girl came to the door, a girl Fenderton
had never seen before She stood in the door
way and looked at Fenderton.
why. SAM" she said, you've got the wrong
fellow, that amt Oscar Teeterton. don't know
this fellow! I never set eyes on him before.
You've made a mistake, Sam"
Sam unlocked his fingers from Fenderton,s
collar and looked at Fenderton with huge dis
gust.
Nov, what do you know!" he exclaimed.
What do you know about that hey? Am I
blushing! Is my face red!" He did blush as
he heard the Gladys girls laugh. "You got
to excuse us, fellow" he said to Fenderton I'VE
made a mistake, that's all. We thought you
were this other fellow, see?"
We'll guess ought to be pretty mad about
this, Fenderton said. II guess could say
quite lot of things about it if I wanted
TO, because when man gets hit on the head
with pistol. guess he don't feel any too good
about 1t. but presume everybody makes mis-
takes sometime"
That's the boyi" said Joe heartily. That's
the way to talk. You've got to excuse it, please"
[ ALP an hour later Fenderton, having been
returned to westcote in the black sedan,
knocked on May Mddleton's door. When May
opened the door she stared at Fenderton with
unconcealed astonishment.
why Fenderton!" she exclaimed why,
goodness gracious, Fenderton-I thought you
were Kidnapped"
He met her look of astonishment with one of
naughty, wounded dignity
We'll, you don't need to be so surprised to
see me again" Fenderton said in the most
resentful tone he could command. 'I don't
think you need to talk if you never expected
to see me on this earth again. guess you
might suppose have some brains, May Middle
ton. You might, at least, think had brains
enough to outwit any old hdnapers that got
ahold of me-"
But. Fenderton, I do think so" May hastened
to say, for she saw that Fenderton was on his
high horse again II know you could outsmart
any dumb bunnieS of hdnapers, Fenderton. All
wondered was how you did it, Fenderton"
ST Just talked them out of keeping me May"
said Fenderton ct gave them some of little
old Fenderton Roper's hot line of talk and they
turned me loose. And, look May-we've got
time to take in q movie before dinner"
Yes" said May. "And we'd better tell the
police you're back. Fenderton. And then you
can tell me all about il"
So they set OF for the movie May very ad-
miring and Fenderton very willing to bask in
his new glory-and to mediate. lazily on the
unpleasant things that seemed to be in store for
Oscar Teeterton- And they discovered, before
they reached the movie. that there was also
time for an ice cream soda. so they had one
and Fenderton related his adventures
1t was quite story, the way Fenderton told
u. He was good at that.

President Roosevelt. who so often has
manifested q desire to be guided In his
selection of officials by character and
ability, could well afford in this case
to acknowledge that high principle
again in reappointing Judge Cobb.
Born in Louisiana sixteen years
after the abolition of slavery and left
an orphan as a lad, James A. Cobb
won an education unassisted and
through his own labors, coming to
Washington from Fisk University, in
Tennessee, to study law at Howard
University, from which he graduated
with his masters degree in 1901. In
private practice and In the public
service, as a special assistant in the
of Justice and later as
a twice-appointed Judge of the Mu-
nicipal Court, he has enjoyed the
professional and personal respect of
members Of the bar and Of his fellow
citizens. Such attainment over
shadows political considerations. The
President would be responsive to ex-
pressed local sentiment in reappoint-
ing him.
Evening star., 1934-05-04
Judge James A. Cobb.

Judge James A. Cobb has received
such unprecedented and extraordinary
Endorsement for reappointment to the
bench of the Municipal Court that
strong protest has naturally followed
the reports that he may not be re-
appointed.
Regardless of politics, Judge Cobb
has won the right to continue to
render that valuable service to this
community that has been so generally
associated with his position as a
highly respected member of the Mu-
nicipal Court. Unusual tributes to his
work as a Judge and to his character
as man have come from the District
Bar Association, the Washington Bar
association, the Barristers' Club, q
spontaneous petition signed by 100
young lawyers, and in letters from
distinguished leaders of his race.
Political considerations did not enter
into such Endorsements, for they came
from members of both parties. And

millions. He was not an outstanding
political leader, nor celebrated
master Of money. nor famous Trainer
of policies. Instead he was just an
American gentleman with generous
instincts, abiding faith, warm hope
and an ardent but unpresuming ap-
probation Of things like music, which
have no price and are not sold in
the common markets of mankind,
His preference invariably was for
the less noisy and turbulent fields
of enterprise. He had no false notions
of his own importance, invited no
public acclaim. In private business
he built along the old traditional
lines; as Secretary Of the Treasury
he remained modest and unpretend-
ing, performing his duty to the best
of his ability but without extrav-
agance of speech or action. His task
was a patriotic labor, and he ac-
cepted and discharged 1t as such.
It is of citizens Of his type
that essential Americanism is made.
Notoriety they may never know, crowds
do not follow them In the streets, but
they make their contribution Just the
same and leave an endowment to the
Nation of which no words are
adequate to tell.
st. Johns was empty and dark this
morning, as it was on that other,
exceptionally memorable day. But did
a lovable and gracious spirit move in
the shadows? No witness can testify,
but it well may have been so. In any
case, in the house across the street
there was one who woke to find earth
poorer because of the absence of a
noble friend.

nothing, Of course, but very small In
comparison with what one might pun
out Of the affair.
No one has to put nickel in such
. machine, any more than one has to
take q drink every time one passes q
fountain.
II one succumbs to the lure, he does
1t because he wants to. He knows the
odds-he has watched others work 1t,
or try to work 1t.
There seem to be two classes Of
customers, in the main, those who
declare that 1t is fixed" and those
who believe they have system"
The former say It Is all fortune,
and that the odds are tremendously
against the player.
The latter like to tell others Just
what their system" Is. This, on the
face Of it, is rather suspicious, because
most persons who have evolved "sys-
TENS" like to keep them q secret.
II the system were any good. one
might think, why doesn't he work it
himself?"
This big fellow says that the way to
get what you want from one of these
contraptions Is to turn the handle
furiously Just as the claw of the der
rick" catches over a prize.
Such action, you remind him, Is
"ag'in the rules" The sign on the
machine says 50.
Your new friend looks at you pity
ingly.
They put It here, don't they?" he
asks. They put it here to be worked,
and you work 1t, that Is all, any way
you can"
You admit the logic.
The claw comes down over some
gadget you have no desire for, but the
fury of a most curious gamble Is in
your blood.
Eagerly you twist the handle-up
comes the claw, holding the prize.
Out 1t comes.
"See?" says the man.
The next day you stand In front of
the lure. Another man with hat
pulled down over his eyes sidles up.
You tip it," he declares.
Tip what?"
THE whole thing, Just tip It,"
You tip it. The claw grabs, then
drops.
"You didn't do 1t right-you tipped
1t the wrong way"
In goes another nickel. You tin
the other way, still no prize.
But the man has vanished,
The theory Of this machine is based
on fundamental understanding that
the most despised coin in America Is
the humble five-cent piece. To most
men q nickel somehow seems no
money at all, positively less than a
cent, figure that out any way you can.

Movies and Toy Pistols
Bad Influence on Youth

10 the EoltOr OF Inc star.
One of the large chain drug stores
Of Washington forfeited the respect of
. lot Of people. judging from many
comments I have heard, when it
featured very realistic toy machine
gun for boys in one of its recent
advertisements.
It does seem, In all conscience, that
the movies are doing damage enough
when they picture gangsters as heroes,
,idealizing them and showing their
methods of operation on the screen.
1t Is a pity If the drug stores feel
they have to contribute their bit for
the sake of q few measly dollars to
be gained thereby. I write this with
the full realization that I shall be
called a crab" and a 'killjoy" by
many doting. If dull-witted, papas and
mammas.
Not long ago I witnessed a very
stirring melodrama in one of our best
northwest suburbs. There were five
actors, all armed with toy pistols. The
average age of four of them was about
years. The stage manager, pro-
ducer or chief actor was about IA.
And what tough guy he was! The
stage was a vacant house and its
front lawn, next door to the home Of
the chief actor. The lawn was gen.
erously set in shrubbery, which afford
ed excellent cover for the actors.
I was deeply interested as the chief
actor began his delineation, or re-
hearsal, Of the forthcoming desperate
deeds to his subordinates. 1t seemed
that the vacant house was bank and
it was to be stuck up." "A-hal" said
I to myself, "the chief actor is going
to be the bold, brave officer who Is
going to break up this villainy and
capture the robbers" I was wrong by
many miles. He designated two little
ansmic chaps as officers of the law
and then loudly declared that he was
the chief robber and the other two
were bis trigger men," Sticking out
his chest, the chief actor yelled to the
poor little inadequate Officers: lis
ten, you punks! We're on the lam,
see? We amt gonna be taken alive,
see? Cause why? Cause we amt
got a chance to beat the rap If we're
captured, see? We're gonna shoot it
out, see?"
After much stealthy maneuvering
the gangsters emerged from the base
ment door Of the vacant house with
their loot. One puny little officer"
yelled Stick 'em up!" and the bang!
bang! bang was on full blast. 1t
looked to me as though the chief actor
was caught dead to rights and killed
by the first shot. But no, sir! why
the he'll don't you fall? I got you
through the heart when you stepped
from behind that bush," snarled the
chief actor. Like hell you didl" re-
torted the officer" who was small Of
stature but big Of voice. The battle
ended as the master mind Of the
chief actor had planned from the be-
ginning-the two poor little Officers"
with their toes turned up beside q
spruce tree and the three gangsters
triumphantly making of with the loot.
While the battle ragged the father
OF the chief actor sat on his porch,
fifty feet away, perusing the box
score, while his mother sat nearby
talking baby talk to a French poodle.
The poor saps! S. H. MUMFORD.

Proposed School Sale

To the Editor Of The star:
I wonder If those citizens of the

of Fairgrounds realize that there Is
pending in Congress a bill Oh. R.

school building, the Tepley, with its
grounds 50 advantageously located?
The fact that 1t Is adjacent to o new
school building, the Janney, which
has inadequate space for Fairgrounds.

ton by the District Of Columbia.

permit such q desirable piece Of prop
erty to be sold, when the educational
