An Aviator Disgraced.

Jean Callizo has been convicted and
disgraced. The French Aero Club has
stripped him of pretense and honor
and shown him to the world as a
faker and liar. Holder of the world
altitude record for airplanes, Calico
has had his record summarily taken
from him, he has been denied license
to fly again in France. and the Legion
of Honor committee has been request
ed to withdraw the award Of that
order.
This most pathetic figure that avia'
ton has so far revealed was uncov'
cred in the following manner: Calico
two years ago returned from a flight
to announce that he had established
the altitude record of more than
forty thousand feet. Monday he went
up again to set the mark still higher
When he reached the ground his baro
graph this time showed something
over forty-six thousand feet.
But before this flight Bleriot engi

could reach the forty-thousand.fooi

Hughes and the 1928 Race.

The arrival of former Secretary
Hughes from his European vacation
yesterday has not resulted in any ma
terial addition to political information
regarding the next presidential cam
paign. Shortly after he landed he was
interviewed by a group of political re-
porters in his office, and in response
to their opening questions he said
that while not very familiar with the
situation he was "still of the opinion
that Mr.. Coolidge will be renominated
and reelected" and he added, land
1 am for that" In further response
| to queries he indicated that there was
nothing in President Coolidge's II do
not choose" statement to preclude his
nomination by the Republican conven-
ton. Then came the important ques-
ton. He was asked. "In the event
that you should reach the conclusion
that Mr.. Coolidge is definitely out,
would that change your attitude as
expressed in the statement made pub
lie in May?" Mr.. Hughes replied. "As
I see il, no such conclusion would be
justified, and under the circumstances
1 see no reason why any one should
add to or enlarge upon what I have
already said"
And that is that. Mr.. Hughes be-
lieves that the President is still avail
able, despite his choosing" not to
run in 1928. He believes that the
President will be renominated as the
result of q universal party demand
that he serve another term. He de-
clines to commit himself further than
he has already done on the score OF
his own availability in the event that
Mr.. Coolidge should peremptorily and
not in Vermontese' decline to allow
consideration of his name. His own
statement in May was that he regard
ed himself as too old for the presi-
dency. At that time there vas no rea'
son to look for any demurrer on the
part of the President to the sugges-
| ton of another term. The intervening
circumstances have not altered the
fact of Mr.. Hughes ageI Nothing
can do that. He will be very nearly
sixty-seven in March, 1929, when the
next President, whoever he may be,
will take the oath of office. Other
opinions may be had on the score OF
the relationship of years and the
presidency, and certainly there is
nothing in the expressions of Mr..
Hughes given in response to yester.
days questions to discourage those
who are hoping to add his name to
the list of potential Republican candi-
dates to be considered by the conven'
ton of that party next June.

Moving the Town.

Columbus, KY, has given up its
battled with the Mississippi. Inun'
dated in the last great food and forced
to fight every minute before that to
keep the angry waters from over
whelning it, Columbus has decided
that discretion is the better part OF
valor and is moving its forty DWELL
ings to a high bluff half mile above
the river.
This small Kentucky village Is
taking the action that many per-
sons believe should have been taken
long before by threatened towns and
cities. 1t is far simpler to move than
to stay to be flooded again. Re-
building must take place in any event
and rebuilding would appear to be
far more worth while II 1t were a
permanent measure.
There must be some fascination,
however, to river folk in their loca-
ton near the swirling waters. They
are loath to leave to build in safer
places. And that is one reason that
floods, which occur almost periodl-
cally, take such heavy toll. Per-
haps Columbus has led the way and
other villages will follow. 1t is
sensible experiment at least.

graph in one Of the wings Of Callizo'i
plane. This instrument when taken
from the plane on landing showed
only fourteen thousand feet altitude
and the cat was out of the bag.
At the Aero Club investigation it
was proved that Callizo had faxed the
first record and the second; that he
had doctored the barograph before
leaving the ground to show the high
ceiling; that he had blown steam on it
to render the invisible ink visible as
soon as he got out of sight of the
ground; that just before landing he
took some drug, which made him
deathly pale, as IL he had been in high
attitudes, and that he purposely
crashed his plane so that the record
would seem more realistic.
So by the uncovering of this faker
! America will get the record. Either
Lieut.. Macready, with more than
thirty-eight thousand feet, or Lieut..
Carleton C. Champion, jr.. of the Navy
the four major records of aviation.
Even before Callizo was shown up
there was some feeling of wonderment
in America that France was able to
produce such man and such a ma
chine. the combination of which was
sufficient to set such an extraordinary
height in airpIane flying. Lieut. Mac
ready. when he was still in the Army,
tried repeatedly with special planes
and special equipment to shatter the
record that had been made in an ordi.
nary Bleriot ship with no particular
preparation.
Lieut.. Champion. holder of the
world altitude record for seaplanes,
and with a better motor and better
equipment than Macready could pro.
cure at the time of his attempts, fell
short of Callizo's alleged mark, al
though in the raretied atmosphere of
the upper reaches his motor pounded
itself to pieces, his plane caught fire,
and he barely escaped with his life.
Was it not cause for wonderment
then that the best that America could
produce, even with the powerful
air.cooled, five-hundred nd-fifty-horse-
power motor, was not enough to break
a record that had been made in an
ordinary plane and ordinary equip
ment?
Callizo is very definitely through,
and it is we'll that he is. Aviation can
not harbor such men in its ranks. The
men of the sky must be brave and
they must, above all, be sportsmen.
There is no room, even in the limit
less blue, for shirkers and takers.
France is to be congratulated for its
prompt investigation and expulsion of
a man who has disgraced his name,
his country and the gloriously develop
ing art of flying.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Frankly, It is not.
The lady who owns this face has
better things to do than launching
ships.
Modern girls prefer to fire the oven
for biscuits for supper, rather than
devote their energies to the towers,
topmost or otherwise, of Troy.
Anyway, what do they do in Troy,
any more, except make collars?
Beauty has face, which, once seen,
is never forgotten. Such eyes, and
such smile!
~She should be a movie actress"
No. indeed, she shouldn't. She has
much better job.
~ X
Here is Charm!
This girl has a peculiar grace of
something which distinguishes her
from others.
Her voice Is clear and high pitched,
yet soft with the sweetness which is
the glory of women's voices.
Once any one falls under its sway,
he (or she) finds himself listening for
it as he would for the music of a
good orchestra.
She is, in essence, a combination of
artistic and physical gifts, one react
ing on the other, even in the way she
holds her head.
She has imagination and sense OF
humor, and such a gift for friendli-
ness that discriminating persons who
see her ask for nothing better in this
world than to be her friend.
She has a way of looking up at one,
from beneath slightly lowered lashes.
x1Hnf RI ~ a Ynn
friend of Charm would be to achieve
distinction.
And here is Goodness.
Thank goodness, as the ladies say.
She is gentleness personified. Her
paths are ways of peacefulness. she
gathers the lambs of others to her
bosom. and loves them the same as II
they were her own.
She is that rarest of persons, one
who never quarrels. There is no re-
tort upon her lip. Those who fret
and fume shall not understand her,
but it makes no difference.
What they may call a lack OF
snarkle is seen by those who know
Goodness to be merely the soft refiec-
ton Of an inner spirit which deals
only in happiness.
This is the one and only genuine
light that never shone on land or sea-
for it shines from heart to heart.
This Is the mild beam Of human
sweetness, which is the heritage OF
women who possess the little-girl look.
Her bright hair so reflects her
sunny disposition that the world cam
not wonder any longer why gentle
men prefer blondes"
Seeing her, the world knows!
So let the golden apple be bestowed
upon her, not by Paris, but--by Jove.

him. prohibition was no great social
experiment. In his mind the license
to drink, as old as the world was old
had been the experiment. The result.
in his mind. was the necessity for
prohibition.
Wheeler demonstrated the power of
the ballot; and his use OF this power
was skilled and always successful.
For the last ten years of his life he
lived in Washington, and his most
picturesque battles were waged on
Capitol Hill. But the real prepara.
tioA Cor his campaigns, the levying of
his forces. the marshaling of his re-
serves. lay not in Washington, but
throughout the country. His appeals
were directed to the voters; his de-
mands were exacted upon their repre-
sentatives. The doubtful" Congress
man in Washington feared Wheeler
not the man Wheeler, but the power
he held over the voters. To buck
Wheeler was to buck a constituency
that Wheelers hand had organized.
Few OF them cared to buck Wheeler.
The death of Wheeler, under cir
cumstances which should enlist the
sympathies of friend and foe alike,
has ended a career which indelibly
stamped itself upon the times. 1t is
idle to talk of who will succeed
Wheeler. There will he. of course,
another general counsel for the Anti.
Saloon League. But Wayne B. Wheel.

''Cotton'' Shepherd, the
Eastern Branch Rescuer
TO the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor OF The star:
Reading an article published in
your paper some time ago regarding
the rescue of a Mrs. Tore by James
Shepherd, known to the boys along
the Eastern Branch as Cotton Shep-
herd, reminds me OF the rescuing of a
boys life by the same Cotton Shep-
herd few years back. We were
walking along the branch at what was
then known as Buttmans Beach, close
by the Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge.
We arrived there in time to hear a
boy shout for help. Deserted by his
comrades, the boy was trying hard to
keep afloat.
Shepherd tried to get his shoes off,
but the strings were in a fast knot. l
managed to cut one shoe off with my
pocket knife. Just then shout went
up that the boy had gone under.
Then. with all his clothes on except
one shoe that / had cut off. Shepherd
plunged in and swan to the boy, who
by this time had been under twice.
He caught the boy by the hair: then,
after an awfully hard struggle with
the boy, he grabbed him by the pants
leg, and the boy had to be fought OH
while swimming 200 feet with him.
Having witnessed this feat and
knowing of three others who, at the
risk of his own life. have been saved
from the Eastern Branch by Cotton
Shepherd, I take it upon myself to
write you, for Cotton was very mod
est lad and did not like to talk about
these things.
l think the people of Washington
should know about the rescues and OF
the life guard along the Eastern
Branch.
The reason I am writing this is be-
cause / think this young man has
done these great deeds, and he should
be mentioned among the other heroes
of our city. w. r. LUSBY.

PHILOSOPHERS
BY
GLENN FRANK

Several years ago, Christopher Nor
ley wrote beguiling yarn with the be-
quilting title of Where the Blue Be-
gins"
1t is the story of the spiritual ad-
ventures of Gissing, a dog Morley in
vested with human perplexities, as
man has invested God with human
personality and passions.
Gissing's dog-soul was harassed by
the inscrutable issues of life and des-
tiny, and, like most of us, he was
driven by a hunger for "a horizon
that would stay blue when he reached
it,"
But Gissing's greatest hunt was for
God.
With his dog-nose, as sensitive as a
poets spirit, Gissing tirelessly sought
to scent the footsteps of God through
the mire and maze of human affairs, in
cathedral and contingencies, on land
and sea-toward some horizon that
would prove Immortality blue.
This evening 1 glanced through this
engaging volume, and found my eye
caught by the run of Gissing's reflec.
tions about God. They were all under
lined from a first reading several
years ago.
They strike me as offering a tonic
draught for the religious controver-
sialists of our time-there is so little
artificial pickering and so much of au-
thentic spiritual hunger in them.
do not know a better statement of
the real religious problem of our time
than this statement about Gisisng:
The very solitude that he craved
and revelled in was, by a sublime par
adOx, haunted by mysterious loneli-
ness. He felt sometimes as though
n out l1o1 Oee
some great whole, to which it yearned
to be reunited. 1t felt like bone that
had been buried, which God would
some day dig up"
Or, again, this:
people who have had an arm or leg
amputated, Gissing reflected, say that
they can still feel pains in the absent
member Well, there's an analogy in
that. Modern skepticism has ampu-
tated God from the heart; but there
Is still a twinge where the arteries
We're sown up"
THE God l imagine" said Gissing,
in a phrase that is singularly peril
nent to our generation, lis something
more than a formula on Sunday and
an oath during the week"
This deity" Gissing said again, as
he pondered on the God worshipped by
his fellow dogs who had become mere
Journalists, this deity is too plainly an
extension of their own desires"
And, then, this Acknowledgements
obsessed time will do we'll to follow
Gissing to the exquisite ending of his
spiritual adventure. After all his wan.
derings and wonderings, Gissing found
God back among the familiar difficult
minuatiae of home"

Memories of Irving House.

Letter to the New York Herald Tribune.
Your short editorial on August 25,
concerning the Washington Irving
house, on the corner of Irving place
and Seventeenth street, recalls the
fact that I was born in the house two
doors away from it, small brick,
three-story house, exactly like it, being
| between the two and on it's door plate
the name E. Irving. My memory of
Mr.. Irving Is that in the '60s he oc-
cupied the house with his little old
fashioned wife and daughter Mary.
or Mamie" as we called her, their
protector being a red setter called
Patsy.
My father took my mother to our
house, then II, as a bride, and the
three houses were the only ones on
the block, and have heard my father
say many times that Washington
Irving used to sit on the little iron
balcony on Irving place and look clear
down to the East River, which shows
the scarcity of houses at that time
and demolishes the theory that 'Irying
never lived there" No one contends
that he owned the house: but that he
lived there, with a relative, and next
door to another one, there is no doubt.
He lived at some, time on that corner,
but for how long or at what date /
am unable 10 say positively. With
out doubt. the street from Fourteenth
to Twentieth, called Irving place, was
so named to honor the author, soldier.
diplomatist and patriot, whose memory
and worth are fittingly marked by
the memorial at Sunnyside, Irvington-
on-Hudson, by Daniel Chester French,
recently unveiled.

Perhaps Couzens Was Joking
About Small Pay of Senators

obscure bit of log-rolling. But here
again the Michigan Senator could fol.
low the example of the Idaho Senator,
who kept the arrangement a secret
between himself and the Treasury"
y y
AS to vacations being too long, the
New York Sun declares: "It certainly
would not be through mere politeness
that not only Senator Couzens' con.
stituents, but those of most of his COLI
leagues, would say, Not at allr IL
they had an opportunity to express
an opinion on the question.
But, apart from such considerations,
1t should not be forgotten that at the
present time even the bitterest enemies
Of the Senate must admit that it is
now the one upper chamber in the
world that is worthy of the name, that
has powers and uses them. For that
reason alone it would seem that its
members were worthy of their hire, no
matter what anybody may say to the
contrary"
A similar view comes from the
South Bend Tribune. with the state
ment that 'the United States Senate
is the most important legislative body
in Nation which has more diversified
problems than any country on earth.
It's members carry responsibilities
which would bring great financial
compensation If they were borne in
industrial or professional positions.
The tendency to view a senatorial seat
as haven of rest for a wealthy man
or as a reward for faithful political
service is increasing, and there is little
probability of its being checked until
United States Senators themselves re-
alize the Importance of their positions"
Somehow we find it difficult to ac-
cept Senator Couzens' views in whole
or in part" states the Springfield
Union, which, in the course of it's dis
cussion. suggests. IF. as he declares,
there isn't sufficient work for a Sena-
tor to keep him warmed up, then 1t
naturally follows that the sessions are
long enough, if not too long" The
Union also gets the impression that
possibly the Senator's views "are in
fiuenced by the fact that he regards
railroading as the most fascinating
business Of them ALL and would like
to get into it."
