Runko Blessings. ,,

With all the warnings that have been
given about the risk of letting strangers
handle money In any form or for any
purpose, the tricksters seem to find lit
tie trouble in making victims. There
are many forms of the trick of ex-
changing valueless for valuable pack

being worked. The latest case is that

The Automobile Show.

Washington'S big annual automobile
show is reaching the halfway mark,
and if the attendance so far is any
criterion, all records will be broken by
the end of the week. 1t has often been
said that when a person has seen one
exhibit he has seen them all, but crowds
at the shows in New York, Chicago and
Washington increase instead of diminish
year by year, and interest is keener
than ever. From ten o'clock in the
morning, when the Auditorium opens
its doors, until closing time at night a
constantly milling crowd seeks to view
its favorite cars and if attendance rec
ords are broken it is likely that selling
records will also go by the board.
Despite the recent stock market crash
the automobile industry is facing a
bright year. The motor car is now ac-
cepted as a necessity. Families which
in the past believed that two or more
cars was a sign of insufferable high
hattedness" are realizing that the ex-
igencies of present-day life demand
greater ease Of transportation and sales
are jumping accordingly. Even with
only two in a family there are frequent
cases of both husband and wife owning
and driving cars. The old days when
hubby drove OF to work early in the
morning leaving friend wife to depend
on whatever means Of city transporta-
ton were available would seem to be
definitely on the wane. Hubby drives

duties are done, the better half" gets
out her mittenS, buttons up her coat,
and of she goes.
Such marked improvement has taken
place in the construction of automobiles
during the past decade. that any car at
the show will give satisfactory perform
ance over a long period. After all,
motorist wants an automobile to take
him there and bring him back" That
is his purpose in buying private trans
portation. From the cheapest to the
most expensive, every car on the market
today viii do exactly that. Naturally
the automobile is not perfect. And it
probably never viii be. But for day.
in-and-day-out satisfaction it has
created its own niche in the lives of the
civilized peoples Of the world.
To Washington dealers who each year
stage fine exhibit at considerable ex-
pense must go a great deal of credit.
The shows here, although smaller, COM
pare favorably with the great New York
and Chicago spectacles. Every WASH
ingtonian is a potential motor car buyer
and as such it behooves him to keep
abreast Of the times by visit this week
to the Auditorium.

that Alba is one of the most popular
and democratic men in Spain.
1t was only a few days ago that
Primo de Rivera indicated his intention
to hold on unless and until the heads
Of the army and navy desired his re-
tirement. This statement was evidently
an invitation to the military and naval
chiefs to declare their support of the
premier. They remained silent did
this was apparently accepted as tanta-
mount to condemnation.
De Rivera was called to power--some
say he called himself to power-in
1928 when Spain was in a desperate
situation. Intrigues were rife and a
spirit of revolt prevailed. The Span
ish military campaign in Morocco HAD
gone badly. with heavy losses and dis
graceful defeats. Spain trembled on
the brink of political chaos. De Rivera
prevented disaster. He took hold with
a strong hand and ruled ruthlesSly. It
is striking fact that Gen. Berenguer,
now his successor, was one of his first
victims. Berenguer had been high COM
missioner. in Morocco, and after De
Rivera's accession to supreme power he
was impeached by the Senate on the
ground of being responsible for a costly
military defeat, was convicted, removed
from the active list of the army and
sentenced to six months imprisonment
which was later committed. Yet now,
upon his retirement, De Rivera, through
his public statement. says of his sue
cessor: II am highly pleased with the
selection, for there is no man better
fitted for the place"
With this graceful gesture De Rivera
passes from the stage But perhaps
only for while. Though he says that
his health is impaired, diplomatic
illness" without doubt, he may be ex-
pected to seek restoration to the ONCE
which he has held for six years and in
which he has undoubtedly saved Spain
from grave reactions.

Peaceful Revolution in Spain.

A change of ministry at Madrid has
been effected quietly, although it is
practically revolution. Premier Primo
de Rivera, dictator since 1928, has
rendered his resignation, which has
been accepted, and the King has named
Gen. Damaso Berenguer as his sue
cessor. De Rivera himself proclaims
his own retirement and that of his
cabinet. His successor, long his arch
enemy, proceeds with the building Of
new ministry, his first selection being

Little Art Gallery
Is Community Aid
From the Des MOinss rribune-capital.

From the Des Moines Tribune Capital.
An Eastern art critic has given high
praise to the ''unpretentioSneSs the
practically, the undaunted enthusiasm
with which Edward Rowan has made
the Little Art Gallery of Cedar Rapids
useiul to the people and helpful to the
creative artists"
The secret of the Little Gallery's sue
cess Is partly revealed as the critic con-
tinues:
For it is not the purpose of the Little
Gallery to be merely a pleasant orna-
ment in the life of Cedar Rapids. Its
management is thoroughly awake to the
advantages OF the artists and the COM
munity to be derived through the pur-
chase OF paintings, sculpture and prints. !"
The Little Gallery was established
only q year or two ago as an expert
ment by national federation of artists
ana art enthusiasts. 1t was opened in
Ceoar RAPIDS as a representative Mid
western city having a representative po-
tentlal interest in art. But it is some
, tnlng more than gallery; it is a civic
lnSClJutlon, virile enterprise, and as
such has become q part of the lives
OF the cltizens. Mr.. Rowan has, without
doubt, Seen a principal factor in its
success. He did not wait for the people
TO come to the gallery; instead he took
II TO them. He has talked most inter-
eStingly about artists and their works
before civic clubs. schools and Women's
organizations and has made art living
thing Tor his hearers. He has encour-
aged timid patrons, developed their
tastes and beautified their homes with
MS suggestions as to paintings and
sculpture.
The art profession has long had q
reputation for being q pecuniary fail
0re. The Little Gallery's theory is that
pOrtionately with the interest which
can be aroused. The mutually of the
enterprise guarantees culture to the
community and stimulation to the artis-
TIC genius. 1t is to be hoped that the
Little Gallery's success will bring many

Safety Zones and CrOsswalks.

z. d. Shaw, secretary of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association.
has written the Commissioners suggest
ing the need Of more safety zones on
Connecticut avenue, one of the main
arteries Of the city, carrying heavy
volume of traflc. In his letter Mr..
Shaw points out that at the present
time there is lack of uniformity in the
creation of zones and that both pedes-
TRANS and motorists are confused. In
the snow and ice at this time of the
year Mr.. Shaw contends that a real
trafhc hazard is created.
Mr.. Shaw's point is well taken. but
he could 60 even further and suggest
that as soon as the weather breaks Q
general ''paint-up" campaign for all
safety zones might be inaugurated by
the District. Safety zones are certainly
far more important than crosswalks
and yet more attention seems to be paid
to the latter, even to the extent of sub
shutting small metal buttons for the
white paint Few, II any, safety zones
are marked by buttons. ...,
In the Spring when the general re-
furnishing of the city takes place, it
is to be hoped that either buttons or
fresh paint will be used with a free
hand to mark on safety zones. II
both zones and crosswalks cannot
be treated at the same time the cross
walks should be allowed temporarily to
suffer neglect. No protection whatever
is offered the pedestrian in crosswalk;
what little protection he has he must
seek in safety zone. The answer is
too obvious to require further comment.

the second case the gypsies took the
money and the parcel away with q
promise to return them later, which, of
course, they did not do.
The found pocketbook trick has been
worked over and over again, and with
publicity in most cases-in some the
victims are too ashamed of themselves
to make report. There is no end to
the swindling. Just so the green goods
game was played for years until finally
one of the intended victims, well aware
of the trick of substituting packages,
shot the swindler to death. The case
was widely advertised and thencefor-
ward the crooks dropped green goods"
as too dangerous.
Matching pennies with strangers and
all other forms of gambling diversions
have cost the innocent participants
heavily. Incredible faith in the honesty
of wholly unknown people is manifested
by thousands Of supposedly intelligent
folks. This gypsy money blessing trick
is as old as the hills. The sharpers
play on the superstitions and the
avarice Of their victims. They wheedle
them into the most amazing acts of
confidence
The keeping of money in bulk in any
quantity in the home, or on the per-
son, is a bad practice. Cash should be
put into the bank in safes or savings
deposits. A bank can make a more
effective blessing upon property of this
kind than any stranger. But this les
son of the safe keeping of savings is a
hard one to learn. The woman who
lost $7o0 to a gypsy will perhaps now
start an account in a bank. real one
and not one of the 'Kingfsh" type.

his robust spirit, of how he braved

The Khan was all-powerful in Okla

was at its f1ercest. Col. Hurley, born

day when the question was a red-hot

Public Doubts That Lawyers
Can Danish Old Blackstone

America is unable to accept without
protest the action Of the Law School
at Northwestern University in an
nouncing that Blackstone should be
banished as obsolete While it Is ad-
mitted that the multiplicity of statutes
and commissions with judicial fIinc-
tons has changed conditions, it is
maintained that the old masters princi-
pies stil furnish the background OF
the law.
with William Shakespeare put upon
the shelf Of the American stage" the
Pasadena Star News sees another
movement to dethrone a traditional
master in his field" That paper makes
the protest: "BlackStone's celebrated
Commentaries may be out of date
or not up to date-in some particulars.
But 1t should be remembered that
American law is based upon English
law, and that the bases of English and
American law are identical, and that
the principles Of law, laid down so
admirably and so learnedly by Sir Will
liam Blackstone, are principles which
DO not become stale with age or obso-
lete In their application in the admin
lstration OF justice between man and
man, In all generations. Methods and
ways and means of applying law change
with the changing customs and devices
OF successive generations. But the
fundamental principles of law are as
abiding, in perpetuity, as the Ten Com
mandments."
Quoting Dean Green of Northwestern
to the effect that "Blackstone'S day is
not our day, and his law cannot be
our law" the Cincinnati Times-Star
agrees, with reservations, stating: LAS
matter OF fact, for a long time his
law has not been law for the English
courts. His Commentaries always were
more OF a handbook for the lay reader
than text book for lawyers. There
were some things he never graSped, and
ne has been called good deal Of an
old Tory; but the clearneSs of his ex-
position, the charm of his style and
his historical sense have made his work
unrivaled in its sphere. For genera
tons after it has lost its ancient au-
thority in our courts, 1t will help shape
political thinking and legislative philos-
ophy. The present age, as Dean Green
points out, has problems unknown to
the British commentator, and ways of
solving them that would be abhorrent
to him. To a degree public boards
and commissions are taking the place
of courts. Property rights in the air,
which Blackstone thought reached as
far as to Heaven itself, nave been modi-
fed by the airplane and radio Some
