PACIFIC FLEET TO TAKE LONG CRUISE The Pacific Fleet is going to cruise across the Pacific as far as Samoa, Australia and New Zealand. The journey will run about 20,000 miles. The scouting fleet of the Atlantic portion of the navy also will go along. Extensive war maneuvers will be conducted—one before the fleets leave, involving attack and defense of the coast of California; the other involving attack and defense of Hawaii. The momentous cruise will begin next April. It is the acme of wisdom to keep American naval forces in Pacific waters in good fighting trim. Frequent maneuvers working out battle problems; frequent cruisings into strategically important waters of the Pacific—these movements will add to the potential war efficiency of the fleet. These maneuverings are not made in war-like spirit. They are precautionary only. They are in the line of preparedness to defend this country successfully should it be attacked. It is realized by every observant American that, should this country be attacked at all, it would be from this Pacific side. Hence it behooves "the powers that be," at Washington, to provide the amplest defense possible. The dirigible is an experiment yet. It has its way to make in the world—or above the world.

It has its way to make in the world—or above the world. AIR MAIL FOSTERED BY MANY INTERESTS Value of air mail to the country is appreciated by commercial, business, industrial and civic organizations all over the United States. These alert, progressive bodies are doing all possible to promote use of air mail and to strengthen this service. It is by extensive patronage that the air mail will develop swiftly. The greater the volume of air mail, the sooner will come reduction of postage by air. Swift aerial postal service will be a great boon to business and industry. It will be of great service to the masses of the people in diverse ways. It oftentimes means a great deal, in the experience of the average person, to have mail go swiftly to its destination. Big personal interests hang upon swift mail communications, at times. Consequently, it is to the interest of every individual to assist in developing and sustaining air mail.

WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS SIR PATRICK HASTINGS Sir Patrick Hastings, K.C., the attorney general in the Labor government of England, is the man ever whose action in the case of James R. Campbell, Communist editor, the storm broke which resulted in MacDonald's fall. Speaking in the House during debate on the vote of censure against the Labor government, Sir Patrick declared that he regarded the vote as directed at him, its defense was that until the commons began to investigate the case he had considered it of minor importance; but that he had found that Campbell had a good war record, was wounded and decorated, and was now temporary editor of "Workers Weekly." Born in 1880 and educated at charterhouse, Sir Patrick follow the profession of mining engineer from 1893 to 1899. Subsequently he served in the South African war. In 1902 he turned journalism, issuing numerous publications and in 1904 he was led to the bar. It was not until 1919 that he was appointed counsel to the ing. ABE MARTIN TOMORROW?

The wonder is that old-fashioned tables lasted so long without wads of chewing gum to hold them together. Friends are people who offer you sympathy in exchange for the sordid details. The league may meddle with all domestic matters except the little matter of unpaid loans. Many old-timers went west on a galloon; some moderns go west on less than a pint. It doesn't follow that a man is standing for the right because he won't stand for the extreme left. The real charge against Christianity is not that it is old-fashioned, but that it cramps man's style. The destructive instinct persists. The old-fashioned girl broke hearts; the modern girl breaks records.

AIR Beats Electric or Gas A new oil lamp that gives an amazingly brilliant, soft, white light, even better than gas or electricity, has been tested by the U.S. government, and 35 leading universities and found to be superior to 10 ordinary oil lamps. It burns without odor, smoke or noise—no pumping up; is simple, clean, safe. Burns 94% air and 6% common kerosene (coal oil). The inventor, W. A. Johnson, 161 North Union Ave., Portland, Ore., is offering to send a lamp on 10 days FREE trial, or even to give one FREE to the first user in each locality who will help him introduce it.

EAGLE MIKADO The YELLOW PENCIL with the RED BAND EAGLE PENCIL CO. NEW YORK U.S.A. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1924 THE BEST OF ADVICE WHY WE NEED ART We hear much of art. What is art? John Galsworthy says art is that imaginative expression of human energy, which, through technical concretion of feeling and perception, tends to reconcile the individual with the universal, by exciting in him impersonal emotion. "And the greatest art," he says, "is that which excites the greatest impersonal emotion in an hypothetical perfect human being." Impersonal emotion. What does he mean by that? "That is not art, which, while I am contemplating it, inspires me with any active or directive impulse; that is art, when, for however brief a moment, it replaces in me interest in myself by interest in itself." The distinction is made more clear by an illustration given by Galsworthy. "Let me suppose myself in the presence of a carved marble bath. If my thoughts be: 'What could I buy that for?' Impulse of acquisition; or: 'What quarry did it come from?' Impulse of inquiry; or: 'Which would be the right end for my head.' Mixed impulse of inquiry and acquisition—I am at the moment insensible to it as a work of art. But, if I stand before it vibrating at sight of its color and forms, if ever so little and for ever so short a time, unhaunted by any definite practical thought or impulse—to that extent and for that moment it has stolen me away out of myself and put itself there instead: has linked me to the universal by making me forget the individual in me. And for that moment, and only while that moment lasts, it is to me a work of COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying VISIONS AND REALITIES—Kennebec Journal Many of us remember the venerable Elijah Kellogg; many of us recall with delight the adventures which his fertile imagination so graphically described for his youthful readers. A wonderful vision he had, and, with it he contributed much to the edification of life, yet it may be doubted whether its scope ever included the sight of great man-built birds flying over his beloved Harpswell, on their return from girdling this old earth, and coming to rest in the shelter of Casco Bay. Many of us have thrilled over the exploits of Peary, son of Maine. Some of us have heard of his boyish vision; how, when with his college companions from Bowdoin he was camping on Haskell's Island in Casco Bay, he was found by them looking across to Eagle Island; and how he exclaimed: "Some day I will own that island." His prophecy came true forty years later. Yet his far-looking mind could not picture airplanes emerging from the fog and like huge birds coming to rest on the waters which he loved, just five months to a day from the time they left their country’s soil, flying into the beckoning west and around the globe. He may have dreamed that some day men would navigate the air to the goal that he had set for his ambition, and which later he reached, only by long, arduous, terrible toll in sledge and on foot, but surely this scene of Lieutenant Smith and his companions arriving at Mere Point from doing battle with Arctic ice floes and fog were not part of the dream. The truth is ever stranger than fictional, and fact of one generation ontribs the fancy of its predecessors. GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE THE "POINT OF WISDOM" All learners, all inquiring minds of every order, are gathered around History's footstool, reverently pondering her lessons, as the true basis of wisdom. Poetry, Divinity, Politics, Physics, have each their adherents and adversaries; each little guild supporting a defensive and offensive war for its own special domain, as Thomas Carley put it; while the domain of History is as a Free Emporium, where all these bearerpts peaceably meet and furnish themselves; and Sentimentalist and Utilitarian, Sceptic and Theologian, with one voice advise us: Examine History, for it is "Philosophy teaching by Experience." But is History "Philosophy teaching by Experience?" Far be it from us to disparage such teaching," says Carlyle, "the very attempt at which must be precious. Neither shall we too rigidly inquire: How much it has hitherto profited? Whether most of what little practical wisdom men have, has come from study of professed History, or from other less boasted sources, whereby, as matters now stand, a Marlborough may become great in the world’s business, with no History save what he deeds from Shakespeare’s plays? Nay, whether in that same teaching by Experience, history pulse of inquiry and acquisition—I am at the moment insensible to it as a work of art. "But, if I stand before it vibrating at sight of its color and forms, if ever so little and for ever so short a time, unhaunted by any definite practical thought or impulse—to that extent and for that moment it has stolen me away out of myself and put itself there instead: has linked me to the universal by making me forget the individual in me. And for that moment, and only while that moment lasts, it is to me a work of art." The word "impersonal," then, is used in the definition to signify momentary forgetfulness of one's own personality and its active wants. Art, it seems to Galsworthy, is the one form of human energy in the whole world which really works for union, and destroys the barriers between man and man. "It is the continual, unconscious replacement, however fleeting, or oneself by another; the real cement of human life the everlasting refreshment and renewal. "For, what is grievous, dompting, grim, about our lives is that we are shut up within ourselves, with an itch to get outside ourselves. "And, to be stolen away from ourselves by art is a momentary relaxation from that itching, a minute's profound, and as it were secret, enfranchisement. "The active amusement and relaxations of life can only rest certain of our faculties, by induging others; the whole self is never rested gave through that unconsciousness of self, which comes through rapt contemplation of Nature or of art." The Nathaniel Hawthorne were very poor in their early married life at Concord. They could not afford to keep a servant and divided the housework between them. Maud Elliott Howe, in "Three Generations," relates that one day Mrs. Hawthorne, happening to be near the pantry where her husband was doing his share of the morning's work, heard him exclaim as he threw down the knife he had been cleaning.
