Listen, World!
By Elsie Robinson

} They call this being conSerVa'
tive, Actually, it is cowardlce.
They cling to accustomed condl-
tions as a child clings to its
mothers hand.
Also. they lack a sense Of pro
portion. Being children, they see
life as a child sees it, with them
selves in the center of every pic
ture.
They cannot realize that human
experience is all Of a piece. The
things that happen to them are
of paramount importance. ,
They magnify their pains and
make a great virtue Of their Sensl-
tiveneSS.
QUITE COMMON
And already the Unmatched Eggs
are trying to evade reality and
escape from life. Some of them
escape in booze-Some in drugs
some in fanaticism-Some in day
dreams-Some in ecentric ideas
which gradually develop into In
sanity.
Insane people are frequently
people who have become so terri
fled or angry at life that they re,
fuse to- grow up, and are taking
refuge in the fantasies of child
hood. Some lunatics, as they sit
brooding, actually take the atti'
tudes of unborn children, knees
hunched under the chin, arms
wrapped around the knees.
Birth, we think, is the common
est experience. We are sure it
must come to everyone. Yet 100
per cent birth is extremely rare.
It is doubtful, in fact, II anyone
is ever entirely born.
We all have baby Streaks. Some,
times we want to have those
streaks-and Stubbornly retain
them.
Sometimes our parents force
them upon us. Many q doting
mother keeps her child HALF
BORN all her life, refusing to
sever the cord that binds its
spirit to her, glorying in its de.
pendence upon her.
ARE YOU BORN YET, IF so,
HOW MUCH?
Answer that question and may,
be you'll be surprised.

Three-Minute Journeys

lteresting to see the encourage Of
native potentate, the aides, the ser.
wants, the hangers-on that always
gather on the fringe of any court.
And so, with its rajahs, its British
officers, residents and the rest Of
the passengers, the train is off on
its nightly run.
STATION INVITING
All night the train pulls its heavy
load and in the morning arrives at
the terminus of the mountain rail-
way which in a series Of spirals,
bends and twists ascendS more
than 1900 feet in so minutes. The
station looks inviting with its
swinging punkah fans and a break
fast all ready.
Then comes the ride on the
mountain railway, a long ascent
through semi tropical vegetation
and then amidst that common to
temperate climeS as the hundreds
of feets seem to drop away beneath
the train with its toynKe cars. AS
the heights are approached the air,
which is already cooler, becomes
sharp, especially to those who are
used to the heat Of the plains.
The journey is amazing as the
train rounds mountain after noun"
tain, skirts the edges of cliffs, one
line of track above another. The
trains climbs the Serpentine twist.
ing road with excitementS and
beauty in every lot of its 50-mile
length and always a breath-taking
panorama of foothill and forest,

the south lost in huze Of heavy

subsidized vessels should reduce
freight rates on industrial and
agricultural commodities so that
those producers would be given
benefits not now possessed.
Under the terms Of the new bill
sponsored by Senator Ernest w.
Gibson (R.) of Vermont, a fund
of $500, 900, 900 for outright sub
sides would be set aside by the
Government so as to encourage
ship construction. Americaniza-
ton of crews would be required
as would strict safety regulations.
The farm bloc contends that
the provisions still do not satisfy
their demands for reduced rates.

Contents Of the pamphlet are
those rapier words which Glass
uttered when Senator Gerald P.
Nye (RO of North Dakota, chair
man of the Senate Munitions
Committee, sought to condemn
Wilson for his work in the war
and attempted to link him with
the house of Morgan.
At that time the fury OF Sen
ator Glass was so great that it
has not been equalled this ses-
sion, and the Senator has not
forgotten but wants his attack on
Nye to be carried to the country
as a protest against the North
Dakotan's reflection on the char.

served as Secretary Of Treasury

In far off India when the heat
becomes unbearable, the Europ-
cans and wealthy Indians leave for
cooler parts. If they are in the
north, they go to a charming hill
station, Mussorie, a resort that is
especially popular with the resi-
dents of Lucknow. The people in
and around Calcutta think in
terms of the foothills of the Hima-
layas, which in themselves are
higher than most mountain
ranges.
And so. the folks Of Calcutta

most interesting trains, the famous
Darjeeling- -Himalayan mail, that
carries passengers to the cool
lakes and highlands of the north.
NIGHTLY EVENT
The train is waiting each night
in the great barrack-like Sealdah
station, the terminus Of the East
ern Bengal railway. It is a long
train of dark red cars, and in the
warm months it always filled to
capacity for its 350-mile run to the
foothills of the mighty HimalayaS.
All types of races ride in its first,
second, intermediate and t h ir d

from mighty maharajahs to ordi-

Contrasting Records

By its passage of the bill designed to promote safety
on Military Road where it passes through the Washing
ton Airport Congress has demonstrated that 1t CAN act
with expedition when it desires
Its record in getting through this bill, hOIOeUer,
is in striking contrast Uith its record in connection
1Uith legislation to settle once and for all the blg
problem of gUing the National Capital an adequate
airport.
Although it was able to get the road bill through in
couple of weeks has had before it for more than ten
years various bills designed to establish safe and
modern airport for the city.
YET, IN THOSE TEN YEARS CONGRESS HAS
MADE NO EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTION TO REM
EDYING THE DISGRACEFUL AND DANGEROUS
LACK OF A PROPER LANDING FIELD.
The road bill does not supply that lack.
It is an expedient to keep the present airport opera
inc in order that the National Capital might not be de-
prved of air mail service and service by the air pas
senger lines.
Even Nth proper safety precautions Installed on
the Military Road the present prIUGteLy-OIOned
mort is not fitting terminal for the Federal city,
In the last session both houses of Congress passed bills
on the airport matter
Those bills are still in conference to dust the differ
ences between them and if they should be finally
enacted they wouldn't establish an airport.
Thew would simply establish another commission.
WE HOPE THAT CONGRESS DID NOT EXPEND
ALL ITS ENERGY IN GETTING THROUGH THE
ROAD BILL AND THAT 1T HAS LITTLE LEFT
WITH WHICH TO TACKLE SERIOUSLY THE STILL
PRESSING PRoBEM OF SETTING UP REAL AIR
TERMINAL HERE.

controversies were localized and
were privately settled. Only on
two occasions in all that period
did the Supreme Court declare
acts Of Congress unconstitutional.
Today, the Department Of JUS
tice, in its vast, beautiful new
building at Pennsylvania Avenue
and Ninth Street, employs more
lawyers than would have been re-
quired to staff all the offices Of
the Republic in its early days. The
department has its prosecutors for
its offensive warfare against
fraud and crime, but month ny
month. year by year, it adds to
its defensive battalions as citizens
everywhere seek injunctionS or
writs, invoking the protection Of
the Constitution against what they
consider governmental invasion Of
their rights.
TWO VIEWS
All governmental activities are
becoming involved in a vast vortex
Of legalism, endlessly complex, fl
nancially burdensome, almos st
metaphysical in its multiplying
subtilitieS and obfuscations-but
nouriShing for lawyers. Vast arse
mails Of precedents pile up on both
sides. The ship of state is heavily
barnacled with incorporeal heri-
ditaments and other such encrusta-
tions which bring a gleam Of de-
light to the eye of a lawyer.
I asked a friend. who is consti-
tutional lawyer, to tell me what it
Is all about and where it is taking
us. He said:
II will try to state two points
Of view. One is that when a
government branches out in con-
Germs additionally, and, in our
country, institutiOnally, left to
private enterprise, it is going
to meet opposition. Citizens will
assert their rights under the law,
and, collectively, they will i'm
pose on their government the
burden Of q growing and COM
| plex system Of defensive legal
ism. The founders were pretty
well settled on the idea that
the best government is that
which governs least
t'The protection Of the indi-
vidual against governmental en-
crOachment was carefully pro-
vided for. Not only State gov
ernmentS but the Federal gov
ernments have been begged in
legaliSm, with windy and waste
full word Journeys, with mount
ing overhead and increasing
taxation for the people, exactly
to the degree that they have de-
parted from the early Ameri-
can philosophy of free, unham-
pered, competitive enterprise.
That's one point Of view,
plausibly and ably asserted by
those who now challenge the
Governments wide Outreach in
wide economic fields. The Op-
posed point Of view is this:
with the rise Of industrial
ism, starting early in the recon
structiOn period and getting into
full swing in the nineties, came
the beginning of monopoly, the
threat of destruction to the
small business man and COM
plexities and uncertainties in
the entire economic structure
which made necessary the as
sertiOn of the popular will
through the Government. Law
yers flOurished to such q degree
that they began running the
show. In the great battles

Hmajority whip, contends that he
has no fear that Father Coughlin,
the man whom he recently as
sailed, will injure his chances Of
reelection.
After Boland took the Detroit
priest to task for his radio crltl-
ciSm of the Administration and
the Congress it was suggested that
Coughlin might be able to influ-
ence the voters in Boland'S coal
mining district so that his cleo
ton chances might be affected.
Boland contends, however" mat
the miners and coal operators OF
his district are not in sympathy
with the inflationary views OF
Coughlin.
He AYERS that after he made
his attack on the priest, he re-
ceived $50 miSSives from his dis
trict as well as many communica-
tions from other sections Of the
country.
OF the $50 communications
from his district, Boland says that
only one took exception to his
stand against. Coughlin.
BORED
Even some of the Democrats
are becoming impatient at the
lethargy of Congress.
The dull session has provoked
a large number of objections,
most Of which are expressed in
the lobbieS and cloakroomS.
Representative Thomas OMal-
ley of Wisconsin, one Of the young
members of the House who has
only been in Congress for two
terms, dislikeS the irkSome days
of doing nothing.
So he expresses himself in point
ed terms to the Majority Leader
william B. Bankhead.
Mr.. O'Malley demanded to know
if there was a way in which men,
bers could have q calendar Wed.
nesday to pass small bills.
Mr.. Bankhead said:
81 think there is, but I regard
it now as very important that we
get through with consideration
of these appropriation bills"
| O'Malley demanded:
"HOw soon does the gentleman
think we can get calendar
Wednesday,"
Bankhead said he didn't know.
O'Malley asserted:
1--WE have been eight weeks
here, and have drawn our breath
and our salaries and have passed
five bills"

Ship Subsidy
Despite the fact that the new
Gibson ship subsidy bill is
designed to provide for a swift
new merchant fleet and elimi-
mates many of the arguments
used against the Copeland and
Guffey bills, it fails to please one
of the strongest groups OF op-
ponentS.
The farm bloc which has
fought other subsidy programs
is reported as ready to campaign
against any measure which does
not assure farmers Of lowered
freight rates.
The bloc has contended that

PLAN TO RAISE TAXI
0NGASOL|NE IS HIT
Association of Oldest In
habitants Condemns Pro-
posed Action.

The Association Of Oldest Inhabi-
tants last night opposed any increase
in the gasoline tax in the District OF
Columbia. A resolution to this effect
was adopted following receipt of q
communication from the American Au-
tomobile Association protesting against
such a proposed additional tax.
John Clagett Proctor, vice president
Of the association, who presided, re-
ported receipt Of information that the
proposed increase in tax was much
greater than needed for upkeep of the
streets. He criticized the plan as laying
q special tax on motorists for other
general uses In no way connected with
street paving used by automobiles.
Warning that the high tax and price
OF gasoline in Europe had been one of
the contributing factors toward fewer
automobiles and more bicycles abroad,
Proctor declared there is such a thing
as killing the goose that laid the golden
egg"
Tour Of Forts Described.
An entertaining description of re-
cent tour to the old forts around Wash
ington was given by James F. Duhamel,
corresponding secretary Of the associa-
ton. He recalled that as boy he had
been taken by his father, an Army
surgeon, to visit these forts, especially
Forts Reno, Bunker Hill and Fort
Stevens, now being turned into parks.
At Fort Totten Park, he said, there
had been deposited sections of the old
gate posts from the west front of the
Capitol as relics of the old days when
Congress had the Capitol grounds sur
rounded by fence to protect it from
possible mob violence.
PerSimmons now are ripe, he said
on some trees in Fort De Russy, in
deep woods on the west bank of Rock
Greek Park.
Park Service Praised.
The only remaining magazine" in
the old forts, Duhamel explained, is
now at Stanton Park in Southeast
washington. He related the history of
the old forts and told how they were
constructed for the defense of the
Capital. The work of the National
Park Service of the Government for
preserving the forts as parks was
praised by Duhamel.
On motion of Frank w. Dowling

sent a message of congratulations and
flowers to Mr.. and Mrs. Johan Kond-
rup on the occasion of their golden
wedding, to be celebrated this week.

Publication of the Pr was sus-

Watson's report revealed the cali
Der of Hearst scruples in breaking
strikes. Guards, thus called by rep
resentatives of the Pr, but known
to the labor movement as gunner,
were employed to protect the prop
erty," he reported.
"One man among these guards
was convicted of murder and was
out on bail at the time. These guards
were escorted through picket lines
by policemen"
Watson further reported that the
Hearst management was adamant in
its opposition to the guild and that
further negotiations by him with
representatives of the Pr would be
useless.
'The whole labor movement in
the northwest is very much dis
turbed and wrought up over accu-
sations that have been made by the
Pr and its supporters, concerning
us in general and the u%nwarranted
attacks and untrue statements made
against Dave Beck, one of our very
