Gather We ROsebuds.

Douglas Corrigan will be in Washing
ton Wednesday. Already he has received
the acclaim Of great cities on both sides
Of the Atlantic. New York has given
him a welcome which, reckoned by the
usual Department of Sanitation stand
ards, exceeded Lindbergh's by $50 tons
of trash showered on his head. He has
been deluged with the usual flood of
vaudeville, advertising, circus and movie
offers.
When he arrives in the National
Capital he will be met with another
organized reception. It is to be hoped
the greeting will be properly fitting.
Equipped with name, a smile, and a
devil-may-care attitude which formed a
perfect frame for his exploit, the young
Californian gave newspaper readers a
pleasant thrill. For this alone he de-
serves all the glory he can get.
The fact that his name is merely an
echo across several generations of re-
moval from the Ould Sod or that his
mistake" added very little to the course
of practical aviation should make no
difference. He did have the stun to put
it over. He showed courage and ability.

He showed independence. rot only in
making the mistake" but previously in
refusing to I'LL out his social security
card. Not altogether wise independence,
but at least the spirit of individualism
which keeps Americans American.
He has expressed the hope that his
reward might come In the form Of a
job In air transport. He would prefer
that to any of the more spectacular forms
OF temporary glory. At the moment,
though, none is in sight. He is having
his thrill and should get all he can while
1t lasts. The first man to fly the Atlantic
as passenger was named Levine; the
FIRST woman to swim the English Channel
was Gertrude Ederle. Who were the
boys who made the first endurance flight
by refueling in the air? Their names
occupied the front pages for weeks.
Let Douglas Corrigan have his day
Perhaps very soon, when he finds he can
walk along the street in peace, he will be
thankful that we can not all be Lind
berghs.

neither Gov. Davey nor Gov. Chandler
was looked upon with favor by the Roose-
welt administration. Gov. Davey has
characterized the charge as last-min-
ute effort by his political enemies to
defeat him in the primary. Whether
that is true or not will be determined
during the hearing the Social Security
Board has announced 1t will hold to In
vestigate the matter.
The board. however, should not stop
with the Davey incident. While there
have as yet been no complaints against
administration candidates, they are apt
to arise in the future. and the board
must be equally alert to discover abuses
on the other side of the political fence
or the disbursement of social security
funds soon will descend to the same level
that has characterized the expenditure
Of relief money.

Pension Abuses.

The charge that Gov. Martin L. Davey
Of Ohio is appealing improperly to the
recipients Of old-age assistance in his
State in his campaign for denomination
points to an abuse of the social security
laws that is apt to become more prevalent
in the future unless firm and impartial
action is taken.
There are some 10000 persons in Ohio
receiving old-age pension checks averag-
ing $40 month. 1t is obvious they would
constitute potent asset to any politician
If he were permitted to corral their votes
with promises of still higher pensions,
but it is just as clear that such election
eering strategy is indefensible and in
tolerable.
At the present time. charges that the
Social Security Act have been misused
politically have come from but one other
State-Kentucky. The complaint there
was lodged against supporters Of Gov.
A. B. Chandler, who was opposing Senate
Majority Leader Barley, the New Deal
candidate. in the State primary.

RELAXED NERVES
BY THE RIGHT JAMES E. FREEMAN ID. d, D., c. l.,
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON.

To return now and again to places that
were associated with the things Of
youth is wholesome and renewing ex-
perience. Regeneration Is profitable.
the more so as the years multiply. Life
grows callous and unresponsive to its
finer impulses without periods of ref1ec-
ton and the renewing influence that
comes from Renaissance. The English
poet had this in mind when he wrote:
and soon,
Spending and being spent we lay waste
our powers"
He was thinking of the persistent,
never relaxing pressure of current events
with the toll they take of energy and
their Gripping influence upon initiative.
Yes, but they do more than this, they
render us unresponsive to those fine i'm
pulses and ideals that are associated
with youth. The habit of life today is to
try to keep step with the swift move
ments of the time. Our very haste be-
comes monotonous and the bright colors
of colorful age lose their appeal We
have moved a long way from ways and
practices that were marked by simplicity
and freedom from haste.
Some years ago busy lawyer turned
from his professional habits to writing
and one of his fascinating books, that
might have been photographed, told
the story Of successful man who had
reached his f1ftieth birthday anniversary
1t was a notable milestone in his life.
and it made him reflective AS he sur
veyed the marked evidences of his pros
porous position, the luxuries that ac-
cumulated wealth had provided, he was
moved to compare his present estate with
the humber, simpler ways of his youth.
Suddenly strong impulse moved him
to return, and quite alone, to the scenes
Of his childhood. He found MANY
changes, many faces gone, but here and
there were still those who had known
him in his youth. He fingered with
deepening interest over scenes that had
long been forgotten. The contrast be-
tween present possessions and indulg-
ences and the ways and habits. yes and
the ideals OF early life, moved him to
resolve to recover. il he might, some Of
the finer things his new world had taken
from him.
The story relates the struggles he made
and the difficulties he encountered. but

made recovery of ideals and wholesome
ways that were associated with LIES
most real and eventful period, the period
of youth.
There Is something unreal, yes, and
unsatisfying about most Of our life today.
We are caught up and entangled in the
size and bulk of things. We are employ
ing new vocabulary and it is largely in
in moderate and simple terms. The
pace is swift and ever swifter. Occupa-
tons and amusements are infinite in
their variety. "Step lively" is the pop
ular American slogan. 1t is descriptive
of a state of mind that has wide favor.
One does not play the role OF the reac-
tionary If he pauses now and again to
make inquiry as to where the swift pace
is carrying him. We are led to wonder
as to what would issue from an enforced
slowing down coupled with relaxed
nerves of this hectic generation! Would
it set us on our way to better days
ahead? Is the deepening concern for
material well-being and the insistent
discussion of world unrest, with ominous
shadows that suggest another mighty
and devastating struggle, the normal and
natural resultant of strained nerves?
In the life Of the busiest man that ever
lived. the Master who was bent upon a
worlds salvation, there were periods
when, despite the insistent call of His
great work, He turned away from life's
pressures for quiet and reflection. We
read that, leaving the large centers and
the thronging multitudes. HE came to
Nazareth, where He had been brought
up," and when He returned to the scenes
of His youth, He went to His Church
and addressed His fellow townsmen. As
matter of fact He presented to them
vision of the magnitude of His pro-
gram. There is something strangely ap-
pealing in the statement: He came to
Nazareth where he had been brought
up" If we would now and again 20
back bit. back to scenes that are asso-
ciated with the finest and sweetest ex-
periences of life, the place where we were
brought up. we would find it compensat-
Ing and renewing. 1t would give us
better understanding of the deep mean
ing Of life and a better appreciation of
its true and lasting values. 1t would
relax and ease overstra:ned nerves.

p. W. A. News.

Political cynics will find much to
justify their attitude In the manner in
which news of P. w. A. allotments are
being made public in States involved in
political campaigns this year.
Latest example of this sort of New
Deal aid came to light in Maryland,
where Representative David j. Lewis is
engaged in heated struggle with sena-
tor Willard E. Tydings for the Democratic
senatorial nomination.
When the P. w. A., which denies it
dabbles in politics, made an .allotment
for Montgomery County schools Mr..
Lewis ONCE obtained the news and
advised his constituents many hours in
advance of the oficial press release.
The practice of boosting members of
Congress friendly to the administration
by letting them make the first announce
ment Of P. w. A. grants has been followed
In numerous instances. BY this time the
public is awake to the method, so that
the announcers may not find themselves
very much benefited after all. Many
voters realize that in some instances the
opponent Of the man who makes the
announcement was the one who first
sponsored the project in Washington.
The Maryland instance, however, also
includes another type of strategy that
has become familiar-maneuverin in
tended to show that a pro-New Deal
Representative is more valuable to the
citizens Of his State than an anti-New
Deal Senator. The effect of such moves
in Maryland, where States rights long
has been a cardinal principle OF the
voters philosophy, is problematical.

Arlington Parkway.

Another major improvement in Airing
ton County is under way with the COM
mencement of the George Washington
Memorial Parkway extension from the
Lee boulevard, at Columbia Island, to
Key Bridge. This will complete the
road building in what is known as unit
one of the George Washington Memorial
Parkway and emphasizes the desirability
of acquiring land for unit two of the
parkway-a project that is still pending
because Arlington has not yet put up
its share of the cost, $4,000.
The road now being built will do much
to relieve congestion on the Virginia
side of Key Bridge where two heavily
travelled highways converge. 1t will
enable traffic to take a scenic shore
route into Washington over Arlington
Memorial Bridge. Those who do so,
residents and visitors alike will enter
the Capital by one of its most attractive
approaches.
The desirability of more such ap-
proaches, on which beauty rather
than commercialism is the predominant
note, is only too evident. Virginia is
fortunate in having the Federal Gov
eminent develop the potential beauty
of its natural gateways to the Capital
and foot most Of the bill. Possibly the
parkway unit now being completed will
benefit Arlington through relief of traffic
congestion more than any additional
section to be constructed
But it would be shortsighted indeed
for Old Dominion authorities to fail
to take the steps necessary to carry the
parkway farther up the river.
