An Airport Crash

Whatever chance there Of getting action the
projected model airport National Capital have
been EFFECTIVELY KILLED by the House.
may strange that by passing bill which apparently
provides action the project the House could have doomed
it. but that is one peuares of the of the
District of Columbia
The bill passed by the House provides for setting two
successive commissions Of which would select site and
other of which would construct and operate the airport
The procedure which would be set is sort Of like going
around Robin Hoods barn. especially after half dozen
tees and commissions have already spent about 10
selecting various sites and discardlng them.
But the coup de grace given hopes for airport when
the House adopted amendment to the bill providing that
ALL OF THE EXPENSE of the airport should be borne by
the District of Columbia the of which will not
have pennies rub against each other at the end Of the
fiscal year.
The House proclaimed that the halfmiion residents Of
Washington pay all the of providing airport
and which would be used time largely for the
business of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
modern adequate airport is certainly needed in the
National Capital but 1T Is NOT NEEDED ONLY BY THE
RANK AND FILE OF OUR TAXPAYERS.
It is needed far by the NATION than by the CITY
NATION pay much the CITY for construction
and maintenance of the port.
Such bill House has passed fortunately stands little
chance of passage in the Senate.
That body far likely to take reasonable and just
view of the situation and to pass THE KIND OF AIRPORT
BILL THAT SHOULD BE PASSED.
But the Senate likely to attempt to kind
airport bill during the session because of the
bOtch which House has made of that kind of legislation
As result it will probably be another year two before
airport legislation passed and additional before the
port is ready for operation.
In meantime anyone flying into the National Capital
takes his life in his hands.

genius he had than jefferson,
but, as Henry Clay said, to
Madison was given more judg-
ment and common sense.
Three years ago, midway of
the great celebration of the two
hundredth anniversary of the
birth of George Washington,
busts of white marble were
placed in the several inches of
the rotunda of the capitol at
Richmond of the eight Presi-
dents of the United States who
were born in Virginia-George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson,
James Madison, James Monroe,
william Henry Harrison, John
Tyler, Zachary Taylor and
Woodrow Wilson.
UNIQUE PLACE
On the occasion of the unveil-
ing of the bust of Madison, the
address was delivered by the
Chief Justice of the United
States. In introducing him, the
Governor of Virginia said OF
Chief Justice Hughes:
"He holds unique place in
the affections of the American
people. The admiration and
esteem in which he is held is
not limited by sectional, class,
or party lines. He is univer-
sally respected for his character,
his ability, his patriotism, and
the sOundness of his Judgment"
Subsequent events have re-
affirmed this appraisal of the
Chief Justice. They have also
enhanced the significance of
some of the things the Chief
Justice said of the most pro-
found scholar among the
Founders and Fathers"
"The basic proposal of the
Virginia Plan (of which Madison
was the principal authOr) was
that National Legislature, a
National Executive, and a Ma
tional Judiciary should be eStab-
lished.' In thus providing for
national power, supreme within
it's sphere, for national legisla-
ture, which should make laws
binding upon the people as a
whole in the same manner as
the laws of the State within its
sphere bound the people Of the

Unsuccessful Conclusions
Many of the things you have
attempted have failed as a re-
suit of your own conviction
that you would not be sue
ceSSful.
It is surprising that you
should make an attempt in that
mood.
Defeated before you start
and by yourself!
Isn't that an Indictment?
Unless you have confidence
in yourself, don't make the
effort.
You may not be able to see
every step of the way before
you.
But you should feel that you
will be able to do what you
start out to accomplish.
Half-hearted efforts are un.
successful efforts.
Perhaps one of the reasons
you have made such an indif-
ferent success of life is that
you are always doubtful of
your ability.
Half-hearted at the beginning
and downhearted all the way
through.
That does not sound like a
successful undertaking.
Obstacles come up in any
business, no matter how worth
while.
Sell yourself to yourself:
then go ahead with your plans.
You never know what YOU
can do till you try.
And you might be much sur.

He grew and he grew, how

He began to be considered as

So he was transferred to

A Vital Principle
BY James T. Williams, Jr.

State, the Plan went to the
heart of the existing evils.
1T is not extravagant to say,
as John Fiske has said, that
this was the supreme act Of
creative craftsmanship which
made our country what it is
and that it is to Madison we
owe this grand and luminous
conception of the two co.exiSt-
ing and harmonious spheres Of
government. -
I'm this fundamental respect
Madison stands forth as the
chief architect Of our political
structure"
madison very clearly recOg-
niZed the necessity Of providing
for invalidating State legislation
which might be repugnant to
the Federal authority as granted
by the Constitution. Refer
ring to what ne termed the 'su-
premacy of the judicial power
in this respect, Madison said in
one of his latest writings:
"T have never ceased to think
that this supremacy was a vital
principle of the Constitution, as
it is a prominent feature in its
text. 1 have never been able
to see that without such a view
of the subject the Constitution
in itself could be the supreme
law of the land; or that the
UNIFORMITY of the Federal
authority throughout the par
ties to it could be preserved: or
that without this UNIFORMITY
anarchy and diSunion could be
prevented
"That was MadisOn's view Of
the essential function of the Su-
preme Court of the United
States"
HOMAGE DUE
Success in solving our prob
lens lies in a wise application
of MadisOn's controlling prin-
ciple of the maintenance Of a
strong national Government to-
gether with the essential au-
thOrity of the States over their
local affairs, and with constant
respect for those individual
rights which experience and
conscience teach us should be
inviOIable.
"It was prominently the po-
liticaI genius of Madison which
has given us opportunity, and
we shall profit in our use of
it to the extent that we emu
late his example in making
reason, and not emotion, our
guide. We need leadership in
thought even more than leader
ship in action"
On this anniversary to James
Madison who gave that leader
ship" as his eulogist who heads
the Great Tribunal today truly
said, when it was needed
most" a grateful country may
we'll render the homage due

chemists of old sought to
change base metal into gold be-
cause they wanted the riches
that gold brought. The physic-
lists of today want to effect the
change because of the vast
quantities of energy that are
liberated when the change oc-

lions of tons of coal and oil
have to be mined, transported
and burned every "a hours.
If the sun and stars had to
burn fuel, in order to maintain
their radiant energy, the uni
verse would have been cold and

POWER SOURCE
Old Dame Nature does not
burn fuel in order to produce
energy. Geological, biological
and physical evidence assure us
that the sun has radiated heat
energy upon earth for some
thing like 1000 million years.
Whence has come all this
heat, II no fuel has been
burned? From the laboratories
comes the news that it is sup
piled by transmutation of mat
ter, and annihilation of matter,
or both.
The power engineer regards
the obtaining Of large amounts
Of energy from sub-atomic re-
actions, such as transmutation
or annihilation of matter, as a
"pipe dream" wonderful to
speculate about but unworthy Of
serious thought.
The physicist regards it as a

And respect you,
And fight with you!
But no one believed!
Instead they Sneered
CAS- you are sneering nowD
They said you were
Too young, too weak
To be trusted,
Too ignorant to know
What life was all about
And they laughed
At your dreams
And their laugh
Was like a lash
To your young pride!
Do you remember
The sting of that laugh?
And the hurt of the slow
DiSilluSionment
AS, one after another,
Your dreams were shattered,
And your ideals fouled
By cowardice and compromise?
Have you forgotten
The secret tears you shed
AS you saw your life
Growing narrow and dingy.
Your frantic revolt
AS you felt
The prison walls
Closing around you?
Believe in youth!
For the sake of your own
Young weakness,
Forgive the weakness
OF youth
Because of your own
Young dreams,
Have faith in the dreams
OF youth
In pity of your own
Young heartacheS,
Have compassion on
The struggles of youth!

For Youth is not My

It is also
Your lost self.
Its dreams
Are the dreams
You once had
It's fury once burned
In your heart
The torch you dropped
Has been picked up
BY these young hands.
The hands are weak,
But the flame
Is bright and beautiful.

day and in the stars by night.
He insists that if it can be done
on the huge scale we see in the
heavens, it can be done on a
small scale here on earth.
He regards it as no more out
side the bounds of human capac-
ity than other past scientific
achievements. He envisionS a
tomorrow, when a barrel OF
water a day, or a few tree
Stumps. will furnish power for
a great utility company; when
10 pounds of matter will drive
an ocean greyhound across the
Atlantic and back; when a hand
ful of it will drive an airplane
around the world, and a pinch
no larger than a bean will drive
a motor car for month.
LATE DEVELOPMENTS
Probably the astronomer is a
bit optimistic, just as the power
engineer may be bit pessinlis-
tic. The astronomer proposes
manipulating the atoms of an
element as Nature manipulates
them, so that, either the mega
tive charges (electrons) and the
positive charges (protons) will
combine to pass out of existence,
leaving radiant energy, or a
new element will be built out
of several atoms of another ele-
ment and liberate energy in the
process.
An example of this is the
transmutation of hydrogen into
helium. The helium atoms con-
sist of what is represented by
four hydrogen atoms.
However, when four hydro
gen atoms are transmitted into
one helium atom, the weight OF
the helium atom has not the
weight of four hydrogen atoms.
Something has been lost and it
lately has been shown that this
loss of weight appears in the
form of energy. Matter has been
annihilated.
At one time in the past,
Earth's supply Of helium prob
ably was created out of hydro
gen. This process, and also the
building of other elements from
hydrogen, is what is going on
in the sun and stars at the pres
enC time.
The latest developments indi-
cate that we shall soon be do
ing it here on earth by sub
atomic bombardment.
It looks as if the astronomer
had the best of the argument.
