CALLED Blackamoors or Nubians
" in the fashion magazines, these
smart little heads are now avail
able in a Washington store. The
originals are italian eighteenth
century buttons, and some smart
person made them into cuff links.
They were lent to Carriers in
Paris for copying, and now they
are again copied in America, in
the form of pins, to sell for just
ST.. The smart way to wear them
in Paris is in place of buttons on
your blouse or dress. In America
we find women wearing them on
a dress or sutton the lapel of a
suit or pinned at any convenient
spot on the dress. They're smart
looking little bits of finery, the
blackamoor's turban in white
striped in red, pearls making his
earrings, and many bands of gold
being wrapped about his neck. A
pair of them will make the most
up-to-date gift that you can find.

HIGH SCHOOL ROMANCE

HIGH SCHOOL ROMANCE
Dear Miss Fairfax:

has asked me to marry him, and 1
promised / would.
yet, when 1 call him up, he's
too busy with his lessons to really
talk. If any of his boy friends
call him on the phone, he doesn't
hang up on them, as he does on
me.
"He breaks dates and acts as

I'm wondering, with all this
emotional stress and strain, my

kind of marks you're going to
make.
And, if you have to take a job,
what equipment you will have for
it? Don't take this juvenile love-
making too seriously. When a
boy is in the beginning-to-shave
age all girls look as good to him
as candy in a candy store.
But it's a cruel mistake to let
these high school affairs prevent
you from making your grades.
And let me confide a secret to
you, my dear! The girl who shows
a little independence of character
and does not hang on a boys
every word is more popular than
the yielding type of young lady.
WHY WASTE MONEY?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
"AS to the lady who had a
drunken veteran for a husband,
please let me say that good old
Uncle Sam does not make drunk
ards of his soldiers, even if they
acquire the habit while they're in
the Army. So why waste money
curing them of inebriety?
Veterans who are really sick
need the hospital treatment and
the beds much more than the
drunkS do. Alcoholism isn't any
more of disease than drug.tak-
ing. They're both of the same
class, and the trouble is deficient
WillpOWer.
There are institutions where
inebriates are given treatment,
and if men-veteranS or otherwise
are sincere in their wishes to be
cured, why don't they take the
money spent on liquor and go to
one of these institutions?
"The blame and cure for drunk.

Fate of Court Bills Foes
Eight Democratic Senators Face Test at Polls
O'Mahoney's Dramatic Statement

Senate in 1884 he was supposed to
share Mr.. Farleys notions about
loyalty to the administration.
Showed knowledge Of History.
In the circumstances, Mr.. O'Ma-
honey's declaration against the court
proposal, at an advanced stage OF the
fight, might be attributed either to his
political intuition telling him the court
proposal was not popular, or to his
conscience telling him it was not right.
The latter assumption is much the
safer. The spirit and phrasing OF his
declaration showed him to be con-
scious Of high principle, and deeply
moved.
Our American courts, Mr.. O'Ma-
honey said, were designed for pro-
lection against arbitrary power. To
preserve them in that exalted function,
Mr.. OMahoney said, they should
never be under even the suspicion that
they might be dominated by either the
executive or legislative power
The right of the individual to be pro-
tected against the arbitrary use OF
power can be guaranteed only by the
courts, and II the independence of the
courts is not maintained, all guarantees
Of freedom and justice vanish. This
-" is the most fundamental question
OF basic Americanism that has been
presented to the Congress in a gen.
Grafton"
To those who said that the 27,000,-
600 votes for Mr.. Roosevelt were
mandate from an overwhelming ma
Jority, mandate to Congress to sur
render their individual Judgments
to this Mr.. OMahoney made a dra-
matte answer.
That quotation is one Of the most
important contributions made in all
the millions of words Of the whole
| court discussion. How does that dec
laration happen to appear in the con-
| stitution of Wyoming and not, so far
as I know, in the constitution of any
| other State? (Some one ought to
search the other Al State constitutions

| government-yet it was not written
| explicitly into the Federal Constitu-
ton nor into any OF the State ones
except that of sparsely settled noun
tain commonwealth.
I imagine the explanation is that
at the time We founded our Govern
ment we were so familiar with this
! principle, believed it so universally,
that we took it for granted.
Within a year the voters Of the
country must make up their minds to
what to do about Democratic Sena-
tors who are in Mr.. O'Mahcney'S
position. Mr.. O'Mahoney does not
happen to come up for reelection
next year, but there are some eight
other Democratic Senators in his po-
sition who do. 1t is safe to expect
the tates of these Senators will be the
most important issues Of next year S
congressional campaign. Their fates
will be determined, not so much in
the general election as in their fights
for denomination in the Democratic
primaries. That President Roosevelt,
National Chairman Farley and the
Evening star., 1937-06-03

Inc strong judgment Of Washing
ton is that the measure will not pass.
That it will not pass in the form in
winch Mr.. Roosevelt sent 1t to Con-
9ress, giving himself power to ap-
Joint six new justices. is taken for
granted. And most observers believe
1t cannot pass in the compromise
form that has been discussed, giving
Mr.. Roosevelt power to appoint two
new justices.
Reasons for Probable Defeat.
For the probable defeat Of the
measure, there are many reasons. Most
Of the reasons focus into one. A large
number OF Democratic Senators have
been SO impressed by the objections
to the measure that they Just will
not vote for it. The Senators who
have come to this position include
many whose loyalty to the party is un-
questionable. some whose loyalty to
the Roosevelt administration, with re-
spect to any reasonable matter, is
likewise unQueStionable.
Among positions taken against Mr..
Roosevelts court measure by Demo-
cratic Senators, that of Mr.. OMa-
honey Of wyoming is especially sig
niflcant. From the time the Presi-
dent sent his measure to Congress
for more than two months. up to
almost the very day Mr.. O'Mahoney
took his position, he had been
| counted in favor of it: newspaper COM
pilations listed him among the
"fors."
This incorrect assumption may have
arisen from Mr.. OMahoneys back
ground He had been a member oi
| the Roosevelt administration-Mr
Roosevelt when he took Office hac
made him First Assistant Postmaster
General. In that post he had beer

| cratic National Chairman FaGey

Fundamentally. he says, "all stand
ards used in industry are based on
national standards" The metric sys-
TEN was legalized by Congress in 1866.
PerVersely the legalized metric system
is only used for scientific work, for
eign trade. Inch and pound meas
ureS are in common use.
By act of Congress in 1901 the
National Bureau of Standards was
