Given a wind, this part of
Northern Virginia would turn
into a stepchild of the Dust
Bowl. Cars, usually sleek and
shiny, have a tarnished look after
they come off the dirt roads
leading from estates; lawns that
have looked like velvet now look
like burlap and even the horses,
which should be as shiny as the
cars, come home with dust-cov-
cred riders and a grimy look.
There is a sure invitation to
rain and that is a good, rousing
horse show. Let there be a we'll
turned out bunch of contestants,
well-dressed spectators and an
outdoor lunch in the offing and
the rains usually come. On Sat-
urday, the 10th annual S. P. c. A.
Hunter Show at the GlenWood
Race Track near Middleburg
might break the drought but
whether it does or not the Fred
Show, as it should be called, will
end the hofse-show season out
here with it's usual flourish.
This show, which Miss Mamie,
Dorothy and S. Rogers Fred have
handled for a good long time,
has become an institution. Most
of the horses are owner ridden,
which means a more interested
rail. The classes run to around
% but are always over before
dark and the FredS climax the
show with a party at their Sun
nybank farm near Middleburg.
Last year there was a side
saddle class with almost a dozen
entries which showed a manly
world that womanly decorum is
not entirely lost.
To break the day this year,
spaghetti and hot dogs will be
served under the well-seasoned
direction of Mrs. John Regan,
assisted by Mrs. Clay Bailey and
Mrs. Charles Baird and by some
handpicked young fry who will
collect coke bottles and pass
the dishes.

James Earle Fraser

II Dying at IT, rich in years and in achieve
ment, James Earle Fraser is as sure of remem-
brance in the Capital of his native country as
the persons whose lives and deeds he immortal
lied as sculptor. He was an American in his
art, apprenticed to Augustus St"Gaudens in his
youth and never spoiled by alien influences
The American Northwest, while it yet was
frontier, gave him a background for some of
his best productions. He created the famous

heart. Himself possessed of zest and zeal, he
spent his talents consistently to the benefit of
society at large. The bronze head Of Theodore
Roosevelt in the Senate Chamber is documen-
tation of the spirit of the subject. Mr.. Fraser's
statues of John Ericsson, Alexander Hamilton
and Albert Gallatin are portraits too, not merely

AS native Californian, I cannot
deplore Gov. Warren'S appointment to

himself "Old Reactionary." Prior to
Gov. Warren'S election, California was
honey -combed with gangster elements,
and their logical counterpartS, corrupt
officials. Though he did not completely
obliterate them from our great State,
he certainly diminished their numbers
and made the law fearful instrument
beneath which decent citizens breathed
freely.
do not believe Gov. Warren to be
creative jurist to be classed with
Judge Learned Hand. But he has
shown a remarkable sense of justice
and merciful enforcing of the exist
ing statute, which is precisely the
element all Americans desire in our
highest offices. Judge Hand has
demonstrated a tendency to turn
responsibility for crimes back to the
society which emanated them. Gov.
Warren will remind the violators of
our codes that, although society at
bottom knows it is at fault. men must
suffer the consequences of their
violence. It is my feeling that outlaws
never are to be tolerated.
In these sad times, let us not be too
quick to belittle men and destroy pub
lie confidence in them before they
have had time to prove themselves and
establish their character, whatever it
may be. AS for myself, will withhold
any inclination to compare Gov. War
rem with great jurists until such time
as he proves himself worthy of such
magnitude.
But let us ask God to uphold the
juriSt and give him the wisdom to see
us clearly in our misery and to protect
us. if we are innocent, from the weight
Of laws which all men should hold in
terror, if they are just.

This and That

Templeton Jones was watching the
young girl as she walked, across the
Office.
Her face was good, her figure per-
feet, and her smile bright, but it was
none Of these that attracted the old
man.
It was her carriage, the way she
carried herself, as people say.
Her posture was perfect, not exag-
gerated, in the poulter pigeon military
stance: it was simply every bone in
the right place, far underneath.
Even pretty girls are made of bones
and flesh and skin. as Kipling once
pointed out.
Jones admired the girl as she walked
there.
Her head was erect, without her
thinking about the matter. Even a
little thought would have ruined it.
Her shoulders were back, naturally,
not pulled back.

British Guiunu Trouble

The news that the stability of Brit
ish Guiana is threatened by radical
regime masterminded by an Amer
1can woman who denies Communist
af1liation but visits Communist bosses
in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Britain.
raises the possibility that she might
be called to account under the Logan
Act.
The Act Of 1918, as it is also known.
was designed for use against those
setting under way enterprises against
friendly nations. Even if Chicago
born Mrs. Janet Jagan has become
a British subject or citizen of Brit
ish Guiana, that apparently is no bar
to prosecution, as Tennessee's William
Walker was tried under the Logan Act
after he had become a citizen and
President of Nicaragua.
Nor is the fact that Mrs. Jagan's
husband is East Indian a rarity in
that part of the world. A large per-
centage of the business and profess
sional men of British Guiana are East
