater lobbies
and at the ticket windows at cir
cuses. There is always some wight
that's what they used to call em)
who has no more manners or training
than to attempt to dart into the line
ahead of his turn
You will see the same thing at the
tax office, too. but there several vigi
liant officers in blue seem to possess
positive genius for firmly detaching
such cuckoos from their stolen places
and hustling them back into their
proper nests.
Now you would think. offhand, that
practically every one living under
civilization would appreciate. in the
year 1927, the necessity for every one
taking his turn.
But no. human nature is human
nature, and the unrepresSed child
grows into the man who wants what
he wants when he wants it. and usu-

A Transatlantic Failure.

a Transatlantic Failure.
Another Transatlantic flight has
gone awry. Somewhere on the turhu-
len, ocean that stretches between the
United States and France Capt.
Charles NunEcsser and Maj. Francois
Coll are floating helplesslr in their
frail craft without fuel and without
an adequate food supply. As time
passes. however, without 4 message of
r--cua it becomes increasingly doubt
.sll whether the plane is still on top
of the water. Bl.lt as land flying
machine. but with its body calked to
provide a slight buoyanCy should it
come down. the White Bird" was
estimated 70 he able TO stay atloat not
longer than twenty-four hours. II it
landed soon after leaving France the
twenty-four hour period has long since
passed and the beautiful biplane may
at this moment be resting. on the bot
tom of the ocean, perhaps entrapping
its flyers in a death grip.
There have been several instances
OF flyers rescued at sea, notably
Harry Hawker and Comdr. John
Rodgers, both Of whom later lost their
lives in air accidents, and Lieut..
Antonio Locatelli. OF these the
Hawker accident is the only one com
parable to the present situation of
Nungesser and Coli, as the others
flew planes equipped with pontoons.
Hawker, however, who made a bold
attempt with Comdr Mckenzie Grieve
to fly to England from the United
States, dropped his undercarriage as
soon as he got into the air. Nungesser
pursued the same tactics, SO that his
plight, in case he Is still afioat, is
identical to that of Hawker when he
came down eight hundred and fifty
miles off the coast of Ireland. 1t was
more than a week later that the world
learned that Hawker and his cont
panion had been rescued by a small
fishing craft so that hope may not be
abandoned for the White Bird and
its daring occupants until at least
that length of time has passed.
1t is tragic to contemplate failure
and possible death for these two
French war heroes. They had over
come one Of the danger factors Of a
transatlantic flight by getting their
heavily loaded plane into the air.
Months of preparation have resulted
in probably as nearly a perfect air
plane as human hands and brain
could devise. Nungesser was con-
ceded to be one of the best pilots in
the world. while Coli had made an
enviable reputation as navigator
Yet once again the hand of fate has
stayed the efforts of man. Fog, wind
and rain conspired to wreck the am
bilious thirty-seven-hu -hundred-mile ocean
flight of the single motored plane.
1t is too early to give up hope, but
there is no denying the serious poten-
tialities of this latest transatlantic
failure. Rescue ships are already on
their way to search for the lost air
men. And an interested and anxious
world awaits for the word that sue
cess attends the rescue even If sue
cess could not come to those who de-
fed the laws Of nature that aviation
might progress.
