TIME snow was beautiful but

L lonely, Nancy Atwell thought
as she stood at the window watch

slant she regretted refusing the ur-
gent invitations of her two brothers
and two sisters to spend the holt
days with them. Each of them
had been insistent, but were all SO
far away il was out Of the ques-
ton, financially. and she didn't
want them to furnish the money
and then for years she had spent
Christmas here in the Connecticut
hills with grandmother and she
couldn't imagine 1t seeming like
Christmas any place else.
Peggy North, her old and dear
friend, had written that she could
not get away for the holidays, SO
hoped that Nancy could be with
her.
Nancy had done little toward any
sort of festivities and had left put
ting up the decorations until the
last minute. In fact she hadn't
bought anything new-the old ones
would do well enough. Perhaps
she might just as well go up to the
attic now and see what there Was.
1t might seem more like Christmas
with some decorations around.

gentleman's gentleman. Maybe it
will be the straw to break the
camel's back.
Anyway, this is how it works
out:
v. A. L. Mallet, counsellor of
the British Embassy, went to the
Smithsonian Institution to pre-
sent bust of Lord Kelvin on be-
half of the English Speaking
Union Of the British Empire. He
had his speech all written out.
When he arose to deliver it he
found that beside the visible audi.
ence he faced a microphone. 1t
disturbed him, but with true Brit
ish fortitude he went right ahead,
only he made very few extempora-
neous remarks. At the conclusion
of the ceremonies he rode down
in an elevator with a group of
friends and said:

idea this address of mine was to
be broadcast. 1 stuck very close
to my written statement when I
saw that.

A National Purpose

The possibility of establishing terminus for trans
atlantic drigbles at Hybla Valley in nearby Virginia
should certainly be explored by the District Airport
Commission.
The site has been studied and approved by DR.. Hugo
Eckener the famous pilot, and Senator William H. King
of Utah has asked Maj. Gen. Oscar Westover to look
into the matter of combining the projected municipal
airport with the dirigble base.
Creation of dirigible base Washington is per
fectly logical development particularly in view of the
fact that the meteorological conditions at Hyba Valley
are said to be nearly ideal.
HOWEVER, THE SUGGESTION OF COMBINING
THE BASE WITH THE AIRPORT PROJECT SHOULD
EMPHASIZE TO MEMBERS OF THE AIRPORT COM
MISSION THAT THE PORT WHICH THEY ARE TO
RECOMMEND FOR DEVELOPMENT rs MORE THAN
SIMPLY A MUNICIPAL AIRPORT.
It will of course handle the growing air traffic Of the
CITY, but it will be used extensively for other purposes
and would in the event of war, become important
mart of the air defense of the National Capital
With those possibilities in view and with the possib
ties emphasized by consideration Of the drgbe base
the commission should give due consideration to the mat
ter of having the Federal Government aid materially in
the financing Of the port.
Senator King in announcing that the commission
would consider the Hybla Valley project is quoted
saving that he does not feel the commission should be
"niggardly.'
In that the Senator is quite correct
FOR THE COMMISSION OR FOR CONGRESS TO
GO CHEAP ON THE AIRPORT MATTER WOULD
PROBABLY MEAN THAT WITHIN FEW YEARS
THE NEW AIRPORT WOULD BE OUTGRoWN.
That is real danger and one which the commission
foresees and can prevent.
ON THE OTHER HAND AN AIRPORT FOR TRULY
NATIONAL PURPosEs-AND THAT IS THE KIND
THAT IS NEEDED-CANNOT BE FINANCED BY
THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ALONE.

particularly, IS rising again to its
pre- prohibition levels. Ordinary
piracy and freebooting had died
down during John Barleycorn'S
temporary absence. Once again,
it's a business taxing the police as
never before. as the pirates get
faster boats, better communica-
lions and better shore organiza-
tions.
In the days of Captain Kidd,
the dividing line between plain
piracy and resistance to oppres-
sive laws was sometimes hard to
trace. Captain Kidd, at the start
Of his freebooting career, had
some quite respectable affiliations.
A number of New York Water
Street merchants were allied with
him.
In those days England was fos.
tering crime by stupid laws, Just
as in a later century we made
bootlegging inevitable by a law
mot grounded in reason and JUS
tice," in BlackStone's phrase.
STUPID RESTRICTIONS
Cloth made in Holland had to be
sent to England, to be reshipped
to the colonies, with a tax for
England and a profit for the Eng
fish middleman. Virginia tobacco
had to be sent to a French snuff
maker and the snuff went to Eng
land and thence to the colonies.
MolasSeS from the French West
Indies, eagerly desired by the col.
MES for rum-making, had to reach
us in the same roundabout way.
We were forbidden to make hats,
caps or iron goods.
All raw materials had to be sent
to England for fabrication there.
There was still another oppreS-
s1ve measure which heightened
the tension between the colonies
and England and fastened the
revolution. The proclamation of
1853 forbade the colonistS to set
tie in the territory in Canada and
the Mississippi Valley after they
had fought valiantly to wrest it
from the French.
All these leg irons on a spirited
people prepared them for resist
ance. Molasses, tea and cloth
bootleggers swarmed along the
coast, far beyond the ability of
British ships to police them.
Some of the great names and
some of the great fortunes of
early America bark to those days
of socially, if not legally, sanctioned
smuggling.
But, commendable as any brave
resistance to British tyranny may
have been, it shaded off into
piracy, just as bootlegging-which
many millions Of law-abiding
Americans sanctioned by drinking
bootleg uQuor-shaded off into

nationality on the rest
Of the world.
But, clear up to the middle of
the last century, there were
mysterious "higher.ups" always
being uncovered in deals which
otherwise looked like overt Grim
inal piracy. And then, as now,
there was traceable through many
Intermediates a pattern Of law
evasion, leading from a mahogany
desk to a black cove on a dark
night.
One of my friends, a former
professor of history in a New Eng
land college, has deduced from
this background a theory that
Americas world leadership in law
breaking is due to the fact that
it had to get its start by law
breaking.
"If we yielded quietly to Eng.
lands restraints on shipping
and trade" he said, I'VE never
would have had either the
economic resources or the spirit
to put up the fight that set us
free. We had q better right to
the empire at our door than
anybody else. We had to be
tOugh-fibred citizens to take it,
and we were.
LAWS IGNORED
"But the trouble was that
this necessity. and our success
in doing the job, conditioned US
to direct attention and action.
In 1906, there was passed by
the Federal Government q rigid
law against the importation Of
any more slaves into America,
but it scarcely was even heard
Of, let alone Obeyed.
I'VE did not abolish the New
England blue Laws. We Just ig.
nOred them. There are still laws
against witchcraft on the statute
books of New England States.
We were q lusty and vigorous
people, cOnquering a wilderness,
and expediency was often our
guide, rather than the strict
letter of the law"
Personally this depar TIM e n I
thinks there was a lot more in
our beginnings than law-breaking
Our success in law-making, as
well. stacks up as rather impress
Sive achievement in the worlds his
tory of Self-government. AS I see
it, there has always been this
borderland between law obServ,
ance and crime.
In the long run, law has won,
as in the above instance Of the har-
Dor pirates, where they have be.
come a problem Of police effici.
ency rather than q concern Of
commerce and statecraft.
But j. Edgar Hoover and his
Omen find in this No Mans Land
of semi-reSpectability their most
difficult terrain.
We could cite at least one still
continuing American fortune
founded in piracy-large-scale pi-
racy, however, rather than petty
thuggery of the current river rats.

turtles, the crime virus is not al

left behind because they can't get
back on the train quick enough.
You see, a Presidential train is
the tops in railroad tranSporta-
ton. 1t gets the right of way. It
travels as swiftly as safety will
permit. When it gets ready to go
it just goes off, zippo, and it's too
bad If anyone misses.
There isn't any schedule at
these little stops, and every effort
Is made to keep the strictest
guard over the President.
In this instance, the train is the
biggest in history. Even larger
than the Harding encourage. 1t
is estimated that more than 80
people are on the train, includ-
ing officials, newspaper men,
clerks, Stenographers and guests.
The train was so long that the
Secret Service decided that in
order to reach the acme of per-
lection in protection on these
stops only a few doors on the train
would be opcned to let the CORE
SpondentS off or on. Obviously, Is
men couldn't make lastminute
daShes to two or three doors and
get on safely.
AS a result, an amplifier system
was added to the other improve
ments. Now, when President
Roosevelt makes a speech, the
boys can sit in one of the coaches
and catch the whole thing with
out any danger Of getting left
behind.
EVERYTHING THERE
The train is also equipped with
radio, telegraph, a club car, COM
plete accommodations for every
one, and it looks more like NOV
ing city than a White House Spe-
cial.
Besides the Secret Service men
the railroads have set UP a guard
system that is practically unbeat
able.
Whenever the train stops over
night, the whole area around the
oacheS is surrounded. The
switches are given two guards
each. They must sit on the
switches until the time approaches
for the train to pass and then
they stand aside to see that no
one gets close enough to tamper
with them.
