ALFALFA AS A REFRIGERATOR

Refrigerators indoors are common

Southwest to devise one for outdoor

A farmer who happened to plant a
large field Of alfalfa south OF the
farmhouse noticed during the hot sum-
mers that followed that his family

neighbors. The thermometer showed a

Now the farmers of that region are

The cause of the GOODNESS OF winds

The Civic Art of Washington.

Designation Of Miss Mabel Board
man as chairman Of the committee on
civic art Of the Washington Society
Of Fine Arts is not only a deserved
compliment to one who has uniformly
manifested the keenest interest in
the evolution Of Washington, but is a
guarantee Of earnest, energetic en-
deavor to advance the development Of
the capital. During her unfortunately
short term as District Commissioner
Miss Boardman showed her concern
for the betterment of conditions and
the advancement of plans for the at
tainment of the true ideal Of capital
making. Had she remained in that
office. for which she displayed eminent
qualifications, she would doubtless
have brought her interest to the point
Of constant official endeavor to correct
the lapses and to fill the gaps left by
unsystematic public improvements con-
Quoted on the basis of flrctuating an
nual appropriations.
In the course Of an interview in The
Star yesterday Miss Boardman pointed
out certain matters that call for early
attention. With these the public is
familiar through repeated citations and
recommendations. The Washington
Society Of Fine Arts has done well
to enlist the cooperation and the serv-
ices of one who sees so clearly and is
capable Of indicating so distinctly the
urgent requirements for bringing
Washington up to the point of its pos
sible development as the most artistic,
the best equipped and the most attrac-
tive and comfortable city in the world,
which it should assuredly become.

urday half holiday, throughout the
year "for all purposes" in the District
Of Columbia means twelve months in
stead Of three as to the departments,
1t should explicitly SO provide in an
interpretive expression.
The departmental forces will accept
the decision cheerfully and in spirit
of loyal compliance. There has been.
indeed, no disposition to press this
point sharply, although the disparity
between the statute and the fact has
been plainly evident. The government
does, as the President says, deal gen.
erously with it's employees in some re-
spects. 1t Is not generous in the mat
ter Of pay, however, the public service
scale running materially lower than
the scales in the industries and bust
ness employments. This question Of
the half holiday is not a matter Of
generosity. but is merely question
of law. If the law is not what it seems
to be its wording should be changed.

The Half.Holiday Ruling,

President Harding, after consulta-
ton with the cabinet, rules that the
language Of the statute making Sat-
urday afternoon legal holiday in the
District ''for all purposes is not suf-
ficiently clear to justify him in order
ing the closing Of all government de-
partments in Washington at noon on
Saturday throughout the year. Con-
sequently the request Of the clerks
for application Of the act during
twelve instead Of three months is de-
MED, and they are called upon to "give
full time and the best Of efforts to re-
store our activities to their normal
ways" ..-.
It would be, as the President says, a
very simple matter for Congress to
make such an expression Of the year
round" construction Of the law If that
Is its desire. Indeed, it would be bet
ter IL this matter were definitely SET
tied by some specific enactment. If
Congress does not mean that the
statute shall apply to all the depart
ments for the entire year it should

mday half.holiday law, and so put an

ton relative to the meaning Of the

The Shipping Board.

At last the Shipping Board is organ
ized, and ready to function.
There Is no criticism or reproach in
the ''at last" The President was justi.
fed in taking time to find the men he
thought the business called for, and the
men he appealed to were justified in
taking time to appraise his appeal.
Those who declined gave good rea-
sons. Their private affairs were such
they could not accept. Acceptance, as
they knew, would require neglect Of
private for public affairs.
For this reason those who accepted
and are now in Office are entitled to
the more credit. They have sacrificed
something to serve the public. What
they have undertaken they well un.
derstand will tax all their energies and
require constant attention.
The new board takes hold in cir
cumstances that will try their souls
and their patience. Shipping every
where is depressed. Business every
where, although we are two years and
a half away from the war, is still dis
located, and in some countries in great
confusion. In our own country here
it is in a nervous and dispirited state.
Still, discouraging as the situation
Is here and everywhere. the board
must have program and carry it out.
When business revives-and it is GER
tain to revive-the United States must
be ready to do her share of it, and in
a way to show full preparedness to i'm
prove the best opportunities the future
may offer.

The Lure of Congress.

Harry s. New and Albert ]. Bev.
eridge contesting for the republican
nomination to the seat in the Senate
now occupied by the former should
make snakes" in Indiana next year.
They are popular men and accomplish
ed politicians. In his two terms in
the Senate Mr.. Beveridge made repu.
tation, while in his first term Mr..
New has become one Of the leaders
Of that body. Both are young as pol
iticians are reckoned.
The case Of Mr.. Beveridge is In point
as showing how strong the lure of the
Senate is on those who know it's atmos-
phere and have tested the opportunity
it offers men Of capacity and ambition
for performing public service. For
nearly q decade he has been in private
life; and now when the desire seizes
him to re-enter public life he turns his
eyes to the Senate again.
Capitol Hill is shedding its rays far
and near these days. Many strong men
throughout the country are feeling an
urge for congressional service. They
want to get into the game while the
play is high and exciting. Many new
and some very big questions are up or
coming up, and fame awaits those who
in position to help decide them show
aptitude for the work.
For the same reason those now in
congressional commission want to stay
where they are. Public life offers so
much in the way Of exercise and ex.
citement, and will continue to do so
while the new order produced by the
war is taking shape, they are eager
and obedient servants.

The Probation System for Juveniles

In support of the development OF
higher standards in Juvenile court
work the Department Of Labor cites
the marked success Of the probation
policy, and his issued an extensive re-
port on probation in children's courts.
wherefrom the conclusion is drawn
that this sensible course Of corrective
leniency is more than justified by the
gratifying results. In New York, for
example, the probation method of
dealing with Juvenile delinquents costs
only one-eighteenth as much as insti-
tutional care. But the monetary saw
ing is negligible as compared to the
upbuilding, the retrieving. of youthful
character, unsmirched by any institu-
stional record.
Few adults, at least among men. If
they will search their memories. can
escape the conclusion that at some
time or other in their juvenile days
they were candidates for the consid-
ed, perhaps, but nevertheless Offend
ers against the rules that youth must
learn to obey. Boyish exuberance OF
spirit will launch in the guise OF ad-
venture or simple mischief some prof.
ect that does not conform, and 1t is
only to be anticipated that frequently
these misdemeanors or pranks. how
ever inspired, draw the ire OF the law.
Well, it should be q most temperate
ire, and there's where the probation
system steps in. We have no need for
haste in condemning the youthful
criminal, who may not be criminal at
all, and whether he is or is not GER
tainly seems worth an effort to save.
The system of juvenile probation re-
fuses to admit that evil Is rooted deep
in the soul of every juvenile who Of
fends the law. 1t prefers to believe
that either the weed of error Is fig
mentary or that it can be plucked out
by wise counsel and firm but
kindly treatment. Perhaps we shall
always have institutions for wayward
Juveniles, but institutions are only FOR
