The Feud With Jim Crow.

livery spring farmers revive their old feud
- with the Jim Crow family, carrying a
desultory battle by of scarecrows, epithets.
and the more effective deterrents OF coal tar and
poison.
But, like most outlaws, the bird has some
points that commended among law abiding ct-
zens.
His springtme ravages the cornheld are
largely responsible for his unsavory reputation but
he has added to it by occasional raids on the pou-
try yard depredations wild birds, and attacks
crops other than corn. At certain seasons and
in certain localities he becomes such nuisance
and detriment to farming that he must be warned
by making example of some member of his gang
Jim is only about half bad, and because of his
better half, which does not his wife, who is
just black he is it is not advisable to treat
him too harshly. Nearly one-6fth OF his food is
made up of insects, and he includes on his menu
of the farmers worst enemies-grasshoppers,
caterpllars and white grubs and their parents the
May beetles.
Probably could get along so we'll with
out Jim Crow with him. Killing off the whole
family, if that possible, would be a short
sighted policy. So, when the United States De-
partment of Agriculture recommends the poisoning
of crows, this measure should be looked upon
merely a warning to Jim and his family that
they have been going too far and that they can't
get away with everything. They are wary enough
not to need many rcpcttions of the lesson at least
not in

in quite the same channels as the mind Of the
masculine SEX
"Not guilty, but don't do it again" seems to be
the gist of the finding.
Commissioner Oyster is satisfied; Maj Sullivan
is satisfied, Inspector Evans Chat knightly MANI
is satisfied Satisfied also, we hope, is Lieut.. Van
Wrinkle.
The case might easily have been elevated to the
tragic. What fine figure of martyr the head
of the Woman's Bureau, Metropolitan Police De-
psrtment, might have made had more severe
finding been returned How the village whist clubs
and cherch benefit associations from Maine to
California, from Galveston, Tex, to Butte Mont,
would have made capital of the injustice piled upon
the fair sex had Mrs Van Wrinkle suffered any
real punishment
The Amazons, history tells US, were a mighty
effective fighting force But we'll venture to say
they didn't have regimental guardhouses for the
correction of disciplinary Also it hath been
rumored, there were general orders regarding
standard style of hair dressing. Such measures
would not have proved effective. The poor girls
would simply have dismissed them with "a good
cry"
Woman pslice forces must be considered very
much in the same light. AS long as left alone to
function in their own fashion, incomprehensible
though it may be to mere men, they usually will
accomplish something. Restrained by man-made
rules their efficiency becomes destroyed
Man only offer gentle, tactful, diplo-
matte word of guidance now and then-and sit aside
and wonder.
1t would be sorry day for the peace Of mind
of the and of the heads of the police
department if one of these women became a
martyr to man-made rules.

urges American industrial leaders
to give serious study to German
plans.
"Insufficient attention has been
given to the role which standardiza-
tion is playing in German industrial
reconstruction" he continues. The
German industries are planning and
are carrying out a far-reaching
program of Standardization as a
necessary step in building up an
unprecedented industrial structure
which must rest in large measure
on an intensive foreign trade. In
no other country except Great
Britain is Standardization work
being carried on upon a scale or
with an intensity comparable to
that in Germany"
Dean KimbalI says that mass
production is no longer primarily
an American development, but that
the lesson of the war has brought
home to European countries reali-
zation of it's significance. so that
today in these countries far-reach-
ing programs of industrial stand
ardization are being carried out.
These countries are employing sys?
tematic cooperative effort of in
dustries functioning through ma
tional industrial associations tech
nical societies and government
bureaus.
"It behooves managers of Ameri-
can industries to intensity their ef-
forts toward Standardization or
they will be left behind in the COM
petition for world commerce. To
reap the full benefits the work
must be broadened and intensified
and made national in its scope.
This requires the joint effort OF
manager and engineer, of producer,
distributor. consumer and inde-
pendent specialist. all speaking
through the organized bodies which
represent their interests.
"The many benefits of standard
ization are by no means limited to
the production side. In the long
run Standardization is bound to be
of even greater Importance in the
reduction of distribution and SELL
ing costs-perhaps the most i'm
portant problem of our economic
system. A comprehensive program
of Standardization planned and
carried out by our great national
Industries will mean the. saving of
hundreds of millions-even billion
of dollars"

to complete the emancipation Of

raison d'otre in the old-fashioned
Bible, while not always marks Uf
progressive evolution, are never
theless evidences of change, and
so. appropriate to the present ka-
leidoscopic age.
should like to suggest. how
ever. that the church does not go
far enough. when II retains a ring
service, stripped. il is true. of its
economic features. but nevertheless
making IL necessary for the wom-
an to wear a special mark
badge of shame. some cynics have
called it. While there are various
legends as to the origin OF the use
Of the ring, all equally believable.
the church ought to recall that one
of these has il that the gold ring
had its origin in the prehistoric
cumtom of the male forging an
iron ring about the neck of his
captive female, so that he could
fasten her to his abode. when she
sought ema ancipation and freedom.
Be that as il may. we ought
really not to ask women to receive
4 special mark to compel them to
wear something we as rule do
not. to emphasize by that the in
equality of sexes, which we. OF
course, all know now is as extinct
as the dodo. 1t surprised me con-
siderably to see that the church
had overlooked this fact in its sub
mission to present-day demands for
revision.

Holy Week.

TVOLY WEEK falls amidst the years first
RI wild passion OF blossoms.
a L Forty days of pennance near their culmina-
ZION In rituals of sorrow six days the Chris
riar world will Over the altars of churches
bscI mantles drape.
.ll-tmed seem the litanies Of red-breasts among
--sr-y blossoms. Rather the melancholy winds Of
Vow mber nights-bugles sounding open
grsrs.
Scenes of the Passion Play unfold-the coming
20 f.rusalem. the Last Supper, the vigil of Geth-
sens ne, the of PLATE, three crosses on CAL
vz-y-
over the hearts of men, despite nature; hangs
a.; mist. Through the souls OF sublime re-
QUEENS sound.
And then the stone rolled away from the grave,
the risen Redeemer Six days more to the resur-
rection of humanity-the time of rejoicing.
During Holy Week strong ties bind the Chris
tan races together. BY mound kneel the pa
tons-friend and foe-in spiritual armistice Rus
sia in ragged garments; France, battered and weep
ing; Germany and Austria-all have common pen.
The sun next Sunday will rise Easter. But
the Holy Week of the world bids fair to continue 1t
has been long Lent since IoI4-s sorrowful, mel
ancholy season for suffering peoples.
But signs increase betokening that the day of
resurrection may be near-that a hand yet unseen
may roll away the lstones and Eastertide come for
all the world.
America indeed has spent much of this world
Lent amidst the uttering of cherry blossom petals.
Our penance, however inconvenient, has been light
indeed compared with that visited on the peoples of
the Old World. We have been the most favored Of
the dsciples-for to us has never grown uncertain
the promise of happier days to come.
But in the ears of some of the others that
promise must many times sound dim and distant
to be known only by other generations.

Better Than Bus.

To the EditOr, The Washington Herald:
In my humble opinion. your criti-
clsms OF the one-man street car an
ply with even greater force against
the ene-man bus, now being advo-
Gated as substitute. Ingress and
egress are alike in both vehicles.
but there is decidedly more breath
ing space in the street car. Also
the latter is far less subject to col
lisions than the bus, especially
where the latter is in charge OF a
reckless driver making up time
when the roadway Is crowded with
traffic. as usually is the case on
Sixteenth street.
With its small windows and its
almost inaccessible door at the
front, passengers in a bus would
have slight chance OF escape in case
of a collision or other accident. I
notice you do not advocate the one
man bus and presume il is because
you realize that the use of that We
hicle does not meet the objections
to the one-man car.
Very respectfully,

Within the past few months we have seen

Wheat has increased 40 per cent.
Sheep have doubled.
Cotton has doubled.

He can count with confidence on the proper

Prewar relations between the prices of prin-

that relation, unless world cataclysm de-
