LADIES ASSISTING

keepers long for confections for
Sunday dinner without making it

of England for a Ruhr settlement
Only very unsophisticated folk
are swallowing the story that Eng
land and France really want the
same thing and only differ as to
the best way of accomplishing it.
The truth is that France is try
ing to establish herself securely as
dominant continental European
power@and England's trying to pre-
vent this, her traditional policy be-
ing to keep any European rival Of
her own from becoming too strong.
It's exactly such a situation as led
to the last war.
Then it was England and Ger
many. Now it's England and France.

order committee Of the washington
Board Of Trade. The recommendations
are numerous. cover q wide range.
strike the trafiic situation at many
angles and have the backing OF pub

tons are sixty.minute parking In con

ment OF more one.way streets, widen.
ing streets where permissible. narrow
roadways around circles. strict exam.
ination for applicants for license,
designation Of points at which pedes.
trians shall cross streets and many
others. Though numerous and sub.
stantial, there Is nothing revolution.
ary In the recommendations. and some
OF them hold out the promise Of re.
ducing the dangers Of the streets. One
Of the things the committee did not
recommend is that the District govern.

which will make 1t impossible for that
car to run faster than the speed limit

No more delightful literature has
crcpt into the Congressional Record
for many a day than the remarks
Of Harry X. Hawes. representative
from St Louis, delivered in the
of dog-lovers the speech is being
given nationwide circulation in re-
prints. It's purpose is to induce the
Department OF Agriculture to issue
bulletins OF interest to men, women
and children who keep dogs. Here are
| some Of Mr.. Hawes' typical and elo-
quent tributes to the dog:
His story runs back to prehistoric
times. He was used as a sacrifice
upon the altar Of pagan gods. His
place In history, art. fiction and
poetry ranks second only to man.
Next to man. he ranks highest In in
telligence. being susceptible to all
human passions-hatred, love, fear,
hope, joy. distress. courage, timidity
and jealousy. Man requires service
from all animals, but only from this
one receives friendship. He is the
! only animal that eats all of mans
/ food. flesh and vegetable. He is the
delight of the poor mans hovel and
the rich mans mansion. He faith
fully follows his master who tramps
the dusty roadside and sits proudly
| upon the cushioned seat of the mil
| lionaire's de luxe machine. But he
knows the just from the unjust; the
kind from the unkind; the charitable
from the uncharitable: the true from
the false; the man from the hypo-
critic"

The Humanities.

The thought will come to many
readers that the publicity which has
been given to the American travels of
Sir Frederic Kenyon and his enter.
tainment by the American Classical
League may serve as a flip to the
humanities in America. "Humanities'
is a word which people do not often
use now. Though it meant learning
in general, it came to be especially
applied, during the revival Of learning
in the middle. ages, to the study Of
Latin, Greek and Hebrew letters and
literature. A scholar who was disti1.
guished in these branches or in Greek
and Latin was often called q ."hu.
rnanist."
Wide attention has been given to
Sir Frederic in the United states, and
though he Is a man Of many literary
achievements it is for his scholarship
and classical learning that he is SO
much esteemed by a certain element
Of our people. 1t Is classical scholar.

achievements possible. 1t is not com.

Breaking the Boycott.

The French in the Ruhr have re-
Gently been faced with a boycott that
has been decidedly annoying and
handicapping. Troops and officials in
occupation have been refused service
in stores and hotels. The people have
by u private understanding been max
ing the lives of their unwelcome viSi-
tors rather miserable. But the French
are not enduringiy patient. They want
what they want when they want it..
So they have set out to break the boy
colt, and have adopted direct methods.
This is their plan: \ group of soldiers
will drive UP in front of a shop in a
and ask for shoe laces. or some other
article: it is refused: the proprietor
of the shop. and perhaps his assist
ants as well. are arrested and taken
out TO the waiting motor, which is
driven along TO the next place, and
there the process is repeated; after two
or three of these vista tions. with the
motor load of arrests increasing,
the shopkeepers. who through the win
dows see the evidences of the preced.
ing action, become obliglng and the
purchasers are served.
The boycott, it is reported. has thus
been broken. The French are no
longer denied goods or services in the
towns where this process has been ap.
piled. OF course. the Germans are
not yielding pleasantly. They are
growing deeply. But as between max
ing sale and going to Jail they are
choosing the former. %.
This whole situation in the Ruhr is
test of patience. The two national
temperaments are in conflict, and the
question is which will yield. The
French are not getting much coaf. and
save for the fines they have collected
an enormous sum in marks but
netting but little in real cash--no ad-
ditions to the reparations account
But tighter and tighter the screws are
being applied. Who can foreteil the
end? Which of these two contending
dispositions will break first?

ing equipment on. the premises was
wholly Inadequate. Even the city fire
department was handicapped by. rea-
son Of the fact that the nearest water
attachment was $500 feet from the
structure. The barred rooms Of the
inmates were locked and the passa ge-
ways were tortuous and narrow. The
building was a congeries Of additions,
with different levels, difficult of access
in all parts at best and In conditions
Of a fire desperately hard to traverse.
Parsmony on the part of the city
government is Immediately blamed for
this condition resulting In the tragedy.
OF course. it is possible that, even with
the best of equipment, in modern
flreproof building some fatalities would
have occurred in such circumstances.
Insane people are hard to manage In
the best of conditions. and are apt to
be utterly ungoyernable I'm the stress
Of a fire or other excitement. It is
really remarkable that so many out
Of the 1900 were herded TO safety.
Still. the fact stands that an obsolete
structure was permitted TO remain In
service, with such poor facilities for
the fighting Of fire. .-. ..
Somebody will doubtless be blamed
for this. perhaps somebody long since
out of office, or maybe somebody now
in authority. perhaps a number Of peo-
pie, with a wide distribution Of blame.
Municipal administration leaves a
wide margin for the distribution Of
responsibility for lacks and neglects.
During the recent political campaign
much stress was laid by Gov. Smith
upon this matter Of the proper care Of
the states wards. criminal and in
sane. and now he has an opportunity
to apply himself to Il corrective en-
dcavur to root out ali the dangerous
conditions and start the process OF
their cure. But nothing he or any
other official can do will restore the
lives that were sacrificed Sunday
morning. =. ,t

Questions the. Policy of
the Board of Guardians

To the Editor of The star
Why are children taken away from
their mothers on the ground that
these mothers are too poor to care
for them, then given to strangers to
whom a good sum is paid for their
boardo Would not any sane person
say that the poor mother should be paid
the board and allowed to retain her
own child in its own home, instead
Of a stranger acting in the mothers 8
place? And, to make things worse,
these same strangers not only get
paid for the care of these helpless,
motherless children, but in most
cases they work them at an adults
job, getting money for the children
on whose earnings they are living.
This condition is a disgrace worse
than that which stirred England
by the publication of "Oliver Twist"
Let the women's clubs Of this city
take the matter UP. Let every church
organization look into this state of
outrageous affairs. The idea Of TAX
ing tiny children from a poor mother
and instead Of giving her the money
for caring for them to turn that
money over to stranger for their
care is an idea so wild and unreason-
able and unkind as to be almost in
,redible. MRS 7. j. EMMONS.
