STRENGTHEN the Safeguards!

! The Board of Trade committee on
fpublic order urges the enactment OF
a statute for the District of Columbia
similar to the so-oalled Baumes law
| of New York as a means of lessenlng
crime in this jurisdiction. 1t also rec
ommends an increase in the detective
force of the District. A proposed meas
ure to define and punish vagrancy has
been withheld for redrafting in order,
| as the chief of police expresses 1t, to
nut "teeth" into it. The strengthened
measure will probably receive the ap-
proval of the committee in season Tor

success. It's application to Washing

tprevail here, which are similar to
those in New York which led to the

District. But the comparatively small
area of this jurisdiction permits the
easy inflow of crooks and cracksmen,

The True Spirit of Adventure.

Lest the world be convinced that
tho mad scramble for fame and for
tune. particularly fortune, in mean
ingless exploits during the past two
years has sounded the death knell of
real adventure for adventures sake,
consider for n moment the Dyott ex-
pedition to the Brazilian jungles in
an effort TO rescue a British explorer,
Col. =. II. Fawcett. who three years
ago set out in search of the ruins of
lost civilization and has not been heard
from since May, 1925. Last Sunday
Comdr George NJ. Dyott, organizer of
tho rescue party, announced publicly
that he wanted a fourth man for his
expedition. lie described the duties of
whoever should volunteer to accom-
pany him and pointed out that the de-
sired type of man would not balk at
hard labor in the sitting tropical
wilderness, the dangers of hostile In
dians, of wild animals, of tropical
fever. He offered a merely nominal
recompense to the man Ito whom
money, the comforts of life and life
itself mean very little" Comdr. Dyott
was not very optimistic that he could
fill the position, but he hoped for the
best. Almost Immediately, however,
there came indisputable proof that the
spirit of adventure still lives. Up to
last Wednesday night more than fif.
teen thousand persons had volunteered
to accompany the explorer into the
jungles.
The applications came by cable, tele.
graph, air mail and by special de-
livery. They came from every State
and parts of Canada and from several
European countries. High school stu
dents, established professional men
and those in the highest and lowest
walks of life rushed to volunteer. In
spite of this unexpected avalanche,
Comdr. Dyott intends to pick his man
carefully. He will read every applica.
tion and will select the person best
qualified to fill the vacant place in the
eApeulllOH.
The remarkable part of the public
response to the invitation to undergo
a hardship, to endure at times priva
ton and to be faced with dangers on
all sides is the fact that practically no
publicity, fame or fortune will come
to the successful applicant. To a
great majority of the public. busy with
it's own interests, the thought of pene
trating Brazilian jungles to search
for lost civilization, or even lost men,
is not particularly romantic. But to
those who love adventure-and from
Comdr. Dyott's experience, there are
at least fifteen thousand ready to step
out at a moments notice-the prospect
Of being included in the party, which
will take it's life in it's hands, spells

the spirit of adventure still lives. 1t
has not been lost in the fast pace
that has been set by present-day

Insure Against Storm!

Thursdays storm visitation has
caused Washington householders and
merchants to realize that the ordinary
forms of insurance which they carry"
on their properties do not serve to
protect them in case of damage or loss
by a storm. While probably all of
the properties injured in the cyclone
of day before yesterday were more
or less covered against injury by fire,
it is to be questioned whether many
If any of them were insured against
the devastation caused by winds and
rain. AS a result of this discovery
and of the proof that Washington Is
not immune to cyclonic storms, there
is a general arousal of interest in the
particular form of insurance which
protects against loss of this nature.
In the Middle Western part of the
country, where tornadoes are compara-
lively frequent and violent. this form
of insurance is carried by most peo-
pie. The rates there are higher than
in the sections where violent, twisting
winds and heavy downpours of rain
are uncommon. Insurance rates are
determined by the percentage Of risk.
A dwelling of brick is rated as bet
ter risk than a building of wooden con-
struction. Buildings in section sub
ject to be swept by violent storms are
poorer risks than those in a more pro-
tected area. Thus the tornado rates
in this part of the country are low as
compared with those in the States
west of the Mississippi.
While the law of chances may seem
to indicate that this recent experience
is not likely to be repeated soon, it is
not safe to rely upon such a security.
The old adage Lightning never strikes
twice in the same place. is as fact
not true. Nor is it true that because
of a cyclone here on Thursday Wash
ington is probably safe from another
such experience for some years to
come. There is nothing certain in ma
ture. Another tornado may occur
within a few weeks or few months.
The chances, of course, are that 1t will
not inasmuch as this city is not in the
area of frequent tornado formations.
But the simplest business precaution
suggests that all householders should
at once have clauses written into their
policies covering losses by wind or
rain and pay the slight additional
charges for the protection. Had the
insurance policies held by the owners
of the buildings damaged by Thurs
days storm all held such clauses
there would today be no occasion for
financial distress in the area OF the
great blast.

Recently we heard two youn men
in a public vehicle discussin the
characteristics which real yirr'
should possess.
Now there is a disposition on he
part of many people to believe at
no young man or woman of todayA n
think seriously about anything. q 1
1t may come somewhat as 81
prise, therefore, for them to kno
that the following mental characterL
tics were held necessary for a "rea

/. Discrimination.
2. Appreciation.
3. Sweetness.
a. Sympathy.
5. Understanding.
6. Ability.
They were not set down in such
ledger book style. of course. nor were
they always stated in such a brief
way, but we, who have a bent for
order in ideas, managed to jot them
down so, and therefore serve them up
here as the notebook carries them.
1t was and is noticeable that the
physical characteristics of the real
girl were rather taken for granted
as being the heritage of every Ameri-
can girl who lives right.
The serious consideration was given
to those traits, the result of right
thinking, breeding and training, which
we have attempted to sum up as
mental. AS a matter of fact, they are
as much of the soul as of the mind
and have many reactions upon the
physical.
A real girl" even as younger men
see her, is something distinctly more
than pretty somebody to be "toted"
to dance or taken for a ride in the
rumble seat.
She is a personality, and, as such,
must have something more than a
face and a pair of silk stockings. She
must have character.
The young lady under discussion
must have, IN the first place, a well
developed sense of discrimination.
1t was the unanimous sense of the
young gentleman that a girl who did
not possess the ordinary horse sense
to pick and choose her male compan-
ions could not possibly be entitled to
the good title of real"

things, notably discrimination.
A girl too free with her smiles, for
instance, who did not seem to have
enough brains to prefer accredited in
telligence, was held up to proper
scorn. She held herself too cheaply.
and therefore would not do for a man
who held himself highly.
Lacking discrimination. it would
follow as the night the day that she
could not appreciate any of the finer
qualities Of either men or women, or
of business or artistic ventures.
The fact that many fine-looking
women are seen to be married to
"roughnecks" was not lost for a Sec
ond upon these two dapper but intel
ligent young fellows. They realized
that any man worth while has a we'll
developed ego. and that woman can
make no greater mistake than to rate
all men alike in her own mind. "All
men are born free and equal" was
only a theoretical statement, a pleas

The Fargo Forum remarks that
the German press, for some reason,
has seen fit to attack Mr.. Gilbert"
and has called him a "coldly caIcu.
lating financier," and that paper as.
sumes that "Mr. Gilbert has a great
duty to the allies as well as to Ger

let those criticisms affect or influence
him." The Springfield Republican
hopes that no dispute will now arise

away from a bitter distrust which
will break forth in threats of war is
worrying European statesmen who
turn in the direction Of America for
leadership"
The Detroit Free Press feels that
"Of late, and in most cases without
very good ground, misgivings about
the future Of the Dawes plan have
been cropping up. The prophets of
doom point, on the one hand, to Ger

the economy requirements long urged
by S. Parker Gilbert as one of the
main conditions of further successful
functioning of the plan; on the other.
to the approach of the first year of
maximum payments to be made by
Germany, with no source in sight for

money can be taken" The Free
Press believes that this may be the

defense of the plan"
