versy and delay, Washington is at
last to have a proper airport.
That was promised by Edward
j. Noble, wealthy manufacturer,
who yesterday was sworn into Of
flee as chairman of the new Civil
Aeronautics Authority.
Selection of a site for the Cap

ton of the field was pledged by
Chairman Noble, who is planning
on a survey Of all fields in the
country.
TO BE NATIONS MODEL
This survey will start at once,
and results and recommendations
will be placed in the hands of the
next Congress. Pointing out that
the Washington airport will head
the list, the new chairman said:
Il do not know which site we
will recommend, but We are
going to have a national airport
here that will be model for the
entire nation and we will ask for
funds to start construction as
soon as possible.
THE Government builds roads
and airportS are the crossroads

should build airports with the
emergency funds and we hope to
secure appropriations to carry

she went on, after short silence.
IT thought that what we did in
st. Louis ought to rule the world.
But after a day like today, clothes

"You shouldn't have kept at
your work so long,"
There were things to do. And
it wasn't just the work-this
afternoon one of the little lambs
died."
Her lip uuivered. She could not
talk about it. She was very ten
der-hearted.
At dinner she tried to make
conversation, but found it hard to
keep awake. Dora had set the
table on the hearth, between us.
There were no flowers or fruit for
decoration. Mimi had been too
busy for such details, and 1 had
been too indifferent. AS for Dora,
she had no time for the esthetic.
And she liked to fry our steaks
and chops. I had an invalld's ap-
petite and wished for something
more delicate. But Mimi ate with
the zest of one who labors in the
open air.
After dinner Mimi crumpled up
in her big chair on the hearth and
went to sleep. The kittens were
asleep, too, and the old cat, in
their Indian basket. Only I kept
lonely vigil.
AS I looked at my wife with her
disordered hair, the old silk shirt,
the mud on her corduroys, my
mind went back to her as she had
been that last night in Olga's ball
room-like a rose, perfumed, ex-
quisite. She had belonged to that
life, and not to this.
I wanted to stay up there in the
hills-but it wouldn't be fair to
Mimi. I wanted to live, to feel,
and write out Of the fullness. OF
experience But, in the meantime,
what of Mimi? Would she be
dulled by the difficulties we might
encounter? Lose youth and love-
liness in my struggle to achieve?
The pendulum swung back and
forth; myself Mimi, myself
Mimi, myself Mimi :!
Finally, it seemed to tick to the
tune of the things my father had
said to me. 'The goal is-the
happiness of Others"
A log fell on the hearth, and
Mimi opened her eyes. II am as
bad as the pussy-cats," she said,
"I can't keep awake when it is nice
and warm"
"Go to bed, dearest, and get your
rest"
"But I like it here with you and

united the ribbon that bound her
hair. "The only time I want

she shook out her red-gold name.
"You ought to have a maid.
You ought to have everything to
make life easy"

For spring was upon us. The
air was like wine, warm, sweet
wine that had yet tang to it. The
valley was all silver, emerald and
amethyst, the hills dark green or
pale gold as the light clouds
passed over them.
There was the blood of men who
had titled the soil in my veins, and
for the first time / was aware of it.
Ny forefathers had planted seed
and harvested crops. They had
been English yeomen, loving their
low wide houses, the hospitality of
it all, the freedom.
The four seasons had meanings
for such men that they could not
have for men of the town. What
did the people who lived shut in
by steel skyscrapers know of the
quickened life of the countryside in
the spring, of the abundance of the
harvest in the fall? What did
they know, who spent their nights
in electric-lighted streets, of cres-
cent moons in rose twilights, of
hunters moons above frozen
fields? What did they know of a
robins note at dawn, the boot of
an owl on q thick summer night :?

Trade Gains
Cited by
Roper

(I.N.S.). An upward trend
in business has taken root in
the economic picture, Secre-
tary of Commerce Roper
stated today.
All reports received by the
Department Of Commerce, he
said, point to q gradual Inn
prOvement in business. This
improvement Is expected to
be increased materially by the
fall and winter buying, start
ing off with purchases for the
reOpening Of the schools and
then the Christmas trade.
Roper said the national
income increased for the first
time since August last year.
In July 1t rose to 1911 from
1873 in June, while in June
. year ago it stood at 1876.
Another encouraging fac
tor cited by Roper was the
fact that pay rolls declined
less last month than is sea
SOnal for that month, and
that inventories are low.

OsSSS ~N~k@~S~~~
TNHE same tragedy will be repeated in air
conditioning, unless the engineers prepare
now, while the principle Of airconditioning is
still in its infancy to teach humans who use this
new creation how to use it with the least harm
to the human body An engineer has been able
to produce a machine to cool an interior, but he
has not been able to mitigate the effect of the
broiling midsummer heat of the human system
when one emergeS from that cool interior. Along
with his mechanical creations, how much study
of the effects Of them upon the human body is
he making?
The engineer has forgotten all too often the
human element. He has been so busy creating
things for what he intends to be the Simplifica-
tion Of the lives of his fellow men that he has
never stopped to take time to educate the people
how to use the things he creates.
do not contend that an engineer can control
the human as well as the mechanical. If he
could he would be god. But at least an engineer
can see to 1t that humans are taught how to
use intelligently the creations Of this mechanical
age as far as human intelligence is able to absorb
q lesson
WHAT has become one Of the most dangerous
w practices in American salesmanship and
merchandising is that all these magnificent
creations designed by the engineer are sold to
the public exclusively on their benefits and sell
dom on the havoc they may wreak If they are
nisused or abused.
The fault lies mainly with the engineer. If
he will restrain the genius Of his creative mind
for mechanical things for the moment and turn
that genius to insisting upon a general mechani-
cal appreciation of uses Of things mechanical
among the public he will contribute not only to
a reborn material America, but also a nation
with a spiritual rebrth as well.
