his life according to his own
desire. And because of that
dream they had left all the
things they knew-all the things
they loved-and had come to
the loneliness and menace of
a savage. unbroken land. Yet
the dream had persisted, in
spite of everything. In spite
of untold misery and loss, the
dream had persisted-had been
handed on from father to son,
from mother to daughter-the
dream that became America.
IN THE HEART
And now here was Hilda,
bringing her dream across wild
waters to a land she had never
seen. And she, too, kept the
faith"-and was carrying Amer.
ica on!
And watching her shining
eyes, I felt myself grow hot
with Shame-and happiness. I,
an American, had been think
ing of that .."eam as somehow
spoiled, something nearing it's
end. But, thank God, I was
wrong. America wasn't over.
The dream was going on. It
was being reborn every day in
the faith and fire Of these, its
adopted children.

u. S. Air Transport Is
Facing Collapse
Bu James T. Williams, Jr.

have been piled up since all do
meStic air mail contracts were
Summarily Cancelled just year
ago by the Postmaster General.
Following that cancellation
temporary air mail contracts
were negotiated under which the
Federal air mail has been op.
Grated since that time. These
temporary contracts expire
within three months.
Congress must act quickly If
American air transport is to be
saved from destruction.
1t appears that on 29 out of
33 air mail routes the losses
during the last seven and one
half months of 1884 and those
that have been suffered since
then totaled nearly $3,000,000.
So badly has this weakened the
air lines that have suffered
these losses that some of them
will have to be abandoned by
the summer unless aid is forth
coming.
FLOUNDERING
Unless a permanent policy
based upon adequate Federal
aid is soon adopted by Con-
gress, the whole aeronautical
industry will be put in jeopardy.
This industry represents an
investment in the United States
of $26,000,000. Two hundred
and fifty thousand people are
affected directly by this indus
try and a vital arm Of the
national defense is dependent
upon it.
Already the Interstate Com
merce Commission has power
to regulate air mail rates and
air transport rates on a rea-
Sonable basis. The Mead bill
providing new regulations for
carrying the air mail leaves
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission free to revise rates up
or downward as the public in
tereSt requires.
It was just a year ago that
all air mail contracts were can
celed. Ever since then the in
dustry has been floundering for
lack of fair and permanent
legislation of the sort which
Chairman Mead and his COM
mittee will soon recommend to
the House.
Nations, like individuals,
sometimes learn only by ex-
perience. A case in point is
the predicament of American
air transport today.

Greatest Show On Earth
By John SnUre, J.

On a recent Thursday night,
a receptions at the White House
was we'll under way.
The President, in the receiv.

his guests.
A high Government official
and his 1Dife Dere in line and
had almost reached the Chief

agent stepped up to ask tDhat
caused the protuberGnce in the

The official announced it
was a fountain pen.
Not satisfied, the agent
''friSked" him carefully, was
satisfied that it was a pen and
allowed the irate official to

Celestial Wanderers Reach Earth
By Hiram Percy Maxim

boulderS as big as houses and
produced millions of tons of
fine rock flour. An attempt
was made to drill down to the
meteorite itself. At a depth of
1900 feet the drill stuck in
the nickle-iron body, where it
stands today-abandoned.
On the morning of June 30,
1908, another great celestial
wanderer crashed in from the
depths of space. 1t struck in
north-central Siberia in the
wa 5e tundra between the
Yennissei and Lena rivers,
north of the Siberian railroad
line. 1t was observed by many
persons, mostly by inhabitants
living along the railroad. They
described it as a fiery body
Of unusual brightness, roaring
across the sky out of the
northeast, and falling into the
taiga between the rivers"
SHOOTING STARS
A terrific pressure wave Of
air accompanied the noise,
raised the level of lakes and
rivers, and carried along men,
women and animals. This
wave was recorded throughout
Europe. A railroad train 400
miles away swayed so danger
ously, it was stopped. The
crew believed there had been
an earthquake.
A farmer named SemenoW,
living so miles to the south,
said he felt a terrible explosion
which knocked him off his front
porch and completely demol-
ished his house. He said the
air became so hot he feared his
clothing would burn. A herd of
1,500 reindeer was killed, and
every tree for many miles
around was knocked flat upon
the ground.
Fortunately, these great me-
teoriteS are infrequent visitors.
Very small ones, weighing from
25 pounds to few ounces, fall
frequently. During the last 125
years, 47O falls have been OBJ
served. How many falls oc-
Cured in the polar regions, over
the various oceans, and in other
uninhabited areas nobody knows.
During this same period 100000
meteoric stones have been re-
covered.
Millions reach our atmosphere
which never reach earth's sur
face. About the size of a bean,
they burn up completely before
reaching the ground. Their We.
locity is so great that the fric-
ton of passing through the air
melts them. Being small, they
vanish in smoke and dust while
miles above the ground.
We recognize them as "Shoot-
ing stars" Those which reach
our earth before they melt COM
mand our profound interest, for
when we hold them in our
hands we realize they are not Of
this earth, but are visitors from
interstellar space. mayhap frag-
ments of other worlds.

Government Changes
The Federation's Report

The special committee of Federation Of Citizens AS
socaions reorganization of the District Government has
submitted preliminary report and has asked the member
ganaton consider the suggestions which made for
changing the form Of the city administration.
Recommendations of far-reaching changes in the local
government included in the report including national
representation and creation Of elected city council
No organization in city should approve dsapprove
this report without serious discussion and deberation
Many suggestions for change in the local government
have made from many Some OF these sources
have been POORLY INFORMED and the suggestions have
been made, in many instances in sort Of hacocked man
ner.
Washington doesn't want its government reorganized TO
SATISFY PERSONAL. WHIMS Of individuals to give
interested groups opportunity to advance their selfish
interest.
The city does however want reorganized
IN THE INTEREST OF THE ENTIRE CITIZENRY and
would bring about efficient and economical
administration of the community affairs.
We hope that the citizens associations when they consider
this tentative report will approach the problem in that spirit
It is probably asking much to hope for unanimity of
opinion any proposal for change the local government
There be- however, substantial agreement on what
best for the city.
The tentative report of the ederaons committee provides
we think reasonable basis for discussion There pro-
posas the report which will invoke and deserved
criticism There proposals that WILL the other hand
meet with enthusiastic support.
The committee has acted reasonably and has attempted
jam the views of its members down the roas of the fed
erations delegates proposes that time be taken to
slider all of the proposals.
That is the right spirit and out of this report may
. better government and better city.
