In order to present a true picture
of the United States and the Ameri-
can people to French radio audiences.
D. G. van Ackere, French representa-
tive Of the Columbia Broadcasting
System, is touring this country to
gather material for series Of 80
weekly programs to be given over
worldwide as we'll as French radio
networks.
Mr.. van Ackere arrived in Wash
ington Friday from New York and
spent the week end viewing outstand-
ing features of the Nations Capital
in order to prepare his Washington
program. Under the guidance Of Mel
son A. Loomis, director Of the United
States Tourist Bureau. National Park
Service, and Edward ]. Kelly, admin
istrative assistant, ONCE OF National
Capital Parks, he and Mrs. van Ackere
toured the parks and buildings as we'll
as Mount Vernon and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation Saturday.
You know" he said, the bulk
of the population in France, due to
the sensational treatment OF Ameri-
can news by the ajority Of French
papers, has a very warped idea OF the
true nature Of America. They read
of gangsters and love nests and me-
chanical feats with steel and stone"
To Combat Misconceptions.
BY giving French audiences a clear
picture of American life Mr.. van
Ackere hopes in some measure to over
come popular understanding.
One of the first things which struck
the soft-spoken Frenchman and his
English-born wife as they toured the
city was the spread OF the city In
proportion to its population.
You have a neutrality-suspicious.
city here from the looks Of it," he said
He said he would probably base his
Washington program on the fact that
Washington, with its spacious avenues
and beautiful parks, was originally
planned by L'Enfant, Frenchman.
That ought to prove interesting to
my compatriots," he said.
Another matter which Mr.. Ackere
thought unique was the fact Wash
ingtonians have no vote.
Here in the heart of one of the
worlds greatest democracies. which
boasts universal suffrage and whose
people fought because they were taxed
without representation, citizens have
no vote at all" he unused.

In connection with the parks-he
toured both kinds. Rock Greek Park

LAWYERS URGED
TO Be TOLERANT
American Bar Association
Head Says Reason Is
in Danger.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, July 25.-Arthur r.
Vanderbilt, president Of the Ameri-
can Bar Association, called upon the
Nations lawyers today to perfect the
processes Of justice as bulwark
against intolerance which stalks the
globe"
1--WE have reached the point where
suggestions for concentrating one's s
opponents in Alaska are seriously
advocated in open court by men claim
ing to carry the banner of democ-
racy," Mr.. Vanderbilt said in his an
nual address prepared for the 6lst
meeting of the association.
Mr. Vanderbilt, presumably, refer
red to the recent testimony of Mayor
Frank Hague of Jersey City, although
he did not mention the New Jersey
Mayor by name.
Intolerance stalks the GLOBE" Mr..
Vanderbilt continued The entire
world seems to be dividing into two
classes, one believing that whatever
is, is right; the other that whatever Is,
4 is wrong.
Reason and common sense seem to
be in danger of being crushed be-
tween the upper and neither mill
. stones of conservatism, so-called, and
Of liberalism, so-called. Some leaders
IN public life seem to be unable to
distinguish between freedom Of speech,
freedom Of the press and the right
Of lawful assembly on the one side
and treason to government on the
other"
Lawyers poured into Cleveland over
the week end to attend the flve-day
session Of the association and its
committees.
Lawyers adopted resolution urging
the appointment of United States
Circuit Judge Florence E. Allen Of
Ohio to the United States Supreme
Court
Paul Bellamy, editor of the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer, urged the junior
bar conference at its first session yes
terday not to be parrots and rest
content merely to echo the views of
the comfortable past and the comfort
able client"
In bill of particulars" the editor
told the young lawyers: The public
thinks you give yourself to many airs
take month to do Job which
could be finished = in a day . =
Cooperate to make a game = = out of
what should be solemn process to
arrive at justice, - charge toe much

TIPS to

Get Flowers Earlier

GARDENERS can get earlier
~ bloom from many flowers by
starting them indoors from seed
and setting the plants in the open
soil when frost danger is past.
Plant seeds of the following in
doors about six weeks before the
plants are to be set out: Dolphin
ium, pink, gaillardia, lobelia, my
osotis, pansy, Iceland poppy, sal
via, stock and verbena.
A week or two later the follow
ing can be sown indoors: Agera-
tum, snapdragon, aster, dahlia,
nicotiana, petunia, phlox drum
mondi, salpiglossis, scabiosa and
vinca rosea.
Seed may be procured at your
corner store sufficiently early to
permit indoor planting.
With a number of popular flow
ers, however, there is no advan-
tage to be gained by early start
ing indoors, according to Gilbert
Bentley, flower expert of the
Ferry Seed Institute.
In this class are sweet alyssum,
calendula, calliopsis, candytuft,
four o'clock, marigold and nastur-
tiurn.

Author of "God Save the Kinpn

The origin of God Save the
King" has been wrapped in mystery
for centuries. It was first sung
by Harry Carey at a dinner to cele-
brate the capture of Portobello by
Admiral Vernon in 1740, according
to Pearson's London Weekly. Carey
admitted authorship of the words,
but refused to commit himself about
the music. The song achieved in
slant success on the wave of patri-
otism that followed the declaration
of Bonnie Prince Charlie as king.
English citizens sang it everywhere
as retort in favor of the legitimate
monarch, and it was first sung in
the presence of the monarch, at
Drury Lane in September, 1745.
