Stephens said afterward. "And he gave
me the beautiful send off"
In many ways there is an interesting
parallel between Mr.. Lamont and what
might be called the Herbert Hoover of
public life.
Like his new chief, Lamont began by
being an engineer and afterward slid
across the bridge which hyphenates en-
cheering with business into becoming
entirely business executive.
He was born in Detroit. Both his
father and mother had come thither
from Canada and both were of pure
Scotch blood When you have learned
that fact 1t is easy to account for Mr..
Lamont's appearance, and perhaps also
for much of his temperament.
He is tall, and after so years still well
Set-up and thin. He has an air that
would carry the green and-blue check
Of the family tartan and a bonnet
slantwise on the top of his sandy hair.
Above all. his eyes are Of that bright
blue which flashes only for Northern
people.
Golf Is Outdoor Interest.
That other Scot, Prof. Craigie of the
University of Chicago, knows how to
pronounce Lamont to make it sound
like "Loch Lommond," scorning the
delicacy of final accent as if it were
French, and he says that the word
comes from the Scandinavian.
Be that as it may, there Is the in
tellectual energy Of kirk and university
in Mr.. Lamont's broad, high forehead.
the sinew of porridge eating ancestors
In his brawny frame and the love of
golf in his heart. He belongs to four
clubs In the neighborhood of Chicago
Shoreacres, Onwentsia, Old Elm and
the Chicago Golf Club.
For him, however, golf Is not merely

Sweden Is Divided by
Tourist Issue

A recent expression by Arthur Lind
hagen, president of the Swedish Tour
list Association, that Sweden must be
maintained in its present state OF nat
ural beauty and culture by the dis
couragement of tourist infiuxes such as
those which have taken place in South
ern European countries, has aroused
great controversy.
Oficials of the Swedish Traffic Asso-
citation, which is charged with en-
ccuraging visits to Sweden by foreign
ers, feel that the business OF "preserva-
ton" must begin at home and that the
greater the number of visitors the
greater the inclination will be to keep
old Swedish customs and institutions In
their natural state.
Lindhagen, whose organization is Sup-
posed to be purely concerned with see
your own country propaganda, is
charged with getting out of his own
territory.
In clarifying his views, Lindhagen
said that he simply thought it unfor-
tunate to turn Sweden into tourist
rum" catering to inconsiGeraate pleas
ure seekers who cared nothing for the
finer things In the country. II only
wanted to stress the Importance of APP
pealing to the better class of visitors,
he said.
I'VE cannot station policemen at the
borders to examine the mentality and
tastes of every foreigner, but We can
encourage visits by people who will app
preciate the better things which Sweden
has to offer.

"favorite game" 1t is the complete
sum of his outdoor interests. And,
have dwelt upon the Scotchness OF his
ancestry partly because 1t is only by
realizing it, that you can account for
his obviously physical fitness. A round
Of golf week could not do 1t, for a
man who, like Lamont, is typically the
indoor city man.
Carried Over u. S. by Career.
He began, say, like MIR. Hoover, as
an engineer. And while Hoover, the
mining engineer of Stanford. was car
ried by his profession around and across
the world, Lamont, civil engineer OF the
University of Michigan, was carried by
his from place to place about the
United States.
In Boston, he worked at the building
of the subway. Mrs. Lamont still tells
with amused Renaissance OF the time,
shortly after they we're married, when
he was to meet her for dinner at a GER
tain restaurant. She waited and waited.

ing on that the fight of time had no
existence for him.
His last work OF purely engineering
kind was done at Cleveland the sink

in the lake.

Peer Urges Japan
Use Roman Letters

Walls that arise from many of those
forced to learn thousands of Japanese
and Chinese characters are not con-
fined to the poor and the ignorant.
A movement for the adoption Of
Roman lettering for Japanese sounds,
or Romaji as they are called, has been
growing for years In Japan and has
even found its way into the oficial
records of the House of Peers.
One of the most prominent advo-
Gates of the adoption Of the Roman
lettering is DR.. Akitsu Tanakadate. A
member of the House of Peers, he
spends most Of his time during the
sessions and all of his time otherwise
IN his work for the campaign to pop
ularize the Romaji.
An opportunity was offered the doc
tor to present his case before the
Upper House and. although no con-
crete legislation was passed following
his grafton, the minister of education
was on hand to answer him, and there
was great deal Of interest and as
much amusement on the part of the
Linguistic conservatives who feel that
what Is oldest Is Of necessity best.

steering the Department Of Commerce.
It comes with something of a sur
prise, then, to learn that his choice
was made after no long personal ac-
quaintance. He had met the new Sec
rotary just once before he rendered him
the appointment, and then only for
few moments.

For, If you were to ask informed citi-
Gems of Chicago to make list of half
dozen men outstanding in the bust

city, there Is not an atom of doubt that
the name of Robert Patterson Lamont
would appear on every one of them.
Few Not Touched by Work.
Indeed. If the basis for elevation to a
cabinet post were an individuals popu-

his personal associates, none could
seem more appropriate than Mr.
Lamont.
make that assertion in spite of the
probable fact that of the 3,l57,4 400 in
habitants of the City of Chicago per-
laps 100000 never heard of him. They
do not know of him because his whole
life has been given to that kind of solid
constructive work which counts for the
most and says the least.
Yet there are few of those 5000, 900
who have not been touched somewhere
by some angle of his work for Chicago.
While the rem ainder-more or less
who constitute the informed circles
and who include all the leaders In the

city, both love him and point with
pride" to him as the ideal of what an
American business man should be.

on one occasion when James Ste

apparently distrustful of Mr.. Lamont's

Then he arose and introduced Mr..

BY ROBERT b. PECK.
TINE United States Senate ratified
the slavery convention of the
L supplementary clause of the St.
German treaty, on February Is
without arousing any great clamor or
enthusiasm throughout the country.
Probably most of those who noticed at
all the not particularly prominent &C
counts of the action in the newspapers
dismissed it with the vague thought
that the League of Nations was busying
itself and interesting the Senate of the
United States in matter which had
ceased to be of importance to this ma
ton or to the world at large about 81
years ago.
In effect, that was the view which
the State Department took of the sub
ject when the League of Nations pre-
liminary or draft convention on slavery
was presented to it In September. 1925.
The Secretary of State wrote to the
secretary general of the League that he
was pleased to inform him that slav-
cry and the slave trade are prohibited
under the fundamental laws of the
United States" adding that the Gov
eminent of the United States was
deeply interested in any movement
which looks toward the adjustment Of
all forms of involuntary servitude."

That is why those behind the move

the convention are particularly pleased,
for the slavery convention is merely the
preliminary step in their program. which

Not a Stalking Horse.
Not that the slavery convention is a
stalking horse, subterfuge unnecessary
except to conceal the ultimate purpose.
1t Is framed to deal with an evil which
still exists, as it has from earliest times.
Slave hunters still stalk their prey.
slave caravans still plod tieir dismal

moved to the jail at Newcastle, Wag-
goner had indicated to officials earlier
