S1&IS Ifle WTOHS way.
For example. last year at this t me-
everybody was plunglng into the stock
market with the notion that great
wave of prosperity was flooding the
country. and that almost anybody could
get a lot Of something for nothing.
We'll. that was the time when we
were really sick and didn't know it.
Since then the country has been crying
about business depression and hard
times, but as matter Of fact hard
times are the road to recovery from
the bad condition we mistook for pros
perity.
Recovery from any kind of sickness
is always a good thing, even If 1t Is &C
companied with considerable pain and
inconvenience. But everybody is mis-
taking the recovery for the sickness.
Better Of Today Than Last Year.
THE country is far better on today
than it was a year ago, when the people
were fairly crazy with stock speculation
fever We are better today than we
have been for three or four years.
1T was mighty good thing for the
Nation that the condition which we
misnamed prosperity could not last.
It was only the forerunner of adversely.
This country was terribly sick a year
ago, but nobody knew it. The flush
of stock speculation fever was mistaken
for the glow of health.
Yet now. when we think the coun-
try's business Is very sick, 1t Is really
getting well; 1t is in fundamentally
healthier condition than It was a year
ago.
THE time to feel sorry for a man is
when, in the waste of his powers, he
Is making himself sick, not when nature
has laid him on his back to mike him
well That is what has happened to
society. What we call the depression
Is our economic salvation The invisible
law simply would not let the country
proceed any farther along the road to
ruin.
You can't dodge the truth that no.
body gets something for nothing. For
years past NEST Americans have be-
lieved they could. The belief in Santa
Claus has been erected into q phfloso-
ply Of business. And when that fails
We fall back on sentimental sorrow for
hard times. The same writer's who
were telling US how prosperous We were
a year ago are telling as how hard up
we are now. They are wrong both
ways
Healthier Economic Condition.
1--WE are moving into a healthier
economic condition, but, as said, peo-
pie generally viii not be able to recog-
nize 1t. We shah not know sound, web
established prosperity when we first
see it, because most Of our standards
Of Judgment are wrong But there Is
one thing about real prosperity-it is
not the prelude TO another panic, as
false prosperity always is.
We should get enough experience

HOOVER DISCUSSES
AVIATION NEEDS
Conferel,ce With Lindbergh
and Officials Shows Plane
Production Has Declined.
~ the Assoeiated Press.


ORANGE, Va. August 16.-The pos
sibiiities Of injecting new life into the
commercial aviation industry were dis
cusSed at great length by President
Hoover today in formal conferences at
his mountain lodge with four Govern
ment aviation officials and Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh.
Government policies relating to civil
AertIIaut1cS prospects of extending
Government aid through expansion OF
the Air Mail Service, and the part COM
mercfal planes might play in the ma :
tional defense figured in the CONVEX
SattonS which began last night after
the President and his party arrived
from Washington.
Figures presented to the President
showed that while the United States
was far ahead Of the rest of the world
in number of miles flown. commercial
plane production had declined so per
cent, counting from an average of
1000 to $500 planes year.
In the face of this decline the Pres
ident was informed that American COM
mercial aviation was passing from a
mail and express service stage to point
where approximately 100000 passen-
gers are now being carried annually.
Demands for replacement of planes
In both the military and civil branches
were said to total 1900 a year.
In checking the situation the Presi-
dent and his Air Secretaries also dis
cuSsed plans for closer coordination of
Government departments in the avia-
ton field and methods of Government
economy which would not retard prog
reSs of the industry.
The Government is now spending
$l20, 1000 900 a year for commercial
aviation and the President has already
under way investigations by the Bureau
of Efficiency to determine if there is a
duplication of efforts in the Army and
Navy air coastal defenseS.
The four Air Secretaries who went
over the situation with Mr.. Hoover
were r. Trubee Dawson, Assistant Sec
rotary Of War; David S. ingalls,, Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy; Clarence M.
Young, Assistant Secretary Of Com
lnerce, and w. Irving Glover, Assistant
Postmaster General, in charge of air
mail

any beach established ON the banks OF
the river where the water Is flowing at
decidedly greater rate.
Aside from the pollution of the river,
Col. Grant also is opposed to a public
bathing beach on the theory that Il
would be inaccessible to the class of
people who would use it-people who
don't own automobiles and can't afford
to go TO the nearby Maryland and Vir-
ginia resorts when they desire to swim.
A beach on Analostan Island, for in
stance, he said. would be announcement
TO the residents Of AnacoStia, Congress
Heights, Takoma Park and even other
sections nearer the heart of the city.
Pools as Best Solution.
Col. Grant thinks the best solution
of the bathing problem. therefore, is the
series of pools which it is planned to
construct in various sections of the Dis
trict where they win serve the residents
in those communities. Moreover, he
declares, 1t Is possible to keep these
pools clean and sanitary and thus pro-
tect the health of the bathers as well
as afford them additional protection
from drowning, since life guards can
keep bathers in small pool under
closer observation than those scattered
over a beach.
THE Potomac River is polluted and
the pollution is increasing every year"
said Col. Grant. 1T is, therefore, UNI
safe for bathing, and until such time
that the river is freed Of its impurities
ii would be decidedly unhealthy to
establish a bathing beach along its
shore"
The bathing pools to BE- constructed
under the program authorized by Con-
gresS will provide safe and healthy
places for people to battle. 1t will keep
them out of the river which every year
takes 1t toll of those who risk their
lives and their health in its waters"
DR.. Edward J. Schwartz, acting Dis
trict health ofilcer, although favoring
public bathing beach, does not believe
it would be practical from a health
standpoint to develop one along the
Potomac now because Of the polluted
condition Of the river.
In view of the pollution, DIR. Schwartz
said, the only solution of the public
bathing problem at this time Is the
construction of bathing pools, using
filtered water, which can b. kept clean
and sanitary.
DR.. Schwartz pointed out that the
Health Department keeps a close OBJ
servation on all artificial bathing pools,
and aims to keep the water In them as
pure as the drinking water. 1t would
be impossible TO do this, he declared, if
a beach is established on the river.
Samples of water are taken periodi-
cally from all bathing pools and analysed
at the Health Department, DR.. Schwartz
said, and If the bacteria count Is found
to be In excess of the amount regarded
as safe steps are taken TO have the
pools cleaned and made sanitary. AS a
result of this program of protection, he
declared, all bathing pools in Washing
ton are safe from a health standpoint.
