Fall Meets His Fate.

There Is tragedy, Of course, in the
spectacle OF Albert B. Fall, frail, broken
old man, bowed by the weight Of his
disgrace, tottering away to jail. 1t is
entirely possible that he has received
his death sentence, and there Is truth
in the plea that he has already drained
the cup Of bitterness to its dregs and
that the physical act of entering jail
can mean but little to him or to the
people whom he betrayed and to whom
he now must render final retribution.
But the matter before the court, de-
cided when Justice Bailey declined to
suspend sentence, concerned q question
of justice and not a question of hui
mainly. Fall Is a tragic figure. So are
thousands of others who. having trans
crossed, must pay the penalty. The de-
PENDANTS mental reactions to the fate
that now awaits him are, Of course,
beside the point His physical condition
has been examined and unprecedented
medical opinion is that he Is as able
now as he was when he was sentenced
to serve that sentence. That he has
suffered mental anguish and a physical
collapse in the course of the long flght
he has waged to prove his innocence,
beginning with his resignation from the
cabinet in 1922, are incidental to the
fact that he has been tried, found
guilty and sentenced. Whether or not
he has suffered enough as it is without
the final disgrace of serving his time
in a common jail is a philosophical and
not a legal question.
There are probably few. indeed, who
are not moved by pity for Fall. But
there must be fewer still who do not
agree that the court has taken the only
course, and the right course, in sending
him to iail

A New York Elevated AirpoJt

An interesting suggestion is made by
Capt Frank Hawks, that bullet Of
the sxy," who has just returned from
Europe, where he showed them a thing
or two about fast flying. 1t is that the
trree-mile dock front of New York City
be rooted over to provide an airplane
landing field. Hawks quite aptly points
out that an elevated airport would
give plenty of runway for the biggest
ships and if it was done when you few
to New York you would land right in
New York and not in New jersey or
out on Long Island"
There is little question but that the
Anne lean metropolis must devise way
to land planes nearer the city than is
now possible. Flying from Washington,
for instance, it takes a full forty five
minutes to reach the center of New
York from the Newark airport and
other fields are more or lsss in the same
rela,i ion In this connection, 1t is inter-
esting to note that Washington stands
unique among comparably sized cities
in that its al port, while too small at
the present time, is only about ten
minutes from the bucincss section.

Washington and the most conspicuous
figures, politically and socially. of the
Nations Capital have come to occupy
the spotlight almost continuously. For
Washington has become more and

globe And because of the ever-in-

ing source of entertainment for thou
sands of persons eager fol inside SUI y:
for the details of the inner workings
of the Government, Ct the political
parties and of the society which makes
UP the life of Washington. 1t is not
surprising, therefore, that volume efter
volume dealing with supposedly 'uncer-
surface" things are published, although
1t is perhaps a coin cidcnce that within
a single week there have cnne from the
presses two books, each dealing with
the lives and careers OF tie political
leaders of the country. Eoth are anory-

"Poland's independence, recalls the

one of the famous fourteen points on
the basis of which President Wilson
ten months before the armistice in
sisted that peace must be made. Polish
patriots associate the enthusiasm and

greeted the prospect of their country's
deliverance from the yoke of the powers
which had divided and enSlaved it with
the memory of the man across the seas

however, also sets to his credit domestic
policies including the Federal Reserve
system, the Federal Trade Commission,

achievements Wilson might have re-
corded if his eight years had continued
unbrcken by war can only be left as
a matter of conjecture. The carnage
that consumed world activity for four
years shunted all internal attachments
to obscurity. So his fame must be

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

When the red-headed girl sneezed,
as Jones knew she would, he merely
moved forward across the car to the
highly uncomfortable position by the
door.
Neat horizontal bars bore into ones
back there. and outgoing passengers
invariably step on ones toes. If the
window Is open, and 1t is a rainy day
the rain trickles down the back Of ones
neck.
Motordom would regard this as the
would not or could not purchase a car
of their own.
Jones took it thoughtlessly. fcrgetful
of those bars. They reminded him very
shortly, but 1t was too late to move
back. some one else had dropped into
his old place.
A passenger sat down next to him on
the long seat, and third at the other
end, leaving a fourth and last place.
Into this slid large gentleman with
jowls, who, not finding the room to his
satisfaction, Immediately turned a
whitening glance on poor Jones.
Now Jones was sitting on the edge
Of nothing already, keeping his balance
by hanging on to the upright round
which goes ceilingward at that point.
Jones replied to the gesture with q
glare equally menacing.
The man frowned horribly.
This was too much for our peaceful
friend.
Glaring no less terribly in his turn
he inquired, audibly, If the gentleman
believed he, Jones, could move over as
much as an inch.
Tho cold not uord H,,t
continued to cast suspicious looks at
Jones' right trouser leg.
If you don't believe 7 am on the
edge" continued Jones, come here and
measure for yourself"
The gentleman refused the invitation,
but continued to distribute his best glare
in the direction of one Templeton Jones
right shoe.
Jones then invited the gentleman to
tell the assemblage why he hadn't taken
his Lincoln to work that morning, in
stead of boarding public vehicle.
A whitening silence met this sally,
which was greeted, howey1r. with
marked approval by the aSsemblage, in
Guiding the red-headed girl.
Jones was satisfied.
His good humor was restored.
Although he continued to cast an as
sortment of the choicest gisres, from
time to time. in the direction of the in
articulate one, his soul was as peaceful
as 1t was before the heavy jowled gen.
tleman had come aboard.
Jones pretended not to notice when
the rate passenger finally took va
Gated seat farther back. Victory re-
posed on the Jones banner all along the
line.
Poor fellow" said Jones to himself
he must have got out on the wrong
side of the bed this morning. Or his
breakfast didn't suit him. Or some
thing
Templeton Jones continued to bal
ance himself on his portion OF a seat,
along which he had not giver an inch
Now that the battle was over, he ad-
mitted to himself that he might have
moved over few inches. II he had no.
minded sitting merely on one leg in
stead of the usual two.
Jones was satisfied with himself Had
he not inquired, in the best manner of a
taxi-driver, why the gentleman hadn't
taken his own car to work, instead OF
putting on the dog" in a public We
hicle?
"A sly dog. that JONES'" thought
Jones.
