there seems to be no immediate need
for that service at this time, in view Of
the demonstrated ability of the prosecu-
tors office to handle cases competently
when they are ready for trial, instances
may arise in which it would be helpful.
- In the meantime, however, there are
valuable contributions the members of
the bar can make. Among those that
might be suggested are continuance of
the excellent work of It's committee on
grievances in proceeding against lawyers
who demonstrate their unworthiness to
practice the profession: the promotion
of an organized effort to discourage
resort to technical pleadings with the
purpose of delaying trial and the adop-
tion of policy of lending more active
support as an organization to legislation
intelligently designed to facilitate the
eradication of crime
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Laws will
have the whole-hearted support of the
association in the furtherance of his
program. If the bar association really
gets behind the efforts of public officials
and laW-enforcement organizations to
improve conditions here a marked de-
crease in crime will soon become ap-
parent.

Lawyers and Crime.

The appeal by Bolitha J. Laws for the
active cooperation Of lawyers with the
public officials in combating crime in
the District was an auspicious launching
of his administration as president OF
the District Bar Association. Washing
ton lawyers as class have been singu-
larly free of the connivance with GRIM
inals that has stigmatized the profession
in some other cities. Instances here of
corrupt practices on the part Of at
torneys to shield criminals have been
notable principally for the infrequency
Of their occurrence.
But the fact remains that the lawyers
as a whole have not come forward with
the degree of active cooperation nee
essary for the effective curbing Of the
spread of crime. This was recognized
by Mr.. Laws when he told the associa-
ton that "co-operation is more than
good will; it requires definite, energetic
steps to be taken along constructive
lines"
As specific measure, he suggested
that outstanding members of the bar
might be appointed by the association to
aid In the prosecution Of criminal cases
without compensation when called upon
by the United States attorney. While

The Journey.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

The Journey.
We're seeking the land of the May Day,
Where the skies are clear and kind.
Swinging along toward the play day
Through the land of Never Mind.
Patient through hours regretful
That leave US no heart for song;
Patient through days all fretful,
When the storm beats fierce and long.
And when we're no longer lonely
And our griefs are left behind,
Well remember the shadows only
AS the land of Never Mind.

Islands in the Pacific.

hundred years ago America was too
busy and too poor to indulge in collect
ing hobbies. 1t tossed away islands, and
even continent, as housewife tosses
empty bottles into the trash can. Hun
dreds of them were being discovered in
the South Pacific by American whalers
and guano hunters. They were of no
practical value as real estate No Amer
leans would want to settle them. With
such vast expanses of prairie and forest
in its own domain the Nation was really
land poor.
But there were enthusiastic collectors
about especially France and Great
Britain. They had little more practical
use for the islands than America, but
it looked we'll to have the map of the
world dotted with their possessions. So
they enthusiastically added to their
world claims the worthless "old bottles"
which Uncle Sam has thrown away.
AS SO often happens after a century,
some of these old bottles would now be
priceless bits of property. The country
is going through the trash barrels of
its history, as one goes through old let
tiers in the attic, to see what can be
salvaged at this late date It has lust
announced its claim to the desolate
Canton and Enderbury Islands, which
would afford convenient way stations for
an airplane route between California
and Australia. There are plenty Of
others, first reported to the world by
American whalers. for which the Nation
might assert valid claim.
1t is safe to say that, up to a couple
Of years ago, nobody ever had heard of
these two dots of land except the fel-
lows who make maps of the world and
put in the splotches and pinpoints of red
which stand for the British Empire.
Then they suddenly became very i'm
portant indeed. Once. every year the
moon passes between the earth and the
sun and such occasions are eagerly
awaited by astronomers The light of the
sun is shut off for varying periods during
which important observations can be
made.
Last June there occurred the longest
such total eclipse of the sun in recorded
history and intensive study of maps of
the South Pacific showed that these two
islands were by far the most favorable
observation points. Scientists flocked
there, including q United States Navy
expedition, and the Nation discovered
that they were exactly what it needed.
Perhaps it is very good omen that the
sun itself should go so far out of its
way to help Uncle Sam find some of his
lost property.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Things keep growing, NO matter what
the garden owner does or does not do.
That is the hope of the average small
place, pride Of the gardener being what
ever it may be, his intentions such and
such, and his energy or lack thereof
whatever time brings.
The growing power of nature, let us
call it, which, once you have watched
it in operation, always delights, smazes
and soothes.
It delights the gardener, because it is
Of such vast profundity, clothing the
world in green, yet so gentle that the
softest red tip of the peony somehow
gets through the hardest soil.
It amazes, always, and forever more,
because really there is nothing more
amazing in this universe. Yet it is as
close to us as our own front yard, or that
patch at the rear which we love to call
our garden.
1t soothes, because when the gardener
is digging in the earth, or trying to help
growing things grow, he is one with all
those things, part of that gigantic grow
ing force Of which we speak.
Something of this attitude is in every
home gardeners mind, that is why it is
good to garden.
1t IS good to garden. because then the
cares and troubles of this reckless world,
seemingly getting worse as the years roll,
tend to drop away, in the interest in
small matters.
Gardening, Of all occupations, is made
up of small deeds, all good, in their way.
These operations, beginning with the
stuff Of mother earth, and ending never
far above her, are the result of count
less generations OF human and plant
growth.
There is no simple thing one may do
in the yard, from raking the leaves, to
putting in rose bush properly, that has
not been done countless millions of times.
Unless holocaust occurs, there is not
one of them which will not be done
literally millions upon millions of times
in the future.
All that man has been, all that he is,
all that he aspires to be, is tied firmly
to the end of rake.
AS the homeowner pulls that simple
instrument back and forth. it does some
t1AAAs " t1iC AdW1l, OuG IL dlSO uOcS SOlIle.
thing to him.
How is it possible to find a more
soothing operation?
The same holds good for digging and
cultivating, mulching the soil. putting in
stones where drainage is called for,
pruning shrubs, giving trees and plants
fertilizers, rolling the grass, reseeding-
All the hundreds of operations, each
one simple enough basically, but at the
same time linked to the stars and the
moon
Even the old belief in the force of the
moon as a growing agent is coming into
revival, not just among countrymen, but
also among scientists.
Each Horatio of the garden finds more
in this simple philosophy than he may
think at first, as he gazes at the blisters

on his hands, and groans overlong be-
cause Of aching knees.
+ ~
The garden is the chosen place to do
little thinking, but how many Of us
do it there?
We are so bemused with trying to
follow directions, that we have not time
for the wonder Of those mighty deeds
we are about to do there.
The grass is wet, and the thorns on
the roses mighty, and there Is no getting
away from the fact that lupins have
been mighty hard for some Of us to grow.
We hope that these new Russell
hybirds will be easier, more matter of
fact, more surely partaking Of the subtle
forces of growth which We SO highly
esteem.
Let the home gardener turn first to
his knitting-his lawn making-and ex-
anime well the worn spots in the grass.
These are the places to put in plenty
OF fresh seed, good mixture Of Kentucky
blue and some red top, mixed with a
little white clover. This is a good
formula.
Dip the right hand in the bag, and
draw it forth.
The surplus of seed runs through the
fingers like grains of softest sand.
There Is a pungent, almost tobaccy
smell, to good grass seed.
It is fresh and very Slightly damp It
is OF a pleasant oatmealish brown, but
when you throw it on the earth it seems
light enough.
The kind of thinking We do in the
garden is mulish, browsing thought of
thought, stubborn thinking, in a word.
The famous man with the hoe" per-
haps was not the miserable, british
creature the good poet thought.
Perhaps, for poetic purposes-but any
one who gardens even in the smallest
way can understand how the hoeman
would refuse to commit himself in re-
buttal.
He would be too busy thinking in the
curious way of gardeners everywhere,
and in every age
The delightful, the amazing. the
soothing qualities of garden work always
go back directly to the growth which
is everywhere now beginning.
This is the one quality which one must
never forget.
Overlook the good directions given on
all sides. in newspaper, book, magazine,
II you will, but never forget that the
real wonder-worker is nature, not us.
Those tulips, whose green leaves fairly
sprang through the soil a few weeks
ago
Those yellow crocuses in the grass
Those delightful peony tips, splitting
the crust of the earth
Those weeds in the vacant lot
one and all. they speak of something
which combines the divine and the prac-
tlcal IN way which few things do
Ihere are many practical things, some
re" olvlne things, but only handful of
those which so well combine both ouali-
ties, and make us see in the smallest
blade of grass the grand purpose which
lies behind both the divine and the
everyday.

highways to sneak out on motorists will
not supply the answer to the correc-
ton of traffic troubles that would be
provided by the authorization Of more
uniformed police.
The placing of such secret police on
the highways to ride up alongside of
driver at night would inevitably lead to
serious and perhaps dangerous incidents,
at time when hold-ups are occurring
nightly. Drivers moving along the high
ways of the city at night would be
likely, and rightly so, to cast scornful
and suspicious eyes, accompanied by a
sudden burst Of speed, when some person
in civilian clothes comes alongside and
calls for a halt. The matter would not
be helped by the display of badge,
because a man or woman in fear of a
hold-up is not likely to pause long
enough to study the inscription of a
badge which might be displayed as evi-
dence of authority. Anything shiny
might look like an official badge when
shown from under the cover of a coat
at night.
1t was not so many years ago that
the plan was tried of having motor
cycle police ride one day in uniform and
one day in plain clothes. The expert
ment proved questionable as to direct
results. 1t led to endless disputes and
confusion. sometimes to charges of re-
sisting arrest. The public then pro-
tested against such methods, and the
officials met the demand that uniformed
police be restored to the highways.
Nothing is going to hold down traffic
violations, with reduction of thetaking
of life and saving of limb, short of
providing funds to place on the high
ways enough uniformed police so that
the riders will know that the streets
are fully patrolled, and that if they vio-
late the law they are certain to be
caught, and will be promptly taken to
court to answer the charge.

The Numbers Bill.

united States Attorney David A. Pine
presented forceful indictment of the
crlme-breeding numbers racket in his
appearance before the House District
Committee in support of the numbers
suppression bill.
foregoing discussion Of tne moral
aspects of gambling, the new district at
torney struck at the real root of the evil
when he described the racket as a
propagator of Grimes of violence of the
most serious character"
On the surface, he pointed out, the
betting OF penny or a nickel or a dime
on number in the lottery scheme
seems harmless enough from the stand
point Of the player, but behind the
scenes lurk the shadows of hi-jackers,
extortionists and other dangerous GRIM
inals who find It profitable to prey on
the racket.
THUS" he declared, "the numbers
racket becomes serious menace to good
order and decent government" He
estimated that millions of dollars are
reaped by the powerful operators of
these Illicit enterprises, with consequent
possibility OF corrupt influences being
brought to bear in law enforcement
circles.
There are gambling laws on the
statute books now, but sad experience
has shown police and prosecuting officers
that they contain serious loopholes
through which the numbers operators
can escape. Mr.. Pine has taken a firm
stand behind the proposed legislation to
strengthen the lottery laws so that num-
bers racketeers may be prosecuted sue
cessfully.
The police have indicated a willing
ness to do their share in ridding WASH
ington Of the numbers menace. Mr.,
Pine has placed himself on record
against the racket in such way as to
leave no doubt as to the readiness of
the district attorneys Office to Join
wholeheartedly in the drive.
Congress will be derelict in its steward
ship of the Capital City if it fails to
give the police and the prosecutor the
statutory equipment with which to wage
an effective war against this rapidlv
growing form of gang lawlessness.

' New Auto Tag Year.

the tentative decision of the Fiscal
Affairs Subcommittee of the House Dis
trict Committee to write into the pro-
posed revenue bill provision changing
the automobile tag year from January
to March l should prove, at least to
automobile owners, rainbow in a sky
that might otherwise be clouded for
other taxpayers. There should be no
real objection in Congress to such a
provision which might prove a great
boon to car owners who are required
to Gig down now for their tags at a
time when their finances are probably
the lowest in the year, the period coming
as 1t does just after the spirit of Christ
mas has made its inroads into the family
income and surplus.
Tnere Is no particular reason why the
automobile year should coincide with
the calendar year, except that the tags
bear the number of the year for which
they are issued. When it became the
practice to issue tags annually for
license purposes, the calendar year was
apparently arbitrarily selected and it
has continued, at least here, ever since.
Maryland last year and Virginia sew
eral years ago changed their automobile
license years to begin on April /, in
answer to the demands of the voters as
evidenced to their legislators. The
argument there, too, was that the people
were 10 short in funds around the first
OF the year that they could not get
their tags, and the call came particularly
from the rural districts where the farm
ers many times had to delay purchasing
tags for their trucks until spring. Now
they purchase the tags in the spring,
and they carry them through the
winter.
As 1t is now, the District is between
two States which issue their tags at
periods at variance with the local sys-
tenn. In the interest of uniformity.
which also would make 1t easier for
police check-ups when needed, the pro-
posed change should be permanently
written into the bill, and in its final
reconsideration some thought should be
given to making the year begin on April
/, 80 that the license periods in the
three jurisdictions would be uniform.
