To the crew of the Bremen, to Francesco de Plnedo of Italy, and to Costes and Lebrlx of France, will be presented the Distinguished Flying Cross, America's highest aviation award. All the men thus honored have flown between Europe and America, although over different courses, says the Philadelphia Ledger, In bestowing medals upon them the United States not only pays & deserved tribute' to brave and skillful flyers but returns those gracious courtesies with which the nations of Europe honored our own transatlantic pilots. Radio Is to be creditedwith another good mark--this time In the field of medicine--If anything comes of the report from Princeton of the effects of short-wave broadcasting apparatus upon men working in its immediate vicinity. Two scientists, Prof. W. T. Richards, of the Princeton chemistry department, and Dr. A. E. Loomis, of the Loomis laboratory, Tuxedo Park, N. noticing how the broadcasting apparatus raised the temperature of the blood of workers near It, believe they have discovered something very valuable for the curative treatment of paresis. The proposed remedy for this disease rests upon the theory that high temperature may be locally induced upon the skin with the new apparatus. If such proves to be the case certain diseases whose bacilli are unable to live at a temperature which the body will withstand may be successfully treated. Badio fans can easily guess what happened when King George visited the British Industries fair and remarked, in the radio section, that when he tries for Paris or Berlin he always gets London. And it did happen, says the Baltimore Sun. A salesman promptly offered him a receiving set which would shut out the local waves. Salesmen are the same, no matter what their nation. And It is also to be noted that King George said be often tries for Paris and Berlin, "especially when they are broadcasting something I particularly want to hear." That is, he tries at other times just for luck. Radio fans, too, are the came,, no matter what their station. 1 The majority of workers In this country are profoundly Ignorant of the laws of diet They do not, in a literal sense, know what is good for them, says the London Times. Too often, therefore, they take the line of least resistance. Foods which require no cooking, or which can be cooked without difficulty, are preferred to foods which demand careful preparation. The "square meal"--and by that term is usually meant a large quantity of meat or flesh food--is regarded as the Ideal. In fact, "squareness" In a meal is more often a vice than a virtue. It is always a vice, as Sir Geoage Newman indicated, when it Is supplied to sedentary workers, w&o take little or no exercise.

I M17.H mm« ten Something new in Radios--Gome in and hear thi« wonderful receiver Those who have listened to it declare it to bo the last word in radio reception. none 48 Riverside Drive Jt Washington.--Plans for collecting millions of old letters, diaries, statistical and other original documents calculated to shed light on southern history were outlined here by Dr. Joseph Gregoire de Roulhac Hamilton, professor of history at the University of North Carolina, speaking under the auspices of the local chapter of the alumnae of that state's college for women. The collection has been started on a small scale, but It is to be broadened now that preparations have been made to provide a fireproof structure for the State university at Chapel Hill, N. C„ In which to preserve the data. Doctor Hamilton raid that the material would . be available to historians or other research workers Interested In learning actual social, economic and other basic conditions connected with the settlement and development of the South. The plans contemplate a collection throwing light upon the past and present of the states of Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri and Tens. To Ransack Through Garrets. Material will be sought not only in old garrets, closets, trunks and cellars in those states but from Southerners who have moved elsewhere and who have such letters and documents. Where material is given by, or concerning, those ,now living it will be sealed and not thrown open to Inspection until such time as may be designated by the donors. Doctor Hamilton emphasized the argent need of rescuing such papers' now from the danger of fire, rats* and pther causes of destruction. In recent months Doctor Hamilton has rummaged in several attics in North Carolina for letters which the owners thought useless. Some of the communications found are considerably more than 100 years old. In many Instances he. discovered that letters had been burned to get them out of the way. At one farmhouse he ran across t batch of love letters written in the early '80s, which the owner said would be of no Interest to anyone. Picking up one letter at random, Doctor Hamilton discovered tl^it It was from a young man whp had gone to Tennessee and later to Mississippi. It gave a minute description of the country and social conditions when he arrived. Southern Diarlea FoundL At Fayett.evllle, N. C., Doctor Hamilton saw a box of yellowed documents, some of them relating to business matters of a century and a half ago. Again he was told that there was nothing of importance In the collection. He picked up another letter at random. It was from a pioneer seeking information about a water wheel desired for his plantation. That communication was a valuable sidelight, Doctor Hamilton said, on an economic condition respecting farm machinery prevailing at the time, and would prove of great valu* in constructing the true story of early efforts to Improve production. He said that he had discovered that many Southerners, from the earliest days, kept diaries after the fashion of New Englanders and that these contained pictures of living conditions not yet clearly depicted in history. One diary he found ran from 1866 to 1918. He added that Southerners generally had been more careless than New Englanders or Westerners in keeping their old records and that not until recent years had .attempts been made to feathers-arid preserve them for their valtie in studying both southern and national history. Calls Situation Unfortunate. "The whole situation," he said. 'Is unfortunate. The time is ripe to remedy It so far as possible by the establishment of a great library of southern historical material, or to express It, perhaps, more accurately, of Southern human records. « "With the completion of plans for Its new and permanent library building, authorized by the last legislature, the University of North Carolina, In pursuance of a plan it has contemplated for many years. Is now undertaking the establishment of such a collection and beginning ae> tive prosecution of that work." The North Carolina material already includes 40,000 bound volumes and pamphlets. These relate also to fcarly affairs in Virginia, South Car Olina, Tennessee and Georgia. In addition, there are many newspaper clippings that have been classified As new material is received It will t>e filed and catalogued and made readily accessible to' the historical Student. r- f "The southern collection, as planned," said Doctor Hamilton, "will Include, so far as possible today, ev .fry book or pamphlet of any kind on Any subject Written in the South or by a Southerner, every one which deals in any way with the southern states, their people or their problems. Many Kinds of Material. _ "It will contain state publications 4>f every sort, general historical prorks, monographs, biographies, } town, county and other local histories, genealogical works, essays, poetry, fiction, sermons, files of periodicals, statistics, maps, broadsides, the catalogues, minutes, proceedings find reports of educational bodies and Institutions, fraternal orders, commercial, professional, philanthropic, religious, social, patriotic and scientific organizations, as complete files %t southern newspapers as can be secured and files of papers from other t sections which carry southern jna- "Aor win it he confined to printed material. It will include great masses of manuscript material, such as diaries, unpublished reminiscences or other autobiographical writings, letters of fevery description, plantation records, and the ledgers and other records of industrial and business undertakings. "It will contain not only papers and letters of prominent individuals and families, but all kinds of records which reveal the life and thought of the masses of the people." Doctor Hamilton said that this material would show hitherto unknown facts in economical, social, religious, scientific and political fields. He predicted that the South within fifty years would be the scene of a "tremendous economic and social development" and that the matter to be gathered would enable It in the immediate future to "wisely chart its couree." The plant contemplate sending investigators through several states on a house to-house canvass to collect aH Available documents up to at least as late a period as 1880 or ia6&-; /• Indians Won't Sing Night Song During Day Paris.--The Indians of India and the Indians of the United States have much in common in their music, says Leopold Stokowski, conductoi of the Philadelphia orchestra. Mr. Stokowski recently returned to the Western world after six months In the Orient and the Near East. "Last year," Mr. Stokowski said, "I made my first trip into the American Far West, studied the Indians and their music and dances and talked to as many of them as possible. In India last winter I did the same, avoiding white men in order to be with the natives and try to understand them and learn from them. "The music of the American redskin and the Hindu are both affected greatly by the position of the sun. They have songs for the sunrise, for the afternoon, for twilight and for night-time, and it Is impossible to get them to sing a sunrise song in the afternoon. I remember having heard a beautiful song near Taos, N. M., one night, and the next day I asked the Indian singer to repeat It for me. M 'Not now,' he said, that was moon music.' "And in India a Hindu whom I asked to repeat a melody I had heard at dawn told me he wouldn't sing It at the time I asked, explaining that it was 'sunrise music."* i "This is going to be something new?* said the Maryland kidnaper of a D< nnrtment of Agriculture pctentlst, frnd just thyo the victim landed on his ja^ and he lound that he was speaking the truth. Chinese are proverbially honest in business. They employ the stratagems of warfare, however, refusing to allow business to interfere with what appears to be regarded more or less as a national sport. Storing poison gas resembles the enterprise of the gentleman who insisted on trying to make a pet of a rattlesnake. Bare-headed young men are numerous and common enough, but where are all the old-fashioned barefoot boys? A firm is advertising imitation gas that sells at half price. What's the use--we can buy It at full price. The season's bathing salts begin at nowhere and end there. Plaindealer Publicity Pays.
