A Fatal Crash.

Another fatal airplane crash has
added toll of eight lives to the ad-
vance of mans mastery of the air. A
sister ship of the Army airplane Cues
ton Mark fell yesterday at Royalton,
Pa, while on short test fight from
Boiling Field. Seven men were killed
in the crash or died within a short time,
and the eighth man in the air vessel
died early today, wiping out the entire
personnel of the three-engined ship.
Apparently one or more of the three
air-cooled motors with which the Fox
ker was equipped failed in the critical
take-off period, causing the plane to
lose altitude and flying speed, and fore
ing an emergency landing in a spot
where there was no adequate landing
field. News dispatches state that in
it's landward drop the great air vessel
struck a tree and spun nose first into
the ground.
Two inquiries were launched at once,
che by the War Department and an
other by Boiling Field authorities, but
| it is doubtful If the cause OF the crash
will ever be known, because all the men
in the ship were killed, and the air
| vessel itself is a total wreck The in
yestigations should be pushed with all
yigor In order that similar accidents
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-01-12

may be prevented in the future, and
that the relatives of the men In the
plane may be satisfied that no safety
factors were overlooked when the plane
took off.
The great air vessel was too low when
it started downward for the men crowd
ed in the cabin to Jump with para
chutes, and the ship itself had not
enough altitude to prevent the crash.
While the Army has experimental with
the Handley-Page wing slot. which lis
designed to prevent the fatal "stall' in
the air on the take-off, the transport
plane which crashed yesterday was not
so equipped, it is understood. 1t Is
ironical that a plane constructed on
exactly the same lines as the Question
Mark. which was able to remain aloft
for $50 hours, fell with fatal results on
such a short flight as that of yesterday.
The CO transport planes, because OF
their three-engi1e power plant, nave
been looked upon as among the safest
types of air vehicles. The relatives OF
the men In the ship find small conso-
lation that they died in line of duty,
but their death will undoubtedly lead
to conclusions which will make aircraft
safer

O. In taking months cruise. when
does one tip--at the end Of the VOYAGE,

extended trips should be given at inter-
walls of, say, two weeks instead of waiting
till the end. as is customary on trans
atlantic voyage. The amount will vary
according to the location of the state
room. A reasonable standard for such

Air Mail Pessimism
OF Glover Answered
From the Birmingham News.

From the Birmingham News
Disturbed over the reduction of air
mail revenue by reason of the lowered
rates, Mr.. w. Irving Glover, second as
sistant postmaster general, expresses a
frank doubt that the wings of the
Postal Department will ever pay their
way. Mr.. Glover reasons that since
lowered rates have not been followed
by any appreciate gain in patronage
by the American people during brief
period of experiment, a deficiency ap-
preparation of some $5,000,000 to take
care of air mail transportation through
this fiscal year would be in order. Mr.
Glover seems to understand his bust
ness The Congress should make the
appropriation, based on his forecast
But the good man should not be per-
mitted TO stay in blue funk over the
outlook for air mail.
AS a matter of fact. it was only day
before esterday-relatively speaking
that man began to fly. 1t was only
recently that the Government be-
gan toting letters through the heavens.
In a definite sense, Mr.. Glover is re-
sponsible for the present organization.
This being so, it seems rather the
attitude of pessimism than of sound
reason to suppose that temporary def
cit in the air department, before ever
the American people form the habit
OF wanting their letters borne swiftly,
Is going to mean perpetual fritter.

~ notable results. The mild form Of
influenza now sweeping the country Is
chiefly dangerous for its after-effects,
and If proper precautions are taken
! against these after-effects ravages Of
the disease will be materially lessened.
The conference did take steps, how
ever, which will be valuable in the long
fight against influenza epidemics Of the
future The delegates exchanged opin-
ions which resulted in what might be-
called standardized instructions to in
dividuals and communities on precau-
tons against contracting influenza and
how to prevent secondary infection. A
program was adopted on epidemiologi-
cal investigation with facilities now
available. and those attending the con-
ference were impressed with the need
for more liberal Federal aid to general
health work.
One Of the main topics of discussion
at the conference related to the in
adequacy of reports on influenza, a
condition that has always served to
battle public health experts. Without
such reports communities are often
stricken unawares, and when the dis
ease has run its course those who at
tempt to study its peculiarities and eff
fects are deprived of the groundwork
for their investigation. The danger of
this disease should make influenza re-
portable in all States, and complete and
current reports of its daily spread
would probably do much good. Where
reporting influenza is left to the dis
erection of the physician. the reports
received are inadequate and lead to
conjecture that is just as apt to over
emphasize as to underrate the spread
of the disease. One of the phenomena
of the present epidemic is the fact that
any one with severe cold is tempted
to diagnose his own case as influenza,
ana, according to the opinion expressed
by some of the delegates at the confer
ence just closed, too many physicians
are doing the same thing.
A generally accepted list of symptoms
of influenza and laws making their re-
port mandatory would at least enable
the extent of epidemics, such as the
present one, to be accurately gagged
and proper safeguards established.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

other than at Jones could you hope to
find "Agenor de Mauleon"?
The upshot of this specialization was
that Jones shortly found himself dis
pensing Dumas to an ever-increasing
clientele.
It is needless to say that the i'm
promptu librarian thoroughly enjoyed
his role There is nothing booklover
loves more than to share his books with
the discriminating.
A Dumas fan" asks nothing better
than to be permitted to introduce his
pet volumes into as many homes as
possible
He desires nothing more than
chance to make converts to one whose
tales delight him so Fundamentally. He
knows that in some quarters Dumas is
regarded at less than his true worth.
He would right this situation, if pos
sible.
Jones began with high heart and
a generous hand.
At first his friends brought his books
back with some attempt at regularity,
especially his priced Dumas, for they
realized that he was particular.
AS soon, however, as they discovered
that he was truly generous in his loan
ing they began to abuse the privilege.
It was just another case of easy
come. easy go; the trouble was that the
books went but never came!

This. alas, Is the sad fate of all such
free circulating libraries as Templeton
Jones conducted!
Every one means to return borrowed
books. but they never do.
They intend to take them right
back" but months go by and the
volumes are forgotten.
Or. If remembered so much time has
elapsed that the borrower Is ashamed to
wag them home.
Maybe Junior has crumpled the pages
beyond repair, or scrawled nice black
marks over all the margins.
Maybe the book is loSt-and whoever
heard of a book borrower who would
loosen up for new volume and say
nothing about it?
Templeton Jones finally came to the
conclusion that free circulating IL
brary such as he was conducting didn't
pay from any standpoint.
He had more than so volumes, cost
ing almost 5000, kicking around in
OtIlSI IiOIIlcS.
He had given that many books away
and that many dollars, without get
ting so much as thank-you for his
generosity.
He got no thanks or credit for his
donations. Instead his friends took
out on him their own ndifference-that
is, they felt that they had done wrong;
and therefore. with the facility of hui
man beings, had transferred to him
faults which were solely their own
Jones solved his problem before he
| lost all his friends, and he did 1t by
means of very simple expedient. He
closed his library. as general thing,
but still permitted friends to borrow.
Only this time he wrote down in a
little book-and they could see him do

age of producing flowers and seeds, and
so on from generation to generation.
@. Why are few goats kept with a
herd of sheep?-H. F.
A, 1t has been a common practice
among sheep men in parts of the West
to keep goats among the sheep on the
assumption that they would be more
aggressive in driving off dogs or preda-
tory animals They are also useful as
leaders of the sheep. Just how success
full this practice is. is not known, SO
far as the goats ability to drive OIL
dogs or predatory animals is concerned.
1t is known that losses from this source
occur in herds where these animals
are kept with the flock.

O. How old is heraldry?-E. A. d.
A. The science of heraldry is OF an
Gent origin. Some trace the antiquity
of the use of crests to heather divini-
ties. Herodotus attributes it to the

the pomp and splendor of glorious
chivalry.
