The American Civic Association

A host of leaders in civic develop
ment from many cities are in Wash
ington. and are in session today under
the auspices Of the American Civic
Association. That association and the
committees created through its lnflu-
erce in more than fifty American
cities are pledged to labor for the de-
velopment of Washington into the
worlds most splendid Capital. The
American Civic Association has taken
it's stand for the bill which would
create commission consisting of the
Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary
of War. chairmen of the House and
Senate committees on public buildings
and grounds and the Engineer Com
missioner of the District ito acquire
such lands as in its judgment shall
be necessary and desirable in the Dis
trict of Columbia and adjacent areas
in MARYLAND and Virginia" The pur-
pose of that bill is to preserve scenery
and forest near Washington, conserve
the flow of streams. prevent pollution
of brooks and rivers and provide
systematic and continuous develop
ment of parks and Fairgrounds. The
association stands for carrying out, SO
far as it can be done, the Capital plan
of L'Enfant, and applying certain
major features Of that plan, or the
spirit of the plan, 10 the city, which
has grown and which is to grow be-
yond the bounds of the Washington
that was surveyed in 1891.
A year ago the association matured
its plan to press fer Capital develop
ment. and to secure cooperation OF
Americans in all parts of the country.
To date more than fifty committees
have been organized in more than
fifty cities to aid in the promotion of
the associations plans for Washing
ton. The present meeting in Washing
ton is of representatives of those COM
mittees.

Suburban Floods.

Recent rains caused the overflow of
branches and the flooding of Maryland
villages adjacent to Washington. Part
of Bladensburg was under water, and
a section of the Washington-Baltim
boulevard and other roads were closed
to traffic. 1t is condition that has
happened many times, and the county
of Prince Georges or the state of
MARYLAND might devise a plan to save
that section from future flood losses.
The boulevard might. be raised and a
concrete wall built along Northwest
branch and the Eastern branch where
they pass through lowland. Bladens-
burg is near the head of tide in the
Eastern branch, and the water flow of
a large section joins the river there.
Indian creek heads in the ancient
iron mining district near Muirkirk.
and runs .southerly by Beltsville, Col
lege Park and Hyattsville. A large
number of streams join it, and impor-
tant among them is Beaver Dam creek,
which is the trunk of a system of
streams Between Hyattsville and
Bladensburg Northwest branch joins
Indian creek, and the stream from
that junction is called the Eastern
branch, though that name is also given
to Indian creek for an uncertain dis

Forest Protection Week.

President Coolidge has proclaimed
the'week of April 21-27 as Forest Pro-
lection week, and urges upon gov
ernors of the states that where not in
conflict with state laws or customs
they celebrate Arbor day within that
week. Conservation and restoration of
forest have become one of our prob
lens of high Importance. This is recog-
nized by a large and increasing mum.
ber of the people, and setting apart a
week for discussion of and thought
upon this matter will add countless

streams. The President tells the peo-
pie that forests are among their great
natural resources, and that forests.
widely distributed and maintained in a
condition of high productiveness. are
essential to the prosperity of the peo-
pie. He points out that although we
are making some effort toward pro-
lection Of forests and reforestation OF
cut-over and burnt-over lands I'VE are
drawing upon our supplies of timber
four times as fast as they are renewed
through growth The sawmill and
the AK are destroying trees at dan
gerous rate, and fire takes a heavy
toll of timber. Effective protection
against fire is given to some forest
areas, and it is possible to give such
protection to all the woods of the coun.
try. The United States cannot prosper
without trees.

Canada Taking Over
Her Own Diplomacy

The Canadians will soon recognize
Russia, according to a communication
conveyed to A. Yasikoff, soviet agent
in Montreal, from Premier King. The
decision of the Dominion government
may be regarded with surprise in the
United States, surprise that might
be mingled with amusement. But
since the Canadians have been award
ed minister at Washington. and
since they have taken an influential
place in the councils of the British
empire, economists will view the
latest manifestation of economy as
significant.
The world has not yet grasped the
fact that the British empire, outside
of India and few insular possess
sions, has ceased to function. In
stead, Great Britain is chairman of a
British commonwealth of nations, an
organizati ton in more than name only.
The dominions bled for the mother
country in the world war, and after
the armistice. they obtained a voic.
in the imperial councils as a reward
!, The mother even engaged not to entel
into a war or alliance without the
consent of the children. In the light
of this, Canadian recognition of the
soviet governent is neither anus
ing nor surprising.-Brookl Daily

an speakers are those Of national fame
| in lines of endeavor to which a few
generations ago no woman would have
dared to aspire.
One speaks Of college women" and
university women" quite in a matter
of-course. way, yet it was only 144
years ago that William Woodbridge
graduating from Yale, created some
thing of sensation by taking as the
subject OF his graduation essay I'm
provement in Female Education"
Soon after that Woodbridge opened an
evening school, where girls were
taught grammar, geography and ''the
art of composition" 1t was revoiu-
tionary. Before the American revolu-
ton there We're a few little schools for
girls in New England called dame
Schools" where girls were taught to
read and sew. The principal text book
was the New England primer.
After the revolution it was decided
in some towns to admit girls to
schools at hours of morning and eve-
ming, and at times of year when such
schools were not needed for boys, and
instruction was given girls in elemen-
tary subjects. The age of the female
academy in the north came in around
1900, though two or three of such in
stitutions were of earlier date. About
1920 the female academy idea had
spread wide, and our ancestors We're
hearing some theories, to them won
derful and fanciful, about higher edu-
cation for women. The names of the
Rev. Joseph Emerson, Zilpah Grant,
Mary Lyon, Emma Willard and Cath
crime Beecher became familiar. About
1880 female academies were springing
I'D throughout the south, and among
the early colleges was Wesleyan Fe-
male College at Macon, Ga. In 1887
came the founding of Mount Holyoke
Seminary by Mary Lyon. The period
lust before the civil war was marked
hv the increase in the number of
academies and seminaries for women
and the attendance at them, and a few
women's colleges were authorized to
grant degrees.
A historian has said that the last
three decades of the nineteenth GEN.
tury were marked by an advance in
women's education such as the world
had never known before, and that dur
ing that period three types OF insti-
tuition were highly developed, these
being the separate .women's college,
the women's college affiliated with
college or university for men and CO.
education in universities which had
been exclusively for men. The change
that has come over the condition of
women in our country is remarkable.
In education, industry, professions,
arts, science and business the best
women take place beside the best men.
We are all happier for the change.

Tax Bill in Senate.

With the Mellon tax bill reported
out of the finance committee. and now
before the Senate, the republican ma
Jority in that body faces the grave re-
Sponsibility of making good TO the
American people the promise of relief
from war taxation in time of peace.
There is no way in which that re
sponsibility can be evaded The repub-
leans have Il majority in the Senate
and in the House of Representatives
and there is Il republican in the White
House waiting TO sign a measure
which emhOdieS the essential prinCi.
pies Of the Mellon plan. Under such
circumstances, for the republicans to
abdicate and turn the task of tax
legislation over TO the democrats would
he only the forerunner Of a more com.
plete abdication when the people have
had opportunity TO express their in
disnation at the polls.
1t is true that the republican ma
3orities in Senate and House are made
up of men Of varying shades of politi
cal belief, ranging from ultra-conserva
tive to near-radical, but all must sub.
scribe to the fundamental tenets Of
republican doctrine. else they have no
business sitting in Congress as repub-
EcanS. There ought TO be no discord
among republicans as to the funda-
nentals Of the Mellon tax plan. There
il. indeed, but little discord among the
"a a ~ ~ F,,n
mentals. The unanimity of approval
with which the country greeted the
Mellon tax plan is almost without
precedent. Influential democratic news
papers in all parts of the country are
among its stanCheSt and ablest sup
porters. Wherever the Mellon plan is
freed from misrepresentation and
political maneuvering its principal OBJ
5ectives meet with general approval.
There are three main objects of
the Mellon plan. The first is TO raise
sufficient revenues TO meet the re-
quirements of the government. The
second is to place the lightest possible
burden on small and earned incomes.
The third is to so adjust taxes on large
incomes that capital will not be driven
from productive industry into tax-free
securities. There is nothing sacred
about the exact figures proposed by
Secretary Mellon. Many men must
bring their many minds to meeting
points before the tax bill can be writ
ten into law. But they must meet at
points which are within the range Of
the purposes sought to be accom-.
plished. If they do not, the republican
party will so before the country with
a confession OF impotency, and what
the country will do to the party in
November will be an abundant suf-
ficiency. We are about to find out
whether craftsmanship still abides in
the halls Of Congress, or whether they
have been given over to petty political
wranglers.

Care Urged in Harvesting
Breast Collars Declared Best for
Driving Horses.
To the Editor of The Star;

To the Editor of The Star;
This is Kindness to Animals week.
The street cars are bearing the
slogan and probably every person In
the city who reads the papers has
had their attention called to the
matter.
OF all animals, horses suffer the
most, and in innumerable instances
this suffering could be avoided by
simply using common sense. Some
people think that being kind to work
animals means only to feed them
I well and not whip them unreasonably3
The writer has studied horses until
| she knows their every gesture, and
while they suffer much from the cruel
whip they suffer far more from inn
| proper harneSsing.
The harnessing of horses and mules
has improved wonderfully in recent
years. We no longer see the short
breast straps Except sometimes on
farmers horses). The breeehing is
/ higher and fits closer, thus enabling
the horse to hold and back his load
easier. We still see dangling breech-
ing, but the cases are fewer. Owners
of horses are discovering 1t doesn't
pay in these days of high wages to
waste an employees time IN endeayor-
ing to make a team back a heavy
load by the tops of the necks- HaT-
ness makers are learning, that leather
used in big hreeching is. wasted
! leather-yes, worse than wasted. be-
! cause it is of no use to a horse.
The old, time-wornr prejudice
! against breast collars is dying out,
and owners of work animals ara
! learning that breast collars Will not
| kill" their horses Just note the
! horses that are equipped with breast
collars; they are the happiest and
most beautiful horses on the Streets
| and will wear the longest.
/ ask all owners OF horses driven
! singly to try out breast collars,
| They are far less expensive than the
torturesome hame collar, and WIZ
prove their value If given a trial.
The hot weather is coming--ger

arouse public opinion even more
strongly against him.
The Lynchburg News hopes this
man will be brought to book-that
senators may fad it within their
power to punish him for his con-
tumacy in a way that will teach him
that he can afford to affront decent
public sentiment and the upper
branch of Congress only at the price
Of being flung into Jail and kept be-
hind its bars as the commonest of
prisoners for a term that will fifty
respond to the ends of justice and
the dignity of the Senate" The Mi
ami News Metropolis insists his re-
fuSal to testify has presented an un-
favorable situation before the coun-
try" and 'if the committees au-
thority can be successfully chal-
lenged it goes without saying that
no one who is apt to produce any
thing in the way of impressive evil
dence involving the higher-ups will
be willing to come before the inquisi-
torial body-for reasons which they
may consider good and sufficient"
& X X X
The significant thing, according to
the st. Joseph News-Press, is that
lit is practically certain that the en-
tire structure of committee inyesti-
cations by Congress must stand or
fall on the outcome of the proceed
ings that. are now in their initial
stages, If conditions are as evil as
some OF the witnesses paint them,
the Lansing State Journal considers
the heaviest posi- BILE penalties
ought to be inflicted upon the guilty,
but thus far too much of the evil
dence has seemed to be mere gossip,
governed by political considerations,
and the court action in the Sinclair
affair may serve to settle the status
of the entire investigation, which is
needed"
The Springfield Union is confident
there was well grounded criticism
when the Senate with a zeal and pre-
cipitancy in strange contrast to its
habits in regular business, passed
definite Judgment on acts the guilt
and illegality of which had yet to be
shown in the COURTS and it must
have become painfully evident to the
Senate committee that 1t seriously
curtailed its own opportunities ana
powers for further usefulness when
it too precipitately declared the
/ leases a violation of the law and
called for. the prosecution of those
/ concerned"
