Short on Achievements.

Congress has been in session three
months, with record to date of prac-
tically no legislation of importance en-
acted. Not even an appropriation bill
has reached the President for sigma
ture. The Interior Department appro-
priation bill has passed both houses
and is now in conference, while others
are in the mill. The tax reduction
bill has passed the House, but in sucn
shape that it will have to be made
over by the Senate, it is predicted by
Senate leaders.
AT the outset of the session the
administration presented an imposing
program of legislation which was to
be put through. President Coolidge
later emphasized the desire that the
Congress enact relief for the farm
ers. The farm bloc and the radicals
thundered in the index about what
should be done for the farmer, but
they have not carried on.
To be sure, a red herring was
drawn across the trail by the oil dis
closures and other investigations.
The Congress seems to be bent on
nothing but investigations, and un.
questionably legislation is suffering.
There seems to be no hope for early
adjournment, and the prospect is dim
for a full need of constructive Iegis.

The Thurber Confession,

1t is now suggested that the man
in the London prison who has con-
fessed to participation in the Wall
street bomb plot is a sufferer from
shell shock" and that his story is
unfounded. Some evidence appears of
by a man in this country as that of
his brother, who at the time Of the
explosion was known to have been in
California. Furthermore. records at
San Quentin prison, San Francisco,
show that a man of that name was a
prisoner there at that time, and.
finally. check of the names and ad.
dresses given by the Pentonville pris-
oner fails to yield results.
1t will not be surprising to find that
the story is false, the product of an
overwrought imagination, or perhaps
a deliberate desire for notoriety. pos
sibly for eXtradition to this country
on the chance Of ultimate escape from
custody. Indeed, it would be surpris-
hllS " iiDu lldl liic SlOIy Is TRUE.
Only an extraordinary motive could
prevail upon man to confess a share
in so diabolical a crime. He might
be on his deathbed, or he might find
himself implicated directly and seek
the protection of confession by turn
ing states evidence. In the present
state of the case there is no means
for judging as to the reasons moving
Thurber to tell his story.
All the known circumstances of the
crime indicate that several people
were involved in the conspiracy. So
it may be set down as altogether likely
that ultimately one of them would be
caught or will give a clue to the
others. 1t is certainly to be hoped
that solution of this mystery will
be found soon, while the crime is fresh
in the public mind.

cape and capture Is a very slight one.
Some night some one is going to make
a swift attack and turn the tables.
OF course, the advantage is always
with the crook. who takes his victim
by surprise, but there remains the
possibility Of quiek-witted or ner.
vously reacting person doing the un-
expected.
There is no reason for surprise at
the fact that girls are doing hold-up
work. There have been a number of
these cases. Chicago has had two or
three of them recently. Possibly the
so-called bobbed-hair bandit in New
York is, in fact, multiple person.
Women have been members of gangs
for a long time. Usually they have
been ''stalls' and trails" not ao,
tually participating in the thefts.
There is no temperamental difference
between the sexes disqualifying a
woman from such work. Indeed, in
this Brooklyn case it is said that the
girl has always shown herself to be
cooler and more capable than her male
companion.

The Shop Window.

It is announced that "Washington
merchants will welcome spring at
s pm. March "a, when a spring re-
view will begin, under auspices OF
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association 1t is said that ''five
PRICES will be given for window dis
plays and that "no goods will be
sold during the display" 1t seems
from this that the merchants will
celebrate spring with a window dis
play contest.
There is beauty in the show win
dow. Merchants in Washington and
in all other cities give thought and
care to window exhibitions, and a re-
Election that will come to many per-
sons is the change that has come
over the shop window within few
years. Not many years ago a mer-
chant set sign up at his door which
told the kind of goods he sold. The
boot shop had giants boot on the
sidewalk, the apothecary shop dis
played monster mortar and pestle
and globes of green and red, the
3eweler hung up mighty watch, and
the leather dealer set trunk at his
Geor. A painted sign would tell that
dry goods or groceries were sold in

The National Gallery.

Another step has been taken toward
the construction of building for the
National Gallery Of Art. Announce.
ment has been made that Charles A.
Platt Of New York has been chosen
by the board Of regents of the Smith
sonian Institution as the architect to
design the building, that he has ex.
amined the site which it will occupy,
and that before drawing the plans he
will visit the great galleries of Rome,
Florence, Paris, London and other
cities. Mr.. Platt designed the build
ing for the Charles l.. Freer cellec.
ton, which is part Of the National
Gallery Of Art, and his selection as
architect Of the building for the main
part Of the collection and to house
additions to it is we'll received.
1t is worth noting that men inter
ested in art and in the erection Of a
building at Washington for the ma
uonal collection have not waited for
Congress to make an appropriation
for the preparation of plans. They
have subscribed the necessary fund,
and the work is considerably advanced
because of that. Congress has author
lied that such a building as proposed
may be erected on the north side Of
the Mall between the Natural History
building Of the National Museum and
7th street. There. is already consid
cradle public discussion of the Ma
tional Gallery, and building to house
it properly, and no voice seems to
have been raised in objection.

side. The merchant then began to
enlarge his window and set in them
samples of his wares. He aimed to
make the little window brief index
of his stock. Slowly the show window
became an exhibit meant to halt the
passer-by' because of the beauty, Of
the goods and their arrangement.
Men adopted and cultivated the art
of window dressing." Merchants be-
came connoisseurs in the art. The
public, served with these free exhi-
bitions. became harder to please. The
shop window of thirty or fifty years
ago would not be noticed by .pedes-
trians today. Or if a passer-by should
stop at such window it would be to
marvel at it as a museum or relic.
The average window display today
would have been SO extraordinary
fifty years ago that citizens would
have come down town from as far
north as Q or r street to see it.
Many Washingtonians remember
when a store window was glazed with
small square panes and when the
window was no larger than that of
a dwelling house. Then came the
"plate glass" window. Many Star
readers remember that when store
had plate glass" window the store
keeper was set down as ultra-modern
and d lavish spender. The merchant
with ID plate glass" window in his
store stood as high in popular esteem
as the family which lived in a house
with a pressed brick" front.
