Railways Enter Aviation Field
No one can accuse Gen. W. W. Atterbury nreo;-
dent of the Pennsylvania railroad of being a visionary.
The "Pennsylvania has for years been regarded a* ore
of the most conservatively managed railroad* in the
United States and it* annual reports have reflected
that conservatism in the road's solid financial
standing.
The announcement that the Pennsylvania is one of
* the backers and principal stockholder* in the newly
formed Transcontinental Air Transport Co. Inc. is
therefore taken as an indication that even the most
conservative of business men realize there is nothing
visionary in relation to the future development of
aerial transportation. General Atterbury in a recent
formal statement declared that the tim« had come for
the uif of airplanes in connection with railroad? nnd
enthusiastically endorsed the plans of the new cor-
poration to inaugurate 48-hour service between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts. He said that far-reaching
developments could be expected to result from the new
program which for the first time places one of the
largest railroad systems squarely back of the develop-
ment of aeronautics as an integral part of its pas-
senger service.
Commenting upon the decision of the Pennsylvania
railroad to embark in this new field General Attcrbur/
said the railroad “has taken this step after careful
consideration. Our railroad ha* become part owner
of the Transcontinental Air Transport Inc. in tht
belief that the time is ripe for the inauguration of
safe and convenient passenger airplane service in this
country in connection with rail facilities. Years o'
flying and careful research have demonstrated that
with proper maintenance and operation passenger air-
planes of the type to be used by the new company fly-
ing only in the daytime and over carefully selected
and marked routes can be safely operated."
Considerable impetus was given commercial avia-
tion by Henry Ford but it is doubtful if there it any
individual or corporation whose endorsement would
prove of greater value than General Atterbury and the
Pennsylvania railroad. Years of conservative man-
agement have given the Pennsylvania prestige and any
declaration by that railroad or its president is given
respectful attention by the entire country.
General Atterbury was reported as having said that
the railroads at first began to overlook the significance
^ _ of motor bus transportation w ith the result that they
found themselves in direct competition with the^c
lines. Many railroads were then forced to run their
own bus lines in competition with existing m«tor
•ystem*.
Repetition of this condition in the fie.'d of aviation
will be avoided it was said inasmuch as the railroads
according to General Atterbury. may be expected to
take an active part in the development of the«e new
facilities for paesenger travel.
Launch Attack on Rate Relief
A vigorous attack has been launched by shippers
•f the Southeastern territory against the recent order
of the Interstate Commerce Commission placing in
effect the new rates in Southwestern territory on July
8. The Southeast maintains that the Southwestern
rates are discrimnatory; that they seriously affect the
Southeast and have turned loose a barrage of attacks
which may result in rescinding the order unless the
Southwest takes steps to protect its interests.
The Southwestern rates were ordered into effect
seversl months ago but have been postponed on five
different occasions on account of protests by carriers
and shippera adversely affected. The Southeastern
territory has voiced its objection on each ooccasion; 1
but the rates having been adjusted to the satisfaction
of Southwest territory the Southeast is now re-
doubling its efforts to have them set aside pending
adjustment of Southeastern rates on the same basis j
In the event the Interstate Commerce Commission acts
upon the protests of the Southeast the entire rate
structure set up for the Southwest will probably be !
h'ld in abeyance two or three years.
In connection with the attack of the Southeast an
effort is being made to induce congress to repeal the j
Hoke-Smith resolution which instructs the Interstate
(ommerce Commission to give agricultural products I
preference in making rates. The Southwestern rates j
were rompiled in accordance with this resolution and
material benefits will accrue to Southwestern agricul-
ture in the event the rates are permitted to go into
effect on July 8. as scheduled.
The Lower Rio Grande Valley is especially iuter-
ested m the new rates. According to conservative evt>-
mates the Valley growers would have saved approxi-
mately *1250000 had the rates been placed in effect
• n December as originally ordered. Relief from the
present rates will be secured for next season in the
event the rates are placed in effect July 8. as now or-
ered. But if the Southeastern fight against the
Southwestern reduction is successful the Lower Rio
•rande Valley can expect no relief for at least a vear
and possibly several pears.

Relative to the attack upon the Hoke Smith resolu-
tion m congress there i. hardly a possibility that
action can be secured at this session. Opponent.
the resolution maintain that it virtually instructs the
commission to discriminate against industry and t’ t
as a result industry is called upon to bear an
|s burden. Supporter of the resolution assert that K. 1
ricultural products are necessities and that p„bp’ I
interest demands they be favored in the making / f

BRITISH CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
(Christian Science Monitor).
Jhe $ritub jjaihament § carciul^ soliatudt iot the
nation's constitutional rights was once again illus-
trated in the attack made against certain proposals in
the rating and valuation bill when it came before the
House of Lords in the latter part of April. Criticism
was mainly directed against clause 4 which was held
to revive one of the objectionable practices out of
which arose the dispute between the king and the par-
liament in the days of the Stuarts.
Desiring to save time and expense the Centra!
Valuation Department asked for power to go direct to
the high court when it wanted an opinion on certain
doubtful points of law and this was provided for in
the hill. Thus the department was to be empower* 1
to skip the ordinary processes of law and the high
court was to he asked for its views on matters wnich
might afterward come before it for judicial decision.
The legal luminaries of the House of Lords nuut-
diatel.v pounced on this provision as prejudicing tne
"rights of the subject to argue his case before the
courts.”
The London Times commenting editorially on the
controversy said “No one impugns the motives of
those responsible for the proposal” but added “the
best legal opinion in the country is strongly opposed
to clause 4 as constituting a dangerous innovation or
the fundamental doertmes of Kngiish law.” The Times
therefore supported the demand that the clause «nould
be dropped. It also referred to the fact that Lord
Hewart in his address to the American Bar last year
“pointed out the lengths to which this process ’ ((of
withdrawing from the subject the full protection of the
courts) “has been carried within recent years the se-
rious menace to the most elementary rights of th? cit-
zen which it contains and the necessity and urgency
of arresting it.” It is needless to say that the result
of the putcry was that the government gave way ami
the objectionable clause was deleted.

LINUBERGH AGAIN
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh you may have no-
ticed. is one of my specialties. I am convinced that ho
is the best most substantial and most genuine hern
for everyday worship that any nation ever produced.
! am confident taht he will not prow shoddy or cheap
from long wear.
It is one thing to be a hero for a few weeks. It is
another thing to be a young hero who must continue to
be a hero for year* perhaps for a long lifetime. I
cannot help comparing the heroship of Lindbergh *o
that of Richmond I’earson Hobson who was one o£
the most wildly acclaimed heroes this nation ever en-
joyed in 1898. Mr. Hobson’s status of national heiu
did not last long. He yielded to the temptation to
permit girls to kiss him. and when he had been kissed
by many thousands the nation didn’t want him for a
hero any more. I don’t blame Hobson a bit. He nay
have cho en the better part. What lasting adulation
could surpass in value a million enthusiastic xissej
from the lips of the nation's fairest?
But Lindbergh doesn’t allow any kissing. He main-
tains his dignity which is a wonderful thing for so
young a man to do. And he doesn’t permit himself
to be exploited vulgarly for pay. He’s the most nero.c
hero of them all.
• • • *
Now Lindbergh is going to Europe again by *:r
I m all for it. 1 think the whole scheme is conceived in
good sense good taste and good judgment.
In this colnin some weeks ago I suggested th*t
Mr. Lindbergh be sent about the world as the American
ambassador of goodwill to visit every country on ear*h.
Some of my readers wrote me that this would be
shameful risking of the young hero’s life. 1 could ve
their point of view but I still thought it a real
j scheme both fromthe standpoint of Lindbergh snn
from the standpoint of our national and humanita-
rian interests. Now the plan serins to be on the way
to accomplishment.
Of course Lindbergh will visit Sweden the and
of his fathers. Sweden will take him to her heart.
The Swedes are among the greatest people on thi*
round globe but they don’t make as much noise as
some of us so they are not generally estimated at their
true worth. I lived among the .Scandinavians in *Mm-
nesota for three years and married the daughter of
two natives of Sweden. So I speak with some authority
when I say that the longer and better you know the
Swedes the better you like them.
• * • •
Lindbergh will make the crossing safely and will
demonstrate the advantagesv during the warmer
months of th far northern route to Europe. Before
he is much older f expect to see Lindbergh cross to
Europe over he North Pole. That’s a pioneering oh
for his Viking •spirit.
TO NATIONAL UNITY .
By HARRY E. HULL
l Harry E. Hull was born at Belvedere. X. Y.. in
1864. He was educated in grammar and high
school* at Cedar Rapids Iowa. After for some
years pursuing a business career. Hull was elected
mayor of \\ illiamshurg. Iowa for one term. 1887
to 1889. and served as postmaster of the town
from 1901 to 1914. He served later as represents*
ti\e in the Sixty-fourth and Sixty-eighth con-
gresees from the Second Iowa district. Hull ha*
been commissioner general of immigration since
1925).
People have moved from place to place and from
country to country ever since the advent of mankind; j
and. whether from impulse impetus or other causes.;
the effects of the movements of people have been sim- j
ilar in the majority of particulars. Immigration has
made history and upon it and its incidents rests the 1
citizenship of every country.
Citizenship be it good bad or indifferent dormant |
or progressive is after all the final product of the
civilization of the world; and the zealous patriotic!
highly-perfected citizenship of which America boast* |
today bespeaks the structure of the immigrant forces j
who in their determination to escape from intolerance.!
came to America and finally established the original
thirteen colonies of which the United State* of Amcr- i
ica is the outgrowth today.
In the face however of our national advancement in ]
are and sciences in culture in education in health j
and in industry wealth and government just a few ■
years back we began to realize that into the cruciblo |
of America's melting pot of humanity there was being I
thrown too much of the human dross of countrie !
which had not been as active as America has been 'n |
striving to reach the very heights of civilization.
Thus we have placed upon our statute books ai. j
immigration law the intent of which is to maintain the '
high quality of our citizenship by making sure thai *
its standards shall not be lowered by entrants of a i j
inferior type physically mentally and morally.
As a result of this trend of opinion in favor of
greater national self-preservation in immigration con
gress in 1921 passed the first quota law.
It is my opinion that w* should place numerical j
limitations on the flow of immigrants into the coun-
try from contiguous territory the better to protect our
It bor and civilization.
In the years past the quantity of immigration '
classes submerged the quality. Today it is our na- I
tional duty to see to it that quality i* supremely nair.-
taincd. and apparently the only way to do so is
through the most MiaXul Ml«eUv# proce.ae*

CHAPTER 2
READ THIS FIRST:
Car a girl succeed in the big
city without paying the price? Can
a girl win success tn business with-
out sacrificing her idetls—her soul?
Is the modern working girl as moral
and true as the girl in the home?
Certainly the answers to these ques-
tions are interesting enough to peo-
ple of this modernistic age.
And the answers may be found in
this story of the restless love of two
gills—sisters—one of the city and
one of the village. But it is chiefly
of the sister who hnd drifted to the
big city.
The scene of this story is the
village of Ackland Center nestling
beneath its protecting garment of
elms breathing yet of the past.
Askland was proud of its past its
traditions and beauty. Rut the mod-
ern world was fast crowding in on
its peace. A notorious roadhouse
Jazzland. was opened by a gang.
Liquor flowed. Girls of the town
were lured there. Young Ham Pew
editor of the weekly newspaper
“The Age" was starting to fight this
new menace. He was due for the
biggest fight of his life.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY)
• • •
CHAPTER 2
The Bagot property lay half a mile
west of the Center on the state road.
There had been Bagots in Ackland
since 1690. The farm hnd shrunk
to four acres and a wocdlot but the
old house stood in all its memories—
finely proportioned low with a rest-
ful air of clinging to fhe soul. The
Victorian but inoffensive porch had
been built across the front shelter-
ed from prying eyes by tall lilac
hushes. Ivy climbed to the eaves.
The twin elms in the dooryard were
now hoary giants patched with ce-1
ment but still spreading majestical-
ly over the roof. The barn was an
eastern extension of ihe house con-
ns tod with it by a wood>hed with
lb* traditions! open erchwav that
#»i •iwayt iiiitd »uh cordwood
piled with the end* exposed for sea-;
toning.
Here dwelt Pearce Bagot. his wife'
Harriet and the younger daughter.!
Martha recently graduated from the'
local high school. A supple young
stcr Martha with a prettily clipped!
blonde head. The elder daughter.
Stella had flitted some years back.|
first to college and then to New
York where she had become assist-J
ant editor of some magazine or oth
er and lived her own independent
life. On her rare visit* home she
appeared as a striking young woman
taller and darker in coloring than
the wide-eyed Martha wearing no-
ticeably smart clothes with a New
Yorkish ease and smoking cigarettes
rather more freely than wbs cbm-
mon among the girls of Ackland.
Pearce ami Harriet had taken her
bold plunge into the world pretty
hard. They seldom mentioned her.
Pearce Bagot was a low-spoken
man of quiet tastes something of an
authority on local history and giv-
en to collecting this and that. Ar-
rowheads in particular. They were
still to be found about the farm. In
his younger years he had roved far
afoot over the pleasantly wooded
hills of the region and about the
shores of the numerous ponds pick-
ing up anthing from a stone hatchet
to a British belt buckle. He’d never
had the vigor of his forbears. Dur-
ing late years until his health fail-
ed he kept books for the Harmer
Coal and Feed company. After that
he took to working his fields and
sprucing up the orchard. The endless
stream of automobiles that flowed
along the state road suggested set-
ting up a wayside stand as so mayy
of his neighbors had done. Here
the family sold vegetables and fruits
in season and did well.
One sunny afternoon in July a
Friday. Hilda Shirlaw. a plump
neighbor parked her Ford by the
gate and stepped in for a little visit
with Harriet. The ladies’ committee
of the vestry were olanning a straw-
berry festival and ib»re were de-
tails to b« talked o*«t< ft be
middle-aged women sat in the screen-
ed porch under the lilacs.
“Martha's all through with high
school isn't she?" asked Hilda
opening her knitting hag. “What
are you going to do with her? Think-
ing of college?”
Harriet a gray quiet woman
pouring a cup of iea. Her thin lips
drew tightly together for a moment.
“No’ she said. “No. we're not."
“Perhaps you're wise. The girls
that go to college seem to get their
head* full of strange ideas. Vilda
who was a free talker would have
run on hut suddenly thought of the
absent Stella and stopped short.
Harriet dropped in the sugar and
poured the thick cream. “I don t
know what to make of the girls now-
adays.” she said soberly.
“Who does. My word!”
“I’ve lost one daughter.” Hilda
caught her breath. She never be-
fore heard her friend speak out on
that topic. “And 1 don't propose to
lose the other."
“But what can you do. Harriet?
Take my Annie. ! keep her in all
I can but she slips around me. It's
a worry with all that’s going on
these days and the stories you hear."'
“I’m doing it." Harriet was grim.
“It seems a little hard on her. bhe
complains that 1 don't let her have
any fun. But just the same. I'm
i keepuft her under my eye. Some
day 1 suppose she’ll marry.”
“She's attractive enough heaven
knows."
“Almost too attractive. And tht
way she will get herself up."
“We can't help that. I'm afraid
They're all flappers nowadays."
“I hegged her not to bob her hair.
But she simply went and did it."
Hilda threw' up her hands. ’It
was the same with Annie. It's a
sore point between us now.”
“I try not to have sore points
Hilda. It doesn’t help any when
folks have to figure on living to-
gether. I lie awake nights think-
ing up wavs to keep her occupied
and reasonably happy. We put in
the radio for her. And it's the real
reason Pearce bought the Ford. We
didn't need it. The buses do us
perfectly well.” She lowered her
voice for the girl would be some-
where within the bouse and the
windows were open. “But something
has got to be done about girls now-
adays. The only place 1 know of
w-here they can be protected is the
home. I propose to protect Martha.
And I mean to keep her home. It's
the only way. She’s not a bad child.
She has done a lot of good reading
and I suspect her of writing poetry
in secret. She* really a help about
the place.”
A motor stopped out by the road.
Harriet called in through the win-
dow: ‘.‘Martha! Oh. Martha! Some-
body at the stand!”
The girl deep in a leather chair
with her legs sprawled over one arm.
was reading a novel.
“Isn’t Pad there?" she called back.
“No. He's out in the woodlot. I
told him we'd watch the stand.”
With a rather dramatic sigh.
Martha stuffed her handkerchief be-
tween the leaves for a bookmark and
went out. The car. beside the road
was a new sedan shining with olive-
green paint. The cushions were of
deep green leather. Martha taking
it in noted a vanity case by a rear
door and a vase for flowers. Not a
cheap machine. Then demurely she
considered the two young men Qn the
• front seat. Her first thought wa-
that they were extremely good look-
ing. Students very likely. On va-
cation.
“Did you want something?” she
asked. She learned to be impersonal
with the roadside people. But her
pulse had quickened.
The two men looked at each other.
The farther darker one grinned;
and she thought nudged his friend.
This blonde one apparently was to
be the spokesman. “Have you got
any apples?" he asked.
“Applefc? Why no. Not yet.’
The dark one exploded. “Apples
you fish? Early in July? Ask for
something sensible.” Both were
laughing now. And Martha was try-
ing not to smile.
“Well it’s all one to me. Let’s
see what you have got.” They de-
scended from the machine and went
over the stand. “Strawberries! Mm.
»bat beauties! We'll take those.
How much for all of ’em?”
“All ot them?” Martha faltered-

AMERICAN GIRLS CAUSE ENVOY
GREAT ANGUISH
WASHINGTON.—Kin* George and
Queen Mary played a mean trick on
Alanson B. Houghton our ambassa-
dor in London whan they tacked five
extra "court*" onto their regular
schedule for this season.
Choosing the mere corporal’s guard
of American women who are all he'a
allowed to nominate for “presenta-
tion" at these functions out of the
I large army of candidates for the
honor is the awfulest job the Unit-
ed States diplomatic representative
at the British capital has to handle.
Just as he thought he had finish-
ed with it for the current year
here Houghton's stuck for an over-
flow series of the cussed affairs
lasting up to and including June 13
—the longest-drawn-out period of
such agony on record.
• • •
The state department knows ex-
actly how the ambassador and all his
underlings feel about it because
plenty of its personnel have been at-
tached to the London embassy in va-
rious secretarial capacities and real-
ite what horrors its staff must be
undergoing from past personal ex-;
perience.
There was some snickering in the
department when news first arrived
of the unusual prolongation of the
“season." but the older and higher-
up officials soon hushed it. It was
a moment for deep sympathy they
said—not for heartless laughter.
Besides the slightest mistake an
the ambassador’s part in denying a
“presentation to some woman who
really ought to have been “present-
ed" always is liable to be followed
hv an unpleasant oolitical “repercus- ;
sion" here at home—and that isn’t a j
bit funny. Cases are on record
where it's affected promotions ar
raised difficulties in the way of san-
ate confirmations of appointment*.
Thera isa’t a hf rd-aad-fwj
on tha number of eouatryu
ambassador may aak to ll
santad” to their Bntannie 1^
It would ba almost batter if
were. Then be could put it
firat-coma-first-sarvad basis
he can't expect to average more than
about a doten per “court —and h*
always has hundreds of applicant*
Those who positively must ba pie-
sentad" usually pretty well exhaust
his quota. 1
Yet the others seldom are from
walks in life which make it safs j
for him to turn uo his noses at 'em.
They generally have men folks with
millions and lots of influence. Iheir
wive* and daughters turned down
they raise Cain—cable to their sena-
tors. let alone their congressmen—
roar to tha see ratary of state—some-
times invoke tha president—threaten
—kick up tha very devil.
• a •
Then again. Queen Mary eipecial-
lv. is mighty particular.
‘ For instance the embassador who
stood sponsor for a divorcee at ons
of her “courts” might just as wetl
send his resignation in with her—
he'd be persona non grata thencefor-
ward forevermore.
Now there are quite a few Ameri-
can divorcees who think they're some
pumpkins and wouldn't like it to
have their ambassadors tell ’em.
“Sorry ladies but you stand no show-
■t the court of St. James—with your
matrimonial records.”
• • • •
Thus it will ba seen that our en-
voy on the Thames gets a great suf- .
ficieney of “courts” without five ex
tras wished upon him at the end
of the "season” for good measure.
It's easier patching up difference*
of opinion between the Japan?**
And tome folks say that London

V*. T. Shearer an Englishman re-

cally American museums he should
see in New York. (I suggest the
Metropolitan Museum or Art partic-
ularly the early American wing; the
American Museum of Natural His-
tory. the Museum of the American
Indian and some of the commercial
places such as the Grand Central

James IN Slattery also of Colum-

him names of greeting-card publish-

who puts a query to the Diarist has
to wait for an answer. (Replies are

girh are trained as maternity norites.
' 1 referred the reader to Babies’
hospital. City hospital. Nursery and
f hild's hospital. New York Infirmary

Mrs. J. R. New Castle. Pa. want-
ed to know whether there was a
market for fancy work in New York.
(I suggested that the supply >*
greater than the demand here and
that she probably could find a bet- f
ter market nearer home.)

assistance in obtaining employment
in New York aomething the Diarist
obviously cannot undertake to do.
