A Long and Useful Passionate.

The pulpit Of Washington loses a
beloved and valuable active occupant
in the retirement Of Rev. DR.. Wallace
Radcliffe from the pastorate Of the
New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church. after twenty-seven years Of
active service. He has reached an age
at which he is entitled to rest from his
pastoral duties. which he has dis
charged with energy and fidelity. Com
ing here from Detroit, after q success
full pastorate there. he has been in
strumental in the development Of his
church. the membership Of which has
materially increased In the course Of
his term. DR.. Radcliffe has through
out his long local service effectively
identified himself with civic move
ments. with all works making for the
betterment Of the community. He has
been unfailingly ready for duty in any
enterprise making for the develop
ment Of the capital, while unremitting
in his pastoral services. He has been
an influence for good throughout his
long term Of duty here. and it Is the
hope of his host Of friends and Of those
who are not personally acquainted
with him, yet know Of his good works,
that he will be spared for many years
to come for enjoyment Of the leisure
Of his retirement from active service
as a resident Of Washington.

Frost and Fruit,

News Of damage to fruit by frost
comes from nearby districts and from
the orchard regions which lie farther
from Washington in the Shenandoah
and Monocacy valleys and on the
slopes and foothills Of the Blue Ridge
and Alleghanies. 1t is reported from
Winchester that the frost Of Friday
night killed so per cent of the apple
buds Of Frederick county, Va. The
normal annual output Of that county
is $4,000 barrels Of apples, with a
large volume Of other fruits. Sunday
nights frost was heavier than that of
Friday night in such localities as have
been heard from. and damage to fruit
is probably severe.
There has been frost throughout the
middle Atlantic and New England
states and in the Ohio valley and the
region Of the great lakes. The weather
bureau reports freezing temperature
last night At Buffalo. Cincinnati and
Portland. and temperature low enough
for the formation Of frost under Ger
tain conditions at many places. Frost
BPS been widespread in the upper
Potomac valley and the Shenandoah
and Monocacy valleys. and 10 believed

A Temple Of Science,

Washington,s character as the CEN
ter of things scientific, artistic and
literary in. this country is to be more
clearly defined by the erection Of an
other national headquarters building
here. The National Academy Of
Sciences is to proceed at once with
the erection Of a temple Of science,
fronting on Potomac Park, which will
doubtless be one Of the most striking
architectural features Of the capital.
1t is to cost, 1t is now estimated, ST.
SOC. 900, and Is designed to conform to
the surroundings and to express its
purpose effectively. 1t will add an
other place OF great interest for the
thousands who come to Washington.

It will be Of especial value In that it
will present in graphic. tangible man.

One by one organizations Of a coun.

ligious bodies are choosing the capital

most attractive features Of the city.
Not only in the number Of these e.
adjustments but in their character
Washington is gaining distinctly. It is
Offering more abundantly Of interest
to people Of every line Of study and
work. 1t is becoming pre-eminently
the research city Of the country. where

fectively. Possessing the largest Of

scientific and technical laboratories
and museums. and already the founda-
tions Of the most attractive group Of

notification that any clauses Of that
compact conflicting with the treaty Of
Versailles would be regarded as null
and void.
This reduces the Rapallo treaty to a
fairly innocuous document. and makes
1t possible for France to go ahead in
disregard Of It. The Russians. in &C
cepting In principle the program
formulated by the allied experts at
London. had already negatived some
Of the most Objectionable features Of
the Russo-German understanding. and
now that the Germans give silent as
sent to the proposition that any pro-
visions in conflict with the Versailles
treaty shall be regarded as void, there
Is not much left in the way Of pros
pective gain for the sharp trick which
the ENJOYS from Moscow and Berlin
had apparently played upon the other
powers sitting at Genoa.
There still is the possibility that
there may Turk in the Rapallo treaty
the nucleus Of military alliance be-
tween Germany and Russia. but that
menace is not nearly so serious as 1t
seemed a few days ago. The screws
have been applied. and both Germany
and Russia have shown that the bold
fronts they had put on were consti-
tpted very largely Of bluff. And there
is nothing much less dangerous than
a buffer who has been called, at least
until he has had time to get back
courage and selft-confldence.

Mexico.

President Obregon Is right. He need
not be disturbed by any talk on this
side Of the border about American In.
Prevention in Mexican affairs. No
spirit Of that kind exists. AS matters
stand. none Is likely to arise.
There are two reasons. The situa-
ton in Mexico does not warrant any
such spirit. and we have troubles Of
our own. War. anywhere, In any be
half. is not In responsible American
thought today.
This is not to say that the situation
ing. AS matter Of fact. 1t is not. I'M
proved as II is over any situation that
country has known since the fall Of
Diaz. 1t might yet be better, and would
be il the old relations between Amer.
lea and Mexico were restored.
American recognition of the Obregon
government would carry with 1t much
Of a Strengthening character. 1t
would encourage and increase Amer
lean investments In Mexico. and
through them much good to the coun.
try would result. An undeveloped
country. rich In natural resources
often finds its best interests promoted
by an inflow Of foreign capital in the
hands of capable and experienced
owners.
America as a next-door neighbor has
deplored the turmoil that has existed
IN Mexico for more than decade, and
would be glad to assist in the bringing
about Of permanent relief: and Secre-
tary Hughes has stated the case so
frankly and clearly there is disappoint-
ment that his overture has so far
been without acceptance.

Frost in the country Immediately
adjacent to Washington seems not to
have done much damage to blooming
fruit tress except to those standing
on low land. Frost bites harder and
quicker in low spots, and when there
is no wind. Though the large fruit
growing districts of Virginia and
Maryland are at q considerable eleva-
ton, and the nights have been breezy,
yet the temperature seems to have
been low enough to kill a large per-
centage Of the buds. Though the re-
ports are now far from encouraging,
1t is hoped that the damage will not
prove to be as great a. 1t now appears.
There was practically no fruit crop
in the east last year, the buds and
tiny fruits having been killed by
freezes that followed warm weather in
the spring. The loss to fruit and vege-
table growers was heavy, and, of
course, all consumers sustained loss
also. Fruit and vegetable growers in
the neighborhood Of Washington and
throughout the Potomac states were
hard hit.
There is slight popular conception
Of the magnitude Of the fruit and
vegetable culture near Washington.
In the matter Of apple growing Vir-
ginia is not lower than third. and Is
probably second in the list Of states.
At the last count the four big apple
states were New York. with 9.636.000
bearing trees; Washington. with T.
964. 1000: Virginia. with 7.3S5.000. and
Pennsylvania. with 6.9S1. 900. At the
time Of that count the number Of trees
not in bearing was 2.s32,000 for New
York. 1851. 900 for Virginia and g.
100000 for Pennsylvania, with the
state Of Washington SO TAR down the
list as not to be in the running.
Fruit culture IN western Maryland
is q big industry. Around Washing
ton and in the lower Potomac and
Fatuxent valleys fruit growing Is max
ing gains. and tidewater Maryland
and Virginia are in the first rank Of
berry-growing regions.

Civilization.

There are now 1880 miles Of paved
or surfaced highways in the United
States-more than there are or ever
were in any other country in the
world. They have all been built, too.
within comparatively few years.
When the system provided for in the
federal highway act is completed. the
Agricultural Department reports, the
improved mileage will amount to
10000 miles.
The process will keep right on. with
accelerating speed. establishing new
trunk lines across the continent and
up and down, in a transportation sys-
tenn Of ever-growing fneness and
durability.
Imagine all this network Of good
roads swept away-the condition in
which it would leave the country and
the inevitable deterioration that
would follow.
Good roads are civilization. There
has never been a high state OF civili-
cation without dependable tEansporta-
ton routes connecting every locality
with every other. and still less will
there ever be hereafter. You can
measure modern human progress
pretty accurately by its road-buildine

An Important Capture.

Capture Of a man who confesses to
have been engaged for some time past
tn burglaries in this city and else
where is a bit Of good policing that
calls for special communication. This
man, according to his own tale. has
stolen goods worth over 100000 In
this city. Doubtless many mysterious
thefts viii now be solved through his
confessions and through the Identified
ton Of loot. Much Of the property
stolen by him, however. Is gone be-
yond recovery, as he has proceeded
with unusual care and skill in dispos-
ing Of his goods. He Is q clever work
man, but hts career should now be
definitely closed. There should be no
doubt whatever about his conviction
and sentence to such q long term that
he will never again be able to ply his
craft.
Several things remain, however. to
be cleared up in connection with his
arrest. For one thing. the location Of
the Fence" IN Baltimore to which he
has referred as his clearing house for
the disposal Of his loot. AS long as
these thieves markets remain In opera
ton the work Of the police in tracing
thefts is extremely difficult. Then
there Is the question Of whether Lau-
ION worked always alone or with
gang. There are evidences that he
had associates In his operations. These
should be caught. Finally. he is said
to have declared that he had squared"
the Baltimore police, a charge that de-
mands, the fullest investigation. Wash
ington has an interest in this alleged
police-fixing. for If the law officers of
the neighboring city are corrupted by
the crooks tho capital must suffer
through lack Of cooperation there
with the police Of this city.
Taken altogether, this is one Of the
most important captures ever made
by the local police department. and
the detectives who recognized and ar
rested Lauzon are entitled to the
warmest congratulations and thanks
for their service.

ECENTLY the prisoners at the
Joliet. ILL.,. penitentiary were
asked to suggest ways and

means of ending the crime
wave now surging over the land. AL
most unanimously they suggested the
elimination Of the practice Of con-
filming first offenders with older and
more hardened criminals.
This idea was one of the theories
of DR.. Katherine b. Davis when she
held the office of commissioner Of
correction of New York city. DR..
Davis, who is we'll known in WASH
ington, considered the association Of
the novice in crime with the ex-
perienced man as certain to produce
one result-a more skillful and eff
ficient criminal when the novice re-
turned to civil life.
Embittered by his confinement, re-
buffed by a public wary of hiring
men who have done time" filled
with vast amount of information
about crime. warned what to avoid
to escape detection, instructed in the
tricks Of the trade" he was almost
certain to seek his living by law
breaking, and instead of the state
benefiting by his imprisonment. 1t
would have a much harder task In
controlling him.
DR.. Davis believed that the ma
jority of the first offenders offended
through circumstances and environ
ment, rather than a natural tendency
toward lawbreaking She consider
ed that careful training and the in
stilling Of right principles would re-
store the criminals to the status OF
good citizens. She believed that the
cramped, high-tension life of the city.
offering on every side inducements to
transgress. was responsible for the
greater part of the erring.
Through her efforts a farm was
procured out in one of the most
fertile spots of Orange county. the
greatest gardening and dairying Sec
ton of the state. To this farm, locat-
ed at New Hampton. she sent a de-
tachment of young men serving their
first terms. with a few guards in
charge. They were put on their
JOY almost entire freedom, in con-
trast to confinement, If they would
promise to make no effort to escape.
This advance guard set to work.
cleaned and cleared up the farm and
constructed wooden barracks for the
larger number coming later.
When the second detachment came
the real work began. The boys for
the greater part were boys. were first
ing where they were taught the car
dinal truth governing the entire
project, that they were men and that
a real man kept his word.
