Italy 1926 Victor

The Schneider maritime aviation cup. one Of the most famous trophies in aviation. was captured by Italy from the United States at Norfolk, Va, last year. Major Mario de Ser nardL of the Italian navy, setting d
 new record for scaplanes eraging more than I-10 miles a minute. The major crossed the finish line , with an average speed of 246.496 miles an hour.
 Lieutenant r. Schilt of the
 United States navy was second with 231.3G3 miles an hour as his aver age.
 The defeat deprived the United
 States of its chance of retaining per Imanently the coveted international trophy The United States had won in 1928 and 1925.
 Presented In 1912
 The cup was presented in 1912 to the Aero club Of France by Jacques Schneider, French sportsman and aviator with view to developing
 high speed Seaplanes. The country winning the cup is required to sched-
 ula and hold the race for the suc- cceding year.
 Great Britain. which did not com-
 pete last year, made unusual efforts this year to capture the cup, her sea
 planes being developed and worked
 out in the strictest secrecy. Italy also presedved secrecy and little was made public concerning her entrants.
 Major de Bernardo was the ace of the Italian team.
 Great Britain's victory today rep resented her third in the Schneider cup petitions, her planes having won at Monaco in 1914 and al Naples in 1922. Italy also has three vic tories to her credit having won al Venice in 1920, al Naples in 1921 and at Hampton Roads, off Norfolk, ill 1926.

The World and All
THE BIRDS ARE sLANDERED

George Jean Nathan is one Of the most brilliant
writers Of American prose now living. But he often
overreaehes truth and reason in his straining TO be
even more brilliant than he naturally is. He achieves
many Of his startling effects by the simple ~expedient
of challenging the long-cherished beliefs Of his read
ers in a bold sentence or two. This is good so long
as the popular beliefs are ill-founded or false. But
inevitably Mr.. Nathan, in his search for decisions 70
destroy gaiiy knocks over many well-established
truths.
In his newest book, "Land Of the Pilgrims Pride. >
Mr.. Nathan makes the ridiculous assertion that the
singing Of birds Is not musical. He says:
The so-called singing Of a bird, appraised By a
man with a p~racticed musical ear, is exactly and pre-
cisely Of q piece with the sounds produced BY an un-
creased wheelbarrow axle" He continues with this
sort Of higher criticism of the nightingale and mock
ing bird for two and a half pages.
So the s~ong-birds don't come up to Mr.. Nathan's
high standard Of the musicale
Undoubtedly, using the same line Of reasoning. Mr..
Nathan would maintain that the birds can't fly. / can
imagine his writing, in some future book:
The so-called flying Of a bird. appraised BY q man
with a practiced eye is exastly and precisely Of a piece
with the movements produced by an army tank or a
lame turtle"
Nathan thinks a bird can't sing unsteady, because
the bird can't sing like a violin or like Caruso. II
would be just as logical to suppose that a bird can't
fly, merely because it doesn't fly like the Spirit Of
Saint Louis or Old Glory.
1t is my own belief that man is as far behind the
birds in music as in flying. It is true that man can as
semb!e an orchestra that can make beautiful sounds
that a bird cannot make. IL is true that man can
fabrieate an a~irplane that can fly farther and faster
than q sparrow. But the lovehest symphony Is no
more to be compared 70 the musical festival produced
BY any hooking bird on a clear evening in spring than
j. the flight Of a bombing plane to be compared to the
soaring Of a lark.

California Allied with
South Texas

California will join South Texas in the effort to
defeat the Box bill. which proposes TO place Mexican
immigration upon the same quota basis as European
immigration.
composed Of leading business men and representatives
Of the agricultural and horticultural interests Of that
state, have appointed a commission to 20 to Wash
ington to aid in the fight against the bill.
California, like South Texas, depends to a great
extent upon Mexican labor for agricultural purposes.
Mexicans from Lower California and Sonora cross the
border by thousands during the vegetable and fruit
season to aid the growers in the harvesting Of crops.
Some Of them remain permanently, working by the
month on the farms. Labor conditions throughout the
southern part Of that state are vcrr similar to those
obtaining in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. The grow
ers are compelled to seek large supplies Of seasonal Ia
Dor. and Mexico is the only source from which it can
be secured.
The passage Of the Box bill would result in the
loss Of millions Of dollars to the agricultural interests
Of South Texas and Southern California. These are the
most important citrus fruit and winter vegetable pro-
ducing sections in the United States. Any limitation
OF the labor supply would not only seriously affect
these industries locally but would also affect millions
Of consumers throughout the United States who would
be deprived Of winter vegetables, which are now gem
orally recognized as necessities. Members Of those
labor unions which are now sponsoring the Box bill
under the impression that BY applying the quota re-
strictions to Mexican immigration they are relieving
themselves Of competition in the field Of labor, will, il
the bill IL passed, find themselves unable to purchase
their fresh vegetables and fruit supplies at the low
prices which have prevailed in the Northern markets
in recent years. The passage Of the Box bill would
probably directly benefit a few truck growers in the
jacksonville section Of Texas. from which Congressman
Box halls. and where they have a plentiful supply Of
negro labor available, but IL most ~assuredly would in
fiet almost irreparable injury upon the South Texas
and California farmers and materially increase those
union laborers who are now 50 vOciferously clamoring
for the exclusion Of the Mexicans.
The Box bill will be one Of the most important
matters before the South Texas Chamber Of Commerce
for discussion at its convention in Brownsville Novem-
Der IA and is. Every section Of South Texas should
come to the convention prepared TO take action similar
10 chat Of the California organization. and impress
upon the political leaders in Washington the injustice
Of the measure and the almost irreparable injury ii
would inflict upon the farmers Of the entire border
country.

BINDING TEE BRITISH DOLE


A bin has been introduced in the British House Of
Commons. ths enactment Of which will end those fes-

relief to be called "the dole" The name is unfor-

Washington Letter
By CHARLES ?. STEWART

under President Coolidge's treatment
as under the late Col. R~oosevelt's?
President Coolidge Is extremely
changeable-so his official intimates
say.
Maybe il isn't pure temperament,
as some think. I've seen executives,
az various times, who run along IN
the easiest-going way for quite
awhile. beloved OF all underlings-
and then. suddenly. they evidently
would make up their minds that a
house-cleaning was needed-and how
they'd raise the Dust
President Coolidge got back from
the Black Hills in what seemed like
the most beatific of all huraors.
He staid in il for two OK three
weeks and then, perhaps, he began to
notice symptoms that things round
about him were getting slack. Any
way, practically out Of n clear sky,
the storm burst. Nobody in the
vicinity Of the White House has ven
tured far away from his cyclone cave
since.
The correspondents theory Is that
the airs cleared now. and fair wealth
or will prevail for a spell. but that's
simply on the strength Of that super
stition OF theirs.
0fficialdom isn't so confident.
Politicians have a set Of supersti-
tons all their own.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Newspa-
per men believe-it may be a mere
superstition, but oldtimers stand
ready 10 back it up with a lot OF ex-
periences-that great events-catas-
trophic and otherwise occur in
groups Of three.
When the first one pops, they
stand by for the second; the second
having passed into history, they await
the third, uneasily; not until that
one alsO's Of record do they feel free
to relax the tension.
Thus it's been lately with the
White House correspondents, whose
job it II to keep the presidential
chronicle.
First the Admiral Magruder ex-
p~losion; then the Gen. Summerall
earthquake; finally the Senator Tess
massacre. Now peace for a space,
what? The correspondents hope SO.
It's been n pretty strenuous period.
Those are old stories now. There's
nothing 70 add 70 any Of them-ex-
cept possibly, to wonder whether Ma
gruder will face a court martial yet
and how Tess will come out on his
senatorial fight in Ohio next year.
What remains as a puzzle TO the
correspondents is:
How it that President Cool
idge has such a reputation as a mild
chief executive7
He isn't noted for his cordiality, to
be sure. However. the of
his temper and the restraint Of his
language appe ar to be very generally
assumed-that is. by people who
never have a chance 20 do things he's
interested In, in ways which he
thinks might have been materially
improved upon.
In fact. let nobody get the i'm
preston that those who have 10 take
official or political orders from the
present White House occupant-and
10 make due report Of him concern
ing performance Of same - don't
stand in holy terror or him.

Today, as has been true for the last eight or ten

industry and TO other sections. With them, I am IN
