would wind up in the Office even
tually.
The only surprise was that his
reward" came SO quickly; because
1t was the understanding in jail
that the Office jobs came to men,
not only because of their qualiflca-
tons, but as a reward for good
conduct.
In other words they had to be
tried in the regular Jail routine
first, and given the soft job only If
found deserving.
1t didn't work that way with
Sinclair. He hadn't been tested
at all. His word that he intended
to do the right thing" was accepted.
Perhaps there was no reason why
it shouldn't have been. But If 1t
was the intention to punish him
for some wrongdoing, he was GER
tainly having pretty much his way
about the form the punishment
should take.
The privileges that an Office job
carries with it are considerable. To
an inmate, it just about means the
difference between being in jail and
being at liberty. And that is why
I say that Harry Sinclair was never
really in Jail at alias an ordinary
prisoner would understand the word
I might say that I don't think
Sinclair got any more consideration
in the way of an assignment than
all men ought to get when they are
Jailed. But the point Is that In this
particular jail he got it and the rest
didn't.

mean by saying that Sinclair was
never really in Jail at all, from the
jailbird's viewpoint.

Objection to Cops Selling
Tickets Is Cited.

Continuation Of the annual police
and firemen's circus, which has
been conducted for two years by the
police and firemen's emergency
fund committee, was considered to-
day by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan.
TITS a good thing for the city to
have such a fund from which to
pay for various emergencies and
charitable requests, but there Is
considerable objection to police sell
ing tickets" Sullivan declared.
The old administration commit
tee, headed by L. Ert Slack, can
turn over about $4,000 unexpended
balance as soon as a new committee
is organized. Members of the COM
mittee, if organized, will be Frank

says: 'MichaePS wonderful condi-

Whenever he's the least cross or

little California Fig Syrup. 1t al

All children love the rich, fruity
flavor of California Fig Syrup. A
pure vegetable product, it doesn't
grippe or sicken. 1t always acts
gently, but thoroughly to cleanse
the system Of bilious, headachy,
constipated children. Doctors say it

PARIS. Feb. 27.-Refusal OF
Camille Chautemps to collaborate
With Andre Tradieu, and the declar-
alton of war upon Tardieu's govern
nent by the Chautemps Radical-So-
cialist group delayed formation OF
a new cabinet. but failed to dim
TardieU's optimism today,
With the strong backing Of former
Premier Raymond Poincare, Tardieu
was hopeful Of completing his min

II he succeeds. as he hopes, In
reassembling the old Polncare
groups. he will have a possible NIFTY
vote majority in the chamber.
Chautemps's refusal to join with
Tardleu was fiat.

NO, no. no."
Tardieu has become the protege
of Poincare. who is lending every
ounce of his strength to helping the
Younger man find his requisite
majority.
Under the elder politicians In

to invade the Repubiican-Socialist
group, which includes Aristide
BRAND and Paul Painleve. He also
is making foray in the ranks of

Under the circumstances. it is

Alice and Irene.

Alice and Irene Steff of Portsmouth.
N. H., showed the true American spirit
when they ran into their fathers or
chard and picked up a chart which had
been dropped by the French plane, the
Question Mark, on its way to New York.
1t is seldom that souvenirs of authen-
tic value fall into ones back yard. But
when they do it is essential that they
be picked up before some one else finds
them. Alice and Irene were ION the
job" as the phrase of the moment has
1t. The moment they saw a white
neutrality-suspicious. fall from the far
nous international plane they ran into
the orchard and were lucky enough to
ind the chart at once.
1t was small, but remarkable, souve-
mir. But in some respects the two young
girls who found it are more interesting.
They exemplify the instant reaction Of
the people of this land toward the thrill
Of the moment.
The occasion was historic, the day
was fine and the aviators had come far,
but far below were millions of persons
interested in both plane and flyers. The
heart of America beat with that of
France. Perhaps the names of Alice
and Irene may come to symbolic; not
just souvenir hunters Of an unusual
kind, but young Americans typical Of
their country's friendship.

Mr.. Roberts Appointment.

In selecting william A. Roberts for
the newly created office of special as
sistant corporation counsel, handling
the legal work of the Public Utilities
Commission, the Commissioners have
recognized the good record of this
young man as a IA mber of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations and its
Advisory Council, and at the same time
have obtained the services of an attor-
ney whose specialized duties with
the Interstate Commerce Commission
should make him valuable in the work
now confronting the local utilities body.
With william NICK. Clayton, Mr.. Rob-
erts has taken leading part in the
proceedings of the federation, especial
~ as they concerned the regulation of
local utilities. The position he now
fills broadens his opportunity to serve
the people of the community and calls
for the full exercise of the abilities
that heretofore have been given the
city to necessarily limited extent.
The Star wishes him good luck. and
success.

Bits of information regarding the
contents of Andree's diary found with
his body on White Island, east of Spitz-
bergen. a few weeks ago by Gunnar
Horn, EXP. rer, are coming across from
Norway. Not much has yet been dis
closed regarding the story told by the
writings found with the remains of
Andrees party. But it is fairly def
nitely established that the balloon in
which they &c out from Danes Island
on IT, west coast of Spitzbergen very
soon was disabled and the explorers
were forced to make a landing. Just
where they descended and how is not
yet told. Later those details probably
vii, be forthcoming The three men
then made their way southwark with
such provisions as they could carry on
their backs. They had mo- dogs and
no sledges. 1t was desperate chance
they had to take. but IL was the only
one possible for them. 1t proved to be
forlorn hope. That they made their
way as far as they did so close to Spitz-
bergen is remarkable. One of the three
succumbed, it would seem, some days
before the others, Frankel being the
first to fall Then Andree and Strind-
berg reached White Island and there
they too persisted, perhaps eight weeks
after the collapse of their balloon. That
they lived so long is marvel of human
endurance.
Andree appears to have taken the
most determined precautions to pre-
serve his diary. in the hope, it would
seem. that some day it would be found
with his body. He wrapped it in straw
and cloth, bit of Undertaking. and
strapped it to his back. This is the
third volume that was found and was
discovered underneath his body only
when the remains were examined on
the arrival of the Bratvaag at Tromsoe.
1t wa evidently Andree's last thought
tina the tragic story should be presery-
ed. not for self-exaltation, but in the,
interest of science.

The Flight of the D0-X.

Passengers on the projected Atlantic
flight of the famous Dornier flying
boat will have the unique experience of
riding in the air by day and spending
at least one night on the heaving open
ocean in the same craft If present plans
are carried out. The DO-X, as DR..
Claudius Dornier's revolutionary ship Is
technically named, is the biggest
airplane Of any type ever constructed.
1t has accommodations for one hundred
passengers and with its twelve motors
developing more than seven thousand
horsepower 1t flashes through the air at
top speed OF one hundred and forty
miles an hour. In test on Lake Con-
stance about year ago the DO-x, car
rying one hundred and sixty-two per-
sons, took the air in thirteen seconds
and stayed up more than an hour with
its load of approximately sixty tons.
The Atlantic flight, which is sched-
uled to begin early next month, will be
an ambitious and daring attempt of the
planes designer to prove that the DO-x
possesses to a safe degree both sea-
worthy and airworthy qualities. And in
order to do this midocean stop be-
tween Bermuda and the Azores will be
attempted with the huge plane riding
out the night on Kirg Neptune's broad
swells. A boat has s;;1eady been char
tered to meet the plane at a designated
spot between the islands. From this
vessel the DO-X will take on gasoline
and oil for an early start the following
morning.
While the number of passengers and
crew ON the epochal voyage have not
been determined. 1t is q certainty that
all who are lucky enough to participate
will have an interesting experience, DR.
Dornier's idea is that huge planes OF
this type, flying to America by way OF
the Azores and with enough stops Ia
make the Carrying of large quantities Of
fuel unnecessary, would make COM
mercial service entirely feasible. The
small amount OF gasoline and oil neees-
sary for short hops would permit 9

The Drought.

A recentN novel gives its authors spec
ulation upNn what would happen if
feoundity should come to an end I'm the
human race About one hundred years
is given for the end of man.
But far fewer years would be required
to end life in this world if the drought
should remain permanent. No doubt it
would require many more months for
men to realize that dryness had be-
come fact of Ma tllre, not just an alb
normality.
What would happen then Is any ones
speculation. Whetller tfne permanent
drought would be ascribed to a plain
Intervention of Deity. or be attributed
to natural causes, would be left to every
mans education, hestrt and brain.
That thousands of persons would
begin to hoard water and all types of
drinks containing it, as adj drinks do,
would be inevitable.
With all water boarded for drinking
purposes, the world of men would be-
come dirty and diseased Cities would
become unhabitable.
Utilization of sea water. by power of
invention, might save for a time the
doomed life of this globe. It is not
without the bounds Of speculation that
animals might overrun the cities in a
mad attempt to get water.
The present dry spell has led many
a quiet home circle. to some such specu-
lations as these The quieting thought
is that such bad dreams have no basis,
as far as the world knows, in actualtty.
Tomorrow the sun will rise, as it
always has, and some day, and probably
when We least suspect it, real main
will descend upon the country and the
drought of 1880 will be q memory. In
the meantime it is well to feel sure
that Gods in His heaven, all's right

correspondingly greater pay load IN
both freight and passengers.
DR.. Dornier's creation has already
demonstrated its air ability. This ex-
pertinent viii show whether It can be
rated equally seaworthy. The DO-x
designer claims that the ship can ride
almost any sea If it takes the waves
head on. but is skeptical of the result,
not to the body but to the wings, should
a huge sea be taken broadside. When
the DO-X anchors to its mother ship
on the Atlantic some night next month
this most Important point can be de-
teTntned. A hundred and f1fty-seven
foot Widespread would seem to afford
a tempting surface for playfulness by
the waves and 1t cannot but be felt
that dire results will follow should
one of the wingtips take on q half q
ton or 80 Of water. Regardless of all
this. however, an expectant world is
awaiting the flight across the Atlantic
Of this huge vessel of the air.

A Caribbean Hurricane.

The very name of West Indies hur-
ricane is terrifying and the announce
rnent that has just come that one OF
these devastating storms Is now raging
sufices to cause distress and fear in the
Southeastern part of this country, which
has been so often in the past the VIC

known of the storm at present is that
1t has done untold damage in Santo
Domingo, particularly in the capital.
which has been in late report
indicated to have been almost

ton of communications prevents the

parently, the hurricane is moving ON a

ferocity it might concetvel'ly cause a
disaster in Florida. Experience fails &c

Street Railway Losses.

The rs per cent loss in net revenue
reported for July, 1880, by the Wash
ington Railway g. Electric Co. was
shown to be nearer 80 per cent when a
rental item was included in the month S
accounts. as it had been for the same
month in 1929 And the identical rs
per cent loss in net revenue reported
by the Capital Traction Co. is likewise
shown to be closer to so per cent when
an item set down as $685., represent
ing loss involved in car tokens sold at
the old rate of fare but used under the
new rate of fare, is excluded. This
item could as we'll have been spread
over the twelve months operation and
the amount is only estimated
But a 80 per cent loss and q so per
cent loss reflect serious enough condi-
ton on the part of the car companies
The only compromising factor is that
the new and higher rate of fare was
charged for ten days of the month, and
the full effect of the fare on the num-
Der of passengers carried cannot be
gagged. Next months operations should
show pretty well how much the higher
fare, added to the taxicab and other
car patronage. Whether fewer people
are riding the cars now than would be
riding them under the old rate Of fare
remains a matter of conjecture.
The loss of passengers by the Cap
ital Traction Co. for the month of May
was 337,677 and the net revenue loss
was $23,309, compared with the same
month of the year preceding. For
July the loss of passengers was Ala $40
and the net revenue loss was $17,631.
This would indicate that the higher
fare, even for the ten days of the
month, reduced the revenue loss de-
spite a continued and growing loss Of
revenue passengers And from this
reasoning it is possible to credit one
noble deed at least to the higher fares
for things are not as bad as they
might be-
The significant figures, however, will
lie in comparisons of revenue passengers
carried In August with those of July.
Making allowances for the seasonal
fluctuations expected under normal con-
ditions, it is important to find whether
the companies have actually reduced
street car patronage by the higher fare.
At best, the higher fare seems to have
served merely to reduce losses in revenue
rather than turn loss into gain. And
that was not what the companies
asked for.
