Winning $25,000 and unlimited fame for himself are but the beginnings of his achievements. He has proved transoceanic commercial flying not far off. | He has inspired prize offers for flights from the | Pacific coast to Honolulu and from Dallas, Tex., to| Hong Kong. | He has inspired a flight from America to Berlin. | He has started talk of a fiftecn-day flight around the-world. j He has given immeasurable impetus to the de- | velopment of commercial flying the whole world; over. | He has, in the words cf no less a person than Ambassador Myron T. Herrick, turned France to-} ward=the United States once more, scattering the| clouds of distrust and hatred. He has paved the way for a hospitable reception fer the American Legion’s tour to France. | It is possible that he has indirectly enabled; France to borrow $100,000,000 from private capital, in the United States. | : The list is perhaps incomplete, but even as it| Stands it is a fairly imposing array of accomplish- ments for a modest young man still in his twen- ties. \ 2 All the things listed above are tangible. They| have a value that can be reckoned intrinsic worth. Over and beyond and above them all, however, ‘tands the one supreme achievement—the intangi- dle fact that he has given the world a new thrill of joy, a new zeal, a new ideal, a new hero. Pan American Business A new era of business is dawning in the western hemisphere which will give to North and South America the industrial, economic and cultural lead- ership of the world, Victor M. Cutter, president of the United Fruit company, recently told a joint Meeting of the United States Chamber of Com- merce and the third Pan-American commercial cor- ference, basing his prediction on the experience ‘of hhis own company, which has contact with every Central and South American country. Mr. Cutter advocates the cooperation of both North and South America in a policy of working hand in hand for the mutual upbuilding of com- merce and goodwill, but especially he urges a shake-up in the United States diplomatic person- nel, declaring that “diplomatic butterflies” repre- senting the United States in Latin-America should be allowed to flit to the social centers of other Jands and in their places should be installed a set ef keen, eager representatives who will understand the cultural and social life and language of Latin America. * There is much justice in Mr. Cutter’s criticism. At the present time a number of consular and diplo- imatic officers appointed between the American re- publics consider their work in North or South ‘America only as a stepping-stone to a bright and gnerry social life in the older capitals of Europe. eir attitude toward their work is one of bore- alom. They give it but slipshod attention in many instances. + This is a grave mistake. The positions of honor ‘and the goal of diplomatic careers for our ablest gen should be appointments to the various Ameri- can republics, where there is need for closer eco- ‘nomic and cultural understanding. & The Federal Reserve in Danger | The so-called Strong bill, which was introduced | Hin the last session of congress and which would’ Sirect the federal reserve board to “stabilize” com- | “modity prices through the mechanism of the fed-; seral reserve system, is the object of a vigorous at- tack by Ogden L. Mills, undersecretary of the {treasury. * The federal reserve system at the moment, de- ‘clares Mr. Mills, is in danger-of grave injury, not Fat ‘tte hands of its avowed enemies, but at the of a group of friendly and well-meaning ists, “who attribute to it powers it does not » and so lay it open to the charge either of them or failing to attain possible results.” here to that school of current eco-| thought which holds that price fluctuations age-old: cycle of prosperity and depression eliminated by the application of certain The sponsors of the proposed legisla- associated with the school and he warns are conducting an active propaganda in the measure during the present congres- i CET re TINS alone as far as the federal reserve is concerned, It is doing a good job and doing it well. It is no | time to experiment with the goose that lays ‘the golden egg. Art in Iudustry The glass skyscraper, the clock tower which | looks like an elongated automobile standing on end, | | the check valve which is a complete artistic com- | | position and the constructivist sculpture which rep-| resents the hyman form in planes and geometric | figures—these were the most striking objects in a! ; machine age exposition which was recently held in | New York and which included many individual ex- | | hibits tending to demonstrate either the trend of | art toward mechanics or the trend of mechanics to- | | ward art. | ] The theory underlying the exposition was thai | man, through cunstant association with machinery, | ; has been so saturated with the ideas of hardness, angularity and ruthless regularity, that even his! | art begins to take on these forms. Just as in the | | rural ages art centered on haystacks and trees, so| | today the painter and the sculptor use geometric | figures to mirror the machine age. | On the other hand, the sponsors of the new art | maintain, it is equally true that the machinist of | tcday has so far conquered crudity that he begins | to make his most commercial appliances conform | to the laws cf art. } The tendency of art to develop along mechanical lines is far from being as desirable as the tendency | of mechanics to develop along artistic lines. Our! personal opinion is that much of modern art has | been so smeared with the mechanical that it has | come uncouth and displeasing. The sponsors of | the newer order will deny that this is sc, but the! results are self-evident. A On the ‘other hand the movement to make ‘our | mechanical appliances conform, ta. artistic compo- | sition is very desirablé-indéeds It should be our | constant effort to make everything more pleasing | to the eye so as to make the world a more pleas- ant place to live in. The elimination of ugliness | is a splendid goal to strive for. Keeping Youth at Home | Machinery has" been set in motion by the New Hampshire State Bureau of Labor to put into ef- fect the plan evolved by the New Hampshire coun- SSRI a A ATONE RS STE 3 SONI THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE cil to keep young men and women of the state at home, that is, within the borders of their home state. The new idea is, as far as possible, to find employment in New Hampshire for those who are being graduated this month from New Hampshire | schools and colleges. * To this end letters have been sent to the head- of education, asking them to state the number oi seniors who will be in need of employment after to college. - Thus is inaugurated a plan that might well be! followed by every state in the union. We find fault with youth because it considers far fields the greener, yet we make little effort to make our own fields attractive to them. We allow industries frem other states to hire them when there are openings in our own state for them. New Hampshire has taken the forward step. will amount to a state employment bureau, of | course, but what matter? States do nearly every- thing these days, and in directions that are not so commendable. But one thing will hinder the perfect consumma-| ing like naughty children caught in} OY! want to marry ‘me’ when I'm tion of this plan and that is the spark of adven-! mischief.

It is not so much that they hope to find fame and How will New Hampshire fight that, we won- der?, For, if that tendency can be combated and jobs within the state can be found, then New Hamp- shire youth will be glad enough to stay at home and progress with their home state. eee New Capitals Postal authorities, planning fpr the future expan- sion of the air mail, say that Laredo or El Paso, Tex., are the logical clearing points for air mail routes to Central and South America. Growth of this air transportation is bound to influence greatly the map of the future. Cities which are prepared to make the most of their air assets are the cities that will be on this map. Air- ports built now may be the pioneer settlements for the air capitals of the next generation. ne ge bos oer ta the Hae house in Myrtle Street, the triumphant notes masters of all schools by the state commissioner | or if played on the piano, which Cherry had bought on the installatent plan, came tumbling out to greet “them. graduation and the number who will probably go| “Here comes the bride—” * moaned, her cold fingers tightening on Bob’s arm. slap you on the back and give us advice—" through with it.

An American Asset In any survey of modern America to determine our greatest assets, no small! itétice should be given to the township high schools. These centralized schools, now so common as to be given scant no- tice in most of the states, are in truth one of the real seven wonder of. America, whatever the other six may be. Bulwark of democracy that “the little red schoolhouse” was, it pales into insignificance | when compared. to its successor. [Editorial Comment | Sweetening Our Sugar Bowl (St. Paul Dispatch) Louisiana’s sugar bowl has been washed out. Its*sugar'cane lands have been swept into the Gulf of Mexico. Last year they produced 47,000 short tons of sugar, the smallest crop since 1873. This year the sugar prcduction of that flood-stricken state will be at low tide. \ It is a misfortune from which adequate relief can come from congress alone. But if the south- ern sugar bowl is washed clean, the northwest has one to which the calamities that have befallen the south’s has added sweetness. This is\not by de- sign, ae by ie Minnesota, North Dakota, Mon- tana, raska and Idaho beet sugar will ae ait The opinion may be general that, should the price of sugar rise following the loss of a large part cf the supply, the refiners will get the profit. ‘OUTOUR WAY _ IN NEW YORK | OO New York, June 11-—Scattered notes from a ramble about Manhat- tan: . . .

CHAPTER LVI When a story, in the making, re- quires eleven long years, it is dif- ficult to bring out all the drama in 300, words. $ ljowever— Robert Dreux, of Chambord,| France, was a. student at the Uni- versity of Vienna when the war broke jout in 1914, He returned to France to take up arms, and Heinrich Spi his closest friend and classmate, was summoned to Germany on a sirfilar mission. ‘ Late in 1915 Mr. and Mrs. George Dreux received the last letter from their son. He wrote that he was in the trenches of Bois le Prete, near Pont-a-Mousson, and that the night before, to his great amazement, he had discovered and talked with Spics, who was fighting for “Deutschland Uber Allies” in an opposing trench, The next information the parents had was that their son had betn Mlled— decapitated by a shell. Shortly afterwards, George Dreux, the father, was summoned to the colors. He served along the Chemin des Dames—a shell burst—two fin- gers of his right hand were severed —and he was sent back. In 1917, Gonzague Dreux, a younger son, was called, He had been schooled in England so, when the United States entered the war, he was used as an interpreter. Found His Grave The war ended.

Pont-a-Mousson again—and the Bois le Prete (the Woods of the Priest). Dreux, the son, stood on the crest of the hill. The sun was shining—for the first time. He clicked his camera twice. His Friend’s Watch He turned to leave just as the guard, Gustave Henry, quit work for the day. Confidences exchanged. The rd had lost his left leg in the Bois le Prete fighting. He did not know Robert Dreux. : But the guard led the way to his little shanty and pointed to cight tiny coffins, of rough wood, piled one on the other, Stooping down he un- tied the knot of a sack and exposed to view a jumble of dry, brown bones. “Allemand,” he explained. The bones had been found by work- men excavating a trench. On a shelf of the shed a mud- encrusted watch. Gustave had pried open the face. The watch had stop- ped 9:15:15.
