Columbus Day,

Recurring anniversaries Of the day on
which Christopher Columbus discovered
America remind US, or should remind
US. Of the continuing Importance OF the
greatest find on record. Four hundred
and ttirty-eight years have passed into
history since the adventurous Genoese's
earayels dropped anchor in these wa
tiers and planted the banners OF a
brand-new civilization. Events OF more
sranscendent and direct importance to
what was to become the American peo-
pie transpired three centuries after
34e2. but Columbus achievement was
ahair precursor. After all, it was he
and his fellow-voyagers who blazed the
trail along which the legendary heroes
of the Republic eventually were able to
9ollow, to the glory of what Is now the
United States of America.
It is well that the epic Of Christopher
Columbus and the Discovery is taught
20 the youth of America. 1t still
breathes the spirit of courage, enter
prise and heroism. Today only a few
places on the earth await the FIRST
conner. Admiral Byrd and the other
intrepid men Of America and Europe

Speed.

No air speed records seem TO be safe
from this doughty Capt. Hawks, who
every time he steps into his tiny plane
goes somewhere faster than anybody
else has ever done before. The latest
Is little jaunt he took from New York
to Philadelphia and back. Going down,
his motor must have been missing, be-
cause 1t took him all Of twenty four
minutes. but on the return trip he made
up for it by setting his ship down at
his destination just twenty minutes after
leaving the Pennsylvania metropolis.
Before that Capt. Hawks had been in
Boston. When he started from New
York, few days ago, he was in little
bit of hurry, probably late for an
appointment or something, and he
stepped on it," He made the distance
In fifty-three minutes. And then there
Is little matter Of the day that the
flyer decided to hop of from Los An
geles to keep a dinner engagement in
New York that night. He kept his en-
gagement all right, landing in New
York twelve hours and twenty-five min
utes later, with a flying time of less
than twelve hours, forty-five minutes
or so having been devoted to refueling
and q bit of lunch.
Hawks and his plane are what Amer
lea has required for years. SO startling
are his achievements that they graph
ically stress the need for continued de-
velopment of high-speed ships. The

he, court perils and hardships unirn-

that carry the Byrds Of these times, and

military or civil, flying must be fast
in order to be effective. Granting stur-

which were the most to be feared. In

the planes mast be fast IN order 10

portation. If an air trip, for instance
takes almost as long as a train trip,
little is to be gained by using the ether
route.
Hawks and others, who by their ac-
complishments lead the way in speed
development, are promoting the cause
Of commercial aviation. Plane builders
are studying new methods Of stream
lining, and engine builders are striving
to produce lighter, more powerful and
better motors. Both are given incen-
tive By flyers who draw public atten-
ton 10 the latent speed ability of ships
of the air. Even wheels ere now being
incased in streamlined hoods, while the
motor cowling Is still novel enough to
be classed with the latest developments.
In fact, successful as is the air
cooled radial engine, 1t would not be
surprising If at some future date it was
abandoned for motors cooled by a newly
discovered chemical because Of the small
wind resistance offered by the latter
type.
Speed is the watchword. and speed
will be had. And 1t Is well within the
bounds of reason that few years hence
will see regular air liners approximat-
ing the speed that today is made only
by special racing planes.

The long Summer days are ended. the
DAYS of vacation are but memories, the
schools are full of rudy children, and
the busy world Is once again ct It's
tasks. Each season as 1t comes and goes
n1ax4kS a transition in life. To some OF
us. no doubt, there IS little that is
noticeable of change except the con-
seriousness that time is passing and that
things continue as they were. To the
more reflective each changing season
must have a meaning. There must

One does not have to be morbid 70

a critical moralist to see in the signs

With such farms, they say-and Chair
man Legge Of the Farm Board, an ex-
pert both in farm machinery and in
farm production, bears them out-the
domestic farmer cannot compete with
the Russian farmer, who Is forced to
labor at a low and stipulated wage
level.
Farming Is Big Business.
Some of the men who want to see
the farmer succeed, and they include
leaders In the railroad and manufac-
turing industries and the wholesalers
and retailers, express the belief that
farming is big business and that In
this day Of competition 1t must be
handled by big corporations which can
utilize every advantage to be secured
from the money market, from the de-
velopment of machinery and from the
availability Of labor.
Instead of 40-acre farms they see
400, 900 acre farms. They see the rela-
lively unproductive or worked-out lands
returned to forestry and the growing
of timber, and they relegate to the
city neighborhoods the dairy and truck
operations which have been scattered
heretofore, but which, they feel, might
cut their overhead costs materially
through the transportation and distri-
button methods of big companies.

can really feel that the small or large
place we fill Is indispensable to the
common good, then our work has its
own compensation II we can judge 1t
not by exaggerating its Importance but
by appraising its real value, 1t can be-
come to Us a source of Joy and deep
satisfaction. It were well for us to for
get all failures and disappointments, to
look more to our assets than to our
liabilities.
Again, as we front the new season, It
were well that we made q fresh ap-
praisal of that part of the world in
which our life is cast. Too many OF us
carry over into every new season old
prejudices and dislikes. Some OF US
tend to grow critical and cynical in our
judgments Of men and things. Now
and again we meet those who seem to
have as their pet maxim, There Is none
that doeth good; no, not one" hope
full view Of life Is far better and more
satisfying. We cannot better the world
about us by thinking Ill of 1t. The most
helpful people In a community are in
variably the most hopeful. II our Chris
tan faith does not make us more opti-
mistic it is out of consonance with the
ideals and teachings of the great Master.
Again, in our relation to the church,
of whatever name 1t may be, 1t surely
Is wise for us to make fresh appraisal
of our responsibilities and obligations
as they concern our relation to 1t. The
church Is not rendered efficient simply
because on It's official side 1t Is well or
ganized. Mr.. Beecher used to maintain
that what took place at the door OF the
church was Of equal Importance with
what took place In its pulpit. In other
words, those who make up a congrega-
ton determine very largely the church's
atmosphere. II we look on our attend
ance upon the church's services as a
duty to be reluctantly discharged. II
we have an attitude Of mind that IS
critical and ungenerous, we create a
situation that the most eloquent preach
ing cannot resist or overcome. Congre-
cations largely determine the pulpit's
efficiency and power.
The Fall has come, the slogan Is
Business as usual" life resumes It's
normal course. Let US forget the things
that are behind and reach out to the
things that are before.

Cotton Meeting to Seek
Means of Squirting Buyers

the Federal Farm Board now, In respect
Of all agricultural commodities put to-
gether and through calling into play
the vigor Of private as well as Of public
resources, has brought into existence
total agricultural marketing financial
outlay covering investment In farm
products to the value of 81 ,250, 600, 900.
The sum thus dedicated under Federal
direction and encouragement to better
agricultural price prospects for primary
producers would seem to be almost as
colossal as the most daring mind could
desire.
Meanwhile, altogether aside from the
1906, 900 bales Of cotton held by the
Governments Cotton StabiliZation Cor
poration, the Federal Farm Board has
financed, or has inspired other agencies
to finance, cotton cooperative societies
which now together hold some three
million bales.
Offers to Discount Loans.
Meanwhile, further, the Federal Farm
Loan Board, quite aside from its CO.
operations with the Federal Farm
Board. has offered through its own In
termediate credit banks to discount
loans extended by commercial banks TO
cotton growers to the extent Of 8 cents
on each pound Of cotton, although the

that level. This offer has been widely
welcomed in the cotton belt.
Meanwhile, finally, the Federal Re-
serve Board, almost instantly upon Mr.
Meyers assumption Of its governorship,
announced, with an eye known to be
directed especially upon cotton, that
the Federal reserve banks would meet
the problems connected with the mar
keting Of crops"
The sum Of the situation then IS:
The enabling Of the producer to wait
for the consumer has been carried far
and is being carried farther. Can the
New Orleans meeting devise any method
Of bringing the consumer into action?
The answer, II any, it is here believed,
would have echoes everywhere.

SHOOTING STARS.

Unreality.
Wise men figure out
That we're gravely in doubt
About things-many things.
So philosophers say,
And the poet, 30 gay,
Likewise sings-sweetly sings.
They err who insist
Some things really exist,
For 1t seems-merely seems;
And the world, with Its show,
And the days, as they 60, ~,a
Are but dreams-idle dreams.
The pleasures we nurse,
The misfortunes we curse,
Are but shades-empty shades.
Ger the mind comes a thought,
Like q picture swift caught,
Then it fades-quickly fades.
We stumble and grope,
And we sometimes lose hope
Mid these schemeS-wicked schemes
But weIl waken some day.
And well smile as we say,
They were dreams-idle dreams"

Giarizzo summoned assistance and
climbed down into the ravine. where he
found the women dead. Their automo-
bile was loaded with suit cases, which
showed that they were touring italy.
The police marshal at Ronta said the
accident appeared to be the fault of
neither party, but was due to the
narrowness of the road. Giarizzo told
the police he saw the women's automo-
bic approaching. He stopped completely,
he said, and gave the other car sum-
Gent space to pass. He further told the
police that the car swung around him
and then plunged over the precipice
without colliding with him.
Joseph e. Haven, American consul at

has sent cables to the United States for
instructions regarding disposition dis

TELEVISION SEEN AS SOLUTION
OF FOG AIRPORT PROBLEM
Hammond, G. W. Graduate,
Working on Development
of Equipment.
Screen in Cockpit Showing
Airport and Plane Thought
Possible.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GLOUCESTER, Mass, May 2s.-
Radio "eyes" for airplanes to permit
the conquest of fog, the greatest peril
facing flyers, are possible development
to aid aviation, in the belief of John
Hays Hammond, jr, inventor.
The use of television to transmit a
picture of the landing field to screen
in the cockpit of a plane flying above
said. A dot or Speck moving across
the screen would indicate the aviator S
position.
Hammond explained last night, in
announcing his discovery, that nothing
has been actually accomplished yet and
that 1t has to do with certain possible
developments in the future. He said
his work followed that of DR.. e. F. w.
Alexanderson of the General Electric Co.
Last week DR.. Alexanderson demon
strated that television could be sent
across at least one mile of space for
reproduction on a screen six feet square.
Going into the details of his proposed
plan more fully, Hammond said that
his method would be to set up a tele-
vision station at an airport capable of
sending out an exact picture OF the
airport and surrounding locality, in
distractions.
The next step, learning the position
of the airplane, he said, could be de-
termined by radio compass stations
located about the landing field and
equipped with direction finders. An
automatic radio transmitter sending
from a plane could be picked up by the
stations and the position of the plane
learned at all times by plotting the
intersection of the messages.
Such position, in the form of a
dot or speck, he continued, could be
placed upon the picture of the airport
and sent by television to an aviator in
a plane flying above.
Hammond has many Ii entions to
his credit in the fields of radio teleg-
raphy and telephony and wirelessly
controlled torpedoes. He was born in
San Francisco in 1888, and is a grad
uate of Shefield Scientific School of
Yale University and George Washington
University.
