Commissioner Allen and Senator
Reynolds, Democrat, of North Caro-
lima, stopped swapping opinions on
the proposal to legalize horse racing
in the District long enough today
to swing little horse deal between
themselves.
Mr.. Allen and Commissioner
Hazen admitted before a Senate
subcommittee that they both owned
race horses and sometimes attended
the races, but stuck by their con-
tention that the District is no place
for a track on the ground that pub
lie sentiment in Washington is
against it.
No sentiment, however, was ap-
parent when Mr.. Allen offered to
give his racer Worthowning to Sem
ator Reynolds, sponsor of the racing
bill, and the Senator promptly took
him up.
The committee room was thrown
into constant laughter by the rapid
fire barrage of repartee between
Mr.. Allen and the Senator, and as
the Commixsioner left the roam
Senator Reynolds caIled u him:

understood to have been the GEN.
tral thesis of the first talk today

foreign minister.
Moreover, Foreign Minister Joac-

to have told Undersecretary of State

dominance is ended, Germany is un-
ready to entertain Secretary Hull's
ideas concerning elimination of
autarchy, regimentation and totali-
tarianism from the postwar eco
nomic world.
Sources in Won Ribbentrop's con-
fidence developed this idea so
strongly to this correspondent that
there can be little doubt that Rib
bentrop himself gave this line of
talk to Mr.. 'Welles, with whom he
was closeted soon after the Amer

: The talk began at noon and lasted
until 2:30 pm, after which Mr..

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. ...-
LONDON, March british de-
tention of German coal exports to
italy will begin at midnight tonight,
it was disclosed authoritatively to-
day.
Sources close to the ministry of
economic warfare emphasized, how
ever, that it was mot in any way
reprisal for the temporary diff
culties which have arisen in British
Italian commercial and financial
talks in Rome"
Several Italian ships now are in
Rotterdam, the Netherlands, loading
German coal and unless they sail
by midnight they will be detained
by the British.
100000 Tons Yearly Shipped.
The usual route of German coal
exports to Italy is down the Rhine
to Rotterdam, thence to Genoa by
ship. The sea-borne traffic amounts
to about 100000 tons a year and
between 100000 and 100000 tons
more move by land.
Circles close to the foreign Office
and the ministry of economic war
fare shortly emphasized that the
italian government had been warned
that German coal exports to Italy
should be subjected to export con-
troll shortly after the order-in-
council for the two-way blockade was
signed last November 27.
Informed British sources said that
interrupted war trade negotiations
with Italy were continuing and that
the coal ban might be lifted. Dur
ing the weeks of negotiations, Brit
ain had allowed Italy to import Ger
man coal.
Snag Laid to italy.
The snag which resulted in the
stoppage was said unomcially to
have been Italy's refusal to supply
Britain with products of her heavy
industries. In some quarters it was
believed that Italy had declined
British offer to buy Italian arms and
sell Italy more coal.
The British decision to clamp
down on German coal deliveries to
Italy is in line with her blockade
policy, which few months ago was

MODESTY
(Tablet)

The first Of all virtues, wrote AL
lison, is innocence; the next is
modesty. II we Danish modesty
from the world, she carries with
her half the virtue that is in it.
And modesty, once banished-said
Publius Syrus - never returns to
favour. Critics Of our age, and par
ticularly of our youth, are prone
to deplore the wane OF modesty.
Perhaps its crimson glow which
gives new luster to the charm Of
youth is indeed ARE in this day of
sophistication and frankness, for,
as Burke maintained, modesty does
not long survive innocence. But if
the grace and blush of innocent
modesty has gone, have we not in
its place the sort of modesty that
Shakespeare called the beacon of
the wise? In the brilliant achieve
ments OF modern youth, in their
feats of mind and body, are we
not constantly reminded of Sir Will
liam Gilbert's lines: Wherever val
or true is found, true modesty will
there abound? And when, in the
worlds history, has arrogance-the
antithesis Of modesty-ever been
so utterly despised Is it is today?
Goldsmith held that modesty sci.
dom resides in a breast that is not
enriched with nobler virtues; and
one Of the French philosophers
tells us that modesty is the chas.
tity- Of merit, the virtue of noble
souls. Surely, then, we can main.
tain faith in an age that deplores
vanity, conceit, egotism and AFRO
gance-an age, to borrow words
from Chaplin, in which modest ex-
preston is a beautiful setting to
the diamond Of talent and genius?
Hafiz likened modesty to the sweet
song bird which no open-cage door
can tempt to flight and in the glor-
ious achievements of the Lone
Eagle-the immortal We-mankind
has learned that modern youth. de-
spite the plants of cynics and pes
|simists, agrees with Lowell in be-
lieving that the wisest man a
ask no more Of Fate than to be
simple, modest, manly and true.
1t was the mighty Napoleon who
once observed that the greatest
ornament Of an illustrious life is
modesty and humility. Study the
personalities of the men and wom-
en- who are contributing the most
to modern civilization, and you will
find a modest doubt concerning
their achievements. And this mod
esty, which is a national trait, finds
expression in the essential sim
pl1city of the memorials erected in
our cemeteries today. Display in
the form OF elaboration and sheer
bulk Of stone are relics of yester-
day. More and more we find the
public taste turning to the quiet
dignity, the modest scale, the -ef;n-
ed individuality of monuments like
the subject here describes"
There are so many different SUBJ
jects, so very many themes we
can follow in getting the appropri.
ate type Of memorial to mark the
resting place of someone who was
near and dear to us. The Carolina
LCut Stone company located at 718
MacRae street, telephone 1880, will
be more than willing to go over
that problem Of yours with you.
You are sure to find satisfaction
and consolation in that which is
most appropriate.
