Making Theaters Safe.

TOR THE majority of Washington's theater
= arrangements the period since the evening
- of January 2S has been one of trial. Some
houses temporarily closed Immediately after
the Knickerbocker calamity and attendances at
others greatly curtailed Later came the
order barring the doors of large number. Some
have since been reopened permanently so far at
least the Commissioners present intent extends.
Others have been granted the grace of few
weeks of light before they must be darkened to
the public again. One of the same ownership as
the. illfated structure at Eighteenth street and
Columbia road still rests beneath the ban officials
expressing themselves as completely mystihed by
the attitude of the local government toward re-
opening.
The latest ukase of the District heads makes
mandatory the installation of steel curtains before
proscenium arches within thirty days from yester-
day.. Some managers do not believe they pos
sibly obtain the structural supplies necessary and
complete renoyatons upon which such installation
is contingent on so short notice. Another closing
confronts them, then.
1t must be recorded to the credit of theater
men that whatever impatience they may have felt
over the several actions of the municipal heads has
been within themselves contained They realize,
even though heavy loss has been sustained since
the bzzard-shrouded calamity of late January, that
the train of events following the Knickerbocker
collapse has been the sequel to an occurrence OF
unrvalled tragedy in the District. The drastic
orders the delays in rulings, the supereaution (em-
braeing public places of congregation, it must be
remembered as we'll as those conducted by private
enterprise) all are the nescapabe consequences of a
catastrophe that wrenched every heart in the Capt.
ta and for the time cast doubt upon the safety of
every auditorium in it.
The losses and inconvenience have been borne
in silence. The results will be than worth all
the trouble. Washington's theaters and halls OF
assembly ought to be the safest in the nation when
all renovations are concluded and the local amuse-
nent world is stable once more.

French and British Troubles.

NGLO-FRENCH differences might as well
~ have had airing during the past few
months any time in the future, for the indis-
pensable prerequisites to European reconstruction
is thorough understanding and both agreements
and controversies should be settled in the open.
Writers on international topics constantly re-
mind us that the friction between these great
brothers-at-arms is thing of no sudden growth,
but the development of generations; centuries,
declare The immediate causes of less
heated exchanges between them succinctly set
forth BY the Christian Science Monitor, which
minds us that the political discord between France
and Great Britain, of which the American public
seems to have been happily unaware until the
Washington conference, existed long before the
world war and, though account of the common
danger and thanks to the censorship, little was
printed on the subject, it existed during that
test. Officially 'un accord complet announced
at the end of every conference, while, as matter
of fact some very dramatic incidents
bally reported. The economic interests of France
and Great Britain differ those of the North and
South differed before the American civil yar and as
the Interests of the agricultural Middle West differ
from those of the industrial East today. If there is
to be harmony at the approaching Genoa confer
cnce, the irritating of these frictons must be
soothcd.
%IndustriaIy speaking, France and England are
not Of the same generation. Owing to peculiarites
in soil, climate and location, France has remained
an agricultural country, while England has become
primarily country of shop workers and traders
The development of French industriasm has been
delayed, not only by inborn conservatism, lack of
raw s,naterals, such coal and iron, but also by
political circumstances. From 1871 to 1914 it
hampered by German competition, which, through
the most favored nation clause in the treaty of
frankfurt, able to prevent the French from
making reciprocal tariff arrangements with friendly
nations without giving Germany the same advan-

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
The Republican party is commit

tion?
1t is inconceivable that the
party leaders do not know and fully
realize the predicament their pres
ent and late actions, or rather lack
of action. but attitude, will In
evitably bring them.
Just prior. during and some since
the war, the United States was sim
ply drunk with prosperity. and
needless to say, we labored OIL
blindly, weighing nothing, but al
lowing and granting every conces-
sion or request, however unreason-
able, and simply passed 1t on to the
Eext fellow.
Not unlike from any other stupor

and so it is with Uncle Sam; he has

was the ratification OF the eigh-

experience this pampered law pro

than saved or elevated. Further

81 am just now. answering
through the press a statement made
by a representative on the floor of
Congress that for the past few
years conditions under prohibition
have been nothing but straight
hell by quoting the highest au-
thority of the nation, President
Harding, who stated recently:
In every community men and
women have had an opportunity
now to know what prohibition
means. They know that debts are
mere promptly paid, families better
fed and clothed, and more money
finds its way into the savings
banks. The liquor traffic was de-
structive of much that was most
precious In American life. In an

COncurs in Water Color
Criticism,

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
Noticing a few days ago an ar
ticle in these columns relative to
the recent water color exhibit at
the Corcoran Gallery of Art, 1 am
stimulated to present a few OF my
opinions on the subject. / quite
agree with the statements made
and could hardly believe my eyes
when I read of the straightforward
truth of the present exhibition now
in the Corcoran. 1t really seems a
pity that these pictures are hung
among work of merit, as the con-
trast Is very severe and gives
strangers a decidedly poor concep-
tion of the value OF Washington
critics. l was in the gallery a few
days ago and heard remarks from
several as they gazed into the room.
They did not even take time TO go
in and give them the once over. I
quite agree with the statement that
IL an exhibit was held of the re-
jected pictures Washington would
be far better represented in the field
of art. Some folks will say that
art changes, etc. But when we
speak of art, we mean art. and not
mere splashes of every conceivable
color. Art in pictures should
parallel that in music. poetry.
prose, photography. needlework.
etc. and anyone starting about to
improve on methods of old masters
has stepped just a little beyond his
authority. Drawing and color

just the same. No matter what
Greece may do they will not be able
to please them, unless she gives
Them all the fruits and trophies of
her sacrifices and victories. The
present government of Greece
should not he any better or worse
than Nenizelos was. as far as they
represent the same people and the
same policy.
Since the general election of No
Vember. 1920. and the ensuing
plebiscite. thc allies have refused to
recognize the king, on the prepos-
ferrous ground that he was pro-
German. But they recognize the
Greek government. and therefore
they admit that Greeks are free
and sovereign people, and they are
entitled to self-determination. II
they recognize the right OF the
Greeks TO elect their rulers why
should they take exception to the
person of the king? And IL the
people also are pro-German, why
they do they recognize their gov
ernment? And il the king. the
government and the people are pro-
German, they must also be pro-
Turkish, therefore. friends of the
Italians and of the French, since
they too are pro-Turkish. And il
the allies believe that the king and
the government are pro-German
and pro-Turkish. and that the lat
ter's sole and cardinal aim is to
secure their recognition by the al
lies. willing to sacrifice for the
said recognition the fruits of
Greece's participation in the war
and Of Venizelos' diplomacy, and IL
the pacification of the Near East
is sought by the allies at any
price, why then do they not recog-
nize the king and the government
Immediately to secure that precious
peace? Wouldn't that be the
quickest and easiest solution? But
II is obvious that only the Greek
people are determined to recover
Northern Eperous and the Dode-
canece. and TO maintain Thrace and
lonia. but also the king and the
government are equally determined
TO do the same thing. in spite Of
the Turks. the French and the
Italians. all of which proves to an
unbiased mind that the Greek peo-
pie, the government and the king
are simply pro-Greck. and that as
matter of fact the allies are
really pro-Turkish.
The recognition Of the king is
the simplest right which the Greek
people demand from all the other
democratic peoples Of the world.
The Greeks will prefer TO fight
for 100 years. il necessary. to safe

Greece conceded this right to the
allies or anyone. she would humili-
ate herself and acknowledge her
political bankruptcy. There is no
nation. however small. with a grain
Of self-respect that would allow
such a fatal intrusion. The king
is the highest servant of the Greek

CAN DECIPHER CHARRED
rAPER PHOTOGRAPHICALLY.

A method OF decipherinE com
pletely black charred paper from
which important ink records have
been apparently completely defaccd
by fire has been discovered by RAJ
mond Davis, chief Of the photo
graphic laboratory OF the Bureau or
Standards of the Department Of
Records that were contained in
n practically air-tight safe were
"harred beyond recognition in
fire at Augusta Ga The Bureau OF
Standards was appealed to by tic
postmaster at Augusta to restore
the carbonized records to read
ability.
Chemical means OF restoring thr
ink were resorted to without sue
cess. Then Photographic methoae
we're tried.
The charred record sheet was la.d
between two Photographic plates,
with the emulsion sides OF the
plates next to the carbonized pa
per. For two weeks they were al
owed TO remain in contact. Then
the Photographic plates were de-
veloped in the ordinary way.
A perfectly decipherable image or
the valuable records on the sheet
was the result. Contact Of the
charred paper had affected the pho
tographic plate. but where the ink
had been the Photographic chemi-
Gals of the plate were urchangod
The writing that had been on the
paper could thus be read The on.v
difficulty in the decipherinC was
that the writing on both sides Of
the paper showed on both plates,
but that on the closer side Of tae
paper was the stronger on each
plate.
When Photographic plates were
first packed for sale the manufas.
turers were in the habit OF plar-
ing printed instructions inside tne
boxes next to the plates. They so9n
had to abandon this practice. -
they found that after the package
had stood for a time the papcr
formed an image on the plates aud
spoiled them. 1t Is believed that
this phenomenon is similar TO IL.
one that Mr.. Davis has utilized.
