Most Effective Senator

Wheeler led of for the opposition

most effective, If not the ablest man

Bailey, Copeland, Glass, Byrd, King
and Connally-always have been
known as conservatives.
Wheeler, on the other hand, has
led some of the hottest battles for
New Deal legislation, He was in
an excellent position to point
scornfully to a lot Of "New Deal
liberals who have left or are going
to leave to take fat jobs nj Wall
Street." And Wheeler was emo
ti0nally effective when he said he
had suffered for his liberalism and
wanted to have the court preserv-
ed as bulwark against laws aris-
ing from hysteria.

is one of his pet dislikes, and he

the fight from the thought that
Cummings might be one of Roose-

The Perfect 's36'' Is Out for '38;

These are the specifications Of
James Dowd, Jr., director OF Mod

fessional fashion and beauty work.
She Should Be Tall
Furthermore, says MIR. Dowd, Miss
1888 should be at least five feet,
seven inches tall-in her stocking
feet. Five feet, nine would be even
better.
Dowd. aided by his wife, who is
the schools fashion counsel, picks
potential beauties not only by height
land figure. Character, personality
and facial structure enter.
The best faces, say the Dowds,
have high cheek bones, eyes fairly
far apart, noses short and fairly

High cheekbones often are ac-
oompanied by large jaws, but those
may be disguised by careful roug-

To keep rice flaky during cook
ing do not stir or cook it in guam
titles of boiling water. After it has
been boiled the rice should be
drained, rinsed in hot water and
dried off, for five minutes in a
moderate oven 1t may then be
served as a vegetable, a dessert or
combined with other foods.
Store carving knives carefully.
otherwise they are likely to be
dulled in rubbing together. The
ideal carving knife for hot meat
should have a stiff thin blade about
nine inches long. A more flexible
blade may be used for cutting cold
meats.
Add shelled roasted peanuts to
cooked, hashed, seasoned squash.
One third of a cup of peanuts will
be enough for each three cups of
squash.
Spread grated cheese over apples
to be used in pie. Members of the
family who insist on cheese with
their apple pie will be delighted.
Always use a dry cloth in han
ding hot glass cooking utensils. If
damp cloth is used, the glass is
likely to crack. When a glass dish
boils dry allow it to cool before
soaking it and then use warm-not
hot-water and a cleansing pow

Normally there is definite relation
between human service and length of
days. It is natural that it should be SO.
because maturity of experience is needed
in the generality of men for the per-
formance of great labors useful to their
brothers. Yet the verdict OF history on
occasion contradicts the rule.
It is difficult to write with a calm
hand about the tragedy which mas
robbed Washington of boy who was
dear to all who knew him and was ad-
mired and respected by strangers who
never had been privileged to come
within the circle of his acquaintance.
The whole community, it SEEMS, was
aware of the courage and the beauty of
his life. During the period of his
struggle back to health from the ordeal
of infantile paralysis, he was watched
from distance by many young people
who were similarly handicapped. Prob
ably without ever for a moment being
conscious of it, he set them an example.
His bravery, his unfailing good humor,
the inborn gentleness of his spirit were
apparent to everybody.
Also his genius was self-evident Per-
haps by heredity he was possessed Of
talents uncommonly keen and of aSpira-
ton richly ardent. He could win prizes,

The Race Track Bill.

BY a narrow margin of two absentee
votes the House District Committee has
again reported the race track bill, legal
izing race-track gambling and permitting
the construction of race track in the
District. The bill is thus placed on the
House calendar and may be voted on
next Monday, District day. 1t should
be defeated.
Those commercially interested in this
proposal to revive legalized gambling in
the District have been campaigning in
Congress for several years to OBTAIN en-
actment of the necessary legislation.
Stiff local opposition, based primarily on
objections to the return of the evils and
abuses commonly associated with legal
ICED gambling, has in the past prevented
the bills passage. That opposition is
just as strong now as it ever was, al
though the lack of hearings on the
present measure this year-hearings
having been held last Spring-has pre-
vented its present expression. But it is
not reasonable to believe that Congress,
which passed a death sentence on the
old Benning track twenty mine years
ago because of the scandalous conditions
Evening star., 1937-02-05

resulting from the gambling racket then.
Is going to invite the return of such
conditions by enactment of this bill.
It is interesting to recall that the
gambling racket and other evils asso-
ciated with the old Ivy City track over
forty years ago brought about its death
through anti-gambling legislation The
Benning track was opened and the
Washington Jockey Club reorganized as
a reform movement" But in little
over a decade there had been created an
Benning track and the gambling that
made it notorious. Strong elements of
the city campaigned against .the track
for years and Congress. which included
many of the strongest critics, finally
closed it by legislation outlawing gam
bling. Objections to the track were
stimulated by the disclosure of evils asso-
ciated with or directly flowing from its
operations, one of which was the diver
sion of large sums of money from legiti-
mate trade.
About the only arguments in favor OF
the bill advanced by its proponents have
been that the track may stimulate local
employment and add to the city's rev.
enues. But the benefits to community
such as Washington from legalized race
track gambling are outweighed by in
herent disadvantages which have re-
ceived scant attention in reporting this
bill.
The bill should be defeated and, it is
to be hoped it will be defeated If it
comes to a vote on Monday.

each separate victory bore the aspect of

not pause to look back. The laurels he
wanted were those still to be gained.
What the future held for him his friends
merely can guess. A motor accident has
denied him the ultimate fulfillment of
the hopes he entertained.
But there is an answer to the mystery
of such loss. Unless humanity is will

cosmos as a cruel joke, it mus5 believe
in a Power which would not tolerate
the useless waste of soul which had
earned the right to survive. In that

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Loafing is not the easy Job that some
people seem to think.
Once they are forced to try 1t, such as
during convalescence, they speedily find
it really a task.
The less they have "loafed" in their
life the more arduous they discover it
to be.
Shortly they come to have a real ad-
miration for natural born loafers,"
whom probably before they secretly
scorned.
They find out that there are degrees
in loafing or seemingly doing nothing,
and that in the higher reaches OF the
art one really is doing great deal.
Overcoming
He who overcometh-"
Such is the essence Of the artistic
loafing which alone is worthy OF the
name.
1t was such loafing that Whitman
did when he leaned at his case. watching
a blade of Summer grass.
He brought long poem out OF It. but
most persons will not be able to show
anything so tangible.
And that will mean that they must
overcome more, not only the reproaches
Of their DID, busy selves. but also the
covert glances of all persons, and there
are many who still do not understand.
There Is more to overcome for person
naturally busy. He or she will not find
loafing. or doing nothing. as easy as
another who, through bringing up, or
circumstances. is what might be called
a natural born loafer.
Hence a great deal more effort must
be put forth to overcome the desire to
do a great deal. This overcoming Is, in
its very essence, real doing, and Tor
such a person often a great activity.
This is the light in which they should
regard their enforced quietude. whether
it comes about as the result Of illness,
age, or other reason.
1t is not for them, above all, just a
doing nothing, but really great doing
something, their minds and dispositions
being what they are.
1t is said that the worst patients are
people who have never been i'll. That is,
the semi-ill person has been able to
build up a real technique OF illness. He
is never really healthy. so finds COM
promise must be made. Often mere
lack of pain is to him great health. Real
robust health is something he never
knows. Any mitigation of illness is to
him glowing health.
Similarly, the naturally active person,
forced to quiet must build up resistance
OF another sort. in which his Creates
antagonist will be his old self
He will find that he needs training
at his new task.
1t is not the sort Of thing he can Jump
into to find himself a master al the
sport.
Masters seldom are made that way.
Even he who has the "knack" finds it
incumbent on himself to practice the
technique time after time.
Practice makes perfect. indeed.
To do nothing we'll one must practice
it and learn how.
Nor can every one be master loafer,
even with great trying.
The lofty height is attained only for
the geniuses of the race.
The rest Of us only can reach lower
levels, and find them hard enough of
attainment.

Safeguards Suggested for
Maintenance of Ideals
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
When entered this country as an alien

realized what this country means to
other foreigners like myself. began my
life here with the idea of success on the
right side of the law. pledged my allie
glance to "Old Glory" in Albany, N. Y,

with fine people, in which found oppor-
tunity to learn to read and write
We all know of the many cases OF
murder, grand larceny, kidnapping and
delinquentS Of all kinds. I have given
much thought to the curbing of these
menacing occupations of the undesirable
people of this country. If these follow
ing acts were performed by all the people
OF the United States protective forces
such as the G-men would be greatly
aided in capturing criminals:
Every person should secure identified
ton credentials issued by the municipal
authorities. These credentials will con-
tain photograph, description, record of
former residence and court record of
any criminal offenSes the person has
committed If he or she has committed
any. A list of all societies will also be
recorded on it: that is, all commercial
unions, political organizations and social
clubs.
ANY traveller upon entering new Sec
ton. town or city should Immediately
have his credentials okd by the au-
thorities to enable him to remain in the
place without an molestation, for he
will be called upon to present his Gre
dentials in good order on many occa-
sionS. For example: Hotels, rooming
houses and places for tourist accommo-
dationS are the most likely ones to want
proof of the persons veracity.
Persons failing to obey the laws in
conjunction with establishing their
veracity should be punished to the full
extent of the law. This should be
stressed to enable the system to become
adequate.
Perhaps this subject will some day be
considered. If 1 should ever be called
upon for aid, will gladly give it for my
adopted country. JOHN CARBONI.
