Thirty Million Tourists
by BRUCE CATION.

An automobile association estimates that some
30OOOOOO Americans will tour the country in auto
mobiles this year.
That one sentence as we'll as any statement that
could be made, represents the difference between
modern American civilization and all others
Thirty million people-more people than lived in
all OF France at the time of the French Revolution
roaming about the country in carefree vagabondage!
Thirty million people mentioning, wandering across
pralrleS and deserts through cities and noun
talns getting recreation in the Open widening their
horizons! The earth never anything like this
before.
There have been nomadic nations. The great plains
of Russia and Siberia knew tribes of roaming horse
men, who pitched their tents in the fall thousand
miles from the place where spring had found them.
From the land-locked Caspian Sea to the Car
pathian Mountains they roamed endlessly; now and
then they swept past the Carpathians and overrun
Europe with fire and sword.
But those peoples roamed of necessity. Their mi
grations we're caused by economic condtions the
search for fresh pasture lands drove them on. The
American nomad roamS for the fun of roaming
No necessity drives him. The open road calls him,
every summer, and away he goes-to return few
weeks later brown and fit, ready for another wear
on the same old job
This is a highly significant fact; the automobile
has done something more important than make Henry
Ford millionaire. To each American it has brought
a kind of freedom kind of patriotism
Is that too strong statement? Contrast the let
of the average American today with the lot of his
father. A generation ago many men lived out their
lives without leaving their home county Their travels
unless they were fairly well to do, limited
hurried business trips.
Today the man who has not enjoyed the open
country of half dozen neighboring States is rarity.
No longer is it proud distinction to have been across
the continent.
This is sure death to provincalism and sectional
ism. 1t means wider patriotism. The man who
knows the beauties of the whole American country
side can not help having deeper, truer love for
his country than if he knew only his own neghbor-
hood.
The American is no longer transplanted Euro
pean. Among the things that have set him apart,
nothing is much more important than the automobile.

The Country Wins


Common sense increases in the United States
Senate.
Tuesday afternoon, by vote of 48 to 3d. the Senate
passed Senator Norris bill for Federal manufacture
of power and fertilizer at Muscle Shoals. The bill
now goes to the House. The degree of common sense
in that body remains to be seen.
When the world war ended, the Government Of
the United States had its hands one of the great
est power projects in the world that at Muscle Shoals
1t had been built for a three-fold purpose: The de-
velopment of power the production of ntrates for
explosives and the manufacture of fertilizer for the
farmers.
Immediately the question raised what to do
with it, that the war was over. The simple and
obvious answer occurred to some persons, among
them Senator Norris: The Government having spent
many millions of the peoples money in constructing
the plant, it should operate it for the peoples benefit
very different answer occurred to men in the
power business Turn it to u.s. they said and let
operate. Don't let the Government get into
business.
Quite a number of concerns urged their claims
on the Government in this connection and soon the
subject was smothered under confusing arguments
Suddenly light appeared. Henry Ford announced
that he would take over the Muscle Shoals plant
under certain terms
Hooray, said the people, if can't have it our
Seevs let's let Henry have it, he's the peoples friend
Well Henry probably is the peoples friend, all
right but the terms he offered for Muscle Shoals
constituted the biggest bargain of his long and sue
ceSsful business careerthe biggest bargain for Henry
One man this fact. Senator Norris long time
admrer of Henry Ford went to war against the Ford
proposal In time he succeeded in making Ford's
terms understood by the Senate and the people of
the country and Ford withdrew his offer.
No Oth oft
have done this. Norris succeeded because he had
the confidence of the American farmers, the very
class FordS undertaking was supposed to benefit most
Followed then scheme after another to turn
the great project to this that private interest
Norris fought them all down. Practically all we're
designed to appeal to farmers emphasizing the fer
tzer possibilities and minimizing the power posi-
bilities.
One after another Norris debunked these pro-
poSas, revealing the purpose behind them The pur-
pose he knew, power; fertilizer in most cases
being put forward merely to give the proposals
better smell.
Norris long campaign to triumphant end
Tuesday, so far the Senate is concerned Muscle
Shoals is saved to the people The Senate has de-
cided against giving it up. The House cannot alone
give it away, if disposed to do So
And chances the House will not be disposed
to do So The common sense of the situation surely
has begun to dawn on that body as it has on the
Senate and the country at large

Church BIightS LOUe of AbeIa7u
Written for The Times by Win Durant

from the CanOn'S house, and Heloise
heard with terror the stern COM
mand, that she must never set eyes
on him again.
She could not bear it; she wrote
him a note, proposing their flight
together; and the next day they
were riding, as fast as her condi-
ton would let them, to his brothers
home in distant Brittany. Leaving
her there, at her own request, he
went back to Paris, to fight his way
to place and dignity.
But the Canon was enraged, and
let it be known that he would have
the philosophers life in penalty for
the theft of her who had been dear
er to him than anything in this
world except his meals.
Abelard went to him, half in pity
and half in fear, acknowledged his
violation of trust and hospitality,
and offered to marry HeloiSe, if the
Canon would consent to keep the
marriage secret in order that Abe
lard might enter the priesthood.
The Canon, careless of the Canon
law, agreed; Heloise, leaving her
infant son, Astrolabe, in Brittany,
came home, protested that she
would ne'er be married, yielded at
last and then found herself prac-
tically imprisoned in the Canon's
home.
At Abelards suggestion she took
refuge with her old teachers, the
nuns of Argentueil; and there she
waited, hoping that her lover would
come.
IT wait for thee" she said; at
may be two or three years; no mat
ter; I shall wait, and my heart will
not tighten till tidings reach me of
thy ordination"

When Watson Waves His Wand

81 regret that Mr.. Hoover has deemed it
best to strike at party harmony by invading
our State We are prepared, however, to meet
the challenge offered to Senator Watson in his
native State and we have no fear of the
outcome. p"
That S what NJ Bert Thurman, national
campaign manager for Senator Watson, said
when he learned that Mr.. Hoover had con-
scented to his name going on the primary ballot
in Indiana.
1t illustrates very we'll the impudent attitude
Of professional politicians toward real Repub-
lean or Democratic government. All Hoover
did was to accede to the request by many ln-
diana Republicans that he permit the use of his
name in the Republican primary so that the
Republicans OF Indiana could vote their con-
victions as to whether Hoover or Watson is
the better man for the national Republican
party to nominate for president.
The only way it strikes at party harmony is
by giving Indiana Republicans a chance to vote
for somebody besides Jim Watson. Party
harmony in Indiana is all right from the Wat
son standpoint 50 long as whatever Jim Wat
son says goes.
The only way Hoover invaded the State of
Indiana was by permitting Republicans of In
diana to vote for him if they preferred him to
Watson.
If Indiana Republicans want Watson they
can vote for him and against Hoover, and In
diana Republicans will have exercised their
right to vote as they please.
Watson had no right to assume that once
he selected himself as Indiana's favorite son
all Indiana Republicans had TO accept his
Judgment When they made him Senator to
represent the party and the State, they didn't
elect him to be either the party or the State.
They made him servant, not master, of the
State.
The real issue is whether the Republicans
of Indiana are to have any choice in choosing
a Republican candidate for president, or
whether they must be deaf dumb and blind

Death in the West-Bound Lane

The graveyard of the North Atlantic seems to have
claimed another airplane and its crew Capt. Walter
Hinchlife and companion believed to be the Hon.
Elsie Mackay daughter of Lord Inchcape.
The glimmer of hope remains that they may have
come down in some remote region Of the American
coastlne, picked up by small vessel without
wireless aboard, on which they might remain for
days without being heard from This it will be re-
membered is what happened to Harry Hawker
some years ago.
This hope, however is dim indeed. The chances
are that that grim terror which to lie in wait
for those who venture overseas along the westbound
airlaneS between Europe and the North American
continent, has claimed two more pioneers.
First it caught Nungesser and Coli, the gallant
Frenchmen. Then the Princess Lowensten- Wetheim
and her companions Hamilton and Mnchin And
now Hinchlffe and his mysterious passenger, be-
heved to be girl.
And it all seems so foolhardy, some will say. per
haps. Yet foolhardiness is not always quality to
be despsed All pioneers must have it, to extent
and after ALL the east-towest fight across the North
Atlantic has yet been done.
Somebody must brave the death which all who
have tried it before have met, just to find out why
Five airplanes have made the flight from west to
east; Acock and Brown, the immortal Lindbergh,
Byrd and his crew. Chambern and Levine, and Brock
and Schlee But many have started the west
ward hop and turned back while the only three planes
which actually tried it have been heard OF since
Why?
Since the human brain arrived at the point where
it was capable formulating that question and others
like it, millions died trying to find the answer
We can not wholly agree therefore, that the ap-
parenty tragic adventure was either toolhardy or
foolish since the daring adventure likely was obeylng
the urge of the pioneer to add to the sum of human
knowledge-to find, and conquer, if he could, the
strange terror that seems to camp above the Atlantic

Trader Horn With us

Hinduism has nothing OIL us
when it comes to changing names,
though we do it for different
reasons.
Our organs, who we're once
O'Briens, our Martins. who were
once Martins, our Barnstons, who
we're once BarnSteins, and our
SmytheS, who were once Smiths,

alterations, represent practically,

put his feet under the table three
times a day by selling gridirons,
egg turner's, biscuit cutters and
similar knick- knacks to the house

Africa.
Under such circumstances, the
name of Smith, or even that of
"Zambesi Jack" did as we'll as any

memories interesting, peruaded him
to write them down, whipped them
into shape and made them avail

more romantic appellation seemed
desirable,

She asked me, what glory she
was like to have from me when
she made me ingloriouS, and
equally Inundated herself with
me. What a penalty this world
would be entitled to exact from
her if she took from it so bright

what prejudice to the church,
what tears of philosophers would
follow such marriage.
How indecorous, how lamentable
it would be were I to dedicate my

condition. For what concord

Takes Hindu Name

Among other requirements to be-
come a Hindu, Miss Miller had TO
change her name. She is nov DeYi
Sharnista. Her family and friends,
especially the grandmother who is
with her, will remember her as
Nancy Ann, but the East with its
age old distractions, its trans
cendentalism and its impersonal
philosophy, takes little account of
such western frivolitieS.
Nancy Ann belongs to twentieth
century America. Hinduism de-
mands something of greater an
tiquity, something that smacks of
custom and creed that were ma
ture long before Columbus sailed
toward the sunset, or even Christ
was born.
