hUNGESSER PLANE
SLIGHTLY BURNED
Wings Are Damaged as Gas
oIine IgniteS in Hangar.
No Delay Expected.
n the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
PARIS, May Capt. Charles Nun
gesser's airplane, in which the noted
French ace intends to fly from Paris
TO New York, was slightly burned by
a gasoline fire early this morning Ii
is stated that the plane can be re-
paired in a day or two.
Fabric on the underside of the wings
must be replaced. but otherwise the
machine suffered no damage. The nre
started at about 3 am. in the shed
at Villacoublay. where the Nungesser
plane is housed. 1t is thought an cleo
trio lamp ignited the gasoline, when
was in tins under the wings
WOrlxmen Extinguish Blaze.
Vorkmen hauled the airplane out OF
the shed and eXtinguished the hre.
Capt. Nungesser was not present put
the builder of the plane. M. LeVasseur,
was quickly on the scene.
After an inspection, he said he was
thoroughly satisfied that the flight
would not be delayed. He was certain
nothing had been damaged except the
canvas, as the wings are OF metal
framework. :,
Everything is ready on this side OF
the Atlantic for the Beuanca mono
plane, which is being tuned up at
Long Island, n. Y, for transatlantic
flight to Paris.
All FOrmalities Waived.
American naval and military at
taches have completed all preparations
for receiving the American flyers
Clarence Chamberlain and Lloyd w.
Bertaud. In these preparations they
had the heartiest cooperation of
the French authorities, all formalities
being unhesitatingly waived.
AS 1t is probable the plane will
arrive at night. the airtields at Cher
bourg and between Calais and
lie Bourget will be lighted, as well
as the Paris-London airway and the
giant beacon on Mont Valerien, just
south of Paris. This light, visible for
I25 miles, will be valuable in guiding
the flyers to the goal.
At LIE Bourget Airdrome the ground
will be kept flooded with light. The
police are making arrangements to-
handle the crowds of welcomers.

TIMELY EXODUS

New York Ilmes)
To the many specuiaticn5 about President Cool
idge's reasons for desiring to retire, Z novel one is
added By Professor William B. Munro in the Harvard
Graduates Magazine. His theory may be inferred
from the fetching title OF his article, The Art Of
Timely Excdcs." Il il a wise statesman who knows
when to quit. Professor Munro's view Is that Mr..
Coolidge has not consulted his personal wishes, bu.
has shown great political sagacity, in deciding against
four years more in the Presidency. For six years he
will have perfectly matched his temper 70 that Of the
country. The public man fitted the public demand.
It was a period when the greatest need WIS to take
the heavy hand Of the Government off private enter
prise; to be prudent and ecoacmical; to MAKE politics
routine instead OF one long excitement; and to have
an Administration which could be counted upon not to
wake the country up every Monday morning with
something startling. Mr.. Coolidge has completely
filled the bill for this kind Of president. But there
is no certainty that another kind will not be required
after 1929. and Professor Munro thinks that political
leadership Of a type different from his owne in some
thing that the President would not desire or be able to
furnish. Hence he wisely forestalls any possibility
that the country would call upon him TO exhibit it.
A mistake which many have made, according to
Professor Munro, is in trying to judge Mr.. Coolidge
BY the standards OF other Presidents. He Is not or the
aggressive, reforming sort. "A reformer is never ready
to go out of office, for he never conceives his Job
to be done" Making the comparison personal, Pro-
fessor Munro writes:
president Cleveland undertook to reform the
Democratic party; President Roosevelt regarded it as
his mission to reform the whole country; while Presi-
dent Wilson felt it his solemn duty to reform the
politics and policies of the world. President Coolidge,
by way Of contrast with all three. has not felt him
self called upon to reform anybody or anything"
On the supposition that the President believed
his chief work to be TO restore the country to normal
conditions after a great war, he may fairly conclude
that his task is finished. During his presidency, he
has, in temperai I and methods, been nicely in ac-
cord with the spirit Of the times. Never has he been
out Of joint with his circumstances. But other times
may easily require other men, and Mr.. Coolidge there
fore concluded to make a graceful exit, instead Of
being accused Of lingering slperfluous or a stage to
which he was not fitted and where he was not wanted.

following Of another vehicle closer than Is reasonably
proper.
One o. the principal protests which has gone Up
from the Pennsylvania motorists has been caused BY
the speed limit Of IS miles an hour. Many auto own
ers contend that the speed limit fixed BY the law is
al right for dirt roads, but on paved highways a
motor vehicle can be operated as safely At 40 or As
miles per hous as at 50. This feature OF the Law, they
assert, in a relic Of old days when few motor vehicles
were capable Of making more than 80 or IS miles per
hour.
ment to declare any worn out motor vehicle unfit for
service On the public highway is one which should be
generally adopted. Accident records have established
the fact that many Of the fatalities on the highways
are caused by the use of vehicles which should have
been consigned TO the junk heap, and in the not far
distant future every state will make similar provis-
ions.

Drivers Of motor vehicles and traffic officers win
watch with considerable interest the application Of
the new traffic code which Pennsylvania will put into
effect January l. The new code more closely approx
mates the Hoover Uniform Traffic Code, than the
rules and regulations Of any other state, and con-
taIns many regulations which are new to the motor
lists Of the United States. A state wide educational
partment the past month in order to thoroughly ac-
quasn Pennsydvanians with the various features Of the
code.
Under the provisions Of the new law. Pennsyl-
vania highway officials are empowered to condemn
motor vehicles which are so old as to be unfit for use
on the highways. They have the authority to pass on
the fitness Of cars and whether or not vehicles are
capable Of safe operation. The department led the
fight in the legislature for inclusion of this pro-
vision upon the basis that many highway accidents
are caused BY operation q cars which should be junk
public.
The new code sets the speed limit on the open
highway at IS miles per hour, and restricts the speed
70 IS miles per hour while passing schools where
children are entering or leaving. It requires that all
permanent type windshieIds must be equipped with
windshield cleaners.
Features of the Pennsylvania law are the pro-
visions which make unlawful the use Of sirens or
WISHES except by police, fire and hospital vehicles;
the loaning Of registration plates to another motor
ist; the display Of any stickers on the windshield or
s~windOws, the display Of any vulgar or obscene letter
ing. cards or plates; the operation Of a car with
more than three persons on the drivers seat; coast
ing down grade with gears IN neutral; failure to re-
port to police every accident where injury or damage
exceeding $50 was caused; the DETACHMENT, injury or
damage Of any highway sign; the parking Of a We
