An Air Feat That Remains to Be Done

Yet, since Lindbergh started the ball rcu...s last
spring every one OF the planes which has succeeded
IN crossing either the Atlantic or the Pacific has been
a land plane
The reason for this Is simple. Seaplanes are
necessarily much heavier than corresponding land
plane would be because it must carry bulky, heavy
pontoons instead of the two small, light wheels. And
as any given plane can lift only so much and as
ocean-crossing planes must carry every droo of gas
and oil they can lift pontoons are sacrificed to make
way for the vital fuel
Furthermore. pontoons, being bulky very ma
terially cut down planes speed thus recurring still
more gasoline to carry the craft to its destination
Ihis IS why the ocean-hoppers have used land
planes instead of seaplanes. But it is also why the

To the Editor of The Times:
With regard to action on plea of
the monument board to abolish
parking:
The public appreciates the fact
that, the monument is a place ofl
reverence, the fact that many ma
chimes driving around the monu-
ment in quest Of parking space,
gives to these people chance to
view this wonderful piece of work,
which they would not have a chance
to see otherwise. I, for one, am
thrilled when ride around it when
in my own car or in the city buses.
What is most unsightly in my way
of thinking, is the boarding up OF
the four posts which have been
standing now all summer, would it
not be better to have this work fin
ished up and tear down the old
boards so that the public can really
see the beauty Of this wonderful
monument.

Editor The Times:
My Dear Sir--I want to say to
you that / admire a man like you
who stands for a principle that is
right and fights for it until it is
proven.
If the other newspapers had stood
against the wrong that has been
done in Indiana this might have
been cleared up before now.
But back of this had the people
never forgotten the teachings of the
lonely Nazarene these things would
never have been.
God pity those preachers who for
few dollars joined an organization
that went out over this fair country
of ours and preached hatred against
different classes, races and creeds.
Goo, pity any man who for political
reasons joired such an organization
and then kept it secret SO as to
Ihold the Negro, Catholic and Jew
for their votes. Is not that dEcep-
ton? For Gods sake give u len
who dare to do right becausel% is
right to do right not for selfish rea-
sons, but for the good of mankind.
Yours respectfully,

The opening was rather irregular
There was selling on the relatively
easy showing of Liverpool and some
Southern hedging, with offerings soon
absorbed. and the market became
firm during the middle of the day on
reports Of continued good spot de-
mand in the South and good trade
buying.
The opinion was expressed in some
quarters that the failure of the mar
ket to break on the veto Of the Nc
Nary Haugerl bill yesterday had
brought in some previously procrasti-
mated buying as well as covering by
recent sellers. March sold up to 140S
and July to 14.41. net advances OF
about to 9 points on the general list,
but there appeared to be more con-
tracts for sale around 14.20 for May
and 1910 for July. Realizing for over
the week end constituted a good part
of these offerings. but there may have
been a little Southern selling on the
improving weather. Last prices were
within a few points of the best with
apparent difference of only IL points
between March and May, compared
with II points at, the close yesterday
Reports from Memphis said there
had been an improvement in spot de-
mand there toward the end of the
week There also were reports of a
more active spot demand in the New
Orleans market

Bush. He has driven in more runs

season--well over so so far, think"
