From Indiana == Ernie Pyle | A Physician in Ohio Is Breeding | Dogs in an Attempt to Elevate The Standards of the Human Race.

OME, O., July 11.—Dr. James Mcl. Phillips has been raising prize cocker spaniels for 38 years. The dogs born under his | tutelage run into the thousands. He has | had 15 national champions. | For long years Dr. Phillips was a physician in Columbus, He is the inventor of the present system of rabies vaccination, ut nine years ago his practice was suddenly ended blindness. So he moved from the city onto his big farm near this town west of Columbus and took to dogs full-time. He has sold hundreds. His minimum price for a puppy is $25. Last week he turned down $1500 for one of his champions. Dr. Phillips is not merely a dog fancier. He has a higher purpose. He is breeding dogs in an effort to help raise the standards of the

Shirley Temple Tells First Lady Just What to Do for the Camera.

H>x PARK, Sunday.—My grandchildren came home on Friday evening and vesterday was a red

letter day for us all. Mrs. and Mrs Temple brought Shirley picnic. In addition to Shirley. Sis and Buz, we had two children who live on the place, and Mr. and Mrs. George Bve's little niece. Lois Rosenbauer. When I met Shirley in Hollywood last spring, I was impressed by her natural simplicity and charm marvelled at what mother had succeeded in She had kept her a child in spite of having to make her mature in so manv wavs Newspapers, photographers and newsreels werg all anxious to follow the party. but it was evervhodyv's hat, since Shirley was on a holiday. it should be A picnic as possible. Only the Fox whom she is under contract. were allowed shots. T was amused when we walked the first picture to have her tell me just what We should walk she said, “from far back and wave at the camera as we come out.’ When I did not realize that the camera was followche “they are taking us.” and we for a final wave together. After that was over. there was no more preoccupation with pictures The children ate their picnic food with the zest which all children should have outdoor meals. They watched their chops broil and worried over the chance of their burning, for I have never vet mastered the art of removing enough fat to prevent mv charcoal fire from Saming up again as the fat burns, However, the chops seemed to be good. judging from the children’s appetites, Secretarv and Mrs Morgenwho are fond of Shirley, had sent up some of delicious raspberries and that, with the ice cream, seemed to be a very satisfactory dessert.

Wants to Know Where Badge Is

Shirley demanded to know why I did not have on her badge, which she had presented to me in Hollywood, and I reminded her that, while she did give me two, they were meant for Sistie and Buz. Then Sis and Buz had to explain that the badges were at home in Seattle As a sign of her special favor, she handed one of her badges to a gentleman present, who was her willing slave for the afternoon. She informed him if he did not wear it he would have to pay a fine, and if he lost it, an even greater one, and the money all went to Babies’ Milk Fund in Los Angeles.

BENJAMIN N. CARDOZO, Associate Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court, who died Saturday, esteemed as one of the great liberal jurists of his time, owed his long series of appointments to the highest judicial posts of the nation to the joint admiration of liberals and conservatives of the bench and bar and of the political world. Named to cancy created on the nation's high court by the resignation of the Oliver Wendell Holmes, it was significant that neither hefore nor after his taking the bench was any question raised as to the fitness of the succession,

Long before Mr. Holmes died Mr. Cardozo, then chief judge of the Court of Appeals of New York, that state's highest tribunal, was often linked with Mr. Holmes as an outstanding jurist. He was an ardent admirer of Mr. Holmes’ judicial philosophy. He was regarded as one of its ablest exponents. Mr. Cardozo was born in New York City, Mav 24, 1870. When he was 19 he was graduated from Columbia University with highest honors. A year later he received his Master's degree and began the practice of law. It was noteworthy that at that time a professor commented that Mr. Cardozo was writing the purest English since Alexander Hamilton. It was an art which, like that of Mr. Holmes, later lent literary as well as judicial value to his work. Less succinct in his opinions than his predecessor, his writings were characterized by their flawless English and a gifted turn of phrase. = n »

va-

F greater consequence, however, was the jurists attitude law and to judicial His clear statement of principles which guided him in deciding law suits made his opinions and his works on the law standard examples of clear reasoning which were accepted in the most important law schools of the country Most of Mr. Cardozos conclusions on the law are represented in three works published in advance of his becoming a member of the Supreme Court. They are “The Nature of the Judicial Process,” “The Growth of the Law.” and "The Paradoxes of Leral Science.”

In the first named he gave recognition te the often repeated assertion that jurists, even on the Supreme Court, are influenced by tendencies of their lives quite apart from any practice of the “science” of the law. He said: “There is in each of us a stream of tendency, whether you choose to call it philosophy or not, which gives coherence and direction to thought and action. Judges can not escape that current any more than other mortals. All their lives, forces which they do not recognize and cannot name, have been tugging at them. inherited instincts, traditional beliefs, acquired convictions; and the resultant is an outlook on life, a conception of social needs . . . which, when reasons are nicely balanced. must determine where choice must fall.” 2 »n »

ECOGNIZED as one of outstanding scholars of the Supreme Court bench, Mr. Cardozo approached the problems he was obliged to determine with » mind as humble as that attributed to his predecessor. Holmes. Tt was one of his complaints that on the bench he could not determine an issue knowing that he was exactly right He noted at one while an engineer could

bridge across a stream knowing that it would withstand the stress of torrents beneath it and traffic crossing it, the judge could not have the same assurance in writing a legal opinion. “So I ery out sometimes in rebellion,” he said, “why cannot I do as much, to bridge with my rules of law the torrents of life?

“My bridges are experiments. I cannot span the tiniest stream in a region unexplored by judges and lawgivers before me, and go to rest in the secure belief that the span is wisely laid.” The answer, he added, is that law is not an exact science. But he added that, even though exactness is impossible, it is “not enough to cause the mind to acquiesce in incoherence.”

RIOR to going on the bench. Mr. Justice Cardozo had an active and varied law practice in New York City for 22 years. It was in the fusion movement oi 1913 that he was elected to the Supreme Court of New York County. A Democrat inactive In politics, his candidacy was indorced by the judiciary committee of the Bar Association, and such leading members of the bar as Joseph H. Choate, Henry W. Taft, Louis Marshall, Harlan F. Stone and Henry L. Stimson. The young jurist had been on the bench only a few months when he was named to fill a vacancy on the Court of Appeals. Later he was appointed to the permanent court by Governor Whitman, a Republican. A future election gave him a full term of 14 years in 1917. When the chief judge of that bench retired in 1926, Mr. Cardozo became his successor, In 1927, President Coolidge offered Mr. Cardozo a place on the International Permanent Court of Arbitration at the Hague. He declined it on the plea that it might detract from the performance of his duties in the state court. Charles Evens Hughes and Elihu Root were members of the court then. Agitation for Mr. Cardozo's elevation to the nation’s highest tribunal began in 1929 when he was urged as an appointee to fill the post to which Justice Owen J. Roberts was named

desire to distribute the Court's memberships about the country. A satisfactory candidate was sought in the Southwest particularly. In the meantime the New York State Bar and the entire faculties of Columbia and Yale law schools indorsed Mr. Cardozo. Progressive members of the Senate were reported determined to block any other nomination. Finally on Feb. 15, Mr. Cardozo’s name was sent to the Senate, where the nomination was approved at once. Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and progressives joined in acclaiming the appointment, A month later Mr. Cardozo was sworn in at the age of 61 and took his seat to become one of the Court's most distinguished figures. Small of stature, with a finely carved face and a clear transiucent skin, he seldom spoke during argument of cases, generally leaving the questioning of pleading attorneys to his colleagues. When he did ask a question it was direct and to the point. As often as not it was aimed to help some embarrassed lawyer from a dilemma For the most part he sat quietly with a half amused smile on his face and keen, darting blue eyes. His first opinion, written a month or more after taking his oath, was, significantly, a dissent. During his tenure of office he consistently sided with Justices Louis D. Brandeis and Harlan F. Stone.

MONG the important test cases challenging the validity of New Deal legislation, Mr. Justice Cardozo voted to uphold the “hot oil” section of the NIRA, the gold clause ban, the AAA, the TVA, the Guffey act, the municipal bankruptcy act; the neutrality act, the New York unemployment insurance law; the railroad labor law; the Frazier-Lemke act; the Wagner act and the social security act.

ler's. The only movies he enjoyed were animal pictures. Mr. Cardozo’s friends frequently conspired to entice him away from his work for relaxation and amusement. A few years ago he took up golf on the advice of his physician, but he remained perhaps the worst “dub” in his club. He dressed informally and quietly, but his appearance was striking. on ” ” PE men in public life had more warm, personal friends. He had the knack of making and holding friends. Until her death a few years ago, he lived with his sister, Nellie Cardozo. Their mother died when he was 9 and his sister reared and cared for him at their old family home in New York City during the remainder of her life. There was a strong bond of affection between the two. Mr. Cardozo often spent his summers on the Jersey coast, where he lived in a rented house. In Washington he resided in a small suite in the Mayflower Hotel He read omnivorously,

and liked nothing better than to spend an evening with a volume of Latin or Greek. He never joined the Bar Association or the New York County Lawyers Association, for early in his career, both made him honorary members. He belonged to the Century, Manhattan, and Columbia University Clubs. He was proud of the fact that a greatuncle named Seixas was the first Jew to be a Columbia University Trustee. He himself was the second. Mr. Justice Cardozo's own attitude toward the law was set forth in his speech at a testimonial dinner given him on his 60th birthday. when he said: “If the law is to be saved from sterile formalism, we must have a greater understanding of truth in its relation to life about us and of the eternal ends the processes of law are intended to serve.” Dr. Nichelas Murray Butler, Columbia University president, referred to him as “one of the distinguished ornaments of our nation and of the profession which he adorns and leads.”

In Grasshopper Control

By Science Service ASHINGTON, July 11 —Poisoned bait—180,000 tons of it —is joining with the long wet spel! of the early spring and summer to keep the nation's grasshopperfighters abreast of these costly insect pests so far this season, state officials of the U.

Time Has Reduced Wardrobes of Indianapolis Policemen, Who Once Had Suits for All the Seasons.

AYBE this is the moment to spill some more secrets about our Police Department. I've been carrying the stuff in my inside pocket ever since I told you about the nifty shirts our policemen are wearing

this summer. I don’t know whether you realize it or not, bug this is the first time in the history of Indianapolis that our policemen have appeared in blue shirts, For all I know it may be the last time, and since life is full of uncertainties like that, it behooves me to make the most of my opportunity and record the fact properly. Indeed I don't see why I shouldn't go further and tell you everything, especially about that dark and medieval period when our cops had to keep their coats buttoned up to the neck, leaving us to guess the color of their shirts, if any. Time was when an Indianapolis cop's wardrobe consisted of three shirts. In summer he wore a short coat which inclosed him so come pletely that you couldn't tell whether he wore a shirt or not. Chances are, he didn't. In the spring and fall he wore a so-called “dress” coat. the niftiest of the lot, with one row of buttons down the front, With the dress coat went a purple-stitched patent leather belt which had the effect of a snug fit around the waist. Below the waist the coat flared out like a lady's skirt. With a policeman poured into an outfit like that, it was nothing short of a picture, The dress uniform also included a white boiled shirt, a starched standing collar and a pair of of detache able cuffs. In the winter the policemen wore long heavy coats with two rows of buttons down the front. There was circumstantial evidence, too, especially around the neck and wrists, that a boiled white shirt went with the winter uniform. Of course, a policeman wore a a pair of pants no matter what kind of coat the season called for. The winter pants were a 20-ounce heavy broadcloth; the summer ones, a 16-ounce blue wool. At that time, too, our cops had white stripes running down the sides of their pants.

No More White-Striped Pants

Bob Metzger, Chief of Police in Charlie Bookwalter's administration, did away with the dress coat which, of course, left only two suits and brought us a step closer to the blue shirt of 1938. For some reason, too, Chief Metzger got rid of the whitestriped pants. Sam Perrott, Chief of Police in Bell's administration, did away with the winter coat which, of course, left nothing but the summer coat. Notice how things are shaping up? Step by step we're getting closer and closer to the color of a cop's shirt. All that remains now is to remove the cop's one coat and get to the thing next to his skin. You'd be surprised to know, though, how long it took to get that far. Believe it or not, that didn't happen until about a dozen years ago. I don’t know what moved the people at headquarters to do it— whether it was the hot summer we had that year or something else. Whatever it was, it marked the start of Indianapolis policemen peeling their coats to reveal what was underneath,

Tells Girl to Transfer Feeling for Older Man to Boy of Her Age.

EAR JANE JORDAN—I am a girl of 16. I'll be 17 Thursday. I am in love with my mother's doctor. He is about 28 years old, but doesn’t look to be that old. He is very popular and is what some people would call a society doctor, but I'm just a common girl, He isn’t married but goes with a girl. I don’t know whether they are engaged are not. He treats me wonderfully when he calls on mother, and when I have to go to his office to get medicine he is very kind. I don't want to be too friendly, but how could I find out if he really likes me or if he is just kind because it is his nature to be kind to his patients? What could I do or say? I know I love him. B.A.C.

Answer—It won't do you any harm to hang your dreams on the young doctor for a season provided you don't expect him to reciprocate. You're grow= ing up and pressed by new feelings and desires, You're eager for an object upon which to lavish your affections, What is more natural than that you should choose an older man to adore, particularly one who stands in the role of friend and protector of your mother? But you must face the fact that you mean to him what he means to you. Of course he is kind to you. But I am sure that he would be perfectly astonished if he knew that you hoped he might feel romantic about you. Regard him as a stepping stone in your emotional development. You've made your first effort to love someone outside the family circle. Fine [he next step is to transfer your feeling to some boy your own age whose interests are close to your own interests, Do not stay in your dream too long. Remember that a dream is a means of making things seem to go your way without your having to work for results. Reality cannot he molded so readily. Boys will present you with plenty of problems not easy to solve. Do not retire into a dream to escape them but, go forth courageously to real situations instead of imaginary ones.

EAR JANE JORDAN—I am a young boy who cares for a girl very much, but she likes an=other boy just as well as she likes me. She is afraid to give up either one of us for fear she will hurt our feelings. Please give me information in a way that will help her choose between us. If it is possible, tell me how I can win her. THANK YOU.

Answer—Get busy and find yourself a girl whom you like just as well as you do this girl. Then perhaps you'll know how she feels. I think it very foolish of you to object to the fact that she has another boy friend when you are both so young, Your cue is to go and do likewise and have fun. JANE JORDAN.

New Books Today Public Library Presents—

A CARTOON in a popular magazine is the inspira= tion for Elizabeth Hawes’ title to her book . FASHION IS SPINACH (Random House), which is by way of being an expose of the woman's clothing racket. Perhaps we cannot subscribe wholeheartedly to all the theories of this successful American designer, But we can enjoy her adventures as supersaleswoman, as ardent student, and as great showman when she put her original models in a style show in Paris right in the laps of all the great French dressmakers. Her witty anecdotes are interspersed with very definite ideas on the way clothes are marketed and promoted, on the pirating of designs, and on the French legend of “chic,” as well as with repeated wailing concerning the guliibility of the American women. Miss Hawes insists that they are slaves of fashion and are ex= posed to a great number of hideous clothes because

promoters change the fashion every
