SITES
SUGGESTED

NEW YORK May 3O.-The pur-
chase, "as soon as possible" of
sites for is civil airports. in addi-
ton to the Is now existing IN
its area, is recommended in
the regional plan Of New York
and its environs. The report
states that "the scope Of air travel
is such as to stir the imagination
with its opportunities for rapid
and almost unrestricted movement"
While believing that no metropol-
itan area in the world probably will
need the equipment that the New
York region viii require in the
matter of airports, the report states
that the definite physical conditions
of airports and landing fields limits
the number Of available sites in this
region. 1t also declares there is no
reason why the landing field
should not be at some distance
from the center. IL the highway
forming the approach to it Is suffi-
GENTLY free of obstruction to per.
nit speedy travel.
Concerning the cost Of the pur--
chase of suitable sites for airports,
the report says:
Commercial aviation as a means
of providing convenient and profit
able travelling facilities will only
be successful when the high cost
of properly equipped airports Is
met. The development of the serv.
ice is likely to be hampered more
as a result of the absence of this
provision than it is by any diff
ficulties of perfecting the airplane

Summer has descended upon
Congress with a vengeance. and
with a wide variety OF results.
It has caused both Senate and

arrays of summer-weight clothes.
The floors of both chambers yes
terday were dotted at frequent
intervals with suits OF linen or
other light fabric. with haber-
dashery to match.
The Senate and House pages
have been absolved of their obliga.

the lads now are dashing around
the aisles in their shirtsleeves.

begun to work in the House, low

We do well to strive to keep
green the memory of the sacri-

reverential spirit free from all
trace of rancor. The tempo of life
in this country has become so
strenuous that we give short
shrift to the dead. We hasten
them to their last resting place
in motor vehicles-and forget
them. Wholesome is 1t, therefore,
that on one day of the year

Many Have Titles.
This democracy prides itself on
its scorn of titles of rank, titles

TINE recent collapse in wheat

belt with the mild farm relief
bill, which passed the House of
Representatives and which has
President Hoover's support.
As a. matter of fact, the setback
in grain quotations at the very
time that Congress was in special
session primarily to afford agrl-
cultural relief should tend to
shake confidence in political
remedies for economic prob

campaign. much that was I'M

the alleged responsibility Of one

which in fact springs mainly
from economic causes.

president Hoover's farm relief
program has the support of many
people throughout our district.
There is widespread feeling, how.
ever, especially among the farm

far enough. 1t is safe statement
that the majority of the farmers
in this district favor the deben-

There is a strong feeling

They feel that the Hawley bill

dent Hoover's right forearm 1t to have
an easier time of it in the future.
Prospects are bright. Some $50 dele
gates to the American Red Cross con-
vention in Washington declined the
Presidents offer to shake hands because
they wished to avert the fatigue he
would feel. Mr.. Hoover made 1t known
he was willing to greet each delegate at
the White House. AS patriotic body,
however, the Red Cross refused.
Others may take the tip. More than
likely they will not.
The privilege of shaking hands with
the President of the United States al
ways will be attractive.
Mr.. Hoover lets it be known that the
handshaking line is irksome to him.
Word went out just recently from the
White House to members of the House
and Senate that they must be more con-
siderate in sending their constituents to
the Executive Mansion.
In one day the President had greeted
Its persons and graSped their hands.
that he was able to write only with
great difficulty for some time afterward.
He felt also that the handshaking had
been a considerable strain on him.
Senators and Representatives were re-
quested to limit themselves to 10 con-
stituents at each Of the semi-weekly re-
ceptionS.
President Harding revived this prac-
t1ce after 1t had lapSed for several years.
President Coolidge continued shaking
hands with delegations of visitors at the
conclusion Of each mornings business.
Mr.. Hoover followed suit, but he very
quickly abolished the daily public recep-
tons and now receives only on Monday
and Wednesday. He has intimated that
in the near future the number will be
reduced to only one a week.
Visitors include every one from tour
lists, armed with letter of introduction
from their Representative, to whole con-
ventions. They file by the President at
the rate of 40 to so q minute,
Chief Executives have been urged re-
peatedly to abolish this public hand
shaking, on the ground that 1t imposes
an additional strain. The last three &C.
cupants of the White House, however,
have refused to listen to such pleas.
Senator Caraway, Democrat, Of
Arkansas, and Senator Watson, Re-
publican, of Indiana, met in a corridor
at the Capitol the other day and started
joShing each other.
You know, JIM" said Senator Cara
way, Il went out into Indiana during
the campaign for one purpose: to read
a speech of yours in which you said
Hoover was an EngliShman."
And did they cheer?" Watson de-
manded.
They laughed" Caraway said
And then they went right ahead and
voted for Hoover" Watson flung back
as a parting shot.
