Capt. George H. Evans Tells
Gazette Reporter What
He Thinks
Business Manager of Chamber OF
Commerce Explains Fox's Ferry
Project

wben anproached by the Gazette
ranortar with the question. what dc
YOU think the Gazette's outline OF
some of the things needed for a big
per and better Alexandria ?" Captain
George H. Evans, Business Manager,
of the Chamber Of Commerce, smiled
and said:
eThe program as outlined by the
Alexandria Gazette for thesadvance.
ment and welfare of Alexandria
meets with the hearty endorsement
of the Chamber of Commerce.
"All of these projects are so i'm
nortant and far reaching that they
ought to be dealt with separately, |
will therefore, confine myself to the
advantages ACQUIRING from the install
lation of a ferry service between this
city and the Maryland shore. While
this matter has been thought to be a
good thing for some years past, 1T
has only been within the past year
that the project has assumed Two Two
definite shape.
1.-TWO things are necessary, the
building of a substantial road from
a point opposite this city to the top
of Oxon Hill, distance OF one and
one eighth miles, and the operation OF
a ferry; one will do no good how
ever, without the other.
"The plan is to have the Prince
Georges County authorities build the
road at cost of about ten thousand
dollars, and the interests in Alexan-
dria to guarantee the ferry. The
Prince Georges people are much in
terested in the matter and the
Chamber Of Commerce is convinced
that a plan will be worked out that
will result in the road being built.
"The mutual benefits to be derived
from such connection are incalcu
liable. Such route would mean to
the citizens of Prince Georges that
they would have the advantage of
two markets for their produce in.
stead of one, that they could reach
Virginia from this point with only
their Maryland license tag, and that
they could travel to the Valley of
Virginia a distance of II miles, as
against 113 miles via Frederick; as
a matter of fact, it would be almost
as near to go to Winchester from
Baltimore by this route as it would
to 90 by the way Of Frederick, and
then again tourists and others would
have a direct route to Richmond and
the south. The American Automo-
bile Association has agreed to show
this route on its map which means
that thousands Of tourists would
travel this way, opening the wonder
full possibilities of Southern Mary
land.
Such ferry would give the bust
ness interests of Alexandria an op-
portunity to solicit business and en-
able them to make deliveries at a
saving of Is to 20 miles of hauling;
it would put US within two miles of
reaching any section of Maryland
over good road; it would build one
more door in Alexandria making it
truly the Gateway to the South"
and the transient travel would soon
make it necessary to erect modern
hotel to take care Of this travel.
However, there is TO magic wand to
be waved to accomplish this, it means
work and sacrifice Of time. But is
it not worth every effort we can
make?"

Helpful Hints

Great Is the thouehtfulness Of our
government. DO YOU want to know
how to make jam? Write to WASH
lngton FOR the bulletin on iamnling.
Are pigs your hobby? The govern
meNt will tell YOU I'll about their in
most thoughts. Arc YOU keen to
learn the market fol white mice in
Abyssinja. \ word to the wise in
Washington Will bring you quota
tions
The latest helpful hint is how to
make chimneys draw and prevent
ireplaces from smoking. The details
are fully set forth in the Depart
mont OF Agriculture bulletin, which
may be had from The department in
Washington.
TO New Workers this information
is little more useful than the
various schemes for making horses
happy and healthy or how to get
more mileage out Of a mule. Mos
New Workers Of the younger genera
ton wouldn't recognize mule if
they saw one. To many horse is
merely the predecessor of the auto
mobile.
Fireplaces and chimneys are in the
same category. They are relics of
the early ages hefore bathing and
steam heat and automobiles came
into fashion. To-day merely the
outer form, known as the mantel, re-
mains. Various degrees of decep-
tion still lingor about the modern
fireplace. Some have enough depth
to hold gas logs. Others look to be
thoroughly genuine. But should any
one attempt to build fire in them
no instructions from even the best of
governments could prevent them
from smoking.
But, fortunately, the government
doesn't think only of New York. Its

The Poison Peddlers

The man who puts wood alcohol
klto beverages he intends foY sale
knows it is wood alcohol, and he
knows it is poison. IF it kills the
people who drink it, he is guilty Of
murder.
The fact that buying alcoholic
beverages is in violation of the law
is no defense FOR the man who sells
wood alcohol. Neither can he excuse
himself on the ground that only
foolish people would drink liquors
that had not been tested
The present price Of contrabaud
litlEor has aroused the greed Of ap-
rarently scores Of criminals who are
perfectly willing that their fellow
citizens shall be killed or blinded if
they can get a profit out Of the sale
Of the stuff they make.
Establishing tho guilt Of these
homicidcs ought not to be difficult.
The victims Of wood alcohol are sell
dom stricken down Immediately
They usually have time to tell where
they got the liquor which is killing
them. Once caught, the poison ped
dler ought to be put for the re-
mainder OF his life in place where
there will he no incentive to de-
stroy his fellow man.
Selling wool alcohol is in no sense
mere violation Of the Nolstead act.
1t is plain, indefensible murder, and
must he dealt with as such.

Wolf-like Logic

Theodor Wolff, the editor of the
" Geriiner Tageblatt,' seems to have
taken a hint from the cx-Kaiscr's
recently published letter to Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg. William
complained bocause Kautsky had
been allowed to bare many of the
secrets of the German archives,
while no Allied Foreign Office had
as yet taken the seal of OF it's pre-
"al and war CORES nonGencc. Herr
Wolff has turned to Russia, where
Lenlne did for the Czalist regime
what kautsAy did for the Nohen-
zollcrn. He rcproduces some alleged
confidential reports Ct NJ. Iswolsky.

and tries to show from them that
NJ. Poincare, then French President.
"foresaw the war and did nothing
to prevent it"
1t was to the great credit Of NJ.
Poincarc that, as Premier and then
as President, he did foresoe that
Germany intended to attack France
and made preparation 10 meet the
attack. He realized before 1914 tina.
he couldn't prevent war, since Ger
many wished it. But it is ridiculous
to assume, as Herr Wolff does, that
NJ. Polncare actually sought to fur
thcr it Uar1 in Frances interests"
France wasn't fully prepared in
1914 and suffered greatly from the
marked German superiority in heavy
artillery, machine guns and other
war material. How could the
French President have worked to
bring on the war? Austria Hun
gary was the aggressor against Ser
bla and Germany was the aggressor
against Russia. Germany declared
war against Russia and then against
France. after making to the latter
the insulting suggestion that she
could purchase neutrality by deliv-
ering over as security the fortresscs
of Tcul and Nerdun.

wecvil, the Colorado beetle, the
gypsy moth and all the rest. This
may be effected, rs in the case of
the cano borcr, through the employ
ment of another insect of similar
size, or through the cultivation of
Tar moro minute creatures, even OF
disease-producing microbes. 1t Is
law of nature that every creature
has its enemies. 1t is for man to
stimulate the operation of that
law, just as he sets cats to destroy
ing mice and mongooses to killing

Experiments need, of course, to
be conducted with discretion, lest in
trying to get rid Of one nuisance we
bring another upon us. Happily,
this has seldom occurred, except,
perhaps, in the case Of the Eng
lish sparrow. That bird was i'm
ported in expectation that it would
destroy insects which infested trees
and shrubs in our cities. The gcn-
cral verdict soon was that it did not
fulfill that purpose, but instead was
inimical and offensive to our more
attractive native birds and was itself
: noisy and untidy nuisance. The
impulsivc error of that importation
is not, however, likely to be re-
peated.

Germany S Debt Evasion

To the Editor of Tho Tribune.
Sir: Is not the depreciation Of the
German mark, in the last analysis,
practical repudiation of both the Ger
man internal and external debt? Does
it measurably affect the actual yalus
or earning power of real property OF

German producers, whether agricui-
tural, mining or manufacturing, to gel

Who are the beneficiaries of thoss
facts if not the moneyed or properly
owning classes in Germany? Are they
not and have they not been for many
years in thorough control Of German

Bugs to Kill Bugs

A Nindication of Swift's epigram
about heas having smaller fleas to
bite EN- is afforded in The importa-
ton into this country Of species
Of tachina, the Larvae of which arc
given to devouling the larva, Of the
insect which bores into sugarcancs.
All the tachina, which arc numcr-
ously distributed throughout the
world, are Of parasitic habits; but
each species or variety has its own
favorite food. The one under pres
ent consideration seems to have a
passion for cane borers. and its
prevalence in Cuba is assumed to be
the reason for that country's COM
parative immunity from the pest
which is so destructive in Louisiana.
Apparently it can be acclimated in
the United States, and there is thus
hope of large measure of protec-
ton from the borers.
Some day similar means will be
found Of abating other insect

Anti-Lynching Bill Opnonent

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Slr Since The columns Of vonr
pages as well as those of all os our
daily newspapers are largely filled with
accounts Of murders and robberics 7
am compelled to agree with vour com
trbutor from Washington, Colonel
Lanler, that the Dyer bill TO prevent
lFnchlns is untimely, unwisc, uncon-
stltutional and ought not to pass in
any form.
The purpose Of public statutes is TO
confirm right, not to impose a pen
atty. If there is a failure to enforce
the law what we need to do i, to
awaken public opinion to sense oc ;ts
duty. Until that is done it is better
to bear with the Ills VIC have than to
take greater risk by passing Federal
acts that invade and set aside the nre-
negatives of our states Local self
government is the foundation rock Of
our constitutional system. Out of that
have come our greatness and glory.
Every Federal encroachment on local
self government thereby lessons tho
possibilities of future growth and dc
vciopmcnt
If the Dyers really wish to accom-
plish something let them first find out
the cause before applying a remedy
To those who observe and think. it is
evident that VIC arc Of an era in which
there has been moral lapse in human
ity. The World War did not shoot
down our moral standards. They were
topping already before that began. In
our era religion itself is less binding
and less Of a restraining force than
ever before among Christians and our
public school system is the nursery of
hoodlums because character building
is not in the curriculum. If children
grow up without character thoy have
slight chance Of getting it after they
are grown. THOMAS P. IVY.

An All Too Gifted Leader

Apparently Mr.. Lusk, majority
leader Of the Senate, still seems un-
aware that his occupancy of his po-
siticn is a menace to good citizen
ship and a reflection upon his party.
His grip upon it will have to be
loosened by others if the Legislature
j. to begin the new year unhandi-
capped.
The Legislature has an oppor-
tunity to add to its no.able record
for 1921. Governor Miller has sup
piled 1t with needful and workable
plan for further economies. lie
wants state appropriations, which
last year were ono hundred and
thirty-five millions, cut to ono hun
dl'ed and twenty-five millions. He
wants the Offices of State Engineer,
Highways Commission and State
Architect combined and the officials
to head them to be made appointivc.
He has a plan for the development
Of Che waterways and the use of the
surplus waters Of the Barge Canal
for powcr. New York City has nu-
merous needs to which the Iegisla-
turc must attend. The first Of these
is a new and simpifed charter,
upon which commission is already
at work
The accomplishment Of these
things will bring credit to the Legis-
laturc and to the state admnistra-
tion. They can be best accomplished
by installing Immediately the right
kind of leadership in both houses.
Nh. Lusl's leadership is the wrong
kind. He is known throughout the
state as Silver Service Lusk. The
acceptance Of a gift from special
privilege seekers whose interests he
had served as Senator is, in his eyes.
perfectly proper and blameless.
AS long as Lusk is a legislative
leader the achievements of the SEN
ate will be subject to criticism. It is
perfectly obvious to straight think
ing people that he ought to be got
rid of as speedily as possible.
