By carrier, city, te a wm Rew Can the Navy Justify This: HE navy department may have diffi- culty in justifying its unfortunate experiment with three seaplanes and the lives of 15 men between the California coast and Hawaii. Five of those lives appear to have been snuffed out to prove something that scarcely needed to be proved. Had Commander Rodgers and his crew reached Hawaii it would have been proved that—given good luck all the way absence of unfavorable winds, absence of any accident to the machinéry, absence of any miscalculation on the part of the flyers—their particular seaplane was capable of flying that far, But the navy department could not provide its flyers with this necessary ele- It could only send them off into the blue and trust to fate. The distance in a direct line from Cali- | fornia to Hawaii is 2,100 miles. The se- | verest test to which any of the three | been put was a flight—within safe dis- tance of shore—of 2814 hours. No mile- age record was kept of that flight, but the estimated speed was 80 miles an hour which would give a distance of 2,280 miles. That would be 180 more than re- quired for the flight to Hawaii. Taking into account all the possibilities of dis- aster, was 180 miles extra cruising ra dius a sufficient margin for a 2,100-mile | flight? The navy must answer that. Commander plane carried | 1,278 gallons of gasoline, which was re- garded as sufficient for 200 miles more , In view of the fact that the plane came down be- cause it had exhausted its gasoline sup- ply, it is hardly necessary to ask if the supply provided a sufficient margin for safety. Would it not have been possible to work out this disaster on paper as completely as it has been done in the air? Could the naval authorities not have said, “180 miles extra cruising radius is not a suf- ficient margin for a 2,100-mile trip over uncertain seas and thru uncertain atmos- phere?” Could they not have said, “Gaso- | line for an extra 200 miles is not enough?” In other words, could they not have tested their planes on their own common sense instead of the distant waters of the Pacific? “Every thinkable precaution had been taken,” it is said. Every thinkable precaution—save wait- | ing until they had devised seaplanes that offered some reasonable margin of safety to the heroic aviators and mechanics or- dered to make the flight. - In wartime men of the navy must sometimes be sent on expeditions in which every chance is against them.

He's in Ford's Object Lesson OUNDED on the east by Pittsburg, on the west by Chicago, and on the south by Cincinnati, there is a region that has soured on Henry's everlasting system of economy and general efficiency. You see, Mr, Ford has landed, at Detroit, from Antwerp, Belgium, 1,418 tons of steel rails for his miserable little Detroit, Toledo & Ironton ‘railroad, which is mak- ing profits under raised wages and reduced rates. Henry’s abominable railroad policy is disgusting enough to all American rail- road managements, but is postively it insulting when he sails right by Ameri- »s with a cargo costing him can steel circl $10 per ton | than the American mar- ket price, notwithstanding that he pays for 4,000 miles of ocean freightage and a tariff duty of $2.40 per ton. It another one of Henry’s awful examples of what can be done, and Henry must be corrected for such unseemly con- duct. But how? You cannot draw a pro- hibitory law on him. You cannot cut off his freightage, because he has ships of his own, Raise the tariff on him? Ouch! That means that, indirectly, all of us would have to pay Appeal to his “moral obligation"? more for steel products. ? Alas! Henry's eyes, like most others, are focused on the profit obligation. Looks as if the steel magnates of the Middle West had best resort to prayer. The Yearning for Knowledge HE children of Del Mar, Cal., re- spectfully petition that school open a week in advance voluntarily sacrifice the time set. To week of vacation time is unprecedented in the annals of public education. It indicates that de- termination and eagerness for knowledge upon which our institutions must thrive and endure, a beacon light to the ignor- ant everywhere. Incidentally, Del Mar has just finished a splendid new school playground which the children will be able to enjoy at once by letting one week of vacation time go. an answer to | 1323 cee siass? i] any question of fact or in- | .
