me any information Of the Vice Presi-
dent enlightening the Senate about
the purposes and wishes of the ad-
ministration.
The man who presides over the
United States Senate hears much dis
cussion of great value on subjects of
great public Importance. and in that
way receives many suggestions which
quicken and enlarge his own mental
processes. The service adds to his
equipment as an adviser, and to the
desirableness Of his company in that
capacity. Mr.. Marshall has had his
own experience. enjoyed it and profit
ed by it.
This, in all probability, was what
Mr.. Harding had principally in mind
in inviting Mr.. Coolidge to attend cab
met meetings. He thought less, if
anything, Of having the Senate bene-
fit than of having the administration
benefit from his drawing Of Mr..
Coolidge the closer to his side. A man
Of such signal success in politics as
Mr.. Coolidge would be certain to bring
with him to the cabinet table sugges-
tions of weight touching national
questions and policies. And doubtless
that has been the result.
And there are men-some Of them
distinguished democrats-who regret
that the policy was not inaugurated at
least eight years sooner, and believe
that if it had been the country would
have benefited.

The Jobless.

The President has wisely decided
that the unemployment question is
local as well as national, and has sug.
gested that local authorities assist the
national authorities in solving it.
There should be an immediate and
generous response to the suggestion.
Local authorities-particularly city
authorities-have 1t in their power to
do a great deal Of good for the job
less. They can easily list the unfortu-
mates, ascertain their real conditions
and then canvass the possibilities Of
relief by canvassing conditions in local
industries-how many are running full
time. how many half time and how
many not running at all, with the rea.
sons governing each case.
It is assumable that the question
thus brought home, to the peoples
doors, so to say, will not fail to rouse
the people to a keen sense Of their
responsibilities in the premises. They
viii see their duty, and do it with a
clearer intelligence and greater sue.

Fort Park Boulevard.

Among the public improvements
urged by Col. kutz in his farewell
message is the civil war fort, park
and boulevard project, which was an
important part Of the park commits
sion plan of 1901. This project has
been in the public mind at least since
1899, when it was made part of
program of The Evening Star and the
Board of Trade for making the Ameri-
can capital the great capital Of the
world in architecture, parks, boule-
wards, water supply and civic govern
ment. A bill prepared by the District
Commissioners was introduced in the
Senate last spring by Senator Ball of
Delaware, chairman Of the District
committee, providing for an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for a survey for drive
way to connect certain civil war de-
fenses of Washington. The bill was
in agreement with a recommendation
made to the Board of Trade by its
committee on parks and reservations,
which recommendation was unani-
mously adopted by the board Decem-
Der Is, 1920. The committee recon-
mended the acquisition "of the sites of
the forts and fortifications erected
during the civil war from Rock Creek
Park to the Anacostia river and a fort
drive or parkway connecting the said
forts and Notifications and extending
from the east line Of Rock Creek Park
to the Anacostia river"
The government owns only few Of
the old forts-McPherson at Arling-
ton, De Russy and two or three old
batteries within Rock Creek Park and
two Of the Eastern branch fortifica-
tions. Most Of the old forts have been
leveled and many built on. One Of
those which has most recently sue
cumbed to the growth of the city is
Fort Stanton. Only a small section
of the works at the north end remains
visible, and a subdivision made of
that property a few weeks ago will
probably result in obliterating the re-
manning remnant of that fort.

Col, Kutz and Washington.

No more conclusive evidence could
be offered as to the foresight and
ability with which Col. Charles w.
Kutz, retiring District Engineer Com
missioner, has discharged the duties
of the office from which he now with
draws than is to be found in a study
of his farewell message to the people
Of Washington, printed in yesterdays
Star. In that message he sets forth
his conception of the lines upon which
the National Capital should develop
IN the future, stipulating-as his
theme progressed-the financial basis
upon which that development should
be attempted. There is nothing of the
perfunctory Good d-bye-and may you
prosper" in the admonitions of the
colonel. Definitely, and with a pre-
cision born of long familiarity with
District needs. he maps the route
along which Washington, as the capi-
tai Of the United States, must travel.
From the development and proper
paving of the arterial highways of
water supply conduit to the building
Of necessary new bridges, to the in
stallation of new street lights in GER
tain sections Of the city, to the estab-
1ishment of six branch public libraries,
to the continued reclamation Of the
Anacostia flats, to the development Of
the Dark system and the building of a
system of connecting drives, Col.
Kutz progresses with the sureness Of
one upon familiar ground. In his
advocacy of a fixed ratio between the
District and the federal purses in
meeting the expense of future develop
ment, and in his protagonism of the
use of the District surplus for some
such extraordinary expense as that to
be incurred in the reinforcing of the
antiquated water supply system, he
demonstrates the executive faculty of
suggesting sound methods whereby
The hopes of Col. Kutz for the fu-
ture of Washington are, in their broad
aspects, those which every thoughtful
citizen of the country must entertain.
They are those which have, through
out the period of his commissioner
ship, animated Col. Kutz in the per-
formance Of his official duties. 1t is
because of the fidelity and practical
ity with which he has sought to realize
those hopes that his relationship to
the District will influence the forward
progress of the National Capital for
many years to come.

New Foods.

The wholesale butcher in San Fran
cisco who recently received 10000
pounds of dressed reindeer meat from
Alaska has made no report Of sales.
But it is to be assumed that he has
disposed of his supply. although GER
tain westerners may conceivably have
eaten reindeer meat under the illusion
that they were eating more familiar
and accustomed viands.
This development of a new branch
of the meat industry draws attention
to the vast food resources which are
not availed Of because of custom or
prejudice. A tuna fish has become an
recent years, although previously lit
tie known. But the bureau of Ash
cries has endeavored in vain to con-
vince the American housewife of the
merit of certain food fishes avail
able in practically inexhaustible
quantities if the public could but be
induced to accustom themselves to
them. In many instances prejudice
is due not to any intrinsic demerit of
the fish, but purely to some name
which offends.
1t took many wasted centuries to
induce people to use that vegetable
which is now staple in American
households-the tomato. And the
vegetables win a place in our hearts
and our pantries. Altogether, it ap-
pears that there are numerous new
foods which we might advantageously
use if we choose. With the high cost
of living, why don't we choose?-

Berries,

Late summer and early autumn are
the true seasons of the berries. Some
are useful in the household, as cram
berries, elderberries and barberries.
Others are useful to the birds and
for decorative effects. Plentiful are
those of brilliant scarlet which grow
on the spice bushes. In putting up
preserves your grandmother or your
great-grandmother or old Aunt Dinah
or old Aunt Charity, not finding any
East Indian allspice in the pantry,
ground up some dried berries Of the
spicewood and used them as favoring
for food in place Of imported allspice.
You will make demand for the red
berries Of the holly and the crimson
dogwood berries later in the season.
The orange pods and scarlet seeds OF
bittersweet are conspicuous where
they grow, the bunchberries shine red
and brilliant in the woods, chokeber-
ries and coral berries call to you as
you pass, the little red partridge ber-
ries peep from the green foliage that
trails over the woodland floor, and the
red winterberries and those of the
wintergreen are seldom far away.
Then there is the deep red Of the
barberry and the shrubs Of maple
leaf arrowwood hold out flaming little
globes, but soon these change to pur-
pie and to black. The varied reds Of
the wild rose hips you know, and
these fruits fall within the classifica-
ton of berries. So also do the dull
scarlet of the little apples Of the red
haw.

A French Veteran.

Is M. Clemenceau out Of politics per-
manently, or is he coming back?
Some earnest guessing on this sub
ject prevails in France. He Is eighty
odd, but very vigorous, physically and
mentally. He has had a rest Of several
years. He still takes a keen interest
in public affairs. He knows literature,
journalism and legislative politics, and
has been a force in all three fields.
He does not approve of the way mat
ters growing out of the war have been
handled since he left office, and is
Enthusiastically frank about saying
so. Some Of the men who supported
him while he was at the head of af'
fairs support him in his present atti-
tude, and would be glad to see him
return to public life and try conclu-
sions with those now in power in
France. Indeed, they are urging him
to take such step.
If he yields to their wishes he will
contribute literally to the liveliness OF
Il
say in this country, from way back.
He did not earn his sobriquet during
the war by his course toward the for
eign enemy, but years before by the
vigor with which he participated in
domestic politics. He was "the Tiger"
in the chamber Of deputies and in his
several Partisan newspapers toward
all whose policies did not go on all
fours with his own.
M. Clemenceau is still tigerish in
his disposition. The years have not
tanned him, nor pared his claws. Upon
the whole, he is a very interesting and
able man, who does nothing slowly, or
by halves.

AS we seek spot more spacious
To accommodate the tears.
