Frank Lockhart, whom Barney
Oldfield calls “the greatest automo
bile driver in history,” drove his car
225 miles an hour on a Florida beach
yesterday, lost control and shot out
into the ocean. . -
Such speed in automobiles is val
ueless, because it cannot be used.
Trying for^tTas unwise as some
“stunts” that fliers do, emphasizing
the danger of flying, instead of em
phasizing its safety, as they should.
It is to be hoped that Colonel Lind-
.bergh, the most important young man
to nis country, will realize the danger
and folly of unnecessary risk.
A serious accident to Lindbergh
would set flying back ten years in
America. That is not what he wants v
Great Britain suppresses a moving
picture showing how Nurse Edith
Cavell was shot as a spy by the
Germans. Britain wisely decides such
a picture would only revive and in
tensify international bitterness.
Edith Cavell was guilty under mil
itary law. Allied nations executed
women for crimes no more serious.
But the “moral” circumstances were
different. Military stupidity, that
governed Germany and killed Edith
Cavell, governs Germany no longer.
The Argentine Republic wanted to
rewrite the United States tariff to
compete with American farmers. But
the Argentine didn’t have Balfour

methods.
Radio employs 300,000 people, and
broadcasting reaches 90,000,000.
An athlete, breaker of records, with

it will staind only so much.

The former Kaiser, who must have
done some hard thinking in the last
few years, tells Sylvester \ iereck.
“today the center Of gravity which
determines world power has shifted”
in the United States. America is
master of the world.”
America probably COULD be mas
ter of the world. But to desire that
mastery would l>e foolish. To be
masters of ourselves, mind oyr busi-

crease the well-being of the average
man, is a big enough task.
