Bachelors Completed
COtilliOn Series Last Night.
One of the gayest of dancing parties
was given last evening when the Wash
ington Bachelors brought their series OF
cotillions to a close. More than 400
from diplomatic, official and resident
circles attended
Combined with flags of all the nations
were hundreds of variegated balloons
which added much color to the scene
Another unusual feature was the wear
ing by all the men present of wide RED
satin ribbons attached on one shoulder
and fastened to the opposite lapel with
a large medallion, giving the effect OF
decorations worn by members of the
diplomatic service. These ribbons were
given the men as souvenirs of the ball.
The favors for the ladies, the most
elaborate yet given by the bachelors
were dainty silk boudoir pillows and
chiffon handkerchiefs. the latter very
cleverly arranged in red valentine boxes
with quaint old-fashioned paper lace

SPEED NOT ESSENTIAL

&, COMMENCING Friday motorists in Cal
ifornia will be within their legal rights
if they drive their cars 45 miles an hour
on open highways, the law increasing
the speed limit from 40 to 45 miles per
hour, passed by the recent legislature,
becoming effective on that date.
There is opportunity for reflection on
the warning given by the traffic officers.
that increasing the speed limit does not
mean that motorists are entitled to drive
40 miles an hour under all circumstances.
This speed is legal for the open road
where there is minimum Of opportunity
for accidents, if all drive in conformity
with the law.
1t is only natural that there will be
some drivers who will take the As mile
limit as legal for all occasions and it is
to be hoped that those who do so will
find themselves having plenty of grief.
There are times when a speed in eX-
cess of 45 miles is not dangerous, even
though it may be technically illegal. On
long desert stretches such as we have
here, when cars are in good condition and
not travelling junk heaps, high speed can
be made with safety to all. But general
ly speaking, 45 miles is plenty fast
enough. A lot of ground can be covered
IN day at this speed.
California's death toll from automobile
accidents is continually increasing, de-
spite all efforts to curb it. 1t is bound
to continue to increase just SO long as
drivers are willing to take chances with
out giving consideration to their own
safety or the safety of others. And the
chance which is taken most often is the
result of giving way to the desire to
"step on the gas. Speed seems to be es-
sential for some drivers, even though
they may be going only few blocks.
Until the majority of drivers can real
ize that compared to a few decades ago
even % miles an hour is speed, accidents
are going to continue increasing.

4 REAL AVIATOR

THERE is something particularly pathe-
tic about the disappearance of Parker
Cramer, American aviator, reported lost
enroute from the Shetland Islands to
Norway
Parker had two spectacular, if unsuc-
cessful, attempts to cross the north At
lantic, to his credit.
Last month, while some other flyers
of both sexes, were getting reams of pub
licity about flights which they made or
were going to make merely for the no.
toriety attached to such flights, Cramer
set out on a purely commercial venture
There was no fanfare, no days and
days of flight delayed because of wealth
er conditions He was in Europe be-
fore any Of US knew about it. Careful
study had convinced him that profit
able commercial air route to Europe
could be built up by using the short trail
via Greenland, making the latter a stop
ping point on the journey.
He was seeking additional data on such
a route when he left last Saturday for
Norway. He has not been heard from
since and apparently is lost in the icy
waters of the North sea.
Cramer was figure whom aviation
could i'll afford to lose. He saw it pure
ly from the commercial side, and that is
the side it must be developed from if av-
iation is to take the place in the world
that its supporters desire to have II take.
