WASHINGTON, Sept. II. The

talked and one who listened, were
the chief attractions in the first
two weeks of the senate's latest
show-the Nye committees NUM-

The takers were Pierre S.. Lam

ing members of the giant E. I. Du
Pont De Nemours company. A.
Felix, a cousin, and the youngest,
listened.
Some thoughts passed on to the
committee by the brothers:
Pierre-"Let's have one of these
Investigations once or twice a year
and spend only day at it rather
than once every 20 years and spend
week at it."
Irenee-"I believe in competitive
principles in business. I've never
seen a monopoly yet that didn't
go 70 seed"
Lammot-"My Interpretation of
a 'gentlemans agreement is one
not executed but effected"
Pierre-"Not a pound of our powd-
er was found defective in the war.
The allies were glad to pay us
what they did" (They bought more
than $1,OO0,OO0,OOO worth Of Du
Pont products)
Irenee-"Without our help the
allies could not have won the war
and Germany would have made
America German colony"

NEWPORT, r. l., Sept. IT, The
air we breathe, boys and girls, is
composed of the following elements.
Hydrogen, oxygen, nitro gen, he
| lium "a trace and a dash of Ango-
stura Bitters.
1t is very useful for maintaining
human life, and is also used, rather
imperfectly in fishes gills. 1t is air,
too, that makes electric fans and
vacuum sweepers practicable, makes
trees sway, persimmons fall to the
ground, and dries the nightshirts
hung on clothes line.
In fact, one could list million
uses for air, yet, despite its all
round utility and our almost com
plete dependence upon it, one
doesn't fully appreciate air until
one attends an Americas cup race.
Here at Newport, where Rainbow
and Endeavour are sailing, air is
almost the sole topic of converse
ton. First, this is bit wearisome,
particularly fer those who pride
themselves as conversationalists and
an ability to discuss cabbages and
kings, broccoli and eir-apparents,
Irutabagas and usurpers.
But stay here few days and you
find yourself getting interested in
air, and talking about it all the
time. Two days ago, for example,
the only air I was interested i'll was
the little patch Oh puff directly in
front of my nose, which, If l may
digress, is of the Graeco- Roman or
catch. .as-catch can style. AS long as
it was there (the little puff or
patch,) ready to course through my
lungs and thence into my veins to
aid the red corpuscles in their
never ending fight with the whites
or Hitch cocks team, was satisfied
But now the first thing I do in
the morning is stick my head out OF
the window and sniff. Along with
other yachtsmen 1 want to know
where the wind is from-south
olJbeast, south by southeast
north by MOI theast, or Pittsburgh. ]
want to know whether it's light or
heavy, wet or dry, patchy or steady
thick or thin, soft or firm, sink or
swim. Furthermore, I'm interested
in it's density, intensity, humidity,
volatility, tensile strength, stress,
strain and torsion.
There is a reason why we yachts
men have to know all this. Because
of the peculiar structure of a sail
boat it requires wind to proceed
around the course. And every wind
requires a different sail. We experts
know that it would be futile, and
make us the laughing stock of the
marine world, to set our spinnakers
abaft in heavy air. In light, OF Gil
bert and Sullivan airs, to give them
their technical name, yes. But in
heavy or Wagner airs, they mustn't
be set abaft. And in patchy air there
is only one thing to use-a Mae
West or Guinea jib, reinforced by
princess slip cut on the bias. The
slip spoils the view somewhat, but
is invaluable, particularly in round
ing corners in high wind.
You may go, now children. that
is, all but you, Johnny. You must
stay in after class and write on the
blackboard one hundred times,
yachting is a silly sport"

YACHTS READY
FOR CUP RACE
By SIDNEY b. WHIPPLE

NEWPORT, R. l., Sept. II. tU.R)
"A sharp, driving rain fell as the
Endeavour and Rainbow prepared
for today's race for the Americas
cup. There was good southeast
wind, however, and postponement
did not seem likely.
The sailors were sick and disgust
ed with Saturdays drifting match,
A rowboat, a mud-scow, or greasy
mackerel fisherman with burned
out motor could have gone around
the course Saturday as quickly as
did the two million-dollar piles of
white canvas and shining steel.
The two crews, one of profession
al sailors commanded by Harold s.
Vanderbilt, the other a group of en-
thusiastic amateurs who gathered
around Thomas o. M. Sopwith,
spent Sunday calculating the
chances of the sloops. But they
were still as uncertain about the
merits of the royal yacht squadron's
contender as they were the day
Sopwith brought it across the AZ
lantic.
Saturdays match, declared no
contest" because neither boat fin
ished the 80 miles within the 5h-
hour time limit allowed by the
rules, proved nothing more than
that the races will not be Roman
holiday for Vanderbilt. Endeavour
is so much better than any one of
Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrocks
that there is no comparison.
The same excursion fleet, aug
mented by a few hundred more
craft, moved out to sea with the
big racers today and the same
heavy guard of patrol boats, from
the navy and coast guard services,
herded them between two wide
lanes.
Today's race, like Saturdays will
be 30-mile match, Is miles to
windward and Is miles back, run
ming down the wind. Since Sat
urday's match was declared no con-
test, today's race counts on the Of
ficial logs as number one in the
series.

THE CONSTITUTION

Today marks the 147th anniversary of
the adoption of the United States con-
stitution at independence Hall, Philadel-
phia, and all this week is dedicated to
fostering a greater interest in, and re-
spect for, the constitution.
In these days when out and out radi-
Gals are seeking to tear down the consti-
tuition, and so-called liberals scott at it
and are as bad as Communists in at
tempting to weaken it, true lovers of
their country should be inspired to
greater love for the greatest govern
mental document that ever came from
the minds of men.
Starting today, and continuing for six
days, The Press will present brief ar
ticle on the constitution. 1t is recon-
mended that readers clip and save them.
In families with children attending
school, they provide a fine subject for
family discussion. The Communists seek
recruits for their work among the young
er people and American youngsters must
be guarded from their snares.
This is the first of series of six ar
ticles reviewing the history and contents
of the U. S. constitution, in observance of
Constitution Week" and the 147th ami
versary of the constitutions birth, Sep
tember II, 1887.
The constitution of the United States,
which is lat years old today is an out
growth of the failure of the articles of
confederation, by which the original 13
colonies held together during the revolu-
tion.
Under the confederation, there was no
president to enforce the laws. Congress
could not raise money directly and the
states were lax in furnishing funds.
Furthermore, congress could not regu-
late commerce among the states and with
foreign countries, and could not even
prevent the states from issuing paper
money.
delphia, 'to revise the articles of confed-
eration.' The greatest men of the time
took part in that convention George
Washington lent dignity and solemnity
to it. Benjamin Franklin, then 80, gave
of his experience and wisdom.
James Madison made thorough study
of previous conventions in history and
drew up the famous Virginia plan,"
which became the basis for the constitu-
ton.
But not before several compromises
had been effected Three compromises
are most important. The first resulted
in a two-house legislature, the senate
having equal state representation to ap-
pease the smaller states; the house of
representatives having proportional rep
resentation to appease the larger states.
A second compromise permitted count
ing slaves as three-fifths, for both taxa
ton and representation. And the third
agreement satisfied the north with the
passage of navigation acts by majority
OF congress, and the south with importa-
ton OF slaves for the next 20 years, at
tax of no more than $40 head.
And SO the constitution was signed
September IL, 1889, and submitted to the
states for ratification by at least nine of
the IL. New Hampshire became the
ninth state on June 81, 1888, and the
constitution then became the funda-
mental law of the United States

Will be largely kindly world.
1t is to be regretted that so many
adults take resumption of the school
year so casually. 1t is really an import
ant event, not only in the lives of the
youngsters but in the life of the commu
nifty.
A tree education, such as this nation
affords its children, is not only a won
derful opportunity but it is a great
blessing. What a difference from the
customs in some other countries and
from former days in many countries,
where education was restricted to the
children of the wealthy.
We may talk of agriculture, industry,
commerce, the courts, or any other in
stitution being figuratively the backbone
Of the country or its cornerstone, as we
so often do, yet the fact remains that all
these must give way before the home, the
church and the school-the trinity which
form the greatest moulders of character
in the world
Sometimes we hear criticism of school
costs. In the main they are not justified.
School is worth all that it costs and none
knows this better than the American
people, who have sacrificed all through
the years that their children might re-
ceive educations, in most cases better
educations than their parents received.
We have reason to be proud of our
schools and we should guard them care
fully from any attempt to weaken them
in any way Their past record is their
best argument for the fullest kind of
support. If we see to it that they hold
fast to the fine ideals and sound funda-
mentals which have come down to us
through the history of American educa-
tion, we need have no fear that they will
not continue to turn out what this coun-
try needs above all else-an enlightened
citizenship, clear-minded, intelligent, pa.
triotic and right-thinking men and
women.

Heavyweights Will Battle in Germany Before Sure
 ''SellOut'' Crowd

Hamburg, Germany, Nov h.. (UP)-Germany again has been projected into the heavyweight situation, and Max Schmeling, native son, will attempt to con- tinue along the comeback trail he hopes will lead to the crown he once wore.
 Schmeling and Steve Hamas have been matched for a 15- round return bout in Germany, and a quest has begun for a place big enough to seat the crowd.
 Charley Harvey, New York, man. ager of the American heavyweight. accepted terms by cable yesterday for his heavyweight, to meet the Black Uhlan, who started a come back recently by knocking out Walter Neusel, a fellow country man.
 Just Right
 That Schmeling victory, a win over Schmeling by Hamas at Phila- delphia and another over Art Las key at New York more recently, leaving the difficulty of obtaining a place to seat the crowd. The fight itself is natural for Ger many.
 It will be promoted by Walter Rothenberg, who staged the Schmeling- -Neusel fight. The fbig- gest arena in Germank. at Frank fort Am Main, seats only 15,000 persons and the next in size is the Berlin Sports Palace with facilities for .12,000.
 The bout will be billed as an elimination to obtain an opponent for Champion Max Baer.
