BOULEVARD MOTOR RULES

TWO outstanding motor traffic rules are
i enforced BY the Park Commission on the
Tairmount drives. One is drawn to pro.
hibit the use Of smoking mo,orcars in the
Park. The other puts strict limitation on
''parking,' especially after nghtfall. With
She extension Of the Park Commission = au
khority to the new bouevards these rules
have been applied automatically on these
open thoroughfares. So objections have
naturally risen which will be aired tomorrow
It hearing arranged BY the Park Commis-
lioners at the request OF residents Of the
Roosevelt Boulevard region
1t is unfair, of course. for the cOmmis-
Stoners or any one else to deny th" right Of
Q resident on a large and roomy thorough
fare 10 park his machine at his own curb.
There is no need for any ironrlGd parking
restriction on the Roosevelt Boulevard. But
there Is full justification for the commission
rule against smoking automobiles. The
smoke from n badly adjusted gasoline engine
fs ruinous to shrubbery and bad for the gem
eral health. Moreover. it Is Il sign OF negii-
gence in the owner or driver of the faulty
machine. In enforcing this rule on the
new boulevards the Park Commissioners
present a good example to the police. who
make no serious effort TO prevent motor
drivers from filling the mir with poisonous
gas and smoke even though an ordinance to
restrict that general nuisance is on the city \

probably does.
Washington, under the surface. is, OF
course, no better than any other large and
busy city with mixed population. When
some Of our other troubles are over It may
be worth while to asitate for clean.up OF
Washington. There are too many people
about the seat Of government who have no
visible means Of support. The sort of cx-
posurc which Mrs. Van Wrinkle might be
able to start might cause some Of them to
seek other places Of residence. 1t isn't re-
assuring to hear of high jinks organized in
lobbyists palaces for some Of the minor
politicians. Nor Is Il nice 70 hear from
Mrs. Van winkle that Washinston's high.

THE VANITY OF MAN

THFFORTS Of the sophomore class in the
II University of Pennsylvania TO bring
about the adoption of knckerbockers are
Temporarily blocked by the objection Of the
bow legged students. They are loath to
abandon the full length trousers which con.
zeal their curves.
This manifestation Of vanity would not
have been possible q century or two ago,
when knee -brceches were worn universally.
Franklin wore them. SO did Washington,
and so did all their contemporaries. And
for formal occasions the breeches were made
Of silk or velvet and no one complained or
ridiculed, as Colonel Harvey has been ridi-
culed for wearing knee brecches at the wed
ding OF Princess Mary in London.
Before the knee brooches came into fash
ION long hose were worn covering the whole
leg and revealing all its Irregularities. The
hose of the rich were silk and those of the
poor were woolen. If It were proposed to
go far enough back for the precedent, it
could be understood why the University stu
dents might object TO the adoption of the
costume OF the fifteenth or the sixteenth
century: but why there should be objection
to the costume Of Franklin It Is difficult to
understand on any other theory than that the
students with poor legs are too vain to
wish to exhibit them.
Now the happers with their short skirts
but that Is something else again.

ANTl-HATE

uAIE, deliberately organized. has become
IL the newest of political and economic
weapons. But hate is a destructive force.
1t begets hatred. That is why the first
statement of principles of Alanson II.
Houghton, the new American Ambassador
to Germany, has most refreshing sound.
Mr.. Houghton isn't going to take any manu-
featured hate with him to Berlin. He has
no faith in it. He Is convinced that 1t can
do no good And Of course he is right.
Much Of the hate prevalent in Europe has
been made to order by politicians. The
masses Of the plain people, the driven null
titudes in oil the affected countries, are help
less victims Of this mental poison. They
may yet have to bleed for 1t again. It Is
possible to hold the Germans to their obi.
cations without perpetuating hatred against
all of them. And It Is true, as Mr.. Hough.
ton observes. that the hater will inevitably
suffer more from his hatred than the hatee.
1t is about time that the world cleared
Its mind Of the remnants of some Of the more
reckless war propaganda and remembered
that there are women and children in Ger
many and a new generation. and that some-
thing must be left of that vast liberal and
democratic element that would have set up
real democratic government in Germany
within q very few years if It hadn't been
deliberately overwhelmed and martyrcd In
the war

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

IT WAS remarked on this page the other
i day that 1t was conceivable that the City
Council might insist that the Fair Com
nittee abandon its purpose to get along
without director general or executive head.
Indications Of the attitude Of the Council
have already begun to appear. Senator
Ware. from whom many OF the Counctlmen
gladly take orders. says that tho biggest
man that can be found should be quickly
selected as director general, on the ground
that such an enterprise cannot succeed
without single responsible directing head.
Councilman Hall, who says that he sug.
Eested Mr.. Hoover for the place. Is still OF
the opinion that man OF national reputa-
ton should be chosen. His second choice is
Colonel Goethals. who built the Panama
Canal. and he believes that the best avail.
able man should be secured no matter where
he lives.
Councilman Weglein's candidate Is W.
Freeland Kendrick. but. candidates aside.
he is convinced that there should be Il single
directing head TO the enterprise who can
persuade all interests to work harmoniously
toward common end.
II is not necessary to get the car 10 the
ground TO discover the direction III which
public sentiment is moving. The air is filled
with expressions Of dissatisfaction with the
way the preliminary arrangements are being
made. Unless heed Is given to this there is
no telling what sort of blow-up there
will be-

LODGE AND LONDON

COLONEL HARVEY will have to make
~ worse break than any Of which he has
been guilty before President Harding will
recall him from London.
Mr.. Harding appointed the colonel against
the advice Of his friends because the colonel
wanted the Office and because he had been
useful In the campaign. 1t was the kind OF
an appointment which every President has
made. Mr.. Harding is II friendly man. toll
Grant Of the peculiarities of others. II was
his human side which dictated the Harvey
appointment.
This does not justify It, however. The
colonel was not a worthy successor Of tho
distinguished men who have filed the post.
and since he has been in London he has not
exhibited any remarkable diplomatic apti-
tude. Men in touch with the British capital
are saying that the early recall Of Harvey is
expected there. and reasons for It are given
which will not surprise those acquainted
with him here. But it is likely that he will
be allowed to hold on until he gets ready to
come home unless he makes so serious
break that lie will have to be removed.
The suggestion of Senator Lodge as a
possible successor to Harvey Is doubtless
made in order to see how the country will
take it. Considerable opposition to the re-
election OF the Senator has developed IN
Massachusetts. He will be seventy-two
years oiu Ill May, ana WOulu De seventy
eight when his term expired IL he were re-
elected. It IS conceivable that he would
like TO retire from the Senate and spend the
next few years in the American Embassy in
London. lie has been member OF the
Committee on Foreign Affairs for q long
time and It's chairman since the Republicans
came into control of the Senate. II ap-
pointed he would enter the diplomatic serv-
ice with u better equipment than Is common.
But Lodge IN London would cause the
cynical to smile. There has been no more
persistent twister OF the lions tail in
American public life for the last generation
than he. Those familiar with the ancestry
of large group of Boston and Massachu-
setts voters have assumed that the Senator'S
official attitude toward Great Britain was
dictated by considerations of political ex-
pediency, and that these same considerations
were in part responsible for his attitude
toward the Versailles Treaty. Now, to send
an Anglophobe to London to strengthen the
ties Of friendship between England and
America might be successful. II certainly
would he audacious, and it might also be
the most subtle kind of domestic politics

The promoters of Philadelphia Art Week

A FEATURE OF THE FAIR

TTHE enterprise Of the Pullman Company

fair Of 1926 ia replctc with interest. In all
great international cxpoS!tiOns displays of
agencies Of transportation have been con-
spicuous features. Visitors to the Centen-
nal Of 1870 were fascinated BY the locomo-
tive section typifying the marvels of railway
progress. 1t would be amusing to study one
OF those monarchs Of the steel road today
watch chain toys compared with their huge
impressive descendants. An instructive ex-
hiblt Of passenger coach Development also
could be made. Vestibules were virtually
unknown In the Centennial age. All.steel
coaches we're decades from OK stencc.
Another chapter in the history Of railway
rolling stock was emphasized at the Colum-
ban Fair in Chicago, where the gayly
painted English compartment carriages were
found surprisingly comfortable and not with
out certain quaint charm
1t IS presumed that the leading foreign
railways will be represented at tho Sesgui-

naturally be made with the thoroughly

An INCENTIVE to artistic consciousness

gram for Art Week which will be celebrated
in this city from April 20 TO April 20. The

not be feared.
