been many instances when he
seemed gifted with a sort Of clair
voyance in penetrating the deep
obscurities that have befogged
European postwar politics. Cap
tain Eden is tall, slender and
handsome. His hair is dark and
trim, and so is his close clipped
military mustache. He has ready
smile, likes to shake hands, talks
quietly in a modulated voice, looks
like a matinee idol and is happily
married. He has the right to a
title, but prefers to be addressed
as Mister"
He hates violence Of any kind.
The story is told Of him that, on
one occasion, during a deer hunt
in Sweden he had an easy shot at
a big buck. But he lowered the
gun with these words: Hes too
beautiful to shoot" and let the
deer bound onward into the for
est.
Perhaps the incest thing that
was ever said about Captain Eden
was said by Harold Lasky in the
Daily Herald of London:
"He is kindly and well mean.

ALL CLASSES OF MEN
Mr.. Warren cites many other
instances where the Justices Of
the Supreme Court unhesitating.
ly decided against the source Of
their appointment. One of the
most outstanding of these in.
stances occurred under the Ad-
ministration of President Lincoln.
The Supreme Court in 1855
consisted OF nine members, five
of whom had been appointed by
Mr.. Lincoln. His action in estab-
fishing military tribunals in
places where the Civil Courts
were still open was held by the
Court to be illegal.
The opinion against President
Lincoln was delivered by his per.
sonal friend and one Of his own
appointees, Justice David Davis,
who said in part:
"The Constitution Of the
United States is q law for
rulers and people, equally in
war and in peace, and covers
with the shield of its protec-

Do You Favor Traffic
Police in Plain Clothes?

Numerous schemes and programs have been used in the
past in an effort cut down the terrficay high traffic
accident rate in Washington.
Some of them have had some slight effect while others
have appeared to be useless.
WE KILLED MORE THAN HUNDRED PERSONS
ON THE CITYS STREETS LAST YEAR AND IN THE
FEW DAYS OF THIS YEAR WE HAVE BEEN KILL
ING AT THE RATE OF ONE PERSON EVERY TWO
DAYS
What can be done to cut dOUn or eliminate this
sacrifice to cGreLessness and stupidity?
A short time ago Mr. Lawrence G. Crawford, citizen
long interested in traffic conditions submitted proposal
that FORCE OF TRAFFIC POLICEMEN DRESSED
IN PLAIN CLOTHES AND WITH VEHICLES WITH
OUT POLICE IDENTIFICATION MARKS BE ESTAB-
LISHED.
The idea was that such force would detect
violations of the traffic laws which cannot be detected
by policemen in uniforms using the regular vehicles of
the police department
The project was advanced by Mr.. Crawford sort
of test of whether not Westinghouse really wanted
impartial and thorough enforcement Of the traffic laws

kidding themselves IOhen they talk about traffic
LaIU enforcement; that they IOGnt the LGLUs en-

It has been suggested by Mr. Crawford that The

CAPT. ANTHONY EDEN

No career in the annals of Euro
pean politics and diplomacy can
quite match the amazing leap to
world fame Of Robert Anthony
Eden, Great Britain's new Foreign
Minister. A few months ago his
status in the British scheme Of
things was little more than that
Of liaison officer between No. 10
Downing Street and the hall Of
the League Of Nations in Geneva,
Switzerland.
It was generally understood that
he had a future-that he had
been tagged by destiny for higher
things. But it was assumed that
this interesting young mamie is
only 38 now-would drift along in
the tranquil, leisurely British fash
ion and arrive some day at a full
cabinet post-perhaps in his late
40S or early sos. But Fate is a
whimsical old girl and does queer
things with peoples lives.
Little Pierre Laval, Premier Of
France, surcharged with the de-
viouS diplomacy breeding from his
Latin blood, and playing his dou-
BILE game with Mussolini and the
League Of Nations, bemused the
scholarly and elderly Sir Samuel
Hoare, then at the head Of the
British Foreign Office, into a cyni-
cal arrangement by which half OF
Ethiopia was to be surrendered to
Italy for the sake Of preserving
peace and keeping England's and
Frances possessions intact.
The storm Of public resentment
which followed this amazing ar
rangement projected young Eden
into titanic stature. All at once
he became to the British public
the symbol of sincerity and good
faith. Stanley Baldwin and the
British Cabinet, doing something
that a government has not done
in many years, making complete
apology to the nation for the
Laval-Hoare deal, were forced to
evict the luckless Sir Samuel and
to put young Eden in his place.
GRAVE PROBLEMS
And there he stands today,
faced by graver problems than
have confronted any British For
eign Secretary since Sir Edward
Grey was forced to take the mo-
mentous step Of declaring war
against Germany.
Captain Eden has many diStmc-
lions Of intellect and personality.
He is one Of the beSt-dressed men
in the world. He is famous for his
wit and his quicknesS Of mind
His personality is so attractive
that wherever he has gone he has
established the most amiable rela'
lions with the heads OF other gov
ernments, except in one instance.
Mussolini instinctively disliked
him, and he inStinctively disl1ked
Mussolini.
That single fact, so human in
its implications, may yet play a
startling part in world history IN
the next few years. OF aristocratic
antecedents, with an Elton and OK
| ford training, the young Foreign
Minister is a perfect sample OF
the old.time public servant trained
from childhood for possible leader
ship. Like the Cecils, the Sails
burys and the Balfours, the Edens
are one of those families whose
mission it seems is to produce
statesmen for their country.
He is the son Of William Eden,
seventh baronet Of West Auck'
land, and the descendant Of Lord
Baltimore, who founded Maryland.
He went into the war at the age

considered one of the Senate'S
greatest authorities on conStitu-

was consid ering the McNary-
Haugen farm legislation.
Walsh, who voted against the
proposition, said:

delivered by Associate Justice
Owen j. Roberts when the AAA
was held unconstitutional.

DIR. FRANK III. VIZETELLY
One of Americas most useful
citizens and finest gentlemen
rounds the corner of 70, going
strong. He is the policeman Of our
language-the Oman Of word
usage-Dr. Frank H. Vizetelly,
dictionary maker and the destiny
appointed successor Of DR.. Sam
johnson and Noah Webster.
When it comes to manhandling
English, they all look alike to DR..
Frank-whether they are cap
tains Of industry, obscure edi-
torial writer's or headliners in the
literary section of who's Who. l"
Even the great Kipling who, by
the way, has also passed three
score and ten, has not escaped
his cenSure, for the language and
its correct usage is far more i'm
portant to Vizetelly than any indi-
vidual, however eminent or gar
landed by time and tradition.
APPROVES SLANG
Split infinitives don't annoy
him at all, nor do propositions at
the end of a sentence.
Some Of our best infinitive
splitterS were Shakespeare, De
foe, DR.. Sam johnson, Lord By.
ron, Coleridge and Browning.
It is also perfectly proper, in
our living language, to say, Its

words, don't be finicky.
Frank Vizetelly has edited more
dictionaries and encyclopedias
than any man living. He has
probably the greatest vocabulary
at his tongues end Of any man
living.
He is one of the great scholars
of the age, but it was by no
chance that he reached that shin
ing eminence!
Fate started him strangely
enough. The man who was des-
tined to a bookish career began by
looking at the world through tiny
holes cut in the middle of black
leather goggles. His eyes were
practically no good at all. But the
surgeons fixed him up after a
while.
English born, he came here in
1891. In the AZ years that have
passed, he became a word master
of America, doctor Of literature.
and doctor of laws.
He will tell you that one person
in a hundred speaks English cor.
rectly.
He believes that our American
language is the most beautiful
language extant.
He finds adventure, beauty and
fascination in the study Of words
