Need More Skepticism
NTHEN one recalls the multitude

IA
w of changes and innovations
which we have made, even during
the last generation, some problems
that perpleX us are explained more
easily, if not solved.
The auto forced us not only to
construct new highway system, but
line it with traffic lights and cops.
The movie has caused a complete
revolution in the theatrical business,
while the monograph and radio
have done no less in music.
Electric refrigerators, vacuum
cleaners, washing machines and
delicatesSens have converted the old
fashioned home into an apartment.
Almost overnight, we have become a
nation of clubs, corporations and
combines, and as though that were
not enough, we must needs adopt
the eighteenth amendment and be-
come a nation of speakeaSies.
Under such circumstances, is it
astonishing that some of our city
governments should be succumDing
to organized vice and corruption,
that our national legislature should
take farm relief as an excuse for
passing an unconscionable tariff bill,
that major crimes should increase,
while our peace officers run down
Speeders and pint-pocket peddlers,
or that there should be a conflict Of
opinion as to- what is the matter?
No doubt fhoro ora O
tical remedies we might apply with
good results, but, by and large, the
thing we need most is faith in hui
man character, a realization that
time is required to complete the job
we have undertaken, and, above all
else, a certain amount Of skepCicism
toward drives, crusades, reforms and
other half-baked schemes to right
the situation without effort or delay.

Disc

UNFORTUNATELY, Pluto is Sc
~ far away that it does not show
up in the telescope as a disc, as dc
the other planets, but merely ap-
pears as a point of light.
Slipher points out that at the
same distance it would be impossible
to make out the disc Of Mars. Mars
is about half the diameter of the
earth. It's diameter is approximate
ly 1920 miles.
Careful visual observations have
not recognized the disc of Planet a,
Slipher states, although on few
favorable occasions it has appeared
to show not quite the same type OF
image as the equally faint stars.
But how large the disc may be
and escape detection remains to be
determined, because the objects
faintness doubtless raises the size OF
minimum detachable disc.
Some experiments are planned
to throw light on this question"
Slipher is quite positive, however,
hat its appearance is neither what
could be expected of comet nor
what could be expected Of one OF
the known asteroids.
Concerning the nature of this
object, it is of record that the long
est exposures with the reflector by
Lampland and the repeated visual
observations with the refractor by
E. G. Slipher and myself have re-
vealed no cometary features about
the object.
Besides, comets have been seen
at nothing like this distance from
the sun.

outshine a hundred-fold the largest
of the asteroids, Ceres diameter 48O

WEST vIRGINIA'S STATEHOOD
June 20

WEST vIRGINIA'S STATEHOOD
June 20
ON June 20, 1868, the state OF
" West Virginia was admitted to
the Union. The act of admission,
which was to take effect upon the
insertion of a clause providing for
the gradual emancipation of slaves,
was approved by President Lincoln
the previous year.
During the Civil war large part
of the population of the state was
in arms and more than $4,000 men
were furnished to the Federal army.
On Feb. 8, 1865, slavery was abol-
ished entirely. in advance of the
adoption Of the thirteenth amend
ment.
When the Confederate soldiers re-
turned to the southern and eastern
counties, it was feared that the Re-
publican control of the state would
be lost.
Accordingly, an amendment was
added to the Constitution dis
franchising all who had given aid
to the Confederacy after June, 1851.
In 1869 the number of voters
totaled $4,000 and the diSfranchiSed
about $4,000. BY a compromise.
franchise for political offenders and
the Negro was granted in 1871. A
year later a new Constitution went
into force.

COMMANDER BYRD gets his
~ third rouSing reception in
New York.
The first occurred when he re-
turned from the north pole, and
the second after he had flown across
the Atlantic.
He deserves every whistle-toot

He is the type of man who ought
to be honored for the sake of our

But, and making allowance for
all that, one can not help recall

How Dry Is Hoover?

That generous statement which the Presi-
dent made after Dwight Morrow's sweeping victory
in the New Jersey senatorial primary, pedging ad-
mnstration support to Morrow in the November cleo
ton
1t was generous because the administration is dry
and Morrow running prohibition repeal plat
u against Hoover's friend. Representative Fort
md it was as unusual as it was generous Not
even Secretary of Labor Davis, member of the
Presidents official family got such White House
statement after his victory in the Pennsylvania
senatorial primary
The implications of Hoover'S suddenly enthusiastic
support of prominent prohibition repeal candidate
are not clear.
In his speech of acceptance the President said
IT do not favor repeal" and added that modification
woul be notification of the Constitution Obviously
that view is at the opposite extreme from Morrow's
election crusade for repeal.
Does this mean that the President at last is be-
ginning to doubt the wisdom of the experiment. which
hitherto he has supported so valianty?
This question recalls the recent Boston speech by
Chairman Wickersham of the Hoover law enforce
ment commission a speech with which the President
under ordinary circumstances would be acquainted
in advance. Wickersham favored modification and
praised the British non-prohibiton system of liquor
control

bition today?

Outfit
Described by
FashiOnist
By Wilma La Vile

Everybody Is interested these
days in the correct type of hat
to wear with country clothes
and with the type of summer
clothes that we wear most
anywhere all day long.
Fortunately. this happens to
be the most interesting summer
in the way of hats that we have
had for some time. There are
many very attractive types, so
many, in fact. that every one
of us can find several exceed.
ingly becoming.
News from Paris tells us that
over there many smart women
are wearing hats of milan in
medium or rather large shapes,
always simply trimmed with a
ribbon or velvet band. And,
of course, as fashions there and
in America appear at practi-
cally the same time, we find
that Washington stores are
showing the same types.
We are Sketching one today
of larger medium size with black
velvet, suitable to wear in town
for spectator sports and for al
most any country wear. Another
variety is the hat of unusual
straw either of open weave or
flat and coarse, somewhat like
a mans straw hat, or OF Pan.
ANA. Sailors are shown in this
type straw but Washington
women are slow to adopt them.
We see more often, the cloche
type with dropping brim which
shades the face. These rough
Straws may be in natural col.
orS or in paStels to match or
harmonic with your costume.
They are always simply trimmed
with a groSgrain band though it
is permissible for the band to be
folded or twisted in an inter.
esting manner. The rough straw
we are Sketching is in natural
color with a plated groSgrain
band OF orange and yellow.
The small hat sketched is of
stitched ribbon and it's called
the Luggage Hat" because it's
easily packed and comes out
after a hard trip as fresh as
it went into your suit case. 1t
comes in several shapes but we
choose the beret because it is
so very popular right now.
No discussion of summer hats
is complete without mention of
the stitched fabrics, for if you
count your fashions you will
see a large percentage of mart
women wearing them for all
daytime occasions. They are
more often of silk crepe or
linen, though Shantung and
georgette sometimes appear in
these smart stitched versions.
All of these hats must be
chosen, Of course, to harmonic
with the costume, in color and
in degree Of formality, though
a neutral straw will go with
almost anything. incidentally,
all Of these hats are medium
or low priced.
