Charles G. Dawes

Charles Gates Dawes was a man OF many
outstanding talents. He began his career as an
engineer Then he studied and practiced law.
Next he went into industrial management, oper-
ating in coal and gas and in the packing trade
That led to banking. and he became fnancier
widely known for his skill in business organizing
His political activity commenced in 1895, when he
campaigned for william Mckinley, attracted the
notice of Mark Hanna and thus won appointment
as Controller of the Currency. bid for the
United States Senate in 1902 ended in defeat and
for while he seriously tried to keep out of public
affairs Settling in Chicago, he launched his own
trust company. Soon it was a phenomenal
success.
But even big bank could not occupy all of
Mr.. Dawes time or absorb all of his restless
energy. He added one interest to another until
he was functioning universal level. In effect,
he lived half dozen lives. His literary endeavorS
gained him wide circle of readers, and he was
much in demand as an orator and lecturer. In
practical philanthropy he sponsored chain Of
hostelries for otherwise homeless men and won-
en-, the whole network representing memorial
to his parents and his son. For recreation he
played the piano and composed music worthy of
being performed in concert by Fritz Kreisler.
When America was drawn into World War he
went overseas as major of engineers. In just
few months he had made himself indispensable
as an accelerator of shipments of supplies, with
the rank of brigadier general. Eventually he was
named purchasing agent for the A. E. F. on the
Continent. He returned to Washington to be the
first Director of the Budget.
His experience in Europe, however led to his
going back there to work on the problem of
reparations He was by no means the sole author
of the Dawes Plan, but he was entitled to much
of the credit for it and he did deserve his share of
the Nobel Prize awarded IN recognition Of it. The
view Of the worlds dilemma which he developed
was humane one. It expressed his understand

Contrast in Court Decisions

Circuit Court Judge John B. Gray, jr., of
Prince Georges County wants the public to know
"that gambling violations will be combatted with
every resource at the courts command" Gam
blers will be "badly mistaken" he announced, "if
they think they can come into court and pay
high license fees" in the form Of fines. With this
pronouncement, Judge Gray proceeded to impose
81, 900 fines and to suspend Jail sentences. on
three persons who had pleaded guilty to operat-
ing lottery in the old Marlboro Hotel. This
hotel, by the way, is owned by Mrs. Sam Beard,
wife of the wel-known Washington gambler.
If this conflict between words and deeds
confuses the gamblers no less confused will be
the public generally. Judge Gray says he "does
not want the public to understand that the court
has relented in it's attitude" against gambling
violations. But, he explained the principal
defendant in the case before him was person
he knew to be a substantial businessman"
Why substantial businessmen who violate the
law should be treated more leniently than other
citizens was not explained. AS for the two lesser
defendants, the judge said it would be "unkind"
not to suspend their sentences, too.
In the same courthouse about the same time
another Circuit Court judge also was comment
ing on the subject of fines and Jail terms for
gamblers. Judge Charles C. Marbury, in sending
two convicted gamblers to jail, said: ut is
useless to impose fines and suspended sentences.
If that is DONE everyone in the gambling busi-
ness would try to get by with law violations.
The imposition of fines is not unlike licensing
a continuance" The Star believes that if Prince
Georges County really wants to get rid OF the
gamblers who have brought it into disrepute in
the past, its courts should adopt Judge Marburys
stern policy of sending violators to jail, whether
they are substantial businessmen or not.

@. Is voltage or amperage the deadly
factor in an electric power line?-K. E. B.
A. The National Bureau Of Standards
says that it is the current that causes
damage to the human body during an
electrical shock and not the voltage. The
voltage is only important in that it de-
termines, along with the resistance, the
value of current that will flow under a
given set of conditions. Severity of elec-
trio shock is also affected by many other
factors including condition Of person at
time Of shock, duration Of contact, fire.

may be expected to cause death.
@. What occasioned the fact that the
first stone in Notre Dame Cathedral in

He was therefore, available to perform

Youth and War

UNIT and any other form of compul-
sorry military service for boys under vot-
ing age fills me with shame for the
human race.
So-called Flower animals" make every
effort to protect their young.
The self-styled 'higher animal
known as human, whose leading industry
now has become the mass slaughter of
his own species, consigns them to the
man-made hell of war, to protect himself.

I read with interest your editorial,
entitled "a Vicious Racket" appearing
in The Star of April 81. It is an inter-
esting and Informative editorial, as The
Star editorials usually are.
This plaintive cry from the West is
simply to inquire whether you have any
suggestions as to what fellow from
South Dakota can do to stop being re-
ferred to as a Senator from North Da-

in the news columns, and here it is

RFC Reorganization Vote

Of course, the vote on reorganization
Of the RFC did not relate even indi-
rectly to abolition of RFC, as The Stars
editorial of April II says. You should
know what the proposition was on which
Congress voted before you attempt to
express editorial opinion on the gen.
eral subject. The life of RFC was not
at stake. Only the Presidents plan to
reorganize it was at stake. Come, come,
now. Let's wake up.
G. X.
Editors note: The Stars editorial
made it plain that the vote was on
the Presidents reorganization plan
and made the broad assumption that
the majority vote against the plan
was, in effect, vote for abolishment
of the RFC. The editorial pointed
out that the Byrd bill to abolish the
RFC still was pending and could
(and should be resurrected and
adopted "if the reorganized RFC fails
to make out a better case for its con-
tinued existence than did its prede-
cesSor.")

There is something true In this.
OF course. We should by all means

good laws are made and bad ones

The best laws can never catch

Uncle Mites Fast Pace
|Discourages Derby Foes
By the Assoe:a:ej Press

NEW YORK, April 11.-Race
followers were saying today that
'if" Uncle Miltie wins Saturdays
Experimental Handicap No. 2 and
the Wood Memorial at Jamaica
the following week, not many s.
year-olds will dare tackle him in
the Kentucky Derby.
The local turf experts who
watched Uncle Miltie easily beat
Battlefield and other top sopho-
mores Monday in 6 furlongs at
Jamaica Immediately tabled Jo-
seph j. Colando's Pennsylvania
colt the pronounced favorite for
the 100000 Derby May 5 at Louis
vile.
Until Mondays race most every
one talked of the "big three"
Derby candidates. Uncle Miltie,
George D. Widener's Battlefield,
the 1850 2-year-old champion. and
the Greentree Stables Big Stretch.
"If" Attached to All Three.
There was large "if" attached
to all three.
/. Battlefield could be the horse
"if" he can go the distance. The
colt has never travelled more than
his winning 612 furlongs in the
rich Belmont Futurity last fall.
2. Uncle Miltie, proven in longer
races last fall by taking the Cham
pagne Stakes at Belmont and the
Wakefield Handicap at Jamaica,
was reported to have suspicious
knees. In other words. some
horsemen thought they might give
away in a strenuous campaign re-
quired for getting Derby horses
ready SO early in the year. "If''
is large word here, but the colt
looked plenty healthy Monday.
3. Finally, Big Stretch might
grab 1t all, "if" he has the heart
to win. Some experts thought Big
Stretch showed lack of courage
last year in several races when he
1got into close quarters. But the
Greentree galloper was bumped
twice in the Pimlico Futurity last
