The Word "Starboard'

The word "starboard' appears to
have come down from the earliest
Anglo-Saxons, who called that side
of their Viking ships from which
the steering oar protruded the
"steorboard," which became cor
rupted to "starboard" or even the
"sta'b'd" of the tar. Naturally
enough, according to writer in the
Chicago Tribune, the opposite of
the ship, which was brought in
contact with the jetty or wharf when
loading for fear of breaking the
steer or rudder, became the lading
board, laddebord, or larboard, later
changed to port because of the dam
ger of confusing larboard and STAR
board when hearing was difficult
during a storm. The full rugged ship
is seemingly a tangle of ropes, ev-
cry one of which is called mar
tingale, stay, sheet, line, painter
anything but rope.

Visible Stars

There are not many more than
5000 stars that are visible to ordi-
nary eyes under the best of visible
ity conditions. Half of these stars
are always below the horizon. That
would leave about 5000 visible at
one time were it not for the fact
that the fainter stars disappear
when close to the horizon, because
their light cannot penetrate the
thick layers of mist-laden atmos-
phere there. The number of stars
visible to the naked eye in the clear
est and darkest skies is between
1000 and $500. Haze, moonlight or
the glare of the street lamps may
reduce this number by half or more.
A field glass brings out more than
$4,000, while telescope of two
inches aperture raises the number
to hundreds of thousands. AS the
power of the telescope increases
the star count leaps forward.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
Mr.. LANDoN AND THE YARDsTIcK


The LOVELY and useful yardstick was played upon
as the guage of battle for the storming of the new
deal citadel by Alfred NJ Landon, who in his an
nouncCd act of calling together his II, 900 900 sup
porcrs i'm the last presidential campaign essays the
role of leading the minority. Whatever may have
been the Weaknesses of the last Republican stand
ard-bearcr'S case against the national adminstra-
ton OF his filling in with public program Of his
own, the country will be quick to recognize his
keen insight into the essentials which now sepa-
rate Mr. Roosevelt and his political opponents and
which must necessarily divide the country at the
approaching elections Indeed one has to 90 no
farther than Mr.. Landon's own address to see that
in the humble measuring stick, as we'll as in any
Other token, can be translated the issues of 1887,
maybe l94O and the speaker was indeed happy to
fix upon it.
In the Landon speech one had to wade through
great deal of objective criticism of national poll
cics to reach the meat Of the oppositon's program
for tn" country. And what was it? If one did not
know he was reading the speech of 4 Republican
he might gather from the listed detectives, liberty
and freedom which will enable all who want to
work to get good jobs at good wages, decent hours
of work under satisfactory working conditions, old
age provided for in peace and comfort enjoyed as
a matter of right and not because some employer
is willing to allow it, fair distribution of the re-
wards of production, economic freedom for the
farmer, prevention of the unhealthy concentration
of wealth in individual OF Cover lmcnt, that an
ardent new dealer was speaking. The language
may be a trifle different but it is the same refrain
we've been listening to from Washington since
1888 1t seems that the day of the old individual
rights-oving Republican party has passed out and
that NEW social concept has been assumed by
A.. 90
lege. Liberalism has come amongst both from
the left and now from the right. How then, you
ask. does Mr.. LandOn draw the issue for the mi
nority? Method is the answer. Not the ends but
the means by which they are attained the yard
stick again if you please.
Mr. Landon and Mr. Roosevelt seem to be head
ed in the same general direction. The Republican
makes the extraordinary concession to his Oppon-
ent of saying that an old age security act in some
form is necessary and that the Wagner labor act
is "a step in the right direction. But he tops this
agreement off with the prosaic accusation that Mr.
Roosevelt is not constitutional, that he hasn't been
travelling in the accepted American way.
1t too much to expect Mr.. Landon in his
limited time and space to give bill of particulars
to what chariot-horSe and buggy or something
, else-he and the minority would ride in. That
revelation will doubtless follow as the lines become
more closely drawn. But he has spotted the vul-
nerable point in the enemy's advance. Time will
tell how effective an assault there will be.-Ihe

SOUTH CAROLINA LEADER IS DEAD

Many friends in this section of North
Carolina are grieved to learn of the death
of Capt. William f. Gonzales, editor and
publisher of The Columbia State The
number of his friends included newspaper
men and many other citizens. Capt Con
Zales died at his home in Columbia We'd
neSday. as related in the news dispatches
yesterday. Mrs. Gonzales, who before
her marriage to Capt Gonzales, was Miss
Sarah SILVER of Columbia, died in Flat
Rock. near Hendcrsonville, in the summer
of 1882.
Capt. Gonzales WAS probably best known
because of his connection with The Co
lumbia State. He was one of the three
Gonzales brothers who founded The State
and conducted it to the present day, max
ing it one of the leading and outstanding
newspapers of the South. He served as
soldier in the SpaniSh-American war and
was in the diplomatic service of his cOun-
try for q number Of years, as minister to
Cuba and ambassador to Peru. He had
been honored in many ways by his fellow
citizens of South Carolina and was one of
the most distinguished citizens of that
State.
Capt. Gonzales was son of a Cuban
patriot, exled from his country because
of engaging in rebellion against Spain.
This was prior to the War Between the
States. The elder Gonzales came to South
Carolina. married daughter Of the Elliott
family. one Of the leading families of the
State, and served with great distinction in
the Confederate army.
The three Gonzales brothers were dis
tnguiShed for their devotion to the wei
fare of their State and country; for their
never-flagging and strenuous efforts to
build up the State and its capital city in
every way calculated to promote the bet
torment and progress of all the people
They were men of strong convictions and
courage and always ready and willing to
wage a fight in support of their principles
and views.
William +. Gonzales was gentleman
of the old southern school; man Of
charming manners, distinguished for his
courtesy and conSiderate and generous at
titude in all the relations of life.
The last OF the Gonzales brothers will
be greatly missed throughout the borders
of South Carolina; but he and they leave
in The Columbia State monument which,
it is to be devoutIy hoped, will continue to
be one of the South's great newspapers,
conducted according to the principles
which thew so firmly established in its

ing serniamphibian bombing
plane of radical type for opera
tons in the shakespeare, it was
learned yesterday.
The strange ship will be a
monoplane with three air-sealed
tuselageS. Five chemically. cooled
cylinderin-line engines will pro-
vide the power.
Experts said the plane would
combine the most advanced tea-
lures of the new four-engined Boo
ing bomber, of which the Air
Corps has 10 ordered, and the
Lockheed Electra experimental
ship, soon to undergo stratoSphere
tests in California.
Reduced wind resistance at 20
900 to $4,000 feet altitude will
give the plans substantially
greater cruising range than the
5000 miles of the Boeing Ely
ing FortresSes."
While designed primarily for
ground take-offs and. landings,
the plane will be afforded suf-
ficient buoyancy by the metal
skinned fuselage to land and
float on quiet seas.
