The Architectural Toll
New York Tines

NEW YORK I1meS)
One of the few cheering aspects of the ruin and
tragedy in London is the comparative immunity of
the citys architectural gories. The bombs have
been dumped Unfortunately, yet st. PaulS the
Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, have had miracu-
ous escapes A great fire licked within few yards
of Bow Church and its famous chimes, but the
church saved. BY the law of averages, or by
the help of protecting Providence the brunt of
destruction far has fallen upon buildings of which
London was never proud
The East End slums the river ravaged
by bombs, abomnation of architecture and
town planning; they should have been emptied and
condemned unfit for human habitation long ago.
The dngy warehouses and loft buildings between st.
Pauls and the river, many of them now Quilted by
flames, stood ground where Sir Christopher Wren
had planned a riverside park. They marred the
view of the cathedral and did not even contribute
picturesqueness to the London scene. South Africa
House on Trafalgar Square the most insipid of all
London's public buildings, has been damaged, but
the beautiful st. Martins Church. just across the
street from it, seems to have escaped The dreary
row of department stores along oxford Street had
little architectural quality Fourteenth
Street; it has now been battered and burned, while
the only architectural gem among London stores in
Sloans Square, seems to have been unscathed. 1t
is almost as if secret device had directed the
bombs where not to fall
There have, of course, been losses to beautiful
buildings and there will be others these senseless
night raids go Many Wren churches in the old
City have suffered; the tower of the Inner Temple
Library has been seriously damaged; there is no
telling from the dispatches, how much harm has
been done to the quiet courts of Lncoln's Inn, or
to the peaceful squares which Londons greatest
charm Having been free of physical catastrophes
since the Great Fire of 1866, the London of fort

lis in the world. That melowness may vanish in

TOURING WITH wILLKIE

Wilkes campaign encourage was
disconnected by his mishaps at the
start in Chicago, but they now feel
it was all for the best because he
learned valuable lessons which
should stand him in good stead for
the rest of the battle.
The experience forcibly impressed
on the dynamic COP standard
bearer the desirability of slower
and more dignified pace He con-
cluded his Western tour as far
more effective campaigner. But the
training certainly was obtained the
hard way = not only by Willkie but
by members of his personal staff.
On the first days out on the trip,
relations between Russell c'Mich')
Davenport, former Fortune editor
and Willkie "discoverer," and How
ard Gallagher, in charge of the
trains schedule. become so frigid
that they stopped talking to each
other. Most of the other members
of the encourage also sputtered pri-
vately about Mich.
One reason for this was a $3.50
telephone bill which Davenport ran
up in calls to Chicago John Hol-
lister, former Ohio Congressman and
law partner of Senator Bob Taft

on the tour and was very successful

HIGH SPOTS AND Low SPOTS

AS on all campaign trips, there
were high spots and low spots.
Willkie drew excellent crowds, but
in some places his enthusiastic
boosters were over-zealous in their
predictions.
IN LOS ANGELES, $4,000 turned
out to hear him-a superb showing.
But it was below the 100000 he was
assured would be present. Also, the

The only big screen figure present
was Robert Montgomery, who intro

disappointment to the correspond

Dorothy Lamour, Hedy Lamar and
other glamour girls-but none show

were all for Roosevelt.
After the big Los Angeles recep-
ton Thursday, WILKES staff didn't
have the heart that night to show
him the latest Gallup pool figures.
They let him have peaceful nights

breakfast next morning.

out. But it took some pointed talk

himself
HOLSTER asked barber shaving
him what he thought of Willkie, and
got the reply: IF had been for him
I wouldn't be now. His cuss words
are not the kind of language we like

of the farmer and the laboring man,
but also the great friend of the pub

NOTE: Willkie has changed his
mind about ghost writer's. Several
months ago he lambasted their use,
but his farm speech is largely the
work of Representative Cliff Hope

of the COP agricultural plank. Hope

THE ERA OF RUTHLESSNESS

If anything is clear in the present trend of the
war between Germany and England, it is that both
sides will suffer rightfu loss of civilian life and
property before decision is likely to be reached
The bitzkrieg pattern is based upon uncontested air
power, and that is not the situation which exists
today with the Royal Air Force holding its own so
valorously against the German Luftwaffe.

HULL'S "DASTARDLY" WORD

Following Cordell Hull's press con-
ference in which he characterized
the sinking of the British refugee
ship as "a most dastardly act, -
newsmen asked permission to use
direct quotes. usually not allowed in
State Department practice.
Hull was willing, and his press
officer, Sheldon Thomas, brought
the word to the press room, where
the men were already debating their
stories. Thomas advised each man
in turn, including the German DNB
correspondent, Kurt Sell.

ask you something. What is the
exact meaning of that word 'das-

In Texas, the Farmers and Labor

state convention, May 5. 1917, in
which leaders denounced the Presi-

They urged members to equip them

for resistance to draft officers. Local
officials who denounced them were
marked for death.
The organization was disbanded,
however, when the Justice Depart
ment investigated
Other states where resistance was
offered were North Carolina, Mon

time, took them all in stride.
He has had prodigy's interest in
languages since the age of ten. He
coat-tailed an Older cousin into
teaching him Spanish and went on
from there, studying on the side
through grammar and high school.
Vogenitz has no explanation for his
aptitude.
Il guess it's just one of those
things" he says.
Despite his linguistic ability
Vogenitz never has been abroad. In
fact, his farthest trip from home was
to Kansas. His ancestors on both
sides date back to colonial days.
His mothers people came to Amer
lea in 1910 and his fathers settled
near Allentown, Pa, in 1740.
No foreign language is easy, but
in Vogenitz's opinion anyone should
be able to have language under
complete control" in three years
He admits that he can't speak flu
emily any of the 10 he knows, but he
doesn't consider that essential to
know a language fully. He rates
Spanish easiest to learn and Yugo-
slav the toughest, because tits one

To assist him he has a library of
over 1000 foreign grammars and
lexicons. He also gets number of
foreign papers, and his best enter
tainment is reading comic strips in
them.

Inspection Ordered to
Check Christmas
Labor Violations

Approach of the Christmas
holidays with an attendant sus-
pension in school activities
brought a warning today from
Colonel Philip B. Fleming, ad-
ministrator of the Wage and
Hour Division, and Miss Kath-
arine F. Lenroot, chief of the
Children's bureau, U. S. Depart
ment of Labor, that inspectors
of the division and the bureau
will be on the alert for any evil
dences of violation of the child
labor provisions of the Fair La
Dor standards act.
"Child labor laws will be
strictly enforced" Colonel Elem.
ing said. inspectors are in
structed to observe closely any,
thing resembling a violation of
the child labor law.
Briefly, the Act sets basic
minimum age of 16 years for
employment in interstate indus
tries, and makes provision for
an 18-year minimum age in oc-
cupations found and declared by
Chief of the Cnildren's Bureau
to be especially hazardous to
young workers under 18 years
of age.
The Act permits the employ
ment of children Ia and Is in
occupations not interfering with
school attendance and carried
on in accordance with regulations
of the Children's Bureau.
The labor provisions to not
apply to young worker employ
ed in agriculture while not legal
ly required to attend school; if
he is under 16 and employed by
his parents, in occupations other
than manufacturing or mining.
Employers not familiar with
the general provisions regarding
child labor regulations may OBJ
tain such information from the
Children's Bureau, U. S. Depart
ment of Labor, or from the near
est regional headquarters of the
Wage and Hour division.

DenisOn Fund Over
Top to Help War
Stricken Students

Launching campaign CIls
week on the Denison university
campus to raise $1,000 to help
war-stricken students in China
and Europe, undergraduate lea
ders of the Denison Student Re
lief fund announced that the
drive "went over the top" the
first day as a total of 1882 was
received in pledges. The total
included $138 contribution
from President and Mrs. Ken
meth |. Brown who previously
announced that they would
pledge one dollar for every nine
dollars contributed by students
and faculty.
Reaching out beyond the Den
ison campus to help needy stu
dents in other parts of the coun-
try, student leaders said that all
money raised here would go for
three causes: First, for needy
students in our own country;
second, for Chinese student re-
lief, and third, for relief of stu
dents in War-torn Europe.
