Easter Cards.

Easter mails are heavy, post Office
official says. This is due to the Easter
card habit, which has shown sub
stantial growth. 1t is n very happy
habit and its practice involves a slight
cost The sending of holiday cards is
q pleasant way of cementing and re-
newing friendships. The receipt of a
card inscribed with sentiments of love
or milder regard gives glow of salts
faction, even though the sentiments
were written by an unknown hand.
The sender indorses them and that
carries the joyous message. People
like to receive these little remem-
branees. If there is an obligation to
return the compliment it is not so
heavy an obligation as that carried by
q gift of greater substance and price.
The Christmas card has done much to
solve the Christmas gift problem, which
grew immensely burdensome. The
card at Christmas, at Thanksgiving
and at Easter is little thing that
promotes happiness and helps to cheer
a fellow up, to bring 4 pleasant
thought to a young girls mind and a
smile to an old woman's face.

The Navy and the Pacific.

Secretary Daniels has written 4 let
mittee putting quietus on printed
story ascribing an anti-Japanese object
to the Navy Departments Pacific pro-
gram. He says that "the contem-
plated development of naval bases on
the Pacific coast is predicated upon
no policy of antaConism 10 any power
in the Pacific, but upon the principle
of national protection and ability to
help preserve the peace of the world
The same principle of national pro-
lection that actuated us i'll building
modern naval bases on the Atlantic
coast demands that we shall do the
same on the Pacific coast"
This is so plain and convincing, 1t
ought to insure the provision by Con-
gress for the Navy Departments rec
concentrations. They are both timely
and important, and should on no ac-
count be disregarded.
lem to deal with if there had been no
world war. 1t would have issued from
the natural growth and order cf
things. For some years the Pacific had
arrested attention as "the coming
ocean" Big things were developing
everywhere on its shores; and our pres
ence in Hawaii, Guam and the Philip
pines, not to mention cur long con-
tinental coast line, made us Pacific
power of the first class.
The war but emphasized our duty
by illustrating the inestimable value
of sea strength We know better now
than formerly how necessary it is for
such a nation as ours, with enorm Gus
resources and ambitious purposes, to
be strong on the water. And, of
course, as we front on both oceans and
have great interests in both, We must
be as strong in the Pacific as in the
Atlantic, and strong in both.
The United States is not seeing red
It is not jumpy. 1t is neither wishing
nor preparing for war. But neither is
it sitting up nights arrayed in JOY
clothes watching for the dawn of the
millennium. Which, by the way, when
il comes, will be rs welcome here as
anywhere else on the globe.
Our naval program calls for money
and these are times for economy. But
let US make no mistake about what
economy is. We "economized" for
years in the matter of our Army and
Navy, only to find ourselves, in a
pinch, without an Army and with a
stunted Navy, and forced to spend
billions because of a neglect to spend
millions in time.

Save Daylight!

The way to save daylight is to save
it. 1t can be saved without legls-
lative enactment, but in this age dt
multiplying laws and universal regu-
lation the greater number of men seem
to wait until they are legislated into
action. Legislation is coming to be
looked on as the remedy for every
thing from warts, moles and ring
worm to the price of fur coats and
limousines. Daylight can be saved by
the very simple expedient of going
to bed and getting up earlier. 1t
would be beneficial thing for every
body to do. However, one hesitates to
make the suggestion that everybody
do it, because the citizens of Wash
ington are already overburdened with
advice and admonition and suggestion
as to how they shall eat, drink, sleep,
dress and act. There never was a
time when people were so lactured and
heetored, regulated and taxed as now.
There never was time when so many
lecturers. writer's and adviserx were
manifcsting an interest in othet peo-
Piles affairs. But if you want to save
daylight you can do it. You can get
up an hour earlier and spend it dA,-
ging in the garden without setting bach
the clock. You can go to bed an hour
earlier by turning in directly after
coming home from the movies. If you
want to sleep late on sunny morn,
bolt your breakfast, run for the street
car, hang to strap and get to the Of
fee late, why, of course, that's up to
you. But it does seem that after a
long and dour winter man with fair
endowment of common sense would
enjoy getting up an hour earlier and
spending that hour in the silver sun
| light of spring and summer.

butus as signs of spring, while a great
many others have accepted the book
beer sign as the true indicator of gen
ltle springs arrival. But that sign is
now extinct. Some credulous persons
have assumed the first robin to be a
sign of spring. The robin has often
been calla1 a harbinger, but he often
harbingers too far ahead of time.
The real and authentic signs OF
spring are the shop windows. 1t is the
window dresser who forecasts spring
and autumn, ummer and winter, and
not the alma manac-maker and the
weather man. The shop window and
the seasons are 50 close together that
it cannot be determined whether the
shop window follows the seasons or
tIse seasons the shop window. just now
the coats and skirts. the bonnets and
the neckties are telling that spring
has come, and they are telling it IN
bright and splendid colors and some
times in what might be called cloud
tones"

acquaintances are glad to serve him
in any way. They hold themselves
at his command.
Mr.. Wilson is the first of our Presi-
dents to succumb to the strain of the
office. William Henry Harrison and
Zachary Taylor died in Office, but
neither Of them as the result of the
hard work imposed by the place. Har-
rison lived but month after inaugu
ration, and Taylor only little more
than twelve months. Both were ad-
vanced in years, Harrison being sixty
eight and Taylor sixty-six at the time
of demise.
Mr.. Lincoln's time in office-four
years and a month-was filled with
labor and anxiety. He did not know
an hour of ease. He had scarcely set
tied in his chair when called upon to
defend the Union; and from that
hour until the end his whole nature,
physical and mental, was driven to
the limit. But he was hardy-the son
of backwoodsman, and built on giant
lines. He did not spare himself, but
was able to bear his burden.
Mr.. Wilson's service has. had fea-
lures not found in the service of any
of his predecessors. He had been four
years in office when the country en-
tered the war, and they had been years
of real labor. His party, after a So
journ of sixteen years in the wilder
ness, had returned to power pledged
to many reforms, and it proceeded un-
der his direction to inaugurate them.
This left him no leisure.
The war, necessarily, added to the
Pre,;ident's duties and responsibilities.
Almost wholly unprepared, the country
had to prepare for hostilities. The
job was colossal. The war over, peace
terms had to be arranged, and with
that task in hand Mr.. Wilson spent
six months in Paris on a dead grind.
A treaty signed. Mr.. Wilson returned
home, and soon afterward set out on
a stumping tour of continental pro-
portions in an effort to convert the
country to his point of view. As he
neared the end of his journey, he
collapsed.
The old phrase, Saving the country"
describes now huge job, full Of com
plexities and perplexities. An occu-
pant of the White House is sort of
prisoner. While not locked in, he is
tethered to his task. and kept con-
.scious of its size and difficulties all
the time. There are few periods of
rest for him, and none of any length.
He is public servant, and no mis-.
take.

Shad.

In these days of high prices, and it
may be said exorbitant prices, it is
gratifying to read that one kind of
food is lower. The Star had a news
story beginning Thousands of Wash
ingtonians today took advantage of
the decreased price of shad to pur-
chase that most desirable adjunct to
the Good Friday menu. Record
catches of the Potomac river variety
of shad are responsible for the tumble
in prices, according to fish dealers"
The public returns thanks to the
shad for showing a proper apprecia-
tion of the esteem in which the people
of Washington have long held it. So
fond of shad are Washingtonians that
they would have it at whatever cost
1t is really not fair to set price on
| shad, for it is fish that properly
cooked and served is priceless. The
shad has its bones as the rose
hase its thorns, but there is nc
use mentioning these defects when sc
many merits may be counted. Even
shad is not perfect, though it more
nearly approaches perfection than any
other thing-that is, if it is Potomac
shad, cooked by Washington wife
One Of the great beauties of the Pc.
tomac river is that it produces shad
And the Board of Trade could have nc
shadbake without shad, though as all
the world knows, oyster stews are
made without oysters and clam chow.
der without clans.
The prices quoted by The Star on
shad showed that it sold at 30 to IS
cents a pound. 1t does not seem to
follow that the people bought the fish
at this price just because it sold at
this price. There often seems to be a
mysterious difference in the price al
which thing sells and the price which
people must pay to buy it. A feature
Of this whole thing is that the shad
was sold by the pound. fashioned
shad was not sold that way. Shad was
sold by the pair. A list of retail prices
for ish-a list printed in The Star in
June, 1876-showed that shad brought
so to 60 cents per pair; rock, 40 to SO
cents per bunch; perch, 35 to 40 cents
per bunch; catfish, 25 cents per bunch
yellow perch, 40 cents per bunch; salt
water trout, 40 cents per bunch, and
terrapins, so cents to So each.
