There is a love story strong

lies in the bitterness of the two
factions and the expression OF
that bitterness in q hard. realistic,

Charles Evans Hughes is chief justice Of the su-

ties marked his induction into the post vacated by
William Howard Tart. There are So decisions In the
hands Of the old members Of the court for delivery.
These will cover a wide range OF subjects and among
them may be rulings on the validity Of the Hoch-
Smith resolution which authorized the interstate
commerce commission to make rate reductions TO help
agriculture in distress.
It is announced the new chief justice is not ex-
pected to participate in the cases argued by his son
as solicitor general Of the United States. There are
Sc cases pending in which the chief justice Is ex-
pected to disqualitfy himself. He is not expected TO
participate in any Of these cases for the reason that
he was attorney for powerful corporations and inter
ests and had an earning capacity OF 100000 a year
before he was named by President Hoover as the sue
cessor Of the retiring chief justice Of the supreme
court.

The Once Over
THE TRASH CAN o r
BY Il. I. PHILLIPS

The very latest freak movement in America is a
drive to glorify the rubbish can. A New York society
has offered a cash prize Of $500 for the best design
for a municipal trash receptacle that will be a thing
Of beauty and a Joy forever.
The trash can now used In most American COM
is unnecessarily ugly. the society believes. People ig-
more it. The need Of America today Is a rubbish can
that will have st"
The Rubbish Can Beautiful, as it were.
What do you do when you see a trash can on q
street corner today? Does 1t attract you? Do you
feel drawn to it? Are you moved by an urge to
know it better? Frankly, do you give a whoop about
it. one way or the other2
Probably not. The reaction Of the average Ameri-
can to the present-day rubbish can is that it is Just
a rubbish can, severely plain and coldly uninterest-
ing. If there is one thing toward which a person
finds it difficult to show any tenderness 1t Is a trash
can. You never hear of anybody looking at a rubbish
can and murmuring. "Oh. isn't 1t a dear? I love I'll"
Or, How chici"
Now. at last, the matter has been taken up by a
group of serious rubbish-can thinkers. a rubbish-can
cult, a sort Of Society to Give the Trash Can It's Place
in the Scheme OF Things.
The organization behind the drive sounds a clarion
call for the Trash Can Beautiful. 1t must be of an
artistic design and color scheme. pleasing to the eye,
and it must be designed to be attached to a pole or
tree, instead Of standing on the sidewalk.
1t must be something you will have TO look at twice
before deciding whether It is a trash can, a flower
box. a japanese vase or some kind Of decoration for
a Mardi Gras. Under no circumstances must it look
primarily like a rubbish can.
And there must be a slogan with the winning de-
sign.
Something like The Trash Can You Love to
Touchl"
Or TRY the Rubbish Can Beautiful. II Satisfies"
Or possibly THE Trash Can With That Certain
Something"
And be prepared for a movement to beautify the
letter-box, make the fire-alarm more ornamental and

the arts would like to have in front Of his home.
