Unyielding Fair Treatment.

Ihe action OF the subcommittee of
the Senate appropria tions committee
IN voting the Cramton amendment
out of the District bill is in line with
the Capital community's hopes and
confident expectation. That the full
committee will accept the subcommit-
tees recommendation. and that the
Senate will sustain this action and
pass the bill with the mischievious,
inequitable amendment omitted, is
likewise the hope and expectation Of
the people Of Washington. For the
Senate has hitherto been consistently
opposed to hasty, ill-considered at
tackS upon the system of Capital
maintenance whereby the municipal
ity which has been designated as the
seat of federal government has been
developed without imposing a crush
ing burden upon the local taxpayers.
This hope and this confidence ex-
tend to the point that, if the Senate's
change in the bill is resisted By the
House, in formal recognition & es~
ridiculously small vote whereby the
amendment was adopted by that body,
there will be no yielding in conference.
The amendment is a wrong. 1t was
improperly presented, as a legislative
rider upon an appropriation bill, with
out having secured the assent and ap-
proval of a legislative committee of
the House. 1t was ruled in order only
on technicality, on the ground that
it effected a reduction in the total of
the federal appropriations. In a House
reduced in numbers to a mere hand
full it was voted into the bill incon-
siderately. The House has small, if
any, warrant for standing firmly for
a proposition thus incorporated into
the appropriation bill.
1t is the hope of the District that
the Senate will turn its face squarely
against this amendment. by unani-
mously sustaining the appropriations
committee. The hands of the conferees
OF the upper house should be strength
ened by such a vote that there can be
no ground for temporizing or com
promise. This amendment is wrong in
its presentation and adoption. 1t was
thrust into the bill without u hearing,
without a report from a legislative
committee. 1t was not considered by
the appropriations committee. Yet it
struck at vital principle OF the meas
ure, completely changing the principle
Of federal contribution to the main
tenance of the Capital. which, with
modification. has prevailed for forty
six years. 1t disregarded the equity of
the modification of 1922. when a five
year period of fund accumulation on
the 6040 basis was provided for.
An unyielding, fair treatment Of the
District by the Senate in this crisis
would be but a continuation Of the
practice of that body during the near
~ half century of discussion about
the proper manner Of maintaining the
federal-Capital municipality.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE

President Coolidge has never really
to be more or less subject to hay
fever in the annual sneezing season.
and has always been susceptible to
colds. but he conquered hay fever.
and for years has laid up for repairs
only when occasional discomfort, the
result of incIement weather or
hoarseness from public speaking.
overlook him. The President never
goes in for daily dozens" or other
artificial stimulants to normal we'll
being. He steadily weighs around
155 pounds, and stands feet 10
inches in height-the average di-
mensions. A good many people have
forgotten that Calvin Coolidge was a
Fourth of July baby. He will be
fifty-two on coming Independence
day.
The Rt. Rev. James E. Freeman,
Bishop of Washington, sailed for
Europe today. to be gone six or
cathedral cities Of France, Belgium
and Great Britain, in the order
named, in the interest of the National
Cathedral at Washington - already
famed in the old world as Americas g
Westminster Abbey. DR.. Freeman s
renown as preacher and orator long
since crossed the Atlantic. He has
had many invitations to speak while
on the other side. and will avail him
self of some of them. At London the
bishop will meet up with an old
friend of Twin Cities days-Ambas-
sador Kellogg, who was practicing
law in st. Paul while DR.. Freeman
was in the midst of brilliant rector

Ffrst-hand news Of the "American
situation" in Japan will shortly be
brought to Washington by Frederick
Moore, since 1922 foreign councillor
to the ministry OF foreign affairs at
Toxic. Moore is returning to the
United States to become the .Ameri-
can attache of the Japanese embassy
in Washington, exchanging places

Moore, newspaperman by profession,
knows the far east like a book. once
he represented the Associated Press
at Peking. 1t was in that capacity
that he scored a celebrated scoop" by
capturing exclusive news of Japan's

is a Louisianian. a Harvard man, and,
among his other claims to fame, was
nearly killed at Constantinople while
reporting the revolution that overthrow

Q. Was John Wilkes Booth consid-
cred a great actor?-E. S. B.
A Estimates vary somewhat con-
cerning his ability as an actor. At
the beginning of his career in Phila-
delphia he met with constant failure.
He was frequently received with
Kisses. Later he played two seasons
in Richmond, where he was held in
esteem. He then became a star and
made a tour, commencing at Mont
gomery, Ala, and ending at Boston.
This was on the whole successful and
he was commended particularly for
his presentation of the part of Rich

in New York except at a few benefits.

@. Do flies have lungs?-C, f. r.
A. The trachea in insects is SINH
lar to the lungs in human beings.
This is divided and subdivided like
branches of a tree, that all the
body cavity is reached by their fine
endings. Some even pass outward
into the veins of the wings. Each Of
these tubes contains air The blood
of an insect does not circulate through
a system of closed blood tubes as in
man, but instead it more or less COM
pletely fills that part of the body
cavity which is not filled with other
organs. Oxygen is thus brought in
contact with the blood by means of
the trachea.
