expression to the less noble
instincts of human nature. But
if it be sinful to feel surge of

learn of the devastating raids on
Tokyo there are millions of good

Sweet" much dependent
upon annihila-
ton of Japanese military
strength as with the defeat of
Germany. And Japan should be
completely subjugated while we
are at the job. How much B-29
punishment Jap leaders will force
their subjects to take remains to
be seen. Just how far the Jap
leaders are willing to accept re-
sponsibility for the continuing
wreckage of homes, cities and
the increasing number of deaths
among her population will de-
pend on whether there is suffi-
cient spirit among the Japanese
citizens to register protest and
demand peace.
Our occupation of Two Jima
and the battle for control of
0kinawa have been costly in the
blood of Americans. But not
nearly as costly as to the Japa-
nese on the islands while both
islands are providing air fields
for operation Of our big bombers.
If the Japs won't wilt under the
almost complete destruction of
their capital and other leading
cities it remains problem to
starye them out BY blockade. Re-
ports indicate that the blockade
is becoming more effective as
days pass. While we have re-
gained only a small portion of
the territory conquered by Japan

Destruction of her air and sea

the blockade of Japan proper

"Is it that bad?" asked Tommy. 'Well,
we have the food. But the cooks are
young Negroes who may have been field
hands or construction workers. They
know they have been assigned to the
galley only because they are Negroes
and they are pretty surly at first

Finally things were organized so
they could have 20-mm. guns as their
battle stations and you ought to see the
difference it made. They even began to
learn how to cook But what they liked
to do best was to shoot that gun.

KANSAS CITY.-On May 3, DR.. Will
bur N. Mason will receive an inexpensive
gold gegaw which the 77-year -old
clergyman and educator will value al
most as highly as his Phi Beta Kappa
key.
The pin will mark completion of DR..
Mason's first year as war worker at
the Pratt & Whitney aircraft plant.
More, it will mean that the former pres
ident of Baker University at Baldwin,
Kans., has played an important part in
fighting the evil forces which he believes
q militant church must combat.
II feel that building airplanes for the
war, horrible as all this destruction is,
is something that will work out for the
betterment of the world" he said. If
the things we are struggling for mean
anything at all they are the things the
church at its best has been advocating
all these years."

to give them Welsh rarebit and grilled

started telling Harry about the herring

me the recipe. Here it is:

Tommy said, that will give you a rare

The butter, Tommy the butter" I
said, looking the recipe over. "Stop
using it like that. You'll lose the home

well, they can use a vegetable Short

better.
Anyway they can use beer in the

Frank. How do the men like that?"

tions were notorious and open with
this creature, the Chief Justice and
the Supreme bench boarded with him,
and even advanced him hundreds OF
dollars at times, on account OF board.
Again he had magnificent estab-
lishment at GEORGETOWN, and haunted
the Union Hotel. He kept some of the
fastest horses in the country, and ran
at Annapolis, Richmond, Petersburg.
Winchester, Lexington, Lynchburg, Port
Tobacco and other places. He drove
either four or six horses to a grand
chaise, with outriders, and men in
livery. and his own hair was superbly
powdered, while he carried gold
headed cane.
OF course, Bailey died poor and dis
ligion, for Christianity had been early
planted in his soul by Quakeress
mother, named Margaret Kile. who
married an Irishman named William
Bailey, who, after going through with
her fortune. left her with nine small
children, of whom Robert was the
youngest, and joined the Continental
Army. AS a major he was killed at
the Battle of the Cowpens.
The Biggest Gamblers
According to AN Old Stager," writing
many years ago, it was not the WASH
ington people to any considerable ex-
tent who were doing the gambling.
Members of Congress" he says, were
the largest contributors to the incomes
of the sporting men. Contractors and
Indian traders were generally bold and
sometimes desperate players. Members
of the House frequently staked their
mileage and per diem at the faro table,
and they played all sorts of round
games, short cards. as they were
called, in the clubrooms. Probably
the amount risked would not consti-
tute what is termed highplay' in these
days, but the losses of these men of
limited means were often sufficient to
keep them impoverished and embar-
rassed during their entire congressional
service. Some men played for excite
ment chiefly, not caring much whether
they won or lost"
But gambling was not confined alone
to members of Congress, and even the
diplomatic corps had its members who
INDUCED in games Of chance, one espe-
cially being Henry Stephen Fox. son
Of Gen. Henry Edward Fox and de-
scendant of the celebrated Charles
James Fox, who was the British Min
lister here from 1886 to 1874. He was
a woman-hater, otherwise q misogy-
mist, and hence was solitary man, and
spent his nights playing faro and
ecarte, and according to reports, dur
ing the time he remained in Wash
ington, the Legation was as solitary as
himself. However, he never went to
a gambling house, but Townley, who
in those days was head Of the profess
sion here, used to 60 to the Legation.
and there spread his faro and turned
his roulette to considerable profit.
Townley and his family lived in
handsome style and, as seems usually
to be the case, were regarded by
many as respectable people. Indeed.
there were very few equipages then in
Washington more attractive than that
of the Townleys, which never con-
sisted of less than a span of thorough
bred horses. Minister Fox died here
in 1886 and is buried in Congressional
Cemetery.
