WASHINGTON.-On duty in his
lofty rostrum. Speaker of the
House William B. Bankhead is
stern. efficient. Off duty, he is
lust folKSH-a man who likes to
put on overallS and putter around
in the garden, a collector of odd
items ranging from gavels to pieces
of string, a devoted reader of
detective stories and n solver of
crossword puzzles.
The attic of his home in Jasper,
Ala. is a sort of museum. There
are ranged all sorts of mementos
dozens of gavels which have been
presented to him, walking sticks
that he has acquired. and lucky
pieces of all kinds.
For the Speaker is a mite super
stitious. One Easter Sunday on the
way TO church he ordered his car
stopped so that he could pick up
a rabbits foot he saw by the road
He considered the day especially
lucky because, on his return from
church, he found a buckeye on the
sidewalk. One time, walking with
Mrs. Bankhead, he saw playing
card lying face-down by the curb.
IF its a diamond, it's lucky"
he said picking it up. It was
diamond, and the seven to boot.
Mr.. Bankhead hates TO buy new
clothes and hates to give up his
old ones. At one time the Bank
head home in Jasper was fairly
oyerflowing with old clothing with
which he refused to part.
Mrs. Bankhead solved the prob
lem when a tramp visited the house
during the Speakers absence and
asked for q handout. To the
tramp's amazed delight she outfit
ted him completely from head to
toe with Mr. Bankhead's old suits,
sweaters. hats and overcoats. Then,
to ensure a safe getaway, she drove
him down the road in her car and
got him out of sight before the
Speaker should return.
Mr.. Bankhead makes himself
personally responsible for his COL
lection of string. When a package
is delivered at his home he takes
charge of the string, and will con-
tentedly spend an entire evening
unravelling the complicated and
haphazard knots in it. He usually
reads himself TO sleep with a de-
tective story, and right now is
putting in hours trying to win a
popular crossword puzzle contest.
He would have been an actor
if his father had not objected. The
theatrical success attained by his
famous daughter, Tallulah, is the
pride of his heart. His own the
atrical ambitions find their outlet
when he takes his morning show
er; instead of singing tunelessly,
like most males, he recites Shake
speare.
IN Washington, the Bankheads
occupy a hotel apartment, SO his
passion for gardening is confined
TO his Alabama home. There. dis
reputably dressed, he spends hours
in his garden-and woe TO any
member of the household who bor-
rows and fails TO replace any of
his innumerable garden tools.
He loves horses and horse races.
Equipped with rabbits feet, buck
eyes and other lucky charms, he
can almost Invariably pick a WIN
ner. He is also a football enthus-
last; used to be a University of
Alabama fullback himself. and
can't go to a game even now with
out getting all trembly with ex-
element.
He is also a confirmed and skill
full fisherman. In vacations, he
usually goes up to a Canadian is

Courtesy Pays
The Japanese
BY CHARLES p. STEWART

BY CHARLES L. STEWART
PoliteneSs certainly does pay.
When Japan's recently retired am
haSSador, Hirosi Saito died a short
time age in Washington the United
States government assigned cruls-
e. to take the late diplomats ashes
to his home country. This smallish
act of courtesy evidently touched
Tokyo TO an extent out of all pro-
portion to what might have been
expected The fact is that the tri-
butte was paid not To the Japanese
SO much as TO the former ambas-
sador personally. Japan has not
been overly popular here of late, but
EIiroSi Saito was. AT the time OF
his resignation as the mikado's en-
4oy here gossip was to the effect
that he quit his job largely because
he was out of favor with Nippon's
military clique for being too pro-
American. The cruiser had to be
going somewhere, anyway. 1t cost
no more to dispatch it To Japan
than would have been the price of
ordering it upon any other voyage.
All the same. Secretary OF State
Hull'S suggestion that the juncture
was appropriate for that particular
trip was especially apropoS. Secre-
tary Hull is extraordinarily adept
at such gestures. And even if the
cruise had been money out of
pocket, it would have been cash
more than we'll spent.
They're Appreciative
1t doesn't matter whether or not
the eX-ambaSsador was somewhat
cut of sympathy with his country'S
samurai. They recognize that our
cruisers designation TO return his
remains TO his native land Was Il
mighty nice thing-and they're an
appreciative nation.
Tokyo dispatches forecast tnat
Foreign Minister Hachiro Arita IS
about to send a whole mission TO
Washington TO thank Uncle Sam
for the honor done to the islanders
dead representative.
Generally speaking, as previously
remarked, American relations
have been strained during several
past months. We don't like what
tht Japs have been doing in China.
They've seemed TO threaten our
commercial interests in East Asia.
They've been semi-saSSy in return.
Guam has been a sore subject. So,
for a long time, has been japanese
- 7 oil
west coast.
Dispatching the cruiser has taken
a lot of the ginger out of tie Situa-
ton. It isn't altogether social, eth
er. International political questions
are involved.
Foreign Minister Arita now lis
limiting at a Jap Americana Anglo
Trench conference to consider Ori-
eiltal issues. He implies that Japan
isn't. after all, contemplating line
up with the totalitarian powers.
But essentially it seems to me like
q kind of a Jap-American rap
prochement-based mainly on that
cruisers trip with Hirosi SaitoS
ashes back from the United States
back to Japan. My journalistic col
league. Correspondent Kato of Nj
chi-Nichi OF Japan, thinks so also.
Is Japan Licked?
7 think. indeed, that Japan is
licked in China 1t will win all
battles but will lose the war. The
Japs know it. I'm sure They'd like
to ouit-but Japan can't dc it, and
save its face-a vital consideration
in the Orient.
So Tokyo proposes a Jap-Amefi-
can British French conference in
Chinese problems.

had a chance TO be sociable

THE THlRTY-NINE
EMERGENCIES
(Santa Monica Outlook

Representative Barton of New York
has collected the interesting data which
shows that President Roosevelt in his
messages and speeches since 1888 has
declared 80 special emergencies. This is
at the rate of a new emergency every
eight weeks for six years. It is not
strange that the American people are
beginning to doubt the validity of proc
lamation declaring some new emergency
These figures should make the people
think in regard to public affairs It is
generally recognized that private busi-
ness cannot develop and prosper in an
atmosphere of terror when tumult has
been created Yet to proclaim each new
important event as an emergency exag-
gerates its serious character and devel-
ops in the public mind and in the bust
ness mind apprehensions that are not
justified by the facts.
