Came Frank McNey. Came
hordes who knew him either by
face or by name-and came the
dawn of a new policy. Frank, who
is in no uncertain manner reSpon-
sible for the popularity enjoyed by
one of mid-city Washington's most
popular spots, is known perhaps
better than any other member OF
his fraternity in this city. He is,
as they say in Police Court, not
without friends. At his new hang
out these nights he is with them.
Aiding and abetting this con-
Spiracy to corner the goodfellow
market is Louis Clerico, remem-
bered by Maryland Club Gardens
patrons, and T. j. Leonard, form
erly of the Carlton Hotel. The
latter supervises the mixers.
Gaping it all is Raymond and
his Hawaiian Serenaders, form
erly of the far.famed Stork Club in
New York city.
The crowds who flock to Grit
fifth Farms these evenings are there
for so many individual reasons,
then, that it is no wonder closing
time creeps up on them apace.

Gen. johnson Says

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Optimism oozed every
w where on my recent trip If the depression Is
not definitely the run, it is at least looking
nervously around for the nearest exit
But employment is little better. Suffering is
lieved, and of the improvement in buying Is
created by the spending of large of taxpayers
money. Another part of increased business came
from AAA benefits"
We built good temporary trestle under
busted business, but we have done little to replace
the false work by stone foundation.
Is there anything definite in the SUBSISTENCE of
economics? Under set Of urgings told
that the secret of taagle is to get prices down.
We are acting on that theory by our State Depart
ments conscientious sapping of the tariff and by
many other attempted devices.
At the very moment listen to another
group which says sole salvation is to get prices
up. We acted on that theory by AAA benefits and
restrictions and by all the iflationary policies from
silver purchase to unorthodox Federal financing.
1t is fantastical. The truth is that although we
have no fixed policy, not inactive We try
everything and cancel each principal effort by
other in the opposite direction.
Why wouldn't it be good thing to have non-
political field day theores-a great national
test o. Brain Trusts in goldfish bowl? Let all
these rival policies noby to the grapple before
the public eyes, and if can't get at least one
common denomination of thought and action.

days of King Henry VIII. It makes
certain that there shall be no
interval, or interregnum, between
two monarchs.
The line of succession to the
throne at present is as follows:
l. Prince of Wales, who is Al.
2. The Duke of York, the Sec
ond son, who is 40.
3. Princess Eliza be n, older
daughter of the duke, who is ga.
4. Princess Margaret Rose, who
is 51a.
5. The Duke of Gloucester, the
third son, who is "a.
6. The Duke of Kent, the fourth
son, who is 33.
Z. The dukes son, Prince Ed
ward, who is months old.
8. Princess Mary, the kings only
daughter. Following her come her
children, Viscount Lascelles, nearly
Is, and the Hon. Gerald Lascelles,
liz.
If the Prince of Wales 1narries
and has children, they will take
precedence over the Duke Of York,
the sons first, then daughters.
Most people believe the prince
will not marry, and the Duke of
York's younger daughter is 51a.
Hence many believe there is more
than even chance that Princess
Elizabeth will be queen some day.
If the duke had a son, however,
he would take precedence over the
daughters, ever though they would
be older.

EASTERN A|R[|NES
City May Consider Plea at
Renewal Time,

After testifying that Eastern Air
lines loses more than $4,000 every
month, company officials hoped to-
day that the Works Board eventual
ly would reduce the 500 monthly
rental charge for operating facilities
at the Municipal Airport.
The board refused the company's
petition for a reduction yesterday,
but said that wnen new contracts
were drawn with all companies, this
organization would get considera-
ton.
It was explained that, at present,
the city has contracts with other
airlines which specify that all or
CARNATIONS shall pay uniform
rental charge. George E. Gardner,
Eastern Airlines divisional Superin-
tendent, explained the request by
saying his company landed only two
planes here daily.

Mr.. Kipling was born in
Bombay, on Dec. 80, 1866.
His father was an artist,
the director of the Lahore
museum. His crusading
zeal, if not his wartime in
stincts, he may have de-
rived from his grand
fathers, who on both sides
were Methodist preachers.
After attending military school
in England, young Kipling re-
turned to India, where the Duke
of Connaught gave him the free
dom of the Northwest district,
allowing him to mix with the SOL
diers and study the native hill
people.
TT was here he learned to know
Il and portray the character and
actions of the British Tommy as
none had before or since. For

had published when he was 81,
Mr.. Kipling received an initial
payment of 500 rupees (about
$185).

least one book year. The
Jungle Books" were written for
his son John, who was later killed
in the trenches.
u IPLING was admittedly SUI
IN preme as the great national
patriotic writer during the war.
He did much propaganda work,
and wrote several books on mod
ern warfare.
Considerable American hostility
against Mr.. Kipling was aroused
shortly after the war. He was
reported by the old New York
World to have declared that the
United States had entered the war
too late, and had forced the al
lies to agree to peace before the
Germans were properly punished.
While he never directly denied
the charge, Mr.. Kipling declared
he had not known he was talk
ing for publication.
Monetary considerations GER
tainly did not influence his work,
although his books, were nearly
all money makers. He once re-
fused to write an article for
which he was offered $125 a word.

Always trenchant writer, Kip
ling had no mercy for national
weaknesses and despite the
furcre for his Absent Minded
Beggar'' poem at the outbreak of
the South African War, he actu-
ally made himself most unpopu-
lar among sporting Britishers by
his allegedly sneering references
to the national games of cricket
and football in a powerful poem
urging national effort to end the
war.
His scathing references to "f1an-
neled fools at the wicket" and
''muddled OATS at the goal" were,
he explained, in no sense deroga-
tory to the national sports, but
merely poetic license in the effort
to emphasize the necessity of a
nation shelving all forms of
amusement in order to end a war
quickly and successfully.
