Owen D. Young's Service.
Cincinnati Enquirer,)


 The happy conclusion of the Paris experts work must be credited to the delegates a whole, but if any stands out of the group respon- sible for the unique achievements of the commit tee, that would be Owen D. Young. He has returned to New York quietly and with many tasks awaiting his attention He modesty declined any gala reception at his arrival And he passes out of publice life for time without the emotional upheaval among the population that goes with the homecoming of nose national heroes.
 But MT. Young has achieved, without so intend ing it, lasting prestige among the people of this country that means far more than the ephemeral idolatry usually accorded to the figure of the ment. He has into the consciousness of the public as a true representative of the best in Am erican business life. An unusually competent finan- cier and industrial executive, MT. Young is more He is versed in the intrcacies of international trade and finance. He is less informed of the deli caces of international politics, his conduct of the Paris committee demonstrated
 And, added to these qualifications, Owen Young embraces a human understanding of the problems Of the peoples of the world which is sorely needed in the of postwar bitterness patriotic zeal and natonastic bias which make economic progress slow in the international realm. In a word, here is not only competence but leadership; not only technical skill but vision. These qualities that generate a hero in the best sense of that much h-misused phrase.

HOYT MEETS DISASTER.

There is genuine regret that Capt Hoyt lost his airplane when returning to New York his pro- posed New York to Nome round trip. While he had lost time his northward trip through Western Canada he had regained of it the splendid performance from Whitehorse to Nome and return He then struck bad weather and, the reports say water became mixed with his gasoline Some re- ports seem to indicate that he had lost his way when he forced down into wreck. The dis patches leave room for speculation to his physical condition after several days with practically nc sleep
 But be the facts what they may, Capt Hoyt made a brave effort to complete the task that he had set for himself and was doing finely when his troubles began. His gallant attempt was worthy of being crowned with success and it is too bad that he did not reap it.

USE ALASKA MARBLE.

The Chamber of Commerce is entitled to com mendation for it's efforts to persuade the Govern ment to use Alaska marble in the construction of the Capitol. There many reasons why it ought to be used Secretary Boyle of the Chamber of Commerce makes a perfect for the Alaska material. It is better adaptable to our climatic conditions it would insure the operation of quarres that not very prosperous, giving employment to many men, and it would be fine advertising for this Territory.
 By all means the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department ought to make arrangements for the use of Alaska marble in this building. It would be absurd to try to push the of Alaska marble throughout the country and not have it in the Territory's own Capitol. More power to the Chamber of Commerce and the other forces that are at work to bring about this desired action.

It is well to be an apostle of fresh air but that does not mean that has to become a fresh air "fiend." Such is the burden of a statement put out by the United States Public Health Service on Common Sense and the Open Window"
 Seekers after health have way of carrying their hobbies to extremes There was a day when 1t was common belief that the way to avoid germs was to keep all windows tight shut Many have been the victims of that theory, now happily ex- ploded.
