Swampscott, Mass. Establishment
of a bureau of air navigation in the de

ident Coolidgo Monday by Senator
Bingham, republican, of Connecticut.
Senator Bingham has pust complet
ed an inspection trip of air stations
on the Pacific coast and in Alaska and
he declares that it is time for the gov
ernment to aid in the development of
aviation. He frowned upon a request
for use of the airship Los Angeles in
transcontinental commercial aviation.
Because of its limited speed, he said,
the Los Angeles could not compete
successfully with express trains,
whereas it might be successful in
transportation over water. He sug
gested that this airship be used be
tween Honolulu and the Pacific coast
as an experiment in commercial work.
In the plan he will propose to the
next congress Senator Bingham would
nave the department of commerce es
tablish lighthouses on land for the
guidance of airplanes, and he would
set up a government inspection serv
ice for all commercial airplanes.
Senator Bingham reported that the

suggestion and was anxious that the

commercial aviation by every means
possible except through direct subsidy.

000,000. Construction will commence within
three months upon the first plant, to

Mr. Kolberg said that the enterprise
had ample financial backing from in

stock for sale, but that there would
be a bond issue before construction

1PHO SAID
"The multitude is al
ways in the wrong."
XXTHKH Wentworth Dillon, fourtl
earl of Roscommon, uttered thesi
words, he well knew and appreciate
the limited ability of a multitude oi
mob to make an accurate Judgment
He lived at the time Charles 11 was ll
power in Englund, and he saw tin
multitude llrst acclaim royalty, in thi
person of Charles' father, then de
pounce It and execute their king, t
welcome the regime of Oliver Crom
Well. And, finally, he saw the multl
tude turn again to royalty and outdt
Itself In an attempt to show their af
fectlon for the new monarch, Charlei
H.
Roscommon, as he Is best known
was one of the fuvorltes at the court
of diaries II, where Ills' learning au(
brilliant conversational powers wo:
him many staunch friends among tin
trebles. If Is a rather strange thinj
that this man who was such a l'rlent
of the king should at the sutne tinu
have been described ns "the only mora;
writer" during the reign of Charles.
The reign of this monarch was noted
for the dissoluteness and licentious
ness of those In control, nnd how 11
happened that a mam of Roscommon'!
character, writing as he did, did not
offend some of the dissolute courtiers
If not the king himself, Is not known
The fact remains, however, that hi
continued la the good graces of th
king and his court until death.
Roscommon Is known as a mlnot
poet. He has left little to accord hint
a high place among the writers of his
land, and yet many of his sayings and
bits of philosophy, such as that quoted
above, have been handed down througfc
the years. He was born In 1033 and
died In 1085.
Little of Hie work of Rosfommon
bus survived. His two best-known ef
forts, probably, are an "Essay on tin
Translation of Verse" nnd a "Trans
latlon of Horace's Art of Poetry."

J-XpTABLES
IS IT MILTON?
'"pin; American MUtons have the sat-
Isfactlon of believing that they are
collateral descendants of John Milton,
the Immortal author of "Paradise
Lost." At least such may be their
claim if they are descended from the
Milton family early established at
Halifax, N. C.
The tradition Is that the ancestor of
these Miltons was Judge Christopher
Milton, a brother of the poet A de
scendant of his was John Milton, who
was born in England and came to the
United States In 1734. settling In North
Carolina.
Ills son. John Milton, born In Hull
fax county, North Carolina, in 1740,
was secretary of state of GeorglH after
the Revolution, and received two votes
from the Georgia electors for first
President of the Cnlted States. He mar
ried Hannah Spencer and by her had a
son. Homer Virgil Milton." nn officer
in the War of 1812. He was known
as General Milton.
General Milton had a son John Mil
ton, born In 1807, who was governor of
Florida. Governor Milton had a son
William Henry Milton, a distinguished
Jurist, and his son. William Hall, born
In 1804, was a distinguished surveyor
general.

LAFAYETTE
TAFAY'ETTE'S birthday should, and
will rank In the hearts of Ameri
cans along with the birthdays of Wash
Ington and Lincoln. For we have owed
a debt to Lafayette and France foi
our freedom, which we have never for
gotten and which we are Just beginning
to repay. Pershing, at the tomb ol
this great Frenchman, said simply,
"Lafayette, we are here" and expressed
the feeling of all America.
Marie Joseph Paul Yves Koch Gil
bert Du Metier, Marquis de Lafayette,
was born In Auvergne, France, Septem
ber 0, 1757. At thirteen he was left an
orphan with a princely fortune ; at six
teen he married a young girl from one
of the country's most noted families;
at nineteen, he wanted to help America
tight for freedom.
He came to America first with a few
comrades, enlisted us a volunteer with
out pay, but was made a major general.
He proved his value as a commando!
at once. He was obliged to return to
France for six mouths, really as a
champion of America at the court of
Louis XVI. He returned, used Ids own
money to provide for his men. and took
a distinguished part all through out
Revolution.
His history, after that, is almost the
history of France. He worked for the
liberty of his own country, but tried to
stop the frenzy of the revolting eople
who threw French polities into such a
chaotic state towards the end of the
century. He even suffered five years'
Imprisonment. In spite of Amerlca'i
pleas for him. After alternate periods
of political activity and of quiet, he
died In Paris, in 1S34.
