at the last moment, when the des-

the same horror as you express, but
though there's evidently good deal
of wrong in it all, it's hard to know
what is right. You say you can't

of drawing the knife across the
throat of the poor sheep. Our re-

don't you think?''
"I see your argument" said Her
mione, "you want me to say that the
sacrifices aren't bloody, and then
you'll say that Pyrrhus acted from
a religious motive, and therefore he
isn't brutal
well, I really think our affairs are
barbarous-we should have out

outgrown human sacrifices.
MANY people feel that way,
said Helen, "but if we kill the sheep
for food, you have no prejudice
against eating them, I know"
How foolish, mother! OF course
we eat meat. Why shouldn't we?'

ment against it" said Helen, "but

happiness in guiding you to a real
life.
IF you had my passion for liv-
ing, all the greater because it has
been thwarted, you'd take Pyrrhus,
reckless and brutal as he seems, in
stead of that cautious and safe
cousin of yours"
"You would, but I wouldn't, and
I won't" said Hermione. 1T isn't
simply the killing. He has taken
women home as slaves, and he has
the old-fashioned idea of a hero's
rights over the women he captures.
They say Agamemnon brought
Cassandra home, and you told me
yourself you feared Clytemnestra
would be jealous.
"Of course, she would, though I'm
sure Cassandra means nothing to
my uncle. Orestes is sure she
doesn't. But Pyrrhus is living with
Andromache, Hectors widow, and
probably with the other women he
acquired at Troy.
That's the kind of hero he is.
and I say he's a brute and out Of
date. I fancy most people of our
age feel the same way. didn't
realize how Anticipated some of your
MOTORS are, mother, nor how con-

Pyrrhus on me. I can just fancy
myself as further addition to his

partly right. The part you don't
see, however, is the essence of the
matter, You'd like to have your
man all to yourself.
$50 would any woman who Is in
love-and men feel the same way
about women. Love is very proprie-
tary. But you go step further, as
I've noticed in others of your gene
ration, and you want your man
never to have cared for any one
else. I dare say Orestes wouldn't
feel sure of a wife who had pre-
viously lost her heart to another
man."
Nov, that's all nonsense. If the
world is to act on the philosophy,
there's misery in store for lovers

These colleges were created by

in 1862, granting to each State GER

to endow, support and maintain in

Toward the further support Of
these "land-grant colleges" the Fed

each State annually $4,000, and.

]. c. c. Fails to Grant Order
for Purchase of Pere
Marquette Stock.

Possibility of emergency action by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to further one phase of the Chesa-
peake & Ohio merger project was
terminated yesterday when the COM
mission failed to issue any order
touching the purchase of Pere Mar
Quette stock.
The Chesapeake & Ohio, which
is seeking the commissions permits
sion to buy control of the Pere Mar
quette and Erie systems, holds, as one
part of the transaction, an option to
purchase approximately $4,000 of Pere
Marquette common stock from the
Nickel Plate Railroad at $110 a share,
but the option expired yesterday and
the Nickel Plate Co, has refused
to extend it.
When hearings were concluded 10
days ago on the merger project Ches-
apeake G. Ohio attorneys asked the
commission to take the unusual step
of approving the purchase of the Pere
Marquette stock in advance of it's de-
cision on the entire proposal. and be.
fore the expiration date of the option.
They were warned at the time that it
would be hardly possible for the COM
mission to take such action. and their
request was opposed by minority
stockholders of the Chesapeake &
Ohio Co. who are also opposing the
merger.
The commission in a brief statement
given out late yesterday said counsel
for the Chesapeake & Ohio had been
advised that the commission did not
find it possible to take any official ac-
ton on any part of the pending appli-
cation prior to the expiration of the
option" The price placed upon Pere
Marquette stock by the option is con-
siderably below the prevailing mar
ket price.

APPEAL FOR REVIEW
OF AWARD TO BOYD
District Seeks Reopening of $500
Grant to Police
man.

Review Of a judgment of the Munic-
ipal Court for a little more than $500.
in favor Of Policeman John Boyd of
the second police precinct, being extra
compensation for service at detective
headquarters, Is sought in the Court
of Appeals in petition filed on behalf
of the District of Columbia by f. Fl.
Stephens and Alexander H. Bell, jr.,
assistant corporation counsels. Unless
the higher court allows the writ of
error, it was pointed out. the Com
miSSioners will have to abandon the
practice Of assigning men to head
quarters for temporary duty for
training.
The District government was sued
by Boyd under a law which became
effective July /, 1924. providing.
among other things. that members of
the police force detailed to detective
headquarters in the prevention and
detection of crime shall receive extra
compensation at the rate of $500 per
annum. The policeman was trans
ferred from the eighth precinct to
detective headquarters on June 16,
1922, and remained there until May B,
1925, when he was sent to the second
precinct. He stated that while at

The Commissioners urged in their

set forth are of great importance in
the administration Of the police ar

cause now stands. the judgment of the
Municipal Court If this petition Is
denied will cause the abandonment
of practice and custom that has long

AIR POWER VITAL In WAR
Part One. =

of civil and commercial aviation, pas
sage of laws regulating flight and the
licensing of pilots and inspection OF
planes.
The separate Air Corps in the Army
is now a reality, and under the five
year building programs, assistant sec
retarieS of air have been added both
to the Army and Navy Departments.
The Department of Commerce also
under the air commerce act of 1926
has been given an assistant secretary
in charge of aviation, and commercial
aviation in the United States is under
way. The coordination of all air &C
tivities under one department would
still be productive of more far-reach-
ing results than those yet achieved,
and perhaps this objective will be
reached in the immediate future.
Unified Air Service.
Unless one has given special atten-
ton to this subject one will naturally
inquire what do the words unified air
service" mean, and what do its ex-
ponents desire? The case may be
briefly stated as follows:
First. We must follow the example
of other countries and prepare our
first line of defense in the air.
Second. The air service must have
it's own organization and not be sub
ordinate in control to either the Army
or the Navy, because it is essentially
different from either of these two
services The airplane is not auxiliary
to an Army which will not entrench in
the next war, or to Navy which will
not go to sea.
Third. The tendency today with ma
tons is to demobilize their armies,
scrap their useless, creeping dread
naughts, and turn to the lighter and
more mobile forces of the air.
Fourth. We must either build up a
great air force Immediately, or the
moral force of the Nation must be
used to bring about further limita-
ton Of ornaments. the adoption of
rigid rules of warfare; otherwise civil
iZation will hang in the balance.
Fifth. The next war will come in
the air, and without a protecting air
force, we, as a nation, will be wiped
out.
The next question naturally arises,
what is an adequate protecting air
force. Gen. Mitchell has answered this
question, and has given us a splendid
constructive program, which would
comprize 2,400 planes, two-thirds pur-
suit planes, one-third bombardment,
with a similar force in reserve. OF
this number, one brigade of 600 planes
would be based in the East; another
brigade of 600 planes on the Pacific
Coast, and one air division of 1900
planes would be for use wherever
needed in this country, or in outlying
possessions.
