"fiamboyant," applied to the frui-
ton of their endeavor in its ultimate
fulf1llment.
A talented modern interpreter of
Gothic, Philip Hubert Frohman. and
his associates in the firm of Froh-
man, Robb and Little, made the
drawings for the Porch and super
vised its development. The first
stone was laid by Mrs. Herbert
Hoover on Ascension Day, 1881. A
committee Of women provided the
money in memory of women every
where who have expressed faith in
those ideals OF Christian living" It
has been described as a testament to
the loving service" Of mothers, wives,
sisters and daughters to whom Amer
lean manhood is in debt.
The Porch, therefore, always will
be known as an integral part Of the
Cathedral contributed by women.
But it was built by men and is a
monument to cooperation that may
be regarded as convincing evidence
of the power of vision when people
generally, without regard to differ
ences, unite to support 1t.

Grusping the NettIe

"Nettles wanted-$486 go a ton" So
read an advertisement of Scottish
business firm. Throughout the Brit
ish Isles countless readers blinked.
1t was incredible that any one would
want nettles at any price. At first
the public thought it must be mis-
print for kettles, or something else
probably worth ten times 1880 a
ton. It was better to think that,
and retain sanity, than to lose faith
in Scotland. But no, the advertise
ment was repeated, and to save nerve
strain and clear up the mystery, it
was explained that the nettles were
wanted for new process OF making
paper.
Hitherto the nettle's main use has
been In copybook maxim, wherein
1t is asserted-without proof-that
If handled gingerly it is painful, but
If grasped boldly, becomes a harmless
pushover. At last a large-scale op-
portunity will be offered to test the
validity OF the maxim, whose first
part is granted. Unof1cially, the
odds seem in favor Of the nettle. It
does not pay to underestimate the
strength Of the enemy. II the nettle
is 50 defenseless against 4 first-class
power, how does 1t happen that it
has survived by the millions?

Capitol Side|ights
By viii P. Kennedy.

The first delegate ever to sit In Con-
gress as elected representative from
territory was James White. grandfather
of the late Chief Justice Edward Douglas
White. He had studied both law and
medicine, was a member OF the Conti-
mental Congress from North Carolina
and of the North Carolina General AS
sembly, and superintendent of Indian
Affairs. After the creation of the Terri
tory South OF the Ohio in 1870, he served
tn the first Territorial Legislature and
was elected as q delegate to the Third
and Fourth Congresses. When Tennessee
entered the Union he moved to Louis
lana and became Judge. His son, Ed
ward Douglas White. ST.. served five
terms In Congress. was q. judge and
Governor Of the State, practiced law
and was planter. The late Chief JUS
tice White ran away from Georgetown
University to enter the Confederate
Army, was 4 member Of the Louisiana
State Senate, and associate justice Of
the State Supreme Court, served In the
United States Senate. was appointed to
the United States Supreme Court by
President Cleveland and took the oath as
Chief Justice In 1910.
The second delegate to come to Con-
gress was william Henry Harrison later
President. He was elected delegate when
the Territory Northwest of the Ohio
River, ceded to the United States by the
State OF Virginia. was created in 1887.
This later became the State OF Ohio,
from which Harrison later served in the
United States Senate. Harrisons father,
Benjamin, had been q member of the
Colonial House of Burgesses Of Virginia,
q member Of the committee which drew
up the address to the King and the re-
monstrances to Parliament on the pas
sage of the Declaratory Act OF 1764, 4
member Of the Virginia revolutionary
convention and q member of the Con-
tinental Congress. He reported the
resolution Of Richard Henry Lee declar-
ing the independence of the American
Colonies, also reported the Declaration
of independence Of which he was a
signer, and was later Governor OF Vir-
ginia. President Harrison was father
OF John Scott Harrison, brother of Car
ter Bassett Harrison and grandfather
OF Benjamin Harrison, all of whom
served in Congress with distinction. The
grandson, Benjamin, was Senator from
Indiana and President Of the United
States, after having been an oficer in
the Civil War.
The next territory admitted was Mis-
sissippi. ceded to the United States by
the States OF Georgia and South Caro-
lima, April 7, 178s. The first territorial
delegate from Mississippi was Mars
worthy Hunter, native OF Virginia, who
had been commissioned inspector of the
military posts on the east side Of the
Mississippi River.

past the privilege Of attendance at
an institution of higher learning was
luxury to which only small minor
ity OF Americans were admitted.
Curriculums were not supposed to be
drastically realistic. Students wan
dered far from the main path of the
traditional three RS. A great phil
anthropic foundation unhesitatingly
granted funds for such esoteric re-
searches as an investigation of the
origin Of Etruscan pavements, a quest
for the source of the Greek concep-
ton OF the human psyche and an
inquiry into primitive ideas concern
ing the nature Of angels.

waste OF mental energy, leisure and
money. The world that is being
brought to birth in the present con-
f1ict will be a practical world. It
will not lack for ideals, but its aspira-
tions will be drastically pragmatic.
Those who are to govern the event
include the boys and the girls, the

the draft is to be speeded up as much as
its directors say it IS, then the problem
OF finding workers in industry will be-
come acute during the next year.

an army Of mass size also Is to call for
an end to every semblance Of business

industry to concentrate It's production
for civilian use into few factories and
few companies and 1t is going to force
distributors Of civilian goods to concen-
trate their efforts. Those changes will
appear over the months that lie ahead.
The American people still are not being
told by their leaders what it Is to mean
to them to create and to supply in action
an army Of 5000 900 or 10000, 900 men.
In the World War. an army OF 1000 900
was In being for 4 very brief time and
that army never was supplied fully by
American industry. Now 1t Is proposed
to create. to equip and to maintain an
army two and one-haN times that size

Penolizinq Strikers

In an action which may have i'm
portant consequences, the War Labor
Board has moved cautiously toward
the imposition Of penalties on war
workers who quit their jobs in VIOLA
ton OF labor's no-strike agreement.
The penalty imposed in this in
stance consists Of a refusal on the
part Of the board to grant a union
security clause to the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor's Chemical Workers
Union, the members of which en-
gagged in a five-day strike last month.
This is mild penalty and, OF course,
would prove inadequate if the union
members were to call another strike
to enforce their demands. But, as a
first step in the right direction, it is
significant move.
Delivering the opinion of the
board, Dean Wayne L. Morse, one of
the public members, declared: 1.-The
War Labor Board cannot afford in
this case to set precedent whereby
union is granted union mainte-
nance protection by the board in the
very face of a record which shows
that the union violated it's no-strike
pledge" Furthermore, Dean Morse
indicated, the board intends to take
the same position in any comparable
case which may arise in the future.
"The board" he stated, would not
be justified in granting a mainte-
nance of membership protection to
this or any other union which resorts
to the use of economic force in an
attempt to obtain its demands"
BY this language, particularly the
reference to amy other union," the
board presumably has served notice
on all unions that in the future they
cannot expect to SO out on strike and
then receive from the board the same
considerate treatment accorded other
unions which keep their members at
work pending adjudication OF their
disputes. The boards decision in
this case also took note OF the fact
that unions, by their no-strike pledge,
had agreed Ito abide by decisions
reached through the use Of peaceful
procedures. This, coupled with the
penalty imposed on the chemical
workers, might well be interpreted as
a warning to CIO aluminium workers
who have raised the threat of a strike
in protest against the boards recent
refusal to grant their demand for a
general wage increase.
Precisely how the board would
follow up this warning If the alumi-
mum workers should elect to ignore
it is not clear. but the unanimous
decision to subject the AFL members
to some penalty is an encouraging
indication that Dean Morse and his
associates, including the boards la
Dor members, do not intend to sit
idly by in the face of defiance from
faithless unions.

Mans failure to reckon with this great

Cathedral Porch

One of the truly great architectural
achievements added to the attrac-
tions of the Nations Capital in recent
years Is that of the beautiful North
Porch of Washington Cathedral, now
temporarily in use as the main en-
trance to the growing House Of
Prayer for All People on Mount st.
Alban.
The lines of this latest portion Of
the Cathedral fabric to be completed
and placed in service are pure
Gothic, and the effect of them upon
the eye Of the beholder is enhanced
by the translucent whiteness OF the
stone employed in the construction.
Seen above a wide sweep of verdant
lawn and against the sober back
ground of the gray wall of the Choir,
the whole achievement is richly sat
isfying. The North Transept of which
the Porch is the facade stands in
shadow, yet because Of its noble
grace of design and execution 1t ap-
pears to be afiame. 1t is believed that
the original inventors OF the pointed
arch were motivated by their appre-

In a remarkable little book the late
Thomas r. Kelly, a Quaker and q pro-
fessor Of philosophy, writes illuminat-
ingly on the major element that governs
the human will and largely determines
our outlook upon life. He contends that
this inner light is susceptible of cultiva-
tion, that it is the divine quality that
gives to life its direction and fixes its
ultimate objective. He says: Deep
within us all there is an amazing sane
tuary OF the soul, . holy place, speak
ing voice, to which We may continuously
return. Eternity is at our hearts, press
ing upon our time-worn lives, warning
us with intuitions Of an astounding des-
tiny. Within is the beginning of true
life. 1t Is dynamic center 4 creative
life that presses to birth within us. 1t
illumines the face Of God and casts new
shadows and new glories upon the face
OF man." This inner light he MAIN
tains Is the "slumbering Christ stirring
to be awakened-and He is within us
all" Mysticism" We are won't to call
such conception, and yet there is abun-
dant evidence that such = conception
explains the high spiritual development
in many lives. There are millions Of
men and women In the world who pur-
sue their course governed, not so much
by changing circumstances, As by the
consciousness OF light within. Their
Judgments, their daily habits, their asso-
Citations are determined not by the
changing habits of men, but by vision
OF life: yes, a philosophy that Is undis-
turbed by passing events. Even the
tragedies OF life do not distract or dis
illusion them. The citadel in which they
find security is serene and untroubled
mind. The highest exemplification of
this Is found In the Man Of Nazareth.
Witness His unperturbed slumber when
IN the midst OF a tempest and in a boat
where His disciples were wrestling with
threatening waves. He slept serenely,
and when awakened rebuked them for
their alarm, saying: why are ye so

Time to Stort

Senator McCarran is perfectly
right in his criticism OF the failure OF
the Federal Works Agency's hospital
building program for the Metropoli-
tan Area to meet the hospital needs
which his survey has shown to exist.
1t will be splendid if he can obtain an
increase in the number OF beds
recommended.
But in The Stars opinion, the time
for continued discussion of how
many beds should be furnished has
passed; 1t is necessary now that a
definite start be made in construc-
ton OF the first hospital. The Federal
Works Agency has yet to allot single
dollar for hospital construction of
any sort in the Metropolitan Area.
The real difficulty in connection
with the hospital program does not
concern the number of beds that
should be furnished to meet a DEM
onstrated need The difficulty is the
same problem experienced all over
the Nation in connection with any
construction. Civilian needs must
give priority to Army and Navy needs.
Materials Of any sort are difficult to
obtain. Even the one-story struc-
lures recommended for the Federal
Works Agency program, calling for
the materials most readily available,
have been planned with the idea of
getting built what can be built; not
getting built what ought to be built.
But how much longer is it going to
take the authorities to begin this con-
struction? Even If some alternative
scheme for housing extra beds in the
District OF Columbia should be found,
temporary hospital structures must
be built In some Of the adjacent
counties. Are additional weeks, or
months, to pass by with nothing ac-
complished except discussion over
needs? Cannot some start be made
now, and the eventual size Of the pro-
gram decided later? What we need
now is extra hospital beds-the num-
Der will necessarily depend on the
availability of materials.

War and Education

The relation between the war and
all institutions and processes estab-
lished for the education of youth has
been discussed on frequent occasions
since December last, but, perhaps
largely because of the number Of
voices clamoring to be heard, the
public is confused about the problems
Immediately involved.
Many schools, it is evident, will not
reopen at the time ordinarily set for
the beginning of the fall term. Build
ings and other facilities have been
"taken over" by the Government "for
the duration" Also, it happens that
whole groups of young people who
under normal conditions would be
entering colleges and universities are
occupied elsewhere. Thousands are
engaged on the agrarian and the in
dustrial fronts, still other thousands
are with the fighting forces. In the
shift OF personnel inevitably resulting
from the national effort for victory,
purely academic activity is bound to
be neglected by people OF every age.
But it does not follow that the
Nation can meet the demands Of the
prevailing crisis with unframed in
telligence. As indicated by DR.. Ed
ward c. Elliott of the War Manpower
Commission, the "frills" spe-
cialized courses in literature, for
example-will have to be sacrificed.
Such trimming has been expected
and generally will not be regretted.
The need for more definitely useful
instruction, however, becomes in
creasingly acute. 1t has been an
nounced that the Army itself will
initiate program for pre-induction
schooling in mathematics, physics,
aeronautics, electricity, radio, draft
ing, blueprint reading, mechanics,
anatomy, physiology and first aid.
Under the existing draft law 63 of
every 100 men called to the colors are
being assigned to duties requiring
particular training. Lieutenant Gen.
eral Brehon B. Somervell has dis

In Canada, England and Germany,
taxes are geared to pay at least so per
cent of the cost Of wartime operations
and in those nations other imitation con-
trolls are far more sweeping than in the
United States. This means that the
American people will have to take their
choice of very sizable imitation, which
is a tax that bears heavily on workers
and on persons with fixed incomes, or of
heavier taxes than any yet proposed.
The post-election choice is almost cer-
tain to be for drastic tax increases, with
any 1912 revenue act to be followed by
a 1s43 act. BY l943 there is to be sales
tax that will bear heavily upon all luxury
products and all products the consump-
ton Of which Government viii be en-
deavoring to restrict.
And so 1t goes. The days when war
can-appear to be get-rich-quick venture
for some or means Of raising standards
OF living are very definitely numbered
Their numbers will be far fewer after
the public has registered its choice OF
members Of Congress for the next two
years, Once that choice has been made,
the new Congress can settle down to
accepting the controls that war makes
inevitable. Likewise, once that choice
has been made. the officials who are
running the civilian side OF the war
effort can begin to forget political con-
siderations for time and apply the
policies that they know must be applied
in the end.
