Another international crisis has been averted.
There viii be no war over the green silk pajamas Of
Governor Huey p. Long Of Louisiana.
Whether or not pajanas are under any circurn-
stances correct wear for receiving officers OF another
naval power may have to be thrashed out at Geneva,
cations, here or abroad.
Governor Long a~pologized for his green pajamss,
right or wrong, and the German commander Of the
cruiser Emden. now off New Orleans. has let the
matter drop for the nonce.
Lothar Won Arnauld de Ia Periere. commander Of
the Ennden. paid an official visit to Governor Long at
his apartment in New Orleans and the governor, be-
ing in his silk pajamss at tire time. received him that
way, little realizing that a thing Ike that might even
mean war.
Governor Long welcomed the German naval Of
ficer, wished him a pleasant stay. gave him the keys
to the commonwealth and considered the incident
closed. He knew the German navy wasn't what it
used to be but he didn't think It so weak that It
could be upset by a pair Of pajamas.
s
The commander left without showing any visible
Indignation. He may have at first thought green
pajanas the official state diplomatic costume in New
Orleans.
1t was when he made inquiries and found that bath
robes. night-gowns, Indian blankets. o~ne-piece bath
ing suits and pajamas Of all sizes. regardless Of cut
and shade, were in no American book Of etiquette
as the prescribed attire for public men receiving Of

He cabled the news to Berlin. which shook with
reverberations for twenty-four hours. President
Hindenburg dropped a stein on his foot as he got the
news, and sensitive German naval authorities regis
tered their highest blood-pressure since Jutland-
Washington heard the news and President Hoover
reeled perceptibly and took two reefs in his hair shirt
at the very idea Of having his troubles added to by an
international crisis over a pair Of green pajamas.
ss
The President knew that If something wasn't done
quickly he would be blamed by the Democrats for the
incident, and that in due time he would even be
accused Of being the man who had worn the pa
jamas.
Secretary stinlson got the news in London and
took to bed with what was described as a severe cold.
II locked pretty bad.
Then Governor Long, not wishing TO 20 down IN
history as the man who had caused the World War
To End Green Silk Pajamas. hoped into a boat
went out to the German cruiser, fully dressed. and
presented his apologies.
He explained that during the New Orleans Mardi
Gras season green pajamas are considered formal
attire. assured the commander that some Of his best
friends were Germans and made a frank confession
that green wasn't his f~avorite color anyhow.
Again world peace has been preserved! Phewi

with a possible ultimate elimination OF
some part-time classes and even OF
some portable school buildings II an
entirely different system of kinder

Mrs. Rafter that Washington schools

Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, board
member, declared that she has con-

city is striving to reach better standards
in its schools and have, In fact, at
tempted to reach the very standard
which Washington had been able to
reach in its kindergartens, the District,

agreed with Mrs. Doyle and added that

E'REGULARS" SCORE
IN TAXICAB FIGHT
Thirty ive-Cent" Driver Fined
for Picking Up Passenger

victory at Police Court today in their
fight against the "35 centers." when

$25 for unlicensed hacking after he mad
picked up passenger on the street upon
the completion of a call.

take her to the Episcopal Eye, Ear aEG

destination, She told the driver that he
was under arrest. They continued to
the Traffic Bureau. where collateral was

of force centers at the center of the
earth's mass. But 1t extends only in
the three observable dimensions COM
prehensible to the human mind.
In the same way the sun and every
other heavenly body has its own space,
or field of force. These spaces intrude
upon each other, so that their phenom-
ena are intermingled.
Draper next considers this space
pertaining to bodies in which mani
festations of force. of which matter is
one, take place as itself, moving with
the velocity of light toward the center
of mass of the manifestation of force
which is responsible for the existence of
the space itself. The space would not
exist If there were no gravitational
force acting through It, Hence pre-
sun1ably 1t becomes nothing in the path
of the manifestation of force, moving
with the velocity of light. Or, 1t moves,
as time, toward its own center.
ITO give meaning to the physical
universe as we are able to perceive it."
says Draper, lit must be accepted that
space, time, force and matter are in
separable from one another. When We
attach meaning to any one of the four
terms certain concepts with regard to
the three others must be accepted and
the significance attaching to each OF
the four terms will be centered In some
material body"
