The Levine AtrOcity.

The finding of Peter Levine's body
ends search that began on the twenty
fourth of February and has been prose-
cuted during these many weeks without
result until the pitiful fragment was yes
terday washed ashore not very far from
the scene Of the kidnapping. Whatever
doubts there may have been regarding
the cause of his disappearance are now
sadly set at rest. That he was stolen
for financial gain is evident. There were
ransom notes, and there were efforts by
the parents to recover the child. These
came to naught. Whether the kidnaper
was afraid to disclose himself or to en-
gage in more direct negotiations for the
restoration of the child cannot be told.
Perhaps later inquiry will determine how
long the body had been in the water,
whether in fact he remained alive for
any length of time after he was taken.
It is possible that the stealer OF the
child feared ultimate detection, even
though he secured a ransom under
pledge of immunity from prosecution,
and slew the hostage for security against
pursuit. That this was an actual kid
naping for ransom is not to be ques-

New Deal Objective.

A careful reading of the public papers
of President Roosevelt fails to disclose
the objective of the New Deal. True, he
has talked about restoring America to
the people" "the more abundant life"
and peaceful revolution" in the theoret-
ical interest Of practical democracy.
Five years have passed since he sue
ceeded Herbert Hoover in the White
House. yet not one living soul knows
exactly what he wants, what he is trying
to do or what his next step will be.
To test prevailing ignorance of the ad-
ministration's purposes, stop on the
street any average twelve citizens and
ask them: What is your conception of
the target at which Mr.. Roosevelt is
aiming?" No two replies will be alike.
The verdict will be various and con-
fusing. AS the President has said, 1--WE
are on our way" but to what goal no.
body can be certain. Opinion commonly
is bewildered and, necessarily, bewilder-
ing. If 1t is suggested that the New
Deal has no other intent than to drag
both Park Avenue and Main Street down
to the level Of Tobacco Road, its de-
tenders instantly will deny the allega-
ton. Probably, they will insist that it is
an enterprise in uplifting, an effort to-
ward the elevation of "one-third of the
population ill-nourished, ill-clad and ILL
housed" They must be familiar with
the fact that it has shared poverty
rather than prosperity, yet they con-
tinue to argue that they planned it that

Of the sort. Historians Will agree that

Verona Takes Its Stand.
From the New York Times

FROM the New York Times
Drivers will slow down to 20 miles an
hour when entering Verona New Jersey,
not italy,, or Mayor David H. Slayback.
II years old but still active, will know
the reason why. "This," explained Mr..
Slayback to some of his Sunday captives
who had been intercepted at speeds of
between 20 and 90 miles an hour, 'is
town. not prairie"
Citizens of suburban communities will
not lack sympathy for Verona's attitude.
Mainline traffic passing through such
communities often makes it dangerous
for any living thing, including the
proverbial hen, to cross from one curb
to another. The city motorist frequently
betrays an unworthy contempt for the
"hick town." and disregards not only his
own and other peoples safety but also
the amenities to which he gladly defers
when he is at home and on foot He
needs a lesson. I
What such situations demand, how
ever, is not sporadic campaign of en-
forcement but more basic remedies. In
this country the motorist seldom knows
whether or not speed sign means what
1t says. Twenty mile -an-hour signs gen.
orally don't mean what they say-they
mean, as rule, that 80 or IS will be toll
Grated. Verona, and every similar com.
munity, ought to survey its traffic prob
lem, decide on the evidence what is a
safe maximum speed, and then let it be
known that this maximum will be en-
forced every day in the week and every
hour in the day. The speed trap is OBJ
solete and in the long run ineffective.
The time will come when no town or
city will think Of routing through traffic
down it's man streets. The bypass Is
the only final cure for what ails Verona.

Properly used, the common honey
suckle, or honysocle, has It's place.
On a muddy bank, 1t will hold the
soil together, and be a great deal better
than the bare earth, not only from the
esthetic viewpoint but especially from
the practical.
Where a fence is to be covered in
single season, few things are as handy
or serviceable. Small plants OF this
honeysuckle are to be had for the taking
in most woody places and lots.
There is just one danger in its plant
ing, and that is entirely due to failure
to keep 1t within bounds. 1t cannot be
held against honeysuckle that it grows.
Many Of our more precious plants would
be the better for bit of that quality.
Failure to trim and prune many plants
is due to fear on the part of the pruner
that he will harm the specimen:
No one can have this fear in regard
to the common honeysuckle.
Such trimming makes it grow all the
faster.
1t is a job, indeed, to keep this lusty
vine within bounds. The harder 1t is cut
back, the quicker it grows up again.
Sometimes yards and yards of it may
be taken from small section Of fence.
In time 1t grows very heavy, and unless
the fence Is of first quality. and properly
erected, 1t will bear it down.
Holding a great deal of moisture, the
honeysuckle tends to rot wooden fence.
y \
The vine honeysuckles belong to the
genus Lonicera.
The bush honeysuckle to the Diervilla.
Between the two, we prefer the vine,
which is also classed as a shrub, being
woody and parental.
Vines no longer have the vogue they
had years ago, when no mansion was
thought complete without the English
ivy.
But there is plenty Of opportunity for
their use around a small home grounds,
and the amateur gardener will be glad
to see evidences of a return to the use
of them.
We know where there are two homes
almost completely covered with vines at
this time of year. During the cold
months these specimens are reduced to
the long branches, which trace an in
teresting pattern over the walls. and
give a really picturesque note to the
home.
One Of the best services OF vines is to
cover the trellis formations once used
so much to cover the underside of
porches from the floor to the ground.
These trellises are never works of art,
from any viewpoint, and are best hid.
either by evergreens, or by vines Of
some sort.
The evergreen, Of course, is perma-
nent coverage, and a vine is not, but
no one really expects things to look
their best in winter; the real need for
coverage is during spring and summer.
There are great many of these trel-
lis effects which might be we'll covered
up with few vines. properly trained.
If vines are planted, they should be
kept trimmed in such a situation, for
their messy character is not in keep
ing in such place.
The honeysuckle is worth all its bad
points, If only that one may enjoy it's
keen fresh fragrance at this time of year.

toned. There is no evidence Of ven-
geance purpose. And the place where
the body was found indicates that the
lad was not taken to any great distance
from his home, but was kept, for at least
a short time. within fairly close range Of
the scene Of the kidnapping.
Thus in a measure the story Of the
Lindbergh kidnapping is repeated. In
that case the body of the victim was
found soma time after the taking OF the
child. Identification was complete in
both cases, though in this later case the
body was shockingly mutilated and only
the torso came to sight. Although iden-
tincation has been effected mainly
through the clothing, 1t is to be accepted
as fully satisfactory. Further proof may
be adduced as examination proceeds.
The present lack Of clues to the iden-
tity of the stealer of the child may seem
to balk pursuit, but in view of success
in such cases in the past-and the record
Of effective search for the perpetrators
OF such hideous crimes is encouraging
it is possible to hope for some revelation
that will lead to the detection and pun
ishment of the fiend who committed this
atrocity.
For the parents of the child, who have
maintained courageous hope for the
recovery of the victim during these
many weeks, there is the deepest SYM
pathy throughout the Nation. They
have little to solace them In their grief,
now made greater by the disclosure of
the hideous treatment of the victim,
save the knowledge that whatever SUI
ferings the little boy endured in the
course of his taking and hiding they are
now ended.
The law that was enacted in conse-
quence Of the Lindbergh kidnapping is
further justified, if that were necessary,
by the tragedy that is now brought to
the point of definite disclosure.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES 3. TRACEWELL.

Honeysuckle. honysocle-the one our
modern English, the latter the Middle
English form-but by any name mighty
sweet It this time Of year.
AS one goes around. especially In the
suburban areas, where there are not 30
many gasoline fumes at large, the sweet
smell Of this vine seems the very bene-
diction Of spring.
On dewy or rainy morning the fra
GRANGE Of honeysuckle comes IN doors
and windows and fills the house.
Even the despised common form, which
runs rampant over fences. is seen to be
a fine plant, worth cherishing for these
few weeks alone.
Most flowers with fragrance are dis
tinctive, but few as much 50 as that Of
the honeysuckle, the lilac, and the violet.
Perhaps the sweet pea, dimcult to
grow nowadays, ought to be included,
making four fragrances out Of the ordi-
nary run of sweet things.
The sweet pea used to be a favorite Of
home gardeners, but 1t is so no more,
owing to the almost impossibility OF
growing 1t in average situations.
Whether this is due to change in
the strain, or to unfavorable weather
conditions, we do not know.
The two hrst flowers the newcomer to
q small garden wants are roses and
sweet peas. Usually he gets the former
in abundance, If he is willing to put a
little money, work and intelligence into
his roses.
All his time, dollars and brains are
wasted on his sweet peas. If he gets
them to grow at all, the return in bios
SONS is niggardly, as compared with his
recollection of grandmother's garden.
Yes, he has tried all the approved
methods, all the tricks known to grow
ers, and still he has no flowers worthy
Of the name.
The sweet pea becomes to him some-
thing to be secured from the florist.
Perhaps it is just as we'll. There always
are flowers which are most dif1cult to
grow. but the amateur will never know
about them either from the catalogues
or his friends. The catalogues cannot
be blamed for not branding any of their
offerings as difficult" or impossible !"
Friends might help. but commonly they
wish to pose as omniscient, the modern
fault.
How few persons there are who will
admit that they do not know! About
anything. The modern pose is that every
one must know everything. Hence all
OF us have read all the books, heard all
the music, seen all that is worth seeing
If one may judge from conversations in
public places, there is no man alive who
could not solve all problems. national
and international, il he had the chance
Fortunately. there is no pretense about
honeysuckle vine.
A bluff. hearty grower, it twines its
way wherever it can as best it can, with
out asking or giving any quarter.
No matter what is done to 1t, next sea-
son 1t comes back as strong and rampant
as ever.
Inclined to be messy" we forgive it all
because Of its sweet flowers.
OF course, there are many more

bush honeysuckles, but when all is taken
into consideration, the common form

Brief Sketch of Origin
OF the Sudeten Germans

TO the Editor OF The Star:
1.-THE Sudeten Germans" The fore
bears of these people were brought in as
settlers by BohemiaS Slavic kings in
the 18th century, At that time the
kingdom had become part of the Ger
man-ruled Holy Roman Empire. The
kings voted at the imperial elections.
After 1925 the country was, practically,
an autonomous hereditary Hapsburg
kingdom. the estates" (nobles) retain
ing certain privileges.
These estates rebelled 1618 begin
ming of the Thirty Years War;, lost cut,
and Bohemia became simply province
OF German Austria. Like Ireland, the
country lost its national identity. The
upper class even disdained the use
Of the ancient language. In the 18th
century. when parliamentary govern
ment came in, the Czechs regained their
racial consciousness. A literary revival
took place (the historian Palacsky and
others, and in the Austrian Parliament
the Czech members wrested concession
after concession from hostile govern
ment. But the dream of ~Slav ruled
independence was not restored until the
treaty of Versailles (Masaryk).
The country, as we read, is bona fide
democracy. But even in a democracy 1t
is the majority that rules. And under
the present set-up the Czech -Slovak
majority is and will be on top. So. at

Memorial Day.

The annual observance of Memorial
Day began more than seventy years ago
as commemoration Of the heroic dead
OF the Civil War Gradually the spirit
OF the occasion has been expanded to
include all who have lived usefully and
died unafraid. Now the Nations fallen
soldiers and sailors are but a fractional
minority of those remembered. The
customs associated with the occasion are
not denied to any departed soul
Yet some distinction perhaps should
be maintained. The purpose of the
special rites of May 30 ought not to be
compromised too generously. 1t hap
pens that America stands in particular
debt to the men who, in the words Of
Abraham Lincoln, gave the last full
measure of devotion that govern
ment of the people, by the people, for the
people shall not perish from the earth'
Their sacrifice should not be misunder-
stood. 1t was a definite ideal for which
they gave their lives-the preservation
of civilization conceived in liberty
and dedicated to the proposition that
all men are created equal Whether
they fell in 1776 or in 1912, in 1861 or in
1898 or in 1917 matters little. The
elemental truth which needs to be
stressed Is that their objective was the
same.
But recently "the unfinished work
which they so nobly advanced"
has been visioned less clearly. The goal
designed by the founders of the Repub-
lie currently is represented to be some
thing different, something contradictory.
New and alien doctrines have been plausi-
bly, introduced to cloud the public mind.
Citizens charged with the responsibility
for protecting freedom in its traditional
purity have been urged to surrender to
the expediencies of moment. The
class struggle is openly preached, it has
been said that dictator is wanted to
impose prosperity upon the United
States, the loyalties of the past have
been ridiculed as mot good enough for
modern YOUTH" established institutions
have been criticized by individuals sworn
to uphold them, chaos has been praised
as prelude to a better social order,"
millions have been encouraged to believe
that the world owes them q more abun-
dant living without labor, whole COM
munities have been taught to depend
upon appropriation Of their neighbors.
On Memorial Day it is well to recall
that 1t was not for these unworthy con-
ceptions that the patriotic dead offered
all that they had that the Nation might
survive.
