BOY SCOUTS START
DRIVE AGAINST MOTHS

A box of enormous capacity has
been secured by the chief scout OK
ecutive here which, he says, Is ex-
pected to be filed to overlooking with
the tussock moth ~cocoons, which the
Boy Scouts will bring in between to-
day and 5 o'clock next Wednesday
afternoon. The cocoon campaign
which started at sunrise this morning
8 being waged by the scouts of all
the troops in the city, with the Idea
of getting rid of a most harmful raw
ager of shade, fruit and forest trees.
and. incidentally trying for the prizes
which the EVENING NEWS will
award each member of the patrol
which brings into headquarters the
greatest number of cocoon within
the next week.
The trees this year are infested
with this cocoon. which later pro-
duces the moth that lays the deadly
egg. The race will no doubt be very
keen, for the battle-ground takes in
the entire city. and the prey is all
most limitless. INC ladder placed at
several positions against some of the
trees will afford the scouts access to
any number of these cocoons. The
one restriction in obtaining the cocoon
is upon the mount OF boughs II
branches broken in the process. The
scouts are requested to be particular
ly careful to do as little damage to
the trees as possible. The instruc-
lions at headquarters say do not
bring the whole tree with you!'
The prizes offered by the EVENING
NEWS to each member of the winning
patrol is the choice between a magni-
pole compass and a 100-mile pedo-
meter, either OF which will be of
great use to any real scout.
The American Forestry Association,
in a handbook issued recently, de-
scribes the harm done by the tussick
worm, and any scout who could read
this account, would double his effort
to do his share to rid at least one
city of as many of these pests as pos
sible. School children In several parts
of the country, and societies of differ
ent natures are becoming interested
in the activities of preserving the
trees and forests of the country. In
Trenton, a very fine example of the
splendid work which can be done by
children, is shown in the war which
the school children have waged on the
tussock moth in that section.
All the scouts are urged particularly
to get into this movement mos ac-
lively. Reports must be made, and
the spoils turned in at headquarters
daily. Each afternoon, the names OF
the members in the leading troop will
be published along with the leaders
of the preceding day.

A Public Building Program.

With the sessions of the American
Institute of Architects in this city in
annual convention the thought recurs
that Washington, the capital, is still
undeveloped INTELLECTUALLY. There is
need of definite progress along the
line Of both needed construction and
systematic emplacement of public
buildings. During the war there was
spasmodic enlargement Of the public
building equipment. Temporary struc-
lures were erected. The urgent needs
of the government were met by any
possible means. Private dwellings and
apartments. business houses, even store
houses and garages, were utilized for
the great overflow of wartime Offices.
Now that emergency has passed in very
great measure and the capital is re.
turning to normal. Most of the pri-
vately owned buildings have been va
cated-save those that have been for
years under lease for public uses-but
The structures hastily erected by the
government remain in service, many
on the parks.
The urgent hope Of all those who be.
Geve that the capital should be d..
veloped Systematically and artistically
Is that these temporary buildings will
be RACED without fail within a few
years, and that meanwhile provision
will be made for permanent structures
to house the government establish

No Exchange Of Stumpers.

Jean Lonquet, described as "the lead
er of the minority socialists in th'
French chamber of deputies" who hao
accepted an invitation to attend the
socialist national convention in New
York, has changed his plans. Objec
ton was raised both in France and
in this country.
NJ. Lonquet, in explaining the situa
ton. declared that the purpose OF his
visit was to confer with American so
cialists only about scientific and eco
monte questions. II never for mo-
ment," ne added, chad any desire to
meddle in American politics. You
seem to have enough politicians OF
your own"
And yet this dispatch comes from
Chicago:
"Jean Lonquet, the French socialist
was to have attended the socialist con
yention at New York. and later cam
paigned for the party's nominee, who
is expected to be Eugene Debs, accord
ing to an announcement made by So
cialist headquarters here some time
ago."
NJ. Lonquet will be more comfortable
at home just now. He should arrange
to make US a visit later-next year,
say. We shall presently be in the
midst of lively family row, with every
member thoroughly alive and in ac-
ton. At such a time and in such cir
cumstances the outsider, in any coun-
try, who interferes usually gets it
where he deserves it-right in the
neck.
An exchange Of professors in the
educational world-Europe visiting
America, and America Europe-is a
good thing. An exchange Of stumpers
in the political. world would be bad
thing, Every country should settle
its domestic political problems in its
own way.
NJ. Lonquet is right in his assertion
that we have enough politicians of our
own. All we need; and they are able
to cultivate the home field. American
socialists do not lack for men of their
own to state their case and manage
their affairs.

ment. It may be true that this is not
the time to begin building operations,
with all costs at the peak. But the
course of government construction en-
terprise is slow, and it is assured that
if legislation is had within the next
twelve months for a new State De-
partment, for example, the work itself
will not be started for at least an
other year after that, and by that
time costs will have fallen in all proba-
bility and the stress on the govern
ment's finances will have been greatly
lessencd.
The State Department building is
one of the most urgent needs Of this
time. Some years ago the government
bought five squares at the western end
of the Mall-Avenue triangle for site
for three public buildings, the de-
partments of State, Justice and Com
merce-then Commerce and Labor.
Nothing whatever has been done to-
ward these constructions. Meanwhile
the departments Of Justice, Commerce
and Labor-now three instead Of two
have been housed in leased quarters,
while the State Department remains
choked in it's original home, with an
overflow into various unsuitable ad-
jacent buildings.
A definite building policy on the
part Of the government is urgently
needed, to save money and to advance
the transaction Of the public business.
During the past dozen years there
has been much makeshift work, apart
from the wartime emergency, and in
there is now confusion. The
capital as national city has suffered.
The public business has suffered.

Delaware, Louisiana and Suffrage

Suffrage may yet win through Della
wares deciding vote. Despite the de-
feat of the ratifying resolution at the
recent special session, another effort
is being made to get that state in line
for the enfranchisement Of the Ameri-
can women in time for the national
elections in November. Yesterday the
senate voted II to to ratify and the
resolution goes to the house, where
action is expected to come soon, per-
haps before this issue Of The Star is
printed. At the recent session the
house voted 90 to against ratifica-
ton, and since then strenuous efforts
have been made by the suffragists to
effect a change Of sentiment on the
part of members Of that body. Claims
are now made that sufficient number
have swung over to ratification. On
the basis Of the vote of April this
would mean the conversion Of seven
members Of the house.
If Delaware does not respond to the
sentiment which prevails so generally
throughout the country and the pres
sure that is being applied by political
leaders upon the personnel Of the state
house, Louisiana may win the honor Of
casting the thirtysixth vote for suf-
frage. It is commended by some that
decision rendered by the Ohio su-
preme court that the ratification re-.
corded by the legislature Of that state
is invalid, owing to the subsequent ref
erendum vote, reduces the number Of
assured ratifcations to "a instead of
35, and that both Delaware and Louis
lana are needed to complete national
ratification. This, however, is not the
view generally held, inasmuch as the
question Of the suficiency Of Ohio's
legislative action is now before the
Supreme Court Of the United States;
whose decision alone is binding. Until
the federal court declares the legisla-
tive ratification inadequate the fling
of the legislatures vote with the Sec
rotary Of State stands as the definite
record Of the states action in the at.
firmative.
