PerombuIuting Thoughts

Four mothers in England recently
were fined in blackout for failure
to keep the taillights lit on peram-
oulators in which they were wheeling
their offspring.
1t Is only fair that such inventions
as the radio, the automobile and the
mstallment plan be made available
to modern youngsters, even though
their parents, ,at the same age, had
to be content with such crude make
shifts as the phonograph, the horse,
and cash on the line.
1t was not, however, until 1889
that mankind reached its peak and
eclipSed all previous years in its
efforts to make the world a safer.
better place for babies. Civilization
has produced for them boons un-
dreamed of few years ago; not only
taillights on their carriages during
blackouts, but various useful devices
such as the gas mask, and another
handy trick which keeps the cradle
from being rocked too violently-the
bombproof shelter.

HitIer's DeIusion

If, before he sent his army smash

and Luxembourg, Adolf Hitler labored
under the delusion that the in
struments of his "blitzkrieg" tech
nique would be able to shatter
Dutch and Belgian resistance be-
fore effective allied aid could be
. brought to bear, he must be having
misgivings. Neither German planes,
parachute troops nor fifth column"
elements have succeeded in giving
Germany more than a precarious
foothold within Dutch and Belgian
borders, along the frontiers and at
isolated strategic points within the
countries.
Germany is landing more and
more parachute troops to reinforce
those already In the rear of the de-
Tending armies, but their effective
ness has yet to be proved. They have
not been able, apparently, to retain
hold Of the vital airports which they
first seized with the assistance Of
their bombing planes; and, If Dutch
claims are to be believed, even the
Germans threatening Rotterdam
aave been driven away. This was the
last Of the airdromes seized by the
Nazis in their initial attacks.
s Not only has the threat to inner
defenses been met, but the Dutch
and Belgian armies, aided by their
water barriers, have slowed down
the German drive and succeeded in
establishing battle lines, for the re-
enforcement Of which British and
French troops are already speeding

The Safety Patrol

Constitution avenue yesterday
echoed to the beat of 10000 pairs of
feet, representing 100000 or more
young citizens who devote several
hours week throughout the school
year to protecting the lives of their
playmates. For the ninth successive
year this demonstration has called
attention to one of the Nations most
potent safety movements, as evi-
denced by the steadily declining toll
of accidents resulting in injury or
death to children between the ages
Of five and fifteen. This group, ac-
cording to national and local sta
tistics, has the lowest accident ratio
in the population.
Again this year the parade had its
honor section composed Of boys who,
at the risk of their own lives, had
saved others in traffic. In such cases
the factors Of age and relative ma
turity increase rather than minimize
the Importance Of the acts so hon
ored.
Far more than the mere patrolling
OF school crossings, the safety pa

ity OF the children affected. It's

Of cooperation rather than upon
coercion. And its methods Of using

School Budget

Washington should be grateful to
Senator Overton's Appropriations
Subcommittee for its intelligent
handling of the school budget.
Should the bill become law-which
means should the Senate approve it
tomorrow and the conference with
the House leave it unchanged-a pro-
gressive building development and
educational program may be ex-
pected during the next few years.
Since it becomes apparent that the
school replacement program will not
involve deficit during the coming
year, 1t is well that the committee
provided for start on this develop
ment. Schools to be replaced are
located in general in communities
where land sites are rapidly disap-
pearing or increasing in value and
an early purchase is desirable in the
interest of the taxpayers.
There Is virtual unanimity among
the powerful civic groups on the de-
STABILITY of new teachers college
and that it should be at Thirteenth
and Upshur streets. In agreeing to
this and to the erection of the new
Abbot Vocational School on a site
in Brentwood Park, the committee is
yielding to the majority of civic
sentiment and educational opinion.
The Star has contended from the
day the budget was reported to the
House that the education Of handi-
capped children was an educational
and not welfare project, and prop
erly belongs under the School Board.
An increased appropriation item in
serted by the Senators will enable the
schools to take over the work on
about the same scale as that on
which the Work Projects Administra-
tion operated it during the past two
years.
An automobile driver training
course fund which was added to the
bill will enable expansion of an ex-
pertinent tried successfully at the
Abbot Vocational School during the
past year in teaching youth how to
operate automobiles safely. This
should pay dividends when the grad
yates of the course become car
operators in the District.

REALITY IN WORSHIP
By the Right Rep. james e. Freeman D. D. L. D. D. c. L.
Btshop OF Washington

In his admirable book, "The Return
to Religion" Prof. Link, in the first
chapter, speaks Of the reluctance he felt
to 90 back to habits Of worship, because
Of his dissatisfaction with the ways and
practices Of the average Church. He
speaks OF the Sunday morning indulg-
ences which he greatly cherished, his
lack Of sympathy with many of the
forms and appeals which the Church
stresses. yet despite these long-held OBJ
jecttons to corporate worship, he felt
the urge to join his friends and neigh
bors IN renewed attendance at Church.
The frankness with which he discusses
the whole subject indicates, the SINGER
ity Of his purpose and the justification
Of his changed habits.
Recently in Camden, N. j., through the
leadership Of the secular press of that
city, mass meeting was held, its slogan
being, Back to the Church." On a
rainy evening the largest hall In the city
witnessed capacity audience of over
5000, with all the Protestant churches
represented by their clergy and people.
The press in speaking of it said 1t was
the largest and most representative
gathering that had ever assembled in
Camden and gave it front-page distinc-
tion in its daily papers.
What is the significance of this? Is it
that men and women are beginning to
give more serious heed to the place that
religion and worship occupy in the econ
omy Of life? Are they beginning, under
the pressure of tragic world events, to
turn again to ways and practices that
they have either forgotten or aban-
doned? A great Russian writer has
maintained that man cannot stand up
against his own loneliness and his sense
of moral dereliction."
Every now and again in life we review
habits and usages that for the while
have passed into disuse. Some event,
some personality, some experience of
early days revives memories and old I'M
pulses are freshened and renewed and
we revise our judgments and return to
places that have grown strange to us.
This was largely DR.. Links experience and
resulted in his book. The primary pur-
pose of the Christian Church is fresh
ened stimulation of the spiritual nature,

resident In each one Of us, through wor.
ship. The highest ideal Of q we'll ordered
Church is to make It's worship 30 fine
and reverent and stimulating that 1t in
spires men and women to better, nobier
living. Preaching has its essential and
important place, but If 1t Is not sustained
by an orderly, finely conceived act Of
worship, it largely fails of its high pur-
pose. We may forget sermons, we can
not forget the refining and stirring i'm
pulses that proceed from a service in
which with friends and neighbors we are
lifted to higher levels of thinking and
living.
Some years ago at the beginning Of
the World War, we attended service in
st. Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh, where
the famous Black Watch" was present
before going to France to experience a
baptism Of fire. We do not recall the
sermon Of the occasion, but we can
never forget the thrill of joining with
these fine Scotch lads In worship that
was made the more real by the exigencies
of that critical hour We became a part
of the splendid military body, we felt
the call of comradeship that effaced
all distinctions and made us one before
the throne Of common Father. There
is one place In life where all distinc-
tions are leveled and that is where men
pray and praise together. Here is the
place where democratic ideals have their
truest and finest exemplifcation. Broad
cloth or homespun, culture or ignorance,
wealth or poverty can have no preferred
place where men and women meet to
worship God who is mo respecter of
persons" We may have our forums and
our town meetings for the discussion of
controversial questions, we have but one
place where the differences and conten-
tions Of life are silenced and We coalesce
under the spell of worship. Yes, more
than an eloquent discourse and the profit
1t affords, 1t is in the place
"Where spirits blend
And friend holds fellowship with friend"
that We get finer Interpretation Of
reality, a better understanding of the
meaning and purpose of life. Corporate
worship in which we reverently engage is
indispensable to reverent, wholesome
living.

bourg are In battle with the French
who advanced through Belgium. East
of the Moselle River, which forms
Luxembourg's eastern border, Ger
man division-about $4,000 men
has launched a direct assault on ad-
vance positions Of the Maginot Line,
where, according to French asser-
tions, they have been repulsed. The
first large-scale French German
battle may develop in one of these
sectors.
Whether the Germans intend to
attempt to smash through the Magi-
not Line east of Luxembourg is not
yet clear, although 1t is more likely
that German pressure is being exert
ed at this point to divert French
troops from the Holland Belgium
front, where the success of the Ger
man invasion depends upon speedy
penetration to the coastal ports. It
is doubtful whether Hitler desires to
invade France, any way, for such an
effort would be extremely costly in
men and war materials; and even if
France could be defeated on land,
Germany would face at the end of
that campaign the necessity of deal
ing with England.
The object of German hatred now
is England, and it is to acquire the
coastal ports from which to attack
Britain by sea and air that Hitler
has attacked the Low Countries.
Even without engaging in fool
hardy attack on the Maginot Line,
Der Fuehrer will pay dearly for what
ever foothold he obtains in the two
little kingdoms.

ChurchiII's Cabinet

,. Fortlned by the Laborite and Lib
eral elements which before the war
stood with him against Neville
Ghamberlain's foreign policies and
which since the war have pressed for
an ever more intensive effort to de-
feat Germany, Winston Churchill, in
organizing his cabinet, has taken to
himself virtually supreme war COM
smand, correcting tragic lack of
coordination hitherto between land,
sea and air arms.
Mr. Churchill, in addition to being
Prime Minister, also will be minister
OF defense, and in that capacity will
be supervisor of all the war services.
AS head of the war cabinet his
voice will be raised loudest in for
mulating the broad lines of STRAIT
egy. With him in the war cabinet
will be Mr.. Chamberlain as lord
president of the council, Clement r.
Attlee, bitter Laborite critic OF the
former Prime Minister, as lord privy
seal; Lord Halifax as foreign min
lister, and Arthur Greenwood, an
other Laborite, as minister without
portfolio.
. Significant of MIR. Churchill's su-
premacy as far as fighting the war
is concerned is the fact that the
armed services will have representa-
tives in the regular cabinet, but these
ministers will not be members of the
special war cabinet. A. Y. Alexander
rs first lord of the Admiralty, Anthony
Eden as war minister and Sir Archi-
bald Sinclair as air minister appa-
rently will have charge of their re-
spective branches only as they per-
tain to executing the decisions of
the war cabinet and Mr.. Churchill
himself. From political standpoint,
the formation of national cabinet
OF members from both the Labor and
Liberal parties will go far toward
obviating the constant pickering and
dissension within the House of Com
mons and toward creating that unity
behind Mr.. Churchill which is essen
tial to successful conduct of the war.
In his key position the new Prime
Minister'S enthusiasm and daring
will be leavened by the presence
within his war cabinet of Mr.. Cham
berlain and Lord Halifax, who was
Mr.. Chamberlain's foreign minister.
The addition of Mr.. Attlee and Mr..
Greenwood to the war cabinet brings
these former opposition leaders into
positions of direct responsibility for
war decisions.
Mr.. Churchill now has his chance
to inaugurate all those policies for
which he has vigorously contended
In warning Britain of the menace
from beyond the Rhine. One OF his
major tasks will be to strive to rem
edy the deficiency in the air which
he has admitted was to blame for the
failure in Norway. If air power was
necessary for successful campaign
In Norway, 1t is doubly necessary for
the successful defense of Britain her
self, now that Germany has thrown
down the gage by invading Holland
and Belgium.
