Finders Reward.

4 stipulated reward for the return
in France. If the Senate follows the
action of the Chamber of Deputies on
the measure, each person returning a
lost article will be rewarded with five
per cent of it's value. No longer will
the finder have to take chances on the
generosity of the loser; he will merely
collect five per cent up to one hundred
thousand francs and two per cent
above that figure:
Although the proposed new law NAV
seem to be putting honesty on COM
mercial basis, there is no reason to be.
lieve that in application it would work
out that way, and it might we'll be
tried in the United States. A definite
reward is desirable for the return of
lost articles. 1t stimulates the finder
in his efforts to locate the loser. and
pays him for his time in so doing.
There have been many cases in
which greater rewards than five per
cent have been paid. but there have
been just as many in which the un-
grateful owner has refused to pay any
thing or offered such a pitifully small
compensation as to make honesty
seem of no account. The new French
statute will put the transaction be
tween finder and loser on a business
like basis. and will eliminate the per-
sonal element between the two par
ties. Probably the only person who
will be able to see no equity in the
measure will be the loser of a five.
thousand-dollar bracelet or watch, and
on the return of the treasure has with
a magnificent gesture handed the
finder a five e-dolar bill.

There have been many plans an,

far has borne fruit. Chamberlin,
however, seems to have withheld his
announcement until he was ready to
begin work, and appears to have the
jump on the field. The distance rec
ord holder has proved that he knows
airplanes from A TO II and the ship
that is turned out by his company

Speed in 1927.

AS the year 1927 nears its end it is
features of the dying year has been
the great strides made in speed of
transportation. Speed, it might almost
be said. has been the dominant factor
in the development that the year has
brought. Aviators at a hundred miles
an hour and more have placed New
York less than two days from Paris,
a motorist has driven from San Fran
cisco to New York and back again in
less than a week, and the English
Channel has been crossed in less than
twenty minutes by a new kind of
speedboat. Probably one of the year S
most remarkable developments, how
ever, was given its first public test
Yesterday at Cold Spring Harbor. Long
Island, when a fan-tailed d boat, con-
structed along the lines of an aqua
plane, streaked through the water
with twentyfOur people aboard at
better than sixty miles an hour. The
new craft was driven by Mrs. William
B. Leeds, the former Princess Nenia
Of Greece, and fully met its inventor $
claims that practically no difference
in speed would be noted, no matter
how heavily the boat was loaded. To
prove this contention which is of the
utmost importance in marine design,
the fan-tail was RIM at sixty-five miles
an hour with only the pilot and fuel

Declared Solution
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
l note the article in Evening Star
from the pen of Donald A. Craig re-
gardiEg the future of Arlington
County.
I am sure that any movement to
return Arlington County and Alex
andria back to the District of Column
bia will prove a failure. Here We
have the rights to select our own Rep
resentatives, and in Virginia two
Senators and 10 Representatives will
stand in the way of any movement to
part with Arlington County now, i. e..
return the county as part of the Fed
eral District.
We have many things in Virginia
that we will be required to surrender
if returned to the District. My humble
opinion Is the real solution of the
situation is to organize one city on
the south side Of the river. from Falls
Church to Alexandria, inclusive, and
in time this will be done. This would
at the present time place this section,
if organized, into one city. third place
in Virginia cities, according to 1920
census, and the present estimated
population of Arlington County.

As the world that laughed at the
antics of Marcelline now feels the
tragedy of his death. many pause to
wonder whether the mirth he has
scattered is ever shared sby the fun
maker himself. The clowns name
brings back happy memories and his
death by his own hand to escape the
harsher fate of starvation might so
easily. many feel, have been averted.
The Bingham Press is especially
moved by the thought that while he
had made millions happy, there was
not one to make this clowns way
smoother or soothe his aching heart
The Press tells how "kneeling as if
in prayer, he was fOund-dead from
bullet in his own hand" and asks.
Are we so soon forgotten?" The New
Orleans Tribune suspects that "the
thoughts that came to Marcelline on
the afternoon that he shot himself
amid his circus costumes must have
been strange ones. He knew al
ready" continues that paper. what
his death revealed--that a clown who
stops cloWning has few friends left.
"Our pity goes out to any one who
thinks he is down and out at %,
declares the Rock Island Argus, which
states that for some reason clowns
reserve most of their merriment for
public performa Several are num-
bered among those who have taken
their own lives. The makeup often
hides a broken heart" The Waterbury
Republican remarks that 'he exp@-
rienced to the full the forgetfulness
of the public" suffering until the
combined load of disappointment and
imminent poverty became greater
than he could bear and he rang down
the curtain upon the tragedy of his
life"
