How to walk, the best way to walk
for constitutional purposes, the best
state Of mind during walk
These are questions asked us re-
Gently.
1t always is flattering to note the
trust placed In this column by many
correspondents.
The belief that one knows every
thing" Is helpfull
More power to all kind persons,
everywhere, who look to us for solu-
ton OF their questions.
The Washingtonian who asked the
above may be better walker, but
perhaps has not stopped to think OF
walking.
There Is a difference between doing
thing, and thinking about it.
Acts, not thoughts, are necessary,
in.the last analysis: nevertheless, there
is no gainsaying the fact that some
one else may have a slant on a sub
ject which has not occurred to one.

Every one walks little bit, II no
more than to car or bus.
Thousands In Washington walk to
and from work, so happy are the leafy
streets.
1t Is unpleasant to think that some
day, If progress" continues at too
rapid q gait, the National Capital will
be as treeless all over as most Amer
ican cities.
Then the pedestrian will not be
able to feel that strange sense of
being in the forest while yet in the
city, which has been his priceless
possession here since the foundation.
However that may be, one still can
walk, despite the plain hindrances in
his way in the fast moving shapes of
automobiles.
II he walks at all he might as we'll
consider just what he is doing, and
how to do 1t. The cars will not kill
him unless he forgets where he Is.
The pedestrian well may think that
the motorist ought to consider his own
position behind the wheel more than
he does.
The car driver, he will think, ought
to take more to heart the many deaths
and maimings which have resulted
here in the past year and third.
After horrible tragedies, one might
think lessened speed would result on
our streets and highways, more evil
dent carefulness, as the result Of mo-
torists everywhere coming them over.
The curious thing is that the very
next morning after q killing motorists
everywhere seem to drive faster and
more carelessly than ever.
Let those explain this who will, the
pedestrian wants to know how TO get
the most out of his walking.
Let carefulness, on his own part, be
the basis Of his roaming.
Given this, he may then attend to
the more serious matters Of the me
chanics of walking.
How to Walk" for the great aver
age person, resolves itself into the
question of stride.
There is little doubt that most Of
us attempt to take too long a stride.
The short step is the secret Of easy
walking.
Let us admit that this is contrary
to the usual advice.
We are told to stretch out our legs,
to take good strides as If we meant

Student anti-war strikes are dis
cussed by the press with mild interest.
There is much sympathy for the
movement. but most of the news
papers are not disposed to consider
it important as a real contribution to
the cause of peace.
Nearly everybody breads the pos
sibilities of another war;" says the
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, which
upholds the right Of protest against
war. but adds: THE chief criticism
Of the school movement is that while
exploiting the rights Of citizens, it
overlooks and to some extent denies
their duties. One of these duties is
loyalty to the Constitutional Govern
ment, and service in the defense of
the Nation when it shall be required.
To strike against war, which could
not be without the decree of Congress,
which, in turn, would not be voted,
except there existed a commanding
public opinion for such action, is not
consistent with any ideal of American
patriotism"
Criticising elaborate pledges against
war, the Cleveland News observes:
''The time may come when democracy
has to be defended with something
besides oratory. But the enemies of
democracy are so thoroughly in dis
repute among our collegians that no
doubt the latter would be among the
first to rush to democracy's defense
il it were challenged by armed force. 4"
Such demonstrations often do
more harm than good" says the Bir-
mingham (Ala) News, with the warn
ing that "by taking an attitude which
is too extreme, those who engage in
them frequently obscure the main
ISSUE" The News concludes: "If the
students in our colleges really desire
to serve the cause of world peace, let
them align themselves with the estab-
lished agencies which are working
with such ends in view. Let them
study the existing situations In order
that their leadership in the future
may possess the power and authen-

idealism has not been tempered by q
sense of reality. If members OF the
coming generation can take steps de-
signed to bring about a more civilized
method of settling international dis
agreements, they will not find any
dificulty in enlisting the sympathetic
support Of their elders. But fire
brand tactics will not gain the day"
The movement, however, appears to
the Charlotte IN. c. Observer to "en-
list the sympathy of the country"
because "it is young manhood that is
the chief victim of war;" while the
Akron (Ohio) Beacon Journal argues
as to the futility of war: For all the
billions squandered on the World War,
not one Of the idyllic objectives pro-
claimed as our reason for joining it
has been realized. Dictators have
usurped the sovereignty Of the Eu-
ropean democracies that we set out to
save, and by their arrogance and i'm
perial ambitions have just given civili-
zation another war scare. With such
q defiant answer to the peace and dis
armament missions our Government

How American Clipper
Took Off for Honolulu
To the Editor of The Star:

~ tuc 6QlIUI VI i uC 0thI.
BY chance I was q witness Of the
"take-off" of the Pan-American Clip
per for Honolulu. We are in the
habit In the East Of regarding with a
good deal of skepticism the prepara-
tions and endeavors represented in
the work Of the personnel of these
airplane flights. I have been fortu-
nate enough to learn intimately how
carefully preparations for these
flights are made. The men connected
with them come to the work full
Of that heroism that spells con-
slant experience with danger and
even the knowledge of possible death.
This flight had been planned for over
two years. The selection of the crew
was made within the last six months.
Capt. Edwin c. Musick has been flying
erick j. Noonan is a master mariner
with % years of experience at sea.
His work in connection with this flight
was to teach American aviation by
q practical example of how important
the laws of navigation are as applied
to flying. 1t was his duty to guide
the course in such fashion as to pre-
vent forced landing that would be
due to the pilots losing connection
with the guides which they have
through their radio.
The Pan-American Clipper was
built for experimental oceanic flights
We owe great debt to the directors
of the Pan-American Airways for
sponsoring this effort to conquer q
route by air between us and the
Orient. To watch the Clipper as it
sailed out of the Alameda Airport
across the bay over San Francisco
represented the course that the plane
must take to Honolulu was to watch
again the Santa Maria of Columbus
leave on the voyage that was to dis
cover the Americas. The actual time
Of the take-off was 30 seconds. 1t
represented the speed. with which we
move in 1885.
1t Is my hope that soon the isola-
tion and ignorance that causes the
anger and jealousy that make for
war between nations will be eradi-
Gated through these messengers Of
good will: One cannot help but feel
that money spent educating the
American public to a greater value
and understanding of his fellow man
will really bring the good will and
peace that we celebrate in honor
ON Easter Sunday.

Another Dictator.

Messrs. Stain, Mussolini, Hitler, Pill
sudski and the other members of the
autocratic fraternity in Europe vel
come q new recruit today. King Boris
Of Bulgaria joins the ranks of the die
tators. At Sofia on Monday, after
forestalling a projected coup d'etat
and rebellion by military leaders, the
forty-one-year old monarch seized su-
preme power for himself. The nation
at large applauds and approves his ac-
tion, believing that he has saved Bull
garia from revolution and civil war.
It was amid q typically Balkan set
ting that Boris decided to take mat
ters In his own hands and meet q
fresh threat to his authority and na-
tional tranquility by the mailed-fist
method. Ever since the army coup
d'etat of May, 1894, which set up q
Fascist government with Col. Kimon
Gueorguier as premier, extremist OIL
GERS Of the Military League have held
the country in their grip. This situa-
tion prevailed until last week, when
the cabinet resigned. Realizing that
the King would exploit this develop
ment as an opportunity to re-estab-
lish civil and constitutional govern
ment and his own authority, the Mill
tary Leaguers planned q coup. Boris
heard Of it and decided upon stern
measures to nip it in the bud. He
summoned the ringleaders to the pal
ace. They defiantly proclaimed their
determination not to tolerate q purely
civilian regime. The King was not
impressed by the officers turbulence.
Instead, he drafted two hundred loyal
students of the Military Academy,
who proceeded to place the rebellious
ofacers under arrest in the throne
room. Thereupon the King took over
all important government offices and
buildings under heavy guard, quietly
set up his own cabinet and transferred
the administration Of various depart
ments to civilians in whom he has i'm
plicit trust.
As . first step in restoring normal
conditions, the royal dictator has
ordered the formulation Of q consti-
tuition designed to give Bulgaria new
deal. He has moved with swiftness
and courage that have persuaded his

And Now-Get the Loan.

Passage by the House yesterday of
the bill authorizing P. w. A. loan
to the District for construction of
three buildings in Judiciary Square
for the Police Court, Municipal Court,
Juvenile Court and recorder of deeds
ofice ought to assure the realization
of this long-delayed project. The
Senate has passed the bill and will
doubtless agree to the House amend
ment authorizing a small loan for
Children's Hospital.
There is an extraordinary unan-
unity of opinion regarding the need
for the new buildings. Congress
recognized that need six or seven
years ago in authorizing q new build
ing for the Police Court, and the
building would probably be standing
now, but for its having been side
tracked by the Municipal Center prof.
ect. Now that the Municipal Center
project as originally planned has been
indefinitely abandoned, and the courts
buildings planned for new location
and separated entirely from the prob
lem of Municipal Center financing,
there is hope that the lending author
titles may be prevailed upon to grant
the loan.
The Commissioners, the judges, the
District Bar Association, the Board of
Trade, the Federation of Citizens As
sociations and others have at one time
or another during the past five years
urged the erection Of these buildings.
The Department Of Justice. which has
a specific responsibility in the conduct
of the local courts, might well lend its
influence TO the movement by local
citizens and work with them to secure
the loan. For while some of the dif1i-
culties under which the police courts
are now laboring in the disposition Of
the tens OF thousands OF cases brought
before them annually may be due to a
system that was never designed to
stand the present strains, others are
due to nothing less than lack of
room. The crowding at Police Court
is disgraceful. An adequate building
would at least eliminate some Of the
congestion.
Commissioner Hazen is to be COM
mended for his leadership in obtain
ing this legislation, now approved by
both houses of Congress. His next
move will probably be to organize all
arguments in favor of the building
program to convince Secretary Ickes
and other lending authorities Of the
advantages in an immediate start on
the work.

adviser of the President signs his name to this:

that to expect the Government to replace private

expect the impossible. Even the most radical de-

sense can conceive of purposes to which more than
one-third of this amount could be spent IN given

dollars is the estimated potential demand for the
