Tragedy and sorrow jurk in the most unsuspected places. For the majority of accidents that result in death or injury there is no bona fide excuse. Within the last ten days ten North Dakota persons have died violently. Five of them were the victims of carelessness. Five were victims of an act of God. Near Kensal a mother and son decided to call on neighbors living across the James river. ‘They had a safe vehicular bridge to cross. But it was shorter to span the river via a railway bridge. They knew the danger they faced of being trapped by a train, for they stopped to look back. There was no train in sight. But tthe impossible happened. A train came around a hill, killed the mother. Just another chalk mark on the charter of foolhardiness. Near Watford City a 23-year-old youth on horseback was rounding up cattle. One animal had strayed across Cherry creek, its current made swift by recent rains. The horse stepped in a hole, threw the youth into the stream. He drowned. He didn’t know how to swim. His life would not have been a forfeit had he been | 5, taught to handle his body in water. At Bowdon an unthinking 18-year-old girl picked up a kerosene can to prime the fire in the kitchen range. The kerosene fumes ex- ploded, fatally burned her. Someone was care- less in not teaching her the danger of handling explosive fluids near fires. , In Langdon a former bank clerk climbed into a boxing ring. For three gruelling rounds of violent physical exercise he held his own with his opponent. With less than a minute left he suddenly collapsed, died instantly. His heart, attuned to a sedentary life, could not stand up under the unusual physical strain. He was negligent, as were the fight promoters. This sad incident illustrates the value of phys-|" ical fitness, the need of regular physical check- ups. : In his home. at Larson an aged man was examining his cistern. He strained himself lifting the cover off. He fainted, plunged into the cistern, drowned. He had built that cistern flush with the floor. It was a yawning, ever present death trap for the careless of foot. Near Lisbon a young man stood in the door of his farm barn watching an electrical storm. A bolt of lightning killed him instantly, Across northwestern North Dakota a tornado swept, killed four persons. Of course, these ill-fated five might have escaped had they been some other place, but they were victims of an act of God, not foolhardiness, not lack of physical ability, not carelessness, not negligence, not ills of the flesh. Time is valuable, but human life is our most precious asset. A few minutes of walking, a few hours of swimming, a few words of eau- tion, a few weeks of training and a few hours of labor would have saved the lives of a mother, a rancher, a daughter, a boxer, a father. Tomorrow is the Fourth of July, a day of patriotic observance and one on which the death toll caused by carelessness customarily runs into the hundreds. If all those slated for death tomorrow would only stop and think, bal- ance the foolish act or the minute saved against oblivion, the post-holiday death list would be materially reduced. Annual Summer Warning This being the season of the year when bathing beaches and the old-fashioned swimming hole are doing an overtime business, a repetition of those annual words of caution to bathers might not come amiss. The cautionary words are few and simple. Don't go into the water for at least an hour after eating; don’t go out beyond your depth unless you are an expert swim- mer; don’t dive into any pool without first ascertaining the depth; don’t swim when overheated or overtired; al- ways find out in advance if there are any treacherous currents or undertows in the water where you plan to bathe. All of these little rules can be summed up more simply in the admonition: use common sense. Every summer week-end brings its reports of drown- ings at bathing places. Nearly all of these tragedies could be avoided if bathers used proper care. One of the finest of summer sports, swimming need not be danger- ous Hae swimmer meerciees reasonable forethought. for Diplomats and Army Officers .. . Joe Aches to Loose His Sunday Punch at Huey’s Eye .. . Capital Has New Crime Cure—It’s Let ‘Em Gamble, Washington, July 3—The period of taxation maneu- vers, counter-maneuvers, trick plays, feints, and about- faces has added greatly to the ranks of those inhabi- tants here who stand firmly convinced that they are living in what is technically known as a bughouse. The kindest friends of the administration wish you would blame it all on the notorious local heat. Low-minded persons who always like to see the privileged classes get a kick in the pants are, however, enjoying a couple of developments on the side which give some promise of making capital life more bearable through a redistribution of its burdens. Congressman Raymond Cannon of Wisconsin is un- dertaking to add an element of misery to the lives of the foreign diplomats here and Congressman Steve Young of Ohio has a diabolical scheme aimed at the army officers. see JUST A BOWL OF CHERRIES These two groups are the envy of us all. Having little to do beyond polo, golf, tennis, and an occasional few turns in a swivel chair, they're always invited to the best parties. They're the only fellows who have time to {go and the only ones who have time to change their # | clothes. Furthermore, their clothes never get mussy, s0 they seldom have to change—an obvious item of unfair com- petition. Diplomats would be the especial victims of Congress- man Cannon’s bill, which provides heavy taxes on the wealth of citizens (male or female) who marry aliens. The tax would run from 10 per cent on all fortunes over $100,000 to 25 per cent on fortunes above $500,000. All over the world, one hears, Washington is looked upon as a happy fish-pond for young diplomats whose careers require an heiress in the family. The numerous heiresses who make their debuts here would think twice about that tax, Cannon believes, and the young diplo- mats would be so handicapped that even young con- gressmen might have a look-in. eee WOULD THIS BE TOUGH! ‘Young's bill would make army and navy officers on duty in Washington wear uniforms all day long. They wear civilian clothes now and in that disguise, Young crcl flood the capital's cocktail lounges and country clubs, Says Young: “My bill would reveal all the loafing among them. Civilians would be amazed and taxpayers outraged when they saw the hundreds of officers in uni- form. They would insist that the officers be ordered into active service.” eee HOLD THAT LINE, JOE! For years, Senate Majority Leader Joe Robinson has been privately assuring his friends that he would like to take a sock at Huey Long. This yen comes on Joe in Joe on the senate floor. Robinson’s candidacy for the. U. 8. supreme court requires a certain dignity and he thus far has held off. But the day may be approaching. ‘When Roosevelt's soak-the-rich tax message was be- ing read, Huey eased over, put his arm around his ancient enemy's shoulder, and asked: “How do ya like it, Joe?” “Go ’way from me, or I'll black your eye!” growled Joe, who didn’t like it at all. But Huey just laughed and repeated the perform- ance a bit later, with: “How’s it goin’ now, Joe?” “Lay off me, or I'll black both your eyes!” hissed Robinson, gathering himself as if about to spring. ie Huey just kept on laughing. But he didn’t come eee LET THE BONES ROLL If Roosevelt backed up the men who run the affairs of the District of Columbia, the capital would have legal- ized gambling. Both District Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen and Police Chief Ernest W. Brown have agreed with Con- gressman William Schulte of Indiana, during an inves- tigation of local lawlessness, that much of the crime problem here might be solved by legalization of gambling —which is now the chief business of Washington's un- derworld. “Human nature being what it is,” explained Hazen.

Earth’s Greatest Iris Field (New York Herald-Tribune) ‘When Linnaeus gave the iris the name of the mes- senger of gods he was probably thinking more of the rainbow’s violet bar than of the charming flower’s gift for getting about, yet all the exploration which followed his day has served to prove that iris is almost every- where—circumboreal and circumtemperate, as Dr. John K. Small, of the New York Botanical Gardens, says. Not only has she put an iridescent “girdle round about the earth,” but ‘the family is also one of the most ancient that survive, its traces having been found by paleobot- anists in Upper Cretaceous strata; even in such deposits from Arctic regions. And, none the less, whole fields of the most interesting and beautiful irises in the world are being destroyed today. While our nurseries produce ever finer cultivated varieties, the wild ones—native American irises—have in some cases been exterminated by the draining and filling in of the low, moist lands which once they covered with “solid purple” every spring. Those of Louisiana, considered by specialists to be the greatest wild iris garden on earth, are beset by real estate developments, and there is no telling how many native ‘species have been driven from our own state. Many New Yorkers who were born on farms blessed with watered hollows can remember the abundance of wild dwarf irises that today are found only in collections, Not too late to save them, it is to be hoped, cham- pions are appearing for at least the irises of Louisiana. Dr. Small has come writing to the rescue with learned ardor, and Frank M. Carroll, of New Orleans, is engaged in non-commercial experimental work to naturalize and distribute these famous but threatened beauties of the Mississippi delta and the southern swamps. He will sell Trootstocks to but one person in each stete, and this on condition that the purchaser correspond with him as to the progress of the attempted naturalization. To properly serious garden clubs he gives roots free, with the same proviso. Of the two hundred varieties, or more that grow wild in Louisiana, he has sixty thousand irises in his experimental plantings, on a remnant of the old Bayou Sauvage. This remarkable collection includes an almost pink iris. In the matter of color, too, we see nowadays that Linnaeus was more apt than he could know, for although of the many shades of iris none attains a true red or blue, they do include the color dictionary’s lilac, red- lac, red-purple, red-violet, pink-lilac and rosy-lilac, while iris fulva shows an orange. close to red. Until 1929 no one knew that America, like France, had a native yellow iris, and even now, though four have been discov- ered in southern Louisiana, they remain rare and eagerly hunted. “Recent exploratioris,” ‘writes Dr. Small, “have brought to light a really startling scale of colors.” More pity, then, that more than 80 per cent of those iris lands of the lower Mississippi -delta—“the most spec- known.

Not only are several additional “New Deal” agencies preparing to fight for their lives when the court reassembles next fall, but the whole trend of legislative developments speaks of a dominating role for the judicial branch during the next two years. Every day congress hears argu- ments whether this or that pending bill will pass muster at the bar of the highest tribunal. As a matter of fact, prior notice already has been given that almost every one of the administration measures now before congress will be hailed into court as soon as it becomes operative. It all points toward elevation of the court to a level of prominence and prestige «ven higher than that reached in the gold and NRA deci- sions. Both the president and con- gress may find it far more difficult than formerly to keep in the spot- light. ee % ‘Women’s Remarks ‘Too Strong!’ The latest chapter of the Long- a! Overton case illustrates once more how bewildering senate procedure can be to a layman. Since 1932, sworn charges have been pending that John H. Overton was nominated for the senate in Louisiana by fraudulent means, with the help of Senator Huey P. Long. In the interim Long has addressed the senate on many occasions. He has called his enemies all sorts of names, and accused a long list of in- dividuals of nigh crimes and mis- demeanors. His remarks are clothed with immunity, of course. Now comes the women’s commit- tee of Louisiana, citing the constitu- tional right of petition, accusing the senate of having “whitwashed” Long and Overton, and asking why action has not been taken, one way or the other, on the charges against them. Senatorial indignation rises. The Petition is handed around. A senator who happens to be a celebrated law- yer is consulted. He says: “I am in grave doubts whether the senate can properly receive this Paper. It contains statements which reflect seriously on senators. Some of these statements are positively scurrilous!” * * % House Felt Slighted There was far more than ay behind the house flareup over the Proposal to have the president's tax- the-rich program tacked on to the Pending excise tax bill in the senate. Since the house customarily does not take itself nearly so seriously as the senate, the protestations that all revenue legislation must originate in the house, under the constitution, sounded a little hollow. In practice, it is quite the ordinary thing for the senate to amend tax bills. The real story is that various in- fluential house members are nursing & feeling that the house has been getting the worst of it steadily under the administration program. They complain that house roll calls have been used as trial balloons; and that mentary “dirty work” to do, the house has been asked to take the lead. They felt the tax-the-rich plan would be popular with important sections of the voting «public, and that there was no reason why the senate should get the credit, and the house left to play the role of a ditto mark. In short, while the constitution was a talking-point, practical poli- tics undoubtedly had much to do with the case.

This. for the moment, was Katharine’s domain. “Silencia” was the fanciful name Evelyn Herbert's friend, Mrs. Houghton, had given te her desert inn. It was informal and charm- ing. There was always enough hot water for baths in the deep coral tub which had been brought from San Francisco five years be- tore; there was delicious tood— hot, spicy meats and crisp green salads; there were gorgeous, blaz- ing sets and blistering noon- tides and purple nights, spangled with stars. At present Mrs. Houghton had only a few guests. Besides Katharine there was 3 tall Englishman who vaguely “wrote.” No one quite knew what. And there were two maiden ‘ladies from Boston who raved about the climate and kept delicate lacy shawis wrapped around their shoulders against the night air, and who read “deep” books and discussed them in cultivated accents over the luncheon table. Katharine felt as one feels whose soul has been tern sad who feels the stitches healing s little. | D ‘The first day after her arrival she had been actually, physically ill.
