Pointed Questions as to
The Age of Seventy Years

To the Editor of The Star:
Will some one tell me why members
of the Supreme Court are supposed to
lose their efficiency at seventy years Of
age, while men in other walks OF life
go on unquestioned? Senators and Rep
resentatives are elected by their con-
stituents and sent to Washington again
and again after they have reached that
much-discussed age. OF course. the
majority of them do not represent the
people; they represent the President.
But there are others, educators like
Nicholas Murray Butler, editors of great
metropolitan newspapers like the New
York Times, whose editor in chief stopped
work at the age of eighty-one; great in
ventors such as Edison. great executives
like Henry Ford, great f1nanciers like
Andrew Mellon. You may say: eyes,
but they are exceptional men," and I
will reply: well, these judges must be
exceptional lawyers or they would not
have attained their present position"
Let us be careful. It looks as If those
nine men of the Supreme Court are
about all that stand between us and
chaos.
When those in favor of the Presidents
plan refer to the action Of Lincoln and
of Grant, do they do so because they
approve what those men did, or do they
mention the circumstances to justify
their own doubtful procedure? When
we select precedent for an act, let us
make sure that the former case was
worthy of our honest approval.

Is His Face Red?

In the name of the first robin, the
flowers that bloom in the Spring, the
clear blue sky and the warmth of the
friendly sun that shines on this March
4, Senator Norris of Nebraska should
be asked today whether or not his face
Is red with shame.
Look at today's weather. all you who
were drenched to the skin and chilled to
the bone on January 20, and ask your
selves whether Senator Norris was a
friend of mankind when he fought and
bled to have his lame-duck amendment
ratified and thereby Scrapped all the fine
old traditions associated with March 4
as Inauguration day!
Mother Nature has a sometimes cruel
sense Of humor. Perverse vixen that she
is, she sends this day to mock us-and
Senator Norris-with all her charms.
But we know her well enough to realize
that were Inauguration day changed
again to March 4, four years hence
January 20 would dawn clear and clean
and beautiful and on March the howl
ing, icy winds would blow another Taft
blizzard into Washington She is that
kind of person.

No More DELAY.

A letter to Senator King Of the Senate
District Committee asks that citizens
of the District be given an "opportu-
nifty to be heard" on the juvenile court
bill which passed the House recently.
It is not in the nature of Senator King
or Senator Copeland, chairman of the
subcommittee in charge of the bill,
to deny such request without reason.
Both are anxious to receive the benefit
of local views on local legislation.
On the other hand, there is available
to Senator King stenographic tram
script of the extensive hearings on the
juvenile court legislation held by the
House District Committee last year.
There is available to them the report
of the House committee, outlining the
purpose of the measure and the nature
of the forces which have sought its
passage. If new hearings are considered
necessary, let them be expedited in order
to save the legislation from the long
delays which it has encountered in
the past
The few opponents Of the measure
deserve to be heard, of course. But the
proponents Of the measure, including
many distinguished citizens conversant
with juvenile court problems and the
social conceptions embodied In this
and similar legislation In most Of the

edied only by complete ending OF the
rivalries existing among important per-
sonnel.
This has been accomplished without
reflection on the professional competence
of any individual. Fred D. Fagg, jr., who
takes over the dictatorship of the bureau,
brings to his new duties the reputation
of an excellent administrator, thoroughly
familiar with the nature of the laws and
regulations pertaining to air commerce
which the bureau will enforce. Ralph
w. Schroeder, jr., the new assistant di-
rector, enjoys the confidence and respect
of the air industry, with which he has
been long associated In private and
public capacity. Neither man boasts of
any political backing. Their training
has been in the science, rather than in
the politics, of air commerce and they
will make an effective team. The
changes should work to the advantage
of air commerce regulation.

Beneficial Shake.Up.

Beginning with the tragic death of
Senator Cutting of New Mexico, almost
every major air disaster has brought
criticism in some form against the Bu-
reau of Air Commerce. Deserved or
undeserved, direct or indirect, the criti-
cism has tended nevertheless to weaken
public confidence in the bureau and to
lower its own morale. The change in
directing personnel, just announced,

Senator Copeland of New York, who
directed a Senate investigation into the
death of Senator Cutting, has insisted

which permits the interplay of political
ambitions and political backing within
an organization such as the Air Com
merce Bureau should be abandoned as

Two Men Who Exemplfy
Honorable Statesmanship

To the Editor Of The Star:
Who is a statesman? Is It not the
Senator or the Representative who puts
principle above political expediency? If
this is true, then are not William
Edgar Borah, United States Senator
from Idaho, and Hatton w. Summers,
Representative from Texas, outstanding
exemplars of who are statesmen in
Senate and House of this Seventy fifth
Congress? Principle above political ex-
pediency has been, is, their political
dictum or credo. These two statesmen
are not each one for himself Cor his
political party, and may the devil take
the hindmost," but believe, advocate,
vote in Congress or out of it, the "vox
populi vox Del" of the vast majority OF

world putting drops into ones own eyes.
Nor is it play to put them in the eyes
of another, especially If the patient Is
of the jumpy, fidgety type.
Few persons who are not acquainted
with this art have any idea that the
best way to drop drops into the eye Is
with the lids closed.
Effort to hold the eyelids staringly
apart Is worse than wasted. It makes
one highly nervous and does not permit
the wash or medicine to enter properly.
The best way Is to close the eyes. but
be sure the lids are not clamped shut.
Hold them naturally, Just as II one were
trying to permit little light, but not
much, to enter.
While the dropping may be done while
one Is sitting in chair, 1t Is faci1-
tated If one lies on the back COM
fortably.
The head is held slightly to one side
and the drop dropped-not squirted-
into the inner corner. next the nose.
The eye Is now opened and the head
turned slightly the other way. This
makes the liquid run along the lower
lid. Now Is the time to open the eyes
and wink them several times. This
diffuses the drop. It is amazing how
much liquid there is in drop, after all.
The lid can now be wiped with q
clean handkerchief and attention turned
to the other eye. Two drops per eye is
the usual prescription, but they are best
put in alternately-that is, one in the
left eye, then one in the right. then
back to the left, then back to the right.
This procedure gives time for each
drop to wash around, as it were; moth
ing hurried, nothing worried. One can
not hurry with the eyes.
This alternate system permits small
mucous formations to be washed out
and any tiny grains of dust and the like.
It also makes sure that the second
drop will not push the first out too
hastily. This is important. The amount
Of liquid used is small, after all, but it
Is enough If it is utilized. With good
eye drops there will be some absorp-
ton, and this cannot occur If the drops
wash each other out too hastily.
It is best never to use eye drops ex-
cept after one has washed and dried
the face, and this makes early morning
and retiring the proper times. OF the
two. If only one time can be used, night
Is best.
If it is impossible at the time to wash
the face, the eyes should be closed and
the lids wiped gently with clean hand
kerchief before the drops are used.
4 ~
Whether one gets drops from an ocu-
list or prefers to use his own judgment
with some manufactured article, the
thing to keep in mind is the eye and its
reaction.
Keep close watch on the drops and
the effect, and see If the eyes really are
benefited. There can be no doubt one
way or the other. The eyes are SenSi-
tive, responsive and leave no doubt Of
good or bad treatment, one way or the
other.
In matters of diet, for instance, one
has to wait a long time, sometimes
months, or even years, before one can
be sure one is getting any results.
The eyes tell in short order whether
they are being benefited.
One thing more: Do not jab at the
eyes with the end Of the dropper. Hold
the working" end well away from the
eye and be sure to keep it away.

To the Editor OF The star:
The opponents Of the Presidents court

my opinion the court is already

ated Republican Presidents, with the
exception of Justice McReynolds, who is
a Democrat only in name. Pierce But
ler is another of the same stripe. All
honor to Justices BrandeiS, Stone and
Cardozo, and sometimes Hughes, who
put human rights above property rights.
The other reactionaIy Justices repre-
sent the views Of the Presidents who
appointed them. How can President
Roosevelt put into effect his humanl-
tartan laws when these justices base
their opinions on prejudice instead OF
on fact? I say prejudice" advisedly,
it otherwise, when half Of them render
their decisions against and the other
half for? Who is right? Isn't 1t just
possible that the minority might be
right at least part of the time?

'You shall not have them" They seem
to hold property rights more sacred than
human rights. They can say that any
law is unconstitutional.
Mr., Rooseveltis enemies say, Pass the

good intentions. Look how long 1t has

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Templeton Jones was fascinated by
the ornament on the woman's hat.
Obviously, it was intended to repre-
sent an icicle.
The wag who had manufactured 1t,
however, had made it in the exact shape
of a medicine dropper.
Had the enlarged end been colored
black it would have been patent to any
onlooker.
As it was, only the curious mind Of
for what it was.
The more he looked at it the more he
wanted to squeeze the end of the drop
per" to see what medicine" would
come forth.
Many things have been used as orna-
ments on ladies' hats.
In the old days it used to be worse
than today.
In addition to great plumes Of ostrich
feathers, whole stuffed birds were used.
One of these was the inspiration for the
old music hall success, "The Naughty
Little Bird on Nellie's Hat"
Fortunately, the modern interest in
bird life precludes Qet us hope) the
use OF Such material.
More in the modern mood is violin
re" string, such as was looped success
fully on toque Of few years past.
Modernistic material, SO called, fits in
well with the small, and at times absurd,
hats which grace-or do they?-the
heads of the feminine portion Of man
kind.
You have to have your hair curled,
some one told Templeton Jones, before
most of them look good on you.
The fascination Of dropping medicine
out of dropper is endless, Jones mused
Heart stimulants and eye drops were
two which occurred to him-not that
he had ever had to use the former.
With eye drops, however, he was well
acquainted. Dropping them properly
into the eye was somewhat Of feat
No doubt more persons should use them
than do.
The eye, after all, is a marvellous in
strument, q divine camera, which no
more "sees" than a camera secs"
1t is the mind which really sees, OF
course.
The image Of all before the eyes is

picture screen, but If it were not for the
mind 1t would lie there as unknown to
him or her who sees as the picture" is
unknown to the camera which takes it..
Many persons, even in washing the
face, seem to have a horror Of getting
a little water in the eyes.
Yet these precious organs need care,
the same as the rest Of the body.
Cleanliness is as important to them as
to the hands and face, but one cannot
go at them hammer and tongs or use
rough cleansing instruments.
AS for soap in the eyes-that is the
bane Of all small creatures, and no
wonder! It smarts like anything.
Soap also is too harsh; even the finest
soap is too harsh for those delicate
tissues.
Drops, then, do the work. If properly
prescribed. made and used, they give
the eyes bath when they need 1t.

Many persons who would like to use
eye drops do not know how to use them.

III Duce Cirds His Loins.

Notwithstanding the Anglo-Italian
entente providing for peace and mutual
liberation in the Mediterranean, Musso-
lini has decided to meet the challenge
offered by Great Britain's $7500,0O0,0OO
rearmament enterprise. Poor in capital
and raw materials to the point of i'm
poverishment compared with Great
Britain's resources, Italy cannot hope
to match her in an ornaments race.
But II Duce showed, during the Ethi-
opian crisis, that even an inferior fleet,
supplemented by powerful air force, is
capable of bluffing mighty Britannia to
Standstill. He demonstrated that Italy
is not devoid of either nerve or capacity
sufficient to command respect at
critical moment in the strongest quarter.
Out of humiliating British experience
last year is born to a large extent John
Bulls prodigious new program.
Proceeding on the principle that world
armament competition has now been
renewed on a scale which permits no
hope of limitation, the Fascist Grand
Council announces that Italy henceforth
will leave no stone unturned to augment
her armed power Sacrifice without
stint will be imposed upon the nation,
even if it means complete subsection of
civilian needs to military requirements.
No bones are made of the reasons i'm
pelling this militant policy. 1t is avow-
edly based on Italy's determination, as
one of the LESS endowed countries to
rich in financial sinews and natural
resources" Thus Mussolini boldly sig
nails that his have not" people will not
permanently rest content to see the
good things of the earth monopolized
by have" powers. On the day Italian
armament plans were disclosed the
League of Nations published figures
showing that four countries-Britain,
the United States, France and the Meth
erlands-among them control more than
60 per cent of the principal raw mate
rials-not revelation designed to dimin-
ish II Duce's contempt for peoples still
addicted to democratic government.
What Mussolini now projects is vir-
tually lifetime preparedness for war.
Every Italian male between the ages OF
18 and SIS will be perpetually subject to
mobilization and periodical training.
The kingdoms armed force is to be sys-
tematically and intensively expanded in
all directions, and all its energies har-
messed to that end. Industry and science
are called upon to exhaust their in
genuity in promoting national self
suficiency, with view to decreasing
dependence upon foreign rawstuffs and
other supplies. Underlying the entire
scheme is the unabashed purpose to
convert Italy into nation in arms, so
that the new Roman empire shall be
made invincible in war and capable of
wrestling for fascism that richer place in
the sun to which it considers itself en-
titled. Mars has new and potent ally
on the Tiber.
