In Deleware Bay, near Cape May, the first seadrome is now nearing completion, according to Paul W White, in The American Magazine. Within a few months the structure will be towed to a point between the United States and Bermuda and an chored there, making a stop for planes almost half way between the mainland and the islands. The first seadrome will be approximately 395 miles south and east of New York. The island will be known as "Lang- ley." Edward R. Armstrong, engineer in charge of construction, declares in White's interview that artifiicial Is lands are no longer experiments of doubtful value and that by June or July, the first one will be in oper ation. Armstrong and his associates have cone into the construction of sea dromes on a purely commercial basis and they expect to operate them in conjunction with air lines of their own, reducing the time of travel be tween New York and Hamilton from 47 hours sailing times to 6 hours, 3 minutes of flying time.

Daly( of Harvard :o:- A Massachusetts Congressman told London reporters he had roamed the world in search of happiness and failed to find it. Same old story, jazz bands everywhere. :o: Stranger things have happened and in 10 years from now it may make a girl feel devilish to hold her skirt high enough to permit a glimpse of her shapely calf. :o: The old-fashioned woman who never would take off ner wedding ring, now has a daughter who thinks its smart to take it off every so often to put another one on. :o: You never can tell how a chapels going to turn out in this world.

It will contain a hotel, machine shops and fueling facilities. The hotel will need a personnel of 20 or more and more than 30 people will constitute the permanent crew of the island The fare to Bermuda by plane is ex pected to be fixed at $150 for the round trip, and Armstrong estimates that under full operation, the air ser vice and the seadrome combination should earn nearly $2,000,000 a year If the Langley experiment works as expected,N the ultimate plan of the Armstrong group is to establish a nine-stoD route from New York to Brest. Eight seadromes would pro vide stooping places and the other would be at Flores in the Azores Then would follow the establishment of the other lines, some of the sea dromes serving as junction points. The confidence of business men in the success ot the plan is shown by the fact that S2, 500, 000 was in vested in the project before it had Droeressed beyond being a set of plans. The seadrome now under con struction, alone will cost about $1, 700,000. The Langley affords a platform 1, 100 feet long for landing, with a width of 340 feet in th center and 180 feet at the tapering ends. The whole structure will weigh 28,000 tons and will be held in place by an Improved anchorage system in 12, 000 feet of water. The whole island is steadied by 32 "legs" which will be fastened to ballast tanks loaded with iron ore. The whole structure will be 250 feet high and will pro trude 80 feet above the water line. This business of Senator Bingham who put a representative of the Con necticut Manufacturers' Association on the government payroll while the tariff bill was being framed, deserves some rather extended consideration. It involves the whole question Whom is a Senator supposed to serve? When the tariff schedules were to be written Senator Bingham, who had an important place on the com mittee, hired a manufacturers' agent as his secretary. This man, Charles Eyanson, helped Senator Bingham write the schedules and, apparent ly, also tipped off the Connecticut manufacturers about what was being done. Bingham defended the act, say ing that eince the Connecticut manu facturers were his constituents it was his duty to consult them in re gard to the tariff bill, as they had J right to expect him to get them what they wanted. That, we repeat, simply raises the question to whom, precisely, does a senator owe allegiance 7 Any Senator represents the people in his own state all the people. The industrialists who live in his state are his constituents, of course; but so are the countless lesser folks, who can be classed as consumers. To assume that in writing a tariff bill a Senator is performing his whole duty merely by asking his manufac turers what rates they would like is to assume that the wishes of this later, larger class the consumers are of no importance. A tariff, with its effect on living costs and economic conditions, is a complicated matter. There are two side to it. A manufacturers' asso ciation, inevitably, can see but one side. When Senator Bingham put The island thus will not be subject Eyanson to work he simpiy made it certain that the people of Connecticut n Facts just obtained from 28 representative American cities indicate conclusively that the motoring public prefers the Eight to all other engine types. Take Omaha as an example: For the first eight months of 1929, new cars with list prices above $1009 showed a 33 per cent increase in Eights and a 21 per cent decrease in Sixes! At the famous Paris Salon this fall, 44 makes of eight cylinder cars were exhibitcdjComparedwith 2 7lastyear.

They may change director with the wind, but must not have the side-to-side motion of ships, Beam wireless will enable planes to locate the seadrome from a great distance in any kind of weather and full illumination in clear weather will make it visible for miles.

There is even more to it than that Beside the duty he owes his own constituents, a Senator owes a duty to the nation as a whole. He is not only the representative of a certain state; he is one of the lawmakers for the entire nation.

Quite apart from the glamorous gen erosity of the act Mr. Rosenwald has set an example which business may well consider from the solely prac tical stand point of sound policy. If many of our great Industrial execu tives bad made similar announce ments after the first crash it may be doubted that the second scene of hysterical selling had occurred. The latest estimated places the loss in quoted value at $25,000,000. The sum is beyond imagination, nor can anyone conceive the personal trag edy embodied in the calculation. What is apparent is that the coun try's consuming capacity the peo ple's ability to pay has been ser iously impaired. A considerable per iod must elapse before our buying ca- pacity fully recovers, during which business as a whole must in evitably slowed down. Mr. Rosenwald has de vised a preventive medicine for pan ics which business is likely to adopt in the event of another emergency. . :o: Tariff lobbyist would put gag on ahead and write laws or parts of laws, at least that would affect the welfare of all the people in the Unit ed States.

WHO'S WHO? Senator Moses has Joined his col leagues. Senators Reed, Metcalf, Hackett and FeBS. in the dance of death around the tariff bill. His per formance was dull. He tried to in vest the occasion with a tragic dig nity. He quoted from "The Ballad of Reading Goal" wherein the brave man kills the thing he loves with a sword. That was to be his weapon. A stagy stunt. The New Hampshire wasp has lost his stinger. . But in designating himself and as sociates as the "administration sen ators" Mr. Moses assumed a status which may be challenged. Anyhow, the public would like to have the point clarified. Who are the "admin istration Senators" in this tariff fight? Are the regular Republicans who have disregarded the President's recommendation for "limited re vision" the "administration Sen ators?" Are Grundy and Eyanson "administration Senators" by proxy? Are the men who propose to swindle the farmers by selling him dimes for dollars "administration Senators?" A great many people believe that Senators Borah, Blaine, Brookhart, Capper men like them who cor rectly assert that the special session was called in the interest of the farmer, that the tariff was to be re vised to help put agriculture on a parity with industry, who declare that this was the party's and the candidate's campaign promise and in sists that the promise be kept a great many people believe that those men are in the "administration Sen ators." A word from Mr. Hoover will settle the argument as to who's who. :o: Road the Journal Want Ads and ORDER OP HEARING Notice on Petition for Set tlement of Account In the County Court of Cass coun ty, Nebraska.
