A unique development in mechanical
engineering is locomotive pile driver
In which there is an unusual arrange
ment and strength Of the self-propel.
ling mechanism and In the self-con-
tanned hydraulic turntable, whereby
the entire machine. including trucks,
is quickly lifted clear Of the rails and
turned end for end. The engines on
the car are connected to the axles OF
ordinary trucks without interfering
with the movement Of the trucks in
turning curves, passing over frogs. and
the like. The machine was designed
to meet the requirement for pile driv-
er capable Of climbing any grade and
hauling its own cars Of piles and tools.
The self-propelling pile drivers built
hitherto have been capable of NOV

Schools Called to Larger Field
b. L. Squib, superintendent of the
k-Be school at Benton City has ac-
cepted like position at Selah for
the following school year. The SeIah
is much larger than the Ki-Be and
the position carrier with it far more
attractive salary. v
The rendering of this position to
Mr.. Squib by the school board of Sc
Lab is flattering recognition of his
ability in school work and while the
board and parents of the Ki-Be dis
trict regret loosing so valuable man
they feel that earnest and conscien-
cious work are entitled to its Just
reward. The good wishes of Mr.. and
Mrs. Squib's many friends will go
with them to their new field. Mr..
Squib has spared no pains to place
the Ki-Be school at the top of the
list in Benton county. He is an en-
thusiastic promoter of athletic sports
and hard and conscientious worker
in every line of school activity. Mrs.
Squib is talented musician, a COM
petent leader in chorus work and has
taken leading part in the social
and musical activities of the church
and district during the past year.

DR.. LEWIS UPHOLDS
. COLLEGE ATHLETICS
Second Only to Studies, He Says,
at Dinner of G. W. q.
Alumni.

Athletics was praised last night by
President William Mather Lewis of
George Washington University as a
very important part of college life,
second only to SCholasticism.
Speaking at a dinner given to the
foot ball team by the University
Alumni Association at the La Fayctte
Hotel, DR.. Lewis said athletics put
more fight and determination into
students, preparing them for the bat
tie of life and enabling them to act
more quickly and in emergencies on
the spur of the moment.
Other talks were made by Coach
H. watson Crum. DR.. Daniel Borden
of the medical school, Dean Van
Week of the law school, Prof. Gill
bert Hall of the law school and Capt
Guy Hotel, who was reelected to
lead his foot ball team for the next
year.

prano, accompanied by Miss Cecilia
O'Day; J. Lewis Moneyway, in plan
tation stories, and Earl Carbauh,

PASTOR IS ACQUITTED.
Was Charged With Grand Larceny
IN Stock Deal.

NEW YORK. December 20-Rev.
Paul Reinicke, former pastor of the New
Apostolic Church OF Brooklyn, was ac-
quilted by jury of charge
of grand larceny preferred by Mrs. Anna
Block, one Of a group of former parish
toner's who said he bought worthless
stocks with money, approximately
$1,000, they had given him for invest
ment.
He will have TO stand trial on a SINH
lar indictment brought by Mrs. Freda
Numerick, who gave him $1,000 to in
vest.
Mrs. Blocks investment was $4,000,
and Judge White directed the jury to
acquit when it was developed that the
pastor actually delivered $4,000 worth
OF stock to the woman, who did not COM
plain until it failed ia pay dividends.

B.T.H.M.B.S.D.C.

A man appeared in a New York
court yesterday on charge Of illegal
ly practicing medicine. One Of the ex-
hibits in the case was a professional
circular on which, after his name,
appeared the cryptic letters of
BIT B.S.D.C.' There We're three
Judges on the bench, and they pored
over the cryptogram intently. Not
even their expertness in solving cross
word puzzles enabled them to deter
mine the meaning Of the mystic
symbols. So they asked the defendant,
and he glibly reeled off the translation,
adding that he was really entitled to
two more letters, NC, meaning medi-
cal chemist. In explanation of this
addendum he said that in 1922 he was
granted a permit to sell a patent
medicine. The circular proclaimed
the fact that the alphabetic practi-
tioner would cure any ailment to
which the human system is subject
for $15. He slipped when representa-
tive of the district attorneys Office

which he did not have, but which the
cross word medico agreed to cure for
$40. Unimpressed by the array Of cap
ital letters the court found him guilty
and bailed him to be sentenced later.
That bunch Of eight initials-with
two in reserve-has probably netted

Street Car Christmas Spirit.

These days before Christmas are
crowded. The street cars are packed,
the streets are congested, the stores
are choked Everybody is hustling
And everybody should be considerate.
1t is possible for a great multitude of
people to get along easily in such con-
ditions if all will be regardful for
others.
In the street cars particularly there
should be this consideration. Almost
everybody has a package Of some
kind Standing room is at premium
during the rush hours. The average
individual actually takes more room
now than at other times on account Of
these bundles he is carrying. 1t is
harder to hand out fares to the con-
ductor.
If every passenger would have the
exact fare ready on entering the car
to drop into the box or the conductors S
hand the process of loading would be
facilitated. Car movements would be
speeded. Everybody would be accom-
modated. This is a small matter, but
it has an important bearing on the
general comfort of those who use the
street cars. 1t is particularly impor-
tant in the one-man car with front
entrance, where the driver must make
change and receive fares and cannot
start the car until the last passenger
has paid.
1t would pay everybody at such a
time as this to lay in stocks OF car
tokens so as to have fares always
ready. Buying Is for dollar at times
when the cars are not crowded makes
for later facility.
Trifies like this are mutually bene-
fetal. Let the Christmas spirit pre-
vail on the street cars as well as in
the shops and in the homes. Move up
to the front and make room for new
comers. Remember that the people
who come later also have packages
and need room. The passenger who
is at the head of the line today may
be last to board the car tomorrow.

Extending the Botanic Garden.

Development Of the National Botanic
Garden proceeds, but not at great
speed. However, the promise is that
the plan Of turning certain public
reservations in Washington south Of
the Capitol into parts of the Botanic
Garden will soon bear fruit, and
flowers Expansion of the garden is
asked for many reasons, and way
nas been found to expand it on Gov
ernment land in parts of the city
which very much need Improvement.
The garden will be spread over large
area, taking in reservations made in
the original plan of the city and land
reclaimed by filling the Washington
City Canal and part of the James
Creek Canal. 1t would be possible to
extend the garden from it's present
site south to the Eastern Branch, and
this may be done. The garden will be
of irregular form and not symmetri-
cal, but it will serve the purposes of
giving the Government at Washington
a National Botanic Garden and chang
ing a number of unimproved Govern
ment reservations into pleasant
places.
At a recent meeting of the subcom-
mittee of the House appropriations
committee having in hand appropria-
tons for the Botanic Garden, the
chairman said that new buildings
along the bed Of the old James Creek
Canal will be provided, and tracts of
land owned by the District will prob
ably be acquired during the coming
fiscal year for the systematic improve
ment Of the garden.
At present the Botanic Garden is
not in harmony with park develop
ment between the Capitol, the Monu-
ment and Lincoln Memorial. 1t con-
tains d national memorial, the founda-
ton for another statue, glass houses,
small brick buildings. fine fountain,
historic trees that ought to be preserved
and masses of shrubbery planted
when the institution had no other aim
than being a garden. After years of
debate and delay the tall iron fence Of
the old garden was sawed Off, but the
shabby brick base of the fence and
the sawed-off butts Of the spikes re-
main. The old buildings are there.
They are happy landmarks, but it is
the fate of landmarks to pass. The
conservatory, once a splendid example
of the crystal house, is in a dangerous
condition and larger one is needed.

Government Efficiency
and National Parks
To the Editor of The Star:

1t would add much to the efficiency
of our Government to locate the pros
pective new national park i'll the

Valley. That is to say, IL would be
possible for Government employees and
Notwithstanding the President-to
take short vacations there, who now
must go much farther or not at all
for the occasional rustic isolation Sc
generally recognized as beneficial to
mental efficiency.
Practically the only seclusion which
the President can now obtain during
busy periods is that attending a short
trip on the Mayflower, but there are
many heads Of departments and divi-
sions needing similar benefits who
cannot secure them at all. The Presi-
dent would no doubt appreciate an
alternative of the Mayfiower trips
and now that the concrete roads ex-
tend continuously and directly to the
valley, 1t Tould require only two
hours by nlbtor to bring the Execu-
tive among the inspiring beauties OF
nature unadorned, in which there is
so much that is curative for great
minds.
The vistaS and quiet of the terrain
so ideally available in nearby vir-
ginia would certainly have the effect
of Tightening the mental loads and
making minds fresh and vigorous for
effective attacks on the problems that
assail the heads of our Government
In this effect the destiny of our coun-
try might be materially affected for
the better by the selection of the
Blue Ridge site in Virginia.
Congress, too. might reasonably be
expected to exercise better it's legis-
lative functions during a long session,
especially, by proper utilization of
the privileges of such a reserve
In addition. the mass of the Gov
ernment workers would be able to
take occasional trips to the park,
and thereby add to their strength and
ability to accomplish their tasks.
