''The Winds"

To the Editor The Washington Herald:
They come and go to friend and foe,
Speak loudly here and whisper
there.
Those winds unseen that softly blow
How oft they soothe. how oft they
tear.
They frolic. too. indeed tits true.
The buttercup can tell their whims
The owl that boots the long night
thru,
Their secrets list when daylight
dims.
They laugh, they sigh. then gently
creep
Across the plains, but angry. too.
Der mountain tops they furious
sweep
And slip away to worlds anew.

Blames the Newspapers.

To the Editor: The Washington Herald:
The editorial. Pay or Freeze" Is
a fair sample of newspaper discus
SION of economic questions. 1t ap-
pears to be making a fight for the
people, but it is, in fact. doing moth
ing whatever to help. 1t does not
point out the basic wrong from
which the operators derive the pow
er to fix eNtortionate prices, nor
show how that wrong can be re-
moved. Until that power Is broken
unearned profits cannot be elimi-
matchmaking of value can be
done.
Newspaper silence on this aspect
is simply disgfaceful. Newspapers
that do not help instruct the public
as to the causes of economic trou-
bles and how they can be removed,
are even more to blame than are the
most outrageous profiteers. They
are then nothing short of servants
of the profiteers and aiders and
abettors of profiteering. Do you
aP-"n to that?
With enough coal in the ground
to last thousands of years and half
the miners idle. there is no reason
why enough coal should not be pro-
duced to bring down the price. But
we have laws that give power to
hold out of use hundreds of millions
of acres of coal, and allow opera
tors to stop production as soon as
the market is supplied at their fixed
extortionate price.
Government operation will not
help. All experience has proved
t-at. The only remedy is free ac-
cess to the coalfields-free competi-
tion.

Federation Not Responsible.

To the Editor. The washinrton Herald:
49, Your editorial of today. entitled
"A School Housing Program"
makes reference to a program
which you state has been outlined
by the committee on education of
the Federation of Citizens Assooia-
tions. This is an error. for there
has been no program outlined by
that committee. The document 10
which you refer Is simply the indi-
yidual views of the writer, who
happens to be chairman of the fed-
eration's committee. and was sub
mltted in response to a request from
Senator Capper.
Please make this correction. as
neither the Federation nor its COM
mittee on education are in any way

TENS can appreciate the business of
most of your deductions. Every
stockholder of limited holdings
knows that the greatly overpaid Of
ficiaIs of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company have failed
irnominiously to meet the obliga-
tions and confidence placed in them.
First, they have maneuvered to
manipulate the votes and retain
themselves in office, raised their
salaries entirely out of proportion
To the services rendered and mis-
management and constant irritation
with their employees has placed that
railway at a disadvantage and lost

its earnings and possibilities to
earn a fair return for its stock
holders.

the avariciousness of the men who
own a majority Of the stock. and 1t

ers and the people Of Washington
when a Congress will take over the

holders and the people a fair deal.

Exchanging Front
and Rear Tires Will
Prolong Life of Each

Moving the tires forward as they
wear is one of the best ways to pro-
long their life. If you start with all
new tires. run them for about half
their guaranteed mileage and then ex-
change front and rear The greatest
strain and wear comes on the rear
tires, and so these should always be
the strongest and newest.
As for the right and left sides.
the right wears first because the road
is rougher: the weight of the car is
thrown that way by the crown of the
road. So move your tires forward as
they wear out in the following Sc
quence: The new tire should be placed
on the right rear. then to the right
front. then to the left front.

Another Angle to It
But there's another angle to that.
idly we do not have to keep so much
on hand. Operating on a narrow mar
gin we have to keep very close account
of stock and, to meet this need we
have completely changed our system
of purchasing and accounting. For
merly we bought in vast bulk lots. using
up stock as we needed it. But that
would not do under our changed con-
ditions. We have worked out new
system which. l believe, is not dupli-
Gated anywhere. There are 5000 parts
to the Ford car. Each one of those
parts is given a number symbol. Once
each month We make schedule of the
exact number Of cars we will make
the exact amount Of stock needed to
make just the number of parts to fill
that schedule and buy that amount of
stock and no more.

house cleaning. We went through the

them. We told the men that occupied
those desks, that back in the shops

''We went through the shops in the
same way. During the war production
we had forman for about every three

While the tribe of PARISH were dealing with

after the PARISH had pioneered and built up
what are now the streets of most ancient Paris
Caesar had grown up and conceived the idea
Of moving west. Consequently, Caesars inva-

After q lapse Of considerable centuries Paris
Is again to-day suffering the ancient malady
and the modern PARISH are still stopping over
into the country. This time it is in the wooded
hills that flank the Seine and the Marine outside

Notwithstanding previous periods of

Central and the Hudson tunnels.
Paris is not blaming its present congestion
on rising and greater generations of PARISH
this time. for the Partisan birth rate is the
lowest Of any city in the world. It cannot
Z blame it on C@sars military and civil influx,
because present day Romans go mostly to the

The Department Of the Seine, which is most

venience, like the sudden overflow Of HUDSON
Bay, and fiocked to New York, willing to pay
the landlords what they asked for available
places to live. Then presume again that the
prune crop failed in California and the New
Workers decided en- masse to go back home.
California prune money would look 10 better
to the New York landlords than banknotes on
the Royal Bank of Canada. VOLTA Such is
the way of the landlords in Paris"
Perhaps the prune-picking migration simile
is not so apt, but it serves to illustrate that
Parisians came home from their work in
Northern France and elsewhere long ago to
find that Paris landlords were caring little
whether the choice apartments Of the French
capital were paid for in the equivalent of
Russian jewels, plate or rubles, English
pounds American dollars, Italian Ire, Dutch
gulden or what not. All of which, according
to the oft expressed sentiment of the average
Partisan, proves that Paris landlords are
unpatriotic, avaricious and grasping
The foreigner will pay through the nose
The Frenchman will not if it can be avoided.
And he is avoiding it by seeking the country.
