Feminine Pioneers.

That women are daily becoming
more eficient in the fields heretofore
occupied exclusively by men was DEM
onStrated recently in England when
Lady Heath, BritainS foremost femi-
nine pilot, took her tiny single-seater
airplane up to a ecord-breaking alti-
tude of more than twenty-four thousand
feet, and on landing at Croydon, imme-
diately after this achievement, casually
remarked that she might have gone
higher, but that it was entirely too nippy
in the upper regions" Not only did
Lady Heath establish world record for
a light plane, but she reached the high
est level ever attained by woman
flyer.
With women driving boats at high
speed on the water, a delicate art, and
women plotting automobiles on trips of
great length, the world is not surprised
in the least at their invasion Of the
field of aviation. Although woman
fundamentally is not as mechanically
inclined as man, large percentage OF
them have overcome this handicap to
become almost as efficient as their male
competitors, and each one of these
feminine pioneers should receive the
praise that they deserve.

conditions. Under the permit-to-buy
system two or three days would elapse
between application and purchase, CIV
ing time for reflection and the passing
of the deadly impulse.
AS the law now runs the vendors of
deadly weapons are required only to
take names and addresses, which often
are false, and, having done so, they are
free Of responsibility and cannot be
prosecuted or punished. Under the per-
mit-to-buy system, which has been pro-
posed for Washington for a good many
years without effect. the vendor would
be subject to penalty for selling to a
person without q license 10 buy Such
q system would not interfere with legiti-
mate trade. 1t would interfere, however,
with trade In the interest of crime.
There should be no hesitation in the
choice OF evils In this matter. The Capt.
tai should be given the beneft of such
an effective measure st the next session
OF Congress.

The Automobile Speed Record,

Speed and more speed is to be the
slogan OF the forthcoming trip to the
United States of Mai. H. o. D. Segrave,
who once held the honor of having
driven an automobile faster than any
other human. 1t is to recapture this
title that the daring Briton Is return
ing to this country. On this trip, how
ever, Maj. Segrave will not confine his
attention solely to terra firma, but will
go after the boat record of ninety-one
knots held by George Wood of the IA
nous Wood Brothers of Detroit. On
the ship with the major will be a one
thousand horsepower automobile, with
an estimated speed OF two hundred and
sixty miles an hour, and slim racing
boat. said to be capable of better than
ninety-five knots.
The new Segrave automobile creation
Incorporates several novel features. One
of the great difficulties of high-Speed
driving IS that of steering. objects ap-
proach so fast that the operator finds
1t almost impossible to maintain q
straight course. To solve this problem
Maj. Segrave has had his car equipped
with telescope sights like rifle, and
it will be steered in much the same way
as bullet is directed to target. Two
immense targets are to be erected on
Daytona Beach, where the test will be
held, and Maj. Segrave at the begin
ming of a run will sight his telescope
on the bulls-eye at the other end of
the course and strive 10 keep his plung-
ing monster headed directly for it.
The worlds record is now held by
Ray Keech at two hundred and seven
miles an hour It was in trying to ex-
coed this mark that Frank Lockhart
was killed. This daring driver, just be-
fore the upsetting of his car, was
said to have reached the unprecedented
speed Of two hundred and twenty-five
miles an hour. The automobile which
carried him to his death was conceded
to be one of the finest pieces of motor
mechanism ever put on wheels.
The success or failure Of Maj Sc
graves quest rests with the Fates. The
laws of nature stubbornly resist efforts
Of man to raise the maximum of sur
face speed. At any event, this fast
moving world will be interested in the
Britisher's attempt, and, whatever the
result, science will gain in the lessons
of friction, wind resistance and human
endurance in the tests soon to begin.

Victorious Cripples.

For bunch of crippleS the New York

illness and injuries, two of their pitch

scores give evidence to the contrary.

Easv Guns. Easy Crimes

Within a short time Washington has
been the scene of several shocking
crimes Of passion. Men and women have
been wounded and some slain by pistol
wieIders who, imagining or magnifying
grievances, have famed in murderous
rage. They have had no difficulty what
ever in getting weapons for these at
Eacks. Any one with few dollars can
purchase deadly weapon without delay
or embarrassment or danger Of immedi-
ate detection. There is no statutory law
against their purchasing Of these weap-
ons nor against the selling Of them to
any person who gives a name and an
address. There is Federal law against
the sending Of such weapons by mail
save under certain regulations Of regis
Try, but it is ineffective when the local
market, SO to speak, is wide open for
personal armament.
What Washington needs, as do all
other communities, is law which for
BIDS the sale Of deadly weapons to per-
sons who are not licensed by public au-
thorities to possess them. 1t needs re-
strictlon upon traffic which, now vir-
tually unimpeded, contributes to the
crime records Of the Capital.

port that has come Of this encounter:
Her transformations quarters at the
Hotel Cecil were tammed with report
ers, who had been unable to find her
for several days. With all the direct
ness usually attributed In England to
American news hunters, they pried into
her personal life and persisted in know
ing how much money she makes. Mrs.
Mcpherson, whose presence In England
has met with hostility in some church
quarters. parted the intimate questions
with witticisms. The reporters had so
heavily piled on her sitting room table
that 1t finally crashed.
It must be submitted that no British
visitor to this country has ever had
quite such an experience. AT all events,
the American journalists have never
broken the furniture In their zeal for
news.

UNITED STATES
in WORLD WAR
Ten Years Ago To-day.

American forces hold their ground in
fighting west Of the Meuse that is char
acterized as perhaps the bitterest they
have yet seen. 1t Is grueling, soul
trying fighting, with the heroics and
sensationalism taken out. 80 The
best German troops have been hurled
without success against our lines, and
the enemy have machine gun for
every yards of their line. The short
front between the Argonne and the
Mouse is the one most vital to the whole
line. as an advance by the Americans
to any great depth will imperil the
whole east wing of the German salient
stretching from the sea to the MoSelle
River. French forces on the
Champagne front sweep the Germans
back. French also smash in the salient
south Of the Suippe and push onward
with the enemy In wild fiigIs, burning
villages as they go. Germany
also sends an appeal for peace. but pend
ing Its receipt all signs point to prompt
rejection by President Wilson. /"
French deride new peace move as q
trick of the enemy to mitigate defeat.
Allied soldiers enthusiasm to finish the
war is redoubled by evidence OF weak
ness shown In the enemys appeal.
Four hundred and Sixty-two
casualties given out today-1ol killed

Communism in America.

Few evidences Of Subversive prop
uganda in the United States compare
in gravity with the startling report of
Communist agitation, which has re-
Gently come into possession Of the De-
partment of State. 1t is a confidential
document issued by the Third Interna-
tionale, the revolution-sowing branch
Of the Russian Soviet government.
which specializes in spreading the doc
trine of BolShevism throughout the
"capitalistic" world.
Hitherto red activities in this country
have been confined to melting the
"proletariat" to undermine the existing
political order and to indulgence in eX-
cesses of various stripes in connection
with labor disputes. In more recent
times, as is now disclosed by the Third
Irternationale's report, it has, in addi-
ton to its activities among the Amer
lean civilian element, invaded the mill
tary and naval establishments with de-
liberately seditious agitation.
Among the Marines in Nicaragua,
among the Marines and soldiers EN-
route and in China, and even among the
Marines ard sailors in navy yards in
the United States, the Communists gloat
that they have carried on their per-
nicious work The report tells Of mass
meetings" organized in the neighbor-
hood of navy yards and Of cooperation
with the American "Kuomintang," an
alleged branch of the Chinese National
ist movement.
The Third International boasts
brazenly that ''it is the first time In the
history of the world" that the Com
munist crusade has ever been conducted
within the ranks of country's armed
forces. There is no claim by the reds
that their revolutionary zeal has pro-
duced results among the members Of
Uncle Sans defensive establishment,
but it will come as a disquieting sur
prise to the Nation that even the ef-
fort has been made on so extensive and
unabashed scale.
The United States Government, as
Secretary Kellogg has more than once
taken occasion to point out, is not un-
aware of the damnable doctrine which
Communist Russia is Sedulously preach
ing within our territory. Mr.. Kellogg
also has explained that, if there were
no other reasons for withholding the
boon of American. diplomatic recogni-
ton from the Soviet, its illegal and in
sidious maneuvers, as now glaringly re-
vealed, would of themselves demon
strate the inlpossibility of extending to
Moscow the hand of friendship and
good will which Washington stands
ready to offer to decent law-abiding
peoples everywhere.
Senator Borah, chairman of the SEN
ate committee on foreign relations, is
quoted as suggesting that Russia's adj
herence to the kellogg treaty for the
outiawry of war constitutes de facto
recognition Of the Soviet government.
It viii be interesting to know what the
distinguished Idahoan thinks of the
designs which the Moscow Communists
have upon vital branch OF the Gov
eminent Of which he is so distinguished
. member.

densation takes place, the vapor con-
densing directly into the solid state
without first going through the liquid
state. The crystals of water are hex
agonal prisms, explains the Scientific
American, and water in the crystalline
state in the atmosphere shows all the
wonderful shapes that this form Of
Capitalization can take. Having once
started the crystals may grow either
along their central axis, giving rise to
long thin prisn1S, or along their six
axes to form hexagonal plates. Some
times the growth is uniform, so that
the result Is perfect hexagonal plate;
at others the growth along the axes is
more rapid than in the space between.
