\ HOUSE OF CARDS

If Jay E. House, former mayor of Topeka, kans., now a Philadelphia newspaper writer. is sorry for what he said about the drinking habits in Topeka it now will do little good. First, it will be remembered, he told how. on a visit to his former home town, he had liquor in 13 out of fl homes he visited. After that raised ructons, or a verbal earth quake, in Topeka and Kansas gener- ally. he took it all back saying he had only been joking. Now after everything seemed settled, the press es printing the North American Re view start grinding out the original story, written by the able MT. House. perhaps at the time he made the or iginal statement elsewhere. Small wonder that the excited governor Of Kansas sought to stop the presses by telegraph.
 House is either a fool or a hero.
 He is a fool if he really lied in the first place.
 He is q hero if, having told the truth originally, he recanted when discovering how angry his good friends in Topeka got over it, Many a man of heroic mold has preferred to shoulder blame himself rather than have his best friends sore at him. Tn the case of House this real ization might have come when re ruminated over the propriety of hlahbing about what he was served while the guest at private homes. Nothing but a prig. a pig or reptile would do such a thing, might have been the decision Of Mr. House. So, eager 10 make amends - if this hypothesis can be considered re- mote probabilty-he preferred to make the confession of having been foolish joker and try to forget It.
 If this is correct he forgot to call back the magazine article Yes, this is a forgetful world, and House has the champion bad memory.

ing field in view was not lost upon the audience. Hitherto shots" of such scenes have had to content themselves with a small part of the game and when Babe Ruth at the plate hit the ball he was quickly en- tirely out Of focus. The same effect followed a showing of Tilden win ming his seventh national champion ship-the screen not only showed 1ilden, but the entire tennis field and the crowds.
 The use of such a wide film, with it's supplementary need of special lens which records an image of greater in width and depth, and spe- cial projecting apparatus, is in sooth something of an addition to the pho toplay if not quite a revolution.
 The activities of the Fox corpora ton to parallel the innovation of the Warner brothers, who began the era of the talllies, is well know. It is the rivalry for the honors of insti- gating something new as well as the rivalry incident 10 the more prosaic results at the box office.

pOLAkD'S NEW PORT

Not many people as yet have heard Of Gdinger, Poland. That is because it is new port, a place where Marshal Pilsudski's govern- ment has expended s1o.OOO,00O to provide a suitable place for steam ships at the tip of the Polish corri- dor 10 the Baltic.
 Gdingen is not on some maps. On others it is spelled Gdynia. It is about six miles up the coast from the free city of Danzig. It is well protected harbor The Poles are proud of the new port and have q right 10 be A few years ago it was nothing more than a fishing village, Now it is real part and also a sea side resort. It has grown as fast as boom town. and it's officials are ex- tremely energetic, voluble and pleased with their work. A port is being created and it is growing so fast that those nearby can see and sense the drift
 Not being on the ground it is inn possible to determine whether the officials of Danzig look upon this new port with envious eyes, or whether they think the rival is worth considering seriously. Danzg, too, has shown astonishing revival as a port; Poland is making good use of that corridor to the sea.

TIXING THE, BLAME,

Suppose railroads allowed engin- eers to decide when it was safe to proceed along the tracks. Suppose an engineer, experienced and over confident, were to tell a station mas ter who objected to him starting- for any reason satisfactory to the station master-and he were satis- fled with the reply, i've been run ming locomotives as long as you fel- lows. Forget it.
 That is exactly the system that led to the death of Henry II. Tallman, airmail pilot for the Colonial Air Transport
 We could not lay all the blame for a railroad tragedy under such circumstances upon the engineer. but would be inclined 10 blame the railroad for permitting the engineer 10 be the judge of whether he should proceed.
 And as matter of fact, no loco motive engineer would think of pro- cecding until he received the signal to do so from the higher ups, the dispatching office.
 When Wallace Bradley an official of the L. {: H. Aircraft Corporation, lays all the blame for Tuesday nights tragedy upon Tallman he overlooks lack of system by the airmail corporation.
 Of course, Tallman was ovcr- confident; of course, he took off from Brainard field when he should not have done so.
 But the point is there was noth- ing approaching railroad discipline to prevent him. The whole business was left 10 his own sweet will.
 The aircraft industry wishes to prevent such tragedies. The way to do it is for aircraft organizations to control their pilots.

The Poles are still talking about the Polish National Exhibition which was held at Poznan last spring. Poznan is the new name of Posen. The exhibition was nearly as large as the national British exhi- bition at Wembley, and visitors who saw both say it was far prettier Considering that modern Poland is new country, politically speaking, and is still suffering from the effects of the world war, the exhibition must have been triumph and indi- eating that Poland has the will and ability to make much of her future.

CIRCULARS BY AIR MAIL

The plane which crashed on Mt. Lamentation the other night was overloaded. and according 10 postal men in Hartford 3 considerable part of the load consisted of circulars dispatched from the Eastern States exposition at sprngficld. It is dirfi- cult to determine the advantage of sending out exposition circulars by airmail except to attract the attcn- tion Of recipients, q plan that air mail officials themselves rccom- mend. The plan has nothing to com mend it. Circulars arc no more im- portant when they go forward by eirmaib and this hothouse method of boosting the airmail servioe is of dubious utility.
