this contest stands forth as exceptional

perhaps in consequence of these factors
OF unusual questions and vigor of prose-
cution, it is unprecedented. A compila-
ton OF the returns of registration in
the States discloses that all records are
broken. and that the largest number of
votes will be cast week from tomorrow
ever recorded in the country. The total
OF the registered voters Is set down, in
summary of actual records and closely

was no intimation that the start would

Signer and navigator, evidently decided
That conditions were propitious to begin

Capt Eckener wisely decided that he
might be placing the safe return of the
ship to Germany in jeopardy If he sub
jected it to the buffeting of the winds
on a junket.
When the big ship left Lakehurst last
night its damaged I'm had been re-
paired, its cells were refilled with fresh
hydrogen for lifting power and with
'blau gas" for fuel for the five motors.
Two-thirds of each gas cell contains
hydrogen. while the other third is re-
served for the fuel gas, which weighs
approximately the same as air. to run
the motors. LaSt-minute passenger lists
were given out and those on board this
pioneer of sky transportation settled
themselves for the long trip.
While it took the Zeppelin nearly one
hundred and twelve hours to make the
Westward voyage, DR.. Eckener expects
that with the wind on its tail no more
than fifty or seventy-five hours will
elapse before the ground crew at Fried
will ease the ship into its
berth.
Whatever the time taken to reach
Germany, however, there will be no

public interest has been aroused at an
increasing rate with the progress of the
campaign, and there Is reason to look
for larger percentage of registrants

usually the case. The same factors of
stimulation and arousal that caused
more than $4,000, 900 to register, an in

send them to the polls next week at an
unprecedented rate.

Tribute to Macdonald MARRIED
BY Thought Tragedy Was Futile

Warm tribute is paid by the Ameri-
can press to the magnificent daring of
Lieut.. Comdr. H G. Macdonald, the
young British naval officer who dis
appeared in an attempt to fly the At
antic alone in tiny airplane. although
many observers regret what they regard
as useless sacrifice of valuable life in
such adventures.
THE truth probably is" in the
opinion of the Charleston Evening Post,
that the public enthusiasm for the
achievement of transatlantic flying
virtually blew itself out in the celebra-
ton of Lindbergh. the volume and in
tensity of which, it almost seems. must
have surprised even those who were
most delirious at the moment and who
must sometimes wonder why the thrill
cannot be recaptured. Perhaps it was
out of all proportion to the actual value
OF the achievement, save as an exhibit
of supreme human courage and self
confidence and of amazing endurance,
but these. of course, have moral value
which is not to be estimated"
Further reference to the Lindbergh
example is made by the Hartford Cou-
rant with the suggestion that while
MacDonald's venture may have looked
reckless to many observers, it did not
bergh's looked when that fine young
man was winging his way toward
France. Nor should it be forgotten that
not all Lindbergh's skill and experience
would have saved him from death had
his motor gone dead while he was far
from ship or a practicable landing
place. 1t is to be hoped" continues the
Courant, that this flight will not en-
courage agitation to prevent aviators
from making whatever experiments they
choose to make. Their lives arc their
own. and they should be allowed to use
them as they will. Unless they are
left free of restrictions the progress of
aviation will be seriously hampered."

Similarly the Elmira Star Gazette
argues: He knew the danger he faced,
but took sporting chance Such
chances do not appeal to most men,
sitting safe at home: nor is the value
of the end to be attained in another
flight clear. Yet the
world owes too much to men to whom
danger acts only as a spur to venture
criticism of such gallant Adventures
who play the game with their lives at
stake"

The Big Day.
There must be agitation
And moments filled with care,
AS through this mighty Nation
The ballots all prepare.
And yet, there's joy complacent
Defying the dismay.
For, there Is joy adjacent;
Next comes Thanksgiving day.
There must be wrath surprising;
There must be rough reproof,
With discords oft arising
That nearly raise the roof.
But Autumn always finds us
Still smiling on our way.
The calendar reminds us,
Next comes Thanksgiving day.

g. When were fire alarm boxes first
used i'll America?-C. r. w.
A. Methods of transmitting news of
fire are very old and until about the
middle of the nineteenth century
watch towers with alarm bells were
maintained in American cities. After
the development of the electric tele-
graph, reliable apparatus was installed.
As early as 1345 DR.. w. F. Charming
Of Boston published an article in the

graph system. In 1850 Charles Rob-
| inSon used Morse apparatus for signal
ing fire alarms from police stations

to watchmen at tower bells, who sound
ed the signal of the appropriate dis
trict. A telegraph signal plan was put
into operation in Boston April 90, 1862.
