Country Suffered

Under the old system the
newly elected President and
Vice President did not take the
oath of office until the 4th
of March Of the year following
the November election.
AS a result the country Suf-
fered every four years from a
hold-over Congress which legis-
lated throughout December,
January, February and the
first few days of March after
its. successor had been elected.
This came to be called the
"lame duck session"
The reason why the trainers
Of the Constitution provided
for this hold-over session was
a practical one. In the cox
cart" days of the nation, meth
ods of communication and
means Of travel were vastly
slower than they are today. In
those early days of the Repub-
lie it toek weeks, and in some
cases, months, for the people
in the remote parts of the
United States to learn the re-
suits of a national election, and
even longer for the returns
from the various congressional
districts to be officially deliv-
cred in the Federal city.
In that way lame duck" or
The Washington times., 1933-10-17
Bible and Sword

AS Field Marshal and Com
mander-in-Chief he inspired
the German armies in the
West to heroic sacrifices. When
the defeat came and the
Kaiser and Won Ludendorff
had fled, old Paul stood fast
to save what he could out OF
the universal wreck. And there
he has been ever since. Moth"
ing upsets or daunts him.
It was hard to believe in 1925.
when Paul Won Hindenburg was
called to the presidency that
this arch-priest of the old
monarch would not pull down
the republic. The French pre-
pared for it. The English we're
on edge.
If the Kaiser hadn't fled in
panic and thrown away the
game, he would have had at
his back this old rock of 10y
atty, for Won Hindenburg
doesn't believe in republics.
And today as he crosses over
the divide, he must wonder IN
his honest heart what will be
the fate of his beloved Ger
many under Hitler and the
staggering Nazis. There IS
something CromWellian about
him as he sits with his eyes on
his Bible and his hand on ms
sword. And thinking of old
Paul Won Hindenburg, one
thinks of the lines of the poet
Holland:
God give us men. The time
demands
Strong minds, great hearts,
true faith and willing
hands;
Men whom the lust of office
does not kill;
Men whom the Spoils Of Of.
flee cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and
a will;
Men who have honor; men
who will not lie;
Men who can stand before q
demagogue
And dam his treacherous
batteries without winking;
Tall men, sun-crowned, who
live above the fog
In public duty and in private
thinking.

Lame Duck" Amendment
Makes History
Blu James T. Williams. Jr.-

Constitutional history was
made this week when the first
two sections of the Twentieth
Amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution became effective.
This amendment, generally
known as "the lame duck"
amendment, was ratified in
record-breaking time by the sew
eral States.
It would have been ratified
years ago had Congress been
willing to submit it for the ap-
proval of the States.
Long before Congress was
willing to recommend the
changes for which this amend
ment provides the common
sense of the American people
made them realize the desirable
ity of these changes.
The Twentieth Amendment
changes the date for the in
auguration of the newly elected
President and Vice President
from March 4 to January 20. 1t
changes the time of the annual
convening of Congress from
noon on the first Monday in De-
cember to noon on the third day
of January.
Under the old system, a Con-
greSS elected in November of
one year did not convene un-
til December of the following
year, 13 months after it had
been voted into power.

Luxembourg
When you are next in Europe
and want to escape from the
beaten path, to wander some
where different from the usual
tourist haunts, without having
to travel far, make the short
journey from almost anywhere
in continental Europe to the
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
You will be glad you did so, and
you will be surprised that more
travellers have not discovered
this lovely land that is neither
Latin nor Teutonic but curious
mixture of both. From Germany
come the ruined castles and
the old cities, and from France
come the vineyards with their
purple grapes and the riotous
profusion of roses.
Lovely Old Towns
Luxem bourg should be
reached by the Moselle. At once
we strike the procession of love-
ly old towns, such as Schengen,
Remerschen Wintrange, Remich,
Stadtbredimus, Gre vemacher.
All are in a setting of vine
branches, all are sweet with the
scent of the mignonette. At
grape harvest time, the air is
full of song.
From the banks of the swiftly
flowing Sauer river we find
another world. The Black Ernz
and the White Ernz, two tribu-
taries of the Sauer flow down
from a wonderfully picturesque
and wild region. There is the
Eisling district with it's bould-
ers and titanic walls Of rock
that look like the setting for a
witchers' dance. On the thresh-
hold of EiSling is a quaint old
town. Echternach, famous for
it's dancing procession held after
Easter. All round are old castles
and ruins of medieval towns, so
that the setting is wonderful
one. The old castle of Beaufort
with its grim towers and tur-
rents and old Larochette are
typical Of the Luxembourg scene.
All Of the castles have their own
lgsnds and stocks all have

The Symphony
A Dream Come True

Washngtons dreams of musical organization which would
put equal footing with other cities have at last
true
The National Symphony Orchestra which opened its third
with concert Sunday, has proven delight and
Joy to music lovers of the National Capital
The enthusiasm with which the crowded concert hall
greeted the offerings of the orchestra leaves doubt
the which the city has for the organization developed by
DR.. Hans Kinder.
A finished and accomplished program given which
augurs WELL not only for this season. but well for the
permanence of the symphony
The orchestra has passed through its trying period
The difficulties of organization
There have been times when public enthusiasm the
project waned except the breasts of those who most
actively identified with the orchestras formation.
But may be safely said that the shoals of public
indifference have been passed and the National Symphony
Orchestra is safe in the harbr Of public enthusiasm and

the Brandenburg Gate, Ger

strains of a military band.
Flags snap in the breeze. A
huge old man appears in the
door Of a church to receive
a bouquet from a curtseylng
little girl, and a roar of cheers
goes up as he steps into his
car, holding high his tribute
from childhood.
Later in his study, Paul Won
Hindenburg'S eyes moisten as
they fall upon the battle flags

his home overnight as the
greatest honor the German
Army can pay to a living man.

Granite Calm

Alarums and shouts, rumors
and murmurs may be heard
from all sides, but all the
while the grim, impassive old
man in the German presiden-
tial palace retains his granite
calnness and assurance. Aside
from revolution or death, he
will have the final say. In
1918. Europe and the United
States looked upon Marshal
Won Hindenburg of the 1mper-
ial German Army as an arch-
criminal. In 1888 he is honor
ed as few national leaders have
been since George Washington.
Until the incredible Hitler
appeared, President Won Hin
denburg stood like Atlas, bear

lusionment and desperation.
What a life his has been. Away
back in 1866, as a young lieu
tenant, he lay unconscious
across a cannon at the battle
of Konigsgratz which destroyed
Austrian power. Five years
later he witnessed in conquered
Paris the coronation of the old
Emperor, William the First.
In 1912 it seemed that his
life work was finished. He was
retired as too old for active
service. He went into retire
ment at Hanover, smoking his
cigarettes, drinking his beer
and fighting over tavern tables
imaginary campaigns with the
Russians in East Prussia.
Then came 1914. Won Moltke
struck at Paris. The Grand
Duke Nicholas poured his horde
of Cossacks over the eastern
border. The Kaiser sumponed

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

It wasn't the high cost Of
living that drove so many men
to bankruptcy during the Ides
of 1929-it was the high cost
of living better than the
Joneses, in order to appease
some woman's vanity.
A man doesn't object to hon.
est criticism from a woman,
provided her criticism" is en-
tirely complimentary. He loves
to be told that he's "too big
hearted"-but not that he's too
'big-headed."
A mans idea of freedom" is
to avoid getting tied up to one
woman, by keeping himself con-
tinually tangled up with half
dozen.
Nothing so hurts a girls
vanity as a mans willingness
to forgive her too quickly for
flirting with another man.
The thing that gets on a
mans nerves worst is wom-
ans passion for "dramatizing"
everything, from a telephone
call or a headache to a morn
ing spat or a wedding. But
a woman has to have SOME
emotional outlet in her life!
There are only two times in
any mans life when he feels
like committing suicide over a
woman-when he can't get her,
and when he can't get away
from her.
The old-fashioned girl used
to get her way with tears; but
a girl would hardly be able to
soften a mans heart, today,
