per Taking the Air Out of Aircraft O our eyes deceive us can it be that at last are really to reach the end of our perennial aircraft scandal? For some years now there has been far more “air” than aircraft in this coun- try one congressional investigation has Bucceeded another Now, it appears, a committee of congress plans to recommend that a com- petent board of engineers be appointed or we to clear up the muddle and outline a program for us to follow, This board, we understand, is to be composed of experts of such high stand- ing and known disinterestedness that its findings can not be questioned. This paper welcomes the news. We have long advocated just such a step, and for several reasons. In the first place if the country is to have adequate national defense, it must have an adequate air force. Aircraft will +play a far bigger role in the next war, ‘both on land and sea, than it did in the last. In the second place it is perfectly plain that something is the matter with our aviation. Just what is wrong is not quite sso clear, But we can, and should, ‘find out. The way to find out, however, is not the way congress has gone about it thus far. Some of the investigations have + had politics, not the truth about aviation, :as their objective. Others have merely ‘given a chance to aircraft enthusiasts, “or aircraft scoffers, to parade their wildest hopes, fears and opinions as Scientific facts. _ During the World War ‘the country _ called to its aid its best scientific brains tto help win it. Thomas Edison and ‘scores of others were conscripted. If _ our understanding of what the latest congressional committee has in mind is correct, then some such solution to the aircraft puzzle is now intended. * : _If so, more power to the committee's » elbow. Campers’ Hotels ME years ago a nationally known writer, after touring across the coun- try in his car, said that the great need of the motor tourist is a chain of hotels scattered thruout the country. The idea Was impractical as it appealed to the cultivated tastes of this.de luxe camper. In its place are coming tourist hotel camps where rows of neat little cottages are offered at reasonable rates to the > aha who does not want to sleep out the open but who has all equipment for camp life. _ Two of these already have opened along Victory highway and are receiving ‘liberal patronage. As long as they are _ operated decently and in a business-like ‘way they will prove an asset to the com- ‘Inunity. But being of a public nature, with a transient patronage, abuses and vices are apt to develop. There should “be an immediate effort to provide proper police regulation, for the benefit of pa- trons of the places as well as the owners. ; i < i x Gentlemen of Leisure ADY MARGOT ASQUITH, widely : known peeress who writes astounding “things in her books, sometimes, says America lacks “gentlemen of leisure.’”’ She deplores the lack of contemplation or cogitation in American men. On the face this seems a foolish and senseless criticism.

Are all of the so-called luxuries or mechanical conveniences of lasting benefit? Do they contribute to light heartedness, clear conscience and sound sleep at nights? And do they better the disposition, soften the human heart and breed brotherly love? Viewing the trend of modern youth, the answer seems to be, “No!” Perhaps our moral, spiritual and ethical life is not improved much. On the othey hand, the general standard of the peoplé seems to be climbing and instead of some gen- tlemen of leisure, perhaps evolution will develop here a r and people with every member a gentleman or lady of > ?

Such a force, if it comes, will solve the problems of life much more rapidly than a so-called “leisure class,” which to Lady Asquith no doubt means the British nobility. “Colossal Infamy” IXTE months ago Senator Walsh Me wormed out of E. L. Doheny the startling information that he had secretly delivered a little black bag containing $100,000 to Secretary of the Interior Fall, while the two of them were in the midst of negotiations for naval oil lease: That was the high spot in the Teapot Dome investigation. The country suddenly awoke to the full significance of the sordid story which the senate committee had been unfolding little by little for some months before Doheny was trapped. But as time wore on, and as Doheny’s and Harry Sinclair's commercial relations with Fall receded into the past, the public was deluged with propaganda from the oil magnates’ headquarters to the effect that the oil investigation was nothing but pol- itics, that once the oil cases were re- moved from the biased atmosphere of the senate, Doheny and Sinclair would stand revealed as patriots who had done the country a great service. The public was asked to withhold judgment until the court had spoken. And now the court has spoken. A fed- eral judge, after many months of study of the Doheny lease, has found that “the injury done the nation can not be over- estimated. This colossal infamy, regard- less of whether it was a bribe, a gift or a loan, requires this court in conscience to strike down the deals which are con- nected with it.” And what is Doheny’s answer? He in- structs his lawyers to appeal to still higher courts. And yesterday Doheny, after being reindicted in Washington for alleged conspiracy against the govern- ment, could only take refuge behind his old plea that the oil cases were “born of politics.” The lease which Judge McCormick has ruled fraudulent was made over three years ago. The delays of the law have been extensively resorted to to postpone judicial action. But, still it is heartening to know that even at this late day the court is placing its judicial stamp of disapproval on what all intelligent and fair-minded men di- vined from the beginning to be one of the baldest pieces of malfeasance in the history of the government. The Sinclair lease decision and the criminal trials of Fall, Doheny and Sin- clair are next in order. ——® i charcoal and oyster shells, A Hittle hemp, flaz and poppy seeds can be 1920? | any question of fact or in- | fed to them occasionally; graashop- A.
