SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Posterity.
Let me dawdle and dream
In an indolent scheme
Through the ways that my grand
father went.
Our grandsires were strong
And they'd earnestly long
For their progeny's peace and content
So leave me at rest
AS 1 dine on the best.
Contented to loiter and shirk;
Assuming. indeed.
That for family need,
Dear Grandfather did all the work.
But don't be too free
With the family tree.
At Darwinian theory stop,
Lest our sustenance might
Be dependable quite
On an obsolete cocoanut crop.

economic questions, as has been urged
in Congress. The complications in
volved, both in land ornaments and
in economic problems. are in general
SO removed from direct American con-
Germ that it is probable that If the
scope of the proposed conference were
widened 10 embrace them it's chances
of any successful outcome would be
seriously diminished. The President
would be happy, of course, if he could
help to bring about limitation Of land
ornaments in Europe, but he is
practical man and knows that some
thing more than wishing is necessary
to such an achievement. A further
curtailment of naval ornaments
seems within the realm of possibilities,
and it is far better to get the half
loaf that may be had than, by trying
for too much. TO get nothing at all.

public and others are menaced. Con-
fusion prevails in the minds of many
drivers as to precisely what is re.
quired of them. Violators when
caught are not adequately punished,
owing to the prevailing collateral sys-
tenn and the congestion in the court.
1t is proposed by this bill TO es.
tablish the Office of director of traffic.
to be held by a person of particular
competence and to be supported by an
adequate police force for the enforce
ment Of all rules and regulations. Ad-
Court bench to care for the volume
of business. With the Aght sort Of
administration Of the law 1t should
make for a decidedly better condition
in the streets.
Though time is brief and the con-
gestion in the House Of Representa-
tives is intense. the hope remains that
this bill will become a law before the
close Of the session. 1t should have
gone over from Senate to House
several days ago. 1t goes now. how
ever, in a form to lessen the objec-
tons that may be raised against 1t
and with doubtless a keener sense OF
need on the part Of the members of
the lower branch Of Congress. They
are personally concerned with other
residents of the, District. They are
fully acquainted with the conditions
and cannot fail to appreciate the ne
cessity Of reform to make the streets
safer. 1t is hoped that they will pass
the bill at the first opportunity.

10 the Editor of The Star:
The whole country is now center-
ing It's solfcftude on the unfortun.te
man caught by a bowlder in the Ken
lucky cave. Millions of hearts are
touched by his pitiabIe plight. Mil
lions OF tongues, perhaps, are pray
ing for his release. 1t is a marnifi-
cent outpouring Of concern and SYM
pathy for one whose predicament Ia
sadly affecting. Such occurrences
make us realize that human beings
have a wealth OF feeling for the vic
tins OF dreadful misfortune when
those victims are fellow human be-
ings.
Let us look at another picture.
Millions of helpless animals are an
nually caught in the jaws of steel
traps and are held there days and,
sometimes weeks, undergoing the
most painful suffering that can be
imagined. Yet, there is no outpour-
ing of sympathy for them. Their
horrible fate does not excite any pity
except in the hearts Of few hu-
manitarians of the country Yet
there Is every reason for giving these
wretched creatures some of the con-
Germ we bestow on the man caught
in one 81 natures traps in the Ken
lucky cave.
He went into the cave. not of
necessity or unawares, but possibly
for idle adventure or a new thrill.
The trapped animals are Mred by
food to satisfy their hunger. They
go into danger unwittingly. All the
more pity for them. Let US take the
position that animals should have
their feelings considered as well as
the feelings of mankind, and that
every effort should be made to save
them from the agonizing torture of
slow death in that devilish device,
the steel trap. At the present time
Nationwide movement is being
inaugurated by .Comdr. Brock, y. S.
N. with the backing of the American
Humane Association and its allied
organizations, to secure laws declar-
ing the use of the steel trap illegal
1t Is 20 be hoped that all humanely
inclined persons will aid this cam
paign in every way, and that, in the
meantime, all ladies buying fur gar
ments will ask the fur dealers for
assurances. that the furs in those
garments have been obtained pain
Iessly, either from fur farms or by
methods which kill the animals in
stantly. JAMES T. bRlGGS,~

The Traffic Bill.

After much travail the Senate has
passed the traffic bill. II has been
amended to meet certain objections,
particularly in respect to the penal
ties to be imposed for particular vio-
lations and in respect to the number
of additional policemen to be enrolled
for the enforcement of the traffic
rules. 1t is still a good bill, and its
enactment is most desirable.
Differences of opinion as to the pre-.
else rules to be adopted for the gov
eminent Of traffic, or as to the precise
penalties to be imposed for their vio-
lation, should not block the passage
of this meas sure, which is so highly
essential to the protection of the pub
lie. Traffic conditions here at present
are deplcrably bad. The streets are
daily scenes of violence and tragedy.
A spirit of defiance prevails on the
part of small portion of the driving

Naval Conference Feelers.

1t is welcome news in this country,
and ought to be welcome abroad, that
the American Government is putting
out "feelers" as to the practicability
of another international conference
for the further limitation of naval
ornaments. II is both a natural and
a logical expectation that this Gov
eminent should seek to complement
the achievements Of the Washington
conference Of two years ago by in
wiling the nations to consider If the
time has not come when they can
safely relieve themselves of more of
the burden Of naval ornaments. The
program agreed upon in 1923 now has
been carried out in full by all the
contracting nations; the resulting ben
ef1ts have been realized in better bal
anced budgets, and the taste left, in
the mouths Of taxpayers has been a
pleasant one. Certainly the burden
bearers of the world have an appetite
for more OF the same diet.
President Coolidge is neither being
led nor driven to the steps he is
taking looking to another naval con-
ference. He announced during the
campaign and again in his message
to Congress last December that he
hoped to initiate such an effort when
a favorable opportunity" presented
itself, and he now is merely making
good his word. The European initia-
tive for an a ms conference, as rep
resented in the Geneva protocol, ap-
parently has come to naught, and
lately there have been intimations
from responsible European sources
that an American initiative would
now be welcome.
Apparently the effort the President
is making is confined to conference
on naval ornaments and does not
embrace either land ornaments or

Q. How is a meerschaum pipe col
ored, and what will remove color If
| it is irregular?-W. L. J..
| A. Ordinarily, a meerschaum pipe
Is boiled for coloring in a preparation
Of wax, which is absorbed, and a thin
coating of wax is held on the surface
OF the pipe to take high polish. The
color becomes dark in proportion to
the tobacco that is used in smoking
the pipe. 1t should first be smok ed
slowly, and before a second bowlful is
lighted the pipe should cool of. The
greater part of the coloring of a
meerschaum pipe may be removed by
stepping it for some time in a moder-
ttely strong ammonia solution, one
part of strong ammonia to two parts
IF water.

@. How can parrot be taught
to talk?-A. G.
A. The Bureau of Biological Sur
vey says no hard and fast rule can
be laid down for teaching a bird to
talk. This is entirely a matter of
patience and perseverance in dealin &
with the bird. At first the bird
should be kept in room by itself,
and the cage covered on three sides.
Do not talk to the bird except in re-
peating simple phrases over and over
again. Only one phrase should be
used in a single day in the early
training. Gradually work until sew
eral phrases are repeated over ana
over to the bird each day.
Q. Why is salt used with ice to
freeze ice cream?-D. S. 3.
A. The Bureau Of Standards says
that when salt is placed upon ice at
a temperature not too far below freeZ-
ing point the ice and salt combine to
form a salt solution of lower freezing
point than the ice. The melting of
the ice absorbs heat and thus lowers
the temperature. When ice and salt
are used to make ice cream the ice
| is melted.

Potomac Bathing Beaches.

II Congress in conference shall de-
eide that the Tidal Basin is unfit for
full use by the whole Of the Capital
community for public bathing pur.
poses, and that consequently there
should be no enlargement OF bathing
beach facilities on its borders and that
as soon as it is practicable the exist
ing bathing beach structures should
be disused and removed, our Legisla-
ture will doubtless put its decision
into practical operation in way that
will not abruptly deprive the COM
munity of a priced health-giving priv
ilege like that of the safe and regu-
lated enjoyment by swimmers and
bathers of the waters Of the Potomac.
In other words, Congress will not.
1T Is believed, deny the people OF
Washington during the approaching
hot months the use Of the Tidal Basin
bathing obeach facilities, unless the
conviction is forced upon Congress by
evidence that is convincing that any
further use Of the existing bathing
beach is an absolute menace to
the public health. and unless it pro-
vides simultaneously better bathing
beaches somewhere else.
The people of modern, progressive
city on the banks Of a great river
like the Potomac forfeit some claim
to wise progressiveness if they do
not utilize the waters of that river
for safe and sanitary municipality
regulated swimming and bathing.
Such use of the Potomac by the
people of Washington has been Sc
cured with painful slowness after
years of struggle to overcome obsta-
cles Bathing beach beginnings were
marked by personal sacrifices Of time
and vitality and money in the public
interest. The bathing beach has
finally won its way to recognition as
a popular ealth-promoting institu-
ton, wisely sustained by the munich
pality, performing a useful and highly
important municipal function.
Congress, our municipal legislature,
may ny "lSo COiiSli uStiNC ic6 oeAoii
develop and improve our bathing
beaches, shifting them to safer or
more sanitary locations, with a wider
range Of public use. Our bathing
beaches may we'll be bettered; they
ought not to be destroyed.
Park areas are the city's lungs, its
brea thing places, as well as its show
places. The recreational health-pro-
noting function Of the parks is even
more vital than that Of delighting
the eye by unbroken artistic lowell
ness
In the last few years from 100, 900
TO 40o, 900 bathers have been recorded
at the beach in every Summer. On
one very hot day II, 900 were recorded.
Congress in its municipal legislation
will, of course, take into account
these thousands who exercise their
muscles and expand their lungs by
swimming, as we'll as the other
groups of Potomac Park users who
for outdoor exercise play polo or golf
or tennis or foot ball or base ball.
and as we'll as the multitude who
derive physical benefit from walking
or driving in the park and who in
fractional part take artistic delight
in the picturesque beauty of their
park environment
