A TEST FOR OCEAN FLYING

IN world grown dizzy by chasing its tail
u around a spiraled path of economics and
politics, it is difficult to spare much time for
contemplation of activities more spectacular
than useful
Nevertheless, it is worth noticing that the
Italian aviation corps is about to put on one
of the most sensational shows that fliers ever
have attempted.
Late in May a squadron of twenty -four
italian seaplanes, under the leadership of
General Italo Balbo, will attempt to fly from
Italy to Chicago
This stunt of course, will tie in with the
Century of Progress exposition on Chicagos

of considerable value for the italian govern
ment. 1t will, also-if it is blessed with any
measure of success-do a great deal to hasten
the day when regular trans oceanic air services
are commonplace.
One hundred filters have been chosen to
take part in this flight, and in preparation
for it they are being trained as vigorously as
any group Of Olympic athletes. Italy is TAX
ing no chances on failure. Machines and men
will be in the best possible condition.
And the very thought of these two dozen
airplanes winging their way across the ocean
in a body is exciting.
There will be people, of course. who will be
quick to proclaim that such flight en-
phasizes our need for stronger military de-
lenses against hostile air fleets
The old bogeys of the destruction of New
York and Washington by bombs will be hauled
out again; the old story about the new
supremacy of the airplane will be chanted
anew.
These arguments can be left to congress
and our military authorities. For the ordinary
citizens the flight will be noteworthy as a
demonstration of the reliability OF the airplane
as an instrument of long distance communica-
ton
If squadron Of this size can accomplish
an ocean crossing. it viii be fairly obvious that
regular TRANSATLANTIC air services can and

An interesting announcement was
made a few days ago by the hydro
electric commission of the province
of Ontario, Canada, which has con-
troll of the governmental owned hydro
plant of that province, and offers
startling comparison in respect
to the story printed in The Times
of Thursday as to electric rates
charged in indianapolis.
The Ontario commission an
nounced that it would install cleo
trio water heaters in $4,000 house
holds in the province without
charge, to increase the use of cleo
trio current and make work for the
unemployed.
The commission said there would
be a fiat rate of about So a month
for the current for a constant sup
ply of hot water from the thirty
gallon tanks to be installed.
This government owned and con-
trolled electric company has about
100000 customers in the province,
and the commission estimated that
at least 10 per cent of these patrons
will apply for heater installation.
The commission inStalls the heat
er, thermostat, Insulation and all
wiring; the customer is out nothing.
The heater, of course, remains the
property of the commission.

from 10 to Is times. At no time
should the second person use as
much power as the first.
g. Older children and adults can
perform this exercise as follows:
The right foot is turned inward and
upward and held in that position,
firmly.
The left foot is placed against the
right, and attempts to force the
right outward, which effort the right
foot resists. Then the feet are re-
versed.

Crossing Bridges

A ND surely this party Will not
L n waste its time in endless argu-
mentS as to the precise technique
it will employ to come into power.
1t will realize that circumstances
determine the general conduct of
leadership in any given situation.
The best efforts of the party will
be to bring about the complete re-
construction of the world without
violence. 1t never will become so
confused as to identify every sort
Of rioting as revolutionary activity.
1t will realize that there are many
kinds Of pressure more effective
than bayonets. But no man or set
of men can be wise enough to write
out complete ticket on the precise
course of events ten years from to-
day or even one.
Most of all, this new party will
not indulge in the gross and violent
partisan exaggeration which has
marred so much radical propaganda.
For instance, it will regard Presi-
dent RooSevelt'S attempt to solve
the unemployment problem by re-
cruiting 100000 men for forestry
service as a futile and rather pitt
full clutch at a nations bootstraps.
1t will not insist that this is a grave
and serious attempt to form a band
of Nazi shock troops.
Martyrdom as a necessary step in
a given situation will be applauded
but there will be no attempt to
manufacture martyrs or to look at
the world as place composed of
shining heroes and deep-dyed vii
lains.
The party could support a Social
ist candidate in some circumstances
and in others a Communist. It
would be willing to join any group
in just fight. But, in any case.
it would avoid denomination and
hersey trials of any sort. And, nat
urally, there would be no patron
saint or a belief in revealed eco
Monies.
L think the Socialist party in
America was hurt fatally by Morris
Hillquit at the Milwaukee conyen-
ton. Mr.. Hillquit has put many
years of hard work into the affairs
OF the party. But he has come to
feel sense Of ownership. That is
a pity, for Mr.. Hillquit has grown
tired.
He insisted on disrupting the Or
ganization for the sake of his own
personal glory. He raised a wholly
false issue of anti-Semitism and
wrapped himself in his gabardine.

A Woman's Viewpoint

TN world where much unhap-
Il piness is to be found, there
seems to be a lot Of useless SYM
pathy wasted upon the unmarried
woman.
The psychologists, ably abetted by
the writer's, have built up an ideal
of the person whom We once called
"old maid" that does not fit that
individual in real life.
Some of the happiest people I
know are middle-aged unmarried
women. The fun they get out of liv-
ing may not be particularly comp
limentary to the male ego, which
long ago set up the theory that
woman can not live outside the
holy state of wedlock, but it is the
sort that many wife goes envying.
And the contented spinster is
something new under the sun. Fifty
years ago you could have travelled
a long way without finding her like.
In many respects she is the most
nearly sane woman in the land, be-
cause she has discarded a great deal
Of nonsense from her thinking.
She has not lost her faith in men
or in marriage, nor her zest for life,
nor her eagerness to meet its every
challenge. But she has reached a
state Of mental maturity where she

Nonsense. There were the Dem

suppose the experience of the Rus
sian ruble, the German mark, or
countless others means nothing.
It is time for the sane minority
to fight. The mob is mad. Roose-
welt is o. K. but, being Democrat,

1t Seems

NEW YORK, May al am

starting a new political party. In
spite of the fact that many have
pointed out the difficulties of anv
such procedure, I anticipate none
You see, in the beginning there Will
be just one member, and I doubt
that there ever will be any more.
We even may decide to have less.
In fact, think that our organiza-
ton will be better off if there is no
such thing as membership.
And, of course. there will be no
name. because that always makes
trouble. AT the moment of writing

Socialists Of Germany or England
do something of which I wholly dis
approve either must pretend to

Pace Is Too SIo1O
SLOTHFIu.NESS

A SLOTHFULNESS, almost a
L N timidity, has been the inheri-
lance OF the Socialist party. 1t has
remained out of movements which
1t should have entered, largely to
guard a paste jewel called prestige.
The Communists are rambunc-
tious and active enough, but they
have deserted sound radical prin-
cipleS on many occasions for the
sake OF opportuniSm. This over
anxiety to make a showing has be-
trayed them into such reactionary
behavior as support for every kind
OF pension graft and the adoption
of a Garvey-like plant of self
determination for the black belt"
which sounds to me like the surest
possible way to perpetuate race diff
ferences.
And so from now on until I
change my mind I have left the bed
and board of all political associa-
tons. They are not responsible for
what do and say.
In the past I may have said
things which embarrassed them.
But, for that matter, sometimes
they embarrassed me.

rent, most of it selling for less than
2 cents a killowat to household con-
sumers. AS the man said who sWal-
lowed his first oyster, that's not
very hard to take" But try to
imagine privately owned electric
companies doing anything like that!
Ignorance, neglect or contempt of
human rights are the usual causes
for the people not having what they
justly ought to have, including low
priced utilities-gas, water, electri-
city and telephone service. But
none of us does anything about it.

Calls for SANITY

for wartime muzzling of opinion.
If we are at war, let congress
name the enemy. In 1886 our
slogan may be vote Republican

Above the hills the moon mounts

And bids farewell to dying day.

United Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-The selling
movement started on belief that the
government was launched on a
definite sound money policy, carried
over into the stock market today
but exhausted itself shortly before
the close and many issues pulled ur
appreciably from their lows.
The opening was heavy. Only
utilities managed to survive the
weight placed by liquidation from
day-to-day traders. AS the session
proceeded the market was carried
down farther, with leaders showing
losses ranging to more than 2
points. There was no tremendous
selling but steady pounding down
of values.
Utilities Strong
Then toward the close some short
covering started, influenced some
what by the continued strength of
utilities which we're led by American
Telephone, and the whole list
started moving back up. In many
cases losses were erased and gains
substituted.
Trading was greatly similar to
that Friday when the market begged
down under weight of imitation
selling. The international crisis,
precipitated by Germany's with
drawal from the League of Nations,
made little difficulty. London houses
reported conditions about normal
with no trading of consequence COM
ing across the Atlantic.
But domestic conditions contin-
ued to bring out selling, although
brokers reported it was purely pro-
fessional and that the public did not
seem inclined to sell what holdings
it may have.
Industrials Weak
One trade prominent in disposing
of Commercial Solvents and steel
on Friday, was selling rather gen.
orally in the forepart of today's
session.
Utilities, however, managed to
override the depressing influence
in other groups. American Tele-
phone, sluggish of late, moved for
ward briskly to more than a point
gain while Consolidated Gas showed
fractional advance. These gains,
despite losses of more than a point
in rails, fractions to almost points
in industrials and fractional weak
ness in alcohol shares.
