Details are the sine qua non of a
true picture of the past. They are the
pigments with which the historian must
work, whether his task be interpretative
or descriptive. Without them he can
hardly do otherwise than present the

of present-day manners and habits of
thinking.

Hoover Is Regarded
As Emissary of Peace

To the Editor OF The Star
Perhaps your readers would like to
know that some of the ideas about
Quakers, which we're recently published
in The Star, are erroneous. The
writer called the members of the So
ciety of Friends communicates" Now
that is very good word but wholly out
of place when applied to Friends, since
they do not use the rite of baptism nor
Of communion as practiced with SYM
bols. as they believe all such acts have
such have no need for symbols.
1t has been said that God always has
a man ready for the time of need-Lin-
coin to abolish slavery, Wilson to con-
clude the World War, and now, when
all the nations of the world are appeal
ing for peace, Herbert Hoover is made
the leader of the most powerful Nation
on earth--Herbert Hoover, a member
of the Society of Friends-Quakers who
have stood for peace through persecu-
ton and criticism and sarcasm and i'm
prisonment. Our future President is
the son of Quakeress and grew up in
the atmosphere of a community where
peace was a household word. And in
all his journeyings over land and sea
he never saw fit to unite with another
religious organization. but when the op-
portunity came he attended the little
Quaker churches and sat quite naturally
and without effort through the period
of silence which precedeS the spoken
word. And so we trust We are ap-
preaching the time foretold by the
prophet when Nation shall not rise up
against nation, neither shall they learn
war any more"

A New Altimeter.

A new altimeter for airplanes which
will indicate to pilot his altitude
above solid earth has been. developed
by DR.. E. F. w. Alexanderson, consult
ing engineer of the General Electric
Co., in conjunction with Army Air
Corps engineers. This device, which
is the fruit of the labor of many years
on one of the greatest problems con-
fronting aviation, bids fair to mark
an epochal achievement In the battle
against nature for safety in the skies.
The present altimeter Is merely an
aneroid barometer which registers, not
height above the ground, but height
above sea level. and is subject to at
mospheric pressure which may render
its indications false.
The value of the new instrument, If
further tests prove its entire reliability,
can easily be realized An aviator fly
ing over mountainous terrain can know
with eXactness his proximity to OBJ
structions, while with the present al
timeter he may be heading directly for
mountainside at an indicated alti-
tude which would apparently give him
plenty of room to clear In other words
an eight-thousand-foot altitude regis
tered on the present meter would prob
ably not assure safety to pilot flying
over the Rockies, but with the new
device he would be warned of danger
by the fact that his meter showed only
few hundred feet above the ground.
Next to slower take-off and landing
speeds or vertically ascending and
descending machine, the development
of the type of altimeter announced by
DR.. AlexaR1Gerson Is probably the most
important contribution to safety in
aviation. One of the most difficult
tasks OF an aviator Is flying blind,
which means that the pilot is unable
because of fog or storms or darkness
to pick up landmarks and must use
only instruments to determine his DO
sition. With DR.. Alexanderson's inven-
ton, however, and with the profusion
Of accurate devices that today dot the
instrument board of the modern air.
plane, the blind-f1ying pilot should be
almost as safe as If he were flying in
daylight in cloudless sky.

Can HYlan Come Back :

New York City has big political
battle of its own scheduled for 1929,
although politics in the rest of the
country may be as dead as the proven
bial door nail. For the greater city
elects it's mayor next year. Possibly the
country outside of New York City may
blink with surprise at suggestion that
the wisecracking Jimmy" Walker may
have serious opposition for this position,
provided he intends to be candidate
to succeed himself. The fact of the
matter is, however, that John F. Hylan,
former mayor, is thinking seriously of
attempting to stage comeback. AL
ready an organization is being perfected
to conduct the Hylan campaign.
Mayor Walker was elected in bitter
three-cornered battle with Hylan, whom
he succeeded, and the Republican
nominee, Waterman, busines man put
forward by his party on the theory that
the city should have business admins
tration. Gov. Alfred E. Smith, who in
former years had given his support to
Hylan, turned his back on the former
mayor and campaigne6 for Jimmy
Walker. William Randolph Hearst took
UP the cudgels for Mr.. Hylan, and there
ensued a campaign of mudslinging, with
Gov. Smith on one side and Mr. Hearst
on the other, that has rarely been
Los ITn1iy Iaata
But now Mr.. Hylan apparently be-
lieves that the time has come for a
reversion to things as they were in
Greater New York. Possibly the defeat
of Gov. Smith for the presidency has
given him courage to undertake come
back in the city where Tammany has
been supreme. The presidential elec-
ton. so far as New York City was
concerned, was distinct disappoint-
ment to the Democrats, and by the
Democrats is meant the Tammany
leadership. Instead of rolling up 100000
plurality for Gov. Smith in the city, as
it was heralded Tammany would do, it
fell short by hundreds of thousands of
votes. Possibly Mr.. Hylan figures that
if the people of New York were willing
to take a crack at their idol, Gov.
Smith, they might be willing to go even

year.

Better Clothes for Good Men,

Maj. Gen. Robert H. Allen, Chief of
Infantry, is to be commended for his
attempts to obtain better clothing for
the American doughboy. In his annual
report to the Secretary of War he has
stated that one woolen uniform is not
sufficient for a three-year enlistment,
and further points out that the soldier.
on pass or elsewhere in public, does not
like to appear in the issue clothing,
the quality fit and general appearance
of which are too we'll known to require
further condemnation"
Thus Gen. Allen adds his voice to a
considerable list of distinguished voices
which. during the decade since the
armistice, have deplored the clothing
Of the American soldier on the grounds
Of quality, appearance and lack of va
riety.
In former days an enlisted man pos
sessed two sets of clothing, the olive
drab for campaigning field service and
the blue for dress. not counting the
khaki and the white cotton for special
service or weather conditions. Every
one knows that two suits of clothes last
considerably more than twice as long
as one.
Were the pre-war dress blue revived,
as has been urgently recommended from
time to time. the difficulty on which
the Chief of Infantry lays emphasis
would be remedied, not only from an
economic but from an artistic stand
point, together with one of morale. A
wear ago the published report of Mai.
Gen. Cheatham, quartermaster general
of the Army. declared the fighting
forces morale was depressed" by its
clothing. A little more than a year
ago the Bureau Of the Budget rejected
a plan to return to the pre-war' blue
on the ground that such an expenditure
was unwarranted at that time.
This Nation is not exactly passing
through hard times even now, and some
day it will undoubtedly reach point
of prosperity sufficient to dress its small
Army commensurately with its fair
sized Navy and Marine Corps. In the
meanwhile, more power to officers like
Gen. Allen, who keep pounding away
in an effort to bring to an end stand
ard of clothing caused by and appro-
pirate to a conflict which ended ten
years ago.

chances are that Hylan's candidacy
would draw as strongly from the Re-
publicans as from the Democrats. 1t
has been possible to beat Tammany in
the past, in New York mayoralty elec-
tions, only through a fusion of the
Republicans and the disgruntled Demo-
Gratis and independents. Whether such
a fusion can be worked out In the cam
paign of 1929 remains to be seen. It is
scarcely likely, however, that the Re-
publicans would rally with any enthusi-
asm to the cause of former Mayor
Hylan.
Mr.. Hylan's effort during the two
terms he served as mayor was to keep
the street car fare at cents. If he
enters the campaign for mayor again,
doubtless this will be one OF his issues,
though in an interview in New York he
has declared that the main issue of the
coming mayoralty race is whether New
York shall be permitted to fall into the

Schwab Philosophy
On Lie Interesting
From the chicaso Daily News.

From the Chicaso Daily News.
Charles M. Schwab, the steel man,
head of a powerful corporation, has
acquired wisdom as we'll as an inval-
liable expert knowledge in his own
technical field. Occasionally he breaches
lay sermon on life, happiness and
the sort of success that counts. These
informal discourses ordinarily are in
accord with the deepest philosophy.
Mr.. Schwab urges cheerfulness in
failure. indifference to wealth. love of
work for it's own sake and the pursuit
of rational happiness. Money, he says,
is merely symbol of successful en-
deavor and is not at all measure of
true success. Riches are of little per-
sonal use. he insists, and the older one
grows the less satisfaction one derives
from accumulated wealth. unless one
has taken the trouble to learn the art
of giving or of investing in social and
cultural blessings. Mr.. Schwab says
he is poorer financially today than he
was 90 years ago. which means that
he is happier and conscious of having
furthered worthy enterprises unselfishly.
What about retirement from active
service? Mr.. Schwab evidently does not
believe In any abrupt change of habit
and routine. He prefers to die in f1ar-
ness. instead of condemning himself to
boredom by living for amusement only.
He knows that amusements cease to
amuse or interest when one has nothing
else to do. However, the enlightened
man of affairs, or of science. seeks to
live a balanced life. and such life
presupposes work. rest. play. social
companionship. duties faithfully dis
charged and the higher satisfactions
properly appreciated and enjoyed. The
man who works simply because he has
not learned to do anything else is as
unfortunate as the man who plays be-
cause he has not learned to work.
Common sense. like mental hygiene
and philosophy. teaches the abundant
and balanced life.

must guard against the dangers of an
thropomorphism in dealing with the
behavior of animals, so the historian
must guard against the dangers of
painting the past in the colors Of the
present.
The sources Of details in American
history are widespread. Up to the
present it has hardly been possible to
examine them because there have been
no guide books. Consequently various
phases of history have been neglected
or only partly studied.
One of the most fruitful sources of
such details is found in the archives of
the French government, the reports of
civil officials, military and naval off,
GERS, explorers, missionaries, trappers
and spies. Not only do these yellowed
letters packed away In Paris vaults fur
nish hitherto unappreciated viewpoints,
but they abound in colorful facts, some
of which may have devastating effect
on some of the most popular American
legends.
The Carnegie Institution of Wash
ington, to aid the researches of future
historians, has just finished the task
of cataloguing more than 100000 such
manuscripts-letters, of1cial reports,
military orders, bills of lading. etc. 1t
was monumental task, the performers
of which could expect nothing but OBJ
scurity so far as the general public is
concerned. But it will mean a truer,
fairer, more appreciative historical pic
ture for the future.
For example, in the report of French
secret agent in the Colonies has been
found the only eyewitness account of
the famous scene in the House of Bur-
gesses at Williamsburg during the
stamp tax debate which long has been
incrusted in legend. Closer examina-
ton of the letters doubtless will reveal
many other items of equal value.

Movies Have Problem
In Finding Villains

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Long ago American film producers
desisted from their established habit of
providing Mexican villains for their
Western thrillers. The reason was SIM
pie and practical. Mexico Is a profit
able field for cinematographic enter
prises. and the MeXicans wearied of
seeing themselves always depicted as
bad men," Now it is the Hollywood
fashion to have Mexican heroes and
heroines. At the present moment a
number of the most popular stars are
Mexican Senors and Senoritas (or
SenOraS).
For the same reason it became neces-
sary for the American film people to
abolish such cherished types as the phf-
laundering Frenchman, the silly-ass Eng
lishman and the beer-swilling German.
The types were false, but were sane
toned by long-established American
tradition. They were abandoned in or
der not to lose the film markets of
France, England and Germany.
Now there has been a great stir In
Italy because of the showing in Rome
of an American superfilm which, ac-
cording to Mussolini grossly misrepre-
sentS present conditions in Italy. The
film has been banned and the board of
cenSorS winch approved 1t has been
summarily fired. Inasmuch as the fllm
had an Italian setting. it doubtless had
an italian villain. But it also must
have had an italian hero and heroine.
So we see that the movie producers
are in dire straits to find acceptable
nationalities for their evil characters.
There is even serious complaint when
they draw on China or Japan. Per-
haps they might get away with a Sia-
mese william or bad man from Borneo
or MeSopotamian miscreant. The de-
mand for American films in Siam and
Borneo and Iraq is probably negligible.
A safer course is to offer straight Amer
lean villains for the edifcation of the
worldwide audience. We shall always
have enough American heroes to coun-
terbalance the American villains. and
American movie spectators are not par
ttcularly sensitive.
