Britain in the Air.


For the first time on record Empire
day, May "a, was celebrated in Lon
don as Empire Air day. In the pres
ence of King George and Queen Mary
and eighty-one thousand other en-
thusiastic spectators, the Royal Air
Force staged a dramatic exhibition
designed to stimulate national inter-
est in aviation.
It is significant that at the mo-
ment John Bulls people are more
absorbed in their defenses in the air
than on the sea. His majesty's gov
ernment, while appropriately con-
cerned with three-power diplomatic
conversations" about Anglo-Ameri-
can-Japanese naval questions, is pre-
occupied with the expansion of Great
Britain's air armament. One reason
why the British would deplore any
action that might require additional
naval expenditure is that they desire
to devote any budget surplus avail
able for national defense to tncreas-
ing their air fleet.

A DAY OF SACRED MEMORIES
BY THE RIGHT REY. JAMES FREEMAN D. D, L. D. D. c. q
Bishop Of Washneton

We largely shape the present and
the future by remembering the Incl
dents and experiences that have
made our lives what they are. Mem
ory serves large purpose where 1t
treasures the lives and deeds Of those
whose sacrifices have made and pre-
served US a nation. "It is not death
to live in the hearts Of those who
love u.s." wrote Marie Corelli. We
should have little assurance of our
future did we not reckon with the
story Of our past.
Boast as we may about our genius
and our capacity to carry on, we are
what we are and where we are be-
cause of what has gone before. The
old admonition, Look unto the rock
whence ye are hewn," is valuable
one.
In another day a great leader
admonished his people, saying to
them: Thou shalt remember all the
way which the Lord thy God led
thee" It was an admonition given
to them in time Of great transition.
They were entering upon q new and
larger and more profitable experience,
after having passed through long
period of trial and suffering. The
fear of their leader was that once
they had entered upon q better day
they would forget all that their
period Of discipline and trial had
taught them. It has often been said
that experience is the best teacher,
and yet it frequently happens that
individuals and peoples profit little
from this source.
America stands among the nations
Of the world as young. but with a
record that Is quite Incompatible.
She is still youthful enough to be
plastic and responsive to that which
new conditions impose. When she
looks forward to q new day she Is
bound to regard 1t in the Light of
past experience.
Recurring anniversaries, like Me-
mortal day, compel us to think of
the great sacrifices that have been
made in making our country what 1t
Is. Quite apart from the rare genius
in craftsmanship disclosed by the
leaders who have directed our affairs
in other days, we may not forget
that, in the Qain, they were men of

mains vulnerable from the sky-as
open to attack as If she were a con-
tinental instead as an insular power.
Now 1t Is the menace Of another Ger
man air feet that awakens the Brit
ish government and people to perils
in the sky.
Speaking on Empire Air day, the
Marques of Londonderry, secretary
for air in the British cabinet, empha-
sized the importance Of an invincible
air force. He deprecated placing any
reliance on international pacts to
abolish air warfare. Whatever form
the, universal desire to maintain peace
may ultimately take" said Lord Lon
donderry, Eve have made up our
minds that at all events the Royal Air
Force must be sufficient in numbers
to insure our safety. We hope the
situation will never arise. but a people
whose life is at stake can hardly be
expected to deny themselves the use
Of aircraft as long as their country is
liable to be harassed by long-range
shelling or their overseas food sup
plies blockaded."
The reasons which impel our Brit
ish cousins to guard the air ap-
proaches to their shores are clear
and sound. Apparently Britannia in
tends to rule the ether in her irnme-
diate vicinity as, ever since Trafalgar,
she has ruled the waves. Different
as Britains geographical conditions
are from our own, her determination
to make herself formidable in the air
as well as at sea carries a lesson that
should not be lost on the United
States.

storm 1t may come as o surprise that
he was seeing a good deal. The dust
contained volcanic glass, quartz, field
spar, mica, tourmaline, zircon, horn
blende, diatom tests, spores, pollen
and vegetable fibers. Moveover, of
the volcanic glass, there were two
distinct varieties, one colorless and
the other black. Counting the two
glass varieties, this makes an even
dozen separate constituents, each
particle SO fine as to require micro
scopic examination. The particles
range In size from 0003 millimeters in
diameter or length to few huge ones
millimeter. These big fellows, II
placed on black paper, are Just barely
visible to the naked eye in good con-
dition. Some of the particles are
identified as hailing from New Mex
leo, some from the Great Plains.
M. r. Hovde of the Huron, s. OAK,
Weather Bureau station, has reported
in careful detail on the great dust
storm of last November. Spectacular
becomes a weak word" he says, when
applied to this storm. It was awful,
terrifying-the bowling winds and a
darkness that turned the midday into
night will never be forgotten"
Air Laden With Electricity.
There is another angle to the storms
OF this character in regions where
their intensity is greatest. The vast
tonnage Of mineral matter In the air
appears to hold electricity in enormous
volume. Persons touching gateposts
received electric shocks. Telephone
poles which were not struck by light.
ming were, nevertheless, burned or
charred. Automobiles were stalled and
wireless aerials cracked and sputtered
meaninglessly. The very air seemed
a menace, especially at the places
where visibility reached zero. No
window-stripping could prevent the
dust from sitting into buildings.
In the May duststorm the deposit
Of dust on the highways was so heavy
in Indiana that it impeded traffic and
snowplows had to be brought out to
clear 1t away.
1t must not be thought that the dust
deposited had been picked up only a
short time before. Some of it may
have been, but most of it may have
been in the air for a considerable pc
riod. For example, it has been sug-
gested that some of the particles found
in the dust analyzed at Buffalo came
| from Alaska. 1t is possible for large
quantities of dust to be suspended in
the air-in fact, there always Is some
dust in the air-and then, by a series
of meteorological effects, concentrated.
Such a concentration would probably
involve a pressing down of the dust
in the higher atmosphere. thus thick
ening the whole mass.
A great deal Of attention Is being
bent on these new duststorms of wide
incidence because of the possible ef-
feet on soils. There are known to
biologists formations called aerolian
minerals; that is, minerals which come
from the winds. Just now much In
terest is being bent on the problem Of
soil erosion. Among these aerolian
minerals are such substances as DO
tassium and other natural fertilizers.
With the advent Of these widespread
duststorms, it is possible there has
dawned new era of natural refertili-
zation of great areas Of the American
soil

The Advent of the Duststorm
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

There are indications that North
America IS to be the scene Of type
of storm new to it-the duststorm. It
is true that duststorms have been
more or less common phenomena in
the Middle West for years, but they
have been chiefly local. covering but
relatively small area. But on No
vember II, last, there occurred a dust
storm Of such magnitude as to aston
iSh observers Of the United States
Weather Bureau 1t extended from
Montana to Lake Superior and south
to the Ohio and Lower Missouri
Rivers. This is a region greater than
France, Italy and Hungary combined,
and the Weather Bureau looked upon
it as a record disturbance.
But on May 8, 10 and II, just
passed, there occurred a duststorm
OF such sweeping proportions as to
make the November storm seem local
by comparison. The May storm af-
fected Canada, the whole Northwest
ern area, all of the Middle West and
the Great Lakes region, invaded the
lachian Range, blanketed the East
and, finally moved out to sea, but not
until New York-so seemingly remote
from the Far West-was shrouded.
For one record storm to be followed,
after six months, by another so far
surprising 1t suggests the possibility
that the duststorm may become a
meteorological institution in the
United States. Certainly, the May
phenomenon brought almost the whole
American people a spectacle the like
of which the great majority of them
had never seen before.
What Is duststorm? The Weather
Bureau describes three outstanding
types. The first is the whirlwind
type. This Is the sort with which
the Middle West has been chiefly
familiar. The whirling motion Of the
wind takes up surface dust and car
ries it high into the air. Such storms
are Of local incidence and brief du-
ration. The second Is called the
shift-wind type. This occurs where
opposing air currents produce a COM
motion which lifts the dust and this
also is local. The third is the straight
wind type. In this storm the wind
blows steadily in one direction and
the duststorm thus created is likely
to prove of longer duration.
Analysis of November Duststorm.
. There has not yet been time to OBJ
tain reports on the content of the
atmosphere in the great duststorm
of May 9, 10 and II, but an analysis
Of the November storm is at hand. OF
course, there would be some differ
ences in the content over different
areas. This analysis was made Of
the dust over Buffalo by A. E. Alex
ander of the Buffalo Weather Bureau.
1t Is interesting to note that on the
occasion of the November duststorm
snow was falling. 1t was observed
that the falling fakes were definitely
diScolored. Some five inches of snow
already lay on the ground. The fresh
fall laid over the previous normal,
white snow, layer Of discolored
snow.
The dust-laden snow was subjected
to the most searching microscopic ex-
animation. To the layman who
looked at the dust borne on the recent

it illegal for Senator or q Represen-
tative to appear for any applicant
for q loan.
II will state the principle on which
this amendment Is based" said the
Senator. THE principle Is that II
the Government is to engage in any
kind of business, either directly or
through agencies or bureaus. those
agencies and bureaus should act
wholly free from any kind of political
influence and solely and exclusively
by reason of a paramount sense Of
public duty, and they should be free
from the pressure of political agents:
and include in that the principle
that they should be free from the
pressure Of Senators and Representa-
tives."
That principle, however, Is not
generally popular In Washington. 1t
failed to prevail when Senator Norris,
Republican, of Nebraska, sought to
have 1t apply to the Home Owners
Loan Corporation with $4,000, 900 900
Of Government credit at its disposal.
Congress refused to agree that poll
tical party afiliation should not be q
consideration in the management Of
this huge fund.
~
Harold Ickes, Secretary of the In
terror. and administrator Of public
works. with $500, 600, 900 to appor-
ton, has had to tax his ingenuity and
slow up the spending of this money
to guard against graft and to mini
mize political pressure. So many
restrictions had to be imposed that
the effect of the public works pro-
gram as an employment creator has
largely been lost until now.
It was politics and the abuse by
politicians of the powers given them
that had much to do with the hur-
ried oiscontinuance Of the Civil Works
Administration last March. The
sight of such an amount Of money
flowing out into circulation was a
little too much for many hungry local
political organizations.
One of the commonest complaints
of Congressmen is that some Of the
thousands Of new Federal jobs are
going to Republicans. Frequent moves
are made to increase the number OF
jobs the appointees Of which must be
confirmed by the Senate. so that Con-
gressmen will be able to dictate the
appointments. Stories are told of
plots by Republican ofiice holders to
keep Democrats out Of office.
Senator Norris tells of q case where
another member of the Senate re-
Gently received a letter from a con-
stituent who insisted that the Senator
appear before q Government depart
ment and represent him In pressing a
claim. The Senator refused on the
ground that it was wrong and un-
ethical for him to act In that fashion.
The constituent then wrote to the
Government department to ask
whether other Senators appeared for
people back home.
He was told that they did.

high moral and spiritual ideals. The
same has been true Of outstanding
leaders In the Army and Navy, and
1t Is reasonable to believe that those
who made the supreme sacrifice and
whom we affectionately remember this

ingly the need of placing q fresh
emphasis upon those moral values
that ultimately determine both our
prosperity and our permanence. Lord
Bryce's observation to q young man

In our soberer and more reflective mo-

The evidences Of Gods favor in our

He made us a nation, we have moved
