 She is the fourth in a family of six and there was no end of rejoic- ing in the family when little Stella arrived home apparently all we'll.

As soon as she became better her longing for home gradu- ally increased and every time her parents visited her she asked to be taken home. and finally left to the care of the nurses with a promise that she would be taken home with in the next few days.

A Short Platform

The suggestion has been made by a number of the
democratic leaders that the party platform to be sub
mitted at the Houston convention be merely . deelara-
ticn of party principles and that the great mass Of
~vsrbiage which almost invariably characterizes such
platforms be eliminated.
The suggestion is worthy Of consideration. As a
rule both major parties adopt platforms which are
more evasive than declarative, and in the mass Of
words the voters often find an Interpretation far dif-
ferent from that intended by those who drafted the
resolutions. A lengthy platform is generally regarded
with a certain degree of suspicion, not always un-
justified.
The democratic party this year will present two
outstanding issues, elimination Of corruption in ma
tional affairs and equalization Of the tariff, accepting,
IN part at least, the protective theory. Certain es-
ments will endeavor to make the equalization fee Of
the AeNary-HaGgen bill an issue and others will an
deavor to inject the prohibition question into the plat
form. On ta equalization fee the convention will
doubtless be as strongly opposed to its acceptance as
was the Kansas City convention, and the prohibition
question, if it is permitted to be made an issue, will
merely serve to excite suspicion and distrust upon the
part Of the voters on both sides Of the question.
A cleareut declaration Of principles, e~mbOdying the
fundamentals Of the democratic program, will have far
more appeal to the voters of the country than a lengthy
preamble on cause and effect with a final declaration
of the partys view. Such platforms are almost inva-
riably couched in language so ambiguous. that they are
virtually meaningless. and have no effect upon the
average voter.
Efforts were made prior TO the Kansas City con-
vention TO secure general acceptance of q short plat
form, but the party leaders were not impressed. They
held the view that the party should set out at length
its proposed program and 20 into detail in regard to
its adherence 70 the Coolidge policies. The result is
q platform that is evasive upon the fundamental is
sues, a platform that has brought the opposition Of
the farmer vote of the Northwest and is distrusted by
he rank and file Of the East.
II the democrats present to the voters Of the coun-
try a platform they can readily understand. one that
is clear and concise in its declarations. it will prove a
very valuable factor in scouting support foI demo-
cratic policies and democratic candidates.

Urges Interest in Aviation

Business men as well as private citizens the coun-
try over should keep well abreast of the rapid ad-
vanees in aircraft design and dependability since the
a~irplane, in the near future. will take its place as an
important adjunct to the automobile in commerce and
industry as well az in Sng distance passenger trans
portation.
Such is the opinion Of c. NJ. Williams, president
of the Marmon Motor Car company. Many people,
said Mr.. Williams, "are prone to confine their entire
interest in aviation to trans-oceanic flights, endurance
tests and so-caled stunt flying. All of these. of course,
have their proper place in the development Of air
travel and it is an important place. indeed, as the
splendid achievements Of our now famous ocean fliers
will bear evidence.
But the rapid growth in commercial flying that
has accompanied the improvements in the design and
dependability Of modern aircraft is scarcely realized BY
til average citizen. Even now the airplane is in a
more advanced stage than was the automobile at the
time Of the Glidden tours in 1905, and the annual ma
tional air sour in which ~airplane manufacturers com
pete shows, year by year. how air travel is progress
ing TO a safe. sound and highly practical basis.
"The immediate future Of aviation, to my mind, lies
in The continued establishment of regular passenger
and commercial air routes between points that are not
quickly accessible by train or automobile because the
distance is too great or because Of Typographical hind
RANGES. There are still numerous drawbacks to practi-
cal air travel over short distances, mainly the increas-
ing number of good roads which have speeded automo-
bile travel and the lack of landing fields Of sufficient
sire and situated conveniently to the business centers
Of cities and towns. For the present, at least, the auto
mobile and the airplane will continue to serve their
respective fields Of commerce and pleasure with neither
aetrseting from the usefulness and popularity Of the
other"

can DOGS COMMUNICATE IDEAS!

CAN DOGS COMMUNICATE IDEAS?
Every dog owner must have Won
dered at some time just how far
dogs can 20 in communicating ideas
with one another. Evidently n
dog can entice another to follow
him and perhaps vaguely assure him
Of a worthy project, but it Is doubt
full If he can explain the exact pur-
pose OF their expedition. As Lloyd
Morgan puts il:
"A dog may be able to suggest to
his companion the fact that he has
found a worryable cat, but can any
dog tell his neighbor of the delight
full time he had worrying a cat the
day before yesterday? / imagine
that a dog can tell his neiEhbor only
what we symbolic by the simple ex-
preston, Come"
More than one story has been told
OF a little dog going TO seek aid Oh
a big dog friend 70 come and help
fight a third dog, too large for the
little dog to whip unaided.
Even aside from sign language
dogs seem to be able TO impart ideas
in unmistakable terms. When drlv-
ing with my dog in an automobile.
and we pass other dogs, most o.
whom bark at him, he ordinarily
pays little heed to them. But an oe-
casional dog-and ! have one big
black dog especially in mind-barks
something nc him. evidently Of an
obscene nature. that irritates him be-
yond endurance and he tries his
best 10 jump out Of the car 20 de-
fend his honor. I have wondered
many times what it could be that a
strange dog says to him that 80 in
furiates him.
IL il a common occurrence for a
dog to come and place a stick or
stone in his masters hand 70 let
him know that he desires the stick
or stone to be thrown that he may
chase it and get exercise as well as
practice in retrieving.
Many stories have been told OF
dogs going after help and persuad-
ing total strangers TO follow when
