from THE OFFICIAL REPORT of the In
terstate Commerce Commission on award
ing temporary freight rate increase of
1919, we quote:
'The law requires us to give due con-
sideratiOn, among other factors, to
the need of revenue sufficient to en-
able the carriers under honest, eco
nomic, and efficient management to
provide adequate and efficient rail-
way transportation service for the
nation. -
A moments thought should convince
any fair-minded person that keeping the
American railroads healthy is to every
body'S advantage
Every family, every businessman, even
the Nation itself is in danger when this
vital artery of American life is weakened.

Families on Increase

The number Of families in the
United States increased by IFS per
cent between 1890 and 1910. while
the population as whole gained
only ITO per cent. Families with not
more than three members increased
from So per cent of the total num-
ber in 1890 to nearly So per cent in
1910. While the proportion of four
person families held steady. fam.
lilies with FIVE or more persons
fell from 81 per cent of the total in
1880 to 25 per cent in 1940

We are asking permanent freight rate
increase of the absolute minimum to meet
our need which is in every sense your
need.
Our request should be granted.

What is IT?

And that threat is real, and it is mow. For
with increases in the cost of railroad op-
Grafton piling up one atop another, how
can the railroads multimillion dollar pro-

the war years of peak traffic, be carried
through?

Professor Zevi qScharfstein, out

World Jewish Congress, it was an
nounced today by DR.. Simon Fed

Professor Scharfstein who leaves
in April will spend four months
surveying the educational and cuI-
tural life of Latin American Jewry,
especially in the larger communi-
ties of Argentina, Brazil and Uru-
quay. He will visit and study
schools and assist in organizing
and establishing new educational
and cultural institutions. He will
lecture on pedagogical subjects
and introduce modern methods and
textbooks into the Jewish life of
the country. He will also survey
and organize youth movements and
study groups.

"Some of these facts are reveal

unsanitary, most forsaken. Tt is

sons and institutions have signed
restrictive covenants: They include
churches, banks, baseball clubs,
UNCONVENTIONAL colleges, renowned
universities, charitable assOcia-

born Americans, Catholics, Pro-

critics in the building of which
most respectable American citizens
and groups take active part that
are responsible for race riots,
breeding of criminals, high NOR
tally rates and other deadly evils.
The patriotism, decency and war
records of those who are pushed
into the ghettOs hardly matter with
the race haters. The very fact
that one belongs to another racial
or religious group is sufficient to
have walls-in some cases, real
walls of mortar and brick-raised
against them.
Another aspect of the same dis
ease is revealed in an investigation
recently made by the Commission
on Law and Social Action of the
American Jewish Congress into the
discriminatory practices of the
American institutions of higher
learning. 1t is we'll established
that there is a numerous cIausus

American colleges. The Al Con-

a few weeks ago a plant official said the
company was losing S. on every vehicle

there is a sharp increase in production
with an accompanying cut in production
costs, the price reduction now announced
inevitably would add materially topthis
loss. With all its resources, the Ford

Veterans Hospital

Establishment Of a Veterans Hospital in
Wilmington is desirable not only from the
community's viewpoint but Of the veterans
who would be served as well.
In this area Of yearround green pas
lures, the equitable winter climate would
prove an outstanding advantage. The
necessary acreage is available within the
rance Of sewer and wafer service.
As a notable change from the wartime
situation, il is reported that fifty physi-
clans and surgeons, eight Of whom are
Negroes, are praciicinq here and here
abouts. The physical and professional con-
ditions are right.
In addition, the people Of Wilmington
would go all out TO cooperate with the

for the purpose of propelling heav-
ier-than-air machines. In 1912
William S.. Henson of England in
vented a flying machine model that
somehow resembled the modern
monoplane. 1t was powered by a
steam engine. This model never got
into the air. Six years later an
other English inventor, John
StringfelloW. assembled a steam
powered airplane model that actu-
ally flew.
Why the First Steam-Powered
Planes Were Not Successful
The efforts of H e n S o II a. d
Stringfellow, however, bore no
serious fruit. For one thing, the
steam engine of their day was too
heavy; besides, too little was
known of the basic principles Of
heavier-than-air flight. Little prog
ress could be made until this
knowledge was acquired. Expert
ments with elders taught a good
deal.

have made the first successful

The first successful heavier-ths

The first successful heavier-than-
air flying machine was the kite,
which was flown in China at a very
early date and which is still flown
by boys and girls the world over.
Kites have served in serious scien-
tific purposes. You have read the
story of how Benjamin Franklin
used one to prove that Tightening
and electricity are identical forces.
Some kites have been employed by
weather bureaus to raise observa-
ton Instruments: others have been
large enough end strong enough to
carry men aloft.
Some men have thought the Sc
cret of flight could be found by i'm
itating the wing-flapping of birds.
The learned monk. Roger Bacon,
who lived in the thirteenth cen
fury, had the idea of a wing-flap-
ping machine Can ornithopser).
The idea was developed in greater
detail by the great Leonardo da
Vinci, who died in 1919. II his or
nithopter the wings were to be
tapped by the legs and arms of the
man flying. This method, however,
was doomed to failure. The mus
cles of human beings are too weak:
weight for weight. birds are more
than ten times as strong as men.
Leonardo also designed a sail-like
glider, and he studied the helicop.
ter principle. The word %helicoptel
comes from two Greek words
meaning spiral wing. In & helicop
ter the plane is lifted by whirling
wings.
The first successful man-carry'
ing flying apparatus was the bal
loon, which was developed in the
second half of the eighteenth cen
tury. The success of the balloon
turned mea's attention away for {
time from the study of heavier
than-air machines.

he instruct an Attorney General to file a

II would appear TO the outlander that

And, in view Of a provision in the new

FLOWERS THAT BLOOM
BY T. ELLIS

In November We had a truly
great flower show in .SWarthmns,
surprising all that I have ever
seen in cities. The huge Field
House OF the College offered ample
room for the thousands Of lovely
blooms, mostly chrysanthemum,
in varied shapes and size and color
and arrangement.
One might call this exhibit ,
bath of beauty for the HI.
man spirit. There is SO much that
is unlovely in the contemporary
scene that an hour with the flowers
is corrective. And what a life IL.
terest it is for the clever
exhibitors!
In the presence of these preten
tious blooms l would not forget
Milady's big bed of chrysanth.'

for many years, to the delight Of

1t gets her close attention all the

an armful of blooms.
