OUR LAST CLIPPER SHIP

OF historic interest is the sale of an
unusual antique, described as an item in
the art collection of Max Williams of
New York. It was 2,O0O-ton vessel, the
Benjamin F. Packard, last of the clipper
ships, saved from the scrap-heap as a
relic when placed out of commission q few
years ago.
The achievements of the long line of
American clipper ships which carried the
Stars and Stripes and bore American COM
merce on the seven seas are notable in the
history of navigation. These sturdy and
speedy vessels represented the last effort
of the sailing ship to compete with the
steamer on long voyages with heavy cargo.
Though finally defeated, they delayed the
victory of steam propulsion for many years.
First of the clipper type was the Rain
bow. built in 1843 at Baltimore, home of
a famous fleet of these fast vessels, which
transatlantic voyages. The quickest
crossing OF the Atlantic under sail is said
to have been that of the Dreadnought, New
York to Ireland, in IL days, in June, 1859.
Another famous record was that of
the Lightning, built in Boston, which once
sailed 1850 English miles in seven days.
The fastest days record ever made by
sailing ship on any sea was 437 miles in
"a hours by the Sovereign of the Seas,
during voyage between New York and
San Francisco.
From the Rainbow to the Benjamin
F. Packard these speedy clippers served
their owners and their country well. They
bore eloquent testimony to the genius of
American shipbuilders and to the con-
summate seamanship of American sailors.
Their glory is part of our national
heritage.

CUTTING THE RECORD"

A bill has been introduced in the
house to reduce the free circulation of the
Congressional Record by $4,000 copies
daily. Instead of every senator receiving
85 copies he would receive only five. Rep
resentatives would get four copies instead
of sixty. 1t is believed this simple move
would save $4,000 day on the govern
rnent's printing bill.
THE immediate detectives of the
legislation says its sponsor, Representa-
tive Cannon of Milwaukee, ARE economy
and the speeding up of legislation. When
members know that their speeches will be
franked to thousands of citizens in all
parts of the country, some very naturally
desire to speak often and at great length
on matters which merit little if any dis
custom
THE existing practice with regard to
the Congressional Record is in my opinion
colossal fraud on the taxpayers of the
country. If this bill is enacted, it will put
an end to the useless chatter daily heard
on the floor of the house by those anxious
to see their names printed in the Record. .
Perhaps that is too optimistic view,
yet the plan is certainly worth trying. The
Congressional Record ought to be an
honest record of public legislation. 1t
should not be publicity medium for sell
fish congressman. And it should not be so
overweighted with political speeches that
the citizen who receives it declines to
read it.

THE VALUE OF TRAVEL

Soon the vacation season will be here,
and many thousands of persons will visit
various interesting places for the first
time soon in our own country and others
abroad. While recreation viii be the
principal aim of many, majority will ex-
pect to learn something of permanent
value during their travels.
In order that one may derive the most
benefit from his travel experiences, It
would be well TO find out as much as pos
sible about the places TO be visited ahead
OF time. Then, when he actually sees the
places and objects of which he has studied,
he will gain more lasting impression Of
their significance.
Information gained from guides and
handbooks during ones travels i valuable,
Of course, but il is generally superficial.
and lacking in the historical background
which IS necessary for full under
standing. and appreciation of the famous
places where history has been made.
The educational value Of travel de-
ponds largely upon knowing beforehand
what one wants 10 see, and why.
