Retreat From Turmoil.

A man who deliberately turns away
from the turmoil of the world and seeks
peace in some sanctuary not yet wrecked
by the storm is well-advised in his re-
treat. He knows instinctively that wars
and revolutions, class strife, political
controversy, business competition, the
struggle to survive in an era of con-
fusion, all these have a coercive effect
upon the soul; they crush the spirit.
To escape from them momentarily is
imperative, if one is to preserve any USE
full degree Of sanity.
1t is related of King George v that
at the beginning of Armageddon in 1914,
he put away the stamp albums which
had been his delight since boyhood and
notified his philatelic agent that for the
time being he would have no leisure for
the further pursuit of his favorite hobby.
Several years came and went before the
sovereign realized that he was entitled to
resume his harmless recreation. But at
last it occurred to him that there was 4

interest isolated from the battle He
called for his books again and prime
ministers and field marshals found him
serenely busy with them when they
visited Buckingham Palace to tell him
OF the progress Of the fight. The greatest
ruler in Christendom was not ashamed
to be known to cultivate an avocation rel-
atively inconsequential. Even when
civilization was in peril of destruction he
believed it worth while to maintain
philosophic detachment The alterna-
tive was that of complete surrender to
the psychology of chaos.
Similarly, the average American needs
surcease from tension and strain, worry
and the weariness which accrues from
ceaseless endeavor to keep ones feet in
tidal wave of trouble. A note of rev.
erence and gratitude might be detected
in the sentiment of Washington resi-
dent who yesterday confessed to his
family: Thank God for Sunday-a few
hours can spend with things that do
not matter!"

Juvenile Vandalism Leads
Toward Adult Lawlessness

To the Editor Of The Star:
am seriously distressed by the news
item in The Star of February II about
the 'wanton destruction of home fur
nishings in Chevy Chase residence by
q group of children.
As parent and as resident Of Chevy
Chase am deeply concerned with the
question Of why there Is such widespread
lack Of respect for the property of other
people. We see 1t in many instances in
this community, where the educational,
economic and social status of the people
appears greater perhaps than In other
localities.
A child is not born with the capacity
tor discriminating between things that
can and those that cannot be broken or
torn. This distinction is decidedly the
outcome Of gradual learning, the process
Of trial and error, and careful training.
The importance Of supplying appro-
pirate constructive outlets for the childs
activity is one of the few definite rules
which the present generation of parents
will accept without reservation. We no
longer expect the child to be good" IN
the sense of being inactive.
The use and care of possessions are
important parts Of the social discipline
in managing the activities Of children.
Parents need to teach distinctions Of
property: Mine-to use in my own ways.
Thine-respect for belongings OF others.
Ours-the proper use of common pos
sessions.
Are we. the parents of Chevy Chase,
not aware of the importance of this
phase OF child training, are we too busy
with social activities to give the neces-
sary time and attention to this training,
or do we not realize that such wanton
destruction is long step toward adult
laWlessneSs? ALICE L. WOOD.

Hoover Depression and
The Roosevelt Recession

To the Editor OF The Star.
The Hoover depression was inherited
by him, which he willingly accepted, in
his capacity as past master of similar
catastrophes. The cause of the depres-
sion was too much prosperity during the
two previous administrations and would
have adjusted itself had he not been
pushed off the bridge by more aggres-
sive and avarice aspirant for Office
The Roosevelt recession is the result of
hard times, brought about by his inter-
ference with the natural course of events
which he hoped to control. Capital, ma
ture and human beings are uncontrol-
liable, at any price Let us not try it
again. Compare the two administrations
before the Hoover regime to the two
that followed. FRISBEY GILBERT.

lem Of road safety and saving their high
ways from destruction, would do we'll

their Legislatures to adopt q. similar
statute. Only few days ago, Maryland.
faced with the problem Of the destruc-
ton OF roads by the gigantic trucks
rumbling over them during the al
ternate periods of freezing and. thaw-
ing, placed siX-ton limitation on trucks,
but, for some reason as yet unexplained.
quickly rescinded the order. But the
original action indicates that the prob
lem Of road destruction, aside from the
matter of safety, is serious one. The
court took specific notice OF these fac
tors in its decision, when 1t said:
THE record shows without. contradic-
ton that the use of heavy loaded trucks
on the highways tends to force other
traffic off the concrete surface onto the
shoulders Of the road adjoining its
edges and to increase the repair costs
materially. 1t appears also that as the
width of trucks is increased it obstructs
the view of the highway, causing much
inconvenience and increased hazard in
its USE"
But the truck decision is more far
reaching than that of safety and road
destruction. AS the trucks have become
almost as large as railroad box cars,
they have become a means of serious
competition with the railroads, which
have suffered from dwindling freight re-
ceipts. The power given by the Supreme
Court to the States in the South Caro-
lima decision might well be taken to
mean that limitation on the size of
shipments over the highways may effect
relief for the railroads. With South
Carolina on the route of coastal Ship
ments, the trucks engaged in through
traffic would have to be small enough
to comply with the statute of that State
A circuitous route around the State
would, of course, be expensive.

Apropos discussion Of, the $1,000 900
super r-highway scheme, it now appears
that. instead of originating with Senator
Bulkley of Ohio, current proponent, or
anybody else in the present Congress,
the plan was first incubated, as legisla-
tive proposition, in June, 1929, in joint
resolution of Representative Robsion of
Kentucky and Senator Phipps of Colo
rado. Phipps' resolution passed the
Senate in 1880. When the Coloradan
was no longer in Congress, the resolu-
ton was reintroduced by Senator Frazier
Of North Dakota in 1881. BY an interest
ing coincidence, the first comprehensive
project for express motorWays on a trans
continental scale was the brain child
of Lester P. Barlow. the Stamford
Comm inventor who has just startled
big Navyites in Congress with reports
of new aerial mines which, dropped
from tremendous heights, could blanket
an area 10 miles square in three or four
minutes and cripple even battleships
by destroying the auxiliary craft which
supplies and augments them. In book
entitled What Would Lincoln Do?"
published in 1881, Mr.. Barlow described
at length such super-highway enter

Admiral Emory Scott Land, just named
chairman of the United States Maritime
Commission, was member of the late
Admiral Sims World War staff in London
in 1917-18 Few Americans are so well
posted on international maritime affairs,
especially the British merchant marine,
as Joe Kennedy's successor in the her
culean task of building a mercantile
fleet for Uncle Sam under almost pro-
hibitively costly construction conditions.
Admiral Land took degrees at the Uni
versity of Wyoming, Annapolis and the
Massachusetts, Institute of Technology
before entering actively upon his naval
career.
The Patriotic Society of Peru has de-

Pleasant Thought.


This world is still a pleasant place."
Said Hezekiah Bings,
Though members of the human race
Do some unpleasant things.
The snowy crystals lightly fall
And next the sunshine CLEANS
To bring the blossoms, one and all.
Forth from their land of dreams.
"The rainbows prisoned by the frost
Will find a glad release
When skies that have been tempest
tossed
Their mutterings shall cease.
Though Pride may struggle to efface
The good that Nature brings.
This world is still pleasant place."
Said Hezekiah Bings.

May we all remember Yorktown and
New Orleans and think of the Stars and

North and South, replied: Now they are
truly one as they have always been in
