Use of Nicknames
For Cities DeplOred
From the Seattle Daily Times.

From the Seattle Daily Times.
San Francisco's efforts to discourage
the use of the nickname Frisco" have
the sympathy and cooperation Of
Seattle. It Is seldom or never that the
people of this city offend in that partic-
llar, and when they do it may be
chargeable to newcomers rather than
to older residents.
Long ago it became known here
that San Francisco objected to the in
appropriate abbreviation OF its euphoni-
Gus name. Such use of it as was made
in early days was abandoned entirely
There is strict rule against the use
of the vulgarism in the offices Of well
edited newspapers.
The people of San Francisco have
pointed out that their city was named
for st. Francis of Assist. To shorten
or condense the Spanish form of the
name to Frisco" is an insult to the
memory of a gentleman who is revered
by many.
It is a habit Of slangy persons or
those careless of their speech to clip
the names of cities. Chicago is
shortened to "Chy," and Los Angeles to
Loss" AS with most Slangy express
sions. popularity soon dies out. There
is nothing quite so tiresome as obsolete
slang. And the same is true of nick
names for cities. If it ever were con-
sidered smart to speak Of San Francisco
as Frisco" that time long since has
passed. We might forgive the offense
in such silly songs as Casey Jones'
who was "goin' to reach Frisco" but
it is inexcusable in everyday speech.
Seattle has escaped the attentions of
the makers of jargon. The name pre-
sents difficulties hard to overcome. We
may be thankful that Seattle is Seattle
the world over.

Franklin Roosevelt's New Role.

When the New York Democrats, at
the urgent instance of Gov. Smith, pre-
vailed upon Franklin D. Roosevelt to
leave the retirement which he had
sought for physical recuperation to &C
cept the nomination for the governor
ship, 1t was little thought that it was
laying foundation for national party
reorganization. Yet that is what is now
on the cards. Mr. Roosevelt was one of
the few Democratic successes of the
campaign. He carried the State of New
York while the governor himself lost it
for the presidency. This achievement
was due to his personal popularity, his
eminent qualifications and his freedom
from any entangling alliances. 1mme-
diately he was acclaimed as the man of
the hour, qualified to assume the ma
tional leadership. Gov. Smith shortly
after election declared that he was
through with politics, that he was going
to retire to business career and that
others must carry on the political task
Tomorrow night he will by radio ad-
dress the country on the subject OF the
Democratic outlook and the duty that
lies before the members Of that party,

Road Speed in Virginia.

Lessons of Zeppelin
Trim Held Important

From the Lincoln State journal
When the Graf Zeppelin arrived back
at its home port DR.. Hugo Eckener,
commander, frankly admitted that he
now knows that airships must be made
stronger. His experiences on the trip
taught him that. In their present form
they are all right for experimental trips,
but for commercial usage they must be
improved. I'VE must work to improve
the instrument" Dr. Eckener said.
The receipts for the entire voyage
are estimated at S245,000 and the oper-
ating cost was something over 100000
plus the cost of the broken fin. How
ever, the airship is entitled to some
think over $4,000 as its share OF the
postage on the cargo of mail. This rate
of return on an investment OF more
than a million dollars IS considered fair.
But it must be remembered that people
cannot always be found that will pay
$4,000 for passage over the Atlantic,
or can a cargo of mail at such high
postage rate be obtained regularly.
AS far as flying goes: disregarding
the commercial aspects, the experiment
was remarkable. The ship flew some
$500 miles. On the trip over 1t DEM
onstrated its ability to navigate though
damaged and on the return 1t
made record-breaking time despite the
fact 1t had to battle through a storm
area. DR.. Eckener points out. much
progress must be made before dirigible
ocean navigation can be called a sue
cess, but at the same time the lessons
learned on the recent voyages VIII go
a long way toward overcoming obstacles
yet encountered,

Metal Apparel as Armor

BY E. E. FREE, PHI. ID.

Clothes of metallic aluminium. water

out the heat in hot weather as the
aluminium paint on Zeppelin airship

In Germany as the result of new, fex-
ible fabrics containing layers of metallic
foil. Thin sheets of aluminium, like
gold foil or tin foil. are coated on both
sides with protective material resem-
bling the plastic substances used in

suit is fabric almost as light as silk.
as tough as thin leather, as waterproof
as rubber and as bright and heat-re-
flecting as aluminium. Umbrellas, rain
coats, even dresses or business suits,
may be made of these fabrics. German
experts assert, and at even lower costs
than similar articles made of ordinary
cotton or wool. The sheets of thin,
flexible metal add strength to the plas-
tic materials which coat it, and these
reciprocate by protecting the aluminium
from corrosion by water or air. Strik-
ing gowns for women and beautiful eff
fects in household decoration are OBJ
tainable, it is reported. not only with
the silvery aluminium fabric, but with
others made by coating thin sheets Ct
gold, copper or other metals in the same
way. Tents, sunshades and beach
robes of the aluminium fabric are ex-
pected to be popular next Summer be-
cause of their heat-repelling abilities,
however binding their mirrorlike bril-
lance may be to unlucky bystanders.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

If one reads, he ought to read; II he
listens. he ought to listen.
Science has not changed this attitude
of man whit. If anything it has in
tensified 1t. by introducing scientific
ideas and methods into places where
haphaZard beliefs, thoughts and ideals
existed before.

One must listen to music with the
mind as we'll as with the cars: that is
why 1t is impossible for one to respect
it and give it only such perfunctory
audience as is accorded while trying to
read book at the same time.
Respect is the true secret of the mat
ter. AS long as one merely accepts
music as curious sort of noise. he will
fail to respect it. When he reaches the
point in his self-education-and that,
after ALL is what life is-Where he dis
covers that it takes intelligence to make
music, he will realize that he must
listen with all his ears. figuratively
speaking, in order to do justice to either
music or himself.
Personal experience with some musi-
cal instrument gives man this respect;

When he next goes to hear some IA

that this is magic.
Reading demands that when one
reads he should read.
Music asks that when one listens he

Heaven knows that no ones powers

Many who would admit the first part
of this proposition might question the

true as the other
The trouble is that many do not real

sition as we'll as an artistic one.
