The amount of the award is not determined until the person on whom the honor is to ferred has been selected When it was voted to Elihu Root in December, 1926, for his work in| helping found the World Court, it was fixed at §25,000. There has been no selection for the peace award since that occasion. That Col. Lindbergh's service during the past year has been signally brilliant and of public value, few persons will question. The title GoedsWill Ambassador was nof bestowed on idly. His eve act has tended to confirm his ‘right to wear it. True in becoming the world’s premier long-distance flyer, in his mo: secent exploits, he h earned for himself firs place in the hearts of the people of the world. Possibly no other man has ever been so decor-| ated, loved, praised and hailed as the conqueror of the trackless spaces of the air. His personal triumph in the year since he winged his over the storm-tossed waters of the Atlantic Ocean to Paris is the greatest of any individual in mod- ern times, - Through it all he has been a modest, unasuming American youth, a virile, sensible and altogether manly representative of his race and nation. If these things count for public service,| certainly his has been notable.

(New York Times,) When the Senate really gets down to business of legislation it can dispose of an numerable grist of bills without making fuss—or any headlines. Calendar Monday this serious occasion is called, and the proceedings of the last one filled nearly sixty pages of the Con- gressional Record From a bill for a bridge across the arm of Lake Memphremagog, Vermont, to a discus; of the pa of immigration offi- Ccers was gamut of local legislation duly re- ported in the newspapers 'of regions affected, but, ide from that, not reported at all. The casual reader might have thought next morning that Senate had been idling; to the contrary, it had set an example of diligence and dispatch. The Board of Directors of any corporation in country would find a study of those pages the Record—2,619 to 2,673 ry interesting. there w a few signs of *logrolling,” were very few; and on the other hand there indications of vigilance to prevent the pas- sage of unworthy bills, Senator King af Utah and Senator Bratton of New Mexico were par- ticularly active in this respect; no legislative touchdowns were made through them, and n- Robinson of Arkansas, in his capacity as | minority leader, was hacking up the front line defense, The bills dealt with all forms of public works and generally with what are called “relief bills,”” the petition of some one for com- pensation or restitution from the Government. These were the measu which were subjected to closest scrutiny, for it is a hard-hearted Senator indeed who refuses to introduce relief |bills for constituents; and against these most loften arises the watchdog's honest bark. Senator Swanson of Virginia and Senator King had a long debate about whether to reimburse a woman | pestmaster in Virginia whose till was robbed by burglar while she was at luncheon. Was the drawer locked at all, or locked insecurely? Mr. MeNary of Oregon pleaded for an amend- ment to a measure which would substitute the correct word, ‘“neat,”” for the incorrect word, meat,” in the text of a law passed in 1926 This expands the statute in no other direction?” asked Mr. King cautiously, and, upon assurance, the typographical error was corrected by due process of law. In omne report on a public build- ings authorization increase from $100,000,000 to $200,000,000, Senator Robinson of Arkansas found the maximum printed as “$2,000,000,000” in a committee report, but he was informed that this were merely another trick of the types. Very little politics, except the self-perpetuat- ing instinet for getting local bills passed, is dis- cernible in these Calendar Mondays.

New Hope tor the Elders. (Manchester hate us youth cried Falstaff as he the Gadshill travelers—and perhaps that will be the ery of the younger sort when |they hear of the gift of £200,000 which has been made to Chicago University for the express purpose of encouraging medical research into the best ways of ‘‘prolonging the life of persons of middle and old age.” For the terms of the gift lay it down as an axiom that the later years of life mepresent the time “‘when the intelligence is at its highest and its value to the community the greatest”—which is certainly a doctrine that as been hotly contested ever since active tad- poles were to be distinguished from lethargic frogs, and never more hotly, among human kind, than in the years which have followed the Great War. “You that are old consider not the capaci- ties of us that are young”—that (to quote the shameless Falstaff again) has been the endless cry of the hungry generations, and some have thought that the warning *“Too old at forty” had raised it to the dignity of a national creed in America. It geems to be rather significant news that the country which coined that par- ticular message should now seek to extend lives as far as possible beyond the forty mark on the ground that intelligence ripens as the shadows lengthen. We do not know whether any physiological results will come of these handsome- 1y endowed researches (one way of prolonging quite a number of lives in Chicago would be to put down the gunmen and assassins), but on the spiritual side the middle-aged and elderly are already the better for this tribute to their intellectual powers. “Is not every part about you blasted with antiquity?"” said the scandalized Lord Chief Justice when Falstaff sought to in- clude himself among the represemtatives of high- spirited youth.
