ADMIRAL BYRD-POLAR COMMUTER
Explorer Battles Way Fame Despite Brtet1gS Of Fate

cVAEA Service
XXTASHINGTON, May 4.-Rear
NNAdmiral Richard Evelyn Byrd,
United States Navy, who comes
home to Washington May 10 for
a triumphal reception by the
President, is finishing the crown
ing adventure Of life devoted to
daring exploits.
His 10 months in the Antarctic
are the climax of a 10-year period
which Admiral Byrd announced in
1925 he would devote to eXplora-
ton and adventure.
To the public, which reads only
Of his successes, Admiral Byrd
must seem a child of fortune.
Born of a distinguished family,
wealthy enough. giveA every ad-
vantage of training and upbring-
ing, everything to which Dick"
Byrd turns his hand seems to have
blossomed into automatic success.
But the disappointments are
not so we'll known, and they have
been numerous enough to prove
that there is a hard streak of de-
termination in Admiral Byrd
that well accounts for his achieve
ments.
A little grayer now at At, the
lines etched a little deeper in his
face, he can look back on life
crammed with adventures such as
have come to few men.
IT all began when he was u. A
L friend in Manila invited the
Virginia country boy to visit him,
and he blandly announced to his
mother that he proposed to go
around the world.
She looked down aghast at the
serious, fragile-looking child Of y.
But he won out over all remon-
strances, and made the trip
alone

never left him.
He went through military school
and into Annapolis. There he
played football, and was a star
gymnaSt. In a fall from the fly
ing rings ne injured a foot so
badly as to cut short his football
career.
1t left him with a permanent
slight disability which led to his
being retired from active duty in
the Navy later. 1t was thought
he could not stand watch.
1t must have been a great dis
appointment. But with the World
War he was recalled to active
service, and asked transfer to avn
alton, pointing out that a pilot
sits down most of the time, any
way.
He flew solo after six hours of
training, and was the first Navy
man to fly out of sight of land
But because of his injured foot

tons under his direction not a life
has been lost.
Despite the enthusiastic recep-
tionS planned for the explorer, it
is hard to see how more honorS
can be given him. He has the
congressional medal of honor and
IA military citations, four of them
for personal bravery, two for saw
ing lives at the risk of his own.
He is one Of the youngest rear
admiralS ever created by an APP
plauding Congress. He has won
uncounted further honors from
this and foreign countries.
Admiral Byrd comes home as
Americas No. l adventurer. But,
as the Roosevelt Memorial ASso-
citation said on presenting him
with its medal for distinguished
service, Like the pioneers, he was
inpelled by more than love for

by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN-

TT ie not too soon to begin the campaign against
i loss of life and sight from fireworks. Last Fourth
OF July there were more accidents than there nave
been for some years.
While there are good ordinances against sale OF
fireworks in many of large cities. similar condl-
tions do not obtain in the areas just OUTSIDE lne
cities and use of the motor car makes II possible
for persons to get fireworks and bring them back
into town.
The National Association for the Prevention Of
Blindness has come to the conclusion that 1t is al
most as hopeless to try to control the sale Of IRE
works from these roadside stands as it was during
prohibition to control sale Of liquor under similar
conditions.
IF only those persons who trihe with fireworks
i could see child with one eye closed for life, or
a little girl in a lacy holiday dress caught on fire.
if they could smell the odor Of burning flesh, or II
they could hear the screams Of a child suffering
from fireworks burns, they Would do their part in
stopping this needless tragedy.
Thousands Of persons were injured in fireworks
accidents in 1894. In New York where there IS
law prohibiting sale Of fireworks, the hospitals on
July reported $500 casualties or 1900 more than
in 1888.
Figures for last year snow 161 persons killed by
fireworks 81 of whom were children less than
years old; 81 were burned to death when their
clothing ignited by fireworks bonfres; 20 chill
dren were burned to death by harmless" sparkers:
q children died as result Of eating fireworks; 80
persons lost one or both eyes, and 300 others suf
fered serious eye injuries.
TNHOSE who have been most concerned with such
accidents have become convinced that there IS
only one hope for effective control, and that is -
control the manufacture and sale Of fireworks from
the factory.
Manufacturers Of fireworks are not so short
sighted as TO fail to realize that inability control
this situation will result inevitably in extreme legis-
laton which will destroy their business entirely.

things tat internal taxes could not be laid on the
colonies without their own consent.

most curious thing in connection
with the convention Of the Cham

he had failed TO send any note Of

Fact is, various officers have
been sabotaging their Command
er-in-Chief constantly. During
the World Court fight, in which
the President had taken def
mite stand, several Army officers
buttonholed Senators to vote
against that stand. COMPRESSION
al reaction was that the Com
mander- in-Chief should secure
better discipline from his officers
instead of castigating the Mill

Choice of o. Max Gardner, for
mer Governor of North Carolina,

Telephone and Telegraph Co. in
