Justice.
In these circumstances, 1t is easv
to understand the reluctance of
Arlington County police to apply to
the assistant trial justice for search
warrants against suspected gamblers
who might retain him as defense
counsel If they should be arrested.
No matter how high the integrity Of
the official in question, the system to
which he Is a party can serve only to
defeat the proper administration of
justice In the county. 1t is to be
hoped that the trial justice and his
assistant will recognize the thor
oughly undesirable character of their
present method Of procedure, and
that they will correct it Of their own
volition. If not, the appropriate
county officials, in the interest of
effective law enforcement, should use
every means at their disposal to
bring about a satisfactory adjustment
Of what can only be described as an
intolerable situation.

About Face

Senator La FolletteS unabashed
about face on the third-term issue
will prove unpalatable even to the
most ardent admirers Of the Wis
consin legislator.
1t was he who led the fight in
February, 1923, against the effort to
draft President Coolidge for another
term. AS result of his able efforts
the Senate approved a resolution
declaring it to be the sense Of that
body that no President should serve
more than two terms. This resolu-
ton, after tracing the term
tradition back to George Washington,
concluded with the ringing senti-
ment that any departure from this
time-honored custom, or, in other
words, third term for any President,
would be "unwise, unpatriotic and
fraught with peril to our free insti-
tutions"
But as OF today, the Senator from
Wisconsin has changed his mind,
and done rather thorough Job of
it. The resolution which he fathered
is dismissed as product of the days
OF the false prosperity of President
Coolidge" The Senator has searched
his mind and heart" and now con-
cludeS that, on the record, the
American way of life has the better
opportunity of working out its
destiny in the next four years under
the administration of Franklin D.
Roosevelt"
The conflict Of sentiment is ir-
reconcilable. 1t can only be added
that Senator La Toilette, as we'll as
the President, is running for re-
election

Justice in Arlington

The condition in the Arlington
County Trial Justice Court disclosed
last week by County Board Member
Edmund D. Campbell is one which
calls for immediate rectification.
According to Mr.. Campbell's state
ment to the County Board, the assist
ant trial justice is appointed by the
regularly elected trial justice and
paid from county funds for his serv-
ices on the bench. During the past
six months, it is asserted, this assist
ant has represented as counsel the
great majority of gambling law
violators who retained attorneys, and
in his capacity as defense lawyer, he
appeared before the trial justice who
had appointed him as his assistant.
And in some cases, according to
Board Member Campbell, the assist
ant trial justice, while acting in his
judicial capacity, fixed bond for &C.

The Burmu Road

In mid-July, because Of war pres
sure at home and her exigencies in
the Far East, Great Britain acceded
to Japan's demand for closing of the
Burma road 1t was agreed to shut
of for ninety days the only remain
ing route by which China can obtain
overseas sinews of war.
1t was gratifying to the American
people, especially in the light of late
international developments - the
-Italian-Japanese alliance,
in particular-to note London re-
ports that Britain will reopen the
Burma road this month, thus again
bulwarking China's resistance of the
invaders whom she has held at bay
for more than three years. If the
plan materializes, it will betoken
that the British feel they have re-
covered their freedom Of action in
the Far East. 1t will be evidence to
all concerned that the conquest Of
Britain is still far from an accom-
plished fact.
While the United States paramount
interest continues to be undimin-
ished support of the British, we have
just indicated, by granting China an
additional credit of $25 100000, that
we are deeply concerned, too, in sus-
tanning her struggle against con-
quest. The more heavily Japan is
involved in China, the less free are
the islanders to embark upon ag-
erosion elsewhere and disrupt that
status quo in the Pacific, to the
preservation Of which this country
Is firmly committed.
1t was only last Saturday that
Undersecretary Welles, speaking of
American Requirements" in the
Orient, emphasized our aims ito as
sist nations whose continued indie
pendence and integrity contribute
toward the maintenance of peace.
Nor is the Foreign Policy Associa-
ton wide of the mark in stating that
China stands out more clearly than
ever as the major ally, the first line
OF defense, Of the western powers in
Asia. Successful defense of their po-
sitions in that region may we'll turn
on the ability of these powers to find
means of extending effective assist
ance to China"
At the moment, reopening of the
Burma road is the most potent aid
the western nations can give China.
When her last link with the West
was severed, Secretary Hull deplored
"unwarranted interposition of OBJ
StacleS in world trade" He added
that the United States Government
"has legitimate interest in keeping
open arteries of commerce in every
part of the globe" Thus, for a va
riety of reasons, one form of reply
which our British friends seem to be
making to the new totalitarian alli-
ance-to restore the Burma road to
China's uSeS-is assured of hearty
commentator by this Government
and people,

Fireproof

The British butler as depicted by
P. G. Wodehouse is the real boss Of
the household, exercising kind and
polite, but firm supervision over it,
ever alert to quell with his basiliscine
eye any symptoms of mutiny on the
part of his employers. Once he has
fastened his tentacles on q family
they might as well give up and make
the best of it for the rest of their
lives.
1t now develops that this super
being may exist in fact as we'll as
fancy. Such at any rate is the opin-
ion of one Mrs. Cox of Brentford,
England, who has tried in vain for a
year to get rid of James Hunt, the
fireproof servant. When he is dis
charged he does not depart; he SIM
ply says, eyes, madam, certainly,
madam remains. Apparently
stopping his pay has no effect, as
suming that the lady ever got up
enough courage to do it. Friends,
appealed to in the crisis, have failed
her. "Ask us anything else" they
say. "We will face bombs for you,
but not a British butler" Even the
courts are powerless, as a magistrate
told Mrs. Cox when she turned to the
law for help.
Will somebody please explain how
Hitler ever expects to invade Britain,
when even the buffers are so tough
that the entire machinery of the
empire cannot dislodge them?

Colonel Hurrinqton

The Army and the public service
have lost an outstanding officer and
administrator and his friends have
lost the companionship of a lovable
gentleman In the death of Colonel
Francis c. Harrington. Since his
graduation from the United States
Military Academy as second man in
his class of 1909, he had served the
Corps of Engineers with distinction
in the posts to which he was assigned
But official Washington will remem-
Der him for his quiet, soldierly and
efficient conduct of the often tangled
affairs of the Works Progress Admin
istration.
To many Of those who knew him,
Colonel Harrington typified the ideal
public servant. A man of great
personal charm, he had disciplined
himself to approach any task with
an objective detachment which is
so essential, but often lacking, in the
administration of public affairs. He
was one of the officers of the Corps
of Engineers called into civil service
by the President, who assigned him
to assist Harry Hopkins in the Works
Progress Administration. When Mr..
Hopkins resigned, after a period in
which the w. P. A. had been bitterly
attacked for the place it had as
sumed in the political picture, he
became administrator. And while
the attacks never ceased altogether,
they diminished and Colonel Har-
rington's name and reputation re-
manned untouched.
He was no politician. He cared
nothing for personal publicity. He
was fair and honest with the benefi-
Charles of relief and with the public
to which he felt himself accountable.
He was a credit to the ideals and
training of the Army. Men of his
type are hard to replace.

"IONGFELLOW STREET.

Dear Slr.
II always read This and That in the
paper, and was very interested in the
article about the white robin.
"On June n last year. while eating
my breakfast, looked out and saw
pure white bird taking a bath.
II Immediately went out and stood
within 6 feet of the bird bath. He.
finished his bath and flew down into
the yard.
IT called my neighbor, also q young
man passing, and they were as surprised
as myself. He came back both the
18th and 29th, then I did not see him
until July 20, when he was in the yard
for a couple of hours.
ION September IS ne was back with
q large flock Of robins, and each day up
to September 81.
IT have looked all this summer for
his return but have not seen him,
although I saw couple with quite
a bit of white In them.
II really feel proud to have seen one,
as they are so rare.
Sincerely, G. L."
~ +
Robin migration is just about begin
ming
From now on until about the middle
of October, bands of robins will light
in back yards on their way South.
Many of these bands will come from
Far North.
This is one of the most interesting
sights in local birdland but many OBJ
servers miss it entirely because they are
not at home at the right time.
Then, too, it may be supposed that
there is nothing automatic about these
bands, in groups of from a dozen to fifty
birds.
Not every single back yard will have
a band drop down, by any means.
The usual time for these visits seems
to be from 3 to 4 o'clock in the after
noon.
Just why this time Is selected We
do not know But many reports have
come in of this phenomenon and they
all agree Perhaps not every one knows
that the faithful robin migrates in
groups.
The popular picture is of pair flying
North in the early spring In reality
they come here in groups, sometimes as
many as 100 together.
These bands also fly down in the
middle of the afternoon, then wander
away one at time, until the group is
broken up.
In the fall, the bands stay together.
They probably remain together until
they reach their ultimate destination
in the Southern States.
This is an interesting habit in bird
which mostly goes it alone.
The grouping is for the purpose of
finding food, based on the fact that
what one bird finds can be seen by the
others.
Hence the moment one robin spots food

below, the rest fly down with 1t, and
thus all get some. on the long trips.
Aside from these migration flights,
the robin is a lonesome bird. usually
not more than two pairs being seen in
any one neighborhood
A robin is such conspicuous fellow
that one can make a very great i'm
preston.
When an observer looks out and sees
one every time he does so, he Is likely
to think that he is seeing many robins,
when all the time he is looking at the
very same one.
A great deal of the red color, or rusty
orange color, goes out of the robin
at this time of year.
He does not seem as fat and healthy,
either.
No doubt some superficial observers
do not recognize the bands which fly
down in the early october afternoons
as being composed of robins.
But they are robins, all right, and
will convince any one shortly of the
fact, for they will Immediately spread
out, in an almost military formation,
over the grass, looking for worms
The attitude of a robin looking for
worm is unmistakable. No other bird
does it in exactly the same way. There
is that eager look downward, that
steady gaze and that firm stance, as il
reaches down and then yanks for
ward. Even a beginner at bird obServa-
ton could know robin by these mo-
tons.
BY the time the last of these robin
bands fly through, autumn will be
really here.
The leaves will be changed, reds and
yellows replacing the green We had
with us so long; many of the yellow
leaves will be over the lawns and side
walks and in the streets.
There will be something wholesome
in the sight of the robins in their last
appearance until next spring.
Surely there is no other bird accepted
so complacently by most persons, almost
without thought, yet which manages to
have such a hold on our affections.
1t is bird which is becoming less and
less frequent in local gardens, We be-
lieve, despite the protection now given
it in the South, where the great annual
| landings together take place after the
first of the year.
Many local gardens, especially in the
suburbs, have more wood thrushes than
they do robins.
Many yards which have dozen or
more species nesting at time, never
have robin nest from one years end
to another.
This must be accounted loss. A robip
is nice bird to have around, with good
habits, and friendly to other birds.
Robins always remind us of New
foundland dogs, large, comfortable
homelike in every way. Titmice art
terriers, bluejays are bulldogs, but the
robin is big Cog, nothing less than the
Newfoundland or st. Bernard.

sunshine of human kindness into the
unutterable loneliness of the schizo-
phrenic.
One of her outstanding works in
America was the portrait of girl COM
ing out of metrazol shock. A common
symptom shortly after this drug is
administered, say psychiatrists, is the
expression of extreme terror on the
faces of the already unconscious
patients. They have gone into realm
of fear of which there can be no COM
prehension. Mercifully they have no
memory of it, but the expression is still
on their faces when they emerge into
the world of consciousness again. 1t
was this which DR.. Jacob tried to catch.
She herself, at first was afraid Of

Blake to illustrate "Dantes Inferno" is

Finally, there is the matter Of
credits. Sooner or later, II the Brit
ish can keep fighting, that question
will have to be faced. At this time
the Johnson Act stands in the way
of the granting by this Government
Of any credits to the British, and 1t
ought to be repealed. Conditions
have changed-drastically changed
since the act was passed. We know
now that the British, whether they
like it or whether we like to believe It,,
are fighting our battle as we'll as
their own, and it would be strange
logic that would supply them with
the means of fighting a Joint cause
as long as they can pay the bill but
which would withhold that assist
ance when their cash is gone.
We face a crisis in our affairs
which demands that we rise above
prejudice and selfishneSs. On that
score, we dare not deceive ourselves.
The robber nations that have COM
blned against us are capable of in

must match them in both respects.
AS Nation, we have been seeking an
Elusive security in peace that does
not exist. But for us, the sands are
running out. We must decide, and
decide now, to throw our whole
weight into the balance with Britain,
or resign ourselves to the ignoble
prospect of living in a world in which
the decisions will be made for us by
ruthless men who were capable of
acting while we fumbled.
