Sir Ronald Gets 1t in the Neck

The then Prince of Wales (noW
eX-king of England dropped in on
us a couple of times He chased
from the Union Station down TO
the White House in an ordinary
automobile with nothing but a
pair of cops tootling ahead of him
on autocycles. He didn't obstruct
traffic but he drew crowds. Prince
Minister Ramsay Mcdonald was
guest. He held a press conference
as casually as any American cab
met member does. No newspaper
man had to have a passport to
get in. Troops didn't block all the
streets around the British embassy.
His press conference over, Ramsay
went out to the upper Rapidan and
sat on log to chat with President
Hoover. He didn't retire to
court" like Hyde Park, to eat hot
dogs in seclusion with our chief
executive.
Railroad transportation wasn't
tied up.
Suppose, on the day that the
king and queen are here. you want
TO take a train, for the Commute
run from Washington to Balti-
more? You'll have to have creden-
tialS to get in.
WaShington's Virginia suburb,
right across the Potomac from
Washington, has many bus com
muters who need to cross PennSyl-
vania avenue TO get into town on
royalty's day. They're negotiating
for a blimp to negotiate the jour

ably 10 or IL hours otherwise on
that date, except by air.
White House Influence
All this frets Washington's and
its nei2hborhoods populace.
It blames The White House for
cumming UP the works.
But what the heck does the
White House care? Its cars get
through.
/ The White House, III say. is un-
popular with its local pageantry
All the same, local newspaper
dom does have quite a widespread
, influence.
/ The country generally doesn't
care a hoot for its traffic problems
: but it is concerned, as to its prob
lens with kings and queens.

NO RAIL SUBSIDY
wall Street JournaD

Of the proposal of the Railway Busi-
ness Association for a direct govern
ment subsidy to railroads for the pur
pose of making good the deferred main
tenance in plant there is nothing good
to say, for in principle it is unsound
There is no remedy for the problem of
the railroads in a subsidy at the cost of
taxpayers. 1t would be in effect a sub
Sidy for security holders of the carriers
and there is no reason why they should
be subsidized any more than there Is for
substituting security holders in all other
corporate activities.
The claim of railroad security holders
is for opportunity not for handouts at
public cost nor for privilege of any kind
as against anybody What they chiefly
want of the public is that freedom of
which will put all upon an equal basis
in seeking business, whether it be case
of rates for service, coordination of faci-
lities or consolidation of plants-all un-
der conditions which will exclude dis
elimination, undue prejudice and prefer
ence and exaction of unreasonable rates.
In other words they simply ask for a
fair field and no favor for their part of
the transportation industry in the light
of that industrys present circumstances.
Given that, they must take their chance
with the rest.
They could not fairly ask any more
than this, and they cannot fairly be ask
ed to take less They do not ask for a
subsidy, they should not be offered a
subsidy, and they should not accept a
subsidy if it were offered

framing Uie illDlllc4 IldN 64'~ii '
typical American boy She TOLD
me some surprising things. Ihe
first and most important: She has
let him do things for himself
all his life. The value Of this, she
saws, has been to make him sell
reliant For instance, six boys were
chosen as the final entries in the
contest and brought to New YORK
where the judges saw them. After
the decision was made d candy
company invited the six BOYS to go
through their plant and then to
90 into their premium department
and choose any gift they wished.
What a moment this was for the
boys Every single boy chose a
camera. The boys, after the cam
eras were given them, started to
load them. Well. Karl McCrCady
was the only one who could load
his camera unaSsiSted. Then he
had to help the others,
Karl Just didn't happen to be
able TO load his camera alone. His
lesson for loading that camera had
begun years before. 1t had begun
when his mother first trained him
tC do things for himself.
She told me that when he was
a baby, he tell, and she did not
run to pick him up. She was
tempted to do so, but she was
thinking into the future. She let
him pick himself up. She has fol-
lowed that principle all his life,
and the result is that he can take
care of himself in almost any sit
uation.
Would you like to know the daily
schedule of this typical American
boy?"
Five AM: Get up.
Five-thirty: Eats breakfast
Six Milks COW.
Six-thirty to sevcn-thirty: PraC-
tees violin.
Eight: Gets on his bicycle and
rides three and onc-half miles to
school.
Four: Gets home from school
con his bicycle and eats a snack,
then lies down and takes a rest.
Four-thirty. Practices on his
violin.
Five: Milks the COW again and
helps his father with the chores.
Six: Supper The rest is free time
till
Eight-thirty: Goes to bed.
How does this compare TO your
sons daily program? It's a stiff
schedule, but the valuable thing
is that the boy has certain family
responsibilities and has to meet
them And he has TO depend upon
himself. For instance, he was
taught to milk a COW when he was
six, and ne has been milking ever
since.
The important thing, Mrs. Nc
Cready holds is TO resist the moth
eI-temptation To Go everything for
your child and TO let him do it TOR
himself. How wisel It's painful
at the time, but it yields bic re-
turns,

undoubtedly had very surprised

kinks ard every rough spots that are
to be quickly erased if the Lions

The team this year will reach
new high in weight. More nearly
resembling the huge lines of the
early thirties than any. team Of the
past four years. Speed and weight
seems to be present but the prob
lem of filling in tackles and guards
and ends that were made vacant by
the loss of Crawford, Carolina
Minfield, Alexander and Pyle from
the line will not be easily solved.
Several new faces that promises to
be good candidates are apparent

anything like the power of last

Milligan holdovers from last years
squad apparently have the edge over
the contending candidates who are
showing plenty of fight for at
least varsity berth this year and
should round into form within the
next two weeks.
