OPERATORS OF AUTOMOBILES
So long as the members of the "hidden hundred"
comply with this warning and long they observe
the spirit of their appointments they may be of service
to the city.
But there is danger long recognized in the creation
of such groups as these traffic warmers
They can pervert the purposes of the organization

order and quality Of the laugh
ter resulting from the joke.
At a given signal DR.. Mounce
told the subjects the story about
the drill sergeant and the rookie
at the rifle range. The drill
sergeant gave the command
Fire at will" And the be-
wildered rookie inquired,
(Which one is Will?"
Nobody laughed at this joke,
so DR.. Mounce then tried
another one. A teacher said to
a pupil named William: Nov,
William, would it be proper to
say You can't le arm me
nothing?'" Eyes, it would"
said William, to the teachers
amazement. "Why?" she asked.
Because you can't" retorted
William, to the discontinue OF
the pedagogue.
Five minutes passed and none
of the subjects laughed at this
Joke, so DR.. Mounce told them
one he had just thought up,
about the lady who said to the
policeman: "Officer, where will
I catch the west End trolley?"
And the officer, who was not
without a sense of fun, replied:
Fright in the west end, if you're
not careful, lady,"
When they did not laugh at

ing ones which DR.. Mounce told
them, he was convinced that
something was wrong, and it
suddenly dawned upon him
what it was.
The II subjects were delib"
erately holding out to be the
last laugher. They had al
ways heard that he who laughs
last laughs best. Each of the
II wanted to be the one to laugh
best, and that meant he would
have to laugh last. Conse.
quently nobody laughed at all.
Just as DR.. Mounce had in
structed an assistant to make a
note of this odd phenomenon,

given the "white-collar class"
on relief rolls in the District.
Officials have been advised
that $1.66 per week is paid to
the white-collar class as food
allowance. This rate was Sug-
gested for "a man of moderate
activity" in Department of Agri-
culture Bulletin 296. Miss
Hildegarde Kneeland, who was
mentioned by DR.. William Writ.
Gary educator, when he made
allegations of radicalism in gov
ernment, is said to have assisted
in preparation of the bulletin.
Although the food allowance
for the better class has been
fixed at $1.66 per week, it is
said that the IabOring class Of
white and cOIOred races, partic-
ularly the latter, are given a
larger amount.
It is estimated that more
than $500 white collar men
have been reduced to this
stipend. And the report is that
Hopkins will be asked the why's
and wherefores when he comes
back to town.
Around the town Matt Horn,
raconteur and Songster, relates
one of the better fish tales.
Matt says that on the recent
merchants booster trip down
Chesapeake Bay, some of the
boys cast their lines over the
side of the boat and went fish
ing.
One item in the catch was a
small shark about 18 inches
long. The shark was loosed on
the deck and was gasping out
his last few moments Of life.
A merchant who had been
having luck in a craps games
and was somewhat sentimental
by reason of supply Of Mary
land rye, noticed the young fish
in it's death throes.
He slipped it a spot Of rye.
The effect was tremendous.
Rejuvenated beyond all ex.
pectatiOns, the shark went on
a bender over the side. And
the last seen of him he was
staggering down q wave leaning

LAST LAUGHING
By FRANK SULLIVAN

DR.. Jethro Mounce, the adage

of proverbs. AS soon as he fin
ishes his analysis of HE who
laughs last laughs BEST" he will
commence an investigation of
HE who fights and runs away
will live to fight another day."
DR.. Mounce has been making
an exhaustive study of the gen.
eral laughing situation, with
special attention to last laugh
ing, and is convinced that the
The Washington times., 1934-07-24

old doctrine that he who laughs
last laughs best has been a force
for evil in the development Of
laughing, placing, as it does, too
much of a premium on delayed
chuckling.
He will, therefore, recommend
to the American Academy Of
Mirth and disabilities that the
form of the adage be changed
to read: "He who laughs last is
very often a case of arrested
mental development"
DR.. Mounce chose II picked
laughers to be his subjects in
his laughing experiments. Smil.
erS and grinnerS were barred,
but chucklers, if the chuckle was
audible a distance of three feet,
were allowed. Seven of the II
were chucklerS.
Professional laughers were
barred. DR.. Mounce thought he
had a real find in a laugher
with a rich, fruity chortle, but
the fellow turned out to be one
of those professional singers of
laughing songs that go like this:
So I laughed and I laughed
and 1 laughed, ha ha,
And laughed, oh no no!
I held my side, I nearly died,
For laughed so hearty, no.
Ha ha ha-ha ha, ha ha ha-ha no,
And hee hee hee hee hee-e-e.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
And ha. ha, ha, ha, ha.
He was disqualified.
Twenty-four hours before the
tests started the seventeen sub
jects were SequeStered, under
guard. DR.. Mounce decided to
use q funny story as the instru-
ment to provoke the laughter.

concealed about the room, ready
to observe and note the speed,

Army Air Corps Tagging
By James T. Williams, Jr.

Edmund Burke, the British
statesman, had a profound ap-
probation Of the indispensable
value of facts.
Facts are to the mind" said
Burke, "the same thing as food
to the body. On the due diges-
ton of facts depends the
strength and wisdom of the one,
just as vigor and health depend
on the other"
One of the most interesting
and useful features of the COM
prehensive report on aviation in
general and American military
aviation in particular, which
has just been made by a dis
tinguished committee of experts,
of which the Hon. Newton D.
Baker, of Ohio, was chairman,
is the mass of well-d -digested
facts about aviation at home
and abroad.
The Baker committee finds
that there has been a remarka-
BILE development in all phases
of aviation since the study Of
the Morrow board was COM
pleted in 1925.
Recent Changes
In the commercial field, this
progress is exemplified by the
following changes between the
calendar years 1927 and 1888:
Scheduled flying other than
airmail increased from $4,000
to 1O,86O,O00 miles; miscellane-
GUS flying from 3O,OO0,0OO to
100000 miles; airmail mile
age from 328 routes and 1872
scheduled miles with "a round
trips a month to $1,000 routes
and 3,274,000 scheduled miles
with 1926 round trips per
month, approximately 40,000,-
600 miles per wear.
Miles flown per fatal acci-
dent have increased for sched-
uled flying from $4,000 to in
excess of 5,550,OOO; and there
has been a similar increase for
miscellaneous flying from 3l5,-
900 miles flown per fatal acci-
dent to about 100000.
There has also been a ire
mendous increase since 1925 in
the cruising speed and load
capacity of airplanes, in the de-
velopment of flying facilities.
and in the progress that has
been made in the design and
construction Of aircraft and in
the improvement of aircraft &C.
ceSSorieS.
Facts assembled by the Baker
committee also prove conclu-
sively that the airline transpor-
tation and commercial aviation
of the United States "is far
ahead of that of foreign ma
tions."
In it's comparison of CONNER
The Washington times., 1934-07-24

cial aviation in this country
with that Of foreign countries,
the Baker committee gives
these highly significant facts:
There is more transport fly.
ing in the United States, with
more passengers carried an
nually, than in all the rest Of
the world combined.
"Our airline transport de-
velopment has resulted in air.
planes superior in design, char.
acteristics and performance to
those of any other nation. Our
airline pilots are more highly
trained than those of any other
country.
"Our facilities and equipment,
except as to certain types Of
engines, surpass all others. We
lead in the development and
use Of aviation instruments
and in our communication sys-
tenn"
This leadership is not con-
fined to airline transportation
and commercial aviation. Find
ings Of fact arrived at by the
Baker committee reveal that
the United States also leads
the world in tested combat
types of military airplanes and
in naval combat aviation the
United States leads both in
numbers and types of planes.
Policy 0beyed
The reason for this leader
ship in both commercial and
naval aviation is to be found in
the fact that the established
aviation policy of the United
States, which dates from the
Morrow board, has been car
ried out in the development OF
commercial and naval aviation.
This policy has not been car
ried out in the development OF
military aviation. And the fail
ure to carry out this established
policy in this regard explains the
loss to other countries by the
United States of leadership in
military aviation.
In its report the Baker COM
mittee has shown the courage
to face the facts about aviation.
In it's conclusions and recon-
mendations for improving mill
tary aviation, it has shown the
wisdom to follow where the facts
lead.
Whenever the President and
the Congress will unite in follow
ing established aviation policy,
the United States will soon
again lead the world in military
aviation, just as it now leads
the world in commercial and
naval aviation.
This means more money for
the training and equipment and
expansion of the Army Air Corps.
The Washington times., 1934-07-24

stirred in the heart of man. In
1924, DR.. Gustavus A. EiSen, dis
tinguished archaeologiSt, sug-
gested the strong possibility
that it was the Holy Grail.
In this, he was supported by
the distinguished Arthur Ber-
nard Cook, of Queens College,
Cambridge. c. Leonard Wooley.
New York archaeologist. wrote a
book, Digging Into the Past"
in which he disSented. He be-
lieved the workmanship to be Of
a period possibly 800 years after
the Crucifixion.
The chalice is Of the gold
age of Hellenic workmanship,
seven by ten inches, and would
contain two quarts of liquid.
There is a bas-relief Of II
figures, believed to represent
Christ and 10 Apostles. Some
students have maintained that
the workmanship shows the
sculpture to have been executed
at q period long after the
original cup was made, thus
sustaining the view that it was
the Holy Grail, and account for
Mr.. Wooley's findings as to
later workmanship.
1t was sent to Paris to the
Louvre, and then removed to
the Chicago Century of Pro-
gress Exposition. There in a
sleazy booth, outside the Hall
Of Religions, one could see it,
for a fee. Don't fail to see
the Holy Grail-25 cents"
chanted q shrill feminine voice.
Grace was not free, here!
Would the glooming Gawain un-.
sheath his sword? Would Gala
had come again? None seemed
to expect them. The news
papers had no front page
stories Of deeds of high emprise.
The Century of Progress was
the apotheoSiS of power
dynamic lines Of force made its
temples and it had no shrine
for a mystic chalice Of infinite
love. I seem to defeat my own
contention as to the place of
the Holy Grail in the heart of
man. But I think Of a gentle
old man who paid his IS cents
and viewed the vessel Of silver
and gold with deep veneration.
"It is the logoS," he said. 'It
may or may not be the Holy
Grail. I don't think anyone
knows or ever will know. But
that is not important. It is the
chalice Of all the aspirations of
mankind. Even If I were an
agnoStic, I should revere it,"
The story Of Calvary, true or
not, is mans noblest assertion
of faith in the high destiny of
the soul Of man. Not to seem
irreverent, it is mans greatest
investment-it carries all his
hopes. Sir Galahad seems to
have left it in that mysterious
city Of SarraS, in the East.
Who will find It? A scientist

Learned men tell us that the
age of reason has Supplanted
the age of faith, but the quest
of the Holy Grail goes on
through the centuries. Men still
are moved by high romance, and
Gawain and Galahad will live
when Hitler and Stain are for
gotten. This time, it is Walter
Rummel, the American com.
poser, and Otto Rain, German
scientist, who think they have
found the temple of the silver
chalice of mans noblest hopes.
They supplement the work OF
Marcel Arnaud, French electri.
cal engineer, who three years
ago began excavations of the
ruins of the Chateau de Mont
segur, near Toulouse.
X 4 4
The chateau is on a mountain,
1890 feet high, and said to be
almost hollow, with vast halls,
temples and galleries where the
medieval sect of the Catharists
took refuge from the armies of
King Louis TX.
Among the great array Of
books on the Holy Grail, it is
the Quote de San Grail, written
by Robert de Boron, at the
end of the twelfth century.
which has guided m o dern
archaeologiSts to the Chateau
de Montsegur. 1t is this book,
too, which is believed to have
inspired the Arthurian legend,
and to have projected this an
cient quest into the world of
today.
Therein is told the story of
the wanderings of the Cathar-
lists, guarding their treasure and
taking their last stand at the
site of the castle of Montsegur.
They were overwhelmed by the
kings armies. The last 200 of
them were chained together and
burned.
Is the hollow mountain the
sacred arcanum of this hand
width symbol of moral aspira-
tion? Old-time newspaper men
sometimes day-dream about the
story of the ages. Which would
it be; the story Of the proven
communication with Mars, or
the soundly authenticated find
ing of the Holy Grail?
I suppose I would be shouted
down, in this zenith of the age
of reason, if I contended for the
latter. but the Human Side Of
the News takes account of the
human heart, rather than the
mind, and somehow I can't be-
lieve that the to-electric
cell ever will become the en-
during and inspiring symbol
which is the Holy Grail
whether it is really in the world
or not. And even in this world
of science today, men are moved
more by symbols than by syllo-
giSms.
MontSegur may be debris and
dust, but "the will to believe"
does not perish. For nearly two
decades there reposed in a vault
