England's Giant Flying Boat.

Apparently undiscouraged by the
various mishapS that have befallen the
great flying boat, the DO-X. the Brit
ish air ministry has announced that
work will soon be started on q sea-
plane twice the size of Dr. ClaudiuS
Dornier's creation, and that when COM
pleted it will be put into service be-
tween Canada and England. Some
idea of the size Of the proposed air
liner can be gained from the fact that
motors developing sixty thousand
horsepower are planned for it, as
against the seven-thouSand-tw two hun
dred-horSepower plant of the DO-X
It's flying range is to be more than
twenty-five hundred miles, with a speed
Of one hundred and twenty miles an
hour.
1t Is bold undertaking upon which
John Bull has embarked. Flying boats,
even of the size of the two DO-X's, the
second Of which has just been COM
pleted and delivered to Italy, to act as
the flagship of its aerial feet, have by
no means proved conspicuous successes
In the numbering" flight of the huge
boat to this country trouble with motors
or the plane were the rule rather than
the exception. In fact, ever since its
spectacular inaugural flight over Lake
Constance in Switzerland the DO-X
has been subject to long series OF
misfortunes.
Aerodynamically it is, perhaps, pos
sible to build flying boat many times
the size of the projected British craft
but the gasoline motor has not yet
reached the stage where it can be de-
pended upon to function with perfec-
ton. Bigger and better ships will un-
doubtedly come, but it will take vastly
improved engines to give them any de-
gree Of reliability for fast aerial trans
port.

big chief himself Of few years ago.
According to a preliminary survey just
made by Judge Seabury, the commit
tees counsel, the income of George w.
Olvany during the four and hali
gears Of his tenure Of ONCE as leader
of Tammany Hall was no less than
two million dollars. That works out
at roughly S444,4 44 q year, more IN
twelvemonth than Sheriff Farley man
aged to save in six years out OF his
annual stipend Of $4,000. Judge Sea-
bury hopes to obtain some specific in
formation on this score when Mr.. OIL
yany himself takes the stand. That
will perhaps be on Thursday. Maybe
not until next Tuesday. The chief
inouisitor of the committee has some
research work to do meantime. IL IS
not altogether easy to find the lever
that prizes open the treasure chest OF
the Tammany overload. Meanwhile
the friends Of the erstwhile leader
point out that he was really and truly
a practicing lawyer with a big bust
ness, and that there is nothing mys-
terious about even so large an income
New York lawyers make big fees. Some
make bigger fees than others, espe-
cially, it would seem, those who are
close to Tammany. Mr.. Olvany was
particularly close to Tammany, was
indeed its very head. A frank &C
counting of his income during the four
and half years of his headship would
be Accordingly interesting.

no people ever won its liberty without
suffering Before leave I shall go TO
the last extremity to avoid the disaster
which looms ahead. If I fail then,

clear conscience"
Mr.. Gandhi repeats on every possible
occasion that he does not countenance
war or any other use Of force to &C
complish the political revolution he
espouses. Short of armed rebellion, it
is difficult to imagine what the Indian
Nationalist can do to throw off the
hated British yoke. They may resume
surreptitious sait-making, passively re-
sist in other directions, refuse to pay
taxes ana otherwise rebel. But with
British imperial opposition bulwarked
by that of the native princes and the
Moslems, the cause of free India"
seems doomed to fruitlesSneSs.

Mr.. Gandhi Goes Home.

Mr.. Gandhi announced in London
yesterday that he is returning to India,
convinced that the round table con-
ference is doomed to failure. He has
engaged passage for Bombay on No
vember % and once he Is ON home
grounds again the Mahatma will resume
his fight against British rule The pro-
jected Gandhi visit to the United
States Is off. What men of India, in
dependence brand, are wearing will,
therefore, not be on view over here. 1t
is just as we'll for Mr. Gandhi, for the
weather in America in Winter would
whip uncomfortably around Ioins be-
decked only in a cloth and across
shoulders protected from chilly blasts
by nothing but shawl
The Mahatma has spent roundly two
months in England trying to win prac-
teal sympathy for the cause of Indian
independence. He has been greeted
with many manifestations Of popular
interest, and on all hands with that
respect due to the leader of such impor-
tant forces as those for which he speaks
But, as Mr.. Gandhi sorrowfully con-
fesses, neither the King nor Premier
Macdonald nor Lord Chancellor Sankey
has given me any tangible basis for
hope that any Of the Indian national
demands will be granted" Under
these circumstances the Mahatma feels
he is wasting his time in the bleak
| British climate, though he plans to
brave it until the round table conference
comes to its futile end later this month
While British Labor ruled the i'm
| perial government at London there was
always hope that wide concessions In
Z! the form Of Indian self-government
might be made. With the recent oblit-
Grafton of the Socialists in the general
election and with the advent of the
Conservatives to predominance, midas
independence aspirations went into q
decisive slump. Gandhi no doubt sees
especially bitter handwriting on the wall
In the arrival Of Sir John Simon In the
foreign secretaryship. Sir John, though
not q Conservative, was the head Of the
royal commission which surveyed the
Indian problem on the spot a couple Of
years ago. His findings were all against
any early qualification of the Gandh
hopes. Local autonomy within the
framework Of the empire, and strictly
limited autonomy at that, was the bes
that Nationalist India could look fol
under the Simon plan.
u IT am afraid there are fiery day
ahead" laments the Mahatma in an
nounctng his hOmeGoinR program. "bu

John B. Larner.

Held in the highest esteem and affec-
ton by all Washington, John B. Larner
has passed away, leaving a sense of
grievous loss on the part of the COM
munity. He was born in this city. He
spent all of his life here. He was
identified with its development during
half century Of activity in his bust
ness and professional career. To an
extent not fully realized until the
slackening of his activities consequent
upon the failure Of his health q few
months ago, he participated in works
for the advancement of the material
and the cultural life of the Capital.
The recounting Of his interests and
contributions to the public welfare, in
volved in a review of his life, reveals
a steaofast devotion to the highest
ideals of civic organization.
John B. Larner commanded more
than the respect of men. He won their
love, as he held their admiration. He
was invariable in his insistence upon
the utmost integrity in all dealings. He
made no compromises for the sake of
immediate advantage. In his conduct
Of the great business Of which he was
the head for fourteen years and with
which he had been associated for o
longer period, he stood for equity for
all with whom he had dealings. His
judgment in matters of financial in
vestment was sound, and his advice,
which was often sought by persons of
means both large and small, was in
variably dependable.
Though he had many interests and
was often engaged in a variety OF
works for public as well as private bet
terment, Mr.. Larner always adhered
to the highest principles Of bust
ness and of personal conduct. To know
him was privilege. To work with him
was an opportunity.
If there was single outstanding pur-
pose in his later years it was the de-
velopment of the educational institution
from which he was q graduate and to
| which he felt that he owed in great
part the success that he had gained in
his business and professional work TIC
him George washington University was
the type of the washington City Of his
ideal. He felt that in it lay the poten-
TALLY of an instrument for the mate
rial and moral evolution Of the highest
type Of American community. He gave
literally of his time and energy for It's
administration and to him 1t owes today
q debt Of gratitude.
The grief that is felt for the passing
Of this upright citizen, this true and
beloved friend is assuaged by the re-
Election that his contribution to the
| welfare of Washington was not evanes-
cent, but rich and permanent.

Successful Medical
Treatment Depends on Patient.
Evening News, Glasgow-(Fronn
How to Keep Fit" column)-It is
doubtless flattering for a doctor to be
regarded as sort of scientific magicion,
put 1 often wish patients would realize
that successful treatment depends al
t uLoSC as much on themselves as upon
their medical or surgical advisers
A cure is never produced solely bv
the physicians drugs or the surgeons
Knl1e. 1t Is the result of co-operation
DetWeen doctor and patient. in which
the latter's will to be well' is not less
important than the formers skill and
knowledge. 0--- ''--''
ms Is point I wish to impress
particularly upon those who have the
care OF 1nvalidS. Cheerfulness with
o9C ouStle and general atmosphere
o1 quiet optimism play an Important
part IN recovery. and in this direction
the nurse or the relative acting in
CnaC capacity can do ever, move oooJ
than the doctor. OWN
WnaG l may perhaps be permitted
70 can the psychological aspect of the
nurses work is at no time more vital
IMAM curing the trying period of con-
valeScence. Then. when the crisis of
illness has passed. the patient first
begins to be conscious of his extreme
weakness. Depression is the great
enemy to be fought.
Change IS the nurses best weapon.
Get tne patient out of the sick room
as soon as possible. Put him in the
prlgnteSt and most cheerful room in
the house, with a window looking out
onto tne street. Everything should be
as normal as possible: medicines
should be kept out of sight.
Inc great aim Is to persuade the
patient that he is nov almost well
again and is already partaking in the
everyday life of the family.
The psychological value of change
Is greater than is generally realized.
AIlaG Is why l always recommend a
complete change of scene after seri-
Gus illness. But when this is impos-
sible. the lesser change into a fresh
room, leaving behind all suggestions
OF a sick-bed, will go q long way
toward Fastening and consolidating
