None But the Best


vTVHE District Airport Commission, which ex-
i pected to report four five months ago, has not
vet made report on the subject of locating ade-
uuate air terminal for the National Capital.
The delay in the commissions action is deplorable
in itself and is also of dismay among those who
are interested in seeing solution of problem which
has vexed the city for more than decade.
The reason for the dsmay is that are afloat
to the effect that the commission is preparing to sheve
the merits Of the outstanding possible locations Of the
airport and select site sites compromise basis
There is no occasion for compromising upon any site
which is less than the best available and obtainable
Interested real estate with "white elephants
to unload should not be permitted to bring pressure
which would force sacrifice of the decent sites which
can be obtained
It is noticeable that some members of the commits
sion seem willing to disregard the possibilities of the
site at Gravelly Point site already largely under
Government ownership.
This it is reported is due to the fact that there has
for years been controversy between advocates of this
site and advocates of the site of the present Washing
ton-Hoover Airport.
In order not to offend the proponents of either of
these sites 1t Is understood that the commission Is plan
ming to disregard the claims Of both and recommend
sites which are not up to the standard Of either
If the commission follows this weak course it will
have wasted all of the effort which it has exered
the last year, for it will not make any contribution to
the building of decent air facilities for Washington
The location of the projected airport is not matter
to be settled by catering to the wishes of selfishly
actuated persons who want to sell real estate to the
, Government
It will be necessary for the Airport Commission to
prove conclusvey in its report that the site which it
recommends has outstanding advantages Gravelly
Point before its recommendations will be accepted.
The commission cannot hope to do this if it is placed
in the position of yielding to the urgngs Of property
/. sellers
The provisions Of the pending Gibson bill should
offer to the Airport Commission reasonable basis of
procedure
Under that bill the Gravely Point site would be filled
. in and developed model airport.
Pending that development the owners of Washington
Hoover would be given opportunity to improve their
present port by elimination of the bisecting Military
Road.
: That seems to be a sensible program designed to
. accommodate Washington aircraft
Other programs open to the suspicion that their
objective is face-savng, not safe terminal facilities

high as $3.50 pages, to be printed

It is the largest printing office
in the world, with 5,341 employees
who are paid $40, 100000 a year.
It had $50 employees when Presi-
dent Lincoln established it in 1861.
It now fills "a acres Of floor space
and an appropriation has been
voted for a new building which
will add more acres Of floor space.
The constant extension of govern
mental activities in the depression
years finds in Uncle Sans big
print shop the measure and reflex
Of this overwhelming area Of gov.
ernmental concern.
For the year 1885 the output Of
job work alone was 5,013,078, 631
copies, an increase of 1000, 000, 900
over the previous year. The gov
ernmental printing and binding
bill for the last 10 years was
$134, 9o9,0 s2.

Jesus the Good Shepherd, JONI
1O:1-16. for Sunday, Feb. IL:
Jesus in this lesson delivers 4
message to his critics as recorded
in the preceding lesson.
V. [. Verify, verify, | say unto
you. lie that entereth not by the
door into the sheerfold, but climbeth
up some other way, the same is

claim sonsbip, but have ignored the

thieves and robbers because undue
privileges are assumed.
V. 3. But he that entereth in by

himself the shepherd, he allows 9TH

eth; and the sheep hear his voice,
and he calleth his sheep by name
The PEOPLE of Cod have discerning
Judgment and are disposed to hear
only those religious leaders that are
genuinely Christian.
V. A. ''And when he putteth
forth his own sheep, he goeth before
them. and the sheep follow him: for
they know his voice" AS a good
shepherd goes before his sheep to
find green pastures and watering
places and guard them from danger,
so a true religious leader blazes the
way for Christs followers, declaring

unvarnished truth, and as a re-
former points to spiritual dangers.
V. 5. "And stranger will they
not follow, but will flee from him:
for they know not the voice Of a
stranger" The Bell Telephone com
pany advertises, "Your voice is you"
The voice is the language of the
soul; an unredeemed soul has an
unredeemed voice
V. 6. "This parable spake Jesus
unto them; but they understood not
what things they were which he
spake unto them.' Ignoring Christ
ed truth has binding effect, so

V. II. II am the good shepherd
the good shepherd giveth his life

shepherd in the fullest sense, be-
cause he was God whose love is
manifest, redeeming and restoring
mankind into the family of God
V. u. 'But he that is an hire
ling, and not the shepherd, whose
own the sheep are not, seeth the
wolf coming, leaveth the sheep and
aeeth; and the wolf catcheth them
and scattereth the sheep" An hire
ling is controlled by the profit mo-
tive, so that in time of danger he
fails to render the service needed
at the moment. 1t takes conviction
and courage for a man to be a true
Christian in all circumstances; some
times lives count most when perse-
cuted and even slain for righteous
ness sake.
V. IA. II am the good shepherd.

tents Of our hearts are like an open
book before him. He sees our sur
roundings. He knows us altogether
" Is. GAS the Father knoweth
me, even so know / the Father: and

There is a perfect understanding be-
tween God and Christ. He makes
the atoning sacrifice for mans re-
demption.

and one shepherd. Gods family is
not divided, because there is really

Charles Dickens Advice

Just one year before his death,
Charles Dickens in writing to his
son said, "Try to do to others as yon
would have them do to you, and do
not be discouraged If they should
fail sometimes. 1t is much better
for you that they should fail in obey
ing the greatest rule laid down by
the Saviour than that you should.
put a New Testament among your
books because it is the best book
that ever was, or ever will be, known
in the world, and because it teaches
you the best lessons by which any
human creatures who try to be
truthful and faithful to duty can be
guided"
Charles Dickens did not only
teach the value of Christianity by
precept, but in the reading of his
books no one can fail to recognize
his acceptance of the fundamental
teachings of Christianity II know
that, but for the mercy of Cod he
wrote, II might easily have been,
