 | At some future time MT. kim hopes to return to Alaska and con- tinue to moe isolated portions of the Territory in the north and westward but at this time he ex- poets to go TO further north than Skagway and Haines..
 The Office Of Indian Affairs and other governmental agencies have been most helpful in making his present trip possible, MT. Kim said. In Juneau, he is spending much time at the Territorial Museum and said the collection of Eskimo types painted by Mrs. Nina Crumrine were most interesting.

Wants Women to Study
Art Of Knitting.
TO the Editor Of The Star:

10 Inc AoltOI OIL Inc StAI.
It is with trepidation that I write this
for fear it may act as boomerang.
1t is my habit to ride the public con-
veyances of this city and in the process
Of ambulating to the rear of the vehicle
In my endeavor to locate seat, my eyes
scan both aisles to ascertain how many
women are trying to knit say trying"
for believe that out of 10 women are
unskilled in this art.
My mother and grandmother did not
make such task of it as the majority
Of women nowadays seem to with their
winding OF yarn around the needle before
each stitch is taken, plus the awkward
manner In which the needles are held.
As remember, 1t was just one contin-
uous motion with no hesitancy or abrupt
movements, but rather gliding of
stitches from one needle to the other.
Our women should be commended for
their spirit. Usually the garment Is
being made for some one dear In the
service. But how many of the finished
articles At the intended wearers? Most
fit very poorly and a great many never
are completed. A purchased machine
made garment actually would cost less
and certainly give better At.
If women must knit, time ought to be
taken to learn the art properly. The
time and material put to such use un-
successfully must be considered. Wool Is

should be used In sparing measure and

No Time for Them Now

1t may be wishful thinking to read
into the recent defeat OF Gov.
Eugene Talmadge of Georgia and
the failure OF the Rev. Gerald L. K.
Smith to obtain the senatorial nomi-
nation of Michigan Republicans a
significant trend In the voting senti-
ments of present-day celebrates.
The only significance may be that
a majority Of voters in both States
were tired OF these two particular
candidates and preferred the other
men.
. 1t is worthy OF note, however, that
Gov. Talmadge and Mr.. Smith were
brothers under the skin-members
of particular cult of politicians
whose absence in these serious days
will make the heart grow fonder.
Both of these men directed their
main appeal to the less admirable
emotions, never the intelligence, of
the voters. Both of them were ex-
ponents Of school of demagoguery
that in the lush days of peace and
panaceas might be excused as among
the foibles of democracy; but which
is as dangerous as it can be in times
Of total war, when courage and
stamina and high principle are vital
attributes of the people.
Mr.. Smiths bid for the senatorial
nomination of Michigan Republicans
was no idle threat. He polled sub
stantial vote. Nor is he ever an idle
threat. A skilled and effective ora
tor, an astute Judge of the things
that people want and glib promiser
he was an adept pupil who studied
faithfully under the late Huey Long
and who found good hunting among
the Townsendites and Coughlanites.
He has been credited by expert OBJ
servers with having more on the ball
than his teachers. It Is well that he
has been defeated and 4 credit to the
'discernment of Michigan voters
that, temporarily, at least, he is out
OF the running. ....

Express Bus Plan

Aside from the protests of the
residents Immediately affected, there
Is such a sharp conflict of opinion
on the facts regarding proposed
establishment OF express buses on
Sixteenth street that the Public
Utilities Commission naturally will
consider the matter carefully before
ordering any substantial changes.
In theory, the nub of the plan ad-
vanced by the commissions engineer
which stems from Commissioner
Hankin's recent origin and destina-
ton SURVEYS to run express buses
from the points of origin of groups
of riders direct to their common
destinations. People who missed the
bus" would miss 1t in the full mean
ing Of the term and would have to
find other transportation. Coupled
with the objective OF quicker trans
portation are others, such as forcing
more people to use street cars on
Georgia avenue and utilizing buses
In manner most conducive to con-
servation Of rubber and fuel.
The bus operators doubt the
feasibility of practical application OF
this theory, hitherto untried in
Washington, on the scale that its
proponents contemplate. Some
seventy-f1ve bus trips out of about
200 originating in the neighborhood
would be converted to this special
lied express service. materially re-
ducing the normal bus service now
available. Testimony from an ONCE
OF Defense Transportation witness
yesterday discounted the value of
the plan from a conservation stand
point. As bus service has been
built on actual travel habits and
demonstrable demands, 1t would
seem hazardous to disrupt this serv-
ice In favor Of a theory as yet un-
tested in actual operation. II there
Is any merit in it, which seems ques-
tionable, wisdom would suggest a
much smaller beginning and a grad
ual expansion based on an actual
showing Of the superior service to
passengers.

RubberCzor

The designation OF a railroad exec
utive to straighten out the Nations
chaotic rubber situation has come
as distinct surprise, but it is graft
tying that Donald Nelson and the
President, apparently being unwill-
ing to entrust the job to a rubber
expert, have seen fit to turn to a
man OF such outstanding ability as
William M. Jeffers, self-made presi-
dent Of the Union Pacific Railroad.
Mr.. Jeffers has said frankly that
he knows nothing about the synthet-
ic rubber business. and this is dis
appointing, for it means that he will
have to use valuable time acquiring
the fund of specialized knowledge
already possessed by a number Of
men in the rubber industry. It ap-
pears, however, that the President
and Mr.. Nelson, for reasons of policy,
preferred hot to name as rubber ad-
ministrator any one already identi-
fed with the industry. Presumably
they felt 1t would be wiser to embark
upon the thorny path of ironing out
the rubber problem with a clean
slate, and therefore chose an admin
istrator who could not be accused
of sympathy for any of the sew
eral factions within the industry.
Whether this policy Is a wise one de-
pends, Of course, on the length Of
time it will take for Mr.. Jeffers to
assimilate the detailed information
which he must have before he can
step into the incredibly confused
rubber situation and effectively take
command.

Constitution Anniversary

one hundred ana u1ty-nve years
ago today the members of the Con-
stitutional Convention assembled at
Philadelphia and signed the basic
charter Of American freedom. George
Washington, explaining the contem-
porary significance Of the event. ex-
pressed his belief that: Should the
States reject this excellent Consti-
tuition, the probability is that an
opportunity will never again offer to
make another in peace" Thomas
Jefferson regarded 1t as "unques-
tionably the wisest ever yet presented
to men," Speaking for q second
generation, Daniel Webster declared:
I'VE may be tossed upon an ocean
where we can see no land-nor per-
haps the sun or stars. But there is
a chart and compass for us to
study, to consult and to obey. That
chart Is the Constitution" A rival,
Henry Clay, agreed that it was in
tended for the welfare Of unlimited,
underlined. endless, perpetual pos
terity"
Neither the wisdom of the Consti-
tuition nor its beneficence, however,
are beyond the constant need of
protection and defense. The first
President, in his farewell address,
September IT, 1895, warned: If, in
the opinion Of the people, the distri-
button or modification of the con-
stitutional powers be in any partic-
ular wrong, let 1t be corrected by an
amendment in the way which the
Constitution designates. But let
there be no change by usurpation." !"
Justice David Davis, in the Milligan
decision OF 1866, insisted: THE Con-
stitution Of the United States is a
law for rulers and people, equally in
war and in peace, and covers with
the shield Of It's protection all classes
Of men, at all times and under all
circumstances. No doctrine involv-
ing more pernicious consequences
was ever invented than that
any Of its provisions can be sus-
pended during any of the great
exigencies Of government" To sim
liar effect Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes in 1904 held: "A consti-
tuition is not intended to embody
q particular economic theory. 1t is
made for people Of fundamentally
differing views. and the accident OF
our finding certain opinions natural
and familiar or novel and even
shocking ought not to conclude oul
judgment upon the question whether
statutes embodying them conflict
with the Constitution OF the United
States"

law, more or less naturally, is in.
