Hollanders Live on Water

OF all the nomads OF the earth,
the gypsy with his caravan, the
Bedouin with his camel, the Hol-
lander with his "tjalk" is to be en-
We'd. From 10000 to 100000 Hol-
landers live on the water day and
night. Their barges are as attrac-
tive floating cottages as could be
seen anywhere. They usually own
them, and the children frequently
marry into other barges. An ele-
waited poop at the stern Is fitted up
with "all the comforts Of home,"
gaily painted, 1t is often a good imi-
tation OF a typical Dutcl cottage.
To complete the cottai.e atmos-
phere, plants and the ser iblance Of
a garden will run both s.des OF the
tiller.

What makes me think of a wom-
an barber at this point, is some
thing I do not know. Women bar
bers are not so common as they
used to be, but there is one who
has been practicing her art in the
Borough hall section Of Brooklyn
for the last 25 years. Business men
are her customers. One has been
coming in for shave every morn
ing since the shop opened. He al
ways gives the barber a dollar bill
and never takes any change. Many
other regular patrons have been
going there for years.
The start, according to present
plans, is to be made on Park ave-
nue., between One Hundred Elev-
enth and One Hundred Fifteenth
streets, about June /. The New
York Central railroad runs above
ground there and the railroad cle-
waited structure will serve as a roof
for 467 stalls, each by s feet. The
cost will be 100000 and in return
the city will receive $3.50 a week
rental from each merchant.

HOW JUDGES ARE CHOSEN

With the signature of the 0over-
nor, confidently expected. Constitu-
tional Amendment No. 3. approved
by the people last November, will become
the law in this state
1t provides for plan of selecting ius-
tees of the supreme court, the district
court OF appeals and superior courts
through semi-appointive system and is
a progressive step in removing the state
judiciary from control of politics.
When vacancy occurs in any of these
courts, the governor appoints a qualified
person to fill the office. The governors
appointment, however, is subject to ap-
proval of commission on qualifications
consisting of the chief justice of the
supreme court, the presiding justice of
the district court of appeals and the at
torney general of the state
Upon confirmation of the governors
appointment by this commission, the per-
son selected assumes the office and re-
talns 1t until the next ensuing general
election when his name automatically
goes on the ballot for final approval by
the people. In the event that he is not
elected by the people vacancy is Great
ed and another appointment made, the
same procedure, with final choice rest
ing upon the people, being followed in
each case. Provisions for removing
judges from office by recall or impeach-
ment are not affected by the new plan.
Names of higher court judges and
justices will therefore automatically ap-
pear on the ballot at each general cleo
ton as incumbents, unopposed, running
solely on their records
When the governor signs the bill it
will enable the various counties to adopt
the new method of selecting judges.
Each county, however, desiring to select
its judges under this plan, will have to
obtain approval of the people of the
county at countrywide election. The
bill provides the machinery for so doing
by authorizing the supervisors to place
the proposition on the ballot or permit
ting it to be done by initiative petition.
Proponents of the measure feel con-
fident the plan will speed up operation
of court calendars by relieving judges
of the necessity of running for office and
further should bring to the office men
of experience, as the committee on quail
fications is not likely to approve the ap
pointment of inexperienced jurists for
positions on the bench.

"DONT QUOTE
ME"
BY United Press

WASHINGTON, May 18. UR)-In
the view of some 1900 folks who
work for the NRA, conditions seem
to keep going from bad to worse.
Working for the blue eagle. they
point out, never has been cinch
In the early days of Gen. Hugh S.
Johnson the staff worked until all
hours of the night and seven days
a week TO get the code system to
functioning.
And since then they have been
worrying about their jobs.
These worries reached a high
point about the time of Johnson S
resignation. In an effort to restore
morale, johnson assembled all the
workers and gave them a vigorous
pep talk. He told them that their
jobs in private business. In the
That helped for while.
But this talk about NRA aboli-
ton and temporary extension
brought on another set of nerves.
Many obtained transfers to other
departments or started looking for
jobs in privaet business. In the
press section alone there have been
about eight designations in recent
weeks, the last contingent having
just left to join the new works
drive.
Finally the present NRA chair
man, Donald R. Richberg, decided
to adopt Johnsonian tactics and
invite everyone in for a straight
from-the shoulder talk.
He gave q fine, forceful and re-
assuring address, but the net result
appeared to be to stir up fresh ap-
prehensions.
Richberg spoke of the folly OF
temporary extension of the NRA
That remark aroused senate critics
of the NRA afresh and brought a
new storm of denunciation and at
tack. Now NRA workers are more
worried than ever about their jobs
Visitors to Washington should
not be mislcd by the hurried erec-
ton of scaffolding and the appar-
rent barricades on Pennsylvania
avenue and in the vicinity of the
White House.
Washington is not going in for
any of the realistic mock war de-
monstrations currently so popular
in the capitals Of Europe, nor is
there any fear of an uprising.
The rapidly rising frameworks
are grandstands being built in an
ticipation Of the convention OF
Shriners here next month.

STORM HITS
FORT WORTH

FORT WORTH, Texas, May 10,
W.R)-Six persons were injured, one
seriously, three blocks of homes
we're demolished, and scores Of
persons were made homeless by
storm that struck Fort Worth to-
day.
One city school building was re-
ported destroyed. but it was said
no one was in the school when the
high wind struck.
The wind followed gentle rain
which began early last night.
Residents of the Riverside resi-
dental area, the section hardest
hit, said the wind struck without
warning, unroofing houses, blowing
down trees and carrying debris for
blocks.
All Of the injured were struck by
falling walls and ceilings as their
homes collapsed.
The roof of one home was car
ried more than a block by the twist
er. Another house was moved 25
feet. So gently did the wind lift
it, that dishes in the kitchen and
flower pots on the front porch were
not broken.

UNCLE WIGGILY TO THE
RESCUE

Jimmie Wibblewobble was getting
very proud of himself. AS we re-
member, the little boy duck wanted
to learn to stay under water a long
time and perhaps swim beneath it
as Toodle and Noodle Flat Tail, the
beaver boys did.
So Jimmie began practicing. Each
day he would hold his head under
the water of the Duck Pond. At
first he couldn u hold it very long
but by keeping at it he got to the
point where he could tip himself
up with his tail in the air, his
webbed feet padding to hold him
self this way and his yellow bill
close to the bottom Of the pond.
Ducks feed this way, pulling up
weeds and grass from the shallow
bottoms of ponds.
Sometimes when Jimmie had his
head under water he was eating the
sweet grass and weeds from the
bottom At other times he was
practicing, holding his breath and
getting ready Tor the time when he
could dive and swim beneath the
surface like the beavers.
"Will you come and watch me,
Uncle Wiggily?" quacked Jimmie
one day to the rabbit gentleman.
Bring your watch and time me
see how long can keep my head

"All right, Jimmie, II do that, .
said Mr.. Longears. "But don u
you think it IS rather silly for a
duck to try TO be like a beayer?"
"Oh, no, thank you," quacked
Jimmie. "I'm sure can do it. -
You see, as I told you, he was rath-
er proud and that isn't a good
thing for ducks. That is, not to be
TOO proud.
So Uncle Wiggily got his watch
and went to the Duck Pond to time

farm in Southern California as a
means of relieving crowded condi-
tions of Folsom and San Quentin
state prisons was recommended in
a subcommittee report filed to-
day with the assembly ways ana
