Shift Worked Well
The most recent of these occa sions
was yesterday, when Moon was afford
ed an opportunity to display his YER
satility by being brought in from the
outtield 10 guard the initial sack in
place of Shirley, after the principal
business of the afternoon resolved it
self into keeping a lead that Moon
himself was instrumental in acquiring.
1t was a tight hurling duel that the
Nationals landed yesterday, 2-1, for
their second straight ever the Indians
and their fifth victory in a row. Ac-
corded bang-up support, Zachary had
the edge on Uhle, who, despite a fine
exhibition of curving and cross-tiring,
could not prevent the champions from
punching bingles off him on two oc-
CaSions.
Only a pass to Bluege preceded the
pair of blows that netted Washington
the first tally of the contest, in round
3. Ruel and Zachary had been dis
posed OF, when Rice rammed a double
10 left-center and promptly scored on
Il single down the third-baSe line by
Stan Harris. Bucky kept on TO second
when Jamieson's return went wide, and
he was left as Joe Harris lined to Joe
Sewell.
Effective hurting by Uhle checked
several subsequent scoring opportuni-
ties afforded the Nationals. In the
fourth, for instance, after Fewster 5
error put Goslin on, the Goose was
picked off by Luke Seweil. Shirley
then got a life on Joe Sewell's wide
throw, and after Bluege's death, was
tagged by Jameson, who gathered in

The CountrY's Crime Bill.

The National Crime Commission, it
is reported from New York, the head
quarters OF that recently formed or
ganization, is receiving cooperative
assistance from the financial and mer-
camille establishments of that city. 1t
is greatly to the interest of business
that advance be made toward the
suppression of crime, especially theft
on a large scale. AS a result of an
increasing prevalence of robbery in
New York, insurance rates against
loss from this cause have advanced
TO an almost prohibitive figure Mil
lions of dollars are being spent now
on burglary insurance. That, how
ever, is not the only item of cost.
Furriers and dealers in silks and vel
vets have been put to heavy expense
in maintaining large forces Of private
watchmen and armed guards and the
installation of electric alarm signals.
Strong vaults have been constructed
at heavy cost. The furriers have
formed a security alliance and organ
lied a squad of sharpshooterS. Banks
and stores have installed arnlored
cars for the transport of funds with
guards. Despite these precautions
there were during the month of July

Secretary Weeks.

If Secretary W eekS retlreS from tHe
cabinet, as the latest reports from
Swampscott indicate, Ii should be
with the full public knowledge that
he has rendered valuable service TO
the country and the administration
as Secretary of War. Mr.. Weeks
entered the cabinet of the late Presi-
dent Harding in March, 1921, and
has served continuously since that
time. lie took with him into the
department a firm belief in the need
of adequate national defense and a
determination not to see the Army
entirely emasculated. He has been
an admirable administrators and a
friend OF the service.
AS a. man of wide and successful
business experience, Secretary Weeks
has urged strongly that the material
plant of the Army be not allowed to
deteriorate merely for the sake of
immediate economy. He has pro-
tested vigorously against policy
which officers of the Army insist is
seriously threatening and which is
discouragins to enlisted men and the
commissioned personnel alike. The
declaration that the Army must bear
in large part the proposed slash of
some $4,000. 900 in budget estimates
for the year 1927. recently forthcom-
ing from the Summer White House,
must have a discourag ginS sound TO
the Secretary,
Mr.. Weeks received his education
at the Naval Academy. But when he
was offered a position in the cabinet
he chose the Army, not because he
did not love the Navy, but because of
the embarrassing position he might
have been forced to meet when the
men he knew at the academy came
before him for assignment or pro-
motion. In his later years he served
as a member of the House and OF
the Senate from Massachusetts, and
among his colleagues he was highly
regarded because of his ability, his
courage and his entire frsnkness.
Reports that Secretary Weeks would
retire from the cabinet have recurred
with considerable frequency since last
Winter. They have been more per-
sistent since his serious illness of a
few months ago. But Mr.. Weeks has
not yet retired, and those who would
regret to see the War Department
lose his services continue to hope
that his convaIescence will be such as
to make it possible for him yet to
return to his desk

A Word of Praise.

To the Editor of The Star:
Permit me to thank you not only in
the name of thousands of colored citi-
Zeps in the District of Columbia, but
all over the United States for the ac-
count given in The Star of the alleged
assault committed upon white WON
an by colored man in Sligo, Md,
few days ago. The Star gave a calm.
plain statement of the facts, as they
were reported, and did not try to III
cite a riot in or near the National
Capital by flaming, glaring headlines
announcing that enraged citizens were
searching for the assailant of this
woman.
Such headlines have been responsi-
bic for many lynchings, in which in
nocent colored men have been burned
at the stake, fayed alive and shot TO
death. Willingly or unwittingly, the
press Of this country has done much
20 stir up and perpetrate racial strife.
The crimes committed by colored peo-
pie strike the public in the face with
their glaring headlines, while their
good deeds appear in some incon
spicuous place in fine print.
1t is refreshing and encouraging to
see a newspaper as just and fair To
all its citizens without regard to race,
color, creed or sex as is The Even
ing Star. And I know of no better
illustration of this fact than the state
ment of the alleged assault committed
upon white woman by colored
man, who is now known to be abSo-
lutelys innocent of the crime.

Ford as an Air-Flivver Maker.

A disposition to ''let Henry do it"
has been evidenced in this country
ever since Henry Ford made his great
success in standardizing motor manu-
facture for cheap production. His
achievement has completely won pub
lie confidence in his ability to accom-
plish whatever he undertakes-his
peace-ship venture not being regarded
as within his legitimate line.
Recently MIR. Ford established an
airplane service for the delivery of
parts to the assembling plants. After
period of experimenting and testing
this new method of distribution has
been declared successful, and now it
is announced that Mr.. Ford has &C
ouired complete ownership Of an air
plane manufacturing company and
will proceed to turn out planes for his
own factory service.
Now the question arises, Will Mr..
Ford be content to make planes solely
for his own use, or will he turn his at
tention to the production of planes
Tor the puDlc!
As a consequence, chiefly, of the
enormous output Of the Ford motor
plants and the ease with which the
motor cars are purchased, the traffic
situation in this country has become
grave problem. Streets and roads
are congested to the danger point, al
most to the point of the blockade Of
traffic. At the present rate the sur
face of the United States will be
choked with motor cars within an
other decade.
Will the manufacturing genius that
made the f1ivver almost the universal
mode Of transport now make the in.
dividual or family airplane possible
within the range of the average
American? 1t is now a commonplace
of observation that the plane will be
the ordinary means OF travel in a
short time. That somebody is going
to put forth practicable, dependab BILE
flying machine for family use is firmly
believed by a majority. So why not

Training Pedestrians.

Success has marked the first effort
in the National Capital TO control
pedestrian traffic. Following out the
than six months ago, the intersection
of Fourteenth street and Pennsylva-
MIA avenue has been changed from
an inferno of rushing pedestrians and
automobiles into IA quiet, strictly reg
ulated zone, where both walkers and
riders are enjoying the benefits OF
modern traffic control.
With but a few minor changes, re-
lating to right and left hand turns
of automobiles, and a higher type of
cooperation from the pedestrian, the
system inaugurated at this congested
intersection may soon be in force
throughout the downtown district.
To attain this desired end, turning

ers must be changed from the present
method. Traffic officials are now hard
at work in devising some plan. to
eliminate this hazard.

the maximum in cooperation. De-
spite the best efforts of the five po-
licemen on duty at Fourteenth and
Pennsylvania avenue, there were
many walkers who refused to &C.
knowledge authority and proceeded
to cross with signals set against them.
This type of walker, knowing that
there is no law TO make him CO.
operate, is generally the first to COM

drivers" He should change his at
titude, however, and realize that pc

The Democratic Debt.

The determination of Chairman
Clem Shaver of the Democratic na-
tional committee to see that the Dem
ocratic debt, incurred during the cam.
paign for the presidency last year. is
paid off and the party finances put
on a sound basis before engaging in
further expenditures is praiseworthy.
The financing of political parties in
this country, with the frequent heavy
deficits which both major parties
have carried, has been open TO con-
siderable criticism for it's slipshod
methods IL for no other reason. But
a new era seems to be breaking.

publican national committee took
charge year ago he announced a
kind of pay-as-you-go policy, with a
declaration that there should be no

loss of 100000 in New York City.
The crime bill in the United States
mounts TO a staggering sum annually.
The cost of homicides in loss of serv.
ices, reckoning life at its economic
valuation; in police pursuits and in
protracted trials is alone an item of
magnitude. The cost of crime against
property goes into the hundreds of
millions. AT the present rate rob-
berry and burglary insurance will ad-
vance in cost to a prohibitive point
in a very few years. This cost, 1t
must be borne in mind, does not
fall upon the merchant. 1t is car
ried by the consumer. The buying
public is paying the crime bill.
The fire loss in the United States
annually reaches tremendous total
of waste. The crime loss is rapidly
approaching and will at this present
pace soon overtake the price of de-
struction in the flames.

deficit. At the conclusion of the cam.
mittee, instead OF having a deficit,
had several hundred thousand dollars
in the treasury.
The Democrats, however, were not
so fortunate. They wound up with a
deficit Not because they had ex-
pended more money than the Repub-
licans-they had not expended nearly
so much-but because the contribu-
tions to the Republican cause were
much larger than those to the Dem
ocratic. But Mr.. Shaver, feeling a
distinct sense of responsibility and
believing that the Democratic party
must be put upon its feet again, has
adopted the policy of providing a firm
financial basis. This he insists must
come through payment of its debts.
In some quarters there Is clamor
for revival forthwith of Democratic
activity, through the national COM
mittee, with a publicity bureau and
other Office forces, which means the
expenditure of money. But TO this
Mr.. Shaver turns a deaf ear. Such a
revival he will sponsor. doubtless, in
good time.
Deficits of the political parties offer
opportunities for interests OF one kind
or another. even individuals, to place
party leaders and administrations
under obligations to them, which is
not a wholesome condition. The pol
fcies OF the present chairmen of the
Republican and Democratic national
committees to do away with deficits
are laudable, to say the least. Mr..
Shaver's economy of today may bear
fruit tomorrow.

is doubtful whether the Maryland

the other hand, he may succeed in

that they do injury in kiss, bur
rather TO the one who wears them.
