A CHRISTMAS CUSTOM BROKEN

If every cloud has a silver lining then
there is comfort for those government
employees who didn't receive their De-
cember checks before Christmas in the
thought that January viii not nave forty
days. The custom of paying Decem Der
salaries in time for Christmas spending
doubtless was conceived in kindness but
those who have been in the habit of get
ting paid and spending their pay for
Christmas presents and festivities know
it was a mixed blessing at best. Janu-
airy, when one is in the habit of wanting
to start the new year properly, followed
and became the hardest month in the
year.
Despite the circumstances which
brought about the break in the custom
this year most OF the government en-
ployees doubtless will realize before next
month is very old that they are better off
by having their monthly pay at the end
of the month instead of a week or more
ahead of time when the inducements Tor
spending were very great. Possibly IS

sales slightly reduced but the Three
Kings doubtless will stimulate spending
if Santa Claus actually failed.

of meeting the largest payroll in the is

only self interest if many wish him a New
Year filled only with joy.
With the Holidays only about half over

Multiply Air Speed
BY Six Since 1913

Calshot Air Station. England.--t@
The advance in air speed since
1913, when the Schneider Cup race
was first held, seems incredible when
it is recalled that the winning
French airplane only reached a speed
OF Az miles an hour.
England captured the trophy in
1914 with speed Of 55.3 miles an
hour. while the next meet in 1919 at
Bournemouth. England. resulted in
no award. In 1920 Italy won with
1923 miles, and it repeated the VIC
tory in 1921 with speed Of ll7.4
miles.
Great Britain recaptured the
trophy in 1899 with speed Of lass
miles. but lost it again in 1929 to
the United States when Lieutenant
y. Rittenhouse made l77.3H miles an
hour at Cowes, England, in his Cur
tiss Dig biplane. In 1925, when the
next race was held ut baltimore,
Lieutenant J. n. Doolittle retained
the trophy for the United States with
4 speed Of 23257 miles an hour in

! the American Legion. 1t made our
national pride mount high to witness
the manner in which the American
government is caring for the soldier
dead who sleep in Argonne, the
A1sne- Marre sector and elsewhere.
We took time to go over the Belleau
Wood memorial and the cemetery
where the first Americans killed in
the World War are buried. From
Beleau Wood we motored to the
chateau which was Pershing's head
| quarters, and after lunch visited the
grave and memorial to Quentin
Roosevelt.
The approach to Italy from Paris
via Geneva, Lausanne, through the
Alps over the famous Simplon pass
is upon road built by Napoleon.
This ,road, which terminates at Lago
MaGkiore, is more than beautiful. 1t
is an easy two days auto tour over
wonderful Swiss roads to Bareno
Italy. The night control is at. Bricg
Swiss roads are fine. well polced
and, where travel is dangerous, the
routing is strict. In fact Switzerland
/ is the most delightful of European
| countries for Americans. Food and
acc omm odations are better there than
in most European countries. One
sees few paupers, cities are clean,
and one encounters Il most delight
full people. 1t is not hard to drive
through the Alps, so many precau-
ti0ns have been taken for the safety
Of the tourist. But motoring through
the Italian Alps. along the Riviera
to Genoa and thence via Pisa and
Florence to the Eternal City, one
realizes the vast difference between
the Italian and Swiss system of
roads.
In France the roads are narrow
and winding but they arc built with
an oil and asphalt binder and there
is little dust, while in Italy outside
of the more important cities no at
tempt has been made to allay the
dust.
Motoring is especially hard in Italy
because of the nature Of the traffic
on the roads. which are filled with
pedestrians. donkeys. OK teams. and
ancient types Of vehicles. 1t is
necessary to wake the driver before
they can pass. After the noon hour
most Of the Italians lie on their loads
and go to sleep. letting the horse,
donkey, or steer as the case may be,
zigzag from one side Of the road to
another. Those who contemplate a
motor tour in Italy need a strong
horn. for some of the Italian road
siestas are very profound.
For the most part. the pedestrians
in Europe have the right of-way and
the autoist has little defense if he
hits anyone or dumps farmers cart.
If one averages ten miles through
the villages one does we'll. When
the farmers are bringing their pro
duce to city. it is impossible to ex-
coed eight miles an hour for miles
outside the city limits.
Approaching Italy over the Simplon
pass. the first city of interest is
Bareno on Lago Maggiore. II is as
beautiful as Lake Geneva but not so
favored by tourists because the Swiss
k..ow better how to cater to Amer
leans. They have learned the art
and surpass the French. Italians and
even the English in making Amer
leans comfortable. Geneva and Lau-
zanne are delightful cities and are
doubly interesting because of the
present day history linked with them.
From BarenO our route led to
Sayona, an important seaport Of
Italy. From there we made side

clouds, he might be sainted. For

did over the precincts of Rome and
the boundaries of the empire.
There is real reason for Musso-
lini's hold upon the Italian people.
One Of the most popular measures
was the reduction of the term of
obligatory military service. He has
built up = loyal volunteer force in
place Of JtAe army Of long and en-
forced service. Still army service is
popular III Italy and France. Both
nations are supporting many under
arms and the extent Of officaldom
is appalling. One can't turn without
humping into some uniformed min
ion. for the governments of France
and Italy control so many Of the
munication left in America to private
initiative.
The common people in Italy, and
the writer visited with some few who
could speak English, compare Benito
to Abraham Lincoln. His lowly
birth and the dramatic appeal he
makes give him a hold upon the
Italians which it is hard to under
stand unless you have travelled the
highways and byways of this over
populated country. The wonder is
how the millions are supported in a
country not rich in resources. Mus
sotini's dream is of colonies to care
for the population which is growing
faster than the nation can provide
for it.
Mussolini has improved public
service throughout Italy. His adj
ministration is at work upon the
roads. How the school books lied
about the Roman roads! The worst
road in America is to be preferred to
the so-called Roman roads. Some

better. Yes, but for the peculiar
needs OF America they ought to be
four times better. Children do not
go to school so regularly as they do
in Western Europe and they ought
to go more. America is rich enough
to keep all her children at school
until 16, learning to use their own
language fully and skillfully. learn
ing the elements of science and
something sound and solid about the
rest of the world. She does nothing
of the sort: II Is decades behind her
material progress.
The fundamentalist controversy
displayed great areas OF the United
States as being mentally 20 years
behind Western Europe. She ought
to be handing out to her people all
the best literature of the world, good
scientific works and modern discus
sion at a quarter of a dollar or less
for full book. We can do that in
England, but in America books of
that sort cost anything from 81 to
$50. Common people in America and
their children must read old, worn
books or none. She is, in fact. build
ing the great nation of the future on
a foundation that would be thought
insufficient even for an effete and
tradition -cemented European COM
munity.
This will not do. She has to see to
that. If she does not see to that, all
her large promise is in vain. But
the growing volume of self-criticism
in America, of which the books
have cited are only samples, Is very
hopeful sign that she will see to it.
The sooner she sets about seeing to
it good and hard the more cheerfully
will my hopes for America go about
in my mind.
But the job is no slight one. IL 1t
is to be done at all, a very great eff
fort indeed is required. The univer-
stiles, book distribution and. above
all. the common schools in America
must have something like a renas-
cence before the atmosphere of IAN

out of reality into history and the
