For a time following the successful flight of the Vickers-Vimy airplane from Newfoundland to Ireland, it was anticipated that it would be supple- mented by a trial of the Handley- Page biplane which had been prepar- inz in Newfoundland for some time for a similar flight. Confidence was expressed that it would be as success- fully navigated across the Atlantic as was the other English machine but in view of the fact that nothing new was to be gained by another attempt, inas- much as the honors had already been taken by Alcock and Brown, it was decided not to take the chance, but to try out the machine in a flight to Long Island. In view of the result that hes at- tended this trial it must be regarded as most fortunate that the oversea flight was abandoned, for engine trou- ble developed and in landing the ma- chine was wrecked. but fortunately the lives of the crew were saved, which might not have been possible had they been forced down on the open ocean. . Thus out of three long flights by machines _destined for ocean crossing only one Bas succeeded. On the other two engine trouble put a quick end to them with Hawker and Grieve being fortunate enough to encounter a tramp in midocean while the Handley-Page was able to alight on land. This latest demonstration bears out the statement of Alecock and Brown that, even though they succeeded in getting across, the machine for use in cross- ing the ocean is bound to be of the tvpe similar to if not like the ones used by the Amerieans which can with some degree of safety alight if necessary. RECKLESS DRIVING. The only thing to do, says the chief of police of Agawam, Mass., is “to ar- rest speeders and soak them the limit.” This remark was made following the death of five people as the result of a collision of an auto with a trolley car, wh the former was trying to pass two jitneys traveling abr t, but it appears to be a characteristic per- formance on that particular road for the violation of the speed law to take place, the jitney drivers of an even- ing in seeking passengers between the city and the park furnishing more thrills by their fast and reckless driv- ing than a three ring circus. Certainly it cannot be expected that accidents, éven though deaths ‘result will bring about any such voluntary reforms are needed on the part. of the auto drivers who make the high- way dangerous to all users. It is plain- Iy evident that the authorities must recognize their duty and see that the provisions of the law are respected. Not many years ago it was occasion- ally found necessary to arrest the drivers of horses because of the speed they were making and the danger they were eausing in the highway, but today auto drivers think nothing of going several times as fast as those reckless horse drivers and no attention is paid to it except by those who wit- ness it and wonder why it is tolerated. There is hardly a community but what has had just the same experi- ence as Agawam, even if the number of deaths in one collision has not been as large, and it is plainly evident that the deplorable situation will con- tinue until just such steps as are rec- ommended are taken. ToleratiorF of recklessness simply invites its con- tinuance and tempts others to follow the leader. What certain ones are al- lowed to do others wiil imitate and the longer it is permitted to go on the harder it is to stop it. Let it be under- stood that the law must be obeyed at all times and reckless driving will ma- terially decrease. BLOCKING DOPE PEDDLERS. In every possible way since restric- tions were placed upon the sale of narcotics for the purpose of ridding the country of the curse of dope, ef- forts have been made to get around the provisions of the law. Smuggling has of course been engaged in, opium peddlers have been busy and an ex- tensive illegal traffic has been devel- oped. But in addition thereto there have been plenty of cases where resort has been made to physicians te get the necessary amount of narcotics to satisfy the craving. There have been found not a few of those who have the necessary title and authority to write ‘prescriptions for various forms of dope, who have been only too glad to lend their assist- ance to give the addicts the stuff that they seek for the handsome financial benefit that can be gained therefrom. Big profits have been made through such business to such an extent that it has been realized that more strin- gent measures have been found neces- sary in regulating such cases. The revenue bureau had declared thatonly the quantity necessary in the treat- ment of a patient with the purpose of effecting a cure might be prescribed, and if an unusual quantity was pre- scribed the reason for it must be stated. The result of this was that users were getting their drugs under the claim that they were taking the “cure” without such in fact being the case. & Henceforth prescriptions that are used to provide habitual users with drugs that they may continue their customary uses of them will be held to be a violation of the law. in which the writer, the druggist and the per- son obtaining the drugs will all be re- garded as guilty of violating the law. It is action that has been forced by conditions and there can be no ques- tion but what it is needed. AN UNJUSTIFIED APPEAL. An appeal which can hardly be ex- pected to get far is that which is be- ing made to the director general of the railroads for the reduction of the rates on railroads to one cent a mile for the help that the farmers of Kansas must seek in order to get their millions of bushels of wheat harvested. It is maintained that most of the ten to twenty-five thousand men who are go- ing to be required can be secured in St. Louis but it will cost about $20 a man to transport this help at the present rate where it could be landed on the farms for about $8 a man under reduced rates. This is certainly a great idea. The people of the cowniry are now being taxed to maintain the railroads under government operation, and the ra road administration is steadily report- ing that it is doing business at a loss, and yet the girector. of the roads i3 asked to have certain of the systems take a loss in order that the farmers may not be forced to pay so much to secure the help that they are going to require. If the neonle were getfing the bene- fit of low rates themselves for thc transportation of goous and them- selves, it might be different. Cr if they were not providing for a billion or so to furnish a guarantee to the farmers that their wheat will be taken off of their hands at the unheard of price of $2.26 a bushel it might be another story but with the wheat growers ex- I periencing an unprecedented period of i prosperity which will continue through the harvesting of existing crops they certainly should not be asking for any reduced rates for transporting harvest hands. And even though they have asked for such rates there is no good reason under existing conditions why they should get them. It is a prepos- terous appeal. ELIMINATING CORN BORERS, In drder to get rid of the corn borer pest up in Massachusetts the practice of destroying such crops as-are be- ing found to be infested is being fol- lowed. The result is that acre after acre is being burned or otherwise de- stroyed and in some cases it is esti- mated that farmers will ‘suffer losses ranging up to as much as $4000 to $5000 apiece. 5 That is by no means a mere telle to the small farmer. He cannot afford to have that taken out of his annual income and have ne means of replacing it, and it is quite proper that there should be a determination on the part of those who are obliged to experience such losses to look to the state for reimbursement. The existence of the corn berer of course threatens the whole corn crop unless checked. If it can be stopped by destroying those flelds of corn where it is found it will be a cheap means of guarding the rest of the crops in the state, in New England and the country. It is thus a matter which reaches beyond the = state of Massachusetts and _ that state has good reason to expect that the gov- ernment will respond to the situation and see that the sacrifices that are being made in order to protect the {rest of the country are met out of government funds. | " The pest has not as vet reached out lover the country. It is to be hoped {that it will not, but surely it will go like wildfire unless there are applied the very stringent measures that are | being taken in the Bay state. The smaller the section towhich the bor- Jers can be restricted the better it will be for the remainder of the country and it is far preferable that the ex- pense of destroying the pest in Mass- achusetts should be met than to dodge it and allow the menace to threaten the much greater crops of tme corn belt. Such an expense will be cheap eradication and prevention. EDITORIAL NOTES. The dirigible made a good record hut everybedy knows that time flies faster. Interest for the next day or two will be centered about the new steamship arrivals, > A new bill may not buy any more goods but it is certainly more eagerly sought and far more sanitary. It is pretty tough for some people to think that they must turn to_the| Old Oaken Bucket for a modern drinking song. The public has gotten the impres- sion that the weatherman has been handling it about as ruthlessly as Jack Dempsey did Jess Willard. These hot spells are bad enough but it is something frightful to be told in the midst of one of them that there is likely to be a coal famine next win- ter. ~— On the other side the president told the French that he regretted leaving that country, but he will probably tell us on his arrival that he, is glad to get home. The annual oiling of the streets is referred to but the biennial, 'and in some cases the triennial visitation of the oil wagon would come nearer to it. —e If it is so easy to go through the bottom of the sleeping quarters in a dirigible, it might be a good' idea to provide hammocks. like canoes, that cannot be overturned. The man on the corner says: Watch the crowd and it can easily be deter- mined that most of them are wise to the fact that it takes all kinds of people to make a world. Why shouldn’t there be a grand rush back to the farm when such in- formation is received as Hogs reach highest price; Corn prices up, Wheat soars and Waol tends upward! According to the Marquis of Queensbury rules Willard suffered a knockout in the third round. Had it been accord to the rules of war it would have n termed an armistice. . ‘Washington, D, C:, July 7.—Congress is now a week of recess after one of the most strenuous six weeks' it ever a plish Since_the of the extra ession, May 19h, until the remg{waa “taken - at midnight, July 1st, thére has not been an idle minute. Long, daily sessions, important and heated hearings before the committees, frequent night ses- sions, followed close on the heels of the day’s recess for dinner, and to- wards the last conferences that last- ed far into the night over the great supply bills which had been changed by senate or house and must be agreed to before final passage. Agreement to some of the mcasures was reached only after hot discussion and per- sonal bitterness. But in the end and approximately two billion dollars was saved by republican retrenchment over the bills as recommended and urzed by the democrats last March in their forecast of the national financial needs for the year beginning July 1ist, 1919. As it _is billions of dollars have been provided for by legislation; many of the war emergency bureaus and ad- ditional working forces have been lopped off; and muech has been ac- complished in the way of reducing government expenses. The supply bills are all pasted and are now waiting the signature of the president. That will not be until eight days aft- er the previous appropriations lapsed, unless a ship bearing the bills is sent out to meet the president, as was done in the case of the railroad bill which he signed in mildocean. And it is said here that a most conservative estimate of the cost of so signing by sending a special shin overseas was not less than $40,000 to the tax pay- ers. The war created a new Washington, and one that not in tne least re- sembles the beautiful leasurely capi- tal of a few years ago. That splendid and rare type of a big city seems lost in the hustle and bustle of today, and in its place has sprung up the con- fusion and neise of a great metropolis. The old Washington was residential, official and departmental. There were no factories, no rush and rumble of commerce, and although it was even then a city of three hundred people it possessed the attractions of sub- urban life coupled with the attractions of a well regulated residential city. Its parks were the pride of the coun- try, and its broad avenues—some of them 150 feet~—were safe and sane places where one rode or motored under the great trees which double line them, undisturbed by the clan and dim of the average city. But ‘the war brought not less than one hundred thousand war workers to Washinzton. Theres was no place to house them, the street railroads were entirely in- adequate to provide transportation. Buildings were erected on the most impossible spots. Fine parks were transformed into stucco villages, trees of a century’s growth were sacrificed,” unsightly wooden platforms for load- ing and unloading passengers , from street cars sprung up to mar the beauty of the broad avenues. Prices at hotel and restaurants soared sky- high, street traffic bas assumed enor- mous proportions and the sidewalks which are twice as wide as is usual in cities are thronged with residents and sightseers in a _never ceasing crowd. The man who gets a foot- hold on a car step or a grip on a car or a car step is counted lucky in the rush hours of the dav. Oldtimers sigh for the city of before-the-war. The “Ole swimming hole” is one of the summer fads this vear. Every morning before seven a goodly num- ber of members of congress g0 to the Potomac tidal basin for a plunge be- fore breakfast. And not only the M C.'s but it is quite the fashion for the younger set to take a befare breakfast swim. TIts no uncommon sight to see a big car speeding down Pennsylvania avenue at an early hour driven by a pretty girl in a hathing suit and cap and the car filled with other girls and young men in the same sort of togs. And those hath- ing suits by the way are built on lines warranted not to hamper the swim- mer. No skirts hother the girls. The bath ended they dry off on the sandy beach then speed back home to dr Its quite the fashion for the same ath- letic type of girl to ride at evening along the equestrien paths of the speedway hordering the Potomac, She dons her riding suit at home, then goes to the speedway a couple of miles or more distant, by anto or street car, where the horses and escort wait her. And the up-to-date suit this year con- sists of a pair of linen riding trousers reaching to the knee where thev are met by leather boots; short riding coat of the same material. Toat's a And does some one ask what has b come of all those dainty little ladies who not long ago could swim and ride in. splendid fashion even though a skirt was somewhere in sizhi? Well. “there ain’t no such animal” now, or if there is she's been caged as a rara avis. The Weeks’ forestry law gets a small appropriation for continuance of the work. The committce on agri- culture did not feel it could continue the two million dollars a year which had expired by limitation, but fnally agreed to an apprcpriation of $600,- 000 a year so the work need not be stopped. Another item of interest to New England was the appropriation of "$500,000 for an interstate bridge between Maine and New Hampshire, starting at Portsmouth so the navy vard would be benefited. New Hamp- shire and Maine through their legis- latures have appropriated _ $500,000 each so the bridge will be built in the near future and wi'l renlace the old toll bridge which is now the only connecting link between the states at that point. Senator Fernald of Maine is_gatting sly digs in_ the ribs from his colleagues and friends who say he must have “gopd old New England conscience that lets him sleep through fire and water.” The large hotel in which the senator makes his Washington home was badly damaged by fire a few nights ago. It was confined to the basement and the guests were not awakened by the management who feared a panic. Many of the guests slept through the noise ana excitenrent and among them was Fernald, who, when someone telephoned him in the morning to know if he was “all right after the fire” asked _ innocently “What fire?” only to be informed that a $25,000 fire had occurred in his ho- tel and that the engines had poured great streams of water into it for two ‘hours or more at early Wiwn, through all of which Main’s senior senator slept as peacefully as if on his home farm on the way down east hills. a | The Chinese government has made a start in th right dirction as far as motor roads are concerned, by build- ing 40 to 50 miles of good roads im the vicinity of Peking; and an_$00- mile highway from Peking to Han- kow in central China, has been men- tioned. \UNBURN Apply VapoRub lightly—it soothes the tortured skine ICK'S VAPOR! %i_ BODYGUARD" -307, 607, a single one of you,” said the lady with the flushed, and distressed countenance, “need say a solitary word when I | through this statesmen—Bruno must go! ‘The end has.come!

Six months ago _Archangel was a gay, wartime capital, with hundreds of Russlan soldiers in its streets and very few of them at the front. Today it is becoming sober, businesslike and engaged in only one pursuit—fighting the bolshevik The change came about in the win- ter. Last autumn the Russian mili-" tary forces were small and the civi- lian and promenade-the-streets off- cers class made merry while Amer cans and Bitish and Fnch _fought their battles at the front. But all the time, the people were being mob- ilized and trained. There was doubt in nearly every mind about the abil- ity of the newly trained Russians to fight. Late in the winter, when the Bolshevik offensive was at its height, Russian mobilized troops were thrown into the line. They made gopd, and, from that moment with only a few little setoacss now and then, the Rus- sians have been keeping up the pace. ¥or six months itney relied upon trangers to fight for them, but from the moment they began to find them- selves, the Rushians developed a morale that has brought about count- less changes ‘not oniy at the front but behind the lines, in once easy- going Archangel. Pushing them on has been a little pocaci-eaition general, a dynamic personality in a plump five-foot frame—Viadimir Marushevsky, com- mander-in-chief of the Russian troops of the North. Once in eom- mand of Russian troops in France, he came to Archangel to push the re- organization of the Rusian army. His orders to the Russian soldiers and of- ficers were as startling to the analy- tie, verbose Slavic population as they were lacon t has come to my attention,” read one of them, “that there has been much useless chattering about certain subjects among the officers. Hence- forth, there will be no more babbling.” Every one in Archangel knew what meant—that political _subjects o be. taboo in the North—Rus- lan army. was clean, com two vears of were not so and water. General Marushevsky, who, garbed in plain, simpie uniform without the gaudy coloring or faney swords af- fected by some of his subordinates, went among the solders and talked to them frequently. So he ordered a compulory weekly bath for every man n the army “It is impossible, there are not enough bath, houses in Archangel” compigined some of his company- and battalion commanders. “I am not in- terested in how you bathe them.” said another order from the dymamic little general. “That is up to you. ‘I ‘will Liear no excuse; every soldier must have his weekly bath.” And now, nearly every day one may see in Archangel, a company or so of singing soldiers, marching to a bath house with their bundles of clean lin- en under their arms The atmosphere of Archangel has certainly improved.
