An Unfortunate Accident.

An accident to Lieut.. AL Williams
high-speed racing plane threatens to
keep America out Of the forthcoming
Schneider Cup races to be held in Italy
in September. Although request
has already been forwarded asking
for a months postponement OF the
races, no assurance has yet been re-
ceived that the matter will be seri-
ously considered in Italian flying cir
cles Lieut.. Williams ship, built by
private capital and the sole hope of
the United States to regain the speed
crown, was damaged in a tuning up of
it's powerful motor. Spray from the
pontoons beat against and bent the
propeller. and 1t Is doubtful IL a new
one can be obtained, installed and
tested in time for participation in the
blue ribbon event Of aviation.
There is every hope that IL the Navy
flyer can get his machine into shape
he can bring back the coveted record,
and this optimism explains the con.
Germ that is nationally felt over the
accident. In the tiny racer is installed
the most powerful engine ever used
for this purpose. Twelve hundred
and fifty horsepower and twenty-four
cylinders are expected to drive the
frail craft at q speed In excess Of three

err" said on getting to his feet. II have
been asked to do my bit by singing
a song" And he sang. The result is
not published, but the inference is
that the banqueters stood for it. Ban
queters have learned to stand for a
good deal. 1t is said that songs may
replace speeches at banquets. There
might be some relief in that. even
though the singing Of an eminent
man be no moro entertaining than
his speaking. There has been i'm
provement in banquets in that tho
muzzle has been put on many speak
ers and that part Of the banquet
called "the feast Of reason" has been
given over to a jazz band and pro.
fessional comedians. But there are
still old.fashioned banquets where
those who would be merrymakers are
disturbed by speakers. It seems to
be a good idea that after-dinner
speakers should take singing lessons
and learn songs.

Williams does not know how the plane

it will respond promptly to the various

remain to be discovered in a ship that

to be 600 years old.
Q. What Is meant by saying that
a river has ages?-F. G..
A. A river has it's stages Of develop
ment; youth, maturity, and old age.
In it's earliest stages a river drains its
basin imperfectly; as valleys are deep
ened, the drainage improves, so that
in maturity the total drainage area is
large and the rate of erosion high.
Old age is reached when wide flats
have developed and the bordering
lands have been brought low.
@. Are there any Russian consuls
in the United States?-D. n. K.
A. There are consuls in Mobile,

Safety and Sanity.

Fireworks are often beautiful and
always interesting. But they are usu.
ally dangerous. This principle applied
to the Fourth Of July has saved many
lives. 1t should be remembered at
Geneva. II there Is to be final adj
journment Of the armament confer
ence within the next few days, the
less spectacular the better; the fewer
the fireworks the fewer the casualties.
The hazards involved in the failure of
Great Britain and the United States
to reach an agreement are already be-
coming too evident. Comment at
home and abroad is tinged with bitter
ness. No matter upon whom the
blame rests, both parties will suffer
loss OF prestige. for neither has been
able to do what each set out to do.
The one to receive the lions share OF
denunciation will depend upon the geo.
graphical point Of view. The tnevi-
table consequences of failure should
not be stressed by mastering for final
inspection and passing in review be-
fore the world the corps OF alibis re-
cruited by the opposing sides. II
there is to be a failure. let it be failure
marked by dignity and good sports
manship, bringing to an end a process
Of wrangling which already has grown
tedious.
From the reports Of the Geneva cor
respondents. the end Of the conference
is being delayed while Japan attempts
the difficult task of mediating the pal
pably irreconcilable views of Great
Britain and the United States. But
there seems little possibility of sue
cess in this direction. Geneva is a
long way from Capitol Hill. but what
is done in Geneva must find its way
back to Capitol Hill. The record of
the United States Senate bears force
full witness to the jealousy with which
that body regards the mediation or
arbitration Of disputes In.

@. Who wrote the negro spirit

A. These folk songs, said to be the
only real folk songs in America, grew
I'D in negro communities as express
sions of group experience and are the
results Of the negroes habit of put.
tnig into verse any experience that
impressed them. There are thou
sands of these songs which have never
been written. many OF rare beauty
which are known only locally. There
are evidences of African influence in
these songs. In all of them there Is
not one note Of bitterness.
o. How are trees classed in regard
to their ability to produce wood for
certain purposes?-C. 7.
A. The trees that will produce wood
for use as lumber in the shortest time
are white pine, red pine, ash and bass

The Districts Building Needs.


At an early meeting OF the Commits
sion Of Fine Arts, it is announced by
the chairman, consideration will be
given to a plan to locate all the Dis
trict government activities in build
ings north of Pennsylvania avenue be-
tween Third and Sixth streets. Such q
plan has been in process Of develop
ment since the Public Buildings Com
mission tentatively decided to make
provision elsewhere than in the Mall
Avenue triangle for the District serv-
ices that are not now housed in the
Municipal Building itself There is no
immediate proposal for the removal of
the administrative headquarters from
that building, which has for some
years been outgrown, with the result
Of the scattering Of various municipal
branches. A computation has been
made Of the Districts need in this re.
spect, showing that more than 5000
additional square feet are now re-
quired, and that by the end Of ten
years this need will reach 1O9, 800
square feet. Consequently it is expect
ed to provide in the new quarters on
Pennsylvania avenue for the necessi-
ties Of at least decade of growth.
It Is to be urged that in the prepare
ton Of plans for these various
branches Of the District government
ample provision will be made for de-
velopment. In view of the growth of
the District organization since the
Municipal Building was erected the
only safe course Is to preempt at the
outset an area sufficient to meet the
needs not merely Of ten years but Of
an indefinite period to come.
Location Of the District activities
In the area bounded by Pennsylvania
and Indiana avenues, Third and Sixth
streets, will effect a concentration Of
particular suitability. There will be
closer contact with the courts. The
section suggested is central. and its
improvement by the development
therein Of a group of public buildings
will be in effective relationship to the
Mall-Avenue triangle improvements
which are now in contemplation.
In this connection it may be sug-
gested that this area might well be
extended westward one block to in
clude all the property within the space
bounded by Pennsylvania, Louisiana
and Indiana avenues, with Third and
Seventh streets as the eastern and
western limits. AS long as 1t is pos.
sible, as it now appears to be. that the
District Building itself wilr eventually
pass into Federal rather than munich
pal uses, with the location OF the adj
/ ministrative offices in the group now
i being planned. this additional space
would afford room for expansion, and
would most effectively supplement the
: Federal changes south Of Pennsyl-
vania avenue. Washington will pos
sibly, by the time the new project is
under way, be a city Of a million IN
habitants, and it should have civic
center commensurate with that popu
lation.
