Superhonesty.

II Diogenes had had his lantern

lars on the street. She took 1t prompt
Iy 70 the Police Department. It has
reposed there, unclaimed, for the all
lotted time, and she has been notified
that she may now take it as her own.
Her reply TO this offer Is the most
amazing aspect Of the case. and
Diogenes himself. who searched vsinly
for an honest man, would probably keel
over in a faint. She said that she
could not take 1t because 1t did not
belong 10 her.
Such superhonesty is hard 10 be-
lieve, but tt is a fact. This woman
would probably have received no re-

EQUAL Punishment.

Now that Capt. K. G. B. Dewar. for
merly In command OF the battleship
Royal Oak. and his subordinate, Comdr.
Daniel, have been convicted of conduct
preiudicial to discipline In the British
NAVY because the latter wrote and the
former forwarded letter calling atten-
ton to the actions of Rear Admiral b.
ST. G. Collard at jazz dance given ON
the battleShip, the public is wondering
when the admiral will be brought up
on similar charges So far tnere has
been no move in this direction by the
British admiralty. but to the unprej-
udiced observer 1t would appear that
Admiral Collard wss richly deserving
of the same punishment meted out to
his subordinates.
In the fatcful letter which Comdr,
Daniel wrote, Admiral Collard is ac-
crsed OF publicly berating the band
master aboard the Royal Oak because
he did not think the music was peppy
enough of insisting that officers dance
with the admiral's invited guests, and OF
humiliating and insulting the ships
company on his departure from the
battleship The incident stirred wids
publicity. and the court-martial Of the
Junior officers was the result.
Naval discipline must, of course be
maintained, and there is no doubt that
Capt Dewar and ComdT. naniei were
technically guilty in the lc'tcr-writine
episode. But certainly the conduct Of
ranking officer should be above re-
proach at all times, and from nncon-
tradicted accounts OF the happenings
aboard the Royal Oak IT would stem
that Admiral Collard was equally
guilty in melting almost a mutiny
aboard the ship If anything. he was
more guilty than his suborcirates, be-
cause he was the aggressor Throughout.
The admiral should by all means be
called to account for his behavior.

Movies Sent by Wire.

; Extraordinary work is being done in
| the matter of the transmission OF pic
lures over long distances, At 1880
o'clock wednesday morning a motion
picture was taken in Chicago, was
transmitted by wire to New York and
was shown on 8 screen in that city
the same evening nine hours later. I'M
mediatsly after being taken in Chicago
the Aim was developed, dried and cut
into six-inch strips. which were pasted
three in a group between glass plates
and these plates were then rephoto-
Sraphed. The resultant positive films
were at once placed on the sending
machine and by noon they were being
received in the New York studio of the
American Telephone g. Telegraph Co.,
coming, 1t is stated, at speed five
times faster than Lindbergh could have
carried them East and ten times more
rapidly than transportation by the
fastest train would afford The actual
transmission Of the ten feet OF Aim
exposed In Chicago occupied two hours.
In New York these films were then
reproduced in continuous-Strip form in
time for display at the first evening
performance at q Manhattan theater.
This is a distinct advance in pho
tographic transmission. The reproduc-
tions In New York were slightly fainter
than the originals taken In Chicago
The difference. however, was not ma
terial, and 1t is believed that with fur
ther development OF the apparatus the
screen showing of films sent by wire
can be made as distinct as those trans
ported physically.
The electric transmission Of still"
photographs has been brought to a
high point of effectiveness Recently
pictures of the California dam disaster
were reproduced in Eastern newspapers
the day following. They were cl>ar,
distinct presentations of the wreckage
and gave a vivid idea Of the catastro-
phe Indeed, these long distance pic
ture transmissions have become ac-
cepted as a part of the regular news
paper illustration service. So rapid has
been the development Of this facility
that little wonderment is now expressed
at such feats as that just mentioned.
This advance in film transmission
viii probably speed up the news reels
that now form part of most cinema
entertainments. The happenings Of the
world may be flashed before the eyes
Of countless millions in motion form
IN a very few hours after the events.
II is not too much TO believe that, with
the successive developments in labora-
tories. in a short space Of time motion
pictures of news events In Europe, and
perhaps even in Asia, viii be shown in
this country within twenty-hour hours
after occurrence.

Not an InternatiOnalist.
To the EDITOR of The Star:

10 the EDITOR OF Inc star
In The Evening Star of March l6 an
argument made by me before the House
committee on the judiciary was quoted.
In 1t I was commenting upon the fact
that gentlemen who appeared before the
House committee opposing national rep
resentation for the District of Columbia,
and speaking as Washingtonians. were
some OF them persons who had not long
been residents OF Washington and had
lived a number of years abroad. In this
connection and in replying TO comments
made by Mr. DemareSt Lloyd upon the
experience of another nation. referred
to him as another internationalist"
/ had in mind only that Mr.. Lloyd
and the other "internationalist" had not
the point of view of those Of us who
have. lived most of our lives here. The
context will show that what / said was
a fair argumentative comment on what
Mr.. Lloyd had said. and that only the
intended meaning and none other,
would have supported our argument.
Friends Of Mr.. Lloyd have pointed out
that the term "internationaliSt" has
conrotation. radicalism-perhaps. due
to the phrase third internationale." at
Moscow.
The word "internationalist" has no
such meaning to met was not 50
used-and I had no thought OF attrib-
uting to Mr.. Lloyd any leaning. toward
radicalisrn. or even extreme liberality OF
political view.
This letter, and my request to you to
print 1t, is not occasioned by any pres
sure from Mr.. Lloyd or his friends. but
by our desire to avoid hurting any one
in carrying on our fight for national
representation for the District, in which
what We needsmost Is 10 make our posi-
ton perfectly clear. PAUL z. LESH.

PHILOSOPHERS
BY
GLENN FRANK

The big fact In a baby's life is the
wall Of protection that Is thrown
about it,
It knows neither the dangers nor the
delights of independence.
T.. v. Smith. in his stimulating vol
ume on THE American Philosophy OF
Equality" paints this vivid picture OF
the protected life Of the infant:
THE human individual, created ini-
TALLY by a group act, is dependent upon.
the group through an ever-lengthening
infancy for all that he has, Is, or is TO
become.
THE harsher physical environment
that would bring him death in day
or so mediated for him by social in
huences as to turn what otherwise were
an inevitable doom into heaven OF
love fairer than. the most enchanted
fantasy.
"His (the infants) food is warmed
and sweetened IL not predigested Tor
him.
His clothing is softcned
His random movements are consti~
tuted repertoire on royal stage
where every gesture is enthusiastically
encored.
I'm his world, fre is hot but never
burns.
winter is cold. but never freezes.
Want Is pinching, but seldom
pinches. 10,
His facts are tanned down with
fancy, and his beliefs are toned up to
story form"
All this is lovely in Our helpless In
fancy. but 1t becomes dangerous when
our infancy is prolonged beyond rea-
son.
Some time the infant must become a
man, fashion his own meals, feel the
heat OF fire. the cold of Winter. and
the pinch of want. or he will stay an
infant in a mans body.
When the infant stays an infant.
mentally. we regard 1t as pitiful
abnormality: but our civilization is
more and more tending to keep up
infants by making life easier and
easier.
Every generation sees more and
more challenges removed from the life
Of the individual.
Every year there are ne" organiza-
tions and new machines that do for us
what cur great-grandfathers had to do
for themselves.
The automobile saves us from walk
ing. the dictaphone from writing, the
camera from painting, and so on.
Civilization is a doting mother that
will keep us babies forever unless we
put our minds to the central problem
of finding ever-new challenges to dis
cipline our mature powers.

They charged that the delegation OF
