Kilmer After Fifteen Years.

Yesterday in Brooklyn fifteen hum
dred friends and comrades Of Joyce
Kilmer met at religious service in his
memory. The occasion was the fifteenth
anniversary of his death. A sergeant
in the old Sixty-ninth Regiment, he was
killed in action near the village Of
Seringes, France. July 30, 1918.
1t seems plain that Kilmer's name is
not to be forgotten. He was a lovable
person, giving and taking friendship
with gracious enthusiasm, and those
who knew him we'll are proud of having
enjoyed his acquaintance, while those
who knew him only through his work
are happy to be among his admirers.
He will be remembered for his personal
charm, his boyish elan his generous and
quixotic temperament. and his capacity
to sacrifice for principle. And he will
have for a monument the slender little
books of verse into which he put his
dreams, his hopes and his convictions.
Those who are familiar with the
whole scope Of his poetry sometimes
wonder why it Is that his Trees"
should be % much more popular than

Hoovers agents, since being given au-
thority under the 'Lindbergh law
have investigated, either alone or in
cooperation with local oficials. seven
teen kidnapping or extortion cases, and
all have been solved with the exception
of two now pending. In one Of those,
the O'Connell kidnapping at Albany. the
family has refused to cooperate with
the authorities.
Special Assistant Joseph B. Keenan,
and Director Hoover have been desig-
mated by the Attorney General as a
sort of board of strategy" to conduct
the Governments drive on terroristic
gangs. This board has been given a
free hand to wage war unremittingly
with every available facility of the De-
partment of Justice.
There is another angle to Hoover's
appointment that is calculated to win
public confidence and support for the
administrations crime offensive. That
is the fact that Mr. Cummings had the
courage, in the face Of tremendous
pressure from political aspirants, to ap-
point one who has no apparent po-
litical background of any kind. In re-
fusing to make a political foot ball out
of Uncle Sans biggest detective branch
the Attorney General has set an ex-
ample in law enforcement that more
States and cities we'll might follow.
The Government is proving it means
business in its crusade against racket
eers. Now it is up to law-abiding citizens
to do their part by cooperating to the
fullest extent-from assisting in col
lection of evidence to accepting willing
ly the obligations of jury service.

certain other of his compositions. He
himself did not think very highly of
that particular effort. He spoke Of 1t
as needing something" and wished
for q better word than fools" as q
synonym for poets" But. once pub
lished, the lines had to stand as they
were written, and today they are more
widely repeated than ever he expected
they might be. No other poem of Kill
mers generation has had such vogue.
The subject itself, the authors handling
OF it, and the melodious setting pro-
vided for it by Oscar Rasbach consti-
tute the integrals of its celebrity.
But Kilmer's other efforts should be
more adequately appreciated. His
White Ships and the Red" NAV be
dated" by the war in which he per-
ished, but 1t is a great poem. His
Martin" probably is the most thor
oughly admirable product of his pen
1t Is so human, SO authentic. so search
ing, and SO delicate; no other man
could have written It, Only a review OF
the entire volume Of his verse can give
the proper background for q judgment
Of Kilmers genius.
OF course, it is an everlasting pity
that he should have died so young Had
he lived normal span of years he GER
tainly would have done greater things.
But the circumstance Of his youth gives
added significance to the tragedy of his
death. He gave tor his country not
only his life but also all the opportuni-
ties which life had granted him.

@. Why do the linotype machines
when they commence to make +pi"
write certain forms like ''phrdler" pc
peatedly?-A. T.
A. When linotype operator has set
part of a line, then for some reason
wishes to reset 1t. he usually runs down
''pi' to fill out the line, and he or the
makeup man is supposed to remove it
before making up the type into pages.
In running down 'pi' the operator
simply runs his finger straight down
the keyboard. which results in any of
the following six-letter combinations:
etaoin. Shrdlu. cmfWyp, vbgkqj etc. He
repeats the combinations as many times
as necessary to fill out line.
@. Are there legends other than the
one about Rip Van Wrinkle in which a
person awakens after a sIumber lasting
for years?-W. F.
A. There are numerous tales of the
kind Epimenides, the Greek poet, was
supposed to have slept fifty-seyen years.
Such legends hang around the names
of King Arthur Charlemagne. Barba-
rossa. the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus.
Tannhauser. Sebastian, Roderick, Peter
Klaus and many others.

The Test.

The Roosevelt recovery program
faces an important test this week. The
blanket code of fair competition for all
industries whose codes have not yet
been approved becomes effective tomor-
row. And at the same time the open
shop ouestion-whether such shop
can exist under the terms of the Ma
tional Recovery act-will be fought Out
in the hearings on the code" which
has been submitted for that great basic
industry, employing more than half a
million men. the steel industry.
From every State in the Union, from
thousands upon thousands of individual
employers, kilograms have poured in
upon the President pledging the fullest
cooperation in the recovery program,
including particularly the operation of
the blanket code. This blanket code is
not considered perfect. But it is offered
as the best possible means of getting
the recovery program into high gear
Immediately, without waiting for the
adoption of the codes of individual in
dustries. The process of adopting the
separate codes must of necessity take
time. The country is ready and primed
for the forward movement. Hence the
blanket code, and the Blue Eagle
The national industrial recovery act
gives to employers certain rights of
acting in concert. 1t modifies for them
the Sherman antitrust law and amend
mentS to that law. 1t is an aid in
many ways, preventing cut-throat COM
petition and unfair practices Of all
kinds At the same time the law states
with great definiteness that every code
of fair competition must carry certain
conditions relative to labor These con-
ditions are: Employees shall have the
right to organize and bargain collec-
lively through representatives of their
own choosing, and shall be free from
the interference, restraint or coercion
of employers of labor, or their agents,
in the designation of such representa-
tives or in self-organization or In other
concerted activities for the purpose Of
collective bargaining or other mutual
aid or protection A second condition
is: That no employe and no one seek
ing employment shall be required as a
condition of employment to join any
company union or to refrain from join
ing organizing or assisting a labor Or
ganization Of his own choosing" And
a third condition provides: That en-
ployers shall comply with the maxi
mum hours of labor, minimum rates of
pay and other conditions of employ
ment, approved or prescribed by the
President"
Here, indeed, is very definite state
ment regarding the conditions of labor
under the recovery act program. 1t is
clear that labor unions are likely to
interpret the language Of the law as a
license to organize every plant, factory
and mine in the country, whether the
workers and the employees desire organ
ization or not There is no more rea-
son for forcing men, against their will,
into a union than there is reason to
prevent their joining such an organiza-
tion.
The National Recovery Administra-
ton faces big question in this strug-
gle over the open shop and the union
shop It will require firm and fair
dealing

Uncle Sam VS.. Crime.

In announcing the selection Of j.
Edgar Hoover as director of the new
Division of Investigation of the De-
partment of Justice. Attorney General
Cummings has given additional evi-
dence that his recent declaration Of war
on kidnapers and other racketeers was
not what gangsters might term "hooey.'
Mr.. Cummings is not given to empty
phrases. Like Mr.. Hoover, he believes
In doing a job quietly but effectively.
When he issues orders for war he
expects to get action. He chose the
young aggressive head of the present
Bureau of Investigation for the i'm
portant new anti-crime high COM
mand" because action is written all
over Hoovers record at the department,
action not always spectacular but
usually productive of concrete results.
This sharp-eyed foe of ganglands S
mobsters-a native of Washington and
product of the local schools y has
earned international recognition for his
extraordinary development of Uncle
Sans major crime detection agency.
In Just q few years he has built up a
formidable Federal investigative arm
that has made the underworld sit up
and take notice.
Criminals who once held all the laws
IN contempt now regard Federal laws
with much greater respect. They take
pains to plan their crimes so that there
will be no Federal infraction to bring
down upon their heels the persistent
6herlocks Of the National Government
