BELGIAN ROYALTY
IS HAPPY FAMILY
Democratic Spirit and Love
for Simple Life
PredominateS.
BRUSSELS (R.-Belgium's new

BRUSSELS Rl.-Belgium's new
royal family Is happy one.
It Is 71a years since the tall fair
prince who now reigns as Leopold III
married the lovely Astrid of Sweden
vet their honeymoon continues.
The chief delight Of this democratic
couple is their children, Princess
josephine Charlotte and her little
brother. Prince Bauduin, the throne
heir.
The baby prince has developed a
keen interest in mechanical toys, and
the greatest fun OF which he can think
now is to play with his tiny automo-
bile in the presence of his father and
"Josy."
Next to that he enjoys riding pig
a-back on his fathers athletic Shoul-
derS or playing hide e-and-seek with his
sister and parents in the shady
grounds of the Stuyvenberg Castle
Inquiries About Grandfather.
During the last few weeks he has
frequently inquired for his grand
father, who used to be another of his
playmates, but he has been told that
grandpa left on long journey.
The late King and the Queen hardly
let pass a day without seeing the
grandchildren, and since the February
tragedy Dowager Queen Elizabeth has
lavished on Josy and Bauduin all her
love.
The life of the new royal family
hardly differs at all from that of a
modest family of the bourgeoisie.
An experienced cook, Queen Astrid
prepares certain favorite dishes for her
husband, particularly in vacation time.
After these homemade dinners, the
King frequently stretches out in the
open, smoking his pipe and playing
with his children.
Until they ascended the throne,
Leopold III and Queen Astrid lived a
life Of privileged human beings.
Fond Of Travelling.
Fond of travelling, they toured
Europe, Africa and large parts of Asia.
Wherever they journey incognito they
were looked upon as honeymooners.
They strolled about, entering moving
picture theaters, dining in the open
at some small restaurant, rowing, fish
ing or sightseeing.
Sometimes they shopped and they
carried their own parcels and jumped
on the platforms of street cars. They
were happiest when they could pass
unidentified
The duties of state have altered
much of that, but there is the same
foundation of democracy and the
same love for the simple life.

WELSH GUARDS HEAR
PRINCE RELATE JOKE
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON.-The Prince of Wales,
renowned for his appreciation of
good story, tells one of his own.
The yarn, related by his royal high
ness at dinner of the Welsh Guards,
tells Of man who complained to his
doctor of pains, but was unable to
locate them.
The patient was ordered to place a
piece of paper under his vest and
make a mark wherever he felt the
pain, but when the doctor called later
the paper was missing.
The mans daughter, asked if she
knew its whereabouts, replied:
do you mean that piece of paper
with all the holes in it? We put it in
the pianola and it played o God, Our

COURT WILL PASS AGAIN
ON new YORK MILK LAW
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court consented yes
terday to pass again on the validity of
the New York milk control law, chal-
lenged by the Hegeman Farms Cor
poration of New York City.
The case was set for argument on
next October 8.
The New York act recently was up
held by the high court in a decision
generally interpreted as having an
important bearing on the validity of
the national recovery legislation.
Purchasing its milk from producers
throughout the State, the Hegeman
Farms Corporation attacked an order
of the New York Milk Control Board
which threatened to cancel its license
as milk dealer until it paid $4,000
to approximately 400 milk producers.
The board held the corporation had
been purchasing from the producers
milk at a price lower than it had
fixed.

POnderOuS Government
The Wrong Committee


The open forum held last week by the Senate District
Committee for the purpose of hearing the views of local resi-
dents the ctys problems will doubt assist the COM
nittee in understanding the views of citizens.
But the FORUM held with the best of intentions by the
committee and likely it to result in good for the city,
GOVERNMENT OF THE NATIONAL, CAPITAL.
large number of the proposals made by citizens at the
forum concerned matters which this committee HAS
ABSOLUTELY NO JURISDICTION.
They had to do for the most part with the disgracefu
condition of schools with the burning of trash
public dump while expensive ncneraor lies idle and with
the construction and repair of streets.
Now although Senate District Committee supposed
70 consider all District legislation the part Of the Senate
TT CANNOT DO THING ABOUT THOSE MATTERS.
Those things all involve appropriations and must be dealt
with by the District subcommittee Of the Senate Appropria
tions Committee.
The members of the Senate District Committee pre-
gumed to know about local affairs than the other
bers Of the Senate They citizens their hearings
and listen to their stories Of the needs Of the city
But when it right down to fundamentals those gen.
Neen with all of their knowledge and intimate contact

municipal projects.
The appropriations subcommittee holds the purse strings
and it thus HAS THE POWER TO BLOCK MOST OF THE
EFFORTS OF THE LEGISLATIVE GROUP
The situation of course, exists the other side Of

In fact it is marked in the House than in the

tunate friends that there wasn't
any justice anyway-nothing
but mockery and corruption?
But you were wrong-just as
wrong as the rosy idealists who
expect this half-baked way-Sta-
ton to be a rose-wreathed
Garden of Eden.
us JUSTICE REALLY
JUSTICE?
OF COURSE TT ISN'T.
LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE
IN OUR IMPERFECT HUMAN
LIFE, JUSTICE IS WHAT WE
MAKE 1T.
Justice isn't a divine ideal
and program transplanted, in
toto, from the heavenly archives
into our murky human affairs.
It's a dream of fair dealing-a
vision, still vague and mud
died, of something taller and
finer than our selfishneSs,
cruelty, stupidity and greed.
And in just the proportion that
we are able to express that
dream, we have justice.
Often you're appalled, or en-
ragged at the coWardice or
crookedness of judges, the stu
pidity of juries, the inadequacy
Of our laws. You say these
conditions are abominable.
The Washington times., 1934-01-30

They are. But don't lose faith
in civilization because Of that.
THE WONDER IS THAT
WE HAVE ANY JUSTICE AT
ALL, AS YET.
For we are still such q little
way removed from Savagery.
We have so many generations
of stark brutality behind us.
when the only possible system
was the brute system of "dog
eat dog" And we're still saw
age inside; many Of us little
better than balloons. So that
justice is still not only rare
and miraculous, but actually q
dangerous thing.
It is a dangerous thing to
try to be fair in this selfish,
struggling world. It is danger
Gus to trust people: dangerous
to give the other fellow an
equal chance. The just man
is bound to be misunderstood,
considered a fool and taken
advantage of.
And the honest judge who
tries to dispense justice is not
dealing with absolute right and
wrong, with 100 per cent good
people, 100 per cent bad people.
He is dealing with a bewildering
mixture of goodness and bad
ness, strength and weakness.
No law on earth can tell him
how to solve that mystery per.
fectly, nor is there sufficient un-
derstanding in his undeveloped
spirit. He must simply do the
best he can, and his best must
inevitably fall short of the ideal.
So the wonder isn't that we
have so little justice, but that
we have any at all.
And if you really want to
fight the injustice of the world,
there is just one thing to do
stop grabbing at bungling
judges, and juries, and inef-
ficient laws, and GET BUSY
ON YOURSELF. FOR JUS.

How to Help Kidnapers
Pay Ransom


When you hear kidnapping you sorry first for the
victim and second for the victims relatives friends
Thus you nothing wrong when these relatives friends
agree to pay ransom, in order to get the victim back
That's natural feeling But it is feeling which is
sponsbe for most of the 5000 annual kdnapngs in the
United States and the why this crime increas
ing instead of being stamped out
In countries where the payment of is forbidden
by law, there is virtually NO KIDNAPPING.
There is kidnapping because there is NO MOTIVE for
kidnapping
If ransom will not be paid, why kidnap?
Even the most hardened criminal does not take all the risks
involved merely for the fun of the thing
kidnapping is of course felony, but the payment Of
ransom is COMPOUNDING felony
Both crimes against society
In this country however, though have laws against the
first do not have them against the second Hence the
second motive for the first pays profit
first, and STIMULATES the first.
Not until the payment of ransom is absolutely barred will

But the new fish that people

But, if people don't mind be-

to spread as much information

ing this cold weather.

You are selfish in your life

You ease your conscience with
the thought that when you pro-

Orient Express
OF course, airplane travel
has become the thing in
Europe, especially so because 1t
eliminates the examination OF
passports and baggage at each
frontier, often in the wee small
hours. But the swiftest air
plane will never have the lure
of the Orient express, the most
romantic train in the world.
Ever so many novelists have
staged their entire plot during
one of it's trips, and there are
few novels dealing with CONT
mental Europe that do not
mention this famous express
in one way or another.
Board the Train in Paris
So it isn't surprising to find
that ever so many visitors TO
Europe arrange their itinerary
so that they too may experience

Next morning we are at Stutt-

stop at Munich and then, after
passing through some incredi-

Austrian frontier and head for
Vienna. A little after S o'clock
in the afternoon we arrive at
the Austrian capital. At the
imposing Bahnhof there is al

hint of the Orient in the smol-

The Care of Fish
By Robert Benchley

There is hope for all of us in
the sporadic revival, with high
social sanction, of what used to
be considered strictly bourgeois
pleasures.
When I was a little boy, for
instance, one played backgam-
mon only when one had tonsili-
tbs and could find a disengaged
aunt. Today backgammon is
more au fait than bridge.
And recently We find our
selves confronted with the ne
cessity for keeping fish in an
aquarium if we would be up-to-
the-minute in pet culture. This
must surprise the fish quite as
much as it does some of us old
fish-keepers.
We used to keep goldfish in
my day, but we never thought
of it as a particularly tony feat.
We just had some fish, that was
all. Everyone else in the neigh
borhood has fish, and the thing
was more or less taken for
granted.
And, by the way, I don't re-
member whatever became Of
those goldfish of ours. I sup
