Butterflies never stay alone at night.
Evening star., 1923-06-10

Parmelee, director Of the bureau of
railway economics, said the roads
would expend this year S197 900, 600
for new locomotives and s415, 1000, 900
for freight cars. In addition to all
this, they would lay out $432, 600, 600
for roadbeds and terminals.
Commissioner Potter made a signifi-
cant suggestion. Noting that the roads
had been handling upward Of 10000
600 tons Of coal a week, he asked II a
campaign to move 100000 tons a
week for a short time would not result
in flooding markets, getting coal prices
on a strictly competitive basis. shut
ting down coal mines whose produc-
ton is made at a high cost, releasing
labor supply and relieving the situa-
tion for the general public. Mr.. Ash
ton replied that such a movement
might have the suggested result, but
that terminal, track and car conditions
would have to be studied.
If the railroads are planning and ex-
pecting large increases in cars and bet
terment in general the public hopes
that some portion of these benefits
will be applied to relieving the coal
situation.

Railroad Activities.

At a hearing before the Interstate
Commerce Commission spokes-
man for the railroads presented
figures and facts which made an I'M
pressive showing of the ability of the
carriers to handle the vast volume Of
freight expected to be carried in the
remaining months Of 1928. This is to
be accomplished through the expendi-
ture of more than a billion dollars for
cars, locomotives and other better
ments. This spokesman said that dur
ing recent months, when traffic ex-
ceeded In volume all seasonal records,
car shortage had been constantly
diminishing and freight movements
continuously bettered.
An interesting sidelisht was thrown
upon the traffic situation when Mr.
Ashton. the spokesman, reported that
during the week ended May 10 as
much as 9s1, 900 carloads had been
taken on the rails. That is, indeed, in
dicative Of the notable boom in bust
ness which is observable throughout
the length and breadth of the land. but
is not marker to what is expected in
the fall, when the crops are TO be
moved, and this summer, when the
coal for the winters industrial uses is
laid down.
It is in anticipation Of still further
demands upon the railroads that they
are pushing with all rapidity the pur.
chase OF cars and locomotives as fast
as they can be turned out. DR.. j. p.

Street Festivals.

Last Thursday night Pennsylvania
avenue In this city was the scene Of a
great street dance Of the people. Tens
Of thousands assembled, and to the
music of bands transmitted by wires
and amplifers enjoyed themselves on
the pavement. 1t was the first time
that the capital has been the scene of
such a festival Of public pleasure, but
it is to be hoped that it is not the last
occasion for such a diversion.
Recently one Of the New York
churches conducted parish street
,,drty," which was so marked sue
cess as to win the praise of the entire
metropolitan press and to attract at
ant;on from other cities. This was ST.
George Church, at 10th street and
Stuyvesant Square. This church has
been known for q long time for its
somewhat unusual methods. A mum.
ber Of years ago Rev. DR.. Rainsford in.
rroduced certain innovations along the
line Of making II social institution as
well as a religious establishment. This
Evening star., 1923-06-10

recent parish party consisted Of a
program OF outdoor eveRts, including
motion pictures, a band concert, folk
singing, folk dances in costumes and
general street dancing, with illumina-
tions and refreshments. The streets
were closed by permission Of the city
authorities, and fully 5000 people par
ticipated.
Why should not the Washington
churches do something OF this sort?
They give bazaars and festivals from
time to time to raise money for this or
that purpose, but usually these affairs
are held within doors or in restricted
outdoor spaces. Thursday nights af-
fair shows that the streets can be used
for dancing. While as a rule the
churches do not foster dancing, there
are other features Of public entertain
ment that can be planned for street
programs. And also there are other
organizations than churches that may
use the streets under reasonable regu-
lations and restrictions for community
gatherings.
The social work feature Of the serv.
ice rendered by the churches has be-
come most important. One Of the par
ticular purposes of gatherings under
church auspices for diversion is to
make the people acquainted. AS re-
suit of the st. George Church parish
party" the members of that congrega-
ton, old and young. have come into
closer relationship and better under
standing.
Without doubt the District Commits
sioners would approve such enterprises
for street gatherings under the au-
spices of churches or other organiza-
tions, possibly the citizens associa-
tions. Washington should be the scene
Of numerous parties" Of this kind to
add to the gayety of life and to develop
the community spirit.

Shrine Traffic Lessons.

The Shrine convention has taught
Washington an important traffic les
son. 1t has shown conclusively that,
with the proper number Of one-way
streets, an adequate downtown police
force and care on the part Of motorist
and pedestrian, accidents are not nee
essary in congested traffic.
Washington has experienced during
the past week the heaviest volume of
automobile and pedestrian traffic in
it's history. That mishaps were in the
minority is tribute TO its regulation,
the police and the people.
Probably the greatest factor in the
cutting down of accidents was the es-
tablishment Of one-way streets They
have been conspicuous success. With
the exception of X street. which is
wide enough for two-way traffic, and
some minor thoroughfares, they should
be permanently retained.
Eventually, why not now" said
one business man when asked his
opinion Of the one-way-street propo-
sentiment of business Washington.
Motorists favor the plan because it
makes for easier car operation; bust
ness men favor it because they realize
that Washington must have upto-
date traffic laws. and the police favor
il on account Of the frictionless run
ming of a great volume Of automo-
biles.
The parking problem in Washing
ton is still an open question. 1t has
proved itself d peculiar one during the
convention. The merchants have
claimed that parking downtown was
ruinous to business; parking was pro-
hibited and business departed; park
ing was resumed and hack came bust.
ness.
Parking has in this way proved that
il is valuable aid TO the merchants.
1t is certain that complete elimination
Of downtown parking would be the
beginning of a fight. However, with
traffic constantly on the increase, the
time may not be far off when certain
downtown streets will have TO be kept
clear.
At any event. the Shriners have
cessfully controlled in the National
Capital: that the police are capable
and efficient when cooperating in it's
regulation, and that the motorists and
pedestrians can work together for ac-
cident elimination.

Cuno's COMPENSATION.

Considering the difficulties of the
job of the chancellor of Germany it
might be expected that his stipend
would be a large one, certainly as
large as that of at least a chief of bu-
reau in this country. He has many
troubles. He must face the monarchist
right and the socialist left in the
pathetic center as well. He must write
letters to the allies and stall off the
payment Of reparations. He must
fence with France on the Ruhr occu-
patton, and while preventing further
advances into German territory hold
the German radicals in check To avoid
riotous disturbances that invite addi-
tional encroachments upon the terri
tory. He must remain polite to Rus
sia while avoiding the spread Of soviet
influence in Germany. He has far
more difficulties in his premier's port.
folio than any other head of govern
mental administration today.
According to the June salary budget
salary list of the German government
is topped with the chancellor's com.
pensation, at the stupendous figure of
1,039.000 marks a week. Then he gets
an allowance for his wife and children
which brings his weekly pay up 10 l.
331 200 marks week.
Some pay. But in marks. What is
il in regular money? All. that is an
other story. The chanceilor's stipend
on his own account is $3.50 week,
and for himself and his family SIC.
And this is the highest compensation
in the government budget. The rates
of pay for the officials range down to
the charwoman, who gets 100000
marks a week. which works out at the
present rate Of exchange at s1.25.
Who wants the job of chancellor at
$3.50 week? Herr Cuno would prob
ably sell out to anybody for a crisp
twenty. y.dollar bill every seven days.

A Practical Program.

The statement made yesterday by
the chairman of the board of children's
guardians ancnt the policies Of the
board is clear-cut. II will serve "a most
useful purpose in dispelling once and
for all any possible misconception as
to the lines along which the board pro-
poses to function in caring for the
wards of the community.
Mr.. MILAN announces that the board
Is in favor of placing the children un-
der its care in proper private homes.
and that it is going to use the Indus
trial Home School. recently placed un-
der its control. as Il receiving home,
where these children may be observed
until their individual complexes are
determined and 4 desirable private
home found.
1t requires no adherence to any
TO believe that for normal child the
private home OF irreproachable atmos-
phere is preferable to an institution
Or that to determine whether given
child Is normal and to find proper
home calls for the maintenance of an
establishment where the child may be
properly cared for.
The policy of the board. as an
nounced by its chairman, happily
meets the dictates of Congress, of the
District commissioners. OF the latest
theories of child welfare and Of horse
sense. II makes it quite clear that
any friction which impedes the smooth
running of the board today is the after
math of former controversy and Of
personal antipathies rather than any
divergence of opinion as to the wisdom
of current policies.
That friction must. and doubtless
will, promptly be removed. The board
of childrens guardians has a most I'M
portant public duty TO perform-the
duty of arranging for and supervising g
the proper upbringing of the wards Of
the community. Without doubt a
majority. if not all. of the board
is agreed upon a practical pro-
gram to the indicated end. And if
one reason or another to lend their
best efforts to the harmonious fulfill
ment Of that program the best inter
ests Of the children intrusted TO the
boards care will be served by their
withdrawal or replacement.

On his forthcoming trip across the

every station where his special train
will stop. Be II city or village, the
bands will be there blowing out the
familiar strains. 1t has always been
so with a travelling President. and
probably will continue unto the end.
The Shrine parades developed the
Evening star., 1923-06-10

fact that even here in the nations
capital there is really no conception
on the part of the man in the street
as to duty to salute the American
nag Hundreds OF thousands un-
thinking men stood along the side
walks or sat in the reviewing stands
paying not the slightest attention as
nag after flag was carried by in all
que reverence by the marching
Masons. About the only punctilious
persons who witnessed the parade
were those who sat in the presi-
Dental stand. They could not be
otherwise, for the President led them
IN salute to each passing ensign.
And always at his side arose Mrs.
Harding, who made little statement
later that she thought IL equally the
duty of both man and woman to
salute the flag. Apparently to most
OF the men who saw the parades there
was never a thought of lifting the
hat to Old Glory
This thoughtless disrespect to the
fag-and no one believes for a min
ute that one person in ten thousand
intended disrespect-brings up a
rather serious question as to parades
in the future. Either there should be
a published reminder in advance that
every man and woman watching a
formal parade must In some manner
salute the flag. or else the flag should
not be borne in parades at the ex-
pchSc VI btIHS the
lockers. Perhaps, as has been
charged. the flag is used too promis-
cuously in decorations from one end
or the country to the other, so that
the sight of II has become so common
as to lead to the very state of affairs
National Capital.
The strict police rules enforced at
the parades and other functions OF
Shrine week recalled to John Hays
Hammond an experience he had on
one occasion when he was accom-
panying President Taft on a Swing
around the circle" The presidential
party was stopping and banqueting
at famous hotel in Riverside. Calf.
y Gordon Of state militiamen was
thrown about the hotel and orders were
issued that no person could enter the
sacred precincts without the proper
credentials. Mr.. Hammond. having
arrived with the President, was safely
inside and also was Immediately
dressed for dinner, when with half
an hour to spare, IL occurred to him
he might take a stroll down one OF
the wide Riverside thoroughfares.
Recognizing that some sort of for
mality was necessary to get out and
then get in again. the distinguished ed
mining engineer approached one Of
the soldiers.
"Old man." he said in the friendliest
sort of way, Il want to step down
the street. YOU will know me, OF
course. when I return.

he lowered his rife and let Mr.. liam

about to pass when the man in khaki
barred the way.

would know me when I got back"
