A Snlenflid Feat

Like the sea captain who Is always
the last to leave his ship in case Of
disaster and whose first thought is for
his passengers, was Thomas Durfee
yesterday when the sea plane he was
flying crashed into the water near the
Highway Bridge. Durfee was attempt
ing to land after trip with two pas
sengers. AS he dropped down over the
bridge he was dismayed to see a tug
boat directly in his path. Swervine
sharply to avoid this obstacle his wing
tip caught the water and capsized the
plane, injuring the three occupants.
DiSregarding his own injuries, Durfee
hurriedly pulled his passengers out of
the submerged cabin and held them
above water until they we're taken off
by boat Durfec, true to tradition,
stuck by his ship until the damage
could be ascertained and arrangements
for salvage made.
In saving the lives OF his passengers.
Durfee performed a splendid feat. Re-
gardless q the cause for the crash he
showed great bravery, cool judgment
and upheld the traditional ideals of con-
Duct in grave danger at sea. 1t Is a
matter OF satisfaction to the public that
commercial aviation can boast OF such
men as Thomas Durfee.

Immediately instituted and the police
and the bandits came together for the
inal battle yesterday afternoon
Lieut.. Andrew Barry OF the Detective
Bureau OF Chicago. twice winner Of
hero awards, sighted the men In small
hollow In which they had lived like
hunted animals. He called out to them
to surrender, Their answer was the
blast OF shot gun which wounded the
detective. Machine guns OF the police
were turned on the bandits and the
hollow was raked with withering fire.
The police then closed in and captured
the two men.

tained more than one hundred thousand

the wounds hc had received. His at

Go much, forty OF you, and only two
men with one shotgun against ycu. I'd

Ordinary penitentiary life seems en-
tirely too good for men of this type.
Cleaver and his gang stop at nothing in
their fight on law and order, and II
would seem only justice that law and or
der should retaliate in kind until such a
spirit is subdued. If these men recover
ficm their wounds they should be placed
in solitary confinement and denied all
Jail privileges for the rest of their lives.
Reformation for them is out of the ques-
ton and the hand of society should rest
heavily on their heads to prevent

Favors Bathing Suits
Made Of CheeseclOth
BY z. z. FREE. Pm. ID.

Tubes OF half-transparent cheesecloth
for bathing suits, pulled on over the
head like meal sacks, are advocated by
DR.. Leonard Hill, well known British
advocate of sun bathing, In q contribu-
ton to recent special issue of the
London Times, devoted TO the effects
OF sunlight on health, The sun-bath-
ing cult. which has been growing in
Germany for three years. and which Is
credited by many sanitary experts with
the unmistakable recent improvement
OF German national health. is beginning
to take hold In England.
The British public Is less willing
however. to accept the fashion Of al
most complete nudity customary among
German sun bathers. On the other
hand, even the most abbreviated OF
conventional bathing suits cover SO
large a proportion Of the BODY and are
50 Opaque to the health-giving ultra
violet rays that they destroy. DR. Hill
points out. most of the possible benefit
OF sun bath. AS compromise be-
tween British modesty and the need OF
getting as much sunlight as possible on
the largest possible fraction of the skin,
DIR. Hill proposes sun-bathing dresses
made OF the wide-mesh. liqht-weight
cheesecloth, now sold for a few cents a
yard for cleaning automobiles and SINH
lar purposes.
The fabric Is woven In the form OF
long, seamless tubes. ready, Or. Hill
says, merely to be drawn over the head
and cut off at the proper length to cover
the upper part OF the body. The open
texture OF the fabric admits plenty of
sun through the loosely woven threads.
Two thicknesses may be worn by those
whose modesty Is greater than their
desire for more sunlight

Hits Clemency Pleas
For Busch Slayers

TO the Editor of The Star.
There Is one element in our national
life that constitutes more of menace
to the community than the criminal.
and that Is the maudlin sentimentalist
who moves heaven and earth TO prevent
punishment OF the criminal. We have
at the present moment an instance of
this danger In the effort to prevent the
sentence imposed upon the murdercrs
OF Policeman Busch from being carried
out.
When we went 10 war with Germany
we put millions Of the best of Americas
young manhood In the muck of Flan-
ders' trenches to lay down the prin-
ciple that wrong should not triumph.
We did not hold then that the mere
preservation OF life was the matter of
prime Importance. We held--and right
ly so-that there were other things
that we're Of equal Importance. There
appears TO be large number Of people
who believe that in the handling OF the
criminal the mere preservation of life
transcends every other consideration.
They seem to consider that the peace
and good order OF the community, safety
OF the law-abiding element OF the popu-
lation and the lives OF the officers Of
the law. upon whom they rely for pro-
t1ction, are matters of secondary con-
sideration. Of course. every man is en-
titled to his own opinion, and every
man has the right to attempt to per-
suade others in these matters, but there
should be strict adherence TO the facts
in such an effort, lest public sentiment
in favor of dangerous gang of crimi-
mails be created
Statements recently published would
have the public believe that one MEM
Der OF this band had good record UP
to the time Of the murder of Police
man Busch, but this is far from the
truth. The automobile in which these
men were riding at the time of the
commission Of the crime was stolen

being made has been charged with au-
tomobile stealing Further, unless my
memory is at fault, this same gang.
prior to the murder of Policeman
Busch, held up and robbed several gaso-
line stations in Virginia
The maudlin sentimentality OF a large
proportion Of the American people has
already gone far to completely break
down the control Of the criminal We
cannot expect officers of the law to
continue to take their lives In their
hands. to apprehend these dangerous
characters, If they have to feel that IL
they are murdered public sympathy will
be for the murderer and not for the
children left fatherless.

The shortcomings of modern straw

British Joke ON America Seen
In Raising Bar Against Thaw

Great Britain's action In excluding
Harry Thaw strikes many observers here
as pretty good joke on America
Others, who treat the incident seriously
uphold the British position as entirely
justified.
A news dispatch stating that ThaV
was "thunderstruck" when informed OF
the decision Is quoted by the Des MoineS
Tribune Capital with the comment:
But why should Thaw be thunder
struck at the British decision TO keep
him out? Why should any American feel
queer about that little episode? On this
side we are always keeping this or that
person out, on the ground OF morals
Sometimes we strain at gnatS and swal-
low camels. but certainly we try hard
enough to catch all the gnats. America
