58 YEARS OF SERVICE
It is always worth while to point out examples of ex­
ceptional law fulness to duty oftener by the press. It
would tend to lead ‘he younger generation to higher as­
pirations and ideals. While such chronicles are not so
colorful as those of moral delinquencies, unfaithfulness
and crime, they are equally interesting to the well-dis­
posed mind.
This week a faithful employee of the government was
re‘ired from active duty after 58 years of service in a
useful though rather obscure capacity. He is Max Hans-
mann, of the Lighthouse Service, assistant engineer in
charge of the hydrographic division.
Mr. Hansmann entered that service in 1872, but had
been an employee of the Treasury Department three
years before that, so that he has given 58 years to the
service of the government. One of his reminiscences is
that he assisted in setting up a lighthouse lens for dis­
play purposes in connection with the second inaugura­
tion of President Grant in 1873.
His exceptional record was commented upon by his
chief, Secretary Herbert Hoover, who wro*e Mr. Hans­
mann a letter containing the following:
“I have been impressed by your fine record in the
Lighthouse Service since 1872, your original appoint­
ment having been in 1869 in the Treasury Department.
This is indeed a remarkable record of long and faithful
service. I4 gives me sincere pleasure to express the de­
partment’s pride in your record and to give you its best
wishes in your retirement.”

SAFE FLYING RECORD
An unusual record for safe flying was brought to no­
tice a few days ago, when President Coolidge presented
Lhe Harmon trophy for 1926 to Shirley J. Short of the
United States air mail service.
Mr. Short was selected for the honor for having flown
718 hours, covering 57,440 miles, during the year with­
out a mishap. Since his appointment to the mail service
in 1923 he had flown 235,754 miles up to the end of 1926.
During his service Mr. Short has piloted various types
of airplanes used by the Post Office Department, on
scheduled trips day and night in all kinds of weather.
The Harmon trophy is awarded annually to the avia
tor who has done most during the year to demonstrate
the reliability of the airplane as a means of transporta­
tion, and is donated by Clifford Harmon, a pioneer
American balloonist and aviator, now living in Paris.
Mr. Harmon holds the balloon endurance record, having
remained in the air 48 hours and 26 minutes in 1909.
and was also the first aviator to fly across Long Island
Sound.
His encouragement of safety ¡n aviation is a most
commendable contribution to art, and serves to call to
public attention the dependability of the airnlane in the
hands of skilled and careful pilots like Mr. Short.
