While all Americans will glory in the splendid achievement of Cla(rence Chamherlian in flying with the plane's owner, Charles Levine, from New York to a point within 70 miles of Berlin, Germany, where he was forced down with a broken propeller, there is a feeling that this was not the psychological moment for such a flight and that the effort was pri marily to detract from the epoch making flight of Captain Charles LindbeVgh, who flew alone from New York to Paris. In fact, it was the avowed purpose of Chamberlain and Lev me to beat the long distance non stop flight record that Lindbergh had just made. Some have even express- ad gratification that the plane flailed to reach either of its probable desti- aations—Berlin or Rome. But even though the flight had been completely successful, it would not have detracted from the glory of young Lindbergh’s achievement nor temened one whit the admira- _ lion of the American people—or for that matter, of the entire world—for toe daring aviator who made the ‘ first non-stop flight between given points in the New and Old Worlds. That he did this alone, without even the comfort of human companionship during the long thirty-three and a half hours that the plane was in the air, has forever enshrined him in the hearts of all who admire a com bination of clean sportsmanship and daring- And had the circumstances been reversed—had Chamberlain been • the first to fly from New York to Paris—we venture the assertion that Lindbergh fwouid have been, too good 1 ’ a sport to try to detract in any way from the glory of the achievement, topedallly ait a time when his rival was even then on the high sesas, re turning to receive the plaudits of his fallow citizens. Ag The State aptly phrases it, “Lindgergh’s flight was a Ijric, while that of thei Columbia (Chamberlain’s plane) is merely a Lindbergh traced a splendid •cross the face of the heavens, udrile the Columbia sends a curt dis- —in code.” Agricultural help will dome from too financial leaden. Many have already expressed themselves on the subject. Some of these are powers in the political councils. BiBions of dollars haye been loaned Ip European nations by Will Street during the laabfew years. Interest on ttyese bil^TonS have been paid by subsequent loons from the same source. That is the only manner in which interest-could have been paid. Even a part of the money to main tain German reparatione, under the Dawes plan, came from the U. S. The process cannot be kept up in definitely —and already a default of American loans .to Europe is fore seen unless Europe can find a way of increasing her foreign markets. The foreign market which she most wants ie the United States. Here of course ie the battle ground. Wall Street wants to protect its loans. Manufacturers naturally want the high tariff as now enforced—to keep out imparts of low priced Europ ean goods. The most vital financial commit- ments of the post-war period is duo for a severe strain. •», .• Ford Says Punishment, Not Death. PRIZES OFFERED! FOR BEST VOICES National Radio Audition . ‘’Open to Young, Singers in Thif Country. ; America's future generation .of vocal •tars will be disclosed to the world this Fall as another of the wonders due to radio. Every young map or woman with the gift of song, whether from country, town or city, will have an equal jchance. A nation-stride quest for the best young singers and the opening of the door of opportunity to them has bees undertaken by the Atwater Kent Foundation, an Institution established for Icientlfic and educational purposes by A. Atwater Kent, the Philadelphia radio manufacturer and sponsor of the Sunday night grand opera hour, broadcast over a network of nineteen stations. The Foundation has announced plans for a "National Radio Audition,” to find by competition the best undis covered voices In the United States. Prizes aggregating 917,600, with tui tion for a musical education in certain cases, are offered as follows: The two winners of first place in the National Audition—a man and a woman—will each receive a gold SHVi ^ Tariff Battle Coming.

Capital punishment isn’t the solution for murder. If we must have a hang man, we cannot say that ‘cur State Idlled a man/ We must say, ‘You and I killed him.' sipcnsibilaty fbr every condition to which he consents. Also, that which the State considers proper to do every citizen of that State should stand willing to do. We cannot rid ourselves of the responsibility of; killing a many by merely passing the i job into the hands of a paid exeru tioner. “The Moaaic law of ‘a life for a life’ is an excellent rule, but it does not mdan ‘a death for a death.’ If a man murders and he is executed, we have a situation by which everyone loses. The murderer should be made to pay ba<;k his debt to his vic tim’s family through supporting that family, to pay back his debt to 10- ciety, to pay back his debt to him self through work.” Mr. Ford goes on to say that there is no crime problem in the United States. “Poverty, disease, unemploy ment—these are the nwl problems. Give people work to do and crime will disappear. Alongside every col lege there should be a factory. There should be an industry near every aahoc,J so that the students will be able to learn through the hand and arm as well as the eyes and ears. .“I have many ex-conyicts working Expert Car Greasing ■**.W*5 ,-\ ' jL- - We wish fo announce that we have em ployed the services of an expenenced man to wash cars and are quoting a special price of only $ 1.00.

Even when such a voice could give pleasure to on|y a few thousand people in a year it was a national treasure. Now that millions may en joy it on the same evening through the medium of radio, such a voice has become priceless. “The National Radio Audition, sup ported by the Atwater Kent Founda tion, is an undertaking to search the entire country for beautiful voices and to offer these singers an oppor tunity for full development, recogni tion and reward. • - . , The principal qualifications for con testants are as follows: Must not be over 26 years old; must never have been associated with a professional theatrical or operatic company: mast never have been a paid principal in any concert held out ■ide their own etotes: must declare an intention to follow a musical ca reer and must be free from theatrical or musical contracto.
