ton, the Ford airport here now has
in operation a complete weather bu.
reaus which dispenses in an intelli-
gent fashion information and ma
tional weather conditions.
The new weather bureau is in
charge of Donald Post, y. ,S.
Weather Bureau expert.
To facilitate flying in and out OF
the Ford airport here, Post gathers
data of value to aviators regarding
both ground and upper air cur
rents.
Atop Of Hangar
Post works in a boxlike office
near the top of the big. hangar
where he can be near his instrl.
ments on the roof.
One of his most important duties
is to release daily what from all
appearances is a toy balloon In
reality these are not Toy bal.
looms, but scientifically constructed
spheres which rise at a known rate
and indicate to the observer the di.
'rection of the wind aloft.
This information, which would
have been useless only a few years
ago, is of inestimable value in this
present day and age when count
less craft of the air swarm through
the heavens.
Wind, according to Post, blows
differently in various elevations.
Toy Balloons Are Tests
In order to determine the direc-
ton and velocity of the winds at
the different elevations, Post flies
his "toy balloons" twice daily. He
has three kinds-red, black or col.

is used on sunshiny days because
the suns rays reflected on the col
orless sphere aid the observer in

MEMORIAL

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,. May Is q.
N.sl--A majestic mausoleunl, beau.

log cabins. and q ribbon of con-,
crete linking three States are ILL
nois' present plans in tribute to
her greatest son--the immortal
Abraham Lincoln. Annually thou
sands Of people from every nation
and caste visit Lincoln'S. tomb here.
Due to battering of the elements
the monument Is in sad need OF
repairs. These are to be made as
soon as possible.
The interior Of the monument.
however, is to be entirely redone.
At present tomb visitors visit the
front room, crammed with pictures,
clippings and relics. Then they
must make a trip outdoors around
the base of the monument to peer
through a grill at the sarcophagus.
Lincoln lies buried beneath this
some 10 feet. At present the en-
tire space under the shaft proper
is not utilized.
To Move Relics
All relics will be removed and
the room that now houses them
will be used as an entrance only.
The present unutilized room will
be refinished in beautiful marble,
a corridor built to encircle 1t, beau
tifully lighted with the grilled door
opening on the sarcophagus just at
the rear.

cial attention to be paid to those
parks closely associated with the
life of Lincoln.
Proposal to join by a hard road
system all points enriched in Lin
coin memories in Illinois, Indiana
and Kentucky now are before the
legislature. The highway would be
known as the Lincoln Memorial
Highway.
Three.Year Plan
Construction of connecting links
for such a highway would take
about three years, it is estimated.
after the legislatures of the three
States involved have approved
either the suggested route or some
other amended plan.
Governor Emmerson favors a
suggested plan to reconstruct the
village of Old Salem. located on a
river. where Lincoln grew into
ina nhood. The plan proposes re-
building of the cabins just as they
! stood at that time.
A vast collection of letters, pa.
pers and relics connected with the
life of Lincoln have accumulated
In the Centennial Building here.
To these it is planned. 10 add the

That method will continue to fail. The prohib-

If it can win their respect it will be obeyed If it

multiply the widespread civil dsobedence which now
defes this statute.
Nicholas Murray Butler, in his annual report as
president OF Columbia university, has restated this
principle which is as old the pursuit of freedom
but which is dangerous heresy to those whose fanat-

unpopular law.
Not everything which comes clothed in the garb
of law really is law. Butler points out ITO get at
judicial decisions and find out what public opinion
has to say about any or all of these ..
This Is one reason why the widely heard cry for
law enforcement Is meaningless. It usually reflects
merely the demand Of the fanatic for the punish

he is interested. If law enforcement meant the en-
forcement of all law, then the social order at least

India in Revolt
ventioll.

Lahore India. Sunday. Thirty thousand natives
jammed about speakers platform The hour which
they had waited for decades had arrived.
Mahatma Gandhi, philosopher and leader of mil
lions came forward the rostrum and announced
that the executive committee, of which he was the
head had decided by large majority, for severance
of relations with England.
simultaneously another leader came forward, the
young Pandit Jawaharal Nehru president Of the In
dian national congress- and raised the national flag
May it never be lowered" he said solemnly, "as
long a native of India remains alive to defend it,
mighty roar of approval went up.
Long live the revoution!"
And so the revolt of India got under way. Thus
enters what premises to be tragic period for British
rule in India and before it is blood surely will
almost flow.
From the declaration of independence to its achieve
ment is likely to be long and troubled road. India
holds 3OOOO0OOO sous-a fifth of the total population
of the globe-and they far from united even on
the subject of independence.
Some of the ruling classes see their own end in the
end of British dominion The rest split into sects,
castes cults and religions Socially, racially, eco
nomically, and politically they are divided
How else could only few thousand representatives
of little island on the other side of the world hold
in check 100000 people, decade after decade vast
majority of whom desire independence?
Today many Indian leaders talking of resorting
to the sword. You can't overcome bayonets with
philosophy. they say. Others, Mahatma Gandhi for
instance still preach nonresstance civil dsobedience
and nonpayment of taxes.
Obviously England will have her troubles no mat
ter which direction events take. Dramatic days, and
perhaps tragic lie ahead for both England and India
