Now take Hawks' demonstration of what can be dome with a high-speed plane. Ten minutes to the airport on this end, sixty-three minutes in the air and fifty minutes to s hotel in New York, » total of two hours and three minutes, as against a train time of four hours and forty minutes. Of course it will be some time before big tramsport pianes can sttain the pace of a tiny racer such as Capt. Hawks has been hurtling over the public for speed and more speed bound to be heard and heeded, it is almost a 2o | foregone conclusion that the air trans- also the local news rein. All richts of publication of tches herein are mlso rererved. The Brazilian Revolution. Brazil has gone the way, in turn, of Boltvia, Peru and Argentina. The revo- lution has succeeded. President Wash- ington Luis has abdicated and Rio de Janeiro is in the hands of a naval and military junta which will make peace with the rebellious forces in the south, north and west. President-elect Prestes, only recently hailed in the United States as the in- coming chief of the republic, is in hid- ing n Sao Paulo. The Liberals, headed by Dr. Getulio Vargas, whom Dr. Prestes defeated in the March presi- denitial election, is en route to the capi- port of the not far distant future will be materially accelerated from present- | day standards. — et “Buy Now!” There is good sense as well as good economics in the “Buy Now!” movement fostered in Washington by the Cham- ber of Commerce. In Philadelphia a similar campaign appears to have been sueeessful. There is every reason why it should be more so here. Washing- ton is less affected by the ups and downs of prosperity than any city in the country. There are no great in- dustries here to feel the pinch of de- creased purchasing power. The biggest industry, the Federal Government, goes along just the same, The normal pay roll tends to increase, rather than decrease. The savings banks are full of momey, A pepulation that emjoys a low peremntage of unemployment and & high percentage of above-the-average salaries remains relatively untouched by shut-downs, lay-offs and curtail- tal, in apparent expectation of inherit- ing executive power. Dr. Vargas, who has been leading rebel forces in the south, states that he will take no part in any government based upon military dictatorship. ‘The swift success of the Brazilian revolution takes official Washington by surprise. Only a few hours age, the State Department imposed & virtual embargo upon shipment of Ameriean arms to the revolutionary forces. Now the red banners of that triumphant host float amid the panoramic beauty of Rio. Before prohibiting export of munitions to the rebels, Washington proclaimed the right of the Brazilian government to purchase the sinews of war unre- strietedly in the United States. Ten ©of our own Navy planes, approaching completion in private factories, were sold to the Rio de Janeiro authoritfes. ‘The action of the State Department in both cases fell unchallengeably within international practice and precedent. It is not a case of Uncle Sam’s backing the,wrong horse. Although only four out of South America’s ten countries have “gone revoluiionary,” Bolivia, Peru, Argentina by militarist politics. The " proved mightier than the ball mocracy among the southernmost icas is, temporarily at least, in visional control at Rio de Janeiro con- sists of “responsible officers of long service, well known to me personally.” ‘There is in our representative’s message & distinct ring of hope that stability will, presently be restored. The estab- lished policy of the United States is to recognize revolutionary governments in South America as soon as they are un~ questionably in control, have agreed to fulfill international obligations and reg- ularized their status by holding orderly elections, This attitude has been lat- terly adhered to in the respective cases ©of Bolivia, Peru and Argentina. Practice is nfaking the State Depart- American diplomacy. —————e——— A very quiet, modest man who did more to win the late war than many a bespangled “hero” has beem awarded the John Fritz gold medal, highest honor of the engineering profession in America, He 18 Rear Admiral David W.

But then, most men are not FPrench marquises. ———— A Speed Comparison. One of the interesting features of Capt. Frank Hawks' recent record- breaking flight from Washington to Newark, which is considered the New York air terminal, was that while he| covered the two hundred and twenty- five miles between hcre and the New Jersey airpoil in sixty-three minutes, mveraging better than twoe hundred and | twelve miles an hour, it took him fifty minutes by automobile to reach his hotel in New York. It was a spectacular | flight from every standpoint, but its| chief value lies in the manner in which | it graphically stresses the need for con- tinued attention to the development of speed in the air and the necessity for | the location of airports as close as pos- sible to a city's limits. The fastest train between here and New York takes four hours and one- half. If a passenger is staying at one of the hotels in New York adjacent to the depot no additional time need be allowed on that end, but ten minutes should be permitted from downtown ‘Washington to the station, thus making ® total of four hours and forty minutes | popularity. ments that elsewhere accompany peri- odic depressions. ington to a certain degree reflect eon- ditions elsewhere. But they are merely reflections, not the original image, But why “Buy Now”? There are sev- eral sound reasons. The purchasing power of the dollar is greater. Your dollar buys more than it did last year. Prices are lower. Nearly every article of clothing, nearly every article that goes into furnishing or equipping the home is cheaper than it was a year ago. Houses, automobiles, toys, rugs— this, in short, is a buyers’ market, with basic conditions relating to purchas- ing power little changed. It everybody began to buy and tol “Buy Now” the depression would cease depressing. But, unfortunately, every- body is not going to buy now simply because the Chamber of Commerce says 80 or because the Bureau of Labor Statistics presents inviting comparisons between the dollar of 1926 and the dollar of today. The man who has seen his savings reach a new high mark, the pessimistic fellow who firmly believes that doom is waiting just arcund the corner, the man who is out of a job, or his neighbor—these are not going to rush out and engage in immediate spemding because they read in the papers that the Cham- ber of Commerce thinks it would help the fown or because they hear some- body make an appeal over the radia Telief, has the right idea. i finding out who is breaking the the world about it. The Chamber of Commeree or appropriate committees of organized Washingto- nians might undertake, on & local scale, what is being attempted on a national scale by Government agencies. Let them set about creating the atmosphere, or psychology, if you will, that makes for substantial and non-artificial buy- ing movements. There might be com- plled & muster roll of reasons why one should “Buy Now.” It should be made up of such announcements as the fact that the A. B. & C. Co. has let a con- tract now, instead of putting it off, as originally intended, until next Spring; that B. C. & D, Inc,, has increased its pay roll and expanded its fleld of ac- tivity now, instead of postponing it until “conditions warrant”; that the X. Y. Z. plant enlgrgement, contem- plated for some years, is to be made im- mediately and that John Doe & Sons is going to retain its full force instead of making the seasonal lay-off that had been pianned. All of these things may be sald, and more, too, if they are true, and they will be true when the city's “Buy Now” advocates go into the high- ways and byways of Washington trade and business, do the necessary mis- slonary work and obtain the proof of the pudding that lies in the eating thereof. Somebody must lead, the public must be informed, and others gathered into the train of those who are ready and willing to “Buy Now!” Then the move- ment will take care of itself. ————r——— According to officials of the Chicago Public Library who keep tab on the kind of volumes habitually taken out by young people, the so-called “success books” are enjoying a wave of renewed It looks as if one of the surest wdys to succced is to turn out one of these books. £ramaisse - TECHIEIERRG Unions of Ministers. Formation of & “union of ministers, h possible affillation with the Ameri- | can Federation of Labor,” is suggested by Prof. Harry P. Ward of the Union Theological Seminary. ‘The source of the suggestion gives it standing, however great may be the practical difficulties in the way of the realization of such a project. It is not Prof. Ward's idea, of course, that such & union be organized in -defense of a standard wage for clergymen, nor is he concerned about shorter working hours, regulations governing oveftime and the other physical benefits sought by or- ganized labor.

Not all the telephone conversations one- hears inadvertently possess humor- ous characteristies. Often one listens-in on tragedy, on sorrow, on jealousy, on plain mean- ness.

In the back of the mind, however, one still has a sneaking wish that the other side of the talk might be known, ‘The other side! Half a loaf 1s better than none, they say; maybe that applies to telephone conversations, 100. The fmagination comes into play, when one forced to construct his own ideas of replies which he cannot hear. This is no dialogue, but mono- logue, in which but one player plays his part. The other is off-stage—may- be as far “off” as San Francisco. And only one can talk at a time. That is why telephone conversation often is an improvement upon specch face-to-face.

Le Soir, Brussels—A Belgian savant, M. Piccard, professor of physics at the University of Brussels, recently had an epochal experience of which he has modestly spoken very little. Like ‘all true heroes, he bas been more com-/ cerned with the results and effects of his discoveries and achievements than with an) rsonal glory attaching to him wfl’ ':ee magnificence of his d‘nds made public. But it has finally leaked out that M. Piccard has attained a helght of 16,000 meters (10 miles) in a ‘balloon. The professor reached this al- titude _after repeated attempts and minutely set down the results of his experiences. The difficulty, as can be imagined, was to keep sensible and consclous at such an altitude, and to secure this ;ordld'lzu:: ':( mind -m} mboelmy L, d ha & Cargo of - S 4 with him, including .

Instead of & reinforcing network of cords, the basket was suspended from the bag by two girdles, to obviate the - sure, which might have caused friction nd perforation of the casing at the points of contact. The bag was made of pure cotton fabric, covered with im- pervious rubber, and finished with a solution of aluminum. Both the bag and the car, the last entirely circular and made of aluminum, had to with- stand a temperature of from 50 to 60 degrees below zero, e (65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit). Notwithstanding these difficulties and mllwpl.rules, M. Piccard made successfully his ascent and descent, setting the controls of the vast re so that they would auto- matically rn its recession when it attained Jz’edefll'ed height of 16,000 congeal perature upon the balloon's fabric, M.

Neues Wiener Tagblatt, Vienna —Re- ports from the United States are to the effect that the compositions of Richard ‘Wagner are being rewritten into a jazz- syncopation for the disciples of Terp- sichore. The beautiful music dramas and lilting melodies of the gifted Ger- man are being revised in tempo, but are still easily recognizable in tune and aria, despite the liberties taken with the rhythm. Germans who have heard some of these modern adaptations of Wagner played upon the saxophone and banjo and the other instruments of the American jazz band pronounce the ignoble result almost a sacrilege. To h‘lnlgu these classic, soothing mens- ures into an irregular melody born of drums, cymbals, bass horns and other deafening musical instruments is, after all, a very unkind proceeding, though it is to the credit of these wmusical plagiarists that they bestow titles upon 13! these reconstructions into fox trots, waltzes and two-steps that inspire no reminiscence of the name of the orig- inal com) And Richard Wag- ner’s works are mot the only ones that are being remodeled in this ruthless fashion.

There is much discussion of Mr. Morrow, how- of a change in the situation, in 1932, ‘His tribute to the administration is high. It will impress the public mind because of the character of the man who has delivered it,” says the Phila- | gelphia lvtnh% Bulletin (independent Republican), while the New York Sun flndefindem) states, “President Hoover may gratified by Mr. Morrow’s dec- laration that he looks forward ‘with pleasure and with confidence’ to the op- portus of voting for him in 1932." The Duluth Herald (independent Re. blican) holds that he “put a definite and complete quietus upon all talk of that nature, desultory and aotherwise.” The San Francisco Chronicle (ind pendent) declares: “Persons aware of Mr. Morrow’s record in finance and in public service do not need his disavowal of um y ves. For o , the declaration of principles ‘The Lexington Leader (independent Republican) lauds “the man of calm forthrightness” with the statement th: “it is characteristic of him that he should meet squarely the reports of his candidacy for the Republican nomina- 1932.” The Rochester Times- wets will have to look elsewhere for standard-bearer in the pre-convention campaign a year and a half hence.” “He is too big & man,” contends the Des Moines Tribune-Capital (independ- ent Republican), “to try to deprive his friend, Herbert Hoover, of a second term in the White House.” That paper adds that “if Morrow makes as good & record in the Senate as he made as Ambassador to Mexico he will be one of the strongest candidates for the nomination in 1936.” Praise for Mr. Morrow's “spirit of sanity and fairness” in g parti- san questions, which “Iis rare among political bigwigs,” is uttered by the Newark Evening News (independent), which says as to the existing situation: “It is worth speculating whether con- ditions in 1932 will be ordinary and whether the y can unitedly follow of the two men. Boyhood friends in the town of Sharon, Malory and Night- ingale, the last of his family, have grown apart in their destinies. Malory is a doctor, Nightingale has become a very rich man, but it is Malory whom Agatha has loved. As in “Cavender's House,” the scene of the poem is by the sea—in Nightingale's house, There the two men come into final-€onflict and, of course, the end is tragedy. * X X X “A History of the Jews,” by Abram Leon Sachar, Ph. D., is a story cover- ing 30 centuries of an unusually gifted Mr. Hoover if he and his platform re- main dry. The great split in Pennsyl- vania will have echoes in 1932, as will the campalign in New York, especially if Tuttle is elected by the Republicans. Mr. Morrow is not a candidate. He has gone further than most men in discour- aging those who persist in_mentioning him for the cy. His Newark speech in which he indorses Mr. Hoo- ver for the second term must be ac- cepted as wholly sincere. But it does not absolutely rule Mr. Morrow out of the 1932 picture. He is bound to be talked about,.try as he may to deflect the conversation. If for one reason or le.
