BRITISH FOUNDATION OF CASTE
CRUMBLES BEFORE DEMOCRACY
English Social and Political System,
Shaken by Once Ridiculed Force,
Furnishes Strange Paradoxes.

to partake of the mysteries Of crossed
legs. I suspect that privilege went
with government.
But how privilege, in some form or
other, does live and cling even in an
age Of democracy! I see crossed legs
everywhere. see them in Piccadilly
and Regent street and Bond street,
where shopkeepers put up the royal
arms over the door and proclaim in
they are purveyors to the King. They
are, by special appointment, his out
filters III hats. and boots, and shirts,
and books. and pipes, and collars, and
groceries.
The difference, I am told, between
these shops and other shops is that
the shops with the royal arms charge
more for their merchandise. Which
probably is the reason some Britons
land some Americans) patronize them.
Whether the King really does any shop
ping in these places ! do not know
Shops that do not cater by appointment
to the King are not necessarily de-
barred therefore from all cross-legged
privilege.
There are other royalties. have seen
one shop that is, by special appoint
ment, purveyor of gloves or something
of that sort to his majesty the King of
Portugal. The King of Portugal, If am
not mistaken, now lives In lodgings in
Bloomsbury.
Only Symbols Survive.
Systems change, then, and only the
symbols of them survive. A Scotsman
who used to be school teacher (but SO
was Carlyle) wrote the Kings speech
last week. which was read in the House
of Lords by Lord Chancellor Sankey
and in the House of Commons by the
Speaker, Capt. @. A. Fftsroy. Mr.. Mac
Donald, the blushing author of 1t, sat
modestly by in the House Of Commons
and appeared to be favorably impressed
with the good sense of 1t.
The opposition, however, did not
think nearly so well of the speech
Which makes me think that in St
Stephens Hall saw a statue of Somers
In this same Commons Somers once
rose up TO utter word Of mild criticism
of speech from the throne and they
days I think the King wrote his own
speeches. It does make difference, you
know.
The difference, to 60 back to our orig
inal figure Is the difference between
the grave of Macauley in the Abbey and
the grave of Dickens-and they are
only few feet apart.
One institution survives here in reality
and not in symbol-the Royal Ascot
The King did not get down to 1t, but
hundreds of thousands of his subjects
did. Royal Ascot is horse race. That
is, the horses run there, but really it,

O'BR|EN OBJECTS
TO "RAYON" NAME
Manufacturer Says All Prod.
ucts Are Not Covered
by Term.
BY the Associated Press.

Objection to the term "rayon," as
provided In the House bill, to cover all
synthetic textiles was made today be-
fore Senate subcommittee by Matthew
H. O'Brien, representing the Celanese
Corporation Of America Of Cumber-
land, Md. The witness said the prod
uct manufactured by his corporation
was different chemically and physically
from rayon.
Reductions in rates on rayon braids
were urged by George Miller and Irwin
z. Weber OF New York, representing the
Association of Felt and Straw Goods
Importers, while Qualification of the
tarid bill paragraphs relating to watch
and clock parts was asked by Edgar l..
VAN Of New York, representing the
Jaeger Watch Co. Under the House bill
Vail said a duty Of SIS would be placed
on some parts If the measure were taken
literally which would cost only / cent
abroad
Protection for Firearms Asked.
An appeal for adequate protection for
firearms and ammunition in order to
keep manufacturers in the business for
national defense was made before a
Senate subcommittee yesterday by Lieut.
Col. Townsend Whelan, representing the
War Department. He said the Army
and Navy were partly dependent upon
these manufacturers for their war sup
plies.
A. D. Dicke of New York, representing
the Remington Arms Co., requested
retention of the 1922 tariff bill duty or
shotguns and rifles, while F. B. Warner
OF the Davis Warner Arms Corporation
of Norwich. Conn, opposed the increase
Of 10 per cent ad valorem in the House
bill on rough shotgun barrels.
Drawing Instruments Listed.
An increase in the tariff on drawing
instruments was asked by Theodore G
Altender of Philadelphia, the only re-
naming manufacturer of these instru-
nlentS in this country. He declared a
disparity in German and American
wages made an increase from 40 to rs
per cent ad valorem necessary to pro-
tect his business.
After j. Louis Schrade of Walden
N. Y, representing the American
pocketknife industry, had requested ar
increase in the duty on cheap pocket
knives, Chairman Reed of the metals
subcommittee said it appeared the
present tariff, which would be in
creased cent per knife by the House
bill, was too high.

AMERICAN AIDED
IN HAVANA FIGHT
State Department Helps Win
Sixty-Day Stay in Prop
erty Dispute.

Sixty days more in which to con-
tinue the fight for possession Of his
property in Havana, Cuba, claimed TO
be worth ss,oo0,0oo has been granted,
through the efforts Of the American
Government, to J. z. Barlow, an
American with large real estate inter-
estS in Cuba.
Barlow claims he was elected from
the property by members Of the Cuban
Congress and that they are holding 1t
In defiance of q court order. He has
been fighting the custer for several years
and has tried to interest members Of
Congress In his behalf.
The property, known as Mangiar de
Urretia, was advertised to be sold, 1t
was claimed, to meet demands Of mort
gage holders, about 10 days ago, for
about one-twelfth of its alleged value, or
100000. Mr.. Barlow had appealed to
Congress, President Hoover and the
State Department, with the result that
this Government had asked the Cuban
government to investigate the case be-
fore allowing the property to be sold.
Sale Is STAYED OF.
After representations of this Govern
ment, the property was offered for sale,
but there were no bidders. 1t was learn
ed at the State Department today that
II will not be put up for sale again for
so days.
Meantime the State Department is
continuing its efforts to assist Mr.. Bar
low in his fight to regain the property.
Thanking Secretary Of State Stimson
for his efforts in temporarily prevent
ing the sale of the property, Mr.. Bar
low has written to Mr.. Stimson asking
further aid of the American Govern
ment.
Property Fenced In.
"If this is DONE" says Mr.. Barlow
in his letter to Secretary Stimson,
within 20 days thereafter shall be
able to take up the mortgage on the
Mangler without the slightest din
Guilty"
He says that the Buena Vista proper
ty was fenced in by order of Alfredo
Zayas, then president of Cuba, in 1924.
The day after the order for the fencing
was issued Mrs. Barlow, in his absence
from the island, went into court with a
power Of attorney and requested the
Judge to call in the parties and ascertain
by what right the property was being
fenced. The Judge said he would grant
the request, but thus far, Mr.. Barlow
says, the parties have not been called
in.
Mr.. Barlow claims he is the victim
of a group Of Cubans who have been
trying to ruin him financially and get
possession Of his property.

INT. HIGHWAY IS EXPLAINED
 BY MCDONALD
Proposed Road Through Canada to Alaska De-
 tailed at C. of C.

The Juneau Chamber of Con- merce today at the weekly luncheon heard Donald Mcdonald, of the Alas Road Commission. with headquarters at Fairbanks, tell of the proposed International High way that will link the States through Canada with the Territory of Alaska.
 The highway may appear to be far fetched dream" said MT. Me Donald, but the proposed project is no greater than projects that are a matter of course each month of the year not only in the States but in the Territory as well.
 The benefits that would result from a connecting roadway would be beyond estimate. Such @ travel link would bring to the north country each year thousands oi cars with their pleasure-seeking vacat!oners who would otherwise probably never visit Alaska.
 With the established roads o1 Canada now reaching as far north as Hazelton, British Columbia, and with the Alaska chain reaching from the Westward coast to Fair banks, there remains only 700 miles of virgin road to construct to com plete the link. This TOO miles Of highway could be put in operation for about $7000,O0o. The coun- try through which the road would

They Never Learn

Bourbon TO the last, the professional politi-
clans never learn.
They have not yet discovered that new
day has dawned for Indiana and Indianapolis
in which the people are no longer IDIOTS nor
sheep.
In the legislature they are taking up the
time of the people discussing the advisable
ity'' Of the city manager form OF government
The people nave already settled that. In
Indianapolis the vote was five to one in its
favor. In Evansville and Terre Haute the peo-
pie are trying to vote on the same change with
the chances in favor Of its adoption in those
centers by about the same vote.
In the past these slaves to the boss have
tried tricks and force. They succeeded to de-
gree. Two years ago they delayed its opera
ton in this city and kept in Office one John
DuvaI until grand jury discovered evidence
on which he was later convicted.
The same forces which tried 20 protect Du-
vail are now at work trying to set aside the
right of the people to run their own affairs.
The stupidity of these so-called leaders is
only rivaled by their thorough and complete
disregard for public opinion.
Why do they wish to kill the city manager
plan of government?
And who are behind the bosses3
The answers are very easy.
The present scheme of things lends itself
to the use of public Office for political purposes.
The Jobs can be handed to the inefficient or the
crooked. The power can be used to sell special
privileges.
The politicians take the jobs. The grafters
in business in crime, in industry can buy what
they want
That is the reason that utility lobbyists are
found working with the vassals OF the bosses
TO kill the city manager law.
They are desperate, of course. And the
showdown has come.
It would be tragedy if an accidental ma
iority in the last election should longer delay

maxim in the field Of hygiene is
moderation in all things. 1T is well
known that any force which is
potent fer good may also be potent
for harm.
Among the peculiar follies Of the
physical culture movement none is
so preposterous a the notion that
breathing of one type or another is
significant in the causing Of disease
or in the cure of various complaints.
Breathing may be to a large ex-
tent controlled, but it is also to a
considerable extent automatic. Ali
systems of breathing, such as alb
dominaI breathing, rhythmical, deep
breathing and other schemes, are
irrational. Nobody ought to live
for his lungs alone.
The cold bath fanatic is q men
ace to his associates, because he is
not satisfied to indulge himself in
his fad, but endeavors, as do all
faddists, to convince his friends.
Cold baths taken in the morn
ing stimulate the nerve endings in
the skin and drive the blood from
the surface, to which it returns with
a rush when the person comes out
of the bath and rubs himself briskly
with a towel.
This is pleasant and invigorating,
but it throws a considerable burden

may be harmful to those whose Or
gans do not respond readily.
Exercise is useful for stimulating
the reactions of the body systems.
But exercise does not mean mara
thon races or hundred-mile walks!
The road to health does not lie
in the exceptional performance, but
in well-conducted and suitably
regulated physical activities.
The fanatics who subsist largely
on hay, grain and oats are not all
either thorobred or jackasses.
The vegetarians, the wheat
fanatics. the fresh fruit followers,
the dangerous combination theorists
and other food faddists do more
harm than good.
The rational view is that all the
things eaten by man are of value
taken in proper amounts at proper
times. Starvation cultists do as
much harm as any others.
An occasional rest period may be
helpful to the human digestive tract,
but long abstinences from food
place burdens on the digestion,
which are not It's due.
So irregular and fallacious are
American habits of diet that every
Babbitt is. willing to listen to his
neighbours suggestion as to what he
should eat.
