The RoyuI Danes

Washington has met the first of
the seasons royal tourists and the
ensuing exchange Of compliments
was in accordance with the best ira
ditions of American and Danish
hospitality. Washington found Crown
Prince Frederik and Crown Princess
1ngrid charming" witty" and
"friendly'; the tall, athletic Prince
and his attractive Princess-the fu-
ture rulers of Denmark found
Washington to be the most beautiful
city they have ever seen.
Crown Prince Frederik and his wife
asked to be treated with the in
formality they both prefer. Wash
ington has respected their wishes
although the city was ready at the
drop of silk hat to render all the
formalities due their royal station.
The Crown Prince told reporters his
chief diversion is his private life
and being far away from the royal
court he naturally wants to make the
most of the opportunity to act as any
tourist. He and the Crown Princess
even INDUCED in the truly American
tourist delight-the "hot dog" thanks
to the thoughtfulness of President
and Mrs. Roosevelt. 1t is easy for
such engaging personages to win
their way into the hearts of demo-
cratic people.
Denmark and the United States are
bound by traditional ties of mutual
admiration and good will. Although
the land of the Danes is kingdom,
its government is quite democratic.
When Crown Prince Frederik be-
comes King, he will not be an
absolute monarch. He will be
constitutional executive who shares
his burdens with cabinet and with
a Parliament that is elected by the
people.
Since our relations with Denmark
always have been of the friendliest
sort, the United States and it's Ma
tional Capital have found it ex-
tremely easy to entertain Crown
Prince F'rederik and Crown Princess
Ingrid. Washington's only regret is
that the royal couple could not linger
longer within it's gates.

The Cancelled Cruise

Naval authorities have shown good
judgment in canceling the scheduled
practice cruise of midshipmen to
Europe. This is certainly an mop
perfume time to detach from the
Atlantic squadron three of it's key
units and dispatch them to foreign
waters on a training mission that
can be carried out just as we'll nearer
home. The battleships which were
to have been used on the cruise are
the New York, the Texas and the
Arkansas-three of the main units
of the fleet organization recently
assigned to protect the Atlantic coast.
The cancellation of the cruise will
be disappointment to the middies,
of course; especially to those who
may have joined the Navy not only
to serve their country, but to see the
world. The annual voyage to Europe
has become almost tradition. Not
since 1925 has the trip been aban-
doned, and that year the midshipmen
were given a substitute cruise in
the Pacific. This year the embryo
officers were to have sailed from
Annapolis on June for Antwerp.

Suppose Lincoln Had Been
Subject for Paternalism?
To the Editor of The Stal


1t would appear that this is the age
of charity and paternalism. If that
rugged individualist. Abraham Lincoln,
had been boy today, the chances are
that kindly Government would have
furnished Lincoln's father with a good
floor for his cabin, some civic club would
have supplied the young man with a
reading lamp while another would Ger
tainly furnish him with a set of good
books. Federal officers would see to it
that he did not go to work until he was
16 years of age and that then he must
not break the law by accepting anything
less than the established minimum wage
and furthermore that he must not work
more than a maximum limit of hours.
He would doubtless be regimented into
some organization wherein any tendency
to rugged individualism would be
smoothed off into conventional regu-
larity. The youth movement would then
be ready to take him in charge and
would push him through college at gov
ernmental expense. In short there would
be no Abraham Lincoln

Dear Sir-We and pair Of robins are
mourning today for four beautiful blue
eggs, and are hoping that you can help
us solve the mystery of their disappear
ance.
"A pair Of robins built their nest be-
hind the easement window hinge Of our
bathroom window, and we felt that 1t
was in such a safe place as 1t was pro-
tected from rain and hail (hail broke the
eggs in a nest near the window last
year,.
"The robin had been sitting on the
eggs for several days and was on them
last night when we went to bed at 1920,
but this morning at $50 the eggs were
gone, and I had been awake for some
time and heard no commotion such as I
would have expected If jays or some
other bird had attacked after daylight.
However, it seems impossible that
anything could have gotten at the nest
during the night since the window Is
two and a half stories Of sheer brick
walls above the ground.
There is no dense shrubbery around
our place and the branches of large
oak have been cut away SO that there
are none within 18 inches of the window,
SO snakes are not suspected, and we have
not seen any squirrels around for some
time, though we used to feed them
around the porch near the window last
winter.
There is only one small piece of egg
shell left in the nest and nothing on the
ground which makes us doubt whether it
could have been other birds. Can you
help us?
use the nest again, and if SO, how could
we protect the nest?
1--WE are wondering whether we could
put up heavy screen of branches around
the nest to hide it-this in case it was
some other bird-or would the change
in appearance of the surroundings
frighten the robins away?
Il think the mourning of the foster
parents is greater than that of the par
entS, though they sat on the edge of the
nest this morning with such mournful
peeps If you can give us any advice
which will help us in case the robins give
us another chance, we will appreciate it.
I'VE enjoy your daily chats in The
Star on This and That" so much,
especially your bird and nature articles.
Yours sincerely, c. L. D."
"P. S-We had wandering Jew in our
rock garden last year, and the other day
discovered that several sprays had over
wintered. Is this usual? The plants
were on a southwest bank and must have
been quite exposed as we couldn't keep
mulching the bank"

Proximity of the tree branches to the
nest must make squirrels suspect.
1t must never be forgotten that 10

TonsoriuI MAYHEM

A youth of New Britain in prepara-
ton for a dance decided to give the
girls a treat by getting a haircut, and
inadvertently trusted himself to the
tender mercies of a barber who cut
not wisely but too well. At the con-
clusion of the obsequies, the young
man took one Mortified look at the
mirror and mournfully decided that
no girl in her right mind would risk
being seen with him. Gloomily he
reflected that his appearance cried
aloud for striped suit with a num-
ber on it, as the only costume ap-
propriate to his haircut. Scratching
the dance from his program of &C
tivities, he undertook to steal acces-
Sories from parked automobiles,
which resulted in prompt arrest and
arraignment before judge.
His honor, upon listening to the
tale of woe, recognized that it might
be better for the defendants peace
of mind if he were retired from cir
culation until Time, the great healer,
had chance to get in some construc-
tive work on his denuded poll. He
therefore mercifully gave this vic
tim of barberlSm prescription for
hair tonic, along with an opportu-
nifty to use it in the secluded cloisters
Of the city JAIL where he is now
undergoing hair-raising experience.
This case serves to bring into prom
inence the matter of tonsorial may
hem, an officially unrecognized tort.
At least, no grand jury to date has
indicted a barber for it, but that may
easily be because there has never yet
been any citizen public spirited
enough to ask for said indictment.
Those willing to bet that it could not
be secured are advised not to lay
more than eight to five against, as
without exception each and every
grand juror has suffered from such
malpractice and been compelled to
slink up dark alleys for week or so.
Now that it has been shown to be a
contributory cause to life of crime,
it would seem to be up to the board
of trustees, alumni and faculty of
all barber colleges to tighten up on
the curriculum and not pass out
diplomas indiscriminately to the en-
tire student body.

Rotterdam, Stockholm, Helsingfors
and Edinburgh, with several full days
to be spent at each of the ports. In
stead of crossing the ocean, the boys
will be taken on a training cruise
closer to home ports, and indications
are that an inspection of the Worlds
Fair at New York will be included in
the program.
BY keeping the Atlantic squadron
intact, the full force of this arm of
national defense can be exercised in
any emergency with a minimum of
confusion and delay. Moreover, a
show of American naval force on the
other side of the Atlantic at this time
might complicate the desperate
efforts being made to preserve the
peace of Europe and of the world
However routine the expedition, there
are totalitarian propagandists who
would not hesitate to distort the
purpose of the trip in an effort to
discredit the democracies. Herr
GoebbelS might find it convenient to
picture the excursion as a planned
attempt to intimidate the dictators
and as proof that the United States,
not Germany, is an aggressor. With
another crisis confronting the world,
it is wise to avoid any unnecessary
gesture that might upset the apple
cart Of peace.

Public Urged to Study
Anti-Alien Bills.

To the Editor Of The Star:
There are pending in Congress today
some 60 "anti-alien" bills. Most of them
are based upon type of chauvinism
which is utterly alien to the spirit of
Americanism as expressed by our ira
dition as haven of refuge for the
prosecuted.
I realize that this haven of refuge
talk is not only trite in this day and age,
but is even considered naive and un-
realistic. If SO, that is an American
tragedy of proportions not even dreamed
of by Theodore Dresser. But one thing
is not trite and not unrealistic, and that
is the very real contributions that immi-
grants have made to America ever since
the first boatload of immigrants arrived
via the MayfoWer. They have built
our railroads, made us first in steel pro-
duction, packed our meat and titled our
farms, and they have also been in the
lead in business, finance and all the
arts. If we close our doors to them now
we are cutting off an important source
of our national nourishment.
The "anti-alien" bills now before Con-
gress would not only do that, but they
also seek to persecute and drive away
those "alienS" who are already here I
am not writing this letter to discuss those
bills. but to plead with Washingtonians,
so overwhelmingly many of whom read
The Star, to take an interest in these
bills, to learn what they are all about
and then to express themselves as Amer
leans to Congress.
An opportunity to acquire such in
formation will be granted to Washing
tonians Saturday and Sunday, May 13
and IA, at the Raleigh Hotel, where a
national emergency conference will be
held on this very subject. National fig
ures will discuss the whole problem and
what to do about it, and the meetings
will be open to the public.
1t Is by public indifference to just such
questions that fascistic and reactionary
forces make headway even in our own
beloved country and it is by constant
interest and participation in such con-
ferences as the one this coming week end
that our traditional ideals of freedom
and democracy are upheld. The public
holds the answer.

Congressional Economy

The action OF the Senate ApprOprt-
ationS Committee in voting an in
crease of $338,OOO,OOO in the Agricul-
ture Department supply bill, a pro-
posed additional expense which pre-
sumably would be met by more gov
ernmental borrowing, lends a ridicu-
louS tone to talk of congressional
economy. If put through in it's pres
ent form, this one bill would boost
expenses by more than three times
the amount economy advocates have
pared from other appropriations.
This additional farm appropriation
is designed to finance parity pay
ments for agricultural products and
distribution Of crop surpluses. In
other words, the Senate Committee
is contemplating another subsidy to
the already well-subsidized farmers,
despite the fact that this particular
committee includes several Senators
who have roundly criticized the New
Deals policy of spending in excess of
its income.
No record committee vote on the
increase was taken, but Senator Rus
sell of Georgia, chairman of the sub
committee which considered the bill,
said the full committee voted over
Whelmingly'' in favor of the addi-
tional funds, and there has not as yet
been any public protest from any
member of the committee against the
added items. This is odd, to say the
least, in view of the fact that several
of the members were leaders in the
fight which resulted in reducing the
deficiency w. P. A. appropriation by
$5O,OOO,0OO.
Some encouragement is to be de-
rived from the fact that the parity
payments plan was defeated in the
House before the Senate group acted.
Perhaps the Senate will not indorse
the generosity of its Appropriation
Committee, and even if it should
approve the whole amount there is
still a chance that the House may
adhere to its original position.
In any event, the Congress should
understand it is faced with the neces-
Sity of deciding whether congress
sional economy is to become reality
or painful joke.

common sense, a little spirit Of CO.
operation on the part of the author
tiles involved. The ridiculous situa-
ton concerning the barbecue stand
can and should be solved now. It
would have to be solved if the place
became the scene of a major crime.
The facts that have been revealed
emphasize the need for furtherance
of the move started at a conference
a few weeks ago to bring about really
effective cooperation between the
various police agencies operating in
Washington and vicinity.

Virginia No Mans Land

Another mo mans land" so far
as police are concerned has come to
light in nearby Virginia. 1t consists
of barbecue stand just south of the
Highway Bridge in an area that for
years has been involved in the Dis
trict of Columbia Virginia boundary
dispute.
Each police department which
might have jurisdiction has refused
to answer calls at the barbecue for
reasons that satisfy the police but fail
to safeguard the public. The Arling-
ton commemorative attorney has
instructed county officers not to con-
slider the establishment within their
jurisdiction pending the outcome of
a suit filed in the District Court by
the owner in an effort to restrain
Virginia police from enforcing alco-
holic beverage control regulations.
Metropolitan police and park police
also have claimed the place is not
within their jurisdiction.
The irritating question of jurisdic-
ton has arisen before in the Wash
ington area. It was a factor in the
Mary Baker case because the murder
victims body was found in disputed
territory along Arlington Ridge road.
It arose again in the mysterious
death of a Washington man aboard
a Norfolk boat. 1t is involved also
in the operation of the numbers
racket, partly in Washington and
partly in Maryland.
Each time it arises the only thing
needed is the application of q little
