Craft Lands Here on Way
to Los Angeles.

The Goodrich Silvertown Fair

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Sept. S. - Clar-
ence Chamherlin plans to start an
amphibian passenger airline between
New York and Washington next
week, he has informed his friends
here.
The transatlantic aviator made
his first test flight yesterday in the
Looming amphibian with which he
expects to start service.
He said he will act as his own
pilot at first, later turning the con-
trolls over to Hugh Wells, now
Fokker test pilot. AS the service ex-
pands he will add more amphibian
planes, he said.
Chamberlin expects to make his
landing in the Hudson River at
eightieth ST., New York, and in the
Potomac River here. He then will
let down his wheels and taxi up an
inclined runway to small platform,
where his passengers will take boats
to the shore.
He expects to leave New York
daily at 1890 a. m. Eastern daylight
time, and Washington at 3 p. M,
Eastern standard time. The trip
each way will take two and one-halt
hours.
Chamberlin said all but aoout
fifty miles of the New York-Wash-
ington airline course was over water
and that amphibian rather than
land planes were necessary to pro-
tect passengers.

Indianapolis is the home of the
finest piece of architectural develop

president of Butler University, in a
speech at the Indianapolis Rotary
Club luncheon Tuesday at the Clay

DR.. Alley stated that he had OBJ
tanned his information from a re-

tionally prominent New York arcfi-
tects, held recently when the new
Butler University building at Fair
view was cited as a distinctive con-
tribution to national architecture.

D. Kershner, of the school of re-
ligion, and Hilton u Brown, chair
man of the board of directors.
James A. Ross, Rotarian president,

been interested particularly in the
Butler development project and that
assets of almost $5,000,O00 are now
directly available to the institution.
"The new Butler will have a
capacity for 500 more students than
the 1000 limit of the Irvington col
lege," Brown said.

SEEKING A TRADE

Learning trade at school is
fifteen times as popular now as
it was ten years ago when the
Washington public schools first
introduced vocational training. In
1913 there were but 1878 pupils
enrolled in the training classes;
last year the total was 43.515.
The start was made in Is schools,
5 of which had classes in agri-
culture, in home economics and
z in trades and industries. Now
vocational training is part of
the course in most public schools.
Outside the farm classes the
girls have made greater progress
than the boys. At the outset only
211 classes took home economics
seriously enough to enroll for
training; last year there were H.
sos entered, or 55 times the orr
ginal number ten years ago. The
enrolment first number. Trades
and industries enrolment grew
from 1892 to "a ,495 pupils.
Girls may claim greater perse-
verance for the sake of the train
ing than the boys of the agri-
cultural classes, for: the federal
government paid $175,889.53 fol

AS WE SEE 1T

IN news story contributed to
= this paper last week by the
Changers, the remark was made
that perhaps petty thievery in this
county can be stopped by means
of an educational campaign on the
part of the newspapers aad auto
mobile owners. While we should
like very much to have such thiev-
cry stopped, we doubt the effec-
tiveness of any such plan. Anyone
who does not know that it is
wrong to steal is devoid of brains,
conscience, or sense of COED or
bad and would not learn if they
should live to be as old as Methu-
selah and be exposed to an "edu-
cational campaign" 365 days a
year.
Many times in the past this pa
per has expressed it's opinion of
those who steal. The safe cracker
is a nobleman compared with the
fellow who takes spare tires, gas,
and automobile parts from cars
at night. One would not care much
to loose an old spare occasionally,
but one finds driving twenty miles
on a rim extremely distasteful.
Five gallons of gas would not
break anyone around here # such

dants can find it again. The wire

A FEW WORDS ON CAUTION

: !
DE careful! Be careful! The
words are heard on every
hand. Be careful says mother. Be
careful says the safety engineer
Be careful says the traffic Of
ficer. Be careful says the physi-
clans Yet a very few people real
ly are careful.
In Kennewick we now have
Kennewick Avenue, Washington
Street, and Riverside Avenue set
aside as arterial highways. Before
entering one Of these a vehicle
should come to complete stop.
This merely method, and good
one, TO enforce carefulness. If one
obeys the laws and stops there
will be many less accidents.
The fire and explosion which
occurred last week at the Twin
City Poultry farm was one of the
most horrible things that ever
happened in Kennewick. If every
one involved had been careful it
would have been averted., Dozens
of similar accidents happen every
day that little forethought would
prevent.
People. however, will not be
careful all the time. Sooner or la
ter there is minute when they
are off guard, an instant of for
getfulness, and after that one
minute is often forever too late.

IRRESPONSIBLE DRIVERS

1T is reported that automobile
4 insurance rates are to be boost
ed again because juries have been
so liberial in their awards in dam
age suits as to exhaust reserve
funds. And an insurance expert
has been quoted to the effect that
drivers are less careful when in
sured.
1t is important now that agita-
ton for compulsory insurance is
wide-spread-some states have al
ready resorted to it-that trust
worthy data be gathered as to the
truth of the latter representation.
One state, where compulsory au-
tomobile insurance is in effect,
denies accidents have increased,
Out the SURVEY should be more
comprehensive.
It is difficult to believe that an
insured motorist is more willing
to risk life and limb because of be-
ing protected against pecuniary
loss than. one who is not insured
But if he is, laws can be so draft
ed as to make it difficult or inn
poss BILE for reckless drivers to Sc
cure insurance at all, thu; auto
matically ruling them off the
highways.
The purpose of compulsory in
sura nee is to assure that persons
v.ho ause automobile accidents
shall be financially responsible for
the damage they cause. In humid
reds of cases the injured person
brings suit only to find the de-
fendant has neither insurance no1
property. And it is usually the
man of no propar.y who carries
heller property damage nor pub
lie liability insurance on his cal;
If compulsory insurance is moi
the best plan it Is up to motorists
to show why and present a better

THE THINNING ROLL

U,HIS year Memorial Day will
L find the pensioned veterans of
the Civil war reduced to fewer
than $4,000. In March 1888 of
them died and April began with
the rapidly thinning ranks reduc-
ed to $4,000.
There is now no Civil war vet
eran on the pension roll under the
age of so years so the nation mast
be reconciled to the loss of most
of these venerable and levered
survivors during the next decade.
From now on the grim reaper will
redouble his efforts. Each year
the Memorial Day roll call since
the preceding May 80 grows long
er. 1855
1t was not until 1898 that the
pension roll reached its peak with
745,822 pensioners. Due to added.
benefits the peak in pension pay
ments $141, 377,515 was not reach
ed until 1928. Since then the de-
cline has been rapid.
Pension figures for the Civil
war give the nation some idea
what the World War will cost
through the veterans bureau. The
government is already spending
many millions for the care and
treatment of disabled veterans,
and if history repeats Itself. as
it is likely to, the peak of this
expenditure will not be reached
for two or three decades.
The peak pension list for the
Civil war did not come unutil
more than thirty years after the
war and the peak pension payment
did not come until twenty-five
years later. The last survivor Of
the Revolutionary war died April
5, 1869. On May Is, 1905, the last
survivor of the war of 1872 died

of the war with Mexico. Some
who served overseas in 1917 and
