The Urban Air-Stunter.

. Washngtonians have learned with
considerable surprise that the exhibi-
ton of stunt flying recently over the
northwest section of the city was done
by a naval aviator. Inasmuch as
there was hue and cry to learn the
identity Of the flyer who had broken
regulations and had terrorized resi-.
dents Of that part Of the city and no
ene had come forward to acknowledge
the deed, 1t was thought that an ir.
responsible and unthinking civilian
had been guilty, and that he would
never be identified. The surprise
therefore. is occasioned by the fact
that a service aviator was guilty OF
such tactics, and that he failed to re
port promptly to his superiors that
he was the man for whom search was
being instituted.

Calls Sailing Record
Excelling Ancestors

The feat of the 16-ton American
schooner yacht Nicanor, which has
just made the passage from Boston
to Falmouth, England. in 20 days and
Z hours, a new record for n craft of
her size, is but one of several recent
developments which bear witness that
Notwithstanding mans increasing re-
lance on modern inventions. he has
by no means lost his skill in the primi-
tive arts and crafts. Our use of ma
chinery and intricate apparatus has
not made us effete; while we depend
on steamships and are looking to air.
planes for quick transa atlantic pas
cage we are not helpless without them.
We still know how to sail ships skill
fully and are even beating our an
cestors at their own game by sending
yacht across the ocean in faster time
than they ever sailed a ship equally
small.
If there were need Of 1t we prob
ably would be able to break the record
for the transatlantic passage by great
sailing vessels like the clipper Dread
naught. which in 1859 made the cross
ing in IL days. The Dreadnaught was
a craft of LAB gross tons.
There is no incentive to establish
new sailing records except the sport
of it and the satisfaction that is to
be found in thus proving that the
human race has not been rendered
incapable by the advance of civiliza-
ton of making good use of the kind
of craft utilized by our forbears in
travelling over the sea. Hence there
is scant likelihood that any attempt
will be made to surpass the Dread
naught's feat. But the Nicanor's &C.
complishment suggests that we might
be able to do so if we We're so disposed.
There is cause for pride in the re-
Election that we are not only able to
do things better than our ancestors
because of having available modern
inventions, but also can excel by EN-
p,oying their own methods.-The

1t Is commonly assumed that intol-
erance is due to one or more of the
following causes:
A fanatic faith in the complete
rightness of ones position that pro-
duces blind bigots through whose
closed minds the cleansing winds Of
the critical spirit can never blow.
A masterful and militant devotion to
ones cause that produces passionate
propagandists whose minds see even
the means of intolerance justified by
the end of victory for their cause.
A selfish privilege or vested interest
that produces reactionary defenders
of the established order, whose minds
make pious the things that profit them
and true the things that safeguard
their titles.
An ignorance that has been played
upon by the demagOgue.
Plain pigheadedness.
Much of the intolerance that soils
the spirit of mankind is doubtless due
