DOUGLAS NEVIS
MEMORIAL DAY FITTINGLY
 OBSERVED IN DOUGLAS

Sponsored by the Douglas Island Woman's Club, one of the most elaborate demonstrations of tribute to the nations dead was held here yesterday in observing Memorial Day. During the exercises all places of business were closed, and both Treadwell and Douglas were well represented at the ceremonies.
 At 10:30 o'clock in the morning, the program of appropriate and well arranged numbers was given. Occupying the stage with Acting Mayor F. A. J. Gallwas, represent ing the city, were Mrs. Rose Davis and Mrs. c. A. Fox representing the Woman's Club; Rev c. E. Rice, MT. L. D. Hammock, Felix Gray, Span- ish War Veterans; H. L. Mcconnell. G. Niles and Glen Kirkham, veter- ans of the World War.
 The services opened with pre- Jude by John Niemi, song by the audience, address by MT. Hammock, selection by male quartet, and bene- diction by Rev. Rice.
 In his address, MT. Hammock paid high tribute to the nations flag and the virtue and principle for which it stands. In remem- bering the soldier dead of the coun- try, he said i've must not forget the mothers and widows who made the greatest sacrifices by giving their loved ones as well as their own lives, in service"
 Immediately following the exer- cises a procession was formed in front of the theatre and went to the wharf and thence to the ceme- tery, placing flowers upon water and graves. Five floats, one for the soldiers, Campfire girls, musi- clans, children, and firemen, were included in the parade, making it one of the most ostentatious in many years.

THE BAT" MYSTIFIES
 COLISEUM AUDIENCES

"The Bat" which opened at the Coliseum last night and is on again tonight, is frankly a mystery rnelodrama, and frankly, it mysti- fies. You may watch it at any point and you cannot possibly tell who is the guilty person in the great crime problem until the pro- ducer' crashes to your aid. Circum- stantial evidence points first to one person and then to another. You mistrust and doubt everyone in turn, as a clever dramatic switch points the finger of guilt in some other quarter,
 There is big cast including Jewel Carmen, Jack Pickford, Louise Fazenda, Emily Fitzroy, Rob ert McKim, Eddie Gribbon, Tullio Carminati, Andre Beranger, Charles Herzinger, Lee Shumway, Arthur Houseman and Sojin, Oriental char acter actor.

A Contribution to Aviation.

Those who look askance at the
records for safety in the sky and
prefer instead to let their minds dwell
on crashes and crack-ups are urged to
scan the career of one e. Hamilton Lee,
an air mail pilot out Of the Chicago
district. The other night Pilot Lee conn
pleted one and quarter million miles
In the air and he is being appropriately
feted by his fellow airmen. Flying for
sixteen years Lee has never had q seri-
Gus accident and with nearly thirteen
thousand hours aloft he holds the I'M
disputed championship for pilots.
1t is a far cry from records like
this to foolhardy flying that discourases
public confidence in aviation. Compare
an aggregate mileage of safe flying Of
sixty times around the world to the
aviator who ANONYMOUSLY crashes in
an endeavor to get his overloaded
plane OF the ground to establish a
spectacular dangerous record. May
we have more flyers like Lee, who con-
tribute to public confidence. and fewer
who promote public dismay!

The Presidents Gun Regatta,

With the presentation by President
Hoover recently Of the Presidents Cup
TO Richard r. Hoyt Of New York, WASH
ingtonians are reminded that this city
was the scene last month of one of the
major water sporting events of the
world. The huge gold bowl, emblematic
of exceptional speed on the water, will
remain in Mr.. Hoyt's possession for one
year. It will again be placed in COM
petition next September II the residents
Of this city lend the same support that
they did to this years regatta.
1t is an unfortunate fact that only
the persistence and enthusiasm Of q
comparatively few persons has made
possible the staging Of a stirring water
spectacle. These enthusiasts have
lsbored untiringly to bring to the
Nations Capital a strictly amateur con-
test that has thrilled and entertained
thousands. Every person in the city
should be heartily back of the Chesa-
peake Power Boat Association in its
efforts to promote Washington as a
water sport center. The Navy, the
Coast Guard and even the President of
the United States lend their assistance
and the regatta Of q month ago should
be the last In which the question Of
raising a small fund should be q
menace to future meets In this city.

A Literary Shrine,

When Clement Moore sat down in his
peaceful room at 42s West Twenty-third
street . good many years ago and
penned the poem entitled The Night
Before Christmas" he little thought
Of the turmoil that would rage about
that quiet dwelling in the month Of
october In the year 1929. When all
through the house not creature was
stirring, not even q mouse" he wrote.
That was doubtless quite true then Of
Number 42e. It stood on what was at
that time, In 1914, placid street Of
uptown New York. 1t was one Of a
row Of elegant" four-story houses
known as London Terrace, set well back
from the street, guarded by >dignified
iron fences, ornamented with chaste
iron porch ratings and balcony embel-
lishments. For many years that row has
stood as Q relic Of the Victorian period
Of New York's development. Now 1t
has been all razed, save Number 429.
The entire block has gone but that
single slim structure. Outside in the
street are assembled the forces Of de-
struction, eager to complete the job Of
clearing the site for q huge apart
ment house that Is to cost around
5000 900. But inside of 42s sits a
determined woman, who holds SUBJ
lease Of the house that will not expire
until next June. The holder OF the
first lease has sold out to the con-
struction company, but Mrs. Hart the
sublessee, does not recognize that sale,
and is sitting tight. Court orders have
been issued against her. Summons in
eviction have been served. Still she
sits tight, refuses TO bulge, defies the
builders and the law, and waits for q
physical entrance and forcible eiec-
ton, which nobody seems willing t
undertake Her water supply has beer

Glorious Washington Weather.

The National Capital has managed to
survive the jeers Of envious citizens of
other communities who have taken
filings at her type of weather and comes
again to another Autumn season.
The plain truth Is that Washington
enjoys q particularly fine brand of
weather, deriving it mainly from the
sea breezes which sweep across this
entire section OF the country.
The salt tang is lost out of 1t by the
time this community Is reached. but an
intangible something is left in it, which
invigorates and intensifles life. Maybe
that is one reason why lawyers from
other cities become statesmen when
they reach Washington.
The slurs against Washington
weather began with the founding Of the
city, or even before. as competing cities
tried-unsuccessfully-a bit Of propa-
sanda.
Such things die hard. Even today
