FIGH GRADE. BUT NOT HIGH PRICED THE EVE Army Flyers Defy Rain and Fog To Carry Sunday Stars to Boosters Taking off under weather condi- tions anything but favorable for flying, three Army airplares yes- terday flew from Bolling to Lang- ley Field, Va., carrying several hundred pounds of Sunday Stars for delivery to Washington's busi- ness men on the annual booster outing. In successfully accomplishing the mission, the aviators, Capt. Ira Eaker, Lieut. LeClair D. Schulze and Lieut. Charles W. Steinmetz, all of the office of chief of Air Service, provided the only method of transportation which could de- liver the newspapers to the boost- ers. Train or automobile service could not have taken the papers to Fortress Monroe, where the South- land made a special stop, because of time element involved. The newspapers were squeezed into every lable square inch of space in’ the three De Havilands at Bolling Field early yesterday morning, and at 655 o'clock the three ships took the air, arriving t Lan; Field at 15 o'clock gave his life to make government the servant of human values in a new and difficult age. “When the day comes, as come it will, when social organization will cen- ter about the values of the higher life, when wealth will mean common weal, when property will be less than hu- manity, then men will remember that Robert La Follette trod that path be. fore them. Trusted the Humble. “We shall remember him as one who, in a cynical age, loved and kept his faith in humble men and women. He was ready always to trust the peo- ple when they were given the facts. It was no accident that he made in- vestigation primary and the discovery of facts fundamental and that on his| lips statistics became eloquence. But it his human heart that kept him close to the life problems of his fel- lows. He knew the bravery of the toil of the nameless ones and his heart vearned to throw open the doors to joyous life for them. Among those who bow in sincerest devotion today are these for whom he fought in other the men, the toilers, men of ds and lined faces, marked by of 0ld wars. Perhaps this is the noblest tribute of all “We shall remember him as a leads of sublime courage. Society has al wavs been cruel to its prophets. The ‘nt enemy of special privilege ever be willf to suffer. \lurn‘ once the iron was driven In!n‘ But when the war madness | hefogged the minds of men and the fires of persecution were lit, then he lived the episode most brilliant of all the epic of his life and took his place among the greatest of Americ sons. Was Vindicated. “Forsaken in the time of trial by even r whom his life spent. al- st ulone, he held true to his vision. ith calm courage, unshaken poise | and resolute will he kept his soul and, best of ail, kept his faith in us. He lived to see the war clouds pass and to receive the vindication he knew must come. He is gone, but the memory of that magnificent courage will live as a challenge to youth through 1 the world. “We shall remember him. He has built himself into the life of America and into the structure of the world. But we must give him also an earthly immortality, in our lives. The futy democracy of which he dreamed is still to win To be true to the vision as he was true, until every individual shall have a full and free opportunity for a satisfying life. this will be to remember him truly. And here, in his presence still, we may dedicate ourselves to that task.” BERNARD A. SPELLBRING OF G. P. 0. SUCCUMBS 25 n s soul. Bookbinder, Who Was for Years in Service, Dies at Home Here.

With the assurance, A. B.

Laying of tracks likely heavy to be permanent” and snows such as last January could block the car line for time. While declaring that the “bus is likely to prove dangerous on ac count of skiddin; he nevertheless said establishment of a bus line would possibly mean an express bus, ex- tension of the service to Capitol View and expansion to the north of Brook ville Pike. Further the bus could be run a block or two to the west of Ninth street and not strike Georgia avenue, before reaching the junction of that avenue with Columbia road, thus avoiding, Mr. Claxton continues, the crowd of short haul passengers which generally pack the Forest Glen cars between Pennsylvania and New York avenues, as well as the crowd at Florida and Georgla avenue: TEACHER FOR 44 YEARS IS VICTIM OF STROKE Miss Lucy Ellen Lanham Dies at Home of Sister in Prince Georges County.

Several Free State ministers and members_of the Dail Eireann were present. Peter Hughes, minister of de- fense, placed a wreath on the grave of Tone, and after a review of the troops delivered an oration on Wolfe Tone's devotion to Ireland.
