Gated. The naval aviator was much
disappointed over the results of this
accident, inasmuch as his altimeter
had registered the high mark when
he turned downward.
Lieut.. Macready has apparently
given up his efforts to break the
Calico record. He made several at
tempts in specially constructed alti-
tude ships, but was unsuccessful each
time. Champion, who Is the holder OF
the seaplane height mark, will con-
tinue flights in the new standard serV-
ice plane, the Apache. with f1ve-hun-
ired.and- fifty horsepower air cooled
motor, an exclusive American develop
ment in aircraft.
When Calico landed yesterday he
is reported to have remarked, Never
again; I do not want to fall off
the earth!" Calico has given the
United States plenty to shoot at in
his remarkable flight, and If he will
only stay on the ground long enough
America will be given some cpportu-

A Wholesome Conviction.

The naval aviator who startled resi-
dents in the northwest section of the
city recently by flying low over apart
ment houses has been convicted by a
court-martia1 on two counts of the
charges against him. Testimony ad.
duced at the trial showed that the
aviator had flown at height of be-
tween fifteen hundred and three hun
the Bureau of Aeronautics regulation
in regard to flying at low attitudes
over populous districts or over such
territory as will endanger life or prop
erty in case of motor failure or tenn
porary loss Of control" and the regula-
ton which forbids naval aircraft to
fly over populous districts at an alti-
tude of less than two thousand feet"
Whatever the sentence that the
court-martial and the Secretary of the
Navy see fit to impose, it will have a
wholesome effect on the development
OF aviation, especially among service
flyers. The regulation against low
flying over cities is reasonable and
logical and designed for the protection
Of life and property. Motor failure or
loss of control at low attitudes will
almost inevitably mean death to the
pilot and bystanders, fatalities that
are needless if the aviator observes
regulations Of safety.
This naval flyer has undoubtedly
learned his lesson and it is well that
he learned'i 1t before major accident
took place. It is not believed that the
sentence will be severe. 1t should not
be. But no aviator, in or out of the
service, should be allowed to "get
away" with actions that destroy pub.
lie confidence and endanger life at a
time when glorious deeds are being
performed almost daily in the skies.

A New Type of College.
,om the Asheyille Times.

In a recent editorial the Times an
President Few of Duke University
that our country's educational system
can best be strengthened by bringing
the right kind of teachers into help
full and sympathetic contact with tho
right sort of students" His view that
the South has an unexcelled pppor-
tunity to build up several centers of
higher education for the putting into
practice of that sentiment directs our
thought to Rollins College at Winter
Park, Fla. whose president Is the dis
tinguished Hamilton Holt.
With the opening of Its Fall semes-
ter in September of last year, Rollins
gave the first of this new type of col
'ege to the America of today. DIR.
Holt announced that thenceforth its
student roll would be limited to 700
Young men and women, pursuant of the
conviction that the forming of char.
4cter is the paramount good to be got
out of a college course; that personal
contact of the intimate sort with the
proper kind of professors is the right
of the student and the duty of the
school, and that the spreading thin OF
faculty over a large undergraduate
body is a cheating of the student, the
family and the State.
At that time President Holt. while
entering upon a several-years cam
paign for an endowment of millions of
dollars. gave 1t out as his position that
"a university engaged in the business
of increasing its bulk has lost its fit
ness for the job of training youth to
meet life's problems understandingly;
that the type OF professor who fuses
his personality wlNh the students in.

A New Altitude Record.

France has frightened its hold on the
altitude record for land airplanes.
Lieut.. Jean Calico has won it again.
Holder of the record that Lieut.. Mac
ready of the United States Army and
Lieut.. Champion of the United States
Navy have tried vainly to break,
the gallant Frenchman decided yes
terday that possibly he should set 1t
Il little higher. So he started up into
what he characterizes as the insult
ingly blue sky" and when he landed
gracefully an hour or so later he had
flown at greater ceiling than a
human had ever reached before.
Forty-six thousand six hundred and
fifty-one feet, nearly nine miles above
the earth, had been touched before
Calico started on his downward trip.
And the record had been set at more
than seventeen hundred feet above
the world altitude mark, that had al
ready withstood the onslaughts of the
best aviators in this country.
On his most recent flight above
Washington Lieut.. Champion was Ger.

nina of the national committee. Mrs.
Blair. from her home in Joplin, has

Washingtonians and Virginians are

ress OF the campaign recently in

connection with the new memorial
bridge over the Potomac. It Is pro.
posed that the bridge be named the
Bridge of Lincoln and Lee" in partic
ular token of the fact that it will di.
rectly connect the Lincoln Memorial,
on the Washington side Of the river,
with the home of Robert e. Lee, In
Arlington. The journal that makes
the suggestion is hopeful that the idea
will appeal so widely to people
throughout the country that Congress
will approve so picturesque way of

Over at the League of Nations, &C.
cording to late news trickling through
from Geneva, they're said to be laugh
ing in their sleeves over the failure of
the Coolidge naval conference" No
opportunity is being lost by League
leaders to tell the world that the con-
ference was in no respect a League af-
fair, and wasn't even held on League
premises. Geneva apparently il afraid
the fiasco may be attributed by the ur-
informed to League mismanagement.
The obvious, though unexpressed, hope
Is that some day that which America,
Britain and Japan couldn't achieve by
themselves they'll find it possible to
bring about under the benign bless
ings of the League of Nations.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Our Wandering Boys.
My granddad used to stay awake at
night
And count the hours that slowly took
their flight.
He looked out toward the city, far
away,
Where from the farm youth loved so
we'll to stray.
And then he'd sit and ponder, all
alone,
On faults and follies that had been his
own.
He shook his head and murmured with
a smile,
81 wish the boys would all stay home
awhiler'
Into the sky I look with awe today,
Where speed the lads, intrepid and so
gay.
Not to the nearby town for careless
mirth,
But boldly to the ends Of all the earth.
Splendid, alert and strong, with buoy
ant cheer
Which cannot understand our loving
We say--and count each swiftly trav-
eled mile
IT wish the boys would all stay home
awhilev

Pride goeth before a fall according
to the old maxim. Pride also goes be
fore honor, and before decency, and
before almost any person or accom-
plishment worth while.
The wise man spoke of the pride
which puffeth itself up, but we, not
claiming to be wise, content ourself
with a more homely sort.
The pride we speak up for in the
market place is simply the ordinary
feeling of the right-thinking indi-
vidual.
This is not pride that vaunteth it
self. Such pride is merely conceit, in
sufferable and otherwise, with which
various individuals are afflicted, and
with which, alas, they intlict their
friends, acquaintance and others!
Our pride is, at it's best, true self
respect, without which no human be
ing ever accomplished much, or got
anywhere, as modern expression
phrases it.

ri b biblical use of the word is, of
course, the first meaning, as given in
our largest dictionaries. From the
Standard come the following defini-
tons:
Il. Unreasonable conceit of one s
own superiority, whether as to talent
wealth, beauty, accomplishments
rank, office or other distinction, with
corresponding contemptuous feeling
toward others; inordinate selfesteem
'2. The manifestations of this feel
ing in ones intercourse with others
as haughtiness. arrogance or super
ciliousness.
20. A proper sense of personal dig
nifty, character or worth; aversion to
that which is or is thought to be I'M
worthy of ones character, station or
name; self.respect; Also honorable
self-gratulation caused by evidence Of
worth in oneself or ones associates. 4"
Here we have the whole thing in a
nutshell, as one usually finds things,
if he will take the trouble to use the
big books.
Every one knows about this "un-
reasonable conceit" business!
Every one knows. too, about the
corresponding contemptuous feel
ing" This is one of the saddest COM
mentaries on human nature as it is,
not as it ought to be.
Some persons-many persons-seem
to find it impossible to achieve any
thing worth while without looking
down upon others. either openly or in
that covered way which is even
worse!
This inordinate self-esteem mani
tests itself in thousand ways. from
a failure to speak to acquaintance to
a superstraight carriage and general
impolite conduct.
This is sad price for a true human
being to pay for success, or for indi-
vidual beauty, or for talent, or for
wealth, or for rank or position. yet
thousands of persons pay others in
this poor coin, forgetful that millions
of persons already have lived who
were just as beautiful, just as wealthy,
just as talented.

Haughtiness, arrogance and super.
ciliousness have come to be so gen.
orally accepted as the concomitants
Of pride that the dictionary makers
giving in to human nature "as is"
can do no more than make this the
first meaning of the word Also the
second.
The third meaning, however, is the
good one, and, from this viewpoint,
the best and only one.
