There is a golfer here now who re-

Non.Competitive Tests Give
Solidity to Spoils System

To the Editor Of The Star:
We hear that officials are seriously
considering ending the partisan system
and of placing all emergency agencies
under civil service. However these off,
cials have not the slightest idea of having
the employees in question take civil serv-
ice examinations to have them justly
earn their civil service status, but merely
by the magic stroke of presidential
order intend to have them blanketed in.
A presidential order that would bring
about such action would indeed be the
grossest discrimination to a personnel
whose, in the majority of cases, highest
"qualification" Is political influence.
The officials indication that it would
be difficult to conduct examinations for
the great number of employees is indeed
q very weak excuse. The truth is that
they don't want to face the music,
namely, Of the unmistakable way that
civil service examinations would show
up the favorite political sons and
daughters.
Any fair-minded individual will con-
cede that ron-competitive examina-
ton is an ample advantage to grant to
the army of emergency workers in face
of the fact that the majority of employees
under civil service had to take COM
petitive civil service examinations.

National Murals No Place
For Intimates of Artists
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
George Biddle, New York artist Is
working on murals in the new Depart.
ment of Justice Building, in Washing
ton, D. C. He depicts "The Sweatshop
and Tenement of Yesterday Can Be the
Life Ordered With Justice of Tomorrow. ="
1t is my belief that the public officials
show q lack of historical values when
they allow artists of any kind, employed
to do public monumental work, to pic
ture their friends at the expense OF
precious space and public money.
OF what factual value national or his
torical, will 1t be to any American to
look at Mrs. George Biddle and her in
FAINT, or David and Sally Elwyn? You
know the Elwyns are neighbors at
Croton on the Hudson.
The Nation as whole would be pretty
disgusted if the head of Gutzon Borg
lum's brother would emerge from the
stone of Mount Rushmore, S. OAK, in
stead of Jefferson's.
This and the mural in the new De-
partment of Justice Building are both
lasting monuments to our national
heritage, and whatever the subject might
be for national monuments. public OFF,
cials should not allow artists to use
public space for their own intimate in
terests instead of nationally historical
interests.
Surely America hasn't that lack Of
philosophers, statesmen, labor and social
workers, famed in their own right, that
it allows artists to fill the walls of their
public buildings with pictures OF their
friends. JOSEPH A. MCGUIRE.

Any airport measure will be killed the

to decide the matter of locating the Ma

The new airport commission should

Otherwise Congress will still be arguing

gets out of bounds it constitutes the
type of insanity known as paranoia-
probably the most dangerous and hope
less of all.
Now if one could get at the cause of
the common up-and-down feeling it
would perhaps be fair to assume, as a
working hypothesis, that an exaggera-
ton of that cause was responsible for
the exaggeration of the reaction pattern
shown in the manic-depressive psychosis.
The same would hold true of the other
reaction patterns and the specific forms
of insanity which appear to rise from
them.
Also the reverse would be true. The
cause resulting in the extremely exag-
gerated behavior should be easier to de-
termine than the cause of the reaction
pattern kept within socially acceptable
bounds. And hence it would be possible
to arrive at, the reasons for different
personalities.
DR.. Freeman performed autopsies over
period of 10 years on patients dying
at st. Elizabeth's who could be classified
clearly as belonging to one type or an
other. In each case the thyroid, para
thyroid, pineal, adrenal, thymus and
pituitary glands were weighed with
great care. The assumption-which
admittedly may not be entirely valid
was that the larger the organ the more
of its substance would be poured into
the blood stream and hence the greater
would be its characteristic effect.
AS result, DR.. Freeman concluded
that the relation between glandular size
and characteristic reaction pattern was
very slight, indeed, if not non-existent.
Not that the glands have no effect on
personality.
Certain of the hormones. such as
thyroxin and some of the pituitary secre-
tions, supply the energy drive for the
expression of the dominant trends of the
personality.
For example, the cycloid with de-
flcient pituitary secretion might be less
manifestly a cycloid because he would
have less energy for any sort of reac-
ton. His behavior, nevertheless, would
be cycloid and not schizoid. The funda-
mental pattern would not be changed
only the energy of its expression.
Moreover, excess or deficiency In GER
tain glandular secretions tends to make
one more irritable and less able to con-
troll the emotions. Such, for example,
is the effect of too much thyroxin, too
much insulin, or too little of the secre-
ton of the parathyroids. But the
irritability follows the lines of the fun
damental personality pattern. The ex-
cess or deficiency does not result in q
pattern of behavior.
Leading to DR.. Freemans conclusion:
Gas far as determining whether an indi-
vidual shall be proud, sensitive, para
mold or timid, shut-in, dreamy schi-
zoid: q boisterous, jolly, il-fellow-well-
met cycloid or moody, pedantic, ego
centric epileptic-the endocrine glands
would seem to have little to say in the
matter"

The Airport COMPROMISE


Until the actual legislation is drawn
it is impossible to know whether the
agreement reported between House and
Senate conferees on a new airport bill
will escape pitfalls responsible for past
failures.
In principle the agreement seems
sound. A representative commission will
be appointed to select a site, to spend
money in engaging expert advice and
taking out options on land. There will
be no packed" commission, chosen to
select definite site. There will be no
effective prohibitions against the selec-
tion Of certain sites.
But unless the commission is provided
with authority and money to buy site
and lay down rules for its development
without having to obtain congressional
approval Of its every step, then the
appointment of another airport commits
sion is merely the appointment of an
other airport commission.
The joint commission plan was tried
in 1888 and it failed. Former Senator
.Bingham's joint commission went over
the ground thoroughly, reported legisla-
ton to carry out its recommendations.
These were for eventual acquisition and
development Of the Gravelly Point site
and temporary development OF Wash
ington Airport. Thrown into the con-

Enticing Rail Travel.

Some time ago Joseph b. Eastman,
Federal co-ordinator of transportation,
suggested that IF the carriers can design
a still more attractive service. offer it
at still cheaper price, and promote its
sale by modern methods, they should
arouse a new carrier travel market in
volume greater than formerly handled by
them without seriously affecting the
volume Of automobile travel"
The need for some such revival of the
recognized for many years. The slump
in that market really began after the
Interstate Commerce Commission boosted
passenger fares in 1920, just about the
time that business was sliding into the
slump following wartime prosperity. In
1880 the average per capita expenditure
for rail transportation was s2.S2. BY
1920 1t had risen to $l234. BY 1888 it had
sunk again to $2.62, twenty cents under
the expenditures of more than half a
century ago. Contributing heavily to
this slump, of course, was the enormous
development in automobile transporta-
ton in the twenties, made possible by
better automobiles and better roads.
Riding habits, in other words, had
changed.
Yesterdays flve-to-four decision by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
reducing rail and Pullman fares to the
approximate 1920 level represents final
determination, after a lot Of hesitant
shivering on the bank, to take the plunge
and definitely to explore the potential
tiles of a new rail transportation market
by reducing rates and improving service.
The most significant part Of the expert
ment is that it is favored by the carriers
that have already tried it and like it.
Southern and Western roads have in
augurated lower rates than those Or
dered by the I. c. C. Principal and
practically sole opposition to the reduc-
ton comes from the New York Central,
PENNSYLVANIA and the New York, New
Haven and Hartford lines.
It stands to reason that the I. c. C.
and the majority of the carriers are
moving in the right direction. Railroad
travel still offers many advantages over
automobile travel between points hum
dred miles or more apart. People are
anxious to ride on trains when they
can afford it. The new rates will bring
rail transportation within the reach OF
a great many people who either stay at
home now or travel by bus or private car.
Everywhere in the business world to-
day the advantages of offering lower
prices with better service and thus. in
creasing volume are becoming apparent.
There is demonstrable evidence that
railroads are no exception. The COM
mission is to be commended on de-
cision that will be approved generally
as wise.

Were giants in their day.

That sunshine turned to gold.
And since the wind and weather

And had storm on board.
For speed she was thriller,

Desired to grab the tiller
Meath skies serene and blue.
There's naught that e'er could tip er
Save such contention great.

And who shall be the mate?
