THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

The beauty Of Spring is an ever-fresh
story.
1t needs no poet to embellish Il; it
tells It's own tale better than human
agency can.
AL that is necessary is the seeing eye.
All that is essential Is to be an in
telligent layman.
Scientists have two classifications for
the remainder of humanity:
!. Laymen.
2. Intelligent 1aymen.
And what a world Of difference there
is between the two!

It Is tn. latter, rather than the former.
| who sees Spring in all its beauty, either
with or without benefit OF poetry.
The plain prose of the season Is
| beauty itself.
While science, as such, has no monop-
| oily on appreciation of the season, still
some approaches to it must be main
tanned, else one cannot see it Alright.
That is where being an intelligent
| layman comes in. The ordinary lay"
man, as regards scientific approaches,
has no interest whatever in them.
| II he catches you reading a book on
vitamins, he will say instantly, and sin
cerely enough. What do you want to
read that for?"
And he means it.
| He does not want to read such a
book, therefore he wonders honestly how
any ope else can.
And that, of course, is where the in
| telligent layman enters.
He wants to know.
| He possesses the curious mind. which
believes that what other men have
learned. through long years, he may
grasp to some extent. at least.
He realizes that without the years OF
study and of experiment he cannot
acquire one-tenth, or even one-hun-
dredth, perhaps, Of the lore In this
book.
Such requirements as he can pick
up, however, are well worth while.
| His cherished belief is that there is
no book in the world from which he
cannot secure one or more bits OF wis
dom. (That is why he is never dis
appointed in any book, why any one can
have the same feeling Of security0

something which has puzzled him for
several years.
How did the older spelling of vita
mine" with the "e" on the end. get
changed to "vitamin," and why?
The book informs him that DR.. Funk
coined the name vitamine, in the early
days of the study. on the belief that
these accessories in diet were amineS, a
| form of chemical compound.
1t was neat coming. but its exact
phrasing was based upon a misconcep-
ton, for they are not amines, but some
thing else.
Hence scientists, by universal agree
ment. shortened the word to "vitamin, "
which it is today, and will probably
stay.
| The scientific approach to the things
OF Nature, even on the part of the in
telligent layman, contains no sneer or
contempt whatever for the plain lay
| man.
He has his right to his way of look
ing at the world.
| If he wants to turn certain studies
over to other men, and regard them
then as water-tight compartments, into
which it is worse than loss for him to
! peer. that is his business.

On or about July /. according to pres
ent plans, the State Department will try
an interesting experiment by opening q
branch office of the passport division in
Rockefeller Center, New York CITY, Mrs.
Ruth B. Shipley, chief of the division,
recently informed subcommittee of the
House Appropriations Committee that
the center has equipped "a very beautiful
office" for the purpose and has offered it
for period of 20 years at 81 a year, with
provision for such additional space as
may be required during that time on the
same terms, including the department S
right to leave without notice at any time.
Mrs. Shipley thinks New Workers and
others will find a midtown passport
agency of vastly greater convenience
than the present Office In the sub
Treasury Building downtown. The State
Departments passport division, over
which Mrs. Shipley has presided since
1928. is one of Uncle Sans real money.
making establishments. Its receipts,
which were 81 ,072,6 in 1885, 60 more
than half way toward supporting the
entire State Department.
While the American Telephone &
Telegraph Co. is undergoing investiga-
ton before the Federal Communications
Commission, its business continues sub
stantially on the upgrade. There was a
net increase of 77,50p telephones in
March, compared with $4,000 in the
same month last year. IFor the first 1886
quarter the net gain was POI 300, largest
for any three months since 1929, and
compared to 10000 ins the same period
of 1885. The country's reyived penchant
for telephone conversation is regarded a
barometrical indicationao of the rising tide
of recovery.

If, as some authorities think, the House
investigation has already ruined all
prospects of enactment of the Townsend

fishing a speed record for results from

disadvantageously located for climate as
to prompt marveIment that they can
support a population of seventy million
souls. For explanation of the mystery
1t is necessary to be intimately acquainted
with the mind of the nation-to grasp
the truth that everything matters in
the Japanese economy Of life. The
cherry blossoms are the supreme example
of the flora of the country; they are the
best, the most precious. the most abun-
dainty loved of Japanese flowers.
For untold centuries, the blossoms
have stimulated the spirit of the masses,
their rulers, their poets and their
painters alike. They spell history and
art; they are religion, hope and aspira-
ton. Every great genius Japan has
brought forth pays tribute to them. For
Sotatsu, Miyagawa Chosun, the Shijo
or Fourth Avenue" School, Hozen,
Hokusai, Hiroshige and a thousand
others they have been as bread to the
body, as breath to the lungs, as blood
to the heart. The Genji Monogatari,
"the most famous, the longest and per-
haps the most wearisome of Japanese
romances," written about thousand
years ago, is cherry flower epic.
No parallel is available to cite, but If
Americans were to cut piece from the
Declaration of Independence and send
it to Japan the gesture would have
something of the same character as that
of the presentation of the trees. Surely,
it must be the wish of multitudes that
good neighborliness" forever may pre-
vail between the two countries.

Habit.
"Never again" were the words we said
When the New Year sun shone overhead.
Only a quarter of year,
And the same old foibles again appear.
We remark, for reasons we can't explain,
ALAS, Old World, we're at it again!"
"Never again" would we theorize
And seek in politics to seem wise.
"Never again" would we take chance
On the mystical methods Of high finance.
We now admit with sense of pain,
ALAS, Old World, we're at it again"
'Never again" we so often say,
But the way we start is the way we stay.
We follow the fashions, as they change,
In speech or raiment, polite or strange.
We're a bit surprised, but we can't COM

Peace, Be Still!
There's an intercourse of silence
Between those
Who can simply stap1 and watch
The opening rose;
Catching rhythm as the tall trees
Leaf in Spring;
Drawn together by the quiet
Shadows bring.
Who in unison keep silent
Need no speech
For they know the heights celestial
Angels reach.

H. J. ALLEN HITS
WASTE IN RELIEF
Attacks New Deal Spending,
Praises landon Before
Larqe Crowd.

An overflow crowd in the small ball
room of the Willard Hotel last night
heard Henry j. Allen, former Kansas
Governor and United States Senator,
attack New Deal expenditures and
Relief Administration and praise Gov.
Landon as a man pledged to economy
in government.
Allen, publisher of the Topeka State
journal. was principal speaker at a
rally of the Landon and Knox Cam
paign Club of the District. His lis
teners filled every chair in the meet
ing room, sat in window seats and
stood six deep in the doorway to ap-
plaud his sallies against the Demo-
cratic administration and his predic-
tions Of Republican victory in No.
vember.
After mocking New Deal assurances
Of taxations breathing spells as in
sulting the intelligence of the elec-
torate. Allen launched into SPECIFIC
attack on the handling Of unemploy-
ment relief.
Nobody resents relief" he said.
THE resentment is due to the waste
OF the millions that have gone into
the political administration of relief
Hits Waste in Relief.
The speaker accused the Roosevelt
administrat ton of encouraging un-
employment" and creating "a per-
manent list Of permanent unem-
ployed." He said the bulk of relief
expenditures was going to supervisors,
co-ordinators and directors instead of
finding its way to persons that really
need it," Only 40 cents of every relief
dollar gets down to the man that
needs it," Allen declared.
He charged that the principal bene-
ficiaries of relief money were "a set of
political grafters"
