THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES f. TRACEWELL.

In all Of long experience, we have
never yet seen some one else rid up"

paper on 1t.
"Why, didn't know you wanted that
| thing" says the caretaker, upon being
taken to task about 1t. why, I didn't
see anything important about that"
This in very hurt and aggrieved

tably grand; it will not give in to a few

shone brilliantly.
When we saw 1t the carvings along
t~the edges had vanished beneath litter
Of papers and letters Fully IL feet
square, that great desk was piled 2
feet high with the accumulation of sew
eral years work
This huddle of paper was evenly dis
tributed, too. II was as If Nature had
showed papers and letters during the
night, leaving an even coating.
Each morning the official shoveled a
small clearing out just in front of his
chair. The caller had suspicion that
every time he gave the mass a shove
the correspondence for the first six
months of the preceding year went slid
Ing off the rear into the oblivion formed
by the wall and the two far windows
Yet this official was Supremely happy
and contented with his desk.
AS far as any one could discover to
the contrary, his work was done as ex-
peditiously and as we'll as any other of
ticiafs work.
Even his secretary could not tell how
he found what he needed. but said he
not only could but did find it.

He knew the joy of tumbled papers,
..
telephones, ink wells scissors, paper
cutters. memo pads, pencils, pens, rulers
and What-not.
He alone, of all mortal men, knew
exactly where to look for anything he
wanted.
He did not have to fear that the maid
servant In moment of dutiful abb
stractlon, would turn up her sleeves and
wade in.
His was the sublime content of a
master OF men and things-a man

What Tsa Hero

Wanted--a definition of "heroism."
A New York newspaper last week
conducted poll Of its readers as to
the worlds ten greatest heroes. Nat
urally the estimates varied widely. The
lists submitted contained names as far
apart as those of the Christian martyrs
and Jack Dempsey.
This Is hardly cause for wonder
Just what is heroism and by what scale
can, 1t be measured?
Noah Webster leaves us dissatisfied
His lexicon defines heroiSm as ''exer-
else OF the quality OF courage" Cour-
age, it tells us, is that quality of mind
which meets danger or opposition with
intrepidity. calmnesg and firmness."
This seems to beg the question. Yet
when we try to improve upon 1t we
soon find ourselves in an inextricable
tangle
Lindbergh met danger with "intre-
pidity. calmness and firmness." So, for
that matter, did Blackboard. the pirate.
One definition that has come to light
is as follows: "Heroigm is conscious and
comfortable behavior entered upon to
the possible, or probable, disadvantage
Of the individual for the sake of an
altruistic principle. II varies directly
as the two regulating factors -likeliness
OF disadvantage and altruistic extent Of
! the principle. The correctness Of the
principle Is not necessarily factor"
On further reflection this seems
clumsy and difficult to apply 10 the
facts in any given case. A transat-
lantic aviator, for instance enters upon
course Of behavior with the proba-
| bility OF extreme disadvantage to the
| individual death. Yet the altruism OF
the principle involved always Ii open
10 question. The flyer advances the
cause Of mans conquest OF the air, but
he seldom sets out deliberately TO do
this. He seeks 10 attain personal glory.

unless he was sustained by firm faith
in the correctness OF the theory. He
would rank high among heroes-even
by this definition--but not so high as
the man who inoculatcd himself with
deadly germs simply to provide expert
mental material, with no remedy in
sight
Perhaps the "altruistic principle" can
be omitted altogether. One Is not alb
solutely sure that the human being Is
capable Of what, in the final analysis.
is an altruistic act.
Here is another definition: "Heroism
is comfortable behavior likely to react
to the disadvantage of the individual,
which varies directly as the degree of
fear overcome by the individual"
Certainly the extent of heroism de-
pends not so much on the act as upon
the person performing the act. 1t was
one thing for Lindbergh to fly across
the Atlantic. He had confidence In
his plane, confidence In his ability as
an aviator and navigator. 1t was
heroic. Yet more heroic would be the
caSe-it is purely hypothetical, of course
of man barely capable of maneu-
vering plane, yet setting out across
the Atlantic on the bare chance of
getting across and securing enough
money from the exploit to pay for a
worthwhile object, such as medical
treatment for his wife.
Both men would have entered upon
the same project. but one would have
to overcome hundredfoid the fear of
the other
The daredevil In battle does not show
quite the same quality of heroism as
the tim!d man who grits his teeth and
goes against enemy bayonets regardless.
The doctor who tests out a new and
dangerous remedy on himself is a hero.
But another man might do the same
thing and not be a hero at all--for
example. a condemned convict offered
this alternative to death in the electric
chair, The latter would have nothing
to fear, for the act could not possibly
result to his disadvantage and might
result greatly to his advantage.
Both these definitions contain stand
ards. Both would probably include any
list Of the worlds ten greatest heroes
composed with good judgment.
Yet both, it must be admitted, leave
out many men whom the world will
persist in considering heroic
We cannot improve greatly, after all,
on the definition of Noah Webster

cratic candidate doubtless assures his
return to Congress. which is prospect

District. participating in progressive
legislation for the development Of the
National Capital and manifesting a
keen interest in the attainment of the
objects which are on the program OF
District achievement In this service
he has not lessened his activity for his
own district in Virginia or for the State
which he represents. He has within
recent months accomplished striking
results for the benefit of his constitu-
ents. The vote given to him yesterday
in the primary was sweeping indorse-
ment of his services and without doubt

Order is one thing, but the orderli-
ness of another person-any other
person---is distinctly something else
again.
Let 1t be stated with conviction that
no person in the world can tell what is
and what is not important on some one
elSe's desk.
This axiom applies as we'll to
the small home secretary as to the
huge mahogany or walnut affair In
business circles.
A desk is strictly a one-man affair
Even confidential clerk has no right
to NEEDLE with the boss own desk. Life
Is not quite that confidential.
Not that the old man has anything
he wants to conceal! Far from 1t. he
simply wants to be able to find what
he has.
And that is system in a nutshell.
Efficiency can go no farther, CO.

circles
The busy worker who likes his work
and who wastes no time must have
things at his fingers ends.
He must be able to reach in hana
and bring out exactly what he is look
ing for~-and we ask the world how
can he do this If some busybody has
disarranged his papers and things?
The fond wight who believes In
neatness to the exclusion of everything
else never has thought beyond the
tips Of his greedy fingers.
He longs with mighty longing to
rake two cubic bushels of letters and
three OF papers into a waste basket.
He wants to see neat piles take the
place of widespread confusion: he
hanKers to replace the horizontal with
the vertical
Now, a great deal may be said for
the horizontal plane, in and along
which we who keep disorderly desks
prefer to distribute our secretarial be-
longings.
Seas, plains, horizons, are but some
on the mighty works of nature made
IN the horizontal. Their charm comes
not from their extending up but SOLELY
from their fiatness.
1t may be questioned If even the
mightiest mountain equals the sea in
simple grandeur. AS for the incom-
parable lure which is very part of
ocean life. mountains are sadly lacking
IN that, as every one knows who has
never seen one.

In addition to this bit of cruelty, he
insists on losing the most important

Hinchliffe would never have under
taken the trip on his own initiative. Miss
Mackay. wealthy and impetuous, in
duced him to 60. Mrs. Hinchliffe was
left destitute when her husband was
lost and after Lord Inchcape's gift of
his daughters estate of more than two
and half million dollars to the Brit
ish government 1t was incumbent upon
him to recognize the fact that the
other survivors of the tragedy were in
condition of abject poverty.
Lord mchcape's recent action should
remove the bitterness which resulted
from the spectacle of wealthy man
giving great fortune to the govern
ment and ignoring the pleas of widow
left destitute from an adventure of
which his daughter was the prompter.
1t can nc er be said. however that when
the British peer finally made up his
mind to provide for Mrs. Hinchliffe
he did it in a parsimonious manner.
Fifty thousand dollars is a generous gift

All Dead on the Fla.

/ In the raising Of the Italian Subma-
rine Fla. sunk in the Adriatic by a
destroyer in the course of maneuvers.
| the Italian Navy has made a remark
able record of expedition, though, unfor-
tunetely, upon the return of the stricken
undersea boat to the surface all its oc-
cupants were found TO have perished.
The submarine was raised within thirty
four hours after it sank when on emerg-
ing 1t was struck a mortal blow by the
surface craft This was accomplished
with difficulty, as high seas were run
ming at the time. But speedy as was
the salvage work, 1t was not fast
enough. Communications had been re-
ceived from members Of the crew in
dicating that there was life within the
submarine for time after it sank An
air line had been attached few hours
after the accident. But 1T did not
suffice to maintain life within the
crushed hull. which, it now appears.
became suffused with poisonous fumes
from the batteries.
Comparisons with the S-4 disaster
are in order. These two tragedies oc-
CURED In similar initial circumstances.
but the rescue work was marked by
different Accomplishments. The S-4 was
hit in December. Bitter cold prevailed
as well as high winds and rough seas.
There was unavoidable delay in as
sembling the salvage equipment and
organization. The Italian submarine
was struck in Midsummer in the course
Of naval maneuvers. with practically
full equipment of rescue craft and ap-
paratus Immediately at hand. A sub
marine mother ship veritable floating
crane, was on the scene. While the
work was most difficult. owing to the
high seas. it was not attended by low
temperatures as in the case of the Sd
American naval authorities viii doubt
less obtain and closely study the re-
ports of the salvage operations in the
Adriatic. 1t Is vitally important that
every possible device and method of
quick rescue IN the case of a submarine
accident should be adopted by this
country In order TO lessen the risk of
losses at sea. 1t is possible that the
italian Navy itself was governed and
aided by the experience of the United
States in the case of the S-4.
1t is evident from this latest acci-
dent that when a submarine Is pune
tured and sinks it is almost certainly
doomed. Unless it sinks in very shall
low water. with a calm surface and
with rescue facilities Immediately at
hand, its occupants are faced with al
most certain death from drowning or
from asphyxiation The percentage of res
cues from stricken submarines is very
small. Service I'm submersible craft is
the most hazardous of all in naval op-
erations and the best that can be ex-
pected is lessening of the chance OF
tragedy by the adoption OF extraordi-
nary and elaborated methods of salvage.
