The Air Adventurers
New air mail and passenger routes are being estab-
lished all the time. The novelty of air traffic has al-
most disappeared. Not so the romance. The Southern
Cross if memory serves is the fifth plane safely to
make the flight from California to Hawaii. Yet Amer-
ica awaited news of its safe lending with baited breath.
Adventure is not foolhardiness. Every effort was
made by those responsible for this trip to make »t
safe to prepare for emergencies to think out difficul-
ties and to be .ready for them.
This sort of thoughtful preparation is one of the
causes for Lindbergh's continued success. And while
in these new strange uncharted fields even the best
prepared may meet unforeseeable and unconquerable
dangers still on the whole the principle holds good.
Patience in wailing for good weather may be difficult
when the ship is ready to sail. But so long as weather
is so important the calmness which permits waiting
for the best opportunity which the present weather-
wisdom can supply may make all the difference be-
tween success and failure. Some flyers have lost
their lives because they thought other people might
think them afraid if they did not start in the face of
adverse conditions. This fear of opinion is in itself
not only unworthy but dangerous.
The great discoveries are made by those who use
all the wisdom they can gather and who leave as little
as possible to chance.
Water
A super-water system is being projected to serve
eight Ohio counties with s ater for domestic and indus-
trial use by drawing it from Lake Erie boosting it
over a 600-foot ridge. It would be piped as much as
seventy miles from its source.
Most of it after it had done its work of turning
wheels and providing power would be allowed to flow-
back into Lake Erie again.
The country has gotten used to large engineering
plans and this one causes no great surprise. The ter-
ritory which this proposes to serve is part of the
great ‘‘American Ruhr" reaching down southeast front
Cleveland through northeastern Ohio and northwestern
Pennsylvania to Pittsburgh. This section is under-
going a period of great development hut it cannot go
very much farther without greater quantities of water
than its own rivers can supply. Lake Erie seems an
obvious source.
The fact that most of the water would get back into
the laste again however is an important and necessary-
feature. Communities—not to say countries—border-
ing on the Great Lakes are not disposed to allow the
levels to be lowered any farther. Sending the water
aack filtered will also be important. Slowly but surely
peoples are awaking to the necessity of keeping their
waters pure.
Men and Machinery
A man writes to a newspaper that he thinks the
only fair way to settle the question as to whether
machines do provide work for the men they displace
would be for someone to follow through the manu-
facture of one of these labor-saving devices. He wants
statistics to show whether the men displaced by the
machine are needed to mine the extra ore required to
manufacture the machines themselves to service them
and to sell them as well as to sell the extra goods
manufactured.
As a rule the replacement is not so simple. The
men dismissed are apt to lack the training required
for the skilled processes of making servicing or selling
the machines themsalves. Their next jobs may be in
unrelated industries. Yet by and large they do find
work again and better paid work as the history of the
nation’s industry proves.
B«it following through and finding out just what
happens and telling about it as a story of human in-
terest and not merely as a matter of curves and dry
figures ought to be an attractive task for some good
writer with a taste for investigation. Perhaps the man
who wrote his little piece to the paper has started
something.
The President’s Vacation
President Coolidge has selected his summer White
House and another lovely American scene heretofore
little known becomes world famous. This year the
president is seeking change and refreshment in a good-
aized bungalow on a little island in the Brule river ia
Wisconsin.
It is said the Cedar Island Lodge is surrounded by
virgin stands of pine and spruce. A beautiful trout-
fillcd river rusher past on its way into Lake Superior.
A president can never wholly escape from his re-
sponsibilities. Into this lovely woodland haunt will go
telegraph wires and a large corps of office workers and
officials. The president will catch his fish and take
his rambles and drives accompanied not only by his
own body-guard but by newspaper men and photog-
raphers. He may have more conveniences than his
fellow citizens on their vacation jaunts. But the latter
will have more privacy if they want it.
IT'S WISCONSIN THIS TIME
(Beaumont Enterprise).
So the Coolidge vacation this summer is to be spent
in Wisconsin. And why Wisconsin? Politicians will
ask that question fitting an answer to it in accord-
ance with their ideas and belief*
There will be no doubt much speculation as to what
is in the Coolidge mind. Let us see. Wisconsin is the
I seat of republican insurgency. In that bailiwick for
many years the word of the elder LaKollette was law
and the son is walking in his father’s footsteps but is
less of • political* power withal.
Why in the name of all that is political shouli
Mr. Coolidge choose to spend his vacation in Wisconsin
this year instead of the strategic east where all the
wiseacre* expect'd him to spend it? Maybe Mr. Cool-
idge is going to Wisconsin because he wants to go
pure because he and Mrs. Coolidge uUed the matter
A
over and decided that the offer of the Pierce lodge
near Brule in the very heart of one of the most pic-
turesque regions in the United States appealed to
them more than any other place brought to their at-
tention.
The environment is wildly beautiful the fishing of
the best. And the president and Mrs. Coolidge may
have remembered the good times they had last year
out in the Black Hills of South Dakota where men
are men and boy preachers eloquent and decided that
they would try the west again although this time the
mise en scene so to speak of the presidential vaca-
tion will be quite different.
There may be not the slightest political significance
in the choice of a spot for the presidential vacation
this year—not the slightest. If tha farmers don’t like
the Coolidge veto of the MeXary-Haugen bill going
to Wisconsin won’t make him any more popular in the
grain belt than he is now. If Mr. Coolidge is to be
'‘drafted” the operation can be performed with no
more facility while he is in Wisconsin than it could he
performed if he w-er* occupying tome rich man’s sum-
mer home on the Atlantic coast.
And it may be that Mr. Coolidge chuckled a little
to himself at the idea of spending his vacation on the
estate of a deceased oil magnate after all the talk there
has been about oil and the republican party!
ECSTASY
There come great moments to all of us. Moments
i when happiness or joy or admiration so transform and
j inspire us that seem to stand outside of ourselves
and forget the existence of our bodies and our cares
i The Greeks invented this excellent word ecstasy as a
! name for this condition of spiritual exaltation It
■ means literally standing outside. The Greeks per-
! ceived that in an ecstasy of joy or happiness or other
| emotion we seem to stand outside of ourselves and
the body appears to go about its business without much
j direction from us. Thus a person in an ecstasy of
love may walk homeward through snow and cold from
the home of his beloved and keep on walking long . “ter
he as passed his street. He is beside himself. Out-
| side of himself. He is as we say "up in the clouds.”
| He pays little atteation to what his body is doing and
| the body left without intelligent direction walks on
! through the cold night although it may he very tired.
The person in ecstasy will “come to himself” after a
while. He will take possession of his body again and
send it back on the right road and so to bed.
• * * •
Some persons rarely experience ecstasy while to
| others this exalted state is a more or less constant
I means of inspiration and consolation. It is not unusual
for writers and studious persons to be ecstatic. The
person Who meditates in a search for truth is likely
to he struck “$U in a heap” as we say by a sudden
access of intellectual or spiritual light. He may
think and meditate for years in search of a clue to
some important truth and all of a sudden the path be-
comes clear to him. He may thin act in such manner
that his neighbors will think him crazy.
Saul the young lawyer of Tarsus had been think-
ing very hard about some cases he was prosecuting.
He was .on his way to Damascus on professional busi-
ness when we are told he was suddenly struck almost
blind and dumb by the light of spiritual truth. In a
religious ecstasy Saul was beside himself and pres-
ently found his body picking itself up off the high-
way. The body had fallen off the horse or donkey on
which Saul had been riding. Had the poor fellow been
driving an automobile at the time he was thus stricken
he probably would have been killed by running the
car into the ditch and humanity would be poorer by
some wonderful letters.
On a later occasion Saul who had changed his name
to Paul was making a speech before King Agrippa and
one of his old companions interrupted him to say
“Thou art beside thyself! Much learning hath made
thee mad!” And that wasn’t such a dumb observation
as you might think. Pan! was beside himself in a
fervor of oratory and religious zeal. He was often ia
a condition of ecstasy as are some of our most force-
ful and most misunderstood men of all ages.
TEAPOT DOME CASE TERMED "WORLD’S
GREATEST FRAUD"
By GERALD P. NYE •
U. S. Senator From North Dakota.
■ Senator Nye was horn in Hnrtonville Win. in
1S92. At the ago of two he moved with his parent*
. to Wittenberg. Wis. where he received his educa-
tion. Nye began his career in the newspaper field
ar.d in 1915 became manager and. editor of the
Daily Plain Dealer at Creston Iowa. About a year
later he moved to North Dakota and purchased a
local paper at Fry burg. In 1919 he settled down
in Cooperstown. N. D. and became manager and
editor of the Griggs County Sentinel-Courier.
Nye was appointed hy the governor as a member
of the U. S. senate in 1925 and was elected to the
same office in 1926).
Never has the world known a case involving a de-
gree of fraud quite evident bribery thievery con-
spiracy and corruption to compare with what has come
to be known as the Teapot Dome-Elk Hills-Continental
Trading company case. The leases involved in the case
are estimated to have hern worth not less than $500.-
000000 and were consummated to use the language of
the supreme court of the United States "by conspiracy
corruption and fraud.”
The investigation has uncovered the slimiest of
of slimy trails beaten by privilege. The investigation
has shown let us hope privilege at its worst. The trail
is one of dishonesty greed violation of law secrecy
concealment evasion falsehood and cunning. It is n
trail of betrayals by trusted and presumably honorable
men—betrayals of a government of certain business
interests and the people who trusted and honored
them; it is m trail showing a flagrant degree of the
exercise of political power and influence and the
power and influence of great wealth upon individuals
and political parties.
Slow to unfold itself and slow in being unraveled
the table of those who engineered aided and abetted
in the naval oil reserve leases and the affairs of the
Continental Trading company goes beyond the most
fertile imagination. The enormity of the offenses in-
volved in these transactions is increased by the fae’
that these great oil reserves created by the acts of
Presidents Taft Roosevelt and Wilson were essential
to the national defense and were intended to he held
inviolate until they were actually needed for the use
of the navy by reason of the depletion of other oil
sources or four some other great national emergency.
In addition to the startling story which the investi-
gation itself has unfolded there are results the direct
outgrowth of facts uncovered by it further to startle
and stagger any mind which has followed the case.
The acquittal verdicts which followed the Fall-
Doheny and the Fall-Sinclair trials have been consid-
ered most deplorable failures of justice on every side
excepting only the side of privilege. These failures
have been of such nature as to prove the need for such
changes in court procedure as will advantage no mom
easily to the criminal of great mean* than to the of-
fender who comes out of the most lowly classes.
Justice has been proved not a thing to he applied to
and enjoyed by all alike but instead a commodity t»
be bought and otherwise influenced hy wealth and able
i lawyer^

The doctor looked up. Then Kent

ers. Stella overcoming a shortness
of breath. explained: “We've come
from the Age office.”
“Oh. it’s Stella Rajrnt. T didn’t

was reassuring. But Homer lay
inert.

“Heil come round all right. They
beat him up pretty badly.” He pick-
ed up the Boston bag and put -way
the bandages and scissors.
"Who did. Doctor?"
"Three or tour men. I didn’t get
much of a look at them. They ran
out through the Swan place to the
back street. By a coincidence I had
just come in from a call. I'd put
up my car and was coming around
the house. I heard Homer shutting
the door of his garage. Then a
scream.” He glanced toward Kitty:
but the girl neither moved nor
spoke. “I gather up »hat she heard
the men and got up nnd went to a
window. She saw them jump on
him.”
Homer stirred. Mumbled. The
doctor and Stella moved to hi* side.
His eyes slowly opened and looked
with a puzzled expression from one
to the other. Then he groaned soft-
ly.
"Splitting . . . What happened?”
“You took something of a beating
Homer. But there's eo bones brok-
en.”
ilm! How’s mv skull?”
'intact thank God! Youil be all
right in a day or so.” Homer made
an effort to lift hi« bandaged head.
“N’o. ray boy you just lie still. Pm
going to telephone over to the hos-
pital for a nurse. When she gets
here we'll put you to bed.”
"But good Lord I don’t need a
nurse!”
"Just a couple of days. I'm going
to keep you under observation. There
may he a lift!* concussion. Best

orders."
I Without a word Mrs. Carver slip

basin out to the kitihen.
Homer's eyes closed again. But
he was conscious. His hands moved
I and he frowned rather painfully.
Kitty sobbed. Stella her nerves on
edge started. The girl rushed out
and ran upstairs.
“I'll go telephone.” said the doc-
tor. "Don't let him try to get up.”
Stella sank into the chair where
the basin had been. Asbury moved
nearer.
“Mv bead isn’t arv too clear” be-
gan Homer apologetically.
“Don’t trv to think.” said Stella.
She couldn’t Tnove her eyes from
j that touseled. bandaged head. A
j warm excited impulse came to take
i it into her nrms. But that wouldn’t
do. "I’m not normal.’’ she thought.
He was speaking again. “The thing
to do is to get this right into the
paper. We can't let it drift for a
week. Not in this k = nd of a fight.
Better telephone Ben to stop the
press. Asbury.”
“As soon as the doctor is through.”
replied that person wheerlly and
stepred out into the hall.
“We’ll have to do something quick.
It needn’t he long.”
“I’ll attend to it.” said Stella.
“Oh will you? That’s good of
you.”
She laid a trembling hand on his
arm. “Please leave everything to
us.” She musn’t cry. “I’m working
for the Age now you know.” If
she sat here mwn longer she’d he
stroking that hruised head. So she
j got up. ’’We’ll put it in a box on
the front page.”
"Will you? That’s the stuff. It’s
wonderful of you. Stella to . . .’’
The doctor reappeared. "It will
] he an hour or two before we can
have the nurse here. Will you
watch him. Stella?”
“I’m afraid I must go hack to the
office. Doctor.”
“Well I’ll speak to Mrs. Carver.
Poor woman.” Thia in a new tore.
Then to Homer: “Bcmember no
| nonsense from you young man. I
want you to lie here ttil I get back.”
I Asbury reappeared. ‘ Ben a hold-
t
ing everything until we get down
there. The compositors have gone
but he says he can set the stuff up
himself. 1* there anything partic-
ular you want us to say?”
“I've got it pretty clear in my
mind.” said Stella.
“Just be sure you hit hard." said
Homer. "No weakening now.”

Stella could write. And on this
occasion the subject matter blazed
in her brain. Within an hour the
proof was corrected jthis over the
imposing stone in the press room)
the make-up completed and the run
of the paper under way again. Miss
Curry proved to be so shaken that
Ashury took her home. Left alone
| in the office. Stella dropped for a
i moment into one of the swivel chairs
I and pressed her hands arainst her
hot cheeks.
A strong light was thrown sud-
denly in through the front window.
She lowered her hands and sat mo-
tionless. Then she saw that there
were two lights. It was an auto-
mobile heading in to the curb. She
heard a door slam. A figure ap-
peared on the screen.
“Oh. Homer!” she cried rather
j weakly. “You shouldn’t have come!"
He was hatless and still bandaged.
As he stepped under the light she
saw how battered his face was. But
he smiled. "I’m perfectly all right
Stella. Thought I’d better have a
look at what you’ve done.”
"No. I'll go out there.”
"Please sit down!” She was too
quick for him. He dropped down at
his desk painfully. Returning with
I the proof she stood hy while he
| read it. and felt relief when he
5 nodded approvingly.
"That’s fine. Stella. Bully. Hit-
] ting straight out. Maybe it'll make
them think. I hope so.”
“It ought to. But really Homer
you shouldn't have . .
"Oh Lord! I couldn't just lie
there. How about you? Aren't you
i all in ? It’s well on in the niurn-
! ins' And you’ve had a day of it.”
She sank into the chair at the
other desk. “I’ll admit I’m limp.
I But I'm too excited to go home.”
It is exciting. I've been thinking
pretty deeply stretched out ther«.
You do at a time like this. Think-
ing over what it seems to be all
about. . . . H’m! Toor old Ham!”
He spread a firm hand on the
desk pressing it down. Stella re-
garding him. found her eyes filling.
“Do you know. Stella. I realize that
I m not like Ham. He was a cru-
sader. Pm not.”

PROFITING FROM COURTESY
A surprising amount of harm may
U done by even ao slight a discour-
tesy as mere inattention on the part
of an employe. 1 heard an angry
woman notifying the floorwalker in a
big department store that sho had
waited three or four minutes to be
served and a girl though not baisy
had failed to notice her.
The floorwalker was unable to pac-
ify the customer and she never went
to that store again. Before that her
tied* had amounted to more than one
thousand dollars a year.
I know of a department store that
is believed to be financially on tha
ragged edge though it was ones
about the most prosperous institu-
tion of its kind in the city where it
is located. And I believe I could put
my finger right on the main con-
tributing cause of its loss of popu-
larity. It has just as good a line of
merchandise at could be found any-
where. and the prices are reasonable.
But if you buy a rug a chair or an
alarm clock at that store and after
taking it home decide that you wish
to exchange it. you will meet an at-
mosphere of deep gloom on the part
of those store employes who partici-
pate in the transaction. Mr. So-and-
So has to go and see Mr. Somebody-
Else before the charge for the re-
turned goods is taken off the books.
Everybody examines the goods crit-
ically as if to say: “I don’t know
about this.”
The customer says to himself **I
hope I don’t have to go through all
this monkey business soon again.”
Other big stores in the same city
are just as careful about making
sure that things returned are in
good condition but they do it in a
nail-fellow offhand way that makes
the customer feel as if he is causing
nobody any trouble whatsoever.
Years ago the big telephone com
•
panic* replaced the unconventional
• Hello” of the central operator with
the more polite phrase “Number
| please.” More recently they dis-
severed that the word “please” re-
| jested several million time* a year
delayed messages and really cost a
lot of mone*. Operators now inquire
merely “Number?” But they are un
der rigid instructions to say the word
with a rising inflection on the sec-
ond syllable which gives • cheerful
chipper sound to the inquiry where-
as the word with a falling inflection
at the last makes it sound as if the
operator is somewhat bored with her
job.
Moreover the big telephone com-
panies in hiring a girl do not con-
sider the beauty of her face or fig-
ure as most of us weald if engaging
a stenographer hut insist that she
must have a pretty voice.
A retail concern with more than
one thousand stores over the country
insists upon its salesmen acknowledg-
ing every purcha>e no matter how
small with a “Thank you. Com*
again” or something like that. No
natter what a customer does this
company insists that he must not be
insulted. He must never leave one
of their stores with the slightest
feeling of resentfulness even though
he himself may have been at fault.
For example salesmen have special
instrurtions in case of receiving coun-
terfeit money. If a customer present*
a lead quarter the salesman must
r.ot chide him for doing so. hut must
offer sympathy telling him that
there is a lot of counterfeit money
in circulation lately and that he evi-
dently has been imposed upon by
somebody. The theory is that it is
better to let a guilty counterfeiter
escape than to take a chance on mak-
ing an enemy of an innocent cus-
tomer.

N®w York L®ft&®ir
NEW YORK. June 7.—In one of the ;
largest hotels in New York where the
average person might have the im-
pression that no attention is paid to
insignificant guests there is a sys-
tem of friendliness that makes vis-
itors realize there is such a thinsr as
hospitality in hard-hearted New
York. This hotel has a man trained
to visit male guests who are confined
to rooms with illness. There is a
woman to make the same visits to
sick women guests.
Not long ago there was. in this
particular hotel a young woman from
tr.y Kentucky. She was alone the
few friends she had in New York
didn’t know she was in the city. She
had an attack of tonsilitis and had to
go to bed. For a few hours she made
her condition worse by crying and
worrying because she was afraid
she’d die of loneliness and inatten-
tion. But as soon as the manager
learned of her illness he got the hos-
pitality machinery going. He arrang-
ed with telephone girls who work in
shifts to spend off hours reading to
the patient had a physician call ar-
ranged for special broths sent in
t tlowers and placed a matron at her
i service to do such shopping as she
I needed.

A reader of the Diary asks: "Is It
harder for a young writer to succeed
in New York than in the old home
town? I have an ambition to be a
rtvelist. I am willing to undergo
Hardships to realize. I don’t think
I’ll ever find encouragement here.”
Supposing of course that he or
she has the necessary talent deter-
mination and energy. New York prob-
ably is tha easiest place to succeed.
There are more opportunities.
Margery Latimer came to New
York four years ago from Portage
Wjs. with no money and a deter-
mination to write. She refused to
.-cek a job that would interfere with
her ambition and eked out a living
r~
as a manuscript reader and book re-
viewer while writing a novel. Her
diet consisted mostly of raw vege-
tables and stale bread.
She found sympathetic friends and
persons of influence offered her fi-
nancial aid. but she proudly refused
it. There is plenty of such encour-
agement for ambitious and energetic
youth in New York.
Miss Latimer's first novel "We
Are Incredible" is a success. Her
short stories are in demand.
“I am glad that I refused offers of
subsidization that kind people made.
It is better to stand on one'a own
feet" she told me. “I know that
when I have something to write I will
write it whether or not l have had a
satisfying dinner that day. The tra-
vail of poverty can even provide an
added stimulus."
And there are the examples of
Anne and Alice Timoney. of my Ken-
tucky. They set up here as authors
with a second-hand typewriter and a
load of courage and determination.
Their first published story—the one
that always gives authors the biggest
thrill—appeared in publication that
suspended before they were paid **>r
it. They supported themselves writ-
ing publicity for banks while compos-
ing three plays on* of which. “Bot-
tled.” is winning them attention on
Broadway.
The Timoney play incidentally la
all about a woman who turned out
the best whisky in the state of Ken-
tucky and was d- proud of it.

The same artists who had to de-
sert Greenwich Village when the in-
flux of wealthier folk made rents go

sult is that the artists are no longer
endeavoring to cling to the island
but are scattering into suburbs. Soma
are taking over abandoned farma.
