The Young Idea.

According to the evidence at hand
male students thrive best-in an educa-
tional way-when they flock by them
selves. In a series Of investigations, ex-
tending over a period of eight years. in
one of the great coeducational institu-
tionS Of the middle west, it is disclosed
that the segregated males make more
substantial progress in learning and
their examinations rank higher than
those Of boys in mixed classes. But the
same research reveals the odd fact that
with the girls the conditions are re-
versed. The female students make the
best progress when exposed to the COM
petition of the male. In either case the
girls indicate higher scholarship than
the boys Of the same age and classifica-
tion. On the face Of the returns coed
ucational institutions are not to be rec
commended for male pupils. Perhaps
the boys study the girls more than their
lessons. The female pupil, however. can
thrive on the presence of the male. Even
fove-making will not interfere with her
Intellectual progress. 1t rather sharpens
her mind. A girl may have her noddle
full of filtration stuff and yet be calmly
proficient in mathematics The male is
more apt to have a one-track mind. If
there is anything to divert it from Its
established course his progress Is inn
paired. What we want Is segregated
colleges for the males and mixed ones
for the girls. How can this be ar
ranged?-Los Angeles Times Undepend-

Amending Amendment One.

If Congress should insert in the new
fiscal legislation merely the provision
that District taxes should in 1928 Tor
earlierl be paid in two installments,
one-half the 1st of October and the
other half the LIST of April, the end
would be accomplished of preventing
the nation from making advances to
the District of any part of the Dis
trict's so per cent share of capital eX-
penditures for 1928. For if at the be-
ginning of 1928 the District had no
surplus whatever on hand, and the 25
per cent expenditures Of the first quar-
ter We're paid entirely by the nation,
there would be no advance by the ma
tion to the District Of any part of the
Districts so per cent share. The ma
ton is itself 40 per cent. joint con-
tributor to these 1928 expenditures,
and If it paid the expenses of the first
quarter alone it would merely be pay
ing 25 out of it's own 40 per cent con-
tribution and would be advancing
none of the Districts so per cent con-
tribution. A joint contributor would
have to exhaust his own contribution
before he could begin to charge inter-
est for advances to his co-contributor
AS between nation and taxpayers
Of the capital, the former. with all
the assets Of both joint contributors
in it's possession and under its abso-
lutte and exclusive control, would nat
urally pay its contributive share as a
portion of such share first in meeting
District expenditures. if the capitals
welfare required it. The primary OBJ
legation of capital maintenance and
upbuilding is upon the nation. and If
the nation, without making any ad-
vances to the District upon its go per
cent contribution. merely pays first a
portion Of its own 40 per cent con-
tribution, recognition Of this conceded
primary obligation Of the nation will
be given at inf1nitesimal expense to
Uncle Sam.

Walter Reed Hospital.

Final decision in the matter Of the
location Of the government hospital
for the fourth district should not be
rendered until the fullest considera-
tion has been given to the opportunity
offered at Walter Reed for such an in
stitution. The present indication is
that the plan to establish the hospital
there by the enlargement of the plant
will be abandoned. The reasons given.
however, are not convincing. 1t is
suggested that there are now 500 va
cant beds in government hospitals in
this city. That does not demonstrate
that Washington is not the proper
place for one Of the proposed new es-
Establishments. 1t is rather reflection
upon the assignment Of patients.
But if the final decision is against
Walter Reed as the basis for the new
hospital, there should be no doubt as
to the temporary equipment there. All
Of the wartime structures should be
replaced speedily with permanent con-
structions. Walter Reed Hospital
should not be permitted to remain a
menace to the lives and the health of
the patients cared for there. With the
enlargement Of the grounds there Is
abundant room for the erection of
substantial new buildings Of the most
approved design and the most durable
materials. Neglect of this matter may
cause terrible catastrophe.

The Lamonds Death Trap.

Citizens OF Takoma Park are asking
for an appropriation for the elimina-
ton Of a dangerous grade crossing at
Lamonds Station. Several people have
been killed at that point, and it is vir-
tually a certainty that others will be
killed. so long as the railroad tracks
are crossed at grade. There is no
known way to make grade crossing
safe. Every few days the news dis
patches tell Of deaths at such places.
usually near large cities. Washing
ton paid hAavily in death toll at these
traps before the city itself was cleared
Of them. The work of making the
streets and roads safe in the suburbs
has Jagged. 1t should be pressed. and
no consideration of expense should
stand in the way of immediate action.
There should be no grade crossing
within the District of Columbia.

Story of Daniel Webster House
Which Has Passed as Landmark

The house and lots were sold by

wife Julia. by deed recorded June S.

Mr.. Corcoran in the square was by

cured ownership of the whole square.
The assessment records of the Dis
trict show that no improveme ents had
been made in this square up to 1924.
The assessment books from 1924 to
1929 are missing. The assessment
record book covering the years 1929
to 1888 shows that a building as
sessed at $4,000 had been erected on
the lot at the southwest corner of the
square and assessed in the name of
Thomas Swami. The house was built
most likely between 1924 and 1929
by Thomas Swami, who was district
attorney for the District of Column
bia from 1921 to 1888, succeeding Gen.
Walter Jones. and being succeeded
by Francis Scott Key. Swami bought
the lot in 1924.

There is another and probably older
Webster tree in the capital. 1t has
been dead some time and only its
tall trunk stands, overgrown with
ivy.
On the south side of Hardwood
road. east of Soldiers Home, is the
Robinson estate, on which many
years ago stood the home of John
Agg. The property, seventy-five acres,
was bought from Ages heirs in the
middle fifties by Conway Robinson,
a Richmond lawyer of wide note and
extensive practice. On the property
then was a frame house. in which
Agg had lived. John Agg had built
that house for his overseer, but after
the burning of his mansion in those
grounds moved into the smaller
house. When Conway Robinson
built the fine brick house which
stands on this property the little
house of Agg was in great decrepi-
tude and Robinson tore ii down and
used part of the material in building
a cottage for his gardener. You may
see that cottage today. Close to the
site of Agg's frame house and the
site on which his mansion stood are

1t is an ugly and unpleasant mess

F'ilipinos may simply be copying us

But this is year when men and
women with the right to vote should
exercise that right by all means. No

We are striving for normalcy, and
it is a stupendous job. The size of it
has hardly yet been ascertained. But

Unearthing War Frauds.

The country will be gratified to learn
from Attorney General Daugherty
that the Department Of Justice has
progressed in it's investigation of
frauds against the government in con-
nection with war contracts to the
point where q number Of important
cases are in shape for presentation to
- grand jury. Men who deliberately
defrauded the government at a time
when their fellow citizens were max.
ing untold sacrifices-thousands of
them making the supreme sacrifice of
life and limb-were guilty Of disloyalty
and treason Of the most odious kind,
and no punishment provided by law
for such offenses Is too severe. Men
are now in prison because their sin
cere convictions led them into disloyal
action and utterances, and their Of
Tending Is, light. indeed. compared
with that Of men who robbed the gov
ernment for no reason except their
greed for sordid profits. ..
A seriously disquieting sentence in
Mr.. Daugherty's letter to the Presi-
dent is his assertion that influential
personages in the government who
had knowledge Of these transactions
and were in position to make dis
closures were personally interested in
concealing them" 1t is reassuring to
be told that "the country will soon
have reason to know" that this Is
true, because an intolerable situation
Is created which should not be per-
mitted to endure q minute longer than
is necessary to serve the ends of JUS
tice: 1t places under a cloud all "in-
fiuential personages" in the govern
ment who had to do with war con-
tracts, and every day which the many
who are innocent must bear the
stigma which should attach only to
the few who may be guilty not only
adds to q grave injustice but It does

. The Stars Enlarged Plant.

Now in the seventeen year of lts
existence, The Star has constantly
kept pace with its growth in circula-
ton by increasing from time to time
its equipment and facilities of publlca-
ton. Its successive additions ana Ell
larsements have been both the erect
and the cause of its advance. When
a little more than twenty years ago II
greatly added to its plant by the erec-
ton of a complete new building on the
site of that in which it had been
housed for long period. II was
thought that it was permanently
equipped. But those twenty years
brought great changes in Washington
large additions to the population ana
consequently increased circulation 10
The Star and to it's use by the ousi-
ness interests of the capital in the an
nouncemept of their wares and public
offerings.
This growth, rejecting the growth
of Washington, brought its enoar-
rassments to The Star. 1t became
cramped in its once adequate quarters.
1t REQUIRED more space in every de-
partment. Fortunately it was able 10
add to its plant without removal from
its historic site. 1t proceeded as quick
" as possible to enlarge its estapi1sil-
uent. and today it sets forth. IN
snecial number. the story of that inr-
provement. realizing that all Star
readers and Star users are interested
and concerned in matters that relate
to its progress and its capacity Tor
adequately presenting the news and
reaching the public.
Those pages of today's issue which
relate to the new building fully tell
the story of The Stars growth ana It's
present outfit. They present pictures
which illustrate not merely the expan'
sion of space but the processes which
SO to the daily making of The Star.
They give a conception of what Is be-
I;eyed to be one of the most complete
and efficient newspaper plants IN the
world. They are printed in the belief
that this community is concerned in
the welfare and interested in the ma
terial equipment of newspaper that
has for seven decades represented
Washington and fought for Washing
tons development and prosperity.
The Star owes its prosperity and the
growth of it's influence and tthe i'm
= provement of it's facilities as news
paper to the steadfast support and
loyalty of the people of the capital. IT
has always endeavored to represent
them in their needs and their wishes.
It is proud of that support, and 1t is
proud now of the plant which enables
It to present daily the best possible
newspaper. That plant is open to the
inspection of the people who are daily
Star readers and users. 1t is The
Stars hope that they will come and
see for themselves how the daily mar
vel of publication is accomplished.

1DE publicity has been
NV given to the fact that the
v Washington home of DAN

toH nome OIL Ddn-
iel Webster has been torn
down to clear the site for great
building which the United States
Chamber of Commerce will erect.
Heaps of broken plaster. bricks, laths
and lumber now litter the ground
where up to a little while ago stood
the big red brick house which all
Washington knew as the Corcoran
Mansion. The link between Daniel
Webster and the property is a short
one.
Webster came to Washington as a
member of Congress from New Hamp-
shire in 1913 and remained two terms
until 1917, when he returned to
New Hampshire, then removed to
Boston and came back to Washington
from Massachusetts. He became a
member of the Senate in 1927 and re-
manned in Washington as senator
and cabinet officer till 1854. the year
of his death at Marshfield. During
all this time Webster lived at various
hotels and in "lodgings." The prop
erty on H street stood in his name
from 1874 till 1S47.
X X =: x
There have been statements that
this property was presented to him
by friends, and it is perhaps fact,
but records to support this have not
been found. 1t has been said that
Webster lived in this house during
his negotiations with Lord Ashbur-
ton, special ambassador to the United
Cf.,f
airy and other disputes between the
United States and Great Britain.
Those negotiations were carried on
in 1S42-43, and Webster retired from
the post of Secretary of State in
Tyler's cabinet in 1s43. the year be-
fore the date of his deed to the prop
erty. 1t is possible that he may have
been living there as a tenant under
the Swami family. the owners.
The deed to Daniel Webster was
from Robert p. Swami of Loudoun
county. Va, and Richard Smith of
Washington. the latter being trus-
tee to secure money advanced to
Thomas Swami by the Bank of Wash
ington and George Bomford. Thomas
Swami had taken certain lots
in the square as devisee Of his
father. Thomas Swami, who obtained
the land by purchase, August IS. 1927.
from Gen. James Breckenridge and
his wife Ann. who obtained it by pur-
chase under deed of February II, 1917.
from Mary Pattison, to. whom the
whole square was devised by Samuel
Davidson, Original proprietor" by
his will dated in 1905 and probated
in 1910.
The house in question and certain
lots adjoining that on which the
house stood were bought under a deed
recorded December II, 1s47, by Moses
Grinnell of New York from Richard
Smith of Washington, Daniel Web
ster. Thomas Swami Of Baltimore
and r. NJ. Blatchford and Prescott
Hall of New York city. The consid-
Grafton named was 81. The presence
of Richard Smith in the deed shows
that the Bank of Washington held a
trust on the property, and the pres
ence of Swami heirs shows that they
still had title in the property.
