Today He Saved Loratelli. Old Chicago Will I)o. “No Bunk” Says Dawet. Rockefeller in Asia. By ARTHUR BRISBANE' v__/ A signal man, Willis Pinkston, on board the United States fight ing ship Richmond, was up on the steel tower in the night. It was his business to see everything and, attending to his business, he re ported a faint glimmer of light far away. The ship, changing her course, picked up the plucky Italian flier, Locatelli. It was his “flare” that signalled Pinkston. Pinkston has been publicly com mended by Captain Cotten of thtf Richmond, and that is good as far as it goes, but it doesn’t go far enough. This writer will contribute $100 to start a fund that would express more substantially public appreciation of Signalman Pink ston’s good eyesight. Many Amer icans of Italian blood and others might like to contribute to such a fund. Perhaps the Italian language newspapers will promote it, and the Italian embassy receive contribu tions. Much money would be needed to represent the value of a life such as that of the brave Ital ian flyer. Dr. Melammed of Chicago says the Jewish committee of the Zionist movement will build in Palestine a city to be named Chicago, and built in five years. An interesting enterprise, it will be welcomed by many unable to come to the United States. An imitation of Chicago is better than na Chicago: But fortunately a great majority of America’s able, constructive, Jewish citizenship will prefer, to any other, the real, original Chi cago, that will stretch one day from Gary to Milwaukee—quite jyobably with Milwaukee as the copter—connected by water with aR the oceans, and with Palestine by flying machines. The adver tisements will read, “Hourly trips to Jerusalem on the hour. Land there tonight, back to Chicago next day.” General Dawes yesterday cele brated his 59th birthday. We moderns call that “young,” which shows that the human race is gain ing intelligence. Not so long ago a man at 59 was “gray"-bearded, and his joints were stiff, his feet dragged. A few generations back, one of the biggest cities in France did not have among all its in habitants one man or woman as old as 65. The “good old days” when “sewers” ran through open gut ters, the cemeteries with all their disease were on the hills, and the wells in the valleys, life was not long. Fortunately, the people then drank little water, or they would all have died. Another horrible disease springs up in the east—in Japan this time, worse than earthquakes. What it is nobody knows. Something like flpinal meningitis has killed 900 in a few weeks. Of 100 attacked 65 die. That is almost as bad as the black plague. Japanese scientists <V»nnot identify the disease nor find its cause. John D. Rockefeller has some of W3 millions at work, in the hands of able scientists in China and in Jjpan. He will help in this crisis •pa perhaps keep the disease from Jisiting us here, as the Spanish in uenza came, not from Spain, but from Asia. This column, too lightly, com pared Moses’ 40-year trip across the desert with the four-hour rnp of a small American automo bile, and the one and one-half-hour trip of a flying machine, across the same desert. Many writers send learned com ment. Hyman Bodner of Passaic, N. J., says: “You needn’t wait to get In formation from Moses in heaven. He kept the children of Israel, in the desert, for 40 years, because they were not qualified to conquer the Promised Land. They practic ally all died. The new generation, educated and drilled, led by Huslma, won their Promised Land by fighting.” Max Himoff of Long Island City, writer, said that Moses had to let his old followers die off while he raised a new generation, “who knew nothing about Egypt, and prepared them for their task.” Can anybody give more exact-in formation about the fighting leader. Huslma. George Bernard Shaw, who puts things “differently,” says “Ameri can films are reeking with moral ity,” not “immorality,” Mr. Printer, please, but morality. He says, “The movie has supplanted the old-fashioned tract and Sunday school prize.” Shaw’s article in the Fortnightly Review criticizing and instructing American movie producers, an nounces that Shaw may consider writing scenarios himself. “But it’s rather like asking a Titian to paint portraits in black and white,” says he. As a matter of fact, before Ti tian died of the plague at 90, with eyesight failing, and color sense waning, he did produce pictures in “black and white”—and good ones (CnpyrlKhl. 1924) Aurora C. of C. for Municipal Light Plant klieelul ItlKlditrll l<( The OlKHllu lire.
