Out of the mists of the past the majestic figure of Abraham Lincoln, the debater, emerged In bronze, on Au-gust 27, lust to take Its rightful place In Freeport, the city which be made a landmark In American history In bis mpmnrnhlA ffahuf with Rtonrton A Douglas, August 27, 185a In the presence of a throng far In excess of the 15,000 people who crowd-ed Into Freeport seventy-on- e years be-fore, an heroic statue of Abraham Lincoln was unveiled In that city. The great crowd that made Its pil-grimage to Freeport on that occasion waa unlike that of seventy-on- e years before. Then the greater part were farmers and plain folk agitated over the Issue of slavery, which they came to bear clarified. Last year the throng came to pay tribute to the greatness of Lincoln. Of particular Interest was a vener-able group of men and women whose enviable distinction was that they had beard one or more of the debates be-tween Lincoln and Douglas In the summer and fall of 1858. Also con-spicuous In tbe group of distinguished visitors was an official delegation from the legislature of Wisconsin, then in session, which unanimously adopted a resolution to send a delegation to the unveiling. . The statue, which Is a gift to Free-por- t by W. T. Italeigh, prominent man-ufacturer, Is tbe first statue of Its kind and the first one to mark one of the seven debate spots of tbe Lincoln-Dougla- s campaign.

Not Adapted Itself to Necessity of More Speed. Tremendous changes that are com-ing In the automobile world, will re-quire cltcs of the'futhre to be built to fit the gasoline age, according to Charles K. Kettering, general manager of the General Motors Kesearch cor-poration. In an Interview In the Ameri-can Magazine. Only Scratched Surface. There baa been endless change In the automobile, though .we have only scratched the surface," says Kettering, "but meantime the country bas not adapted Itself to the uses of the auto-mobile. The auto waa born Into a horse and buggy world. And by and large. It la atlll running through a horse and buggy world. lour car may go 60 miles an fcour with ease. But make a trip to a town 60 mllea away, and aee bow long It will take you to get there certainly two hours or more. Why Because you will have to pass through a dozen small towns and In each one yon will be routed through the busiest street ton will slow op your trip and get In the way of townspeople who have legiti-mate business In the town. If the country were built for automobiles, you would go along an express high-way, clear around the busy streets. And you would make your trip In an hour. This wilt come so quickly that people will be surprised at It Chsnoes to Come. "This Is only an' instance of the In-numerable changes that will be made In the physical layout of our towns In the next ten years. And we must not overlook the new cities which will be built on the 1030 and 1040 models, and because they are adapted to condi-tions of modern life, they may put a kink In the old model cities." All these changes, continued Ketter-ing, will be the result of dissatisfac-tion of automobile customers. "If you want to see plenty of satisfied cus-tomers, go to China. A world full of satisfied customers would kill business dead as a doornail." STUNTING BRANDED AS POOR PUBLICITY Doesn't Help in Making the Public Air-Conscio- New Tork. The need of a new and broader Interpretation of the relation, ship of aviation to the general public la contained In an editorial, 'Tubllclty That Helps the Industry," In the aero-nautical weekly. Aviation, In the article It Is said that the va-rious stunts which have garnished av-iation, particularly In recent years, are of little value In making the public enough to want to fly. The editorial follows In Dart: "The aviation Industry needs a new brand of publicity. This la not to say the previous standards and practices have been wrong. They served the needs of their particular era and gave the public certain essential facts and a considerable mnsa of heterogeneous Information contributing to "Stunt publicity, L e., parachute jumps, refueling attempts, aeriul wed-dings and the like do not add appre-ciably to the dignity and air of re-sponsibility essential to the continued health of the business. Nor will stat-istics and generously embellished re-ports answer the myriad of questions the public is asking and which must be answered, directly or Indirectly. With the exception of the Lind-berghs, Chamberlains and Doollttles, the dignified, unostentutlong and con-structive workers whose contributions to aviation are not to be measured by temporal standards have been kept in the background too much so, we sometimes feel. We cite the Instance of Lieut Harry Sutton, late of the army air service, aa an example. Lieutenant Sutton over a period of three years dally risked his life and limb In hundreds of test "spin" flights in an effort to analyze this feature of flying and to nullify Its Influence. "His reward, modestly given and modestly received, was a medal from the War department and a better pay-ing Job In the industry." DECLARES PILOT IS NOT A SUPERBEING S. A. Morehouse Objects to This Romantic Idea. New Tork. Sllaa A. Morehouse strenuously to the Idea that a pilot Is a superbelng. The romonce-lovln- g part of the public, be declares, has built up a tradition about the man who flies an airplane that would have him thought of aa a combination of a Caesar, Magellan, Mussolini and Robin Hood. "It's all wrong, the Idolization by the public," said Morehouse, who Is chief pilot of a big air transport com-pany. "A pilot la an ordinary man, filled with normal ambitions, who does his work as It comes, occasionally do-ing something outstanding because the opportunity comes bis way. 8ound Judgment Strewed. "Common sense la a Jewel of a phrase. It associates directly with good judgment, and In hiring pilots for my line I strive to determine the amount of good Judgment a pilot has. Of course, this comes only after we are satisfied that he knows perfectly the mechanical part of piloting." The age at which a pilot Is best fit-ted to start flying big transport planes Is, In most cases, between 23 and 32, Morehouse said. By that time he has learned his profession, thor-oughly, and moreover, lias satisfied bis desire for experimenting with planes in the air and Is content with safe flight Transport line pilots heretofore have come from the ranks of army and navy pilots almost exclusively. His company, according to Morehouse, has only one pilot who has had no mili-tary or naval experience. For the futi're. however, the air transport lines must look to the commercial schools for their new men. "The average course for this in-struction necessitates an outlay of about $7,000," be pointed out, "$5,000 for the course and the rest for ex-penses. Then the graduate must flg-- ure on working as copilot for several months or yeara until he makes more than living costs. "A training course for an air trans-port license can be likened to that of the education of a physician. While the time required la not so long, the qualifications are great, and money expended as much. Constant Service Valued. "It is very nnusual when we tnke a man who has left aviation for a while and wants to return to his old love. We believe that a pilot should have constantly associated himself with planes from the time be learned to nantiie tne controls. "Personally, I would rather a pilot that I employed bad not been In a crack-up- , although others argue that such an incident makes an airman more careful. But I believe that if a man erred once, there is a possibility it may occur again. We know tbe record of every man we employ. A similar procedure is taken by steam-ship companies In selecting their navi-gators."

A disk on the upper end of tbe rod makes contact with a wire and there-by grounds it when the water level goes too low.

Add Insult to Injury F. Scott Fitzgerald, the novelist, talked about modern travel. "The French," be said, "call travel-ing a trlste plalslr, a sad pleasure. Modern travel bas this drawback, cer-tainly no matter bow primitive the country, the prices are those of Lon-don and Purls. "A man was traveling in the Landes, a primitive part of France. He put up for a week at a hotel of the most primitive type. He didn't complain about the coal-o- ll lamps, the tough steaks and so on, for he had expected such things, but he did growl ever-lastingly about the attendance. He told the proprietor ten times s day that no matter how hard and how long he pulled the belt rope at the head of his bed, never, never would anybody come. "His bill at the end of the week was large, but he'd expected that, too, and didn't complain. What got his goat was an extra "'Exercising on dumb-bell- , 150 francs.' " Girl at the Top in Health Test jt J Millions of boys and girls all over the world, thousands of them right here In the West are being restored to health and strength by the purely vegetable ton-ic and laxative known a8 California Fig Syrup and endorsed by physicians for over 50 years. Children need no urging to take It They love Its rich, fruity flavor. Nothing can compete with It as a gen-tle, but certain laxative, and It goes further than this. It gives tone and strength to tbe stomach and bowels so these organs continue to act nor-mally, of their own accord. It stimu-lates the appetite, helps digestion. A Kansas mother, Mrs. Dana All-Eir- 610 Monroe St., Topeka, says: "Bonnie B. is absolutely the picture of health, now, with her ruddy cheeks, bright eyes and plump but graceful little body and she stands at the top In every health test. Much of tbe credit for her perfect condition is due to California Fig Syrup. We have used It since baby-hood to keep her bowels active dur-ing colds or any children's aliments and she has always had an easy time with them. She always responds to its gentle urging and is quickly back to normal." Ask your druggist for California Fig Syrup and look for the word "California" on the carton so you'll always get the genuine. Office Building Garages Urged as Parking Answer Solution of the downtown parking problem In large cities by providing automobile storage apace In office buildings Is urged by Dr. Miller Doctor McCllntock, who is director of the Erskine bureau of atreet traffic research of Harvard university, In a report to the American Institute of Architects said office building garages already bad been provided In numer-ous cities. He mentioned the Pnre Oil building In Chicago, which utilizes what nor-mally would be the court of the build-ing to a height of 20 stories to provide parking space for 600 cars. TO THE MOTORIST t Freshly oiled roads are dangerous drive slowly. see The battery Is weak If headlights are very dim at low car speeds and very bright when going faster, e e The engine should be permitted to beat np, even In hot weather, before driving away. Nearly all car bodies are lacquered these days. Not so fenders. They are enameled. Accordingly, it Is well to remember that gasoline never should be used In cleaning them. It dulls the finish. ; EARLY LINCOLN PORTRAIT The earliest portrait a! Lincoln takes Just before be ares 40 yeara old.

Two States Cut Fee for Automobile Licenses Motorists of Texas and Nebraska will have cause for Joy when they ap-ply for new licenses. A new law In Texas will aave motorists In that atate $11,000,000 In license tax. A new scale, effective In Nebraska since July 25, 10"9, has already saved motorists $42,242. License fees In Texas for 1930 will range from one-hal- f to two-third-s of this year's rate. Prior to July, Ne-braska's fees were based on a mini-mum of $8 plua 50 cents for every ad-ditional 100 pounds of weight above 2,000 pounds. The new law lets all cars of less than 2,700 pounds Into this class. . LITTLE TOYS TEACH TRAFFIC THEOREMS r--r?. U--?

Bloody War Communist Candidate Foster in one of his New Tork addresses attacked war. Be said: "They talk of tbe glory of war. The armchair heroes, I mean, talk of it In the trenches It's different. "The glory of war I The trenches, the real fighting, knock '1' out of glory." Entertainment "What do you want with four gal-lons of borse liniment!" "It's for a hunt ball" Study Flyers' Sight at Wilmer Institute Baltimore. The effect on vision of the extremely high altitude at which aviators fly is a subject of intensive research In the laboratories of the new Wilmer Institute of St Johns Hopkins university and Johns Hopkins hospital. It is hoped that the out-come of the study and research at tbe Institute In connection with the visual difficulties of aviators will contribute to the solution of many of the prob-lems that are presented In the field of aviation. Doctor Wilmer, head of the Insti-tute that bears his name, became In-terested In the problems of eyesight of aviators during the World war. He entered the army as colonel in the medical corps and directed the work of the medical research laboratories of the air service in Investigating, among other problems, the effect of high altitude on vision. An Instru-ment, known as the Henderson-Pierc- e rebrenttiiiig apparatus, was developed, which produces In a man In the y an effect similar to thnt which he would experience at high alti-tudes. Church Keeps Lincoln's Pew Many differences of opinion have been expressed as to Lincoln's atti-tude toward religion. He was a con-stant attendant at tbe New Tork Avenue Presbyterian church In Wash-ington. His pew is now pointed our to visitors. A silver plate marks It, and a silken cord prevents any from entering. Only by Invitation is It occupied. On the Sunday previous to Lincoln's birthday an Invitation always Is extended to the President and the First Lady to attend divine services, at which the sllkee. cord is raised. What the Average Pilot Earaa The average pilot on a regularly scheduled air transport line earns $",-55- 8 a year and works an average of less tbnn two and a half boors a day, flying about 40,000 miles a year, ac-cording to a report of the aeronautic branch of the Department of Com-merce. The same report states that the average air transport operator em-ploys pilots at a base pay of $194.02 a month, with additional compensation at the rate of 5.5 cents a and 9.3 cents a night-mile- . Flying an average of 63 hours a month, the average pilot earned J4G3.51 during that period. Mechanics and riggers earned an average of $104.37 a mouth, nt an hoirtly rate of 70 cents. I wish so to conduct the affaire of this administration that kf, at and when I come to by down the refna el power. I have lost every other friend en earth. I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be dowa inside of no. Lincoln. Testing Airplanes Is Now Only Routine Job St Louis. The constant thrill which was once Hie life of the airplane test pilot is gone for "Red" Harrlgun, who takes up planes for their first flight for an aircraft corporation here Testing planes now, nn'rlgiin said, is more or less a routine matter, and he baa discarded use of the parachute. It was different five or ten years ago, when he tested planes for the navy. "Once I hod a new navy ship up fo.- - a test bop, and without any warning the motor supports broke and the engine dropped out," he said. "Twice the wings of planes have come oft during tail spins, and it used to be a common oc-currence to have the control wires breuk or Jam and the landing gear to break or the motor cut out" Careful ground Inspection nnd good workmanship, Hnrrlgnn said, have taken the risk out of test flights, and each airplane coming off the produc-tion line Is as much like Its predeces-sor as are automobiles. Avoid Hitting Curb Care should be taken never to run tbe car Into the curb or against any protruding object that Is liable to Jar the front wheel sharply, which may bend tbe tie rod or steering knuckle arm. In the event of such an accident, It will be necessary to either straighten the old parts or replace them with new ones. When such repair has been done, see that the front wheels are ' lined correctly to give better control of the car and leas excess wear on tHe tires. Be especially cautious when meeting curves in the mountains. They are apt to be on grades. e a e The theory with some seems to be that If they swear long enough tn the garage, the air becomes warmer and the car will start. see Voung Westlnghouse is working out an ingenious plan, at this time, to pour the Ingredients . into the automobile radiator and have Ice cream when yon return to the parking lot Good and Evil The true rule. In determining to embrace or reject anything, is not whether It have any evil In It, but whether It have more of evil than of good There are few things wholly evil or wholly good. Almost every-thing, especially of government policy, Is an Inseparable compound of the two, so that our best Judgment of the preponderance between them is cosy tiuually demanded. Llncaua. |
