well did Edward Higgins discharge the duties of this high office that 1t seemed quite natural to all when he was chosen by General Bram- well Booth to be the chief of stah of the International organization.
 When General Bramwell' Booths health failed, the high council of the Salvation Army honored Edward Higgins by elevating him to the su- preme command of the organization.
 Named At Crisis
 He came to the generalship at a time of crisis, with 8 worldwide organization looking to him for di- rection. He successfully negotiated the introduction of needed reforms, which called for the exercise of great patience and much tact, as well as unbounding enterprise and resourcefulness, and under his able guidance the Salvation Army en- larged its operations throughout the world.
 General Higgins retired from ac- tive service as head of the Inter- national Salvation Army in 1884 upon the advice of his medical ad- visors, and Eyangeline Booth was elected as his successor.
 In recognition of his services to humanity the Government of Eng land decorated General Higgins with the Cross of the British Empire.
 Throughout his long and honor able career General Higgins has been ably supported by Mrs. Hig- gins. She has accompanied him on many of his international tours, and while at the International Center has engaged actively tours, and while at the International Center has engaged actively in the over- sight of the Army's work among women. She organized the War Graves Visitation department and was the head of the Home league. Wise and practical ill home and office, Mrs. Higgins has earned the love anw respect of all who have come in contact with her.
 Four of the children of General and Mrs. Higgins are officers in the Salvation Army.

General Higgins To
 Visit Nutmeg State
Retired Head of Salvation Army in Connecticut This
 Week for Special Engagements, Radio Broadcast

General Edward J. Higgins, C. E.. E. retired head of the Salvation Army, who directed this Interna- tional organization from 1929 to 1884, will be visiting Connecticut this week.
 General Higgins is striking, col- orful, personality. He has travelled to every corner of the globe and has mingled with all classes of people, from kings and potentates to the lowest classes of humanity. He has passed through the portals of palaces and through the doors of mud huts. But no matter to whom he has talked or where he went ever uppermoSt in his mind was the purpose for which he dedicated his life-the betterment of mankind.
 Completing his education at Chel- tenham College. England, he entered his fathers business in Reading and in 1882, coming under the influence of the founder of The Salvation Army, he with his father, decided to give up their prosperous business and entered the ranks of the organ ization.
 Served In Britain
 As a young officer, Edward John Higgins served in Great Britain. Following this came terms served at. the International headquarters and on the staff of the Information al Training college.
 In 1896 he was promoted to the rank of colonel and was appointed as chief secretary for the United States of America, and during the nine years Edward Higgins proved himself to be as much the man for the. hour. as the man for the post.
 Returning to the International Center, this time in the capacity of assistant foreign secretary, he un- dertook greater responsibilities and travelled extensively, accompanying William Booth on several overseas campaigns.
 The combined experience and re- responsibilities of these various posi- tions served to equip him to take over the leadership of one of the artnys most important commands and he was appointed totake charge of the British territory. Strenuous indeed is the toll associated with the British commissionership, but so

THE MAGIC CASTLE
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

There is a magic castle on the Sun s whose shining window panes reflect the day; 1 On cloud and earth their dazzling streamers run Like fragile wonder-stars across Mars way. From this great castle in the laughing sky Steps forth in majesty lovely queen: Artemis, sovereign about to fly
 To where the Gods have placed their silver stream The nightingales release their natal song As the twilight comes with softened glow; The magic castle fades amid the throng, And crimson sunset flames where oceans flow O sing a hymn unto the Sun Gods throne whose winged towers call her children home!

BEHIND THE SCENES
 WASHINGTON
Wire Pulling Behind The Scenes of The Supreme Court Fight Keeps Each Side Busy.
1Y ROONEY DUTcHER-
Democrat Washington Correspondent

Washington, April l2-The way this supreme court battle is being fought out, especially with respect to propaganda, bears many resem- blances to the election campaign of last summer and fall.
 The administration political ma chine and the democratic publicity machine under Charlie Nicholson, are functioning for the president much as they did. then. The nation al committee staff has been skele- tonized and operates, of course, on a much smaller scale.
 The publicity machine, with
 Nicholson at it's head and Eddie
 Roddan and Farmer Murphy at
 his side, publicizes the cause un-
 der the name of Public InfOr-
 matiOH; Committee" The person.
 mel and the Farley organization
 work in cooperation with the lO-
 cal and county democratic 0rgani-
 zations, the Young Democrats and
 similar groups. Instead of the
 scores of political pamphlets pro-
 duced last fall they have thus
 far issued two. The first was
 series of questions and answers
 Ol; the court issue. The second,
 entitled "WhO said THAT about
 the supreme court?" is a conn.,
 piIatiOn of past criticisms of the
 court by big men from whom you
 might least expect it.
 The man who ran the democratic radio division in the campaign is still on the job and the Good Neighbor League, under Stanley High, which did good work for Roosevelt among peace, church and Negro groups last fall, is at least partly on the job.
 Also, that valuable campaign aux Hilary, Labor's Non-PartiSan League, sends to its key members every two or three days new issue of the Supreme Court Calendar" which analyses court opinions affecting la bor, takes shots at opponents of the Roosevelt plan, and supplies mater ial for labor speakers. Recently the league sent to each of 32,000 work CTS, who were active in the cam- paign, a handbook for speakers and writers on the court plan.
 Republicans Keep Mum
 Officially, the republicans are keeping out of the fight. No propa- ganda issues from their national headquarters here, and their 19 senators and 89 congressman, all solidly against the Roosevelt plan, have kept mum on the theory it would be mistake to enable the president to present the case as 8 partisan issue.
 Actually, anyone with political
 sense must know that Chairman
 John D. M. Hamilton and his few but capable aides have been busy behind the scenes recently. One republican local organization mailed circulars urging citizens to write to the following mem then named 29 undecided" demo- cratic senators and George Norris.
