ST. LOUIS. June Removed
from the detecting distances OF
Griffith Stadium's geography. the
Mats tonight embark on tour OF
more friendly fences with an idea
of increasing their home run pro-
duction and. incidentally. winning
games.
In 40 games. the Mats have
hammered 20 home runs. but 1t
has been on the road that they
have thrived in this department.
Only four homers have the Mats
blasted in 20 games at home. but
on foreign fields they have been
more powerful. contributing Is
payof blasts in 20 contest.
On their last sweep through
the West-when they SHARED nine
straight victories and returned to
Washington as bravo boys-the
Mats launched their trip with q
record club outburst Of seven
home runs In one game at Chi
cago, then added three more the
following day.
That furry OF homers was aided
by a short-lived wire fence firing
ing Comiskey Parks outfield. over
which five of the Mats homers
sailed. But the other five were
rammed into the permanent seats,
with Ed Stewart and Eddie Roo-
inton lofting blows into the up
per deck.
Last Trip Brought l6 Homers.
Sixteen homers shot of the
Mats bats during that 10 game
journey. The Mats aren't likely TO
approach that figure on their cur
rent 1l-game trip. but are conf
dent they'll boost their home run
figures perceptibly now that they
have escaped the considerable
acreage Of Griffith Stadium.
Robinson already has belted at
least one drive out Of every park
except Cleveland's Municipal Sta
dunn, smashing two at Detroit.
while Clyde Vollmer has banged
two homers at Washington. two at
Chicago and one each at Boston.
Philadelphia and st. Louis.
At that pace. the Mats will have
little difficulty eclipsing the club
record Of IS homers established in
1888 when Zeke Bonura made y
round trippers and Al Simmons Il.

though, are rare spectacles for the

Meat Shortage Spurs

was IL deaths for every hundred million
miles flown, established first in 1889 and
again in 1916. The rate last year was 1.3.
These figures contrast sharply with the
As rate recorded in 1888, when only $780,
900, 900 passenger miles were flown. Last
year 100000 airline passengers were
carried more than six billion passenger
miles, with only eight fatal accidents and
a total of eighty-three passengers killed.
The overseas transport picture is even
brighter. There has been not single
fatal accident on American transocean
airlines since April Of last year, when a
plane crashed at Shannon Airport Yet
big airliners are crossing the oceans every
day In increasing numbers.
Thus it is apparent that the recent bad
publicity which aviation has been getting
is not a fair index of the actual safety
situation on Americas airlines. When the
number of miles travelled and passengers
carried are considered, the airlines' safety
record looks remarkably good.

Airline Safety Record

Statistics released by the Civil Aero
nautics Board should dispel any doubts in
the minds of prospective airline travellers as
to the safety record Of the regular airlines.
That the recent series of air accidents,
military as well as civilians, has tended
to discourage the faint-hearted from flying
was inevitable. But the headlines raise
fears that are not supported by the CAB
record of airline accidents SO far this year.
According to Ben Ashmead, CAB safety
statistician, the passenger death rate this
wear up to and including the Eastern Air
lines disaster at National Airport is but IL
fatalities for every hundred million pas
seneer miles fown-lowest since travel by
air has been a major industry. The Ma
tional Airport accident was the second
fatal one involving scheduled airliners this
year-and both were caused by collisions
with fighter planes. The total OF passen-
gers killed in these two crashes was sixty
three. with seven crewmen also killed. Yet
the regular domestic airliners have covered
more than five billion passenger miles
since January last.

Something Out Of Nothing

A recent Star story recOrQeQ Clle results
of neighborly cooperation in restoring to
some semblance of decent INABILITY the
old buildings which now house the Indus
trial Home School Annex. One of the
buildings has been condemned, but Is con-
tinued in use as matter of necessity
under sufferance of the fire marshal. The
other building won the opprobrious desig-
"Black Hole of Calcutta" 1t previously
housed the Children's Receiving Home, now
in new quarters.
The notable thing about this story was
its recital of what had been done by the
voluntary efforts of citizens, without de-
pendence on the always uncertain avail
ability of public funds. Paint and soap,
the ingenious use of donated material and
equipment and the kind interest of friends
have made more attractive and bright one
of the most dismal institutions in Wash
ington. Such varied organizations as the
Macarthur Boulevard Citizens Association,
the Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church, the
Civitan Club, the Girl Scouts, All Souls
Unitarian Church, the Franciscan Brothers,
the B'nai B'rith Variety Club and Saint
Vincent de Paul Society, not to mention nu-
merous individuals and the boys from the
Industrial Home School, collaborated in
the work of restoration to decency.
Such things, of course, do not just
happen. They happened in this case be-
cause the superintendent, Miss Winifred
Thompson, had enough determination and
enough faith in people to 60 out and ask
for help-instead of following the usual
procedure of recording the dismal details
of futility in tiresome annual reports that
nobody ever reads.
Eventually there will be new quarters,
in some other location, for the children
helpless wards of society who have done no
wrong themselves but have inherited the
bitterness and sorrow of broken homes.
But Miss Thompson has not waited for
that. With nothing to 60 on, she is build
ing something that is even finer than a
new building.

Holy SepuIchre Church

Associated Press dispatches from Jeru-
salem bring the good news that the
Church of the Holy Sepulchre has been
spared serious damage. The site associ-
ated with the entombment of the
Saviour had been the scene of many dis
asters. It had been violated long before
the time OF the Emperor Constantine who,
about 324 A.D ordered a pagan temple
there replaced by basilica which should
surpass in beauty all others then extant
The resultant structure was dedicated In
1856. It must have been glorious achieve
ment. The walls were made Of accurately
fitted stones, while the roof was covered
with lead as protection against the win
ter rains. Marble slabs Of various colors
covered the floors, and the ceiling was
finished with sculptured panel work over
laid throughout with the purest gold. The
chief feature of the entire design was the
rock tomb. This, according to Eusebius,
was "beautifed with rare columns and
profusely enriched with the most splendid
decorations OF every kind" 5
But perhaps just because 1t was so grand
the Constantinian building did not endure.
The Persians destroyed it In 614. Restored
by the patriarch Modestus on simpler lines,
the church was wrecked successfully by
earthquake, conhagration, pillage and
general neglect. Finally in 935 mosque
was reared on the ruins Of the atrium. The
remnant of the basilica proper was demol-
ished by the Fatinnid Caliph al-Hakim in
1909. Constantine TX Monomachus OF By
zantium sponsored a*reconstruction pro-
gram about half century later. Then
came the Crusaders, who planned and
largely completed program which was
intended to bring the rock of Calvary ans
the tomb of Jesus under the same roof. A
fire in 1908 reduced to ashes most Of the

afterward licensed the Greeks 70 raise q
