Beyond Forgiveness.

THERE are four why the average
resident OF the District OF Columbia wouldn't
desecrate graves in Arlington Cemetery-fear of
public opinion, fear OF the law, fear OF the Lord,
and slight sense OF decency. Those who have
been congregating about this sacred ground for
the past two or three months must be too far
sunk in depravity to be concerned over the judg-
ment OF their fellow men. There may be some
law for them fear but far as we have been
for the Lord-they know OF the great All-Father
only as a name with which to punctuate the oaths
which are forever on their lips As for decency-
in the underworld OF Washington in which they
originate, there is natural condition OF ndeccncy
at the breast OF which they have been sucked as
infants. They know OF no other condition. There
fore, why shouldn't they use the hallowed graves
for whatever purpose is to them most convenient?
There are as said before, four reasons
which might deter them. Three OF these have no
weight whatsoever, considering the class of men
and women who are guilty They fear law wher-
that authority be placed the shoulders of definite
individuals with power to arrest and provide pun
ishment, swift and certain.
Perhaps a great deal OF this sacrilege has
been thoughtless. But it seems to us the most
despicable situation brought to light in the
United States. We might forgive the man who,
sincere in his hatrcds, tore the cruciixes from
churches. We might forgive the man who becv-
ing himself under government of tyrants tramp1ed
the Stars and Stripes in the dust We might for
give the murderer. We might forgive the traitor
But the desecration OF halowed ground seems
unforgiveabc.

Better Streets.

THE MERCHANTS AND MANUFACTURE
i ERS' ASSOCIATION has taken up the
fight for street Improvements in the District of
Columbia. They have found that some thorough
fares in the Capital City of the United States arc
rough that automobile passengers have become
sick while riding them. Such conditions, they
observe. are a disgrace to the city and would be
disgrace to Virginia village
Washington is the only city in the United
States where such situation could continue if the
combined voices OF its leading business men such
as the gentlemen who make up the membership
OF the Merchants and Manufacturers Association,
and its great body of citizens raised in pro-
test Here, however, the most powerful OF civic
and business organizations have almost nothing to
say about what is done with their tax money
They are almost poweress as school children
in any effort to get better roads for themselves
Their influence, however may count for some
thing-even ii they pleading the cause OF the
most convenient object OF government economy in
a day when economy is cherished in every quarter
where it will not cost votes.

Well the coal strike is over. but
where do the plain people. the coal
users come IN? They are minirr
plenty OF coal. but they cannot get
cars enough to haul f. During
the late war. about 1918. while n.
coal stringency was at its highest.
someone discovered that the Chesa-

Cumberland, the home Of bitun-
inous coal. II was estimated that
working the canal full time. the
boats could deliver nearly 1000. OOO
tons 60 Washington in one season
Now why cannot they compel ths
canal folks to open the canal and
haul coal TO our city? DurIng
September and October. before th-
canal freezes over. they could
bring down at least loo. .OOn tons
IL not more. which will he greatly
needed during the coming winter
This would keep our folks from
freezing. and give work TO tho.
canal men. Bituminous coal works
very well in hot water plants in
cases OF emergency. II is not thu
cleanest thing to use. but Il gets
the house warm and f. easy 10

anthracite coal. Why keep this
canal closed when we are at the

Dirty bituminous coal at sll pn-
ton is far superior to anthracite

many blocks of the same type of

Park section of AshevilIe. y. c. and
the attention Of public officials and
real estate concerns throughout the
country is being directed to these
pavements as an example of how
asphalt macadam may he used in
developing new residential areas.
There arc two main parts 20 al
asphalt macadam pavement: ~
The foundation: C2) the wearing
surface.
The foundation may he either nj
the following: Macadam or gravel
Irrespective Of type. the foundation
should be solid. compact and of suf-
fcient depth. and the subgrade un-
der the foundation should he well
drained and solid.
Two main materials make up the
wearing surface of an asphalt maca-
dam pavement: G Broken stone
(2) asphaltic cement.
Construction of Wear ng Surfaces
The steps in constructing the
wearing usrfaces are as follows:
Il. Spread clean. coarse. broker
stone over the foundation. This
stone should be from 1 to 2ls inches
in size. and should be spread so as
to give a minimum thickness of 2h
inches when compacted.
80. Carefully roll the stone which
has been spread. so as to get an
even contour and obtain the great
est possible mechanical bond.
"3. Apply asphaltic cement hv
either the hand pouring or pressure
distributor method. using from I q
to 2L gallons per square yard. The
asphaltic cement should be applied
uniformly and is heated to between
27 and $50 degrees Fahrenheit SO
that it will penetrate thoroughly
the entire depth OF the wearing sur

-. Spread clean q inch stone
over the entire surface immediately
after the application of the asphalt

~. Make the second application
of asphaltic cement in the same
manner as the first application. The
same grade of asphalt is used but
the quantity is less, using from 4
to u gallon per square yard in the
second coat.
IS. Spread y inches stone chips
and then roll thoroughly.
Two Methods Used.
The above described manner of
constructing asphalt macadam roads
Is called the penetration method.
This method gets it's name from
the fact that the asphaltic cement

placed in the road. The asphalt

The Parking Decision.

I UDGE HARDISON, of the District of Column
- bia branch OF Police Court, rules that all
night parking OF automobiles in the streets is
illegal Judge McMahon, of the District of Column
bia branch OF Police Court, rules that the same
practice is legal.
Judge HardSon's decision will not be popular
with thousands OF District people who have been
led to believe by Judge Mcmahon that they are
free from the demands of garage owners Judge
Hardison has right to reverse Judge Mcmahon.
Judge McMahon has right to Judge
Hardison. The automobile owner who parks his
car in front of his home is caught between two
fires. We cannot object to either judicial cdict-
much hearts mpe believe that Judge
Mcmahon is right.
1t is a serious affair at any rate. 1t means
from $40 to $40 month in or out OF the pockets
OF about 10000 District residents.

of vitamins. There are four Vita
minis. one of which has but recently
been discovered. Eating SUFFICIENT
quantities of the protective foods
insures an adequate supply OF at
least three and generally all four
of them. Milk provides, usually,
three of these substances: 1t pro-
vides all four, If it is not heated or
pasteurized before being used. The
leafy vegetables supply in all cases
three of the vitamins. and some of
them contain. in their raw state at
least, all these substances.
But vitamins is not the whole
story either with milk or with the
leafy vegetables. Milk is one of the
most excellent bodybuilding foods
known to man and also furnishes.
among other things, highly valuable
minerals for the construction Of
bones and teeth. The leafy vege
tables supply valuable minerals
needed by the body and bulk. which
tends to prevent constipation.
What Is Wrong With This Dinnerf
Viewed in the light Of the new

this dinner?
Veal Outlets Baked Potatoes

1T sounds like a fairly good
meal. doesn't it? Yet IL does not
use milk in any way. nor does ii
provide any OF the leafy vegetables.
both so essential to health. II the
potatoes were mashed and milk
were served with a cream sauce. raw
cabbage salad substituted for the
gelatin. and caramel custard for the
mince pie. the meal would be just
as attractive. and much better from
the standpoint OF preserving health.
A diet which lacks sufficient
quantities OF these protective foods
brings about poor physical develop
ment. poor teeth. physical inef-
ticienCy and early aging. II is pros.
ably responsible for much nervous
irritabiilty. lack Of enthusiasm, in
tolerance. low spirits and oversen
sitiveness
The new system of diet is very
simple and easy to follow. 1t is
guided by three rules:
"l Everyone should have every
day a quart of milk or its equivalent
in cheese, cottage CheeSe. OF suCn
dishes as custards. ice cream.
junket. cocoa. milk toast or creamed
soups or vegetables.
20 Everyone should eat every
day two salads of fresh. raw, un-
cooked fruits or vegetables. 1t is
well to plrn to eat one of these at
lunch or supper. and the other at
dinner.
such dishes as the following are
good suggestions: Raw carrot
salad: sliced oranges with shredded
cocoanut: raw tomatoes, radishes.
and cucumhers: plain head lettuce:
tomato and egg salad; pear salad:
banana and grapefruit salad:
orange. apple and banana salad:
grapefruit and celery salad; salmon
and orange salad: raw cabbage or
cole slaw; lettuce and raw onion
salad: green onions. celery.
"3. Every day everyone should
have one liberal serving of some
cooked green leafy vegetable such
rs spinach. kale cabbage. collards,
watercress, or tu~nip or beet tops.

for food which will meet the above
conditions. you can. in most cases.

Urges Labor Unions Assume
Stand Against Violence
During Strike,

To the Editor. The Washington Herald
Since acts of violence committed
during strikes result in wtdespread
condemnation of trade unionism. q
seems strange that more active
steps are not taken by labor ORGAN
izations to make clear that their
preparation is recognized as moth
ing short OF a deadly blow to union
ism. Unfortunately. many thous-
ands OF persons who would not de-
vote ten minutes TO a careful reacA
ing OF the claims OF both sides In a
strike, Will peruse columns OF mat
ter devoted to some act or alleged
act Of violence committed during
its course. overlooking the really
significant thing that the striker
resortinC to violence is scarcely one
in a thousand
IL would seem the part Of wis
dom to insert in the onurStiu-
taken when joining a trade uui-n
provision somewhat as follows: I
solemnly promise that will abstain
from all acts Of violence during any
strike or lockout in which this
union is engaged or with which Il 10
connected. and will refuse to coun-
tenznce any such acts by others. in
the full conviction that such acts
cannot fail TO discredit the cause OF
trade unionism."
Believing the strike 20 be the
most effective instrument organized
labor commands. the writer views
with solicitude anything that tends
to discredit Il in the estimation OF
disinterested persons. Cnionism
seems an absolutely essential con-
dition TO reasonable wages and
proper working conditions the

Misdirected Fanaticism.

NUJITHIN the past two months two attempts
!. " have been made to assassinate the pres-
w dent OF France. 1t is difficult to under
stand why any fanatic should desire to kill M. Mil
-ierand-who is a harmless gentleman with rather
innocent record The head of the French Republic
probably has the least power for good or evil OF
any ruler in Europe. 1t be seen easily why
some men might desire kill the prime minister
or any individual in his cabinet. These men
possess power. They stand for policies. They
represent the political France which is both loved
and hated feared and respected. They represent
the France which makes and makes peace,
signs treaties and breaks them, and forms tire
mendous influence either for good or bad through
the world.
But this is not the France the president repre-
sents. He stands before the world the repre-
sentative Of the French people-of the France that
is loved universally. He does not represent the
France that dictates terms. the France OF armies,
the France OF politicians He represents the France
OF peasants, OF artisans, OF business Of chill
dren with wooden Shoes and OF wrinked old

There is something incompatible, it seems to
US, between the ambitious brilliant NJ. Poincare
and the plowman following his oxen. We cannot
catch the heart of the French people in the

CITY PLANNERS FACE PROBLEM

Pavement Question First to Be Solved by
Municipal Engineers.

with housing conditions through
out the country only slightly i'm
proved. and with the continued de-
sire OF most city dwellers to have
their homes in suburban sections,
instead of the heart of the city, the
subject of developing new residen-

Importance among city engineers
and city planners" says Municipal
and County Engineering.
ITO be successful, new home areas
must be beautiful and attractive as
well as within a convenient dis

ma agazine.
In making these new real estate
sections beautiful. realtors and city
engineers have found that the prob
lem of paved streets is one of the
first to be solved; and after Consid-
cradle study and planning they have
decided that the type OF pavement
in newly developed home area
must have these features:
Il. A pavement easily and quickly
constructed.
80. Economical and low in first
cost.
"3. Beautiful in appearance and
suited for the traffic.

district includes numerous vehicles,
yet the type of traffic is not the
heaviest. 1t usually includes pleas

more permanent type of pavement,
like sheet asphalt. is not required

Consequently asphalt macadam
has been most satisfactorily used,
because it is durable and lasting

This type of pavement has also
