4 GLORIOUS AGE

Add Kngsford-Smith and his dauntless to
the list of immortal knights of the air who have plo
neered to aid the progress of mans latest means OF
transportation.
If the feat of the brave Australian in taking his
plane from Oakland to Honolulu deemed a glori-
adventure, how much glorious is yesterdays
splendid jump from the Hawaiian Islands to the Fills.
Millions followed the progress of the Southern
Cross chow well she is named yesterday, reading and
hearing with bated breath the radio dispatches so
swiftly reayed from the plane itself to all parts of the
world.
There is every reason to believe that Kingsford
Smith and his companions learned much that will be
of assistance to those future avators who will follow
the trail they have blazed the wide wastes OF
the Pacific
A few years ago many lamented that we are v-
ing in a horribly dull age, with all the adventure and
locked in the pages of books Instead we find
that we living in the most glorious age of all.
Lindbergh, Byrd, wilkins, De Pinedo, Koeh, Fitz-
1naurice-a host of others. Where in history
read of daring adventures than these men have
gone through? And far from being dead, they are
alive and ready to add to their fame.
Nothing prosaic about this second quarter Of the
twentieth century. 1t started off with bang and 1t
continues to keep banging. Before it has closed all
the wonderful work of these pioneer aviators will,
perhaps, insignificant in the light of later ex-
poits by them and their successors But their present
glory is tremendous and though passing time may dim
it they are certain of their places in history

pride over the splendid work of their nephews.

4 TRUE SCOTT

The pages of history record no more heroic action
than that of IA year old Boy Scout who Sunday gave
his life near Los Angeles in vain attempt to
younger brother from drowning
third brother asserts that when Charles McKnet
plunged in to the aid of his brother, he said IF don't
come out tell mother l died right Whether he actu-
ally said the words is immaterial. The thought
there without question.
And what beautiful thought it is for that mother
to cherish in her bitter hour of double bereave-
ment Without hesitation, this youngser acted he
knew his mother would have him act even though it
called for him to risk his life. boy in years yet
he was man, seeing his duty clearly and doing it
afraid.
In all probability this boy would have acted as
he did no matter what his environment happened to
be. At the same time there is doubt that his Boy
Scout training and his Boy Scout pledge aided him in
making his instantaneous decision. He in his Boy
Scout uniform when his duty called him.
True 1t is tragic to have young life like this
snuffed out suddenly. On the other hand there is
something glorious about it. Charles McKnet's hero
ism should be everlasting of pride to every
youth in the land, particularly to his brother Scouts.
He is past the need of tribute but like to think of
him lying still in his Scout uniform beside the
brother he tried to save, and wish could bend
to whisper in his ear We'll done, Buddy, sleep
peacefully"
