The Borrower.

The Borrower.
Don't borrow trouble" some one said
To Hezekiah Bings;
Remain serene and go ahead
With more important things,
Such as your comfort and your health,
And do not interfere.
Be careful to preserve your wealth
OF personal good cheer"
But Hezekiah always found
Temptations to invest
In troubles that came driftin' round
An causin' folks unrest.
Although he couldn't hope 70 end
Life's doubling and distress,
He'd borrow trouble from q friend
An make the burden less.
He listened to the sorrowing tale
OF many mournful elf.
He'd borrow trouble by the bale,
An handle 1t himself.
Sometimes he'd even put up cash
A most unusual plan!
In financierin' Hez was rash,
But gosh! He was A Man.

Psychology of Panic

No man knows what he may do or fail
to DO in moment of panic. Sudden
fear creates nervous reaction which
never yet has been accurately appraised
or analyzed. The passengers who yes
terday demolished Georgia avenue
street car in a rush for safety did not
pause to rationalize about their danger
when fire broke out at the control box.
1t is ridiculous to accuse them Of
cowardice. Given time to think, it is
probable that every individual concerned
would have demonstrated a normal
capacity to be brave as the proverbial
lion in the face Of peril.
There Is nothing new about such an
incident. On the contrary, the instinct

ILLOGICAL Determinations.

1t Is difficult to rationalize the eX
emption Of Federal employees from State
income taxes and the reciprocal eXemp-
ton from Federal income taxes enjoyed
by State and municipal employees. But
such exemptions have been sustained and
sions. The theory originated in the
sound contention that the Government
which possessed the power to tax the
means and instrumentalities" of another
also possessed the power to destroy the
other. But the present application of
the theory seems pretty far fetched.
The exemptions, however, exist and as
long as they exist an interesting question
is raised as to the power of Congress,
functioning as local legislature for the
District Of Columbia, to impose on its
from which they are exempt in the
States. The question will doubtless be
threshed out at length and is perhaps
more interesting from the standpoint of
equity than from purely legalistic con-
siderations.
Such tax here would produce end
less and sometimes grotesque inequities
and determinations. Two Federal en-
ployes, say, live in Kensington, Md. One
works for the Social Security Board in
Washington, while the other works for
the same agency in Baltimore. The
salary Of the one who works for the board
here would be taxed, while the salary
of the one who works in Baltimore would
be exempt. The thousands of Federal
employees In New York City would be
exempt, but their fellows in Washington
would be taxed. And while the bill
neatly eXempts the members of Congress
from the tax, on the theory that they
are not residents of the District, and
although they are exempt from local
income taxes in the States, it entirely
overlooks the comparable status of other
strictly nonresident Federal employees.
Every additional exemption merely COM
plicates the picture and piles up more
inequitable and illogical determinations
If the attempt were made to lessen
one inequitable discrimination by ex-
empting all Federal employees, another
more marked discrimination would be
substituted as between the Federal and
non-Federal workers in Washington. And
with Federal employees exempt, the tax
would fail to produce the necessary
revenue.
The condition Is indicative OF a situa-
ton peculiar to Washington, because
Washington is the Capital City, and it
emphasizes the error of assuming that
all forms of taxation applied in the States
are for that reason equally applicable
here. II the income tax is to be adopted
here, In spite of the apparent difficulties
In its equitable administration, some of
the illogical determinations of the pres
ent bill should be removed.

will constitute Uncle Sans chief watch
in mid-Pacific.
With the rapidly growing Importance
of aircraft for national defense, 1t
gratifles the country to know that the
Navy is keeping fully abreast of modern
demands in that type of armament.
Two new 2O,0OO-ton aircraft carriers,
with capacity OF 100 planes apiece, evi-
dence the United States intention not to
lag behind in connection with the rapidly
developing air weapon. Great Britain
has Just launched her SIS 900, 900 aircraft
carrier, Ark Royal of $4,000 tons, de-
scribed as the most up-to-date warship
of its type in the world. John Bulls
rearmament program provides for four
sister ships of the Ark Royal. Though
they will exceed the American carriers
in tonnage, ours are designed to accom-
modate more planes. The British lay
increasing stress on high-powered avia-
tion as naval auxiliary.
According to the 1887 edition of the
Aircraft Year Book, just off the press,
the United States has dropped from
fifth to sixth place among the seven
major nations in number of combat
airplanes available for an emergency.
Only Japan, with 1000, is ranked behind
us. Our reported total of 1900 service
able planes compares to 1000 for Great
Britain, $500 for France, 3,40O for Russia,
5000 for Italy and 5000 for Germany.
The American people should not rest
Indefinitely content with a position of
marked inferiority in the air.

A Great Flying Feat.

Because Of popular preoccupation with
the Supreme Court controversy, labor
unrest and correlated issues, scant at
tention was paid to this weeks feat of
twelve fighting airplanes of the Navy
In completing nonstop mass flight of
2,553 miles over an allwater route from
San Diego to Honolulu in flying time of
twenty-one hours and twenty-five
minutes A total aviation personnel of
seventy-eight men was carried. The
significant aspect of the flight is the
fact that the Navy Department has
come to look upon such achievements,
which not so long ago would have been
considered sensational, as purely routine
service affairs. Nothing more is now
adays announced about them than a
brief report of squadrons safe arrival
at destination.
1t appears that these trips, known as
sroute transfers" have become the usual
method of delivery of flying boats from
the mainland for permanent station at
Pearl Harbor. The dozen ships that made
the recent cruise were preceded by an
equal number in January similarly fer
ried across the vast stretch from the
West Coast to the Hawaiian base. The
Navy has successfully carried out three
such mass flights, the first having been
made last year, the method of self
delivery" being regarded today as the
entirely normal one. The planes which
reached Honolulu on Tuesday are part

There were, perhaps, fewer cardinals
in the vicinity Of Washington the past
Winter than the previous one
1t may have been that milder Winter
lured them to stay farther North. But
certainly the writer here had far fewer
at his feeding stations, although there
were two pairs which remained all sea-
son and are still around.
While we never expect to see a jump
ing mouse jump, we have had the felicity
OF examining live praying mantises at
close range.
Several years ago two dozen Of their
curious nests hung from shrubbery by
the sun porch.
An unusual mild spell in the middle Of
that Winter led the entire colony of
young to their doom, for they Matched
out, found nothing to eat, and shortly
were killed by severe cold and snow.
Since then there has been none seen
around the garden, whereas before that
disaster at least two or three large ones
were seen every Summer
