ROOM & BOARD
DOWNTOWN:
There is a certain satisfaction
in living within the heart of
town for many reasons, chief
among them being you have no
transportation worries and when
it is possible to secure room and
meals in an apartment situated
in one of the Swankiest build
ings in the city, then you have
accomplished something. This
apartment consists of seven
rooms and three baths and the
present occupant is going to
rent several of the rooms. These
rooms are well furnished and
comfortable, each one having
lots of windows and plenty of
ventilation. Imagine the com.
fort derived from sleeping later
in the mornings and Strolling
leisurely down to work. Doesn't
that sound appealing? If you
are interested in a place of this
type, come in and let me tell you
more about it.
DUPONT CIRCLE AREA:
Dupont Circle section is and
has always been one of the most
sought after and exclusive sec.
tionS to reside in. AS the fam
lily operating this house is
French, it would be especially
appealing to someone who is de-
Sirous of carrying on converse
ton in that language. The
meals are we'll balanced and
especially appetizing and the
rooms are delightful. Rates are
$3.50 apiece for two in a room.

PLANNING

Make no mistake, please, this magazine believes
intellectually in planning, whether for agricul-
ture, business or anything else.
What we say and insist on, is that the success
or failure of the plans will depend wholly on who
the planners are and whether or not they are ex-
perienced, level-headed and know what's what.
Theoretically, you could get such planning from
bureaus in Washington, from the Brain Trust or
Junior Brain Trust from the Groups of expert
ntelligences," or any other planning source that
sounds well in print.
In practice, you would get no such thing Wash
ington bureaus, being human, think they are doing
a great job of planning, if not perfect job. You
yourself in Washington being human, would think
the same thing.
But three thousand years of history have shown
that human community gets along best when the
citizens left to plan their own affairs their own
way, and on the spot. They make plenty of mis-
takes, to be sure but never as many as serious or
as exasperating as the plans that are Matched in
political bureau thousand miles away.
Three thousand years of history, during which
every possible system has been tried again and
again, show that the average standard of living is
highest, the average life more abundant, the aver
age citizen happiest, when his government does not
mix into his economic affairs with well-meant bung
ling.
Call this lassez-fare if you like. 1t is the sys-
tenn that has made the United States, in spite of
our recent difficulties, the marvel of the world.
Yes, we are for planning, but only when the
planning is by the smartest planners, not the
dumbest. By experienced people, not by theorists
by the man on the spot, whose own money is at
stake. Three thousand years of history show that
he does it best.-Farm Journal

has not virtues, then the next

THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
, BY RODNEY BUTCHER.

THERE are those who accuse
/ L the general of fuzzy-minded-
ness and this impression was not
tentirely removed. He explained
that when he had said "NRA is
as dead as the Godo," he had
meant the NRA administration,
But at the time he made the re-
mark, the chairman of the NRA
board was S. Clay Williams,
whom Johnson describes as "the
best man who ever came to
NRA.""
He admitted that during his
work an the statement with MIRA
officials he had found the NRA
| board had done a much better job
than he supposed. But he still
cannot imagine successful MIRA
operated by a board.
HIS ideal OF an NRA is one with
Johnson again in one-man COM
mand - and Donald Richberp

economists of the Brookings In

same day to release their report
which found NRA retarded re.

But he won't anraunce for the

RELIEF FOR CONGRESSMAN

Several bills are pending in congress to remove
the post office department from the field of party
politics and give all jobs in the organization, from
that of postmaster general en- down to the posi-
mastership in the smallest crossroads hamlet to the
men best qualified to fill them rather than to party
hacks.
When you consider the matter, you wonder that
congressman don't pass one or another of these
bills in sheer self-defense.
Representative Ramspeck, of Georgia, author of
one of the bills, says that naming postmasters
makes a congressman more enemies than friends.
He appoints one man and wins his friendship; he
turns down adozen or more and wins their enmity.
If the post Office department were made politics
proof, the congressman would be relieved of much
grief. From the purely selfish standpoint you'd
think congress would support the reform whole

drain-pipe. ~
Everybody, including the general
himself, was surprised and disap-
pointed at that.
But the explanation is simple:
Even at the end of their investiga.
ton, senators were too ignorant or
too poorly grounded as to the MIRA
and its operation to give the gen.
eral battle.
Earlier in the hearings some of
NRA's enemies on the committee
had launched attacks which clearly
demonstrated their ignorance and
the MIRA boys had brought in facts

ASSUMED VIRTUES

battle. But that the way to over
come that fear was to pretend not
to be afraid-and in the course of
time the assumed courage would
become real courage. That was
the statement of an old fighter.
President Theodore Roosevelt
was commonly accepted as man
of great physical courage. Yet
Colonel Roosevelt admitted that
by nature he was timid and that
he developed courage by assum-
ing courage.
He admitted another thing, too
that he was naturally frail, and
that his splendid physique also
was an acquisition. After he had
assumed the roles of physical
courage and physical strength
long enough, physical courage
and physical strength became his
in actuality.
Of course no one admires a
person who pretends a virtue just
to fool somebody = just to slip
something over. But there is
every reason in the world to ap-
plaud one who assumes a quality
of character because he or she ad-
mires that quality, and would
make it part of his or her char
acter equipment.
We should derive much encour-
agement from the knowledge that
an assumed quality becomes our
own after we have assumed it
long enough-just as when man
claims and occupies a piece of
land, it becomes his after he has
claimed and occupied it long
enough.

One of the places that time
seems to have passed by, despite
pretentious schemes of moderniza-
ton, is French Morocco, or at
least many parts of that land Of
rugged mountains and rocky
plains. Once considered remote,
now thanks to cruise ships and
swift connections at regular ports
of call, it is becoming increasingly
popular with many travellers.
Casablanca is rather a diSap-
pointing prelude to Morocco, if
one enters by that port. Sidewalks
cafes, clubs and res aurants,
where one may dine as if in the
best places in Paris, do not com
pensate for the complete elimlna-

Under plans worked out at the conference committees
will soon be functioning throughout the nation
rious phases of accident prevention
The committee will cover vast field, ranging from
aviation accidents to those which are pagulng the life
of the farmer in his field.
WISELY THE CONFERENCE DECIDED TO USE
ITS EFFORTS GENERALLY ON BEHALF OF ACC1-
DENT PREVENTION, RATHER THAN CoNCEN-
TRATING ON ANY PARTICULAR PHASE.
In general have been inclined to stress the auto
mobile accident in most campaigns for public safety
While the automobile accident situation is bad and
deserves all the attention it be given it should be
borne in mind that almost the number of persons
are killed as result of mshaps in homes are killed
bv automobiles on streets and highways.
The automobile toll is about $4,000 nationally while
about $4,000 are killed annually in their homes.
Most city people think that the farmer leads rela-
lively safe life
But the conference developed the fact that farming
highly hazardous occupation and special committee
has been appointed to study safety the farm.
About the only conclusion that be drawn from the
deliberation of the conference is that YOU AREN'T

While "the household of the ma.
ton" cheerfully adjourns politics
to receive anew the glad tidings
which Christmas always brings,
the Great American family will
not forget how much they have to
be thankful for, despite the hard
ships which are the bitter fruit of
the depression.
There are wars and rumors Of
wars in Europe, Asia and Africa.
But the United States is still at
peace with all the world.
There is internal strife in many
countries but the American people,
under the American system of gov
eminent are still able to settle
their political differences and right
their wrongs without resort to civil
war.
Millions of Americans have yet
to find employment but the Ma
ton has not lost courage and the
hope that courage quickens.
Freedom of speech, freedom of
the press, and freedom of worship
remain the proud possessions of
the American people under the
government Of which the ConSti-
tuition is the cornerstone.

AN ALGER STORY

Leslie M. Biffle, secretary of the
majority of the Senate, returned
from the Orient the other day
with the congressional delegation
which had been in the Philip
pines. Japan and China.
With him he brought this story
Biffle, it seems, was in China
when he met on the street one
William Hunt.
Hunt had formerly been en-
ployed as an elevator operator in
the Senate Office Building, and
as such was forced to move his
elevator whenever summoned by
some one of So tempermental
Senators.
While employed, however, Hunt
had attended foreign service
school and later entering the con
sular service, was dispatched tt
China.
There he retired from the Gov
eminent service, entered the eX'
port and shipping trade, and in a
few short years made fortune.
Consequently, he was well able
to entertain the entire delegation
at a sumptuous banquet. So it
was that Senators who once were
piloted from floor to floor of the
Senate Office Building by an in
conspicuous elevator operator, be
came his delighted guests at one
of the best banquets of the entire
trip to the Orient.
