Drake continued 1.-THE present Struc-
ture is one of the oldest of its kind in
the District, and is much too small for
the number of spectators that usually

Many people are of the belief, accord
ing to Prof. Drake, that the present
name of Gallaudet College was taken
after Edward Miner Gallaudet, the
founder. This idea is wrong. DR.. Gal
laudet had, indeed. been offered this
honor, it was explained, but declined
such distinction, preferring to see his
equally distinguished father become re-
cipient of the homage.

Lincoln Signed Charter.
Forty-six years after the first school
was started in Hartford, Edward Miner
Gallaudet, the youngest son, became in
splred with the idea of establishing q
true on June %, 1864, when President
Abraham Lincoln signed the charter
making the existence of Gallaudet Col
lege reality.
The aulmni started a movement in
1907 to raise fund for the erection Of
9 worthy memorial to Edward Miner
Gallaudet. whose name, said Prof.
Drake, lis precious to the hearts Of
thousands of deaf persons of the United
states and the world at large"
AS president of the Convention of
american Instructors of the Deaf for
Is years, chairman of the committee
on the American Annals of the Deaf
and founder of the Normal Department
OF Galluadet College, from which teach
ers have gone out both to this and
foreign countries, he maintained a
leadership in behalf of the deaf that
has never been approached In this
country.
COlOrful Beginning.
The Edward Miner Gallaudet Me-
mortal Fund had a colorful beginning.
1t took the form of beautifully framed
testimonial printed on vellum richly
embellished, prepared by three foremost
graduates Of Gallaudet College, who
acted as spokesman for the alumni of
the college. On February S, 1907, on
the occasion of the SEVENTEEN birthday
anniversary of DR.. Gallaudet and the
fftieth anniversary Of his labors on
Kendall Green, the spokesman signal
lied the day by informing DR.. Gallaudet
OF the establishment of the fund. A
goal Of $4,000 was set.

eliminating q 22-year drive in con-
nection with the proposed program of
expansion on Kendall Green, Prof. Har-

Miner Gallaudet Memorial Fund, In
charge of the campaign, announced
Yesterday that 1t is expected to present
the sum of $4,000 on February 5,
Founders day, to the board OF directors
of Gallaudet College. A memorial hall
is regarded as likely to be established on
the college grounds.
With $40 900 of the amount already
in his custody, Prof Drake Is confident
that the enthusiasm of alumni and vari-
Gus State agents charged with raising
assigned quotas will put them "over the
top one month from today.
Prof. Drake said speculation is still
rife as to what kind of building Is to
be erected on Kendall Green as q me-
mortal to DR.. Gallaudet. That is a
matter to be left to the determine ton
of the college authorities.
Dining Room Necessary.
cat present" DR.. Drake declared, fol-
lowing a conference with President Per-
cival Hall, "Gallaudet College needs a
building which can hold a library, and
a large hall in which the student body
can gather for lectures, parties, dances,
public meetings. stage productions, and
moving pictures. This would permit
the dismantling of the stage in the
chapel and the use of the space 1t now
occupies for much-needed dining room
accommodations for the students. The
chapel then can be devoted to Its real
purpose.

Exit the "Cheok.off

One of the most mornentous deci-
sions in the history of American indus
trial strife has just been made at New
York. The anthracite wage conference
between operators and men succeeded
In sbolishing, at least by name, the
"check-off" system, which since time
imrnemorial has been a bitter cause
of dispute and prolonged strikes in the
hard coal field.
A rose by any other name is said to
smell as sweet. The "check-off," as a
term, is to disappear. at the urgent de-
mar1d of the operators, but the scheme
which it denotes-diversion by the en-
ployers from the weekly pay envelope
of sum equivalent to union dues-will
be perpetuated. ANY name but
'check-off.'" insisted the operators.
Amy name you wish, so long as we
get IT," was the sententious rejoinder of
the men. Whatever it is to be called
henceforth, owners and workers are
prepared to regard the check-off as IAN
arrangement for collection of dues on
reasonable basis"
Anthracite operators for thirty years
have stubbornly held that it was not
to their interest ito help the union
build up treasury with which to fight
u.s." Mine-owners have now come to
the conclusion, in the name of peace in
the industry, that anything which may
make for sterilization in time of distress
is for the common good. The consumer
Of coal, Hllo, In the last analysis, pays
the freight when operators and men
fall out, will breathe a fervent Amen
to all this.
From the miners standpoint it was
always held that, human nature being
what it Is, 1t was necessary, If the union
and the union principle were to be
preserved, to evolve ways and means
for forcing union men to pay dues and
thus remain In good standing. Con-
versely, every miner who fell out of the
union ranks because of dues delinquency
was that much gained, from the opera
tors standpoint, for the ron-union
cause. Enlightenment has finally dis
placed short-sightedness in the opera
tors camp, and the check-off, under a
more fragrant title, will live on, to the
profit, be 1t hoped, of operators, Of
miners and of the coal-using public
which so long stood helplessly on the
fuelless sidelines while baron and serf'
biekered out their differences.

The Atlantic Flight.

While the crash of Maj. G. S. wynne-
Eyton, Welsh airman, at st. Johns,
Newfoundland, is much to be deplored,
it may be the means of saving another
good flyer from watery grave. The
major was planning a European fight
in his tiny land plane and was making
tests Of Its performance when he
smashed it on the take-off. Luckily he
was not seriously injured, due chiefly
to the heroic efforts Of those who pulled
him out of his ship three minutes before
the gasoline tank exploded
The point of the matter is, however,
that no more attempts to fly the
Atlantic should be made In single
motored land planes. 1t has been done
TO the satisfaction of every one and
there is no earthly reason to do it
again. The Atlantic flight has cost too
many valuable lives already and am
bilious flyers should let we'll enough
alone. Maj. Wynne-Eyton is exceed
ingly fortunate that he is alive after
his crash. Let him think twice before
he essays the Atlantic.

petition representing four nations al
though two Of the climbers had reached
the peak on June 8. on June 3, 1924. the
advanced camp Of the Mount Everest
expedition was pitched at $1,000 feet
by two men, George Leigh Mallory
and Arthur Comyn Irvine, the highest
altitude ever climbed by humans. The
peak of the majestic mountain which
has successfully fought of every at
tempt to reach it was 2,002 feet above
them. Early In the afternoon they be-
gan the final effort, They were watched
by other members of the party through
binoculars and were seen toilinz slowly
toward the summit. Soon they disap-
peared from view to meet death in an
icebound and windswept vastness. The
towering peak still remains supreme.
Mount Jonsong is approximately
fifty miles from Everest and the mem
bers of the expedition which was led
successfully by Prof. Gunther o. Dyren-
furth, from their lofty height, had
clear view of the col, which is the final
resting place of Mallory and Irvine.
Previous to the conquering of Jonsong
the next highest peak to be assembled
was Trisul, which towers 23,4o6 feet into
the sky. The Jonsong expedition, there
fore, which was composed of the famous
climbers of five nations holds the
undisputed record of ascending the
highest peak, although several camps
on the various Mount Everest expedi-
tions were pitched at greater attitudes.
Mountain climbing is a fascinating
sport, but climbing in the Himalayas is
likewise a dangerous one. 1t takes
stern stuff to tackle these lofty SUBMITS
and congratulations on a splendid
achievement must be accorded the
Dyrenfurth party.

Congratulations!

Congratulations are in order for the
traffie ONCE, the police, the motorists
and pedestrians Of Washington upon the
low fatality record for the past month.
According to figures compiled by M. o.
Eldridge, assistant traffic director, the
National Capital has the lowest per-
centage of fatalities Of any city Of
three hundred and fifty thousand or
more population. Washington, with its
1l.6 traffic fatalities per one hundred
thousand population, is approached only
by Boston, with 14.1. Cleveland had
the worst record, with 2s3, closely fol-
lowed by Buffalo, with 274. Other
large cities and their percentages are:
New York, 22.3; Chicago, PAS; Balti-
more, ISL; Philadelphia, 1913; Min
neapolis, 1879; Kansas City, 1875; Pitts
burgh, 20.8; indianapolis, 25.4; San
Francisco, 1914; st. Louis, 1872; Detroit
26.5; New Orleans, %; Newark, 27.3
and Milwaukee, 1875.
Probably the most amazing feature
OF these totals is that Boston, with its
enormous volume of trafac and its mar
row downtown business streets, ranks
next to the District in point of safety
1t Is truly a record that the Massachu-
sets city may well be proud of. The
National Capital, entirely different in
the character Of its trafic flow, even
in the congested district, affords an in
teresting comparison to its next ranking
rival and brings to the front the ques-
ton Of whether the necessary slowness
OF traffic on narrow streets is more
conducive to safety than the freer
movement on wide thoroughfares. On
the basis of percentages it would appear
that the city with the quicker moving
traffic was the safest, which corresponds
to the generally accepted opinion that
congestion breeds accidents. But none
can depreciate the fine record set up by
the New England metropolis.
Several committees some of them
official and some representing the vari-
Gus civic organizations, are at work
studying the traffic situation in the
National Capital and it is probable that
interesting recommendations will come
out of this concentrated effort for i'm
provement. There is every reason to
believe, therefore, that Washington in
the future may set up an even more
enviable record in prevention of acct
dent and promotion of safety.
