The Sidewalks of Washington

Europe still waits. 1t would have been
i'll fortune had he sailed that day.
A travelling man missed a train ror
the West. He had calculated closely
on his itinerary and was peeved when
he arrived at the gate in time to see
the red lights receding down the track.
He cussed his luck. Next morning ne
purchased a newspaper and on the f1rst
page read about the catastrophe that
had occurred to the train In upstate
New York. A rear-end collision had
DESTROYED several sleeping cars and left
a wake of death. Didn't Shakespeare
say something about divinity that
shapes our ends? Sometimes the last
minute man wins.

we heard the following between Two

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

December %, 1S6O-More than 500
citizens of Washington called tonight
at the residence of Senator Pugh of
Ohio, on Louisiana avenue, and offered
him the compliment of a Serenade, ex-
pressing their appreciation of his recent
efforts on the floor of the Senate for
the restoration Of peace to our distract
ed country. The procession was accom-
panied by the Marine Band.
After the band had played several
airs Mr.. We'd of this city came upon
the balcony and said: Fellow citizens,
have the honor Of introducing the
Senator from Ohio, Mr.. Pugh, Union
man. What more can be said than
that?"
AS the crowd cheered Senator Pugh
came forward on the balcony.
MY friends" said Senator Pugh,
certainly no man ever had more cause
to be thankful for compliment so un-
expected. I deserve only the credit of
having discharged my plain duty as a
Senator of the United States in striving
to avert the catastrophe of civil war.
I am truly, as my friend has said,
Union man."
This remark was greeted by more
cheering and loud cries of Good,
good"
But do not believe" continued Sem
ator Pugh, that our Union can be
maintained by the sword. It must re-
pose In the affections of the people in
every State, and the way to preserve
the Union now and at all times is to
endear it to the hearts of the people
in every State by convincing them that
it is better, infinitely better, than any
other form of government"
Senator Pugh took the position that
If the extremists on both sides should
plunge the Nation into civil war as the
result of the election of Abraham Lin
coin as President, the border States
should remain aloof and later endeavor
to restore the Union.
This sentiment, however, did not
please all of his hearers, as was indi-
Gated by loud shouts of Bring back
South Cardinal"
Senator Pugh endeavored to silence
these cries by saying that South Caro-
lima would come back into the Union
OF her own accord if treated In a
friendly manner, but it was evident that
many persons in the crowd were not
convinced by his statement.

CHILDREN THAT THEY HAVE


Trimming the Christmas tree is one
Of the last-minute jobs that cannot be
done beforehand successfully, however
busy the household may be, and the
mother in particular. 1t is form of
interior decoration that is pleasurable
just III the doing. It may be one Of the
jolliest of good times, in fact, If par
ents of little children do the work to-
gether after the little tots are safely
tucked away in bed, dreaming OF the
wonderful day to come, and yet hoping
they will be awake to hear Santa Claus
reindeer prancing on the roof.
The children can have their share In
helping, however, by making chains OF
CAV paper links, or by stringing pop
corn, all kernels white as snow, or in
many hueS. Supplying variety in color
is very easy. Dip the kernels in solu-
ton of dye or immerse in stain before
letting the children begin to work. The
kernels will dry very quickly. There is
plenty of time to do this and have the
festoons made before they are needed
for the tree. A warning not to eat
the colored kernels is scarcely neces-

sary, as the taste will be spoiled by the I.
coloring matter. =
If children are restless the day before
Christmas ask them to help maFa the q
decorations. A mother will be pretty
sure of ready response, at least so long
as restless feet can be kept from prane-''
ing about. Some mothers let their
children. trim the tree, beginning to
work two or three days before Christ
mas. Some of the older ones can be
trusted to stand on chairs or even on
stepladde1s so that they can reach far
up in the branches One child should I
hand another the trinkets to be fastened
to the branches or twigs, or the chains
and ornamental strings Of popcorn. =
cranberries, etc. The youngsters revel
In this task, but it still remains ques- :
tion whether they enjoy this as much as
the splendor of the surprise that awaits
them when they see the tree that has
been decorated for, and not by, them.'1
Usually parents prefer to trim the trees Z
and watch the joyous expressions OF
the little folk when they spy the tree

Everyday Psychology.
By DR.. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Criminology.


There never was time when some
one didn't spin a theory to account for
the criminal
Away back In the early days of the
race the medicine man and the priest
got their heads together and concluded
that the criminal was an agent Of Sa-
tan or of some one of the lesser devils.
This theory seemed logical and lasted
for centuries.
Then came the "free-will" theory.
Criminals were criminals by choice.
The. next step in the evolution of
criminology was ushered in something
like 100 years ago, when Gall explained
all psychological processes in terms of
physical traits, especially those relating
to the head and face. This theory was,
after ,century's run, discarded.
Then came an imaginative sociologist
with psychological bee in his bonnet.
Imitation as an instinct accounted for
everything. The principle of imitation
was supposed to be as regular as the
law Of gravitation. According to the
imitation theory, no one willingly COM
mits crime: he is driven to it by the
sheer force of example.
In late years two widely different
theories are supposed to tell the
why's and wherefores Of crime. One be-
longs to nature, the other to nurture
The nature theory holds that crimi-
mails are weak because certain glands
do not secrete sufficient amount of
the right kind of energy-giving chemi-
Gals. Or again, nature may have over
looked something In the way of stable
nervous system.
The nurture theory holds that crimi-
mails are the product Of unwholesome
surroundings, especially those of their
childhood days. Vicious environmental
influences create vicious personalities.
This latest theory has more to COM
mend 1t than all the others combined
Imitation does contribute something.
So does will power. in so far as the
term means anything. On the whole,
person is pretty much the result of
having lived somewhere and battled
somewhat with the social and economic
forces about him.

clusters, having the balls hanging at
varying lengths. At the top she placed
few silver leaves which were presum-
ably the grape leaves growing with these
iridescent globes. Bunches OF the balls
were hung below every wall light on the
ground floor of the house.
For her centerpiece she used toy
cardboard house, the kind which folds
compactly when not set up. Around the
house she had green stuff and Christ
mas berries. The little lights were
dressed to represent the folks who lived
in this home. Santa Claus had visited
the house and was caught In the act Of
climbing out of the chimney. Inside
were the favors. To each one of these
was attached silver cord which
reached from house to guests place at
table. The favors were pulled out after
dessert.

FIGHTS AGAINST
BEING SENT TO
DEATH-IN CHINA
Youthful Editor Says He
Is Student, to Evade
Deportation.

By United Press
SAN FRANCISCO, May 18-May
an alien student in free America
continue active interest in radical
or revolutionary movements in his
homeland?
On the answer to this question
hangs the life Of Tsiang Hsi Tseng,
young student-editor of the Chi
nese Guide in America, left-wing
Nationalist paper published here.
Tsiang Is under arrest by the United
States immigration authorities, who
are anxious to deport him to China
as an agitator and RED"
Charge He Quit School
The ostensible charge is that he
has lost his status of student by
leaving Stanford University for
two months. If he is deported to
China certain death awaits him at
the hands of the reactionary war
lords of north China.
His case, defended by the Civil
Liberties Union, the International
Labor Defense Of California and
student bodies. was decided in his
favor by Federal Judge Frank H.
Kerr1gan, who ordered him released
from Federal custody at Angel Is
land immigration station.
Judge Favors Alien
Judge Kerrigan found that Tsiang,
ordered from school by his physi-
cian. made every effort to regain.
admission, editing the paper in the
meantime. He had not, ruled Ker-
rigan, lost his student status, and
his journalistic activities were not
in issue.
Undeterred by the Kerrigan rul-
ing, the immigration Bureau ap-
pealed to the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals, apparently de-
ternined to bring the young student
under the shadow Of the heads
mans ak and send him to his
death.
The case comes up June 70.
Tsiang has entered Columbia Uni
versity to continue his studies.

has employed Attorney Austin Lewis
to fight the appeal, and is asking
for funds to prevent the youths
