Senate Delay in Ware
Seat Action Is Raped

From the Buffalo Evening News.
Pennsylvania Is losing patience with
the Senate for its dilatory tactics in the
case Of William S. Ware, whose election
as United States Senator was brought
into question because of the large sum
spent in his behalf in the primary of
1925. More than two years have passed
since he should have been seated or
should have been denied membership in
the body, and the case still hangs fire.
The special Senate committee that
investigated the Pennsylvania and the
Illinois primaries reported in February,
1927, that in view of evidence of cor
ruption discovered in connection with
the campaign for nomination Ware
should be debarred No action has been
taken on this, report, largely because Of
objection made by Senator David Reed
OF Pennsylvania. Ware has been seri-
ously ILL., and there is some doubt that
he would be able to serve If he should
be declared acceptable. However, his
physical condition Is not matter upon
which the Senate has to pass. The
only question Is whether. in view of the
disclosures in connection with the 1925
primary. he deserves a seat in the Sem
ate. The people OF Pennsylvania should
not have to wait indefinitely for an
answer.

ship" impresses the Detroit News, and
that paper states This leadership Is
largely responsible for the fact that
the country stands almost alone In hav-
ing no serious class enthusiastically
none that has persisted In the political
field. It has diminished waste: 1t has
created new avenues Of credit: It has
cut the time between producer and con-
sumner, so that, compared with former
years. we are living from hand 10
mouth. This phrase used to connote
extravaganza and poverty; today it
means a more accurate gauging OF sup
ply to the needs of the consumer. and
hence fewer frozen assets. It means
a steadier flow Of raw materials TO the
factories, q Steadier fiow Of goods from
factories through jobbers and retailers
to the consumer, and, therefore, better
and easier handling Of the transporta-
ton problem. 1t means less periodic
depression and greater fexibility In our
entire economic system"
The report appears to the Boston
Transcript to warrant belief that "the
United States has not entered upon a
new era" but that "acceleratton
rather than structural change Is the
key to an understanding OF our recent
economic developments"
The Long Beach Press-Telegram COM
ments on another phase: "Dlsplace-
nent of men by machines contributes
to unemployment, problem to which
continuing attention must be given II
hardships and uncertainty in the lives
Of workers are to be forestalled. One
Of the methods of combating this phase
Of the situation Is to encourage q COM

improvements. President Hoover has
given much thought to this subjecA and
concrete suggestions undoubtedly Will
be forthcoming"

Planning for Pure Air.

Experiments now in progress under
direction of the Army Medical Corps
and the Public Health Service to purify
and to humidity or dehumidify air
breathed by Government workers should
prove of valuable assistance to the ex-
perts now planning the new Govern
ment buildings for Washington. These
buildings should, of course, represent
the latest developments in the provision
Of the surroundings that make for
greatest efficiency and comfort among
the workers. Much has been learned in
recent years regarding the bad effects of
improper air. Tests during the Winter
in the Interior Department have shown
that some CT these effects are removed
by properly humidifying, or adding
moisture to, the heated air, and expert
ments this Summer are expected to
show equally good results from de-
humidifying the air that comes float
ing into hot Offices from the great out
doors.
The experiments at the Interior De-
partment and those planned for the
Summer in one of the temporary build
ings are restricted to isolated spots,
The expense of installing proper APP
paratus for the work on large scale
would be high, and, as many of the
buildings now occupied by the Govern
ment are doomed, the money would be
wasted. But the new Government build
ings should be planned for the installa-
ton of all the best devices for remov-
ing impurities from the air and properly
it by adding or taking away
moisture. If this is not done when the
buildings are constructed the time will
come when the expenditure
of large sums will be necessary, as 1t
has been necessary at the Capitol in the
House and Senate chambers, in re-
modelling and rebuilding, In the House
the work has been completed and in
the Senate it is still under way. Per-
haps the difference in the attitude of
these two bodies on export debenture
for farm relief is not so hard to explain
after all.

cially her huge private loans In the

Maj Gen. A. A. Fries. recently re-
tired chief Of the Chemical Warfare
Service, looks back upon one Of the
most unusual careers ever achieved by
an Army man. 1t started with planting
torpedoes in New York Harbor in 1898,
to protect the metropolis from Spanish
gunboatS, and ended with the Chemical
Warfare Service, which Fries organized
in wartime France and perfected in
peace-time America. Fries many jobs
during life in his country'S livery in
cluded building fortifications in the Co
lunbia River, reconstructing the roads
in Yellowstone Park for automobile use
and planning and starting the work on
Los Angeles Harbor, now Americas Sec
ond largest port in tonnage. Not the least
of Gen. Fries achievements was his I'M
tagging opposition. after the war. to all
forms of subversive propaganda in the
United States. The professional pacifists
elevated him to the rank of their pet
aversion. The Chemical Warfare Serv-
ice, as the result of Fries pioneering
work, has the unique distinction of
serving both the War and Navy Depart
nents. No American knows his cherni-
cal onions more thoroughly. Probably
private enterprise will soon draft Fries
into commercial activity.
One Of the latest quips on Capitol
Hill is that two of our eight Congress
women-one from the East and one
from the West-have applied for au-
thority to appoint nidshipwomen to
Annapolis. To add corroborative detail
to an otherwise bald and unconvincing
narrative, the story has 1t that the gen.
tlewomen from - and from -
claim the right to name members OF
their own sex to the service schools
because the law speaks of the eligibility
of Citizens" without sex discrimina-
ton.
Newton D. Baker. former Secretary
OF War, said in Washington not long
ago that he continues, even IL years
after, to receive occasionally anonymous
letters from cranks who call him a
"wastrel" for spending million dollars
an hour, "a hours a day, Sundays and
holidays included. in 1917 and 1918. II
always get 'wastrel' letters" Baker eX-
plains, "every time the papers tell about
the disposal of surplus war stocks at
Washington. The writer's want to know
why I bought so much more than we
needed"

seats, and a Liberal strength of from
90 to 100 seats.
If anything like such ratio is the
result of next Thursdays pollings, Mr..
Lloyd Georges meek and lowly Liberals

solute majority in the House of Com
mons. If the King sends for" Mr..
Baldwin and requests him to form a

could only do so by coalition with one
of the other parties. He would prob
ably turn to the Liberals. If they re-
jected Mr.. Baldwin's Establishments, the
prime minister would report that lack
of progress at Buckingham Palace,
whereupon the King would intrust Mr..
Ramsay Macdonald with the task of
composing a government. Like the Con-
servative leader, the Labor chief would
have to seek majority alliance with
the Liberals. The Little Welshman,"
if he ran true to form, would be no
more willing to fuse with Labor than
with the Conservatives.
Then would emerge Mr.. Lloyd Georges
golden opportunity. The King would
hardly have any alternative left but to
summon the World War premier to the
throne and ask him to resume the helm

National Cemetery
At Culpeper Described

To the Editor OF The star.
The National Cemetery at Culpeper,
Va, is not widely known, perhaps. as it
is much smaller than those at Airing
ton, Va, and some other places. But
as Memorial day draws near, its sleep
ing heroes may be tittingly remembered.
1t lies beautifully, on a well wooded
slope in plain view from the railroad
and is carefully kept, Of course. Around
a mound in the center from which floats
the flag they fought for, lie the graves
Of ofhcers, with, in one or two instances,
wife or child. On one side of the
central wood lie the graves of the known
dead. low white stone with initials on
it at the head Of each. On the other
side the unknown dead are buried. only
a numbered stone being possible in their
case. But the bronze tablet that keeps
eternal watch over them tells their
story, and reads as follows:
"On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And Glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead"
On another tablet is engraved a verse
equally beautiful:
REST on, embalmed and Sainted dead,
Dear as the blood We gave:
No impious footsteps here shall tread
The heritage of your grave"
Several special monuments beautify
the spot, notably one erected by the
28th Regiment, New York State Volun-
teer Infantry in memory of its dead
who fell in the battle Of Cedar Mountain,
August 9, 1852. On one side is this
inscription: "At the battle of Cedar
Mountain, August 9, 1862, the regiment
numbered, officers and men, 357. The
casualties in this engagement were,
killed and mortally wounded 81.
Wounded 81, prisoners 80. Every officer
engaged was killed, wounded or taken
prisoner"
The 2nd Maine Infantry also has a
monument here In memory of their
comrades who fell at Cedar Mountain.
In fact, most Of the dead in this Gods
acre" fell in that engagement, as Cedar
Mountain is but few miles from Gull
pepper.
The cemetery was established in
April, 1867, and besides the graves Of
the known dead it keeps the dust Of
902 unknown soldiers. One or two
heroes Of the Spanish-American War
also find rest here.
All Of the surrounding region is full
Of interest and would we'll repay visit
The mountain battlefield where so
many brave men laid down their lives
is green and peaceful, and so quiet now
1t is hard to realize it was once a scene
Of carnage.
A touch of realism was given, the fell
low-feeling that makes the whole world
kin, when an old colored woman, who
was born and raised in that region and
has never been out of it, pointed out to
us the spot between two trees "whar
two soldiers fit over oman" before the
battle. She and her little brother were
hidden spectators of that minor en-
gagement and they have never for
gotten 1t. ELIZABETH Q. FOX.

Machine Breathes
For Those Paralyzed
BY E. E. FREE, PHI. d.

The height of Incidence is pro-
verbally the individual who is too lazy
to breathe. but even he need no longer
die. Philip Drinker and DR.. Charles
r. Mckhann of Harvard have devised
an apparatus which will do any ones
breathing for him. Unlike the pull
motors and other machines which drive
air more or less forcibly in and out Of
the lungs, the new machine pumps the
chest in and out by means Of changing
air pressure outside, thus inducing the
air to enter and leave the lungs in an
entirely normal way. The machine was
devised, Mr.. Drinker and DR.. McKhann
explain in report to the American
Medical Association, as an attempt to
save the Lives of persons who have the
form of Sleeping sickness" which DAM
ages the nerves and paralyzeS the
muscles used in breathing. Sometimes
nerves and muscles might recover, the
Harvard experts believe If the patient
could be kept alive artifcially until
nature can repair the damage of the
invading germ. The new machine has
a metal cylinder like the machines used
to sterlize towels in barber shops, but
larger. The patient is put inside this
cylinder and tight-fltting rubber COL
lar is adjusted around his neck. Then
an electric pump alternately pumps air
In and out of the cylinder. When the
air is pumped out, the partial vacuum
inside sucks on the patients chest,
draws 1t outward and thus pulls air into
the lungs. Then the air pressure in
the cylinder reverses, congresses the
chest and drives the breath out again.
All that the paralyzed patient needs to
do Is to keep his throat open and the
machine will do his breathing for him,
If necessary, for days.

Transatlantic Flights.

Two airplanes, one French and one
American, are being conditioned at
Old Orchard, Me, by impatient crews,
who are awaiting the word from New
York weather forecaster to make the
start on the nonstop Atlantic tran.
The Yellow Bird, large six hundred
horsepower Bernard monoplane, is 10
carry three Frenchmen to their native
land, while the Green Flash, with two
Americans aboard, is designed to make
the single long hop from Old orchard
to Rome. Both planes at the take-on,
which it is expected will occur almost
simultaneously, will be heavily loaded
with fuel, and In order to throw the
maximum amount of protection around
them the United States Coast Guard Is
planning to send an amphibian ship as
escort for the first two or three hundred
miles of the journey, the theory being
that many of the tragedies OF the
Atlantic have occurred within few
hours of the start, due to the unwieldi-
ness of the overloaded planes.
And so, the transatlantic season for
airplanes opens again! Admittedly, the
five men awaiting the take-of at Old
Orchard are possessed Of courage Of the
highest order. No one without this
courage would risk horrible death in
the ocean wastes. But with the Atlantic
already crossed by plane, what is to be
proved by repeated attempts to do it
again in the present stage of aviation
development? A successful flight, Of
course, will demonstrate navigation and
plotting of rare skill, but after all 1t is
the motor Of the plane that will spell
success or failure. Despite all precau-
lions and despite all the skill that can
be mustered there is little chance OF
anything but tragedy If the engine
fails.
Transatlantic planes of the present
! day are overloaded almost to the break
ing point at the take-off. They are
! clumsy and difficult to handle. They
require long run TO get into the air

Airport Progress.

The announcement that House lead
at this session toward making start
on an airport for the National Capital
is reassuring news to those who are
anxious to see the National Capital as
sumo its proper place in the develop
ment of air transportation in this coun-
try.
In view of the desire to restrict the
business of the session, the sympathetic
attitude of the House leaders toward
the plea of the Airport Commission In
dicates that they are alive to the I'M
portance of the time element In plan
ming the air terminal.
It was clearly shown in the hearings
on the subject that virtually every large
city in America is moving along rapidly
in providing spacious and modern &C.
comnaodations for the increasing num-
Der of air transport lines. Naturally,
the city which lags in providing these
facilities is going to find itself in sec
ondary position on the air lanes Of the
future. Therefore, the members OF the
commission studying the problem saw
the necessity for starting without de-
lay on an airport here.
Those In charge of the program In
the House have shown commendable
spirit, q thorough grasp Of the i'm
portance of the situation in their re-
spouse to the Airport Commission. The
leading capitals Of Europe have made
rapid strides in establishing airports
and. surely, a nation Of the size and
position of the United States should at
least keep abreast Of the other prin-
cipal countries in equipping its seat Of
government with similar facilities.
OF course, the chance to have an air.
port measure heard in the House at this
time is only one step. There Is always
present the possibility Of delay while
bill is traversing its legislative jour
ney. Much depends now on whether
the recommendations which come forth
from the Airport Commission can be
put through without much controversy.
It will be easier to tell whether legis-
lative action can be completed at this
session after the recommendations OF
the commission are made known.
But, without forecasting what the
final outcome may be, the House leaders
are entitled to the appreciation Of those
who ar working for an airport for hav-
ing afforded the question a chance for
consideration at this time.
