stilled by the statement that
he was sailing on an Ameri-
can ship and to an American
possession so that actually he
was not leaving American ter
ritory while in office.
Woodrow Wilson was the first
President to go abroad while in
office. And his two trips to
Europe caused considerable COM
ment as he broke the precedent
of generations. He sailed on a
passenger ship which now is a
rusting hulk that swings at
i anchor, deserted, in the Patux-
ent River.
The ill-fated Warren G. Hard
ing went to Alaska and on his
trip stopped off in the Dominion
of Canada. Far better for him
it would have been had he
stayed at home.
President Franklin D. RooSe-
velt sails on a Navy cruiser.
His stops will be Haiti, the
Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico,
Colombia, the Canal Zone and
Hawaii.
He will be a long way from
home, far off from the Capital
of his country.
In all probability, however,
he will be in more constant
touch with affairs than any
other Chief Executive that has
ventured away from home in
his term of office.
The cruiser on which he sails
has one of the most powerful
radios manufactured and by
it's use the President will be
almost as close to his people
as when he is in the mansion
on Pennsylvania Avenue.
For the first time, Bill Don
aldson, superintendent of the
House press gallery, went with
a group of the boys on the
pilot boat of the Virginia Pilots
Association for cruise down
the river.
The boat was in the Potomac
taking soundings for future use.
On board, Bill was first sub
mitted to the customary initi-
alton given those who attend
the annual cruise. With his
head swathed IN paper towel
ing, he was drenched with cold
water after uttering a few
mystic incantations.
Then down the river came a
squall.
With the rest of the boys, Bill
was rushed below decks, where
the captain issued terse orders.
He told the men what they
should do in the event of trou-
BILE and what lifeboats they
would use.
Although he claims otherwise.
Bill was worried. He whispered
to the captain:
"Is there any Ganger?"
The captain told him you
never can tell," and advised
that if he were suddenly called
on deck he should secure all his
clothing and rush up the COM
panionWay.
Soon thereafter the captain
shouted down from the deck:
"All hands on deck!"
Bill scrambled up the ladder,
his arms full Of clothes.
The water was as calm as q
lily pond. The captain merely
wanted the boys to get up in the
air.

A new fear is creeping into the
minds of the Virgin Islanders.
Fighting to secure the with
drawal of Governor Paul M.
Pearson, they are wondering
whether or not they will be rid
of him even in the event the
President should appoint a sue
ceSSor.
Under the harter of the
mOnOpOlistic company set up at
the direction of the Interior De-
partment which administers the
Islands, Pearson is definitely in
charge, being specifically named
in the law.
The Islanders new fear is
that even if Pearson is removed
as governor he will remain di-
rector of the company which
was given $1,000,0OO by the
PWA as capital.
The company was created by
an act of the Colonial Council
of st. Thomas and st. John OF
the Islands. The act names
Pearson.
Consequently the Islanders
fear that it will take another
act of the council to remove him
but they add that as the money
was granted by United States
Government agency, it may be
necessary for Congress or courts
to destroy Pearson's privilege OF
remaining at its head.
The company, having a COM
pIete monopoly on every indus
try of the island, is vitally
important in the islands wei
fare and can ruin or rehabili-
tate them according to the
methods of the directors, the
inhabitants point out.
They are somewhat fearful
of Governor Pearson's ability
to bring them out Of economic
depression.
A chautauqua with which he
was connected before President
Hoover named him governor Of
the Virgin Islands went into
bankruptcy. Pearson, himself, =,
later was a bankrupt in Penn
sylvania courts.
Con; >quently, Virgin Island
ers are somewhat skeptical.
When President Hoover was
asked to remove Pearson he
said:
"Give him another chance
"He has not committed an
overt act yet"
Pearson was a member OF
Hoover's party and Pearson's
brother had been active in
helping the Republican party.
He is not a Democrat. His
relatives have not been OF
assistance to the Democratic
party. And the Virgin Island
ers are wondering why Presl-
dent Roosevelt retains him in
the face of tremendous obJec-
ton.
President Roosevelt sails for
a long vacation in foreign
waters and in territory outside
the United States.
In so doing he follows a pre-
cedent set by only a few other
Presidents while in office.
His relative and predecessor
in the White House, Theodore
Roosevelt sailed on a Navy ship
to make a survey of the
Panama Canal. The hue and
cry that arose was partially

The Human Side of the News
Many Forces Oppose Spread of Nudism
Bu EdlUiu G.. Hill

To cover or to uncover. That
is the burning question, with
the sun doing the burning. The
summer solstice, with it's blaze
of heat, stirs the nudists to a
new advance. While they
haven't any pockets out of
which to, pull statistics, they
produce SSAem just the same, to
show A dstical up-curves, along
with Il other disclosures.
Disc nting a bit of the op-
timistic claims of the sun ad-
diets, there is pretty good au-
thority for the statement that
there are now in America about
100000 persons who have re-
nounced clotheS-that is, at
such times and places as the
law may sanction.
The John Laws are lifting
their eyebrows. While the vast
agencies of the Government are
centered on helping millions of
persons to get clothes, it may
soon be that Uncle Sam will
have to deal with other multi.
tudes intent on throwing them
away: Even bright Elysian,
back-to-nature cults somehow
make life more complicated.
Numbers Grow
Two jealous high priests of
nudism exhort their followers
to follow them back to the
Garden of Eden. They are the
Rev. 1Sley Bone, a Baptist min
lister, and Henry Stanley Hunt
ington, a Presbyterian minister.
Within a radius of 80 miles
of New York, there are Is
nudists camps, with about
5000 campers. In SUMMER climes,
from Florida to California, the
camps have been increasing in
number during the last two or
three years-earnest, be-spec-
tacled, middle-aged, bookish
people, moStly-building the
facade of a new ethic as they
seek a return to mans primeval
estate.
From the beginning, sun
worshippers have rendered their
homage to sunlight, and in
voked its healing and restora-
tive power. Postwar years have
left wide gaps in the ramparts
of the old conventions and
out of the Victorian age, with
it's chin-to-toe bathing suits,
come the nudistS, proclaiming
a new heaven and new
earth-"with nothing on at ALL"
as the old pink pajama song
has it.
The kultur of the nude found
its chief exponentS in Germany.
Important results besides merely
that of acquiring a beautiful
toast brown, were declared to
follow the discarding of clothes.

 Meeting August 27

Kansas City, Mo, tUp)--The young man who enters tho law practice should do so' with tho purpose of giving service rather than making money, according to Earl W. Evans, president of tho American Bar association.
 Tho law profession now has 175,000 members and is over. crowded with men who entered "just to mako money" Tho time has come, however, when thoso in the field for merconary purposes And ita not so profitable, Evans believes.
 "if the young lawyers upper. most thought is to make money, he would fare better In some other field. Tho lcgnl profession was born in the tradition of scrv- Ing tho individual lawyers day and generation, and it must not be chased us q money making vocation.
 "Sorvlcc should be the domin- ant idea in tho lawyers mind. Those who start out to mako money, usually are tho oncs who are unsuccessful in accomplishing their purpose"

PACIFIC COAST
 STRIKE IS VERY
 NEAR VIOLENCE
Assistant Secretary of Labor McG Grady Is Try.
 ing to Settle It

San Francisco, June 25-(UP)-- Violence threatened on two fronts today as Assistant Secretary of Labor Edward F. McGrady sought to effoct settlement of the Pncitic coast maritime workers strike which has paralyxod sea commerce sinco May Q.
 Threatened disorders centered at San Francisco and Portland. Ton thousand strikers and sympa- thixers planned to mass on tho San Francisco waterfront to pre- vent any attempts by shipping lines to work ships with striko' breakers.
 Police, mounted and on foot, were massod on the city's historic cobblo-stoned embarcadero to pre-: won't disorders. They were armed with guns, clubs and tear gas.
 At Portland, police tightond dc. lenses by stationing 100 officers at municipal terminals as q precau- ton against attempts to open the port by force. The police dotach. ment was equipped with cots nnd other equipment for permanent occupancy.
 Los Angeles and Seattle watcr- fronts were comparatively quiet.
 Mc(irady, two-fstod former A. r. of l.. official, hoped to effect a compromise plan acceptable t0 both shipping lines and the ??,- 900 maritime workers.
 Violence fiared Sunday at Oak land and San Francisco water: fronts. Moro than 100 alleged strikers ralded tho steamship W.T. liam Mckinley, docked at Oakland, and beat Frank c. Davis, watch man, and pillaged tho vessel. Po- lice dispersed the crowd with clubs and tear gas.
 Bands of motorized strikers rov- cd San Francisco, hurling bottles of strong chemicals into homes of pier and shipping llno officials Several non-striking shipping coni- pany employees were beaten.
