Brick Saves Painting Costs

Brick walls need never be painted. Even wood
work-such as doors and window frames in the brick
home requires painting only half as often as a frame
building because of less e~xposure-they are protected
by the face of the wall.
Consider how brick saves you money. The painted
house should be re-painted every two or three years
to keep up its appearance and retard decay. The
painting cost for the average house is about 5000. 1t
is safe to say an average brick home would mean a
saving of at least $50 every year.
Consider this saving, and the other savings of the
brick home, less repairs, less depreciation, less heat
ing, and its clear that the brick home is by far the
most economical home. At the same time it is the
warmest, dryest and most comfortable home that you
can build.

NEW ONE DOLLARS BILLS ISSUED

Hereafter all bills of the same de-
domination will look exactly alike,
but will be entirely different in ap-
pearance from bills of other denom-
nations. Thousands of new 81 bills
have been placed at the disposal of
banks.
The object of the change is to
make counterfeiting doubly difficult.
Under the new system it will be al
most impossible to raise 81 bill to
$40 bill or 50 bill to a $40 bill be-
cause of difference in appearance.
The new 81 bill bears the picture
OF George Washington where the
picture of the eagle now is. The
eagle has been taken off. The new
bills start with the number Ala.
The first bill ALA will be presented
to President Coolidge.

Police Call Gongs.

1t is proposed to install gongs on
all police patrol boxes in the District.
The purpose is to enable headquar-
tiers to summon policemen to the tele-
phones quickly upon emergency. At
present IL headquarters wishes to com.
municate with a man on beat 1t must
wait until he turns in his hourly re-
port call from a box. In a few cases
boxes have gongs on them In the
downtown section, but in the great
majority Of cases the boxes are vir.
tually dead so far as calls from
headquarters to the force are con-
cerned.
Occasion does not often arise for
headquarters to communicate quickly
with the men on particular beats, or
on all beats, but when they do come
it is desirable that this communication
be made as speedy as possible.
Under the general call system, with
a gong on each box, IL a crime occurs

power, so to speak, for when they are
added to the non.F n.Flepiish-speaking
people those who speak only Flemish
are in the minority.
During the war the Germans made
a point OF being easy with the Flemish
speaking population of Belgium. This
was a move of policy in an effort to
wean away the Fleminss from the Bel
gian government. which, though fugi-
tive and holding to only a very small
bit of territory, was recognized
throughout the conflict by the people.
That some of the Flemings fell under
the German influence is undeniable.
After the armistice was signed and
the Belgian government moved back
to Brussels there were many trials for
treason and condemnations on that
charge among those who had thus
yielded to the Establishments and
temptations of the German invaders
during the war. Feeling in Belgium
ran high against these people, and
there was a sharp reaction, indeed.
against the Flemings in general. The
adjustments on the language question,
which had been in progress before the
war broke, were seriously upset by
these new conditions. The issue of the
University Of Client, where the stu
dents have demanded the establish
ment of the Flemish language as
dominant, has precipitated the aues-
ton, but, as the cabinet crisis now
passed indicates. there is small prob
ability of a break in the present or
ganization. Indeed. such a break over
the language question would be a dis
aster for Belgium. and would seriously
affect the solidarity OF the Franco
Belgian alliance. The suspicion is al
ready voiced that in large part this
recent revival Of the language ques-
ton in Belgium is the result of inf1u-
ences from east Of the boundary.

The senator then proceeds to set

concludes his statement with the fol-

utterance:

Latest Suggested War Code Meets
With General Approval.
III ripht-hr1tt

All Ht-DGt.
That would seem to express the
opinion of the majority Of American
editors who have discussed the new
code of rules for warfare drafted by
the international commission Of jur-
lists at The Hague.
They recall that 1t was at The
Hague that many plans for interna-
tional peace were drafted only to be
shot to helr' by the usages of ma
tions in the late war, starting out
with the various examples of German
frightfulness. The failure of the
rules to end submarine development.
to restrict the use of poison gas, or.
in fact. to do much more than al
ready has been suggested in protect
ing civilian populations is a disap-
pointment most editors confess.

aid. The aircraft code lays down
for aerial bombardment much the
same rules as The Hague conven-
y
and naval bombardment." goes on the
New York Tribune. Yet. admitting
that this is so, and the Manchester
Union does SO whole-heartedly, the
fact that five great powers will ac-
cept these new rules ought to be
proof of the sincerity of observance
of the code in time of belligerency.
If these important provisions even
tually receive the sanction of all OF
the leading powers Of the world there
certainly will be no excuse for
repetition of many of the atrocities
that occurred during the world war"
That is very much the viewpoint
of the Buffalo News. which agrees
that, after all. this is merely code
of honor. The radio and airplane
code is designed simply to apply es-
tablished principles of conduct in
munication and action that were de-
veloped during the world war and
since But in its provision outlaw
ing the bombing of civilian popula-
tions from the air. and in other ways,
1t marks a far step forward in the
direction of binding nations to a re-
gard for humanity. Unfortunately
the temper of the day does not ad-
NIT yet of the assurance that there
will be no more wars. So 1t is of
great Importance that rules of con-
duct be set down. and, IL possible,
enforced" The Decatur Herald is
fully convinced that the United States
and all other nations directly con-
cerned will, of course. approve the
new rules When 1T next comes to
grips with an enemy of equal
strength the United States will send
airplanes to bomb cities. churches
and hospitals, and so will every other
signer of the new conventions. There
Is some possibility that war will be
prevented by the establishment of
effective international organization,
but there Is no slightest possibility
that war will ever be regulated.

Merger of Railroads.
Injustice Cited in Proposal for
Compulsory Consolidation.

TO the Editor OF The Star:
The press recently reported Senator
Cummins as in favor Of the compul-
sorry consolidation of the railroads by
act of the Congress.
No one can doubt that a merger of
the railroads, IL wisely grouped, is
greatly to be desired, and that by the
resulting efficiency and decrease there
by made possible in the costs of oper-
alton and maintenance freight rates
could be greatly lowered. which has
become a necessity. for the farming
interests of the country.
But the question is: Can 1t be COM
PEELED by law? I entertain a great
a lawyer and public servant. and
when he advocates a public measure
involving legal proposition I assume
he sincerely believes there is consti-
tutional authority for 1t.
AS his view on this question is so
contrary to anything can nnd in the
courteous letter asking II he would
inform me what provision or provi-
sions of the Constitution authorized
Congress, in his opinion, to compel a
consolidation or the roads. So far he
has not favored me with q reply.
1t looks to me like downright con-
fiscatfon to merge q road that, per-
haps, ought never to have been built;
that has never earned more than the
interest on its bonds, and which prob
ably will never earn more, with a
road of very great earning capacity
by reason of it's fortunate location
and efficient management, and take
the money Of the security holders of
the latter and give 1t to the former.
This would certainly appear to be
taking property without due process
of law, and would be making a use
and application of the interstate
commerce clause OF the Constitution
that was never contemplated by the
trainers of the Constitution or by the
people who put their fortunes into
the construction of the railroads of
this country. Such an act would
seem not only to violate express pro-
hibitions of the Constitution, but
would be contrary to every principle
of just and civilized government,
such as we claim ours to be.
l can see no way for such consoli-
dations except by voluntary arrange
ments OF the roads themselves, who
may be constrained thereto by neces-
sity in course OF time and the COM
pelling influence of public opinion.

The Auditorium.

Work on the Washington Audi.
torium goes forward, and announce
ments are made that all but $3.50, 900
Of the 100000 fund required for the
erection of the building has been sub

for within a short time, and that the
auditorium will be finished in Novem-
Der. Already there Is talk of booking
conventions.
1t has been no easy matter to put
across" this big hall project, and those
who have done 1t are entitled to felici-
tations and substantial reward. A
great hall for conventions at Wash
ington has been talked about for
thirty or forty years. Various plans
have been laid for raising the money,
but the big hall for the accommodation
of the largest conventions Is only now
building.
Failures in the past cannot prop

but full credit should be given those
who have carried the auditorium this

the job will be finished next fall.
Washington is far richer and more
populous and prosperous city than
when the need for a great hall for big
gatherings began to be publicly dis
cussed. Building prices and all other
prices are much higher, but the money
is forthcoming and passes more freely
from hand to hand. Men now think
and talk in thousands, whereas only a
few years ago they thought and talked
in hundreds or in tens and twenties.

Washington has long felt. and 1t will
