The adoption of the Locarno Sc

the Dawes plan, may make the nego-

United States somewhat less difficult

Will continue to insist that the war
debt Of France and other European
debtors shall not be entangled with
German reparations SO far as this
country is concerned. But under the
new agreements the French may be
more willing to make definite arrange

The United States is In the position
of a creditor who has offered to a
friendly and esteemed debtor the priv
ilege of postponing the day Of settle
ment until better times arrive, with
the payment in the meantime of some
thing less than one per cent on the
principal. The rejection Of this pro-
posal, which all reports indicate,
leaves this country ready, of course,
to continue negotiations for d final
settlement now. But the position of
the United States in regard to the
French debt must be as clearly under
stood in Paris as it is in Washington,
in view of the negotiations, which, un-
fortunately for France as we'll as for
this country, resulted in failure. If
these negotiations may be considered,
however, as 4 necessary preliminary
for other negotiations in the near fu-
ture and a definite settlement, they
will by no means have been wasted

Crime and Communism

Embezzlement of state funds by
trade union cooperative employees, it
is reported from Moscow, have be-
come so frequent recently that death
penalties have been administered to
offenders as means of checking a
costly tendency. During the past six
months there have been more than
1000 of these thefts, involving several
million rubles. In only a small per-
centage of the cases detected was the
money taken because of need and dis
tress. Most of the crimes were COM
mitted through overindulgence in al
cohol or by reason of gambling.
1t must be rather shocking to the
Soviet commissars to find the cooper
ative system weakening in SO impor-
tant a respect as the good faith of
the workers. The cooperative trade
unions of Russia, under the bolshevik
regime, have been regarded as tho

of all property, is predicated upon not
merely the willingness, but the de-
sire, of all to share only equally. Here

School Excuses.

Supt. Frank W. Ballou Of the public
schools has prepared a list Of seven
acceptable excuses for absent school
children and has submitted 1t to the
Board of Education for approval.
These new excuses, which will super

sorry school attendance law in the Dis

Absent students, If the recommen-
dation goes through, will have to stay
within the scope Of the seven excuses,
although an unusual emergency"
might mean almost anything. No
longer will a pupil be able to stay
away simply because he feels u trife
badly; that Is, unless he can get q
doctors certificate to back him up.

on him by court of competent juris-
diction" or he is detained by the
civil authorities, he will be able to
offer excuses numbered four or five to
his teacher, which WILL under the new
regulations. be a valid reason for ab-
senting himself.
1t is evident that the Board of Edu-
cation intends to be sure that every
child Of school age in the District will
receive an education. This determi-
nation, although probably not appre-
ciated by the children themselves, will
work manifold benefits upon their fu-

a National Congregational Church.

Next Saturday a resolution Will be
presented to the National Council of
Congregational Churches of the United
States, in session in this city, to in
dorse the plan for the erection here
Of a new home for the Congregational
Church of Washington and to permit
subscriptions to the building fund by
Congregational churches throughout
the country. This resolution will be
tablishing at the Capital a national
church of that denomination. Its
adoption is expected, as there Is every
indication Of warm approval of the
plan.
In the event OF the adoption of this
by present evidence, fourth national
church will have been established in
Washington. First in order Of erec-
ton was the Southern Methodist
Church at Mount Vernon place, which
was created with the cooperation
Of members Of that denomination
throughout the South, to serve as a
mother church. The National Episco-
pal Cathedral was next in order
chronologically, although the thought
of a national edifice for that denomi-
nation had been entertained before
this present project was defined and
launched. The cooperation of Epis
copalians in all parts of the country
is now assured to make the Cathedral
OF SIS. Peter and Paul the truly Amer
lean church Of the Episcopal faith.
The third in order of undertaking is
the Shrine of the Immaculate Con-
ception at the Catholic University,
which is to be the work of the Cath
olics Of America. Its construction Is
now under way. Other denominations
are contemplating similar projects.

which is the Congregational Church,

BACKGROUND OF EVENTS
BY PAUL Y. COLLINS.

President Coolidge told the annual
Council of Congregational Churches
that what the country needs is moro
religion, for he can see no adequate
remedy for the evils which beset
society except through the influence
of religion" He added: 1T is true
that Government can aid. and *
aiding, in the solution of some of
our problems but the utmost
ingenuity on the part OF the police
powers will be substantially all
wasted in an effort TO enforce the
law # there does not exist a strong
and vigorous determination on the
part of the people to observe the
law
President Coolidge brings the duty
to >do something about il" right
home to the good citizens" not alone
those who have been victimized, but
all who are good citizeps" and
patriots. The President defined the
religion" which he had in mind as
something more tangible and prac-
tical than mere attendance upon
church services; IT involves "a
strong and vigorous determination on
the part Of the people to observe
the law" That self interpretation
has been earlier expressed: Even so
faith without works is dead, being
alone. The devils also be-
lieve and tremble."
In New York, some week ago. there
was organized a Citizens Commits

that the French will again insist upon

recent negotiations IN Washington.
This clause was intended to give the
French "A right TO cease payments on

whole situation. This so-called secu-

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
BY FREDERIC ]. HASKIN.

Q. Has it ever been customary for a
world series to be won by three games
out of five?-L. D.
A. The only year this was done was
1884. In 1885 the clubs tied three
three-they had intended playing
four out of seven and in 1886 did so.
Q. Is an eel a fish or snake?-
c. B. McC.
A. The eel Is an apodal fish, having
a snake-like appearance. An apodal
fish is one having no fms or legs.
@. Which planets are visible in Oc-
tober and November?-R. D.
A. The Naval Observatory says
Mercury may be seen near the west
ern horizon for a few days near NO
vember %, when It sets about an hour
after the sun. Venus will be evening
star for the next few months, visible
in the west after sunset. Mars Is

Jupiter will be visible in the southern
or southwestern sky in the early eve
ming for the remainder Of the year.
Saturn also Is now visible In the
southwest after sunset, but sets ear
lier than Jupiter and will soon be TOO
near the sun to be visible. 1t is or

@. What acid will make copper or
brass look white?-W. z.
A. The Bureau of Standards says
that 1t is possible to pro .uce white
metallic appearance upon copper or
brass by treating 1t with solutions
containing mercury or silver. Such
/ I'D
should not be handled except by per
sons with considerable experience.
Q. What makes rubber deterio
rate?-A. B. y.
A. The principal factors causing de-
terioration are light, heat and oxygen.
Rubber should be stored In the dark
in a cool place. The absence of oxy-
gen or air would probably be an ad.
vantage.
@. Why are the boundaries Of the
time zones zig gag on the map of the
United States?-V. J. T.
A The Interstate Commerce Com
mission fixes the boundaries between
the time zones. Often the boundaries
are made to depart from the halfway
position between the standard meridi-
ans in order to suit the convenience Of
the railroads or TO meet the demands
Of the communities affected.
Q. How IS the total income reported
distributed by sources Of income?-

A Half-Million Wastage.

Signing of a new lease by repre-
ernment for the building now oc-
cupied by the Department of Justice
for a period OF five years at an In
creased rental of $4,000 a year, or
sl0O, 900 in all annually, is just
another example of the costly pro
crastination of the United States in
the matter of providing its own quar-
ters for It's work.
When the 'five-SQuare tract at the
western end of the MaN-AVenue trl-
angle was acquired by the Government
fifteen years ago the construction OF
three department buildings there was
contemplated, homes for the Depart
ments of State, Justice and Commerce
and Labor, then united in single
organization. The site was found to
be too small for three structures, and
II was proposed to put the Depart
1nent of Justice on the Mall itself.
Objection was at once raised to such
an invasion of the park space. But
nothing was done III any way toward
building, and the matter lapsed.
When the war time came permanent
building enterprises were abandoned
on account of the emergency, and
temporary buildings were erected in
numbers on the parks TO house the
suddenly increased departmental per-
sonnel.
Enough rent has already been paid
FOR the inadequate housing Of the De
partment of Justice TO have con-
structed a suitable permanent home
Tor that branch of the Govern
ment. At the increased rate now to
be paid for the rented quarters half
a million dollars in addition will have
been expended in five years. If the
proposed building program is enacted
into law at this coming session of
Congress, fully that length of time
will be required for the completion
of a home for this department. BY
the time it is ready for use the Gov.
ernment will have spent far in excess
of its cost in rents during the period
OF waiting.
This latest instance of the extrava-
gance and waste OF relying upon pri-
vate structures for departmental
housing should insure action at the
coming session, not merely for this
one particular department, but for all
the Government offices now housed in
rented buildings or chokingly con-
gested in public buildings long since
outgrown in the expansion Of the
Governments work.

Last year a million people visited

than a million people represented
