The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-10-04

shedding the jacket when the weather got hot, kept to the farm costume practically all summer. 7
 The Roberts acres are at Kimberton, Pa., near PhOenix- vile, about 90 miles from Phil- adelphia, where the Justice
 takes particular pride in his herd of full -bIooded cattle.
 Only on rare occasions did he interrupt the calm of this bucolic existence, twice returning to Washington to attend a little Supreme Court" session of his own. Without donning the black robe, and without sharing respon- sibility with his colleagues, he sat as umpire in hearings before the Mixed Claims Commission, set- tling claims between the United States and Germany.
 McReynOlds
 Justice McReynolds, after ling ering for time in Washington, as is his wont, got aboard the liner Queen Mary for a trip to England. He had for companions an old friend and wife--Judge and Mrs. Sterling Price Gilbert (Gilbert was formerly Justice of the Georgia Supreme Court): They spent three weeks motoring through England, then crossed the Channel and spent two weeks in France.
 McReynolds delayed his re-. turn as long as possible, arriv-
 ing on the Manhattan only
 three days before the opening
 of Court.
 The 75-year-old bachelor was in an unusually gay mood when he sailed from New York, told newsmen he never married be- cause no woman would accept him, that his life had been free from trouble, with no wife to bang him over the head, upset his peace of mind.
 CardOZO l
 Of all eight Justices excepting only ex-comrade Van Devanter-- CardozO probably spent the quiet- est summer. He did not go to Eu- rope; he did not motor to Can- ada; he did not go to Mexico. He went to White Plains, N. Y, about 20 miles north of New York City in Westchester County, and there he stayed all summer long.
 The surroundings were such as to make for the greatest possi- ble serenity. Cardozo has no fam fly, lives quite alone, save for the servants who attend him and the friends he summons for occasional visits.
 Cardozo, intently studious,
 read widely-the range extend-
 ing from works of philosophy to
 writs of certiorari, the latter
 being the HOMEWORK" the Justices must do in the sum-
 mer.
 He enjoyed what his secretary described as splendid health" all summer, and returned to Wash ington in a prime state for the rigors of the session. -r Sutherland
 Justice Sutherland made his 27th trip to England, where he was born. He landed first in France, then went to Switzerland, saving his visit to England for the last. From London he went to Scotland, where he did not shoot grouse. but spent most of his time reading and walking, the latter being his only form of exercise.
 Justice Sutherland did not at any time meet Justice Black, who was busy for the most part dodg- ing newspaper reporters. The nearest he got to his friend Jus tice McReynolds was in returning on the same ship McReynolds had crossed on-the Queen Mary Butler
 Justice Butler started his sum- mer by going out to Carleton Col-a lege at Northfield, Minn., to de- liver the commencement address on the 5oth anniversary, of his graduation. T
 Afterward, he settled down at Blue Ridge Summit, Pa, just over the line from Maryland. and only two hours drive from Washington. Here he stayed for the rest of the summer in rented cottage, play ing golf, enjoying his grandchil- dren, and walking through the Pennsylvania hills.
