are giving their services. They are
Nina KoshetZ, Russian soprano; Harold
Bauer, pianist; Hans Kinder, Dutch
ceIlist and leader of the National SYM
phony Orchestra, and Paul Kochanski,

OF the Friends of Music in the Library
of Congress to present benefit con-
cert. However, due to the obvious
seriousness of need among the musi-
clans in the United States and espe-
cially in New York for help, this pro-
gram has been arranged. A special
committee of four members of the So
ciety volunteered to sell tie tickets,
which will be IS each. The members

|. c. c. REGULATION
OF AIR LINES ASKED
Bratton Bill Would Set Up
Declaration of National
Policy.
nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An attempt to bring the far-flung
airlines of the United States under the
same control which regulates the rail-
roads is on in Congress.
A bill to place aerial transport under
the Interstate Commerce Commission
has been introduced by Senator Brat
ton. Democrat, New Mexico. Besides the
regulatory feature, Bratton would set up
a declaration of national policy toward
aviation development.
The bill will be studied by the Inter-
state Commerce Committee, OF winch
Senator Couzens, Republican, Michigan,
is chairman. Couzen5 has planned hear
ings on other measures designed to bring
unregulated forms of transport, such as
interstate bus lines, under the commits
sion which rules the railroads.
In the policy declaration OF the Dill,
Bratton invoked not only coordination
of air commerce with the rest OF the
Transportation system as national OBJ
iectiye. but also declared for malnte-
nance and development of lighted air
ways, landing fields and flying equip
ment on the basis of their military use
in time of war.
Under the regulatory features, the
I. c. c. would be given authority over
any mergers, consultations or pu-
chaseS of airplanes by other lines. Rate
schedules would be under commission
supervision, and bonding or insurance
requirements would be set up to provide
a maximum of $4,000 per passenger in
case of injury or death.
For intelligent and sympathetic reg
ulation, Bratton would have the mem
bership of the commission include at all
times one man possessed of special
knowledge of air transportation.

even to the hot countries, where they
have been exposed to the sun. The
colors today are as firm as the day they
were dyed"-and she turned the wrong
side of a wall tapestry against the right
to show that the coloring, as well as the
design was exactly the same.
Incidentally, one thing that distin-
guishes Norwegian tapestry from that
of France is that the former has the
same identical design on both sides"
Surely enough, there in the dining
room hung a massive piece, probably 10
feet by IL, portraying four devout maid
ems bearing altar gifts to q cathedral,
the design exactly the same on both

work on 1t, I shall start by copying IT
about five times larger on a great sheet
Of paper. Then the wool must be dyed

the painting, and shall be ready to

And what task that must be! When
asked how long it would take her to
complete a piece, she replied:
"Of/ course, it depends upon how
steadily I am permitted to work at it.

emplifled In the Winter sports, but to

In the opinion of Nine Bachke. not

name and fame Of Norway far and wide
but musicians as we'll have done their
bit. Among these latter she would rank
Grieg and Sinding among the first.
"Grieg," she said, has been called
the highest representative of the Morse

The Pershing Incident

Newton D. Bakers recent revela-
ton that David Lloyd George, as
premier Of England, made spirited
protest against General Pershing's
presence as commander of the A. E.
F. early in 1918, is not exactly sur
prising. Pershing was not popular
with any of the allied politicians in
those days. He had too pronounced
ideas about preserving his army as
fighting unit. They were unable
to work him as they had planned to
do.
The interesting thing about Mr..
Bakers revelation is the news that
Lloyd George, after his outburst, re-
pented and sent an aide to tell Mr..
Baker that he should "think no
more" about it. Anyone familiar
with Mr.. Bakers career could have
told the wartime premier that that
advice was needless. AS far as COM
plants against Pershing were con-
cerned, Mr. Baker steadfastly
thought no more" about them from
start to finish.

Dreamers

Usually a landlord will fight like
grim death to make a delinquent
tenant pay what he owes. But the
New York courts the other day saw
a case in which a landlord was so
anxious to have tenant move out
that he offered to forget three
months back rent that was due and
agreed to pay the tenant a $40 cash
bonus besides.
The tenant was sculptor-a
dreamy chap addicted to modernism.
who had all of the self-esteem Of
the traditional artist but who could
not find, anywhere, market for his
wares, and who consequently never
had any money or any prospects Of
getting any.
The landlord, discouraged, told the
Judge. II was good to him, and I tried
70 understand his ways, but he is a
dreamer-you know what dreamer
is?"
And that remark, somehow, gives
one . good deal OF sympathy for this
landlord. For the dreamer can be
one Of the most exasperating of NOR
tails to deal with, because he does
not live in the same world that the
,.oet - ,Is iy,Y,a hit hY1t OnnS about
in q special world Of his own, and
lives by its laws, and gives to us Of

comes close to a realization Of his
dream. He supplies the world with
its cranks, its eccentric hermits, its
incompetents, its ridiculous freaks;
people who have to get along with
him usually find their patience sorely
tried, and those who are dependent
on him are generally out Of luck.
But you never know. Once in a
great while the dreamer fools you,
and makes his dream come true. He
has an unaccountable way of turning
out to be Peter the Hermit, setting
all of Europe ablaze, or a James
Watt, tinkering with a machine that
causes mankind to remake its civil
ization, or an Orville Wright, teach
ing men to fly through the air and
over the sea; and because the bor-
derline between genius and footless
eccentricity is so hazy, dealing with
a dreamer is a discomforting bust
ness.

A New Day For Duluth.
Duluth Herald)
Duluth to the sea!

Duluth to the sea!
A vision that has colored the
dreams of Duluth and the North
west for many years is at last to
be realized.
It is difficult to resist using all the
superlatives of enthusiasm when re-
ferring to Mondays announcement
that representatives Of Canada and
the United States have finally sign
ed the treaty that will make Duluth
accessible to the oceans of the world,
for when President Hoover called it
1.-The greatest internal Improvement
yet undertaken on the North Ameri-
can continent" he did not exagger-
ate.
For the significance of the st.
Lawrence project is not its potential
benefit to the Head of the Lakes
that is merely incidental-but it will
be tremendous factor in the whole
transportation field. Every commod-
ity produced in the Northwest will
ultimately feel its influence.
So far as ratification Of the treaty
by the American senate and the Can
adian parliament is concerned, a
careful reading OF its text discloses
no insuperable difficulties. Chicago
may want more water for its sewage
canal, but the treaty conforms to the
decision of the United States supreme
court which treats Chicago very lib
orally, besides providing plenty of
water for the maintenance of the
nine foot river channel from Chicago
to the Mississippi. Quebec, too, may
interpose some objections. but senti-
ment in the rest of Canada will over
ride any obstructive tactics. There
are also some power problems, but
these are merely details which will
all be adjusted amicably. The great
central fact is that the two govern
ments have decided that the water
way is necessity and they will soor
be ready to begin work.
The work may take five or sever
years, authorities differing somewha
on that point, but when finally com
pleted the enterprise will be an i'm
7 perishable monument to the cooper
alive genius of two great nations de-
termined to live and work in har.
mony and peace.
To Duluth it will have a specia
and more personal significance. In
