Money for Municipal Center.

The proposal TO appropriate, at this
session of Congress, three million dol
lars for the purchase of the four parcels
of land for the new municipal center
site is in keeping with Auditor DON
evans five-year financial program,
although it is slightly in excess Of the
amount that Mr.. Donovan suggested,
at the next session of Congress. in the
form of a deficiency item to supple
ment the regular 1880 appropriations.
Mr.. Donovan proposed that $2,500000
for the purchase of land be asked for
next December, together with an addi-
tionaI $4,000 for the preparation of
plans for the municipal center. Chair
man Simmons of the House subcommit-
tee on District appropriations wants 3d.
600 600 10 be appropriated before the end
of the present session of Congress, and
he correctly argues that the money is
now in the Treasury to the credit Of
the District, representing surplus funds,
and that the quicker the land is pur-
chased the more economical for the
District it will be.
It makes no difference whether the
money, already in hand, is made avail
able now or whether it is made avail
able next December. But the earlier a
start on the municipal center project
is made, the better.
One important question relating to
the municipal center remains unan-
swered. That is the amount that the
District may expect to receive from
the confiscation of the present Munic-
ipal Building for Federal purposes, and
the amount that the Federal Govern
ment proposes to pay, in addition, to
build the municipal center. Coincident
with the appropriation of District sur
plus revenue for starting the municipal
center there should be an enunciatton
of congressional policy toward flnanc-
ing the complete project.

Echoes of Greatness.

The National Oratorical Contest has
aspects of greatness which perhaps no
other single yearly event can boast
Now that 1t is over, and the 1nterna-
tional contest looms, echoes of it remain
firmly fixed in thousands Of young
minds.
Hundreds of thousands of friends OF
the young contestants throughout the
United States heard those talks on the
Constitution, heard and remembered at
least a part of them.
Every remembered phrase is a lesson
in duty to ones country. In an age IN
which amusements and fol-de-rol tend
to throw many off their balance, in
relation to the essential things Of mind
and spirit, such lessons are badly
needed.
The amount of good which these con-
tests are doing is incalculable. There
are measures for grain. and iron anc
brick, and for services there are certain
amounts of compensation and fame, but
for the good which such contest does
only the future is a measurement large
enough.
It has been realized by those whc
have watched these contests, year aftel
year, involving the high school pupils o
the Nation, that there is something 81
big and healthy that it is impossible t
measure it by ordinary standards.

more lenient regarding the time limit
for refunding this tax to visitors who
do not intend to make their permanent
residence here At the present time,
the alien who comes to the United
States must leave the country within
two months if he is to collect the head
tax refund. London officials, as well as
statesmen of some other countries, feel
that this condition is unreasonable"
concludes this journal. The Indlanap-
oils News also refers to the visa charge
in Great Britain, and says, THE ex-
pectation is that the British, as anxious
for tourist traffic as are the French,
the Germans and the Italians, will con-
sent to change.
That intercourse between countries
should be made as easy as possible Is
the point stressed by many papers,
records the Buffalo Evening Times in

the disadvantages of the new-fangled
visa situation, at once opposed 1t, and
for the past 10 years has steadily

any charge at all when the government
of the traveller certifies to his character
and respectability?" asks this paper.
There is no reason why any govern
ment should try to make money out OF
international travel, which should be
for every reason encouraged by the
governments of the nations" declares
the Charleston Evening Post. AS to the
attitude of the travelling public, the New
Orleans Times-Picayune says. "It is
plain as a proyerbial pikeStaff that this
wartime passport charge and the en-
tire system of viSaS long ago became an
1ndefensible nuisance and an imposition
on our travelling public"
Instead of making more costly and
difficult the personal contacts between
the people of the various nations. every
thing in reason should be done to SIM
plify and encourage such interchangeS
in the interest of international UNDER
standing and friendship" says the Salt
Lake Deseret News, as it calls the re-
duction of the visa fees "a step in this
latter direction" The Allentown Morn

sacrifice? Perhaps Mr.. Stimson, our

ment, viz, on the score Of the high
reputation she made for herself as AS
sistant Attorney General. She took that
post when women in high Federal po-
sitions were still something of nov
elty. Men mistrusted their capacity for
offices of importance. Mrs. Willebrandt
confounded all anxieties of that sort
She made good. She was sincere and
industrious. Widely diversified duties
were imposed upon her. They ranged
all the way from prohibition and tax
law enforcement to regulation of United
States attorneys throughout the Union
and supervision of Federal prisons. -Four
Attorneys General-Daugherty, Stone,
Sargent and Mitchell-found in her an
invaluable and jealous Coadjutor. The
women of the Nation looked upon her
as a shining example Of their talent
for governmental service in the most
responsible places.
Mrs. Willebrandt takes with her into
private law practice, which she has
eschewed in recent years at great per-
sonal sacrifice, an uncommonly cordial
tribute from the President. The po-
sition you have held" Mr.. Hoover says.
"aas been one of the most difficult in
the Government and one which could
not have been conducted with such dis
tinguished success by one 81 Ies5 legal
ability and moral courage"
The country, or that portion of it
which has had occasion, as Washington
has had, to know of Mrs. Willebrandt's
work, will heartily echo those commend
atory sentiments from the White House.

@. Why are balloon races started in
the late afternoon or early morning P
]. E. H.
A. Balloon races are started toward
evening because hydrogen, with which
! the balloon is filled, will expand with
! heat The danger of this expansion
would not be SO great toward evening.
The hydrogen has greater lifting power
when cool and condensed than when
expanded.

@. Is there any reason why alumni
mum should not be used as cooking
utensils?-P. N.
| A. According to latest research, "the
| increasing use of aluminium cooking
utensils has resulted in raising the
question of the possible danger to health
of ingesting appreciate quantities OF
this element. In one laboratory

Ruling on Pistol-Toting
OF Interest to Tourists

From the Fort Worth Record-Telegram.
The District of Columbia Court Of
Appeals says that pistol anywhere
inside an automobile is a weapon con-
cealed on the person of the car owner
The test case was that of a pistol be-
meath the drivers seat.
The technicality came with the in
depreciation of on as related to
about" 1t seems that concealed" is
somewhat superf1uous. IF the same de-
PENDANT had been carrying his pistol
in a belt outside his coat, he would
have been arrested under the same law
as though he had been "toting" it in
hip pocket or under his left arm.
They employed concealed" it appears,
because they mostly were-and are.
But the Court of Appeals robs the
subject of all its ambiguity It says
ION the person" means about the per-
son" and that anything upon which the
person is sitting comes under the lat
ter definition. If the pistol had been
in the side pocket of the door or in
the tool box, the decision would have
been the same as though the offender
had placed it in his side coat pocket
or had hung it to the spokes of his
steering wheel
This should have considerable bear
ing on the matter of pistol "toting" by
auto tourists. The practice is being
froYned ppQp BY al Of the States. :

Mrs. Willebrandt's Resignation.

President Hoover has accepted with
unqualified regret the resignation OF
Mabel Walker Willebrandt as Assistant
Attorney General of the United states.
For the past eight years, throughout
the Harding and Coolidge administra-
lions and until now, she has been one
of the most potent figures in the De-
partment of Justice and particularly
active public officer of the Federal Gov
eminent. Probably no woman has held
high place in this country who has at
tanned SO wide a repute as this Cali
fornia Portia or left a deeper personal
impress upon the affairs of the Republic.
During the campaign of 1928 Mabel
Walker Willebrandt became a much
and acrimoniously - discussed figure.
Gov. Smith and the Democratic party
elevated her to the dignity of their pet
aversion. Her holiness in wadlng into
the Midwestern campaign as an arch
prohibitionist subjected her to the
charge not only of partisanship unbe-
coming in a Federal official, but OF
dragging the church issue into the
presidential contest. Mrs. Willebrand'
has never ceased to maintain that ir
advocating Gov. Smiths defeat as
wet, she cast, and meant to cast, nc
single aspersion upon his creed, anc
consistently challenged her critics II

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE

* X
Representative James M. Beck, Re-
publican, of Pennsylvania, whose re-
cent speech assailing presidential en-
croachment upon the tariff prerogatives
of Congress is still Washington topic,
recalls Supreme Court episode in con-
nection with diplomatic liquor. The
question of allowing foreign vessels to
bring ships stores of booze into Ameri-
can waters, and sealing them up while
within our Jurisdiction, was before the
court. Beck, then Solicitor General of
the United States, was discussing the
diplomatic corps immunity from the
arid requirements of the eighteenth
amendment. Chief Justice Taft inter-
rupted the argument to ask if the i'm
munity could not, perhaps, be justified
on the ground of diplomats fright OF
| subsistence" Beck suggested, in re-
tort, that perhaps the theory of right
of oasis" would be a more applicable
term.
Representative Ruth Baker Pratt,
Republican, of New York has lust re-
| IClNCu Ille hIlIludl award OF merit OF

| for contributing most to "the enlarge
ment and enrichment of life" Among
those whom the gentlewoman from
Manhattan beat for the 1929 honor
were John Masef1eld, poet, and William
Beebe, explorer and lecturer. The case
for Mrs. Pratt was presented by United
States Attorney Charles H Tuttle, who
said that Mrs. Pratt typifies, "as few
women do the spirit of cooperation

to purify politics"
