been stealing taxes and harassing
rural districts for long time.

the King.
Bacha Sakao was then reported to
have sworn he would annihilate
Amanullah and his family or drive
them out of Afghanistan.

travellers. "the telephone is one OF

Amanullah introduced into his coun-

THE, "GRAFr IS BACK

For the second time after sailing maiestically through the Atlantic skies, the Graf Zeppelin has reached American soil. The welcome is as enthusiastically given as it was after the first trips There is something in spring about dirigable balloon, tanned and under the control of men operating levers. Just as people never tire of gazing from shore upon the huge outlines of passing ocean liner, so they gaze with even greater "open- -mouthed astonishment' at the spectacle of an enormous gas-baS floating through the skies. Like the airplane, these cloud cruisers are symbols of the twentieth century; for man has wrought thusly only since the turn of the century, and to fu- ture historians no conquest over nature in these times will stand out more marvelously than mans con- quest over air during the lifetimes of most men and women now living.
 The Graf is the greatest of modern dirigibles, built after the Los , Angeles was constructed, but in most ways a replica of the ship whose home is at Lakehurst. Its second westward journey over the ocean was one scarcely without an unto- , ward incident. The experience of the big ship last May, when it ran into sn ugly storm after having passed Spain. proved at least that so long as even one engine was working the ship had sufficient power to reach an airport or an airmast. That is to say, . one engine was sufficient with Dr. Eckener in command. For there is no denying the widely current belief that pr. Eckener is the world S greatest commander of dirigibles, a man who combines a wealth of ex- perience with native ability and knowledge of such craft as is possessed by no other. The Graf would have been a wreck last May had it not been for the expertness of its commander. With any kind of fair weather the Graf is as safe a place to be in, or on, as an ocean liner.
 This second visit 10 the United States has more significance than a mere friendly call with newfangled means Of locomotion. The owners Of the Graf believe that the time is soon here when such airships can be used for nter-continental travel throughout the world; and as such air vessels at all times have the choice of the shortest routes or those

SUCH A BRILLIANT CONVERSATiONALIST!

that can be forecast as reasonably free of storms for reasonable period, there seems to be little req son to doubt that the future will see some such use for the air monsters. There remains, of course, the ques- ton of cost. Although tons of freight and passengers can be car ried, the rates necessarily are much higher than the more common travelling over the surface Of the ocean; but where time is an essence of transportation, the speedier jour- neys through the air can circumVent the dra awback of cost. With regular trips arranged the cost might be re- duced.
 At present We are concerned primarily with the trip of the Graf to these shores. When it returns to it's base at Lake Constance we naturally will be selfish enough to hope it will take the northern route and pass right over New Britain. There is nothing for excitement like a free air circus.

 Human nature is human nature. national aspirations are like to hu- man desires and until we eliminate human nature from nations we shall be obliged to accept the alternative to elimination from the scheme of things, we shall be obliged to be able to fight for our rights, though we may not wish to be strong enough to enforce our arrogancy upon others. The man who is physically strong enough to lick his neighbor if he has to and is mentally strong enough not to parade his physical attributes and become abully is an enviable chap.

FOREIGN OIL COMPETITION

When a foreign corporation enters the American field the natural tendency is to sympathize with the local companies. But somehow one does not acquire the same reaction 10 the determination Of the Royal Dutch Shell Coil company of Europe to enter the American field as a competitor of the Standard Oil Company.
 Already the European concern one of the biggest oil producing com panes on earth--has 1S0 gasoline stations around New York. and is making plans to acquire hundreds more Of them throughout the East. It has obtained storage tanks along the seaboard, and whenever there is an opportunity 10 acquire a gasoline station the Royal Shell is sure to be on hand as a potential buyer.
 Indeed, there are authenticated rumors that the Royal Dutch Shell is in the market for one of the most talked about gasoline station sites right in New Britain. So is the Standard Oil, by the way.
 If the Royal Dutch edges it's way into the American market in the manner threatened it will mean com- petition in the oil business of type hitherto never experienced. The logical territory for the foreign oil concern is along the Atlantic coast. where it can deliver it's oil from foreign shores in ships. Inland the Standard and other native concerns are likely to retain their advantage so long as American petroleum pro- duction holds out.
 The cost Of gasoline on the Atlan- tic seaboard is generally higher than further inland because Of transport costs from the inland fields. It is said. however. that oil from foreign fields can be brought to the Atlantic seaboard as cheap or cheaper than American oil can be transported from the mid continent fields. Oil from the California field. however, can be brought to the Atlantic sea- board in tank boats through the Panama canal and that is being done.
 The Shell Eastern Petroleum con- pany tthe name of the American subsidiary is so aggressive along | the seaboard that price war is 1 within the realm Of possibilities. Anything the average motorist likes almost as much as good roads is to see price war in the gasoline busi- ness. Independent dealers, however, are not looking forward to such a possibility with equanimity. Since the universal urge to ride around on tires was established, opportunities for in- dependent enterprise in the gasoline distribution business have not been lacking. The future may be just as bright as the past.
