LEAGUE COURT
ACTION NOW
OPPOSED
Senate Leaders Reported to
Be Against Pressing for
Vote at This Session
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News Service

Fearful of provoking an all
summer session of the Senate,
Administration leaders today were
reported quietly opposing a peace
organization drive to force i'm
mediate action on the revised
HurSt-Root formula for American
adherence to the League Court.
The peace organizations won
the first step by securing public
hearing before the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee. The hear
ing, to be held tomorrow, will
give proponents Of the court an
opportunity to present their de-
mands for prompt ratification Of
the treaty.
Led by Newton Baker
The drive for ratification was
led by Newton D. Baker, the
former wartime Secretary Of War,
and Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait,
honorary chairman of the Ma
tional Committee on Causes and
Cure of War.
They were supported by Mrs
Kate Trenholm Abrams, of the
League of Nations Association,
and Mrs. George A. Wyeth, head
of the National Committee on the
World Court.
Rumors prevailed that Senator
Key Pittman (DO of Nevada,
chairman of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, planned to
bring the pact to a vote in that
body.
Favorable Report
The committees present men,
bership would report the treaty
favorably, if a vote is taken,
thus forcing the issue directly
before the Senate.
President Roosevelt has indi
Gated he does not favor this
course. To date, however, he has
taken no steps to prevent it. On
the other hand, Administration
floor leaders privately expressed
expressed opposition to injecting
a League Court fight into the
present session, when all the Ad'
ministration's influence is needed
to expand and protect the Presi'
dents relief program. A poll last
winter disclosed the Senate was
opposed to ratification.

Quest for Unseen
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.

"He hath made everything beautiful in
its time: also He hath set eternity in their
heart. iii:11.
WHAT wonderful world is this
everything beautiful in its
time" and everywhere the sweet
strains of harmonious sound as we'll
as beauty And yet "the eye Is not sat-
isfled with seeing nor the ear filled
with hearing" Why? Why this un-
satisfied eye in world where sunrise
and sunset, hills and the sea, Spring
blossom and Summers rose, are offer
ed for our delight? Why this IN
filled ear in a world made musical by
the song of birds and the murmur
of running water? With all our see
ing, what do we still look for? With
all our hearing. what do we still strain
to hear? Have the sights and sounds
Of earth grown stale to our senses?
Not so! The world Is not stale. It
is new every morning, day-by-day
surprise of beauty and harmony. THE
heavens declare the glory of God and
work" But something is wanting. We
look for something that is not here.
The quest begins in youth. Even
in childhood we must needs commune
with the unseen. In childhood we
create a make-believe world. and
people il with fairies and invisible
playmates. And then, when we grow
up and the fancy world of childhood
fades. we still look for another world
that is not this world. AS full of
wonder and beauty as this world Is. it
is not enough to keep our young eyes
from searching for something that is
missing. Though our youth be filled
with merriment and song, still the ear
is wont to be strained to catch echoes
from other spheres. And though
father and mother, brother and sis
ter and friends are a goodly COM
pany, they are not company enough
to fill our solitude.
We were born with an urge to
look for a world behind the world
that meets the eye of physical sense;
to listen for voice that never falls
upon the ear; to seek companion
who Is not of the circle Of human
companions we have. This world is
not enough for us. He hath set eter-
nifty in our heart"
Where shall we look for the answer
to our questing heart? Christ came
that we might look at things not
seen, that we might reach to the hand
outstretched behind the veil, that we
might find the Invisible Companion of
our dreams. The eye is satisfied that
sees Him. The ear is filled that
hears His voice Blessed are they
that walk with Him, whom, having
not seen, ye love; on whom, though
now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye
rejoice greatly with Joy unspeakable
and full of glory"

ITO SIT in the basket Of a balloon
and eat lunch after a drop
from the sky into the arms
L Of tree is strange thing to
do, but 1t was done by three
Englishmen who lived a century and
half ago.
The men were Jonathan Lock-
wood, George Blake and Maj. John
Money. On June day in 1785 they
rose to a height of about 8 miles.
Then they let some of the gas out OF
the bag and came down in the midst
of Milemans Woods, 81 miles from
London. Resting amid the tree
branches, heyslaughed and talked as
they ate the food which they had
brought with them.
To take away weight, Blake STEP
ped out Of the basket, and as soon as
he did so the balloon leapt upward
again. After 45-minute ride, Money
.and Lockwood returned safely to the
ground.
The next month Maj. Money, who
was 33 years of age, made solo
flight. A great crowd had gathered
to watch him, and at O'Clock in the
afternoon Of the warm Summer day
he started to rise.
The air was calm, hardly a Leaf
stirring on a tree, when the ascent
was begun, but as Money went upward
strong breeze caught hold of the
balloon bag and swept it toward the
southeast.
Gazing below. the young man was
able to see the coast of the North
Sea. If he did not go down at once,
he would be carried out over the
water, probably to die when the bal
loon lost its power. He pulled at a
cord to open the valve, but alas, it

after the beginning of the flight its
upward lift was not strong enough to
hold the weight of the man in the
bowl-like basket. Down he dropped
until he found himself splashing in
the water.
The remaining gas held the bag in
the air, and the airman clung to the
ropes. With fine courage, he held on
for hours in the hope that help would
come. The bag sank low over the
water, was lashed by the waves and
lost more and more of its gas. The
ropes were cutting the mans hands,

Bird Migrants
BY d. c. PEATTIE.

D ~ ~ + EA i kEs
60 many birds, like the passenger
pigeon and the Carolina paroquet,
that once migrated through the
District, will never come again, that it
Is a pleasure to record that any kind
Of bird, short Of cowbirds, is growing
ccmmoner. Bachman's sparrow is
one Of them, and while I know
more about this bird in Georgia. than
do in the District, the best of
authorities agree that 1t is gradually
extending its range northward.
The only time it was ever pointed
out to me in the District I thought,
in my ignorance, that it was a towhee
Not that it looks especially like one.
1t Is distinctly smaller, the upper
parts streaked with black and ash,
with ashy lines over the eyes and the
edge of the wing yellow, the under
sides buff, shaded with ash, and the
breast brown. But it sounded like our
"chewink" with its bold, almost pierre
ing "chee- -tchip!"
If you like to be one Of the elect
who cite rare birds, then Bachman's
sparrow should interest you, for it is
still rare enough in the District to
make its presence worth writing home
to mother about.
Sparrows are seldom the favorite
birds of the beginner. At first they
all look alike-little fat birds in dingy
costumes that say chip"
But they don't all say "chip" by
any means. The field sparrow can be
almost as shrill and gay as a canary.
The song sparrow is our most per-
sistent and varied melodist. I have
recently written in praise of the tree
sparrow and often of the white throat.
AS for the modest garb of sparrows,
that is a matter of taste. AS one be-
gins to study them closely the subtle
differences in their plumage come out.
A babe can tell bluebird from car
dinal. There is some real sport in
learning the sparrows apart.
Who, you may ask, was Bachman?
To get full reply you must go to
Charleston. John Bachman. Lutheran
preacher from the Dutch" belt of
Pennsylvania, came to Charleston.
When Audubon came, friendless and
seeking subscribers for his set of books
upon birds, illustrated by his own,
unknown hand, it was Bachman who
befriended him and opened the doors
of the vine-wreathed city. Together
Bachman and Audubon toured the
then wild South a-birding. Audu-
bon's two sons married Bachman's two
daughters. What the simple and re-
firing little Luthern pastor didn't
know about birds in his corner of the
world was scarcely worth finding out.
When the War of Secession came,
Bachman opened the famous secession
meeting at Columbia with prayer
When Charleston fell, Bachman,
against his will, was persuaded to es-
cape by the last train. Even so. he did
not escape insult and injury. But the
scars of war were healed. One of the
first to forgive his enemies, he was the
sooner forgiven by them, and he died
man rich in honors and esteem.

"HE Summer frock of printed
silk, shown in the sketch, was
chosen from famous collec-
i tion of clothes for large
women. Every detail of it
suggests that well bred air of charm
and dignity that every mature woman
aspires to have when she appears on
the street.
The design is one of well studied
simplicity. 1t has been kept very
plain, but for the ripping jabot that
fastens with a button in the back
and which is made detachable for
easy laundering. The neckline is
completely finished and collars of
different types may be worn alter
nately.
The capelet feature is one that is
used in many of the latest Summer
frocks. Here it acts not only as a
detail that gives the dress the new
silhouette lines, but as a fitting sub
stitute for sleeves, giving the covered
shoulder effect that this seasons
frocks all have Note particularly the
irregular line with which it Is at
tached in the front. 1t is different
from most capes and appears to even
greater advantage when the jabot is
omitted.
Materials for the incoming season
are to be light and dainty and fresh.
Every one is to enjoy being feminine
even the large woman must wear
ripping revers and flowers on her
frocK, for this is an age of flesh-and-
blood women, and with their figures
in mind, many designers have found
inspiration for some of their best

sat South and played the hand in
three no trumps. West opened
spade, East played the ace and re-
turned that suit; ran my clubs after
taking in the two high hearts, and
eventually played the diamond queen,
which West covered. On the last
trick, conceded diamond to West,
who never discarded one of that suit
Five odd, and I thought that nobody
would top that score, though. of
course, did not expect any one to
make less than five odd. 1t seemed
like a sure all-around tie unless some
competitors had contracted for five
clubs or reached six-which is made
by virtue of the diamond finesse. If
this had to fail. even five clubs could
not be made unless the ace of spades
were in the East hand.
After the score chart had been
posted on the bulletin board, I
checked up the scores on the chart
with my own record of each hand,
and found that John Law of Cleve-
land had made six no trumps, a clean
top by 40 points (the value of the
extra trick. On previous occasions I
have written up for you some of
Johnny Laws master plays. One of
his greatest delights is to win the
critical trick with deuce, to make
that card master card when it is
not really so through being the last
of its suit still unplayed. He put a
deuce to work again in this hand
which was played in the national
open contract pair championship of
the American Bridge League at Gin
cinnati last December. His method
was pseudo Vienna coup"
The play was as follows: The spade
Is opened, won and returned. Now
declarer leads out his two high hearts,
but he discards the nine and ten from
his own hand, keeping the deuce.
West now concludes that South has
retained either the jack of hearts or
else has no other heart left. Six clubs
are taken in, and West on the tenth
trick must discard from the queen
Of hearts and his three diamonds.
He concludes that South must have
the jack of hearts, as East has dis
carded spade, two diamonds and
a heart, and decides that it is better
to play East for the queen of dia-
monds rather than for the high
hearts. So he discards a diamond,

thus enabling declarer to win the
last three tricks and make six odd
East could not realize that he had to
throw away all five hearts in order
to relieve his partner of a guess;
moreover. he did not know that
South did not originally hold @ 10 3
in hearts until it was too late. as
the declarer carefully played his clubs
so that the second lead was from
dummy. Consequently East had to
discard before he knew that West
held only two, clubs, locating six in
the deoiarer's hand; so the spade dis
card on the second round came al
most automatically out of East's hand
The humble deuce of hearts was the
hidden menace which tricked West
