SHIP CAPTAIN TELLS
 VALUE OF WIRELESS

WASHINGTON, May 3-A re cent instance of the value of the radio compass 10 mariners at the mercy of storms and fogs in the Great Lakes is told in a letter from the master of the steamer Harry Yates to the Lighthouse Service of the Department Of Commerce.
 TOn our way from Long Point to the port of Ashtabula, we had a 40 mile an hour gale with a very heavy snow the master said of Ashtabula the wind was blowing so hard it was impos- sible to pick up the fog whistle.
 q knew that the car ferry Ash tabula was lying inside and that she had wireless set. We could not raise the operator. so l wire lessed Cleveland to call Ashtabula and get the car ferry operator on the job. They managed to locate the operator at home, and we had him keep calling us every two minutes. We got a perfect bear ing on our radio compass and went right in and picked up the lighthouse without trouble"

Strange Combinations of Religious
Factors i'm Presidential Contest

President. The editor of the Christian
Century. in particular, is jealous to
fortify the faithful by quoting at large
length on this topic from Beveridge s
recent biography of Lincoln.
X y
Beveridge describes the petitions by
great multitudes of clergymen to Con-
greSs against the Kansas Nebraska bill.
He describes the rebukes addressed to
those clergymen by Douglas for trying
ito coerce Congress in the name of
Almighty God" and for acting in a
manner "sulbversive of our free institu-
tions" and for being guilty of "intol-
erance." He describes the persistence,
nevertheless, of the clergymen in their
endeavors and says:
"Clergymen became political agents
working with frenzied sincerity for
what they believed holy cause. "
Throughout the conflict in Illinois we'll
nigh every preacher was fiery sup
porter of the side whose ableSt advo-
cate was Lincoln. Douglas defied them.
Thus, in the name of God and Chris
tianity power of incalculable strength
was arrayed against him.
Professionals like the EDITOR Of the
Christian Century claim that the Prot
estant churches are now doing to
Smith, Catholic, nothing more or
other than they did to Douglas, q
Protestant.
Here we have the crowning tragedy
of this campaign. On the one hand
we hear Charles Willis Thompson, dis
tinguished Catholic journalist, concen-
trating himself upon the attacks on
Smiths Catholicism and exclaiming in
the columns of the Catholic periodical
called the Commonweal
There Is no longer any doubt that
II Smith is defeated 1t will be, not
because he is wet, but because he
Is a Catholic"
On the other hand, we hear the
Methodist Board Of Temperance, Prohi-
bition and Public Morals concentrating
itself upon the attacks on the historic
prohibition activities of the Protestant
churches and exclaiming with passion:
THE Methodist Church will not be
bluffed and 1t will not be bullied."

Satisf action.


To find satisfaction In life Is the
common quest Of all men. Doubtless
there are as many definitions of what
constitutes satisfaction as there are
types of human beings. The man who
has a passion for knowledge finds II
In the broader vision and finer under
standing of men and things that comes
from wide reading and research The
artistic man finds II In the glowing
works of the masters that have come
down to us as a legacy, from the past
The musician finds 1t In the rich
melodious scores that have been pro-
duced by those who understood the
concord of sweet sound. In the lower
ranges of life we find men seeking for
satisfaction In the indulgence of their
passions in the quest for gain. In the
qualification of appetite. in the acquisi-
ton of those things that constitute the
luxuries of life, and In a multitude Of
other ways too numerous to be named
AS one comes to have intimate knowl-
edge of the world and Of the diverse
types and tastes of men and women,
1t is remarkable to find how few really
come ultimately to find the thing they
seek. The satisfied folk are few in

such In places that we're obscure and
exceedingly humble. It can be demon
strated from observation and experience
that satisfaction is not wholly deter
mined by ones environment. Again
it is not determined by what one has
in the way of material possessions. Sat-
isfaction in life grows very largely out
of ones own mental outlook; 1t Is In
the main a state of mind.
A letter recently received from New
York man who was travelling In the
Swiss Alps has in 1t a suggestive
passage. He tells the story of humble

basket on arm. buying her wares for

thusiaSm with which she prosecuted

bought her few wares, he found that

Of fire insurance volume, in the main,
can come, only through increment in
property values. But as losses from
fire are reduced-and a remarkably
high percentage of such losses Is due
to carelessness and ignorance-both the
policyhOlders and the insurance organi-
zation will benefit by lower costs The
match and cigarette and cigar are
charged with being responsible for fire
losses aggregating $4,000, 900 q year
In the United States, to mention only
one source Of preventable fires.
n n 4
The casualty insurance underwriters
and the health and accident insurance
people also have asked the Insurance
Advertising Conference to prepare for
them public relations programs, the
scope Of which has not yet been de-
termined. %4s
Some of the larger life insurance
companies for some time have been
carrying on advertising campaigns de-
signed to instruct the public on the
conservation Of health. One company
alone has expended over $4,000, 900 In
service, not only to its policyholders,
but to the public In general, and this
service extends even to the point of
problems so that the ability of the peo-
pie to carry life insurance may be en-
hanced
Approximately one hundred billion
dollars worth of life insurance Is held
by the people of the United States. and
the premiums will run close to three
billion dollars year. This form of pro-
lection, with which is combined invest
ment and thrift, is experiencing re-
markable growth. The total amount
carried at the end of 1927 was $99,194,-
000,0 900. while five short years before, at
the end of 1922, the total was 9,l78,-
100000. Many economists believe this
growth will continue its strides.
X y
Fire insurance policies of the United
States aggregate $145, ,000, ,000, 900. With
an average rate of SO cents per hundred
this indicates q total of 81 ,203, SOC, 600
paid in premiums annually. There Is
nothing mysterious about fire insurance
rates. the field is highly competitive and
in practically all States there Is rigid
regulation as to the responsibility OF
companies and associations selling such
policies. II the fire loss of community
Is high the rate will be correspondingly
high, and If danger from fire be low the
cost of insurance likewise decreases.

Educational Campaign
BY Insurance Companies
BY HARDEN COLFAX.

Policyholders In American insurance
companies and ssociations-and those
who may be--are about to experience
one Of the greatest educational CAM
paigns the country has ever witnessed
in peace times--a campaign designed
not so much to induce them to carry
more insurance as to show the people
the service insurance renders, and to
instruct them how to conserve that
which Is insured, whether 1t be life OF
health or property.
In the Anal analysis, better care OF
insurable risks, whatever they may be,
will mean lower premium rates and q
consequent reduction in the annual bill
for insurance, which already exceeds
81 ,000, 100000 a year with some sources
stil untapped.
There has been a strong tendency to-
ward education in insurance for several
years; 1t was emphasized by the public
relations" theme which ran through the
convention in washington last week OF
the Insurance Advertising Conference
an organization of advertising execu-
tiveS of insurance companies Of al
kinds.
Tomorrow there will begin the sixth
annual Fire Prevention week, spon-
Sored by the Chamber OF Commerce ol
the United States and Endorsed in a
special proclamation issued by Presi-
dent Coolidge. During the week. hun
dreds of organizations will have pro-
grams looking toward strengthening
defenses against fire waste in their In
dividual communities. That much car
be accomplished by centering attention
! upon fire hazards and securing action
for their removal is evidenced by the
fact that last year was the first since
1915 that the fire loss in the United
States showed halt in its progressive
upward trend.
The National Board of Fire Under
writer's last week began a test CAM
paign in four States, where an aggre.
gate Of 100000 is to be expended In
newspaper advertising in the next few
months to inform the public as tc
what fire insurance Is and the factors
upon which rates are based. This Il

more FIRE insurance, because insurance
against loss by flames is such a per-

The Count Zeppelin.

With all plans worked out to the
mfnutest detail for the fight OF the
enormous new dirigible the Count Yep
pelin, from Germany to America. the
people of this country during the latter
part Of next week may expect with
reasonable certainty the privilege of
gazing upon the latest monster of the
skies. If weather conditions permit,

seated in the control cabin. will give
the word to begin the epochal flight
Carrying thirty-nine in the crew and
with passenger accommodations for
twenty persons, the Count Zeppelin will
rise majestically into the air and point
her nose toward the overseas goal.
Passage on the big ship is to cost
three thousand dollars and the appli-
cations have been in great number. DR..
1ckener. who piloted the Los Angeles
to America on her maiden voyage es-
Inmates that it will take from fifty to
eighty hours depending on the kind of
weather encountered, to complete the
trip. Altitude will be maintained at
about one thousand feet and life aboard
the ship will be much like that on an
ocean liner. Passengers and crew will
Subsist on practically the same bill of
fare, but passengers have the privilege
of ordering extras to the extent of the
limited electric kitchen equipment
Since man first went aloft two
schools of thought have contended on
the merits of lighter -than-air and
heavier-t machines. The diri-
gible has certain advantages over the
plane, and the plane, in some respects,
is superior to the dirigible. The light
? er-than-air machine can float and
when built to the size of the Count
Zeppelin is capable of sustaining enor-
nous weight. The airplane must keep
going at high speed to stay aloft and
its capacity, is much less than that
of an airship, yet both its speed and
its maneuvering ability are far greater
than the dirgible.
Count Zeppelin, the man. was an
lndefatigable worker on the theory
that lighter-thansair craft we're the
logical means Of transportation through
the sky. The enormous Zeppelin plant
IN Germany has long been known as
one Of the greatest laboratories for
research of the problems of the air.
To him, almost alone, must 60 the
credit for the successful development
Of the dirigible. One Of the biggest
hazards to lighter -than-air flying Is
the danger of fire in the gas bags. The
United States has produced a nom
infammable gas called helium, and
although it has less lifting capacity
than hydrogen, which is used in the
Count Zeppelin and ships of foreign
origin, it is the logical medium for
ships of this description.
When the dirigible from Germany
comes sailing in to New York the
overseas travellers viii be greeted with
acclaim. Despite the fact that suc-
cessful dirigible transatlantic trips have
been made, 1t will not lessen public
interest when the Count Zeppelin comes
to port. 1t is an event which will
rank with the most important of
achievements in mans conquest of the
air.

Charles S. Bundv.

Charles s. Bundy, who died in this
city yesterday at the age of ninety
seven, may be truly rated as Washing
tons grand old man." He had made this
city his home for sixty-six years. He
had participated actively in all move
ments of city Importance and had
served the community faithfully in Of
flee as judge of the Municipal Court,
and had upon his retirement from that
post, continued his diligent work for
the development of the National Capt.
tai. For long period he was chairman
of the Board of Trade committee on
parks and reservations, and held that
position by common consent of the
members of the organization as the one
best fitted for so important an assign
ment. His work in that capacity COW
cred difficult period in the history of
the Capital, period of change and
transformation, time, indeed, when
the park system was in danger. Judge
Bundy believed ardently in the duty Of
the Nation to develop Washington, and
he was constantly active in his propa-
ganda in behalf of the Districts parks,
resisting their invasion, pleading for
their extension and striving for the
adoption of co-ordinating plan of
Improvement. In other ways also he
was helpful worker for his adopted
home city. He belonged to numerous
organizations and was active in his
membership and service in all of them.
He was an honored member of the
Association Of Oldest Inhabitants, of
which he was for long period the
dean. His kindness of spirit, his gen.
tleness, his sound Judgment, his ardor
of faith in Washington, all made him
greatly beloved by his associates, by ALL
in fact, who knew him, and his friends
were legion. For so many years has
his commanding figure been seen in
gatherings of citizens and his voice
been heard in speech for the welfare
Of washington that 1t now seems in
credible that he has passed. He lived
uprightly and for the good of his fell
low men. He was an honor to WASH
