The Supercity.

The day of the supercity is at hand.
The world views with astonishment the
DEVELOPMENT of Greater New York. In
m country whose Constitution was for
mally adopted only 140 years ago, the
growth of enormous cities has been one
of Ne marvels of modern times. But.
astonishing as this development has
ken, in the last half century partic-
Glarly, the prospects of the immediate
future along these lines are even more
astounding. The Regional Planning
COMMITTEE, sponsored and financed by
the Russell Sage Foundation at cost
of a million dollars, has just submitted
Ats recommendations for the develop
'tnent of that region comprising Greater
New York, Northern New Jersey, Long
and Putnam Counties and Southwestern
Connecticut. 1t is estimated that by
1865, thirty-five years hence, this area
may have a population of twenty mil
ton of such a population that the
Regional Planning Committee has made
Cts recommendations.
Not many years ago the United States
was considered a country of vast open
spaces rather than country Of large
population. Huge areas of congested
population were unknown. There ap-
peared to be unlimited space for all

OF the country, however, has resulted
IN the creation of great cities. Strategic
points because of their accessibility, the
opportunities offered for transportation
by water or rail, have been selected as
sites for huge manufacturing opera
tions. The necessary labor has flowed
70 these points by the million.
e. The concentration of great numbers
of human beings in these strategic
points, the great cities of the country
has brought about new science, thu
science of civic government and i'm
provement. 1t was in recognition o.
the need growing out of the industrial
development Of the area near New Yorl
City that the Regional Planning Com
mittee was called into being seven year
. ago and the best engineering talent pu
to work. The result Of that work 4
now made public. The report of tn

they are playing well simply coast
around the course, and there is nothing
less firing than strutting after well
hit Observation-Disclosures down
the middle. But-and 1t is big but
when the shots are not coming OF,
when the impenetrable forests reach
out to grab a hook or a slice, when
hunting for lost balls occupies the en-
tire afternoon, and when the puts rim
the cup but will not drop, then the
tired mind and the tired muscles seem
to be only half as bad as an aggra-
waited case of infammatory rheumatism.
That is the time when any golfer will
bless an elevator, bicycle, tricycle., hell
copter or tractor to help him on his
weary. way around the interminable
eighteen holes. There is no fatigue like
it, and there never will be.
For this reason 1t is to be hoped that
some of the local clubs will look favor
ably upon the elevator idea. The sew
enteenth hole at Columbia is terrible
under the aforementioned conditions.
So is the awful climb from the ninth
green to the tenth tee at Washington.
The eighteenth at Congressional can be
a heartbreaker for the muscles of leg
or arm after bad round, and there
are others too numerous to mention.
In fact, it might be well to add few
to the elevator plan.
Well frosted glasses of lemonade might
be served to each Of the sufferers on
the way up, while the caddies could be
compelled to carry palm fans and wave
them gently to cool the fevered brows.
The scoffers may scott. but only the
dyed-in-the-wool golfer knows that
even oil of these luxuries and conven-
fences would do little to hasten his re-
turn to normally in mind and body.

A Home for the Guard.

The District National Guard does
not deserve the treatment that it has
received as sort of red-headed orphan
without home. The War Department,
Congress and the District government
have shown no more than a passing
and a passive interest in the problem
now become acute, of giving it perma-
rent and adequate quarters Crowded
out Of the old Convention Hall. at Fifth
and L streets. by the march of COM
merce and destined now to lose the re-
modelled Government hotel buildings on
the Capitol Plaza occupied since then,
the Guard will soon be turned out into
the cold again with no refuge in sight.
Such a condition necessitates serious
consideration by the Public Buildings
Commission of Maj. Gen. Anton
Stephan's suggestion that the Pension
Building be turned over to the National
Guard as an armory. Built as memo
'rial to the soldiers of the Civil War, the
Pension ONCE Building now houses the
offices of the controller general, the
pension force long since having been
removed to the Interior Department. AS
an office building it is uneconomical,
and the nature Of the work there car
ried on is no longer representative of
the sentiment which actuated the con-
etruction Of the memorial.
On the other hand, the unique
/ Architectural arroroa,oa,,t IF the in
terror is excellently adapted to the
needs of an armory, the lack of which
has so long been felt here. An
Independent ONCE Building will be
erected within the next few years to
house such Offices as Mr.. McCarls. No
more fitting use could be found for
the vacated Pension ONCE than that
suggested by Gen. Stephan.
He would not confine this use to the
National Guard, however. Gen. Stephan
suggests that the building could serve,
in addition, as a headquarters for the
Organized Reserves and the veterans
organizations of all wars. There would
still be suf1icient floor space for War
Department museum, and the proximity
of the structure to the proposed
Municipal Center would make it con-
venient gathering place for some OF
the conventions which annually as
eemble in Washington.
The Pension once has never been
praised for its beauty. But it does re-
main as an interesting relic. AS long
as 1t stands any unitarian advantages
it possesses should be capitalized. Gen.
stephan's suggestion is not only prac-
tical, but 1t would carry out the
symbolism of the building. If it is not
accepted. 1t remains for the War De-
partment and the District government
to combine their forces in permanently
ending a ouse-hunting expedition for
the Guard which never has established
the home 1t deserves.

"Avoiding Responsibility."

Avoiding Responsibility"
"Crucified under Pontius Plate
down through the long ages the infamy
OF PLATE, the petty Roman governor,
who condemned Jesus to crucifixion,
has been expressed by the followers of
the Nazarene. AS the representative
of the imperial Roman government
Plate, himself, constituted the last
court of resort. Cold and conscience
less, he was caught in the net of pub
lie opinion, and, Notwithstanding his
position as judge. he evaded his re-
sponsibility and delivered Jesus to the
will of the mob. The record of the
trial of Jesus before PLATE witnesses
to the gross miscarriage of justice. The

that of his wife, who admonished him
to let this just man alone. Repeatedly
he appealed to the mob saying that he
could find nothing in the recorded acts
of the Master that justified capital
punishment. He would chaStiSe Him

people cried out, IF thou let this man

whose will he held ONCE, was worth
more to him than all else. He would
sell his soul to hold the favor of the
monarch. His supreme test came when
he had to make choice between popular
favor and the faultless victim of the
peoples wrath. In his embarrassment
and confusion he asked the weighty
question, What then shall I do with
Jesus, which Is called Christi" With
his mind perfectly clear as to the in
nocency of the prisoner he, neverthe-
less. condemned Him to be crucifled.
PLATE is a striking Illustration Of one
who knows what is right and evades
personal responsibility for doing it. On
the momentous morning when Christ

tor was importuned to declare himself
either for Hoover or for AL Smith for

so on the announced ground that they
were running for the headship of one OF
the coordinate branches of the Govern
ment, while he was running for mem

and that, therefore, it would be actually
improper for him to intervene in their
quarrel. He further aptly pointed out
that neither Of them had taken any
position regarding him. He stated that
he would initiate and reciprocate their
