While Capt. Eden had a most en-

was decorated on the\feld of bat
tie, he believes in peace with honor,
but is keen for adequate prepared

Nations conferences and has en-
phasized at different times that as
Great Britain is nation of traders,
peace and settled conditions are
needed the world over if the flow of

Phi Beta Will Celebrate
162d Anniversary.
In the beautiful Apollo room of
the historic Raleigh Tavern ct Will
liamsburg, Va, will be celebrated

The tradition is that the famous
society was founded by students of
the College of William and Mary in
the old Apollo room on December S,
1776. 1t was in the room of Thomas
Jefferson. in the old college building.
that the first meetings were held, at
which the founding or organizing of
the society was discussed. Later the
students resorted to the Apollo room
favorite place of meeting. This
room Is said to have been named for
room in the Devil Tavern, London,
which had been frequented by Raj
eigh, Ben Jonson and their friends.
The motto OF the tavern was carved
in the frieze In gilt letters above the
mantel in this reom-"Hilaritas Sap
ientiae ct Bonae Vitae Proles"-"Jol-
lity, the Offspring of Wisdom and
Good Living"
A letter of Thomas Jefferson's re-
ferring to the Apollo room of his
time has become a classic. In 1853,
while student of law at William
and Mary, he wrote to a friend:
Last night, as merry as agreeable
company and dancing with Belinda
-Rebecca Burwell of Carriers Grove
in the Apollo could make me- The
charming thing was that so the la
dies of the time might have their
own meeting place the Daphne"
room was added to the old tavern.
Named for the wood nymph pursued
by the sun god Apollo, this room
Is one of Mr.. Rockefeller's most
beautiful restorations.

England's Bad Boy
May Visit Here.
When the British Embassy was
asked day or two ago whether
Capt. Eden would come to Wash
ington, like the late Will Rogers they
said they only knew what they had
seen IN the papers. AS the Ambas-
sador, Sir Ronald Lindsay, will
doubtless be on vacation at that
time, and the captain comes unoffi-
cially any visit he might pay here
would be wholly private. Just at
this time the captain is Englands
bad boy. encouraged by Mr.. Winston
Churchill, and they are both
anathema to the Prime Minister. He
may come as the guest of Mr.. Nor
man Davis, head of American Red
Cross, with whom he has been init
mate for some years. But If the
handsome M. P. should come, what
a stir there will be. The best-dressed
man in Europe, eh? And since the
Duke of Windsor left, the arbiter

tlemen OF the Department of State
will be all in a huddle.
Laying all jesting aside, however.
as we nave said before, the United
States has kind of proprietary in
terest in Capt. Eden, as he is the
descendant of former governor of
the Province of Maryland, who was
created baronet in the auspicious
year 1776. He is a son of the late
Sir William Eden, seventh Baron
Of West Auckland and fifth baronet
Of Maryland. There are some
charming letters in the archives of
the Historical Society of that State
which are not altogether favorable
to Robert Eden, and deplored his
attitude toward the colonies. 1t is
reported, by the way, that Maryland
has expressed desire to have Capt.
Eden visit there.

mount is allowing the director the
greatest latitude and besides handling
the megapfone he is serving as pro-
ducer. His conduct on the set is less
foreboding than in his other efforts
and he is inclined to jest with crew
and troupe. He is just as exacting,
demanding take after take until each
scene is to his liking. He has learned
how to handle American workmen
and is getting more cooperation than
he did before. He generally arrives
on the set at 8:45 and before the
cameras start to turn the property
men arrive with coffee and dough-
nuts for everybody. This seems to
put the crew in good humor, condi-
ton reflected during the balance of

touch. The cycle of prison stories has
saturated the market. he believes. and
that some deviation should be made
from the assumption that all criminals
are the victims of society. In You and
Me- he presumes that the villains in
a criminals life are other criminals
and that if the petty lawbreaker is
approached in the right manner he
can either be lead or ridiculed out of
his conception of society. In short,
Lang is expounding the theory from
the criminals angle that crime does
not pay.
His protagonists are George Raft,
playing an ex-convict, and Sylvia Sid
ney, who. unbeknownst to Raft, is also
on parole. In addition to the satire
levelled at the law-abiding. he is de-
