Aircraft of many kinds were tested in speed competitions, and in other phases of rivalry. The automobile speed contests are not to have a monopoly on swift racing. Airships are to be their rivals henceforth. Air tourneys will probably be frequent in future. Sensational feats will be performed, no doubt. There will be thrills without number. In aerial races, as in automobile speedway races, it will be necessary to look carefully to the safety of pilots, and to the safety of spectators. As aeronautics develop, the question of safety to the public—to those who stay on terra firma, under the flyers—must be considered and provided for in systematic way. For ere long the air over great centers of population will be crowded with aircraft. Provision must be made to safeguard the masses of the people who shall be doing the day's work under the clouds of airships. ADJUSTING HUMAN NATURE One of the things the world needs today is an adjustment between human beings. So many people are narrow in their convictions and want to regulate other people's lives. Others are too lenient in their conduct and in the way they regard the acts of others. There seems to be so few who are travelling in the middle of the road, nearly all are going to one extreme or the other. This faction is saying, "Everything you desire to do must be wrong." The motto of the others seems to be, ADJUSTING HUMAN NATURE One of the things the world needs today is an adjustment between human beings.

If the bigoted could only be more tolerant and could realize that pleasures are not all sins. If those who have a tendency to be lax in their conduct could meet them halfway and acknowledge that their desires are not always good nor right, the world would be happier and better. 500 BIZ.

BERNET It is generally believed John J. Bernet, president of present Nickel Plate lines in 1915, will become head of the great Nickel Plate system, at the building under the mass guidance of the Van Swen brothers of Cleveland, Ohio. Bernet was summoned from vice-presidency of the New Central lines eight years ago and head the Nickel Plate lines as given full credit for the development of that road genius and the speeding up of its ice, freight and passenger. Bernet came up through New York Central organization what has been called "the Smith school of railway exec—admittedly the best in world." His tryout as telegrapher in October, 1889, and in 1890 became dispatcher at Buffalo, 1901 trainmaster of the east division. After that pronounced was rapid. By 1903 he was assistant superintendent of the eastern division, 1905 division superintendent, then to Cleveland same year as assistant general perintendent of the western division, 1905; general superintendent finally to Chicago as assistant vice-president, and in 1914 president. In a curious way his career rallies that of the new preside of the Central, P. E.

DINNER STORIES A street preacher in a Scottish town called a passing policeman and complained of being annoyed by a certain portion of his audience. He asked to have the objectionable persons removed. "Well, ye see," said the officer thoughtfully. "It would be deeffituit for me to spot them; but I tell ye what I'd dae if I were you."

SAYS HUNGARIAN DIPLOMAT-AUTHOR "Now that the Dawes plan has been sanctioned by the vote of the German Reichstag, the world has become imbued with the idea that at last the magic formula is found that will eventually save Europe and the world for peace. Let us be careful in order that the wish should not remain the father of the thought," said Ernest Ludwig, former member of the Austro-Hungarian and Hungarian foreign service, and an author of note, in "No doubt peace would and should also mean a general recovery of business and a brighter outlook for export trade. But this result in itself does not yet mean peace. Peace means the harmony of souls—a state of mind which is generally missing in all former warring countries of Europe today and which eliminates the grounds for new conflicts. The great, perhaps tragic mistake of the Paris Peace Conference is that it created a League of Nations to perpetuate the conditions of the peace treaties before it actually accomplished peace. Other Things Necessary "There are other things necessary for Central Europe besides the Dawes plan or the international loans that have been floated in favor of Austria and Hungary under the auspices of the League of Nations and with the aid of American and English capital. Jeremiah Smith is no doubt an excellent general commissioner in Hungary—this is what all Hungarians believe, and they ought to know—but this loan of $50,000 is, after all, a mere stopgap at its very best. It does not mean peace for Hungary. Don't let us get away with the idea that it does." Hungary has probably been the greatest loser of the war.

Keynes, noted economist) practically supported the German plea in stating About the best lon for floors is old-fashioned. But haven't we had too free and easy connection?

It does not mean peace for Hungary. Don't let us get away with the idea that it does. Hungary has probably been the greatest loser of the war. At the time when the Silesian conflict was uppermost in everybody's mind Mr. Keynes, (J. M. Keynes, noted economist) practically supported the German plea in stating that unless the Upper Silesian coal mines were assigned to Germany she could not keep up her coal deliveries to France of 2.,000,000 tons a month, and was generally rendered impotent to meet the separation demands on her. In Hungary's case, for instance, these considerations seem to have been completely overlooked. Hungary lost two-thirds of her former territory with practically all her iron ore deposits, salt mines, timber, oil or rather natural gas fields; the major part of her coal mines, etc. Germany can exist without Upper Silesia; handleappied with her losses, Hungary cannot. Majority Dissatisfied Of about 12,000,000 to 15,000,000 inhabitants which Hungary was deprived of by virtue of the Trianon Treaty according to a conservative estimate, more than any other belligerent) about 9,000,000 to 10,000,000 are thoroughly dissatisfied with the change and can be safely counted among the irreducents. The question is: Can such a situation be of a permanent character? Is it wise to have it perpetuated by the League of Nations? Can the Dawes plan overcome this difficulty? If not, what SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1924 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying AIR DEFENSES RECEIVE ATTENTION—Santa Barbara News More money for air fleet, less for battleships—is said in the Washington dispatches to be the defense program favored by President Coolidge. It was to consult Secretary Wilbur on this program that the President summoned the cabinet member back to Washington, putting an end to an inspection trip which was still far from finished. This is not the first indication that the day of the giant battleship is nearing its close but it is clear proof that the President has at last become convinced that the neglected air defenses of the country must be brought up to a standard somewhat near an equality with those of other powers. Since the close of the war, comparatively little attention has been given to the aviation branch of the army and navy. Until the round world flight of the army planes focused the interest of the civilized world on the possibilities of aerial navigation the official attitude of the government was that the air service could get along with the leavings of the other military branches of the government. In spite of tests which demonstrate that a few airplanes armed with giant bombs could destroy a dreadnaught of the sea costing millions, the naval men planned their faith to the battleship. They asserted that the first line of defense, now as always, must be the heavily armored navy craft. Neither submarine or aeroplane were given much consideration. Apparently we are learning, even if slowly. The old is giving way to the new. The lessons learned in the daring flight of Lieut. Smith and his companions are bearing fruit. The enormously costly battleship is not a thing of the past. For years to come it will be a vital element in the defense of the commerce and the coasts of the country. But the air defenses at last are to receive their due consideration, which is a good thing. THE ONLY WAY TO BE HAPPY The foremost rule for the wise conduct of life appears to be contained in a view to which Aristotle parenthetically refers (in the Nichomachean Ethics): "Not pleasure, but freedom from pain is what the wise man will aim at." The truth of this remark, it seems to Arthur Schopenhauer turns upon the negative character of happiness—the fact that pleasure is only the negation of pain, and that pain is the positive element in life. "Suppose that (Schopenhauer illustrates), with the exception of some sore or painful shot, we are in a physically sound state." THE ONLY WAY TO BE HAPPY The foremost rule for the wise conduct of life appears to be contained in a view to which Aristotle parenthetically refers (in the Nichomachean Ethics): "Not pleasure, but freedom from pain is what the wise man will aim at. The truth of this remark, it seems to Arthur Schopenhauer turns upon the negative character of happiness—the fact that pleasure is only the negation of pain, and that pain is the positive element in life. "Suppose that (Schopenhauer illustrates), with the exception of some sore or painful spot, we are in a physically sound and healthy condition; the pain of this one spot will completely absorb our attention, causing us to lose the sense of general well-being, and destroying all our comfort in life. In the same way, when all our affairs but one turn out as we wish, the single instance in which our aims are frustrated is a constant trouble to us; even though it be something quite trivial. We think a great deal about it, and very little about those other and more important matters in which we have been successful." In both these cases cited by Schopenhauer, what has met with resistance is the will; in the one case it is objectified in the organism, in the other, as it represents itself in the struggle of life; and in both, it is plain that the satisfaction of the will consists in nothing else than that it meets with no resistance. It is, therefore, as he points out, a satisfaction which is not directly felt; at most, we can become conscious of it only when we reflect upon our condition. But that which checks or arrests the will is something positive; it preclaims its own presence. All pleasure consists in merely removing this check—in other words, in freeing us from its action; and hence pleasure is a state which can never last very long. It would seem then that the happiest lot is not to have experienced the keenest delights or the greatest plasures, but to have brought life to a close without any great pain, bodily or mental. For pleasures are and remain something negative; that they produce happiness is a delusion; cherished by envy to its own punishment. Pain is felt to be something positive, and hence its absence is the true standard of happiness. Announcing the WINNERS in the Star Car Slogan Contest "Tomorrow's Car Today" Is the unanimous first choice of the jury of awards. The winning slogan, "Tomorrow's Car Today," was suggested by George L. Hammond, East 2919 Thirty-fourth Avenue, Spokane, Washington, and by Evo DeConcini, 1301 East Speedway, Tucson, Arizona. Each as an individual entry in the contest. Today" Is the unanimous first choice of the jury of awards. The winning slogan, "Tomorrow's Car Today," was suggested by George L. Hammond, East 2919 Thirty-fourth Avenue, Spokane, Washington, and by Evo DeConcini, 1301 East Speedway, Tucson, Arizona. Each as an individual entry in the contest. As both suggested the same slogan, in the judgment of the jury both are entitled to and were awarded a Special Sport Star Touring Car. The double first award eliminates the second prize, and the third prize of Fifty Dollars in Gold is awarded to Clarence W. Cooke, Hotel Portland, Portland, Oregon, who suggested the slogan, "Successful from the Start." "Tomorrow's Car Today," the winning slogan, expresses the advanced engineering features of the New Star Car. The New Star Car is so far in advance of its competitors that there is really no comparison. As an example, today the Star Car offers as one of its many exclusive features a smooth, easy-working Disc Clutch. No other car in its class has a Disc Clutch today. The executives of the Star Motor Company of California and the jury of awards take this means of extending their thanks to the entrants in the contest for their interest and enthusiasm. 250,000 slogans were carefully examined and checked, and the task of picking the winner was not an easy one. The winners may well feel proud in their distinction. But, in justice to those who did not win, the decisions were close, very close, between many contestants.
