II Seems TO Me
By
Haywood Broun

THE President Of the United States has drawn
Il sharp and clear a line as Colonel Travis dug
with his toe across the dirt floor Of the Alamo. 1t
the right Of every either to walk across and
take his place beside the leader or to stand stock still
as indication Of his opposition
But the day Of the half-and half fraternity and
the one-thrd and but" boys has ended definitely.
He who is not with me is against me-"
motley crew are those who will not come across.

Afeel that it amt goin to rain no more If we
must 90 up the gangplank two by two it is my in
tenton to up with the first available elephant
We elephants do not forget. I still can remember
the sleight-of-h hand by which Mr.. Hoover made the
chicken come out Of the pot and disappear into even
thinner air.
I'm for the deal 1t may bog down far short
of the places to which I hope that it will go. But
look at the old deal All ashore that's going ashore"
I'm for the magical islands that lie ahead of us
out there where the blue begins. Anchors aWelgh!
If it Is held against me that on numerous other
occasions I have yielded too readily to enthusiasts
and the spell of adiectives, readily will admit the
impeachment. 1t is mistake, perhaps, to waste all
your warm words early in life. The prodigal critic
of literature life may come in mis- decing years
face to with masterpiece and have nothing
left to say Such a spendthrift fumbes in his purse
and finds nothing except small change in coins OF
nickel and copper praise And these are worn smooth
through overuse Still there is something to be said
for Coal Oil Johnny.
He has had fun for his adjectives. There is
compromising glow in the heart Of the young critic
when he remembers the day obscure author came
to him asking bread. though rather expecting
stone, and he with flourish reached down into the
bread box and gave the poor man layer cake.

Diefz on Science

a sTRONOMY finds itself at the beginning Of
Il n 1884 in state where new discoveries are be-
ing made rapidly than they can be fitted into
a complete picture of the universe.
Speaking at the close of 1882 at the Atlantic City
meeting Of the American Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Science, Mr.. Harlow Shapley director
of the Harvard observatory termed current theories
of stellar evolution superficial and inadequate and
called upon astronomers to revise their theories.
He also said that the time had to abandon
the Chambern- Moulton theory of the origin of the
solar system, according to which the planets were
formed from material torn from the sun by pass
ing star.
He said that it was probable that the moon, the
earth, the planets, the and stars all the
same age, all formed simultaneously from the con-
densation Of one parent gaseous nebula.
During 1888, the desired au-nclusiYe theory was
not forthcoming. Instead new discoveries we're
made which emphasized the need for new theory
and at the same time made astronomers doubt that
base it.
Speaking again at the close of 1888 at the Bos-
ton meeting of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science. Dr. Shapley summarized
the situation when he said the need Of the day
bigger telescopes and more sensitive Photographic
plates with which TO gather more information about
the more distant parts Of our galaxy and the
spiral nebulae.
THE important discoveries in astronomy during
L 1888 may be summarized as follows:
Demonstration that the Milky Way galaxy is
only about one-haf one-third large as previ-
ously supposed having diameter OF about 100000
light years.
This first pointed out by DR.. Joel Stebbins Of
the Washburn observatory as the result of expert
ments which he carried on with photo-electric ap-
paratus at the Mt. Wilson observatory attaching his
instruments to that observatory's giant 1o0-inch
telescope.
He showed that faint stars were not as far away
as had been supposed their dirnness being due in
large part to the presence Of cosnc cloud Of dust
in the space between stars.
Confirmation Of the estimate Of the size Of
the galaxy by Dr. J. S. Plaskett Of the Dominion
Astrophyscal observatory using entirely different
methods. DR.. Plaskett arrived at his conclusion
from study Of the distribution and motions Of the
brightest stars in the galaxy.
Demonstration by DR.. Stebbins that the Andro-
media Nebula, the nearest spiral nebua, is twice as
large as was previously thought. This makes our
own galaxy and the Andromeda Nebula practically
the same size.
Proof by DR.. Alfred H Joy Of the Mt. Wilson OBJ
servatory that the galaxy revolves like a gigantic
pinwheel, taking 24oOOOOOO years to make one
luton
Confirmation Of the revolution Of the galaxy by
Dr. Peskett from his studies OF the bright stars Of
the galaxy.

DUT in spite Of the various
ID uniforms worn by those who
insist upon standing out, the
issue is plain enough. The fight
lies between the forces which
wish to go back to the structure
which we knew under Hoover
and Coolidge and Harding and
those who are convinced that
the old order is dead and not
merely sleeping.

Upon Shooting the Works

A FTER all one of the young critics told me in
"A iustifying his mode of life it may be just as
tragic as YOU say to be caught late in life with
masterpiece in front of you and not a single ade-
quate adjective left in your purse. Yes I'll grant
you that it's unfortunate But there's still another
contingency which I to avoid. Wouldn't it
be rotten sell TO die with half your adjectiveS still
unused? You know you can't take them with you
to heaven. OF what possible use would they be up
there?
Even the bravest superlatves would seem pretty
mean and petty in that land Think Of being
blessed with milk and honey for the first time and
trying to express your gratitude and wonder with
The best I ever tasted. No sir. I'm going to get
ready for the eternal words by using up ali the
old ones before I die
And so the new deal gets my adjectives think
it's in for a run.

Polish Night Life

Anatole, the assistant mead
waiter in the Mayflower lounge,
seems to have a good idea OF
night life in the principal Euro
pean capitals. He consents to
pass it on to you in brief form
from week to week. He first
tells about Warsaw, Poland.
After-dark gayety there is cen
tered in three places, Cafe L'1talia,
Cafe Adria and Cafe Euro.
In the first club, the patrons do
not dance, as the musicians are
not what they are supposed to
be. The people just come and
sip their favorite drink, zubrowka
and bitterS.
Cafe LAdriao comes nearest to
the American night club. It has
a floor show, and plenty Of dane
ing. There is a small revue which
contains mostly American tap
dancers, a form Of terpsichore
that the Poles are crazy about.
Cafe EURO is patroniZed mostly
by the elite who go there to play
bridge, which is rather amusing
to me. AL of the above places
are decorated by Draibik, whose
name has to be connected with
this line to insure the cafes sue
cess Next week Anatole will
move to Amsterdam.

John Slaughter, maestro Of the

way of finding beautiful but un-
known voices.
He presented his latest protege
to the patrons Of the Bamboo

and again came requests for more
vocals by the very good-looking
Fenton Froom. His melodies
blend perfectly with the atmos-

Due to last minute changes, Di-
rector Walter Won Herbulis, of the
Club Michel, has brought down
from New York an entirely new

This was in part due to his be-

that has long been favorite in
Washington, having previously
appeared in this city both on the
stage and at the Thomas Circle
wining and dining rendezvous.
They are the international team
Of Crawford and Kasky, noted

SERVICE SOUGHT
Citizens Federation Group
Meeting to Be Called
by W. c. Hull.

The Interfederation Conference,
meeting last night at the United
States Chamber Of Commerce Build
ing, instructed its chairman, William
c. Hull, to call q meeting of three
members Of the Public Utilities Com
mittees Of each of the constituent
citizens federations to develop plans
for improvement Of mass transpor-
tation in the metropolitan area.
The delegates appeared especially
interested in suburban bus service be-
tween the District and nearby Vir-
gtnia points. and also in the proposed
sale of the Washington Rapid Transit
Co., which serves a section of Mont
gomery County. to the Capital Tran
sit Co.
The delegates from Arlington Csun-
ty left early to attend to county mat
tiers now coming to a head, and the
District and Montgomery County
delegates remained to discuss the
crime situation in the District, and
the prospect that, with success at
tending the civic fight against organ
lied gambling in the District, the
gamblers might take refuge In Mont
gomery County.
The delegates expressed themselves
on their reactions to the present crime
situation at the request of James G.
Yaden. vice chairman of the Perma-
nent Citizens Committee on Criminal
Justice. Blame for crime conditions
was variously placed on the home, the
school, the moving pictures, economic
and other conditions.
The conference, in the absence of
the Arlington delegates took no action
on the matter. but it is expected to
come up again at the December
meeting.

T. MORRIS WAMPLER
SECRETLY MARRIED
Attorney Sentenced for Tax Eva.
sion Wed November s to
Miss W. L. Haslam.

T. Morris Wampler, 50-year-o olo
Washington attorney, who has beer
ordered to show cause Thursday why
he should not be returned to Lewis
burg Penitentiary to complete an
18-month sentence for alleged income
tax evasion, was secretly married al
Fairfax, Va, on November 8, to Miss
Wyvil L. Haslam, 28 years old, giving
her address as the Hamilton Hotel, IL
was learned today.
The couple was married by Rev
Herbert A. Donovan, rector of the
Truro Episcopal Church, who was
asked by friends of Wampler not tc
mention the ceremony. The license
was filled out and returned to the
clerks Office at Fairfax yesterday by
DR.. Donovan.
Wampler was released from Lewis
burg November 3, under a $1,000 bond
pending an appeal, and subsequently
was ordered to show cause on No.
vember % in the Third Circuit Court
Of Appeals at Baltimore why the order
admitting him to bail should not be
vacated.
Wampler's release was ordered by
Judge Albert w. johnson in the
United States District Court for the
Middle District of Pennsylvania. Prior
to this order Judge johnson had de-
MED the Washington attorneys appli-
cation for a writ of habeas corpus.
Wampler had pleaded that the sen
fencing Judge at Baltimore had no
jurisdiction because the income tax
return had been mailed in the District
of Columbia.
Wampler has served about half OF
his sentence.
