It is as enforcible as any | other law was in its early stages—the | law against burglary, against murder, | against embezzlement. I know of no | law that is not violated, and frequently | violated. A law is a failure not when there are frequent violations, but when it fails to protect society ‘as a whole | against destructive forces. | The mere fact that prohibition closed | 178,000 saloons, where liquor might be obtained night or day in almost un-/ limited quantities, is " the outstanding | proof of prohibition worth. Even if | proof could be adduced that for these | saloons were substituted 178,000 boot- leggers, or even 278.000, there would in my estimation still be justification | for prohibition. No one will serjously | contend that the bootleggers, however | numerous they may be, “are selling as | much liquor as the saloons.

BY JOSEPH S. EDGERTON, Aviation Editer of The Star. CLEVELAND, August 24.—With a wholly commendable outpouring of the ta-rah-rah boom-de-ay spirit, Cleve- | land today officially opened the 1929 National air races, America’s annual aviation classic, which is to continue until September 2. The magnificent Cleveland airport, enlarged and greatly improved for the coming 10-day events, was abuzz all day long with the drone of airplanes a riving from all parts of the Nation. Cleveland has declared open season on all airplane pilots and is honoring and | feteing them wherever found. Cleveland is not alone in its am- bition to make the aeronautcal world at home. There are 200,000 visitors— figures supplied by expert estimaters— in’ this bustling city who are prepared on the least provocation or no provo- cation at all, to cheer any one who looks | like a pilot or any crate that can get off the ground. Good Flying Is Assured. By tomorrow afternoon, when the seri- | ous flying of the meet begins, however, it is anticipated the crowd will be more critical mood, as becomes a popu- lace which is up on its airplanes and knows good flying at first sight. That there will be good flying and plenty of it during the coming week is assured by the fact that a majority of the finest pilots in the country, military and ci- vilian, and the best planes procurable, many of them built especially for the races, are here tonight or on the way from virtually every State in the Union. ‘This morning a fleet of 19 com- mercial airplanes, constituting an all-Ohio good-will tour, arrived at the local airport after visiting all the prin- cipal towns 'and cities in the State. At each stop the 54 pilots and pas- sengers spread the word that there would be quite a job of flying done next week up Cleveland way and won't all you pilots come along and bring your funny-looking airplanes so we can show you some real flying and some ; honest-to-golly airplanes? Following their arrival the State air tourists were guests of the local Cham- ber of Commerce at a luncheon and then, all very comfortably fed., were moved over to City Hall, where City Manager W. R. Hopkins opened the races formally by presenting the sym- ! bolic keys of the City Hall and airport to Clifford Henderson, general director of the races. Bombs Signal for Parade. Then while three small dirigibles and | } a number of commercial planes circled | overhead, a whole string of air bombs | were set off as a signal for the begin- ning of an elaborate and gaudy parade arranged as a welcome to the vlsnln‘ fiyers and spectators. ‘This parade, al of 5 miles long, included 21 bands, 90 large floats, 148 small floats and 24 mis- cellaneous floats. ‘There were baby carriages and tract- ors, covered wagons and Pullman sleep- ing hbusses and ox-team and the most glittering new front-wheel drive auto- mobiles. A stalwart and hairy Adam, in a scanty tiger-skin, paced at the head of the transportation division to show man’s earliest mode of locomotion.

The address was broad- cast by station WMAL and the Colum- bia_system. “The lack of community foresight in cities and towns that fail to provide airports today Commodore Jahncke continued, “can only be compared to| the lack of foresight in a community that today would build a road fit for three or four buggies, when from 150 to 500 automobiles a day would use a modern highway were it built.” i Describes 15,000-Mile Tour.

NAVAL FLYER IS KILLED IN 300-FOOT TAIL SPIN Flight Commander Declares Acci- dent Was Caused by Pulling Up Too Sharply. By the Associated Press. EUGENE, Oreg., August 24—J. J. Demoshock, naval chief aviation pilot stationed at .San Diego, Calif., was killed here today when his Boeing plane went into a tail spin at a 300-foot alti- tude and crashed on the Eugene airport. Demoshock, with six other naval fiyers in individual planes, took off for San Diego, making a perfect run down the fleld. His plane gained altitude swiftly, but Lieut. T. G. Richa: com- mander of' the flight, said Demoshock pulled his plane too sharply and a heavy load of gasoline threw it into a tail ‘spin. Richards said Demoshock had been a naval fiyer for many years. He was 32 years old. STIMSON MAY HEAD NAVAL DELEGATION Secretary’s Intimacy With Affairs Favors His Choice for Parley. By the Assor Secretary &timson is expected by well informed circlew here to head the Ameri- can delegation to the naval parley which is being tentatively discussed by Ambas- sador Dawes and Prime Minister Mac- Donald. While there has been no decision on the date or location of a disarmament conference, some consideration has been given by officials in both the State and Navy Departments to the personnel of the American delegation. Reports from | London have stated that the confer- ence will likely be held there, either late this year or early next year. } President Hoover and Secretary Stim- son are well aware that the setting of a definite date for the conference must necessarily depend upon the progress which is made by the British premier and the Ambassador in securing some basis of settlement between Great Brit- ain and the United States and on the basic factors and principles in the prob- lems as they concern these two coun- tries. To Consult Other Powers. After these factors are determined. and hopes are held here that some def- | inite arrangement can be reached in a | matter of weeks, the other powers will be consulted with a view to a general naval conference. Since Prime Minister MacDonald has | been conducting the discussions in Loi don on behalf of the British and is | considered here to be the most likely | one to head the British delegation at such a conference, it is felt in official end diplomatic circles that the United | States should send to a parley a high- | ranking government official, | Secretary Stimson has been dealing | intimately with the situation and has been in constant touch with Mr. Hoover | and American naval experts. Officials here tonight pointed out that Mr. Stim- | son would be prepared to enter a con- | ference thoroughly acquainted with | both the American and British desires | and viewpoints. To assist him there | would be Ambassador Dawes and Hugh | S. Gibson, American Ambassador to | Belgium and head of the American | delegation to the League of Nations | Preparatory Disarmament Commissior, who is particularly well informed on | the viewpoints of other nations. i Rear Admiral Hilary P.

TEN CENTS ELSEWHERE PHYSICIANS STUDY DIAGNOSTIC CLINIC PROJECT FOR D.C. Leading Specialists and Med- ical Society Are Giving Thought to Plan. MAY BE ESTABLISHED IN NEXT FEW MONTHS Would Serve to Simplify the Patient’s Problem of When to Go and Fill a Need Here. BY THOMAS R. HENRY. A diagnostic clinic, comparable to the Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minn., or the Johns Hopkins University Clinic at | Baltimore, may be established in Wash- ington within the next few months through the co-operation of some of the city'’s leading medical specialists and with the support of the Medical Society of the District of Columbia. A group of prominent local physicians have been studying the project for sev- eral months to determine the practic- abllity of such a clinic, the need on the part of the general public and the necessary equipment and financial support. If the clinic is established it will mark in some ways an entirely new de- parture and will be practically a pioneer effort on the part of physicians them- selves to solve problems which have arisen with the remarkable progress of medical science during the past few vears, Methods Changed Today. Twenty years ago medical knowledge was comparatively limited. When a person was sick the family physician was consulted. He made the best | diagnosis possible with the available information, charged a small fee and Ex- cept in cases requiring a surgical opera- tion he attended to everything himself. g‘eh; %‘mem got the best that was to ad. Today all this has changed. Diagnosis has passed largely into the hands of the specialists, for no man living knows ;A)loldthn! is to be known about the human y. The patient first consults the family doctor, as of old. If the case cannot be diagnosed easily he refers the sick person to a specialist. ‘This specialist may or may not get to the roots of the trouble. In any event he charges an appropriate fee—but he may be obliged 10 pass the patient along to another e e It i8 th result is that a dozen specialists may be consulted before the final ml:!_ nosis is made. This is much more ac- curate than was the case in the old days, when both diagnosis and therapy were largely hit-or-miss propositions, except in simple cases. But it also costs a great deal more, It may, as one prominent Washing- ton physician pointed out, cost as much as $150—a month's pay for many Gov- ernment workers with families to sup- port—to locate definitely the cause of recurring headache. The results are lamentable. . Some, fearful of the big bills. give up in despair and either neglect their con- dition until they become incurable or else pass into the hands of unscrupu- lous quacks. Others drift from the office of spec- Imlist after specialist. running up big bills which they never pay and may never intend to pay—with the result that the doctors must collect larger fees from others to make up the deficits in their accounts, Co-operative Organization. The present plan calls for 8 co- operative organization of some of the foremost physicians in Washington, serving the diagnostic clinic for nom- inal stated fees. Washington physi- cians would alternate at the work, the staff being assigned at regular inter vals-by the medical society. The fee for a complete examination, probably would not exceed $25, regardless of the difficulty of the case and the amount of work required. And for this sum the patient would have the serv- ices of some of the foremost special- ists in the country. The proposed clinic would work in close co-operation with the family physicians. A patient would be ex- amined only at the request of his regu- lar doctor. The report would be sent back to the general practitioner, pos- sibly with recommendations for treat- ment, but in no case would the clinic itself undertake therapeutic measures. Its work would end with the diagnos The clinic would be operated en- tirely without profit, but those who have studied the stiuation believe that it could be made self-supporting in a short_time.
