CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTCN (Official City, State and County Newspaper) TOO MANY LAWS F It has been repeater clared, without any attempt at contradiction, that 0 ‘idden nation on earth.

The people are quite well in- formed on the tendency of congress to pass numerous measures. The unfortunate phase of the latter-day development t with more laws there is less law enforcement. Despite the cnergy devoted to the mak- ing of statutes, there is greater disregard of such laws nal history. Laws have become 60 le that their enforcement is im- of lawmaking 1s t than ever in our nat: numerous and so f Possible. The numerous restrictions which are thrown about the people by law, many of them of a petty character, are easily disregarded, sometimes unintentionally, and the result is that laws which are necessary for the orderly conduct of society are brought into disrepute. Unneces- sary laws cause disrespect for all laws. Out of the multitude of statutes, prosecuting officers and police officials must undertake to enforce only those that seem most important or those that happen to receive special publicity. The mass of federal, state and municipal statutes die before they are known. The American Bar association and a number of state bar associations have gone on record as in favor of @ reform in the matter of legislation, but as long as legis- Jators hold to the view that they must do something in rder to further their political fortunes, rather than render a real service to the public, there is not likely *so be much change. FEMALE AUTOBIOGRAPHIES Woman, it is observed, is beginning to tell all. In literature and art she seems to have lifted a corner of the veil behind which she has through the ages hidden her innermost self. But when, and if, woman tells all, there is a certain type of man about which the world has long been curious and which only woman can explain. It is not a new type and not a few women have been qualified to speak with authority on the subject, yet society is as much in the dark today as it was when the type first made its appearance. ‘The sort of man here in mind is the prince charming, the Jancsi Rigos, the Valentinos, the Beau Brummels and the others of that ilk. What fascination (missing in other men) is theirs that captured so many feminine hearts? What charm had they that they could reverse the usual order and become the idols of feminine wor- ship instead of the worshipers of feminine idols? Men, in books, pictures and sculpture, have through the ages been ready and willing to tell all they knew about the charm of woman, “the bloom that is on a woman.” Masculine charm has been largely left to speak for it- self, through mere outward results, because the prince charmers have been averse to talking about themselves and the victims of their charms have jealously guarded their amours from profane cyes and cars. But perhaps the secret will out, now that woman in such large num- bers are writing autobiographies, diaries, memoirs and other more or less personal letters. te trasenmeaan WHY FLYING IS SAFER The following paragraph, lifted from the story of a reporter who recently traveled from Los Angeles to New York by the air-rail hookup of Transcontinental Air Transport and the Santa Fe and Pennsylvania railroads, tells as well as anything can the way in which airways fare being made safe for passengers. “Weather reports,” writes the reporter, “told us there were storms between Winslow, Ariz., and Albuquerque. We took off anyway, but our two pilots talked with ground stations ahead and behind us by radio, and knew just where all the storms were. So we simply flew around them. . . . the Albuquerque weather report told of three storms converging to the eastward, so we had to detour again, but we sped around them quickly in the midst of lightning and rain and reached Clovis, N. M, before dark, which the pilot had not expected to do.” In a few words, that paragraph tells how flying has passed the hit-or-miss stage and has made safety certain. AVIATION’S REAL SERVICE ‘While endurance flyers circle over airports, transatlan- tic flyers spin off over the sca and other spectacular stunters go about their tasks, the rank and file of avia- tion. continues with the ordinary, unexciting tasks that are making aviation valuable to the people as a whole.

The | | heroes of the novelist of other days who had beards to | wave from a thousand hilltops stand out in the memory } because there is something of personality in a beard that | |is not exhibited by the smooth face. Bards and beards go together. | | Is not the beard a proclamation of virility and |strength? Especially, now that ladies bob their hair, | Wear musculine attire and cultivate the mannish swag- | ger, making it highly important that some new method | j of determining sex be evolved. The beard would serve | | such a purpose admirably, for as yet the ladies, with the , | exception of those few on exhibition in circus sideshows, have not found a way to raise a beard. | However, this seems to be taking an advantage of | | those beardless young men who strive so manfully to be | masculine and virile and of those feminists who are so discontented with their sex they affect the mannerisms | of masculinity even to the manicure. FASHION IN NAMES | | Fashion rules in names as it does in dress, in architec- ture and in popular songs. It was with the purpose of | studying these changing fashions that a New York paper compiled a list of names from the catalogues of four women’s colleges, Bryn Mawr, Smith, Wellesley and Vas- sar. When compared with earlier names from older | catalogues of the same colleges, it was found that the general trend has been toward simpler or “old-fashioned” names. Marys and Ruths predominate where they were once Kathleens and Carolines. Or if Anita and Muriel | appear it is found by their address that they are from out-of-the-way regions, where “proper form” in nam- | | ing is still unknown. | Nor are the whims of fashion confined to girls’ names; | boys cannot escape when the name of some popular hero is on everybody's tongue. The popularity of a president | might be gauged by the number of his namesakes. But that a child should be named for the hero of a “best seller” is carrying the matter too far. Yet a recent writer admits that his own name “Elmo” was taken from a novel of Augusta J, Evans, “St. Elmo,” at the suggestion of a sentimental aunt. The name, he says, is not un- common among those whose birth year is in the ncigh- borhood of 1868. He knew 14 of them. A PENNANT THAT DOESN’T EXIST You probably have read recently that the Mauretania has had to haul down the blue pennant. emblem of the speed championship of the Atlantic, and that the new champion, the Bremen, has hoisted it. That's all very well, but if you hapnen to visit the Bremen, now or in the future, don't ask to see that Pennant. You'll only get laughed at. There isn't any such thing. The “blue pennant,” famous as it is, is non-existent. It is, in its way, like the raspberry, which is eften given toa man, but which never takes any tangible form. The lucky ship that has it is very proud of it—but this cherishod flag. nevertheless, is one that never flutters from any masthead. The main trouble with the girl of today is she refuses to act like the girl of yesterday. Those looking forward instead of backward see what's coming first. A true neutral is one who realizes that both sides are lying. | Editorial Comment | PEIPING—AND WHY | | | | necessa Top: Sometimes I wonder if all the fuss- ing with all the lotions in the world docs any good, other than the fun of creams, and verbent | What Better ‘Yard dred items.

When | the Nationalists spread to the north and carried their Peace to the ancient capital, they changed its name, as | Peking signifies “northern capital Peiping imeans “northern peace.” So that, for the time being, is that. i But the city which has for so long been known to ihe | western world as Peking has had many names in its | time. When the Khitan Tartars captured it about 1,000 years ago and found it convenient as a southern head- quarters, they called it Nanking—“southern capital.” ; About 100 years r it was recaptured by the Chinese ; and degraded to a provincial city under the name of | Yen-shan Fu. When the Kin Tartars arrived in the | middle of the 12th century, they made it a royal resi- | dence and called it Chung-tu, “central capital.” Geng- | hiz Khan, when he came, saw and conquered, refused to move his court there, but his great successor, Kublia Khan, rebuilt the town, which he called Yenking. It then became known to the Chinese as Ta-tu, “great court,” and to the Mongols as Khanbalik—westernized | as Cambaluc—“City of the Khan.” ‘There is a certain story telling logic in these changes of name, as there is in the most recent, from “northern capital” to “northern peace.” It is akin to the urge which moved the Russians during the war to rid St. Petersburg of its Germanic resonance by altering it to Peirograd and later to call it Leningrad, in honor of the father of revolutionary Russia. Or which moves ihe residents of Hickville to change the name of their town to Pleasant View. KEEPING ON THE MAP (Indianapolis Times) At first thought, it may seem to make little difference whether the new air mail route between St. Louis and New York goes through this city and Columbus or by the way of Evansville and Cincinna’ dn the early days of railroads, many communities thought the same way about the routings of the rails.

SZ AAA ASS CiSesouead eeuus/pepueus BATTLE OF THERMOPYLE ‘Twenty-four hundred and nine years ago today, on August 7, 480 B. C., the battle of Thermopyle was fought in the famous pass leading from Thes- saly into Locris. When the Persian monarch, Xerxes, approached Greece with an immense army, King Leonidas I and 300 Spar- tans went to occupy the narrow pass of Thermopyle, which lay between the sea and Mount Callidromus. For two days, the Greeks success- fully resisted the overwhelming force of the Persians and frustrated every attempt to force the pass. At the end of the second day’s conflict, a Thes- salian named Ephialtes went to the | Persian camp and gave information of a secret pass across the moun- tains the Greeks had neglected to oc- cupy. At dawn the following day Leon- idas learned that the Persians were pouring across the mountains to at- tack his army from the rear. Then Leonidas gathered his 300 Spartans, together with their attend- ants about him, and prepared to de- fend his post. In the fierce fight that ensued, Leonidas himself soon fell, but the remaining Grecks retreated to a hillock near the road and made their last stand. They fell, fighting toa man, The pass of Thermopyle, in ancient times, was only 50 feet wide, but the alluvial deposits have altered the coast line so that there is now a broad swampy plain from a mile and a half to three miles broad.

It is one of the best ways for adults to continue the joy of playing a healthful sport. Swimming seers an especially good exercise for women who should all learn to swim for beauty, for health, and for pleasure. Swimming tends to flatten the ab- domen and tone up the abdominal or- gans. Itis splendid for the arms, neck, shoulders and chest. The vig- orous kicking used in some of the strokes will also have a normalizing effect on too heavy hips. Swimming has been enjoyed from the earliest times, and we have rec- ords that show us there were swim- ming instructors who gave the an- cient Egyptians swimming lessons in the waters of the Nile. There is an old Egyptian relief showing a man using an overhand stroke, alternat- ing the arms, so we can he reasonably sure that the “crawl” which is known as a modern stroke is really about three thousand years old. The Assyrians used skins ballooned up with air similar to the way we use water wings today. On an ancient Egyptian vase is found the picture of a woman swimming, using the over- hand stroke, with her chest turned to the side in the same way that we turn our bodies today when using this stroke. z Leander, one of the most famous romantic swimmers in history, is pic- tured in an Afri mosaic with his feet in a crawl position, and employ- ing the overhand stroke. It is easy ‘to teach children the art of swimming, particularly if the child is plump and energetic. Even ‘one- year-old children can sometimes be taught to swim in the bathtub. This gives them a healthful exercise while taking their bath. One of the interesting phases of this sport is that no one is ever too old to learn it. We have some no- torious examples of swimmers over sixty years old who have taken up swimming often in order to reduce, and have become very fine long dis- tance swimmers. Women are generally conceded to have the better structural form for swimming, due to the natural layer of fat distributed under a woman's skin all over her body, which gives her the distinctive feminine curves. She is more smoothly made th.n a man, and more like a seal, is able to slip gently and quickly through the water. (More about swimming tomorrow) QUESTIONS AND-ANSWERS Splitting N Question: H. G.
