PHILADELPHIA, March 2S. U.R
Calvin Coolidge, writing in the
April issue of the Ladies' Home
journal. declares that "perhapS
peace is an ideal that can come only
to future generations that are more
perfect than our own,'' but that
meantime we should "take every
prccaution to prevent war, of which
adequate defense is one.
The former President wrote on
promoting peace as the first of
a series of three articles.
"Our national defenses should not

feel we would undergo no peril in
attacking others" he wrote.
Mr. Coolidge believes our army
and navy should be ''large enough
so that others would see that there
would he a great deal of peril in

The first duty of a government
is order,' Mr.. Coolidge wrote. "We
are told it is heaven 5 first law. In
our day we have come to take order

Is very difficult to maintain, as we

warfare. Order is of the first inn
Fortance, because without it We
could have no liberty and no pro

value, every home would be insecure
and all life in danger
Mr.. Coolidge then outlines how ma

preserving order. He says tha'
preparation runs all the way from
the policeman on the corner, who i;

and navy, with their supporting

Gardening Is Classed
Among Greatest Sports

From the Richmond News Leader.
This Is the exciting season of the out
door sport in which more people are
actively engaged than in any other. 1t
is not base ball, for only small number
of persons in any community are partic-
ipants in the great American game.
Neither is it golf, nor tennis, nor swim
ming, though all of these have their
devotees. These sports are exciting
enough, to be sure. Some of them are
miniature battles. appealing to the mar
tial spirit of man, and others involve a
return to mans primitive habitat in
the waters and that close contact with
the springy turf over which our an
cestors bounded. But none of these is
the great outdoor sport of May and
June.
Mans main outdoor diversion now, as
it has ever been since the decline Of the
hunter era of the human race, is that
great mingling of combat, nature and
the appeal of material necessities, sum-
med up in the one Word-gardening
When extended to the larger scale of q
farm, gardening loses it's characteristic
as a sport, as is the case with anything
which consumes all of ones time and
stirs all of ones impulses to make
money. Agriculture restricted to a
space of so by 20 feet or less Is garden
ing, and as such it is truL sport, call
and activity which a man possesses,
and also demanding from him pru-
dence, judgment, caution and foresight.
Fertile soil is a desideratum. but fer
tile mind is a sine qua non in the gentle
art of gardening.

Aviation Boosting by Radio.

The Washington Chamber of Com
merce is taking to the air to help the
local airport and the air mail, and over
Station WMAL speeches are being
broadcast under the chambers aus
pices in behalf of both. The first
broadcast on Friday evening was de-
voted to a business mans discussion of
developing the Nations air mail sys-
tenn by greater use and the second
broadcast next Friday evening will be
devoted to the importance to the Capt.
tai and to the Nation of building an
airport in Washington to stand as a
model for the country.
This is a sensible method of spread
ing propaganda in good cause. The
air mail is being established on a firm
foundation and stands on its feet be-
cause it has been found commercially
feasible. But its development, and
with it the development of commercial
aviation, depends upon continued and
growing use. Using the air mail in
the transaction of business is a patri-
otto gesture that carries sound BENEFITS
with it.
The proposed Capital airport, de-
manded in the beginning by the re-
quirements of the air mail, must be
able to accommodate not only the air
mail, but the other and increasingly
valuable forms of commercial aviation
as well. The years of delay in build
ing this airport have broadened the
original prospectus. Now it appears
not as an interesting experiment to aid
aviation, but as an actual necessity de-
manded by the expanding uses of
aviation. An air-minded Nation, in
terested in its Capital city, will find
the radio discussions of Washington S
airport-to-he a live topic.
