Police and Gamblers.

Police Supt. Hesse suggests that a
paddock" Law is needed in the District
to suppress the gambling evil. He would
have Congress grant authority to close
for long period any establishment in
which games of chance were found 10
be under way, in any form. Such a
law would be effective, Of course, only
in case of conviction after trial, for the
paddock could not be applied merely OF.
the strength of arrests. But 1t would
serve good purpose to have estab-
lished the principle that properties
used for an illegal purpose could not
continue TO be used for any purpose for
a period. 1t would put the owners OF
such properties on warning Of the pos
sibility Of loss of revenue in the event
Of the misuse of their buildings fol-
lowed by the conviction Of their tenants.
In this connection 1t has heretofore
been suggested that one way to
strengthen the laws against gambling
would be to hold ths owner Of premises
On which illegal enterprises are con-
Quoted jointly responsible for the breach
Of peace. Most OF these yeritably public
gambling joints are conducted In rented
places. II the owners Of those prop
critics were made responsible for the
abuse OF tenancy which the conduct OF
an Illegal business involves there would
probably be stricter supervision over the
activities Of tenants and a diminution
Of the practice.
Another suggestion has been advanced
that may be worthy Of consideration. 1t
is that policeman be stationed In front
Of every establishment where pools are
known TO be soI1 or other games Of
chance are played-in short. every iden-
tilted gambling hcuse-to warn all who
enter that the place Is under suspicion
and that they may find themselves in
VOWED In case OF raids. But this, even II
practicable, might not harmonize with
police rzicing plans, which must be
founded upon such secrecy as may be
possible.
II is certainly sn int0ierable situa-
ton that gambling joints can flourish,
With the full knowledge Of the police,
in the Capital City, without corrective
action by the courts. II the police
methods Of detection and arrest are not
sufnclentiy effective they should be I'm
proved. II the courts 90 not give ade-
cuate attention to cases brought be-
fore them, permitting needless deia1s
and eyaSions through resort 10 the
familiar tactics Of penalty -dodging
guilty ones. there must be revision OF
the laws which will guarantee prompt

Defeat of Income Publicity
Meets With Public Approval

Justice to industry and other CONNER
ciaI relationships could be wrought 20
irreparable degree by such disclosures
as the amendment contemplated
Publicity of income returns" as
viewed by the Chicago Tribune, is an
expression of envy and malice and the
mischief making impulse OF men With
out sense of practical affairs. II Is un-
fair in its effects, and without justt1ca-
ton in any substantial public benefit
whatsoever 1t Is an expression OF the
all-mindednesS, intolerance and lack
of respect for individual independence
which creates q pest OF obnoxious and
unworkable law throughout the Nation,
and is replacing the wholesome spirit OF
American neighborlineSS with the acid
OF mean distrust and petty interference
in private affairs"
The st. Joseph News-PreSs reviews
the history of the similar 1924 provision,
with the statement: AT the time OF
the repeal of the clause. February OF
1926. it had been productive Of much
litigation. controversy and irritation.
There was serious question as 10 its
constitutionality, which was challenged
in several cases then pending in the
courts. but when Congress struck out
the provision the cases were dropped. so
the disputed points never have been
settled. There was much that was
dubious and vague in the law"

Those athletic shoulders better fit In

thought. The long skirt hides legs
more free and modest In silk stockings
How much for the better have wom-
ems clothes changed This Is the hon.
est thought of an honest man, and nc
doubt Is a reflection OF the honest
thoughts of all honest men.
The time dresses of women were
immodest to degree, with their url-
necessary concealments and their equally
unnecessary revealments.
The idea behind them, in the light OF
the more free and happy costumes OF
today. was essentially in line with the
veil of the hsrem.
Today all that is changed. The ply
sical construction of ladies IS no longer
a mystery, and to that extent lacks the
unhealthy lure which all mysteries pos
scSS.
It is impossible to see how the present
styles in womens clothes will look as
absurd 10 years from now. as the fash
ions of decade ago do today.
TIL: thing Is impossible!
Why. merely to look at pictures taken
even SO short a time ago makes one
smile, while the dresses of 20 years gone
by draw hearty laughter. not only from
men but from the women, too.
Women, despite the fact that some
say they have no sense Of humor, are
always struck by the preposterous
fashion plates" in the surviving copies
of "Godey's Ladies' Book"
A scintillating young lady showed us,
with much laughter, several of these
plates. pointing out the huge sleeves,
the full skirts, and so on, and said:
do you realize that such a dress as
that took 25 yards of silk? And do you
know how much it took to make this
dress have on?"
Critically we surveyed the frock. (Are
dresses called frocks any more?) Final
ly we gave it up.
Less than three yards" said she, tri-
umphantly.
The big point, aside from the major
one previously mentioned. was that the
dress was stylish and good looking and
utterly becoming TO the lady in queS-
ton.
1t seems to us observers Of the FASH
ions that whereas In the old days
women and girls dressed all alike, today
they are beginning TO use their heads
more, with the result that every lady
more or less suits herself.
This. Of course, within limits. For
centuries women were held down and
restricted more than men ever were,
except the males of the serf class. and
as a result even in 1928 they are not
free to do exactly as they please. No
doubt. II they could. many would ap-
pear in no clothes at all, as more happy
and carefree still.
Women's styles today have the de-
cided merit of simplicity. Gone are the
gew-gaws which ladies OF past genera

The Flight of the Southern Cross.

One Of the most satisfying features
Of the remarkable flight of the South
ern Cross from San Francisco to Homo
lulu is that during the entire time OF
more than twenty-four hours the world
vas informed regularly Of the planes
progress. Whereas heretofore the air
heroes. after the take-off, have usually
vanished into a void of silence until
they either made their destination or
were given up for lost, the regular and
cheerful messages from those aboard
the Southern Cross brought relief and
confidence and added an additional
dramatic touch TO the hazardous trip.
Capt. Charles Kingsford Smith,
Charles T. P. Ulm, James Warner and
Lieut.. Harry Lyon are to be congratu-
lated fog accomplishing one of the most
difficult Fights in modern aviation. In
their gian: three-motored Fokker plane

ty-seven hotts and half after leaving

rection is north. The tragic story Of
Scott's return journey has become one
Of the imperishable memories of the
human race.
But when these two parties started
out the South Pole was undiscovered
Almost the only objective of both Scott
and Amundsen was to discover one spe-
cific thing. the location of the Pole it
self, Both discovered" II. 1t never
can be discovered" again.
Any future expeditions into the Ant
arctic continent must have an entirely
different objective in order to justify
themselves. Both Byrd and wilkins
would do well to consider the crossing
OF the Pole as purely incidental. They
have before them the richest field-and
the most difficult-which remains for
the intrepid explorer while the human
race Is confined to this planet. They
are to enter an enormous area OF the
surface of the earth, concerning most
Of which absolutely nothing Is known.
The surface has not even been scratch
ed For a century hence, 1t is likely,
the Antarctic continent will provide ex-
plorers with plenty to discover without
bothering any more about the Pole.
The bottom of the world is truly
never r-never land" amidst whose black
peaks and icy wastes anything is likely
to be found except life. Yet many be-
lieve that the continent may be the
casket of an extremely rich and varied
fauna and fora which hourished at
time when far different climatic condi-
tions obtained upon the surface OF the
globe. The possibilities are endless, ant
they defy the imagination.
Compared with what remains to be
discovered, the mere prospect OF two
men flying over a geometric point which
already has been crossed twice has lit
tie appeal. Any one of the yawning
chasms over which the airplane motors
will roar through the air may contain
material compared to which the Pole
itself would sink into insignifcance in
popular and scientific interest.
Comdr. Byrd has stated repeatedly
that he plans scientific expedition. |
That is exactly what is needed at the
bottom of the world.
