marked on the east coast. Certain
freight embargoes in existence for
some time have 50 hampered ship
ments Of building materials that water
transport has been utilized. and in
consequence the harbor facilities Of
the southern Florida ports have been
congested. The express embargo on
supplies has been brought about by a
shifting from freight to express of
goods formerly carried by tho slower
method. causing an express conges-
ton In turn.
Additional railroad lines are being
constructed, but work in that direc.
ton Is slower than the growth Of the
State in population. Were the State
not so long and slim, with the zone Of
chief activity centered within a COM
paratively small area at the tip Of the
peninsula. there would be much less
difficulty. However, the spirit that is
animating the Florida development is
not likely to be checked by a mere
geographical disability. and unless
present measures bring relief doubt
less air transport will be resorted to
as an expedient quite in keeping with
the enterprise that is making Florida
the wonder State of the Union.

Maintain Washington's Record.

Washington record for generous
giving at Christmas time to the AS
ISOLATED Charities fourteen opportuni-
ties is being maintained this year.
More than $1,000 has already been
subscribed. Approximately $4,000 is
needed in all to give happiness and
a small measure of comfort to the
fourteen families on whose behalf the
appeal has been made.
Six days are now left for the re-
naming amount to be given by Wash
ington residents, who have never
failed to heed this annual call. For
fifteen years the Associated Charities
has been making up a list of fourteen
selected cases for Christmas aid, and
in all this time the public of Washing
ton has subscribed 100 per cent.
Sixty-nine individuals will face the
future with the grim lines Of worry
over finances removed from their
faces; sixty-nine individuals will bene-
fit from subscription of this small
amount, and sixty-nine individuals
will bless the givers for their gen.
crosby in enabling them to keep life
together.
Each one of the fourteen opportu-
mites has been carefully investigated.
The history Of the family is known
and the amounts needed to aid them
to carry on" have been computed. In
most cases it is a very small amount.
Take, for instance, opportunity No. 2,
with a widow supporting six children
under Is and only S14 week needed;
or No. IA, where the plight of
two old people, not long for this
world, Is shown. In this case only
$40 a week is desired.
Washington's 100 per cent record
is in no danger Of being broken this
year. Each day brings the total
nearer the goal and relief to those
in dire need. When the campaign for
Christmas, 1925, has been officially
marked "closed," $12,960 will have
been subscribed by the public Of the
National Capital. There can be no
other end to the annual appeal for
the fourteen opportunities.

The Elongated Boom State.

The State of Florida, bountifully
gifted by nature, is at the same time
by it's confguration handicapped in
full enjoyment of the boom which it
is now experiencing. Roughly speak
ing, the State is a great right angle,
with each arm nearly 400 miles in
length. The distance from the Florida
Georgia boundary corner by air line to
Key West is more than half as great
as that from the same point to New
ern corner to Key West in 600 miles
by air line.
These distances are in themselves
the cause of difficulty in transporta-
ton, but it is the peculiar nature of
the peninsula which constitutes the
greater body of the State that imposes
the most serious handicap. There is
room, of course, for numerous trans
portation lines, but the boom has come
faster than the railroad development,
and so just now with great inflow
of population and a tremendous &C
tivity of construction the question OF
railway transport has become eX-
tremely serious.
An absolute embargo has been
placed on all express shipments into
Florida, and a similar ban is declared
on outward bound shipments of citrus
fruit and fish. 1t is expected, however,
that the latter embargo on perishables
will be lifted. These embargoes are
compelled by the enormously heavy
flow Of travel, which has caused seri.
Gus railroad congestion, particularly

The Capital and Its Climate.

In the course of the debate In the
Senate yesterday on the bill to make
next Saturday a legal holiday in the
District complaint was made that
there are too many such stoppages
of public business, and it was re-
marked that as a result of the intol-
cradle conditions in some of the Gov
eminent departments, owing to in
adequate housing. it has been found
necessary during the heated term on
some occasions to dismiss the en-
ployeS for portions of the afternoon.
1t was thereupOn suggested that the
remedy for that situation is "to move
the Capital into a decent climate"
This question of the climate of
Washington has been often mooted
in discussions regarding the Federal
administration. A good many years
ago the topic of the removal of the
Capital was actively pressed from
time to time. There once was a veri-
table organization with that purpose
i'm view, and conventions actually
were held to forward the movement
for a transfer of the seat of Gov
eminent. The chief promoter of the
enterprise was in favor of the shift
from Washington to st. Louis.
The idea of transferring the Capt.
tai from Washington TO St. Louis as
IL more agreeable Summer seat Of
Government has its ludicrous aspect.
In the days of the Capital moving
a agitation the climate was never cited
as a reason for the proposed change.
The argument was based wholly on
geographical grounds. that Wash
ington is too far away from the CEN
ter of population. But when the
Capital movers met and seriously dis
cussed the question it was found that
other cities than st. Louis were aspir-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1925-12-19

ants. and confusion rapidly developed
in the ranks of the proponents of the
change. They could not agree upon
any one point.
Just so would it be impossible to
settle upon any specific location for
the Capital on the score of a more
clement climate. To shift the seat of
Government to secure a continuously.
uniformly and dependably bland and
moderate range OF temperature In
one particular point would be a prac-
teal impossibility. To move it about
according to the season would be one
Of the biggest jobs this country has
ever undertaken. A peripatetic seat
of Government, shifting with the sun
and the winds and the seasonal
changes, would, of course, be an in
teresting spectacle but an extremely
costly one.
1t was proposed yesterday to have
"a Capital in the mour tains in Sum-
mer and in Florida in Winter. This
was promptly recognized as bit Of
publicity for the Peninsula State. But
it has it's parallel in the fiivver mi
grafton that has been in progress for
several years, in the course of which
a large percentage of the American
people have made gasoline tours with
a tremendous total mileage.
Washington is not concerned over
the possibility of Capital moving. 1t
was indeed never really disturbed by
the most serious suggestions along
that line. Not even in the days of
Reavis, the archmover of all, who.
about fifty-five years ago, was per-
sistent in his advocacy of a transfer,
did the District of Columbia worry
over a possible desertion by Uncle
Sam. 1t is confident of standing up
we'll in any comparison on the score
of climate. and it respectfully urges
that the most practical and econom-
ical and assured means of correct
ing the condition which Senator
Smoot yesterday described in the
Government departments in Mid
summer is to erect more and better
buildings for Government housing
and thereby make the Federal ad-,
ministrative establishments here more
definitely permanent.
