Need for Quick Justice.

United States Attorney Rover will
perform valuable service to this COM
munity If he uses all the means at his
disposal to expedite the preliminaries
and bring TO early trial the three men
now facing charges of murder in con-
nection with the death of Prohibition
Agent York, two weeks ago.
Within a few days after this ex-
traordinarily cold-blooded crime the
police, by quick work, had rounded up
three suspects. From two of them has
been obtained a partial confession. All
are now awaiting disposal of the case
By the grand jury.
The grand jury has been engaged in
important work in connection with the
p. II, Smith Co, and the time thus
consumed could easily account for the
Nslay so fer In the York cases But
already legal obstacles have been placed,
as usual, In the way OF the grand
Jury's action. Defense counsel have
fled motion for suppression of certain
evidence collected by the police in their
investigation of he murder. Before
the presentments may be made TO the
grand jury there must first be hearings
on the motion TO suppress III. evidence.
This motion may be reached as early as
next Saturday. Again, it may ne delayed
IN coming up for hearing, and after
the argument The decision on the mo-
ton must be made
1t is alleged that the automobile
suspected Of being the machine followed
into the alley by Agent York when he
met hts death, was seized from garage
by police, who took it to a place nearby
and photographed it, such photographs
constituting certain evidence. The mo-
ton to suppress the evidence is founded
on an allegation of illegal seizure Of the
Car.
The defendant IL entitled TO his
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-04-27

rights. His counsel is bound by his re-
sponsibility to take every legal step in
his defense. These do not lrk the lay
man who watches the tedious processes
of the law. But the delays in disposing
of the various obstacles and contentious
do irk him and leave him with disre-
spect for law and the course of justice.
The criminal docketS are congested
and the flow of justice through the
courts in the District is impeded by
log jam that is disgraceful. But there
are short cuts around this jam that
the United States attorney may take,
and in such cases as the York murder
the short cuts should be utilized. In the
ordinary course of events it is conceiv-
able that months may elapse before the
suspects in the York murder will be
brought to trial. BY that time the name
of York and the manner of his death
will have become vague and uncertain
memories in the mind OF the public.
Dexter Dayton, confessed murderer
was indicted IN October. His case Is
vet to be tried. Suppose Dayton is an
innocent man. What right does any
people possess to keep him behind the
bars this long awaiting his day in
court?
The York murder is fresh il The pub
lie mind now. The guilty man should
be punished before his crime has been
forgotten.

necessary at the three quarter stage, It
would appear extremely likely that
many more residents will need similar
admonitions before the roll is completed.
And quite as likely that a taste Of the
Governments power to compel answers
will, in some cases, be the only means
to carry out desirable program.
1t is almost impossible to understand
what motives would cause a person to
decline to cooperate. The Government
is iE no sense prying into the affairs
of citizens of the United States. All in
formation given is confidential and
person need have no fear that his
answers. should they incriminate him,
will be used by Uncle Sam to prosecute
him. In this respect 1t is comparable
to the Mediterranean fruit fly quaran-
tine in Florida conducted by the De-
partment of Agriculture, where every
single piece of baggage coming into
or going out of the State was subject
to rigid inspection for the presence of
tabooed fruit, but If, IN the inspection,
violations of the prohibition law were
noticed. hands of" policy was
adopted.
In some cases the enumerators are
perhaps at fault. 1t is nothing par
ticularly Unusual for a person who is
unexpectedly given a little authority
to be gruff, overbearing and dis
courteous in his attitude. But this type
of enumerator is rare and citizens who
are unfortunate enough to encounter
one should realize that after all it is
the Government seeking information and
not the temporary agent of the Gov
eminent. The census must be taken
and every citizen should cooperate to
the best of lhs ability.

Sensible Dress for Women.

Far be it from mere. though OBJ
servant and admiring, man to withhold
approval from the aims and objects
Of the Sensible Dress Society" Just
formed at Liverpool It's object Is TO
resist the introduction Of long skirts
and ugly, inconvenient fashions which
designers may be tempted to impose
on modern women. The organization
Is the outcome of widespread disap-
prevail in England Of the reintroduc-
ton Of long skirts for evening wear.
and the fear that they will inevitably
extend to day attire.
Promoters Of the Sensible Dress So
ciety" declare that the short skirt
movement originated In Great Britain
with the emancipation Of women dur
ing the war. It is contended that the
adoption Of the fashion throughout the
world is proof Of women's appreciation
of their neither freedom, which demon
strably conduces to artistry, grace,
hygiene and comfort.
It was recently stated in tariff de-
bate on the floor Of the United States
Senate that. whereas in days not 50
long ago it took a Woodworking sheep
a whole year to grow enough material
for a woman's dress, single humble
silkworm could do the trick in these
times. The British short-skirters argue
that women with moderate means
would be unable to purchase as many
dresses as they do now, were they to
trail in the dust as of yore. so that
material manufacturers would not bene-
fit so greatly as they think by the
restoration of long skirts.
A male wag has suggested that one
of the commonest effects of curtailed
skirts is to make the women look
shorter and the men look longer. Lives
there a man with gaze so astigmatized
as not to admit that the American
scene-the street scene in particular
is far more esthetic and easier to look
upon since fair woman. taking a leaf
out of the high protectionists' note
book, revised her skirts upward?

Bureau of Standards Tests
BY FREDERIC ]. HASKIN.

weathered the experiment in better con-
dition. This experiment has resulted in
q conclusion that the proper proportions
OF chemical constituents Of the best roof
paint are As per cent titanox, IS per
cent white lead, and 90 per cent zinc
oxide. Presence Of too much zinc oxide
seems to account for excessive cracking
in some roof paints.
License Tag Metals.
Along the same lines tests were made
to find the best type OF finish for au-
tonlobile license tags. This Is OF i'm
portance, as experience has shown that
some license tags have peeled and
Clipped so badly that officers have not
been able to decipher the numbers. The
bureau applied an accelerated test in
this case. The accelerated test Is made
by subiecting the article under scrutiny
to conditions of wear and weather, but
in more intense degree. The test is
adjusted so that in a few weeks the eff
feet on the object will be the same that
1t would be under normal conditions
over a much longer period of time. It
was found, in this case, that vanishing
tags, after the backgrounds and letters
have been painted, is undesirable in
that the varnish is likely to peel of,
bringing the enamel paint with it.
There are thousands of miles OF pipe
lines in the United States for gas, oil
and other commodities. The bureau is
at work on experiments to determine
the best type Of coating for these pipes
to retard corrosion and other deterio-
ration.
This gives but a peep into the bu-
reau's laboratories, the merest indica-
ton of the intensive work which is
going on at Uncle Sans great scientific
laboratory continuously. The utmost
skill is bent TO study of problems, on the
one hand, of unitarian practicability
and, on the other, of pure science.

experience. It has to do with the most
vital and intimate things OF life. 1t Is
related to our dearest and most sacred
interests More than any other story or
incident recorded. it brings solution
to the greatest problem that confronts
us. Subtract this incident from the
ANIMAL of human experience and we
shadow every path and leave man in
the midst of uncertainty and render the
tomb an insolvable riddle. In our after
thoughts of what Easter stands for we
are compelled to think of it in terms
of it's relation to our own individual
life. Related, as 1t is, to the glowing
return of springtime, of opening buds
and an earth refreshed and renewed
that speaks of life's renewal beyond the
grave. The churches thronged with
eager and reverent crowds chOirs sing
ing their glad hallelujahs, preachers
proclaiming again the mighty lesson of
the resurrection-all these have their
consistent place in the recognition Of
the day. These in themselves thrill us
with new and freshened enthusiasm,
but when they are past we find our
chief satisfaction in appropriating to
ourselves and our problems the mes
sage Of Him who Joined the pilgrims of
the highway on their lonely walk
Christmas and Easter have a message
that relates to the most vital concerns
of our individual life. Because live,
We shall live also" is a message that
touches you and me in vital way, and
that furnishes the answer to the great
est question that was ever asked. The
passion for life is real; the hope of q
fuller, freer life inheres in every human
breast.
" IT'S life whereof our souls are scant;
More life and fuller that we want"
1t is the answer to this yearning that
Christ gives to men on the highway of
life. He speaks to them in language
they can understand. He enters under
standingly into their innermost thoughts
He submits His own renewed life in
demonstration of the lesson He teaches
He brings Himself within the range of
our thinking. His message is for the
wayfarer that is burdened with an I'M
solved problem.

Unfamiliar with current news. This
seemingly was the situation with the
two pilgrims of the highway as they
went on their journey to their village
home. Even though they were familiar
with recent events, they were bafhed
and confused by them. They had no
comprehension of their large signit1-
canoe. The incident related is one OF
the picturesque touches that constitute
a part of the narrative of the first
Easter day. The whole countryside had
been shocked by the tragic ending OF
career that by its startling deeds OF
service, its amazing affirmationS OF
truth, had gained widespread attention
and popularity. The crucifixion on Good
Friday had seemed to mark the failure
of another great reformer. All adher-
ents had fallen away and great expec-
tations had been shattered. The death
of Jesus, to the minds of a multitude
of men and women, was an unspeakable
calamity. 1t was to many the end of
life that gave promise of liberation
from the hated yoke of Rome. We read
that as the two pilgrims went on their
way they were sad. Presently, third
traveller Joined them and Immediately
entered into their conversation. They
related to the sojourner the events of
recent days, adding, art thou only
stranger In Jerusalem and hast not
known the things which are come to
pass in these days?" From this point
the stranger unfolded to them the ir-
resistible logic of the crucif1xion, max
ing clear to them the purpose of the
ministry of Jesus. 1t was only when
they reached the village Of Emmaus
that the stranger was revealed as none
other than the crucifled and risen
Christ.
This revelation to the sorrowful pill
grims on the highway is one of the
most dramatic and appealing touches of
the resurrection story. The obvious
purpose of it all was to bring the
mighty lesson Of the resurrection within
the range of mans common, everyday
