WOULD LIMIT POLITICS

Chairman Cummings of Democratic
Committee Speaks on American
ism Before Press Club.

In the effort to quell radicalism in
the United States and combat the
spread of an anti-American spirit
the good citizen should first make
sure his own hands are cleaN and
his own loyalty above question, said
Homer s. Cummings. chairman of
the democratic national committee
who last night addressed the Ma
tiona1 Press Club on the subject of
Americanism.
Mr.. Cummings also suggested a
Law Which would prevent any person
nos9s.F citizen of this country from
participating directly or Indirectly
in politics, a measure which, he said.
would 'lop off large portion of the
country"
You cannot kill an idea with
sword" said the speaker. ut de-
wolves on US, in large measure, first
to purge our own consciences. to
make sure that we ourselves are good
Americans; to make sure that our
just. to make sure that no wrong
goes unredressed, and no righteous
cause unheard; to make sure that the
ballot Is free and undefiled and pure,
and that'mere craftsmanship shall not
lead US to condone assaults upon the
ballot in America. no matter from
what source they may come
II have often thought that it would
be perfectly feasible to enact a clear
cut law which would make it unlaw-
full for any person who had not TAX

can citizen to participate directly or
indirectly in the politics of America,
or in any movement designed to
change the fundamentals of Ameri-
can life. 1t is perfectly simple to
lop Off large proportion Of the bale
full agitation that exists in this coun-
try, for a substantial part of it comes
from those not Americans. or those
american citizens, and who are here
only for the purpose of destroying
American institutions. When we
have learned how to deal with this
class of people then we turn to the

ONE-WAY TRAFFIC RULE
FIXED AT LINCOLN PARK

The District Commissioners have or
dered that the streets on both sides of
Lincoln Park from 18th to 18th streets
be made one-way thoroughfares for
traffic.
The order provides that the south
side Of the park shall be for east
bound traffic and the north side for
westbound vehicles.
The action resulted from a COM
munication sent to the Commissioners
by the Lincoln Park Citizens Assoc
citation in November, in which atten-
, ton was called to the dangerous con-
dition existing around the park The

one side of the pal}1 and west on the

ton for traffic Goins in different

LUMBER CHOICE
REQUIRES CARE
Future Use Of Building Is
Consideration in Pick
ing Wood.

Wood is SO adaptable TO every
construction use that a great many
persons think all IL needs is the car
penter, says a prominent lumber au-
thority. but IL must be remembered
that some wood is more adaptable
than another to a certain purpose.
also that while IL may be that in
other forms of art "the more diffi-
cult the medium. the greater the
art" in architecture the more
adaptable the medium. the greater
the possibilities o ftrue art in it's
use, and true art must include a
certain amount OF restraint.
Wood is not only adaptable to art
and to permanency but IT is adapt
able TO change. not simply the
change here and there of a detail
during construction but the change
that is inevitable TO all construc-
tion in the course of time, as the
adding of a new wing or a sleeping
porch to the home, the converting of
a stable into a garage and minor
changes which are necessary to in
stall newer methods of ventilation
There is always a little changing
and in the course of a generation
or two. this changing is an impor-
tant feature to be considered. 1t is
in this respect that the adaptability
of wood may be emphasized.
The builder must use wood intel
ligently and look to the proper con-
struction of chimneys and other vent
shafts. as nearly half of all fires may
be traced to faulty construction in
