Journeys
DUBLIN

If you want to see a microcosm
Of Irish life in all it's manifold and
charming aspects, then try to be
in Dublin during the first week of
August.
That is the great week of the
horse show and such a horse show
as it is! Why, the figures of at
tendance on its four days run to
over 100000! Nearly 1000 Irish
hunters are on exhibition every
year and the jumping competi-
tionS, especially the international
military events, are the last word
in picturesque display. The prize
is the ornate cup donated every
year by the Aga Kahn.
These events, of course, draw
the fashionable and international
crowd, but for typical Irish charm
give me the "SaleS" where the
yearlingS, for which the Emerald
Isle is so famous, are shown.
Yes, once you've taken in Dub
Inns horse show, no other similar
exhibition will ever quite seem so
attractive and exciting. And after
this sample of Irish life, you will
want to explore everything. And
right by Dublin in South county,
Dublin, and County Wicklow are
some fine places with which to
begin.
Bray is an especially charming
resort, a smart SeaShore town that
yet manages to maintain its essen
tial Irish simplicity. The Wick
low hills are charming, especially
Great and Little Sugar Loaf
mountains. There is the lovely
old village Of Enniskerry and then
the famous Waterfall. Then there
is Greystones, a very fashionable
seaShore resort, set in magnificent
scenery. Not far from GreyStoneS
is quaint old wicklow with its
three-mile long promenade, the
Murrough. Glendalough comes
next with its seven churches and
round tower, among the most i'm
portant archaeological remains In
Ireland.

the Texan claimed was erroneous.
In view of the fact that Mr..

strange that the latter should
make an issue q the subject.

Whatever else may be said
about Senator Harrison, his
friends and enemies as well agree
on one thing.
He has been one Of the most
harraSSed men in Congress this

Bonus bills, taxes, and various

Another Regulation

during the night. "' i
Now, no one is more in favor of peace and quiet
than we.
We'd like to see all unnecessary noise eliminated
and that uUOuEd include number of other things
besides useless sounding of automobile horns.
BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT
THERE IS ALREADY ON THE LAW BOOKS OF
THE DISTRICT MORE THAN PLENTY OF REGU-
LATIoN TO GOVERN UNNECESSARY NoIsE-1N-

Moreover the existing regulations have been drawn
with some regard to and not arbitrary
Is tSe regulation which is now being discussed and
which would not recognize any reason for anyone's
sounding automobile horn between il p M and a. m
There are many conceivable occasions when it would
be necessary prudent and wise to sound horn between
those hours ..- .-r

HAS this country learned anything from the
IL war in Ethiopia, just finishedG
Under old conditions such war would have
lasted for years. 1t took this country fifty years,
with brave soldiers, rifles, cannon, horses and
mules to overcome few thousand red Indians
of Western warlike tribes
Italy, in seven months, has conquered seven or
eight million fighting men, hidden in the noun
tains, valleys, swamps and jungles of Ethiopia,
thanks to modern equipment.
= Mussolini sent his airplanes roaring over the
mountains and valleys, to Ethiopian towns and
villages; jungles and swamps, through which white
men could not find their way, did not stop the
planes. And fear of the planes dropping bombs
cowed the population, causing them to raise the
white flag.
That Ethiopian War and Italy's swift victory
should make Americans thoughtful, and espe-
cially thoughtful those responsible for the pro-
lection Of this country.
What Mussolini did in Ethiopia, conquering
with greatest ease, nation that considered itself
unconquerable, others from Europe or Asia might
do in this country.
1t is not probable that any nation or combina-
ton of NATIONS would be able to conquer the
United States permanently, or ever make it admit
that it had been conquered. In the long run,

This nation invented the flying machine, thanks

But while America invented the flying machine,
she allows each one of half dozen nations in
Europe and Asia to build up great air fleets that
might overwhelm our cities while we simply talk
and plan to build fleet gradually. War would
not come gradually.
The United States, because of it's size and long
coast lines should have the worlds greatest fight

TWICE AS BIG.
1t should have the greatest fleet of submarines,
able to destroy the floating commerce and battle
