THERE'S A LOT IN LIFE THAT WE
MICS
CBy BRUCE CATION

The small-town lad who thinks that life
would be just fine if he could only get to
the bright lights of Broadway ought to
have a little talk with Captain Amander
o. HAYES. who has just retired after spend
ing a number of years in charge of the
West 47th street police station in New
York City.
In that job, Captain Hayes was more or
less the aoverseer of Broadway. The bright
lights section was his bailiwick, and every
thing that happened in the busiest and
most famous play spot in America was his
business; and when he retired he re-
marked that nothing much ever hap
pened to me-"
His lob, in fact, had been rather dull,
and all things considered Captain Hayes
was rather glad to get out of its mOnoto-
nous routine.
Nothing much happens to any police
man, when you think it over" he added.
"They just have tough hours and do what
they're told"
And right there, it would seem, there is
an ironic' little commentary on the nature
of romance and adventure.
Nothing much ever happened to me-
is the complaint of every restless lad who
is tied down by prOsaic job which he
would like to swap for bit of real adven-
ture. The Had who follows plOw or drives
a bakery wagon or files invoices in a
freight teffice or hammers a typewriter
nine hours a day generally has the notion
that romance is something he could get
hold of very nicely if only he could slip
into the right kind of job.
But romance and adventure are, after
all, the commonest things in the world,
The only trouble is that most OF us fail to
recognize them when we see them. Cap
tain Hayes, supervising Broadway's bright
lights for year upon year, finds his job
boring and monotonous; nothing ever hap
pened to him. or to any other cop, ne says,
and he's glad to be out of it.
And so it goes. An especially daring
airmaiE pilot who pioneered in the early
days of night flying over the Alleghenies,
when that particular job was about the
riskiest, and most adventuresOme thing
aviation had to offer, told an interviewer
that the main trouble with it was that it
was hare, for him to keep awake on those
"monotSnous" night flights over the
mountains Like Captain Hayes and most
other men who have faced real adventure,
he wasdnot in the least impressed by the
glamour of his calling.
Adventure is a thing we all long for.
Recognizing it when we find it seems to
be something else again.

Peoples Forum

the fact that the Army is so scat.
tered that reasonable peace train
ling is denied it.
in the United States: 120 gar
risoned army posts with an aver
age of less than 700 men; about
thirty odd forts or posts with sol
der or civilian caretakers; two
dozen depots and arsenals and
five general hospitals. Some two
dozen posts in the insular posses
Isions. In all, more than 200 army
posts for the regular army of 120,-
900. The huge unnecessary cost
to the taxpayer to maintain such
a number of towns and villages,
laid out in semi-park manner, each
with its utilities, roads and ware
houses, may be the taxpayers
tragedy.
''The tragedy for the Army is
that such distribution prohibits
reasonably efficient training with
troops. For example. take among
the garrisoned posts the ten Army
postgraduate service schools al
widely separated places. With
these at one place-an army train
ing or educational center-theo.
retical and practical training with
all arms could proceed in a mod
ern way. Such an arrangement,
and the rest of the troops brought
into a dozen or so large stations,
wuld make an immensely better
army costing immensely less.
"The present locations for army
posts were not made, as some sup.
pose, at the request of Congress
men or of men in public life.
Posts located by the Army in BY
gone days have, no doubt, been
kept up by the influence of Con-
gressmen with local interest. II
seems to have become a habit with
many public men, possibly sort
of competition or game. A small
army post has no real effect on
the business life of state. II
statesmen would agree to "ten-
year holiday" in using influence
to keep up small army posts, great
changes would result. With mod
ern transportation, borders are
protected by dispatching troops
from suitable centers, and not by
scattered army detachments acting
as state constabulary. Just as
seacoasts are protected by distant
fleets, with auxiliaries, out at sea
and not by numerous small harbor
garrisons. Modern war is a fast
and furious game. and the Army
should not be denied facilities
for good training. Summer train
ing of the Guard and civilian COM
ponents of the Army would not
suffer"

interest is being shown among the
pupils in connection with the pro-
posed play. Daily practices and

polished Pebbles" it is shown,
is especially suitable for pupils of
junior-high school ages, and the
music has been written in a key
fitted to their voices.
1t is stated that while the story
is to be enacted by children, it
will nevertheless afford much
pleasure to the adult audience.
In addition to the two acts of
the operetta, two mixed choruses
will be heard. The contrasting
costumes to be worn by the boys
and girls will lend much to the eff
fectiveness Of each chorus.

OW0OOOOOOOOOW
THE REAL TRAGEDY OF THE
ARMY

Major General William C. Riv-
ers, U. S. A.. (retired), who is
visiting in Key West, had the fol-
lowing letter published recently in
the New York Herald Tribune:
"Cadet and officer fifty years,
Il desire to comment on the recent
letters in your columns from s'Of-
ficer" and from "Over Forty-two
Years Service" The writer's find
in present service restrictions and
pay reductions desire on the part
of Congress to prosecute officers
individually, and to hector and
pinch the. personnel, to the dam
age of morale. The last-named
writer feels that Congress has
shown bad faith in reducing the
pay of retired officers; and he be-
lieves that when good tines
come there will be wholesale resig-
nations of younger officers, who
are deeply thinking.
81 believe that in my expert
ence, including the new 15 per-
cent cut in all Federal salaries.
Congress has been generous to the
Officers of the services. AT pres
ent it is merely a question of the
lack of money to carry on the
normal pay schedules. The
younger officers, on whom all
agree that hardships will fall, are
indeed thinking deeply, thinking
they are glad they are in the serv-
ices. and glad they did not resign
in the boom days, as some of their
comrades did.
81 believe the general feeling in
the services is one of hearty sup
port of the presidents plans; a
desire to share whatever discom-
forts are necessary in order to
balance the budget; and a de-
termination to make the best of
the situation and see that the
morale does not suffer. There is
no breach of contract in reducing
the pay of retired officers, who,
when they decided to make the
Army or Navy their career, took
whatever risks about retired pay
the finances of the nation as a
whole might render unavoidable.
"There is tragedy in the Army,
but it does not lie in the emer-
|gency reduction of the already
modest stipend of the officers.
The tragedy of the Army is the
peace-time seniority system of pro-
motion of officers, with the lack
of any broad and scientific meth
od-with reasonable publicity fea-
tures-of selection of colonies to
be brigadiers, and of brigadiers to
be major generals; combined with

PASSOVER FEAST
OF EMANCIPATION
STARTS TONIGHT
EVENT IS INDEPENDENCE
DAY OF JEWS; uNLEAvEN.
ED BREAD EATEN DURING
OBSERVANCE PERIOD

Passover (Pesach) is the fes-
tival observed by the Jew in the
fearly Spring in commemoration of
the Exodus from Egypt. The
event begins this evening and is
observed for eight days by
Orthodox Jews, and for seven
days by Reform Jews. In
ancient Jewish life, it was the first
l,of the three Pilgrim festivals
upon which every male Jew was
Required to present himself in per-
son at the central sanctuary in
Jerusalem.
Although the Passover has GER
tain features in common with the
universal Spring festival, it is its
historical significance which gives
it lasting vitality. 1t is the great
Independence Day of the Jew, the
first event in his national history.
Ian event which becomes funda-
mental in all his thinking, as evil
denced by the frequent reference
to the great deliverance from
Egypt.
The festival is ushered in by a
family service, called the Seder,
at which certain symbolic cere-
monies are observed. Each par
ticipant is required to drink foar
cups of wine, in memory of the
four promises made by the Etern.
al to redeem Israel from bondage.
On the table are the unleavened
cakes (Matzoth), the shin-bone of
a lamb Breasted on the coalsl,
commemorative of the Paschal
sacrifice. a roasted egg; mixture
of apples and nuts (Charoseth)
to symbolic the mortar with
which the Egyptians made bitter
the lives of our ancestors" and
bitter herds (Moror). reminiscent
of the unhappy days in Egypt. In
song and story. the tale of the OPP
preston and the deliverance is re-
hearsed. Psalms of thanksgiving

SAILING VESSEL
RIDESOUT STORM
IDA M. MOORE ENCOUNTER.
ED HEAVY WINDS EN-
ROUTE TO ToRTUGAS q
CONTRIBUTED

While other sailing craft were
either losing their sails or having
them whipped to ribbons. the Ida
M. Moore rode out the storm of
last week with perfect ease under
the expert handling of Capt. Jack
La Pierre.
A party had chartered his boat
for a weeks trip to Dry Tortugas,
and they say that every minute of
the trip was a pleasure and that
even during the storm they suf-
fered not the slightest incon-
venience.
The storm struck suddenly and
with great violence but the sails
were lowered just before the blow.
The sea had been of CLASSY
smoothness and the captain had
expected the storm. Suddenly, a
line of clouds appeared in the
northwest and propelled by a 60
mile wind, leaped at the little ship.
1t was what in Texas is called a
''norther" and the temperature
dropped Immediately. With the
auxiliary motor they ran before
the storm for about 80 miles and
anchored just south of Marquesas,
sailing into port the next morning.
The captain and crew evidently
knew their business as several
boats were blown into the Gulf
Stream or lost their sails during
the time. They have had much
experience in the Bahamas as has
Mr.. Dudley. who was a member
of the party.
