3 JJ 7 50 HOOVER'S COMMENDABLE PROMPTNESS. President Hoover's prompt announcement that he will sign the new tariff bill doubtless will be received anm-ov- mgly by the country generally. a result is.likely to follow, not because all provisions of the measure are regarded by everybody as wise just and satisfactory, for they are not, but because everybody has grown inexpressibly weary of the Senate's tiresome tinkering with tariff schedules. Throughout the country there is a feeling that delay enacting the new tariff has been largely responsible for the business depression that has existed for several months. As long as there was uncertainty as to what the provisions of the new tariff would be, business naturally would plan little or nothing ahead, button the contrary, would pursue a policy of retrenchment and restriction.

Now that a new tariff bill has been enacted and the Presment has announced his intention of signing it, business will know just what tariff conditions are under which it is to operate, and can plan for the future with some degree of confidence. That, it has been impossible to do any time within the last year--since the Congress undertook the work of preparing a new tariff measure. President Hoover said he was moved to sign the bill immediately because it was urgent that "uncertainties in the business world" be ended without further delay, because the rate increases provided for in the measure "are largely directed to the interest of the farmer," and because the new flexible provision will afford opportunity to "remedy inequalities" and remove the tariff from the domain of politics, lobbying and log-rolling." President says he do'es not even pretend to have made an exhaustive investigation of the complex facts surrounding each of the 3,300 items included in the bill--items on which hundreds of men in Congress spent a year and a third in study. He points out that no President, with his other duties, could possibly find time to go through the bill and inquire thoroughly into the merit of each item. His position is sound, too, when he says, in effect, that since the new tariff bill constitutes a legislative rate revision, the Congress, which is the legislative branch of the government must take responsibility for it.

It is evident that the President feels that nothing would tend more to retard business recovery than to have agitation for legislative tariff revision continued. It would be continued should the present bil'i fail of enactment, of course. That this obstacle to a revival of business may be removed, he is going to sign the new. tariff bill as soon as it reaches his desk. The country will be as pleased with his promptness as it has been disgusted'with the Senate's- delays.

Radio, wilf play an important part in smoothing out international difficulties. It will afford increasing--opportunity, for-the people of one country to learn what the people of another about any mutual problem. That is the purpose of a weekly broadcast known as the International Viewpoint Series, in which English and American leaders discuss current matters of interest to both nations. The talks are carried across the Atlantic.by short waves from one country and re-broadcast the other. A.recent this series holds that these broadcasts will show to both Britons and Americans that "their differences are fraught with no danger and that each must take the other as he is, without illusion or pretense or concealment." If r-adio can dp that it will be the greatest peacemaker of all time.

Even if it falls a little short of perfect achievement it will be of inestimable value to the nations employing it for this purpose. MUSIC FOR NERVES, A veterans' hospital in Northampton, is using organ music in the treatment of nervous cases. It has a $10,000 pipe organ built for that purpose. The soothing effect of the music, physicians believe, will have a good effect in many kinds of abnqrmal mentality cases, including lapses of Whilelistening quietly to the music, patients may "find themselves." This is not really an original experiment. The same thing has been tried, with good results, in some of our insane asylums, and music is being used more and more in ordinary hospitals as contributing factor in the recovery of all kinds of patients.

But the wh.olesomeness good music for either the well or the sick has never been appreciated. Much depends, of course, on the kind of music. It is safe to say that there won't be much jazz played in that veterans hospital. NOT SHOUTING. JVIme.

Schumann-Heink, venerable song-bird, arrives in America for another series of concert engagements, some of them arduous and exacting. But the melodious great- grandmother is not worried about it. "It will be easy," she says. "I know how to sing now. I don shout as I did when I was young." we-venture to, suggest, wouldn't learn that in 69 years, Which is one reason why they won't be singing for the public when they're 69, We might add that there would be more actors and orators functioning in good health, good nature and im- -proyed artistry in their sixties if they learned early enough in life not to shout.

And it might even help us in private life. THE BACK SEAT DRIVER. The back-seat driver has come into his own at last The Geqrgia court of appeals has thrown out a woman's appeal for damages in an auto accident because she, riding in the family auto which her husband was driving, did not warn her husband of the approach of another car. Thus, evidently, back-seat driving is not only a right but a duty, Not only the must keep his eyes on the road, but his passengers must do the same. The whole party be vigilant, All of this may be excellent law, but it strikes us as common sense.

Any competent driver, can watch: the hazards, of traffic without Advice from the back despite the learned court, is more apt to corifuse than "LEAD KINDLY LIGHT" On June 16, 1833, John Henry Newman wrote while crossing the Mediterranean sea the famous hymn, "Lead, Kindly Light." A brilliant man in the Church of England, beloved and admired for his character and great gifts, Newman a doubter of Protestantism. So he was moved to write: Lead, kindly light, amid the encircling gloom, Lead Thou me on; The night is dark, and I am far from home, Lead Thou mo on. Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see The one step enough for me. Nine years after he wrote this, Carinal Newman retired to the little village of Littlemore, when he passed three years in seclusion wrestling in silence with his attitude toward the church. Emerging from his retirement Newman became a convert to the Roman Catholic church.

In 187S Leo XIII created Newman a cardinal, allowing him to reside in England. By Rev. John R. Gunn THE FOLLY OF CONCEIT "Seest them a man wise in is more hope of a fool than of Prov. 28:12.

i Of times-we smile over Mrs. Poyser's cock, who fancied the sun rose every morning to hear him crow. But do we not all have a good deal of the cock's vanity in our nature? Are we not all sometimes tempted to think we are the whole show, that our fellow-mortals were made to tickle our vanity, that even the sun rises every morning just to shine on us and reveal our glory? The tragic side of this is that the vainer we are the less we have to be vain ov'er. It was of vain people Socrates was speaking when he said, "Wind puffs up empty bladders." McCaulay spoke to the same effect when he defined conceit as "the art of making much show with little substance," You will usually find that just at the point where a man is wisest his own conceit, is the very spot where he is weakest. Somehow it seems to be human nature for men to be vainer on account of qualities which they imagine they have than of they really have.

This is the thing that makes conceit dangerous. This is why Solo7 inon says that there is more hope of a. fool than of' a man who is wise in his own conceit. Conceit blinds one to his faults and weaknesses. It makes one self- satisfied, so that he makes no effort to correct his shortcomings and improve himself.

Moreover, conceit exposes one to grave danger in his dealings with others. Fancying himself to be strong and cunning where he ia not, the conceited man is ever at the mercy of those with whom he deals. Cairo To Get Bust of Queen Egypt finally is to get the bust of Queen Nofrete-Eto, which she has trying to recover from the New Museum, Berlin, Germany, for many years. It will be placed in the Cairo Museum. The figure is the most beautiful found at Tel-el- Amarna by the 1 German expedition of 1912-13.

S. A. Richard Crookes is a native of New Jersey. 'He began singirig as a boy soprano in a church choir and kept this position from the time he was nine years old until he was fourteen. His choir master, Sidney Boune, urged him to go into music as a profession, and was at groat pains to lay for him the nec- cessary foundation and He went to New York City and continued to sing in church choirs, later going into tho larger field concert work.

Not many years ago, he made his first appearance on the concert stage abroad and is considered there as well as here one of the finest American-born tenors. Q. What states have laws against hitch-hiking? G. A. A.

At last report, hitch-hiking was unlawful in Wisconsin, Minnesota, New Jersey, and Maine. Q. What city has the largest Chinatown? S. C. A.

San Francisco has the largest Chinatown outside of China. Q. Where are the Casa Grande ruins? J. S. W.

A. Casa Grande is a ruined structure of prehistoric origin in the valley of the Gila River, near Florence, Arizona. It may have been seen by white men connected with the Coronado expedition, "1540; it was certainly discovered, by Padre Kino in 1694, and was revisited by him in 1697. In provided for the protection of the ruin as a monument of antiquity, and in 1892 the structure and the adjacent grounds were set apart as a public reservation in of a custodian. It is of cajon or pise construction, i.

adobe or mud, molded in place, in walls 3 to 5 feet thick at the ground, The surfaces were plastered with a slip of adobe clay. There are five rooms in the ground plan; portions of three stories remain, and there may have been a fourth in part of the structure. Rcent exploration under Dr. Fewkes has shown that the main structure described above is only a small part of the ruin: The buildings are assembled in great walled rectangles called compounds, of which four exist at this ruin. The Casa Grande ruin is almost in a class by itself, but in pottery, it shows very strong affiliations with the Pueblo ruins, of which it may perhaps be considered a frontier example.

It may have been built by the ancestors of the modern Pima who inhabit the country today, but it seems more likely that its builders were other people of a more, distinct Pueblo type. How many trees are there in the-Hall of Fame? C. N. A.

Haskin. Washington, D. Fox; that grand horse which romped home winner of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs this year, bringing his owner, William Woodward of Belaire, a purse of $50,750, upheld the traditions of oue of the oldest plantation domains in America, For Belair has been sending forth race horses of stamina and mettle for more years than the United States has been an independent nation.

Belair is not one of the great show places among American country elates. Not because it is not worth showing, but rather because it has been a secluded private family mansion for nearly 200 years, descending long line of distinguished owners. Plantation and mansion are to rank with, the most famous in the land. Architecturally the mansion is regarded as "to. Mt.

Vernon, Arlington, and Monticello, and approaching Westover in purity of style and graceful beauty. is deep' in the country in Prince George county, Maryland. It- Is not adjacent to any railroad or near any town. Until the Defense Highway, running from Washington to Annapolis, was recently completed, Belair was not even easily approached by automobile, unless the driver were willing tp plough over earth roads, rutted by generations of ox-carts, many of which still are in use in the neighborhood. It remains as it has been for so many years, a.pleasant, quiet plantation, brooding in the southern Maryland sunshine.

Farming is carried on as on adjoining farms and In the pastures and paddocks are to be found horses of much the same stamp as Gallant Fox, Itelair has international associations in connection with its horse- brfeeding. Gallant Fox is the son of Sir Galahad, a French horse, himself descended from the extraordinary Flying Fox, widely known on tho Continental His dam is Marguerite, a filly of the great, horse Celt. Sir Galahad was purchased in France by Mr. Woodward with Marshall Field, A. B.

Hancock and R. A. Fairbairn participating as a syndicate and brought to Eclair where Gallant Fox was foaled. He was but one of several Belair horses having international backgrounds. Samuel Ogle, governor of the -proprietary, of, Maryland in 1731, brought to Belair fie famous Spark, one of the greatest equine aristocrats of colonial racing days.

Spark was the gift to the governor from Lord Baltimore, who, in turn had been given the thoroughbred by Prince Frederick, father of George III, king of England. Spark sired an important line of fast animals, House is Georgian Colonial Belair is noted for governors and race horses, both of which have been produced in Maryland in considerable numbers. This is said of the governors because, since Maryland became a state there has been a tradition that no governor should succeed himself and years' no governor did. This meant an unusually large number of governors in the history of the free state for the term was. but two years at one time.

The present governor, Albert C. Ritchie, was the first ever to succeed himself in the free state's history. He not only succeeded himself but broke the broken precedent and now is serving his consecutive term. Benjamin Tasker is the first important Marylander identified-with the Manor of His. Isister, Anne; Governor Samuel Ogle and Mr.

Tasker presented Belair to the couple as a-'weddi'rig gift. It then consisted of 3,600 acrijs and the mansions which waa one bf the most pretentious in the proprietary. Since, it has been added to. Belair is of brick, now mellowed by age to the color of an old blood stain. There is a large central portion, rectangular in shape, with wings extending symmetrically from either side.

The architecture follows the best Georgian colonial. There is, on the entrance side, the small, uncanopied- welcome porch, characteristic of old Maryland houses but no other veranda or portico, This facade is of quiet dignity. The small-paned windows are evenly set in white trim and the delicate classic cornice and dormers are white. Vines climb the checkered brick wall and cluster over window, lintels and the wide entrance door. On the garden 'side are terraces shaded by many ancient trees and flanked by beds of the flowers of an old-fashioned pleasance.

Away and beyond stretch the siiniling fields in long undulations to the forests beyond. Leading up to the enir-ance front, focusing exactly on the doorway, is one of the most famous avenues in country. It Is of tulip poplars some 90 feet high. Trees and horses are the chief hobbies of Mr. Woodward, who commands the attention of trie best tree surgeons to protect the health of this' avenue, as well as the other trees on, the place; Long line-of Racing Enthusiasts Governor Ogle fenced 600; acres in his time for a deer park and stocked it with fallow deer.

George Washington stocked the smaller deer park at Mt. Vernon with deer from Belair and to this day Mr. Woodward has the original letter written 'by the Virginia planter tho Maryland governor thanking him. It waul Governor Ogle who built the first Belair stables and laid out the and their fame soon spread throughout the colonies. The governor thought so much of horses that he built the stables beside the front walk; of his town house in Annapolis, where his duties required him be a part of the time, so that from his drawing room he could watch the animals.

It is an. interesting thing that Mr. Woodward, the present owner of Belair, 1ms art equal enthusiasm. For example, he thinks so much of horses that ho finds Prince Georges county grass not good enough for them. He imports bluegrass hay J'rom Kentucky.

Mr. Woodward prefers horses to automobiles. Ho has even gone so far as to drive his coach and four all th6 way from New, York to Belair, The old families of Maryland were closely connected by marriage and the names of several lords of Maryland manors are associated with the house. Governor Lloyd Lowrides lived at Bolair, Governor Bladen, Governor Ogle, and Governor Oden Bowie. The Magruders also are associated, Woodward's grandmother was a MagrudeiY All were horse-loving people.

At Governor Bowie's neighboring plantation, Falrvlew, another' famous stable was conducted. Such horses as Dickens, Crickmore, Compensation and Oreknob were bred at Fair view and Governor Bowie's colorsi were known on practically Jn the country. General Lee was one of the 'best horses recently bred at Belair, He War Cloud out of Nancy Lee and won huge stakes. He was expected to win the 1927 Futurity at Belmont Park but was nosed out by Scapa Flow, eon of Man War, But he sires s'omo great horses and brought a lot of money to the Belair stables. Then there is The Scout III, another Woodward horse, wjtiich ran in the Derby Epsom.

Downs in England, the other day and looked good at the start but was overtaken by fatigue arid the field. So Galiiant Fox upholds an old tradition has further enriched the annals of Belair.

WITHOUT STOPP1N' FOR BREATH Despite dislike for him in many quarters, considerable lack of confidence in him, an expression of ridicule not infrequent, despite many things he favors' which do not accord with the views of common sense, there is such a proportion of right in his policies, or at any rate such a firm and unstrad- deling stand by him for his policies, that ho has appealed to enough voters to put him out in front over one candidate, Francis Shunk Brown, who refrained from standing for anything but being nominated by the orders, political manipulation, patronage and club persuasion of an organization which with its methods, is antiquated; and over pnother candidate, Thomas W.

The Department of Agriculture through the Poultry Division of the Bureau of Animal Husbandry says that in order to get more eggs there should be more laying hens-and it required the combined resources of governmental bureau and a division to figure all that out. And that is probably wrong, The thing that is needed is a little educational work among the hens we have. If the hens now on the hoof would-'pay a little more attention to their jobs there would be no egg shortage. The plain truth of the matter is that with this talk of 1 feminine emancipation and such like, hens have become stuck up and they won't work. They want to live their own lives and such.

A little common sense would be better than a lot more of the same kind of hens that we now have. Scientists are trying to locate the center of the universe.

It's a great world. We just said "effete" East.
