HTS DEMAGIGLES Dr. L. K. Anspacher Says Education Can Prevent Social Disaster. America must educate against po- litical and social disaster, Dr, Louis K. Anspacher of New York told the Washington Town Hall Forum at the Shoreham Hotel last night, The speaker minced no words in stating the national issue as he vi- sioned it. “On the one hand,” he said, “we have 22,000,000 people on relief, and, on the other, we have Senator Long, Father Coughlin, Dr. Townsend and Upton Sinclair. If we don't wish democracy to be wrecked, we must educate the masses. How can the majority of the voters be right when they are ignorant?” Dr. Anspacher’s theme was “The Status of Culture in the United States,” and to illustrate his subject he cited the career of Goethe, the great German poet and philosopher. Declaring that “Goethe represents what the human mind is capable of achieving,” he stressed the need for “a detached, impersonal, prophetic but all-inclusive point of view.” Culture No Veneer. “Mental habitudes are the source of real culture,” he said, “and the cul- tivated mind is the organized mind that brings latent powers to light. Our modern fragmentation of thought gives us an undigested table d’hote of ideas. Goethe believed in living in totality and taught that all philosophy must be loved and lived. He desired knowledge as a power for life and de- plored the notion that culture should be & mere veneer, a mere polish. “Our real American tragedy is our ambition unrelated to capacity. I know dozens of men who would make first-rate plumbers who are wrecking their lives trying to be tenth-rate lawyers. ‘America, like all democracies, believes in environment and thinks that only accident makes a distinction between Abraham Lin- coln and a bootblack—but that is nonsense. Questioned By Studebaker. John W. Studebaker, United States | commissioner of education, chairman | of the meeting, opened the general discussion, in which a panel consist- ing of Dr. Frederick J. Kelley, office of education; Dr. Robert D. W. Con- nor, archivist; W. W. Waymack, asso- ciate editor Des Moines Register and Tribune; Dr. W. Boyd Carpter, Georgetown University, and Prof. Charles C. Tansill, American Univer- sity, took part. It was Studebaker who framed the question that brought forth Dr. An- spacher’s reference to the peril of democracy. “Does not the illiteracy of some 64,000,000 Americans consti- tute a danger to the Nation?” he asked. The speaker's answer, indi- cating demagoguery, was warmly ap- plauded by the audience. “Educa- tion,” he insisted, “is a necessity for the Nation and also for constructive | internationalism. But we shall have to rewrite history; we shall have to | teach our children a little less about Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar and a little more about Christ and Plato!” “STUNT FLYER KILLED AS 10,000 WATCH Clifton Tribble's Machine Goes Into Power Dive 500 Feet From Earth. By the Assoclated Press. MONTGOMERY, Ala., March 18.— Before approximately 10,000 horrified spectators, Clifton Tribble, 32, of Owenshoro, Ky. noted stunt fiyer, went into a power dive at 500 feet directly in front of the grandstand at Municipal Airport yesterday afternoon and hurtled to his death. A last ‘minute effort to “bail out” was frustrated when his parachute fouled in the tail rudder. Carrying out the tradition that the | ghow must go on,” Clem Sohn, sen- sational “bat flyer” went aloft 10,000 feet and jumped with his “bird suit” of silk wings and webbing between his legs. He circled, looped and glided downward for more than 8,000 feet before releasing his parachute and landing safely. Just before he crashed, Tribble had thrilled the crowd with his “outside loop” and had leveled off at about 500 feet. Flyers said that his controls evi- dently jammed in the power dive or had been broken in the outside loop stunt. TALK SERIES TO OPEN Bociety of Sons of American Revo- lution to Hear Scoutmaster. ‘The District of Columbia Society of the Sons of the American Revolution will initiate a new program at its March meeting Wednesday at 8 pm. in the Mayflower Hotel.

RTHUR HARNETT, president of the Washington Hotel Men's Association, was asked what hotel men did if they chanced upon a guest in the act of ab- sorbing some trifling article of silver- ware, or bric-a-brac, an eight-day clock of a pair of blankets: “With true delicacy,” Mr. Harnett said, “the good hotel man turns his back and affects not to see the deed lest the guest be embarrassed. That is the etiquette of the business. | “It has always been a sort of | gratification to hotel men when they reflect upon the hundreds of happy homes they have helped to beautify and the many festive boards through- out the land adorned with linen and flashing silverware inscribed with the | names of our illustrious hotels.” This is the tribute of the hotel to home, sweet home. s BIG TABLE, IN THE Pan-American Building, in the Hall of Nations, is an oval table of solid mahogany.

HOSE beachcombers you read about who dig treasure out of resort sands have their ccunter- part in Washington. Four or five times a year the 16 street car plat- forms in the Capital are removed for some public occasion. An average of 50 to 75 cents in coins and car tokens is found under each platform at each removal. Workmen on the job are permitted to keep what they find and they usually pool the amount of currency among them. * K ok % APARTMENT BELLE. ND here’s an item for Mr. and Mrs. Apartment Manager’s note- book. Put it down for a lean | day. A young man from Arizona came to Washington and was looking around at apartments. This was before va- cant ones became so few and far be- tween. He surveyed a parlor, bed room and kitchenette in the north- west section that looked like a sure bet—except that the rent made his | pay check look a bit thin. He had just about decided to turn his steps elsewhere when the apart- ment manager took him into the ga- rage. There he noticed a car bearing an Arizona license. “Who belongs to that?” he asked the house manager. “That car belongs to a young lady who came here not long ago to work for the Government. She’s really not a bit bad for the eyes, either. If your State can produce ‘em like that you've got something to write home about.” Smart manager. Well, the young man from Arizona took the apartment. 5 * ok ok ok IT'S ON THE MAP. OW'S your geography? close you can come to enswering this one.

GOING OR COMING? OBERT GOINGS is said to be the double of theAttorney General. Mr. Goings is reminded of this almost daily. People passing on the street say, “How do you do, Mr. Cummings?” “I'm not Cummings,” Mr. Goings tells them, “I'm Goings.” Exasperated, Mr. Goings confided to a friend: “Half the time, I don't know whether I'm Goings or Cums mings.” Plows Up 1797 Coin.
