Link With Past Gone

A Los Angeles dispatch announces
the death of Lloyd Osborne, stepson OF
Robert Louis Stevenson. AS a young
boy Mr.. Orborne asked Stevenson to
tell him a story without girls. This
set the versatile writer to thinking
along unaccustomed lines with the re.
suit that he published his first romance
first known as The Sea Cook and later
rechristened Treasure Island. It was
this story that brought him his first
real popularity.
But the story that really brought
him prominence in the world of letters
was the strange tale of DR.. Jeckll and
Mr.. Hyde, in which dual personality
created by a NEUROLOGICAL drug is ex-
plotted.
Stevenson was a prolific writer, the
more remarkable when his poor health
is considered, but Of all his works his
fame now rests upon Treasure Island,
first published in 1881, and DR.. Jeckll
and Mr.. Hyde which came out in 1886,
and justly so as they represent his
creative ability at it's best.
%Bibliophiles, however, still return
to his Vailima Letters, posthumously is
sued by his friend Sidney Colvin, which
contain some Of the best constructive
writing of the gifted Scotchman. They
are the more remarkable in that for
the most part they were written in bed
when his life was ebbing fast.
Lloyd Osborne attained some popu-
larity as a writer and collaborated with
his stepfather on several works. But
Stevenson, though he tried several
times to collaborate with others, was
too independent a thinker and for the
most part too clever a manipulation of
words to brook interference with the
free flow of his own thoughts.
How long ago it all seems now.
Stevenson died in 1849. Osborne
breathed his last day before yesterday
in a Los Angeles hospital, aged 70.
Those still living who remember the
stir DR.. Jeckll and Mr.. Hyde created
find it hard to realize that they first
read or heard about it sixty-one years
ago.

$65, 900 annually for his efforts. There's
a handful getting $4,000 a year, and
quite a few make $4,000. All these
figures are the lobbyists own, of
course. There might be more OF the

remains that the female lobbyist is the
victim of rank discrimination. You'd
think nobody was lobbying for an equal

No, we rather suspect it has something
to do with congressmen's wives.
Most congressman do have wives,

missus knows that her husband is the

to corner him and grab his lapel. But

Ban Shows Near Schools

The City, Council is to be requested
to prohibit use of Bellamy Park by
clrcuses, carnivals and other outdoor
shows. The reason is obvious. The
park is near Washington Catlett school.
Pupils there are distracted from then
school work and little progress can be
made so long as a show is in progress.
Furthermore, because of a lack of
fewer and water facilities an ~insanitary
condition arises which could menace
the health of the children.
The Council has man reasons to
grant the request Of the Board of Edu-
cation and it is difficult to think of a
logical reason to deny it.
Similar request to the Board of
County Commissioners is in order.
There would be as great distraction
from studies ard as bad sanitary condi-
tons, it a circus or other amusement

there has been in this particular case
in the city.
If the request reaches the county
government it would have the same rea-
son to grant it as the Council has.
Whatever legal limitations exist,
that is to say, if either the Council or
the County Board of Commissioners is
not specifically authorized by law to
ban a circus or other itinerant show
from property near a school and pri-
vately owned, there certainly is sup
port for the request from a health as
we'll as a school viewpoint.
There is plenty of unoccupied land
within the city limits as well as beyond
where the objections against Bellamy
Park do not exist. If the city or coun-
ty governments feel they lack adequate
authority to act as desired, both could
well adopt ordinances to meet the need

Lady Lobbyists

We were frankly disappointed to
read that there are only sc women
among the nearly 800 persons who
have registered as congressional lobby
lists. Somehow we had hoped that the
new law which flushed the lobbyists
from cover would reveal a femme
fatale influence in our national legisla-
tive processes. After all, there has
been just about every other sort of in
.fluence.
But our romantic notions have been
thoroughly dispelled by a rude blast of
statistics. The reason there aren't
more Mata Harris in the Capitol CORR
doris is that the pay of women lobbyists
is, in a word, lousy.
The highest-salaried of the special
pleading ladies gets $1,000 a year. An
other gets $4,000. Quite a number are
in the s3500-$4500 bracket. Then the

gets $40 a day when she works, which
apparently isn't too often. Several

Even the registered lobbyist of the

WASHINGTON, While the res
of the business world is just talk
ing about the remote possibilities
of a recession, the U. S. aviation
industry is having one. Everybody
knows this, though 10 one likes
to come right out and admit it,
This first industry-wide postwar
depression does not seem to be
fun. 1t runs through every branch
of the business, from experiment
ter and designer to plane manu-

lines. shoestring operators Of car

Most OF this trouble seems to be
a reconversion problem. The in
dustry can't find out how big it's
going to be. And the only solution
which any branch Of the flying
business has SO far been able to
think up is to ask the government
Tor bigger and better subsidies for
RI research, manufacture, and opera

During the war aviation was the
country's biggest business. With a
squadron of planes over or under
every cloud in the sky. some en-
thusiasts got the idea that all
these airplanes were here to. stay
ard that the air age had arrived
l: was generally assumed that air
plane manufacturers would have
enough orders to stay in big bus
mess, even if most Of the orders
came from government. To-day
none of these assumptions IS any
good.

Force was cut from 70 squadron.

enough business in sight to keep

For this year, most Of the big
plane manufacturers have enough
orders for commercial transports
to keep going. But when these or
ders for approximately 800 planes
are filled. some of the manufac-
turers say they'll have 70 go out

1t is a by-word in tile aviation
industry that nobody yer made
