32 TALKS and TALES With and About CAPITAL’S GUESTS Granting the truth of the oft-heard claim that “peace would be universal 1£ there were neither thine nor mine,” it is really amazing how the true Christmas spirit, backed by a little give and take on the part of both in a misunderstanding, will bring about perfect tranquillity to those of good will. Never was this demonst ter than by an incldent t hap- pened yesterday, when two young employes at one of the city's lead- ing hotels, who had worked side by side for months without speaking, suddenly buried the hatchet and now are friends again Throughout the morning hours the two “enemles to the death” watched their fellow workers greet each other with smiles, and in many instances exchange gifts. They passed and re- d many time nd on_several asions {n such close proximity that their shoulders rubbed, but neither would give. All around them folks were happy, the laughter of little children rang In their ears, the spirit of the glorious day permeated the very air, when, pur- posely or not, one dropped his pencil and the other stooped and picked it up, ed bet- 's that yours, Joe" “Yes, Jim, thank vou!" el Jim That's all P 1f the democratic party is success- ful at the polls next November, un- doubtedly the first task that will contront Cordeil Hull. chairman of the democra national committee, will be to use his influence with the incoming President to sanction legis- lation prohibiting Santa Claus leav- ing cornets or snaredrums in chil- dren’s stockings at Christmas.

S0 real were the candied roses, hids and vines that sprouted from the basket, many of them offset by small colored lights, that more than one guest at first thought them natu- ral.

Joseph, dolled out in his immaculate white cap, apron and jumper, super- vised the placing of the work. and was the recipient of congratulation from the goodly crowd that congre- gated around him. * 3 % of published ac- counts dealing with President Cool- 1dge’s personality have emanated from those of his own party, it might be of interest to know how the Chief Executive impressed a dyed-in-the- wool democrat, who pafd him a call for the first time—Representative Loring M. Black of the sixth con- gressional district, Brooklyn, N. Y. When seen at the Lee House Mr. Black had no hesitancy in saying at he went to the White House with a chip on my shoulder,” but when he came out the grievance had gone. “To be perfectly frank,” sald the congressman, “T Ias never so sur- sed in my life.

Ainsworth of Mason City, I, when the old rubber went “blobey” in front of the New Willard Hotel that they sat back and laughed and thought it rather amusing. Mr. Aingworth is an ice manufac- turer in the Illinois town, which is about thirty miles from Springfield, and is on his way to Florida to spend a few weeks, He was most enthusiastic over the condition of the roads, especlally along the National highway, and said that since leaving hame hé had en- countered no stretches where incon- venience was suffered. “Really, it's remarkable,” he said. “We. have not been off a paved con- crete road for 1,300 miles. In fact, most of the way has been as smooth and comfortable as driving down Pennsylvania avenue.” When pressed for an opinioA on conditions and the political situation By s pare of the atate, the tourist sald: “Sentiment in Mason City and there. abouts is strong for President Cool- idge. Hiram Johnson is making some stir, but the vast majority of our republicans are in favor of letting well enough alone. The message won instant approval and all feel that the incumbent be given a fair chance 1o carry out his proposals. No, there is not much talk of McAdoo among our democrats.

The Navy's polar exploration flight should be attempted during the com- ing summer with the dirigible Shen- andoah, and Nome, Alaska, should be used as the main operation base, ac- cording to recommendations in the report of the naval Arctic air board, headed by Admiral Willlam A. Mofret, chief of the bureau of aeronautics, to Secretary Denby who has approved it subject to possible later modification. Advance parties will be sent to Seward and other northern Alaska points as soon as possible for pre- liminary aerological work The board emphasized that the mi: sion of the expedition would be ‘e ploration of the north polar region rather than a dash for the pole. The detailed plan of operations wecrked out, therefore, contemplates numer- ous flights by the Shenandoah on mapping and charting crulses to “es- tablish the practicability of a trans- polar alr route” from western I lrope to Japan “over the top of the world."” ‘Tankers Recommended. The board suggested that two vessels, preferably tankers, equipped With moor- ing masts, six planes equipped for land- ing on ice or water, a permanent moor- ing mast at Nome and mooring facili- ties at certain other northern points be employed. The ships with three planes wonld go to Nome and to Spitzbergen, where preliminary flights for aerological observations will be made. ~When all is ready the Shenandoah will fly to Nome by way of mooring masts at Fort Worth, San Diego, Fuget Sound and The ~exploration of the north polar region will include a sys- tematic search of the unknown area north of Alaska. Selection of the Nome base was made because ice conditions make it avafl- able to shipping as _a rule during the first week In June. The distanec to the pole from Nome via Cape Prince of Wales is 0 nautical miles. At a speed of 35 knots, the Shenandoah will have a safe cruising capacity of 4.250 nautical miles with a 15 per cent mar- gin of extra radius. Plans for using the Shenandoah call for helium gas inflation, removal of one motor to proyide living space for the IA"rl’W. use of “water recovery” to com. pensate loss of weight through con: sumption_of fuel and reduction of bal- last by 3,300 pounds. Nome’'s Advantages Cited. I Nomera proximity to the unexplored |area and to American bases was | pointed out, as well as the fact that it is American territory, has some lo- cal facilities and has good communi- cation with the south. The plan to { supplement the base with two vessels equipped with mooring masts, it was added, was due to the fact that such a vessel might select a place more sheltered than Nome, where the Shen- andoah could le in bad weather, and because a floating base could be push- ed forward to the edge of the pack ice, reduging the distance to the ground to he explored, The. second tanker equipped with a mooring mast will be sent to Spitz- bergen on the opposite side of the pole for use In the event that the | Shenandoah, after reaching the pole, should face strong winds from the zouth on a return trip to Nome, in i which eyent she could go to Spitz- bergen, traveling with the wind. An additional ‘“stand-by" three- | point mooring at Point Barrow, clos- est to the Pole, also is recommended, to be used in case of emergceny. Recommendation is made that the [ coast guard cutter Bear be stationed at Point Barrow during the flight, “with as many men from the Nome bLase &8 can be berthed in her for the purpose of hauling the Shenan- doah down for refueling” should the need for this base arise. Reserve Zeppelin Suggested. The board also recommends that the ZR-3, the Zeppelin now bullding for the Navy in Germany, “stand- { ! by at Lakehurst, N. J., in reserve” Among necessary hew equipment to e installed In the Shenandoah the |board found that radlo communica- tion instruments of maximum range Would be necessary as well as mag- natic, radio and “gyro” compasses, the Tadlo compass being Intended to ‘per- it the ship to take compass bear- ings from transmitting stations in America and Eurcpe for the purpose of ocating herself accurately while in the polar regions. o A mouthern route across the United States on the way to Nome was se- lected for the Shemandoah because a direct flight from Lakehurst to Seat- tle“Would require the mhip to cross the Rocky mountains at an eleva- tion of more than 8,000 feet. At that elovation, data attached to the re- port shows, hellum-gas expands 23 er cent, which would compel the Pvalving” or Telease of enough gas t0 protect the ship against the burst- {ng of her gas chambers. The south- orn Youte, via Fort Worth and San Diego, presents no serious difficulties as to altitudes. Lomg Flights Comaidered. The board took into consideration that on long flights over the artic regions, consumption of fuel would greatly lighten the ship and force her to unsatisfactory altitudes un- Jess valuable helium gns was released | to reduce her buoyapcy. The report shows that the “water recovery” system of meeting this difficulty has already been evolved. It consists of Tecovering water from the waste gases of the motors of greater welght it needed than the welght of the fuel consumed. | “"Data_aftached to the report shows i that while over a period of years the |averake wind force in July and ‘August at Nome is 7 miles per hour, there is always the possibility of oc- caslonal sixty-mile gales. The Shen- andoah could safely ride out such a gale while “free in the air” and with Sufficient gasoline but would need to come down afterwards for refueling and the stand-by base at Point Bar- row as well as the floating base on a tanker were projected by the board to meet such conditions. —_———— Builds Strength teo Fight Colds.

It is a drab and grim retreat to which the hopheads stray; and Evelyn, orce fair and sweet, went there the other day; once, like a queen upon a throne, she ruled the giddy gang; and now, a drug besotted crone, she goes to this shebang. Once, where the bright lights used to glow she fooled with gilded vice, and all she knew or cared to know was joy at any price. And foolish damsels envied her as on her way she sped, and longed to flaunt their silk and fur and paint the landscape red. And where roof gardens were alight, I rose, rebuking sin, and rooting strongly for the right, and roasting Evelyn. For no rebuke of mine she cared, though couched in words sub- lime, and all the decalogue she dared to have a red-hot time. She had her red-hot time for years, she said to care, “Aroint!” and now in 'misery and tears, she seeks the hop- head joint. Once she was beauti- ful and fair, and had a_wondrous charm, and for her smile benign and rare a man would trade a farm. But pleasure was the only thing for which by day she schemed, and pleasure ‘was the sceptred king of whom by night she dreamed. And pleasure brought her to the door of yonder drab retreat, where hop- heads sit upon the floor and breathe the name of Pete. (Copyright.) WALT MASON.

He was given surgical aid at Emergency Hospital. 3. J. Gatley, 354 1 street southwest, last night received a cut lip as a re- sult of being attacked by a colored mun at 4% and 1 streets southwest. He refused hospital treatment. RIDE ON REAL HORSE TREAT TO ORPHANS Additional Christmas joy was brought to the forty-two little giris of the Washington City Orphan Asy lum, 14th and R streets northwest, today when six gentle horses walked | into the playground of the institution | and invited the small guests to hop aboard for rides. Timidity overcame many of children, who had never fidden or! even been asked to ride on a live! horse, but after a few who remem- bered the visit of the horses last year had brokan the ice by jumping at the cpportunity, more than an hour epent in riding around the large en- closure. | In a number of cases. the horses were turned loose from their grooris and realizing the preclous burdens on their backs, carried the little girls with much care. Several giris b came extraordinarily enthusiastic | over the fact they were on a walk- ing horse and loudly expressed wishes that_they would run. One little girl the, didn’t relish the idea of being perch- | ed way up on the horse’s back and screamed disapproval when she was lifted to this position. She was soon shown that joy rather than fear would be the only result and by the time she hade made the round, was converted to horseback riding along with the rest. ‘The horses ere sent to the or phanage by the Potomae Riding Acad- emy for the purpose of entertaining the children and instilling love the fast diminishing animal.
