American Forest Week.

American Forest week. this year
designated by President Coolidge to be
observed from April 81 to May 8, is Of
special interest to the lumber indus
try, which is taking the initiative in
forming a special committee truly, rep
resentative of those organizations
most actively interested in the promo
tion of sound forestry policy through
out the Nation. The National Lumber
Manufacturers Association will hold
its twenty-third convention in Chi
cago April % and %. The Illinois For
estry Association and the Izaak Wal
ton League of America will join with
the lumber association in featuring
American Forest week.
The American Forest week commit
tee will report its activities and it's re-
suits, and its entire program will be
broadcast. Unusual efforts will be
made to interest public attention in
the subject Of conserving and increas-
ing the forests of the country. An
extraordinary campaign of publicity
is TO be carried on by the committee
of which former Gov Frank O..
Lowden of Illinois is chairman.
1t is estimated that fully 10000
newspapers will be reached with the
Forest week publicity. For four years
the United States Forest Service has
directed the observance of Forest Pro-
lection week. This year the Forest
Service felt that the best interests of
forestry will be served by transferring
arrangements for observing the week
to non-governmental agencies. The
conservation and propagation Of for
estry is one Of the important problems
of the time, and the intensive cam
paign of publicity to be undertaken is
calculated to emphasize it.

Reclamation.

Senator McNary, chairman of the
Senate committee on irrigation and
reclamation, will offer in the next
Congress what is described as the
most comprehensive program yet pre-
sented for dealing with drainage, irri-
cation, reclaiming Of cut-over lands,
rescue of flooded lands and of lands
fitted for agriculture. The general
subject has received the attention of
Congress for. several years past in
individual bills Introduced. The Nc
Nary plan involves an authorization
of a revolving fund of from $3.50, ,000,-
900 to $500. 900, 900, which will be usa-
Bile in all parts of the country to re-
claim waste and unused land Of every
description.

seemed clear to the lay mind that
the airplane was the effective de-

The Clark Art Collection.

Washington's interest in the mu-
nificent gift of William A. Clark of
his art collection, valued at $4,000, 900,
Is that of a reversionary legatee
Should the trustees of the Metropoli-
tan Museum of Art, in New York, de-
eide that they cannot accent this col
LECTION under the donors conditions, it
Is to come to the Corcoran Gallery of
Art in this city. Mr.. CIark's stipula-
ton Is that the collection be kept in
tact and be given a suitable housing.
That requirement will apply to Wash
ington- as well as to New York In case
the. latter city should not accept the
gift.
In his selection of the Metropolitan
Museum as the first heir to the col
lection, Mr.. Clark was actuated, doubt
less. by the fact that New York was his
home for number of years and that
his collection was housed there in
his own residence. His choice of the
Corcoran Gallery as the reversionary
legatee was evidently due to the fact
that he had always manifested a keen
interest in Washington's largest art
collection, having made the Corcoran
Gallery the scene of a biennial Amer
lean salon, generously endowed by
him with prizes of value.
1t is impossible to forecast the ac-
ton Of the. trustees of the MetropoN-
tan Museum of New York. who will
meet on the goth of this month in that
city to decide whethey they can accept
the conditions of the Clark gift. Doubt
has been expressed on this score by
the president of that board. The ira
ditions of the Metropolitan Museum.
it would appear, are inimical to the
acceptance Of collections to be kept
separate and housed in entity. Yet
the collection itself is of exceptional
value. 1t includes a large number of
masterpieces Of painting, as well as
many. rare objects of art. 1t is in itself
one Of the foremost private collections
dition to any gallery. -,
Washington cannot forego the hope
that this collection will come here;
that the trustees of the Metropolitan
Museum, will find it impossible to ae-
cept it, and that those of the Cor
coran Gallery will, despite the magni-
tude' of the responsibility, find it pos
sible in such circumstances to receive
and properly house this rare store of
art, both. in gratitude to the donor,
who has done so much for art In
Washington, and for the prestige and
the enrichment of the Capital City.

The District Budget.

A modernized budget for the DIS
trict of Columbia is proposed by Maj.
Daniel J. Donovan, auditor and budget
officer of the local government. 1t is
move which should result in greater
efficiency and upon which the auditor
should be congratulated. In its efforts
TO nail down every dollar expended
for the city government to SPECIFIC
purpose Congress in the past has
made the administration sometimes
too rigid-has prevented a certain
amount of elasticity which would have
worked to the peoples benefit.
The undermining process advocat-
ed by Maj. Donovan consists in con-
solidation into hump sums many items
of expense now covered as, separate
accounts. Already, Maj. Donovan
points out, Congress has seen the wis
dom of such a course in connection
with the administration of the public
parks, and new street improvements.
In the case of the park administration,
for example. under the new method it
expend not more than $1,000 on GER
tain park, when Congress might have
provided $4,000 for that purpose, and
TO use the other 81 900 for another
park, for which the appropriation
might have been too small in the be-
ginning. In the same way money ap
propriated for new street improve
ment may be used under the new plan,
where hitherto the estimate of appro-
priation for a particular street had to
be rigidly adhered to.
The District appropriation act now
contains AIS different accounts. BY
the consolidation of many items, han
died separately, under the various de-
this number of accounts can be re-
duced materially and at the same time
greater efficiency may be obtained.
There is a growing sentiment In
Congress looking to greater power in
the hands of the District Commission
ers and their subordinates in handling
many District matters, in which de-
tails of administration rather than
principles of government are involved.
The suggestion put forward by Maj.
Donovan is in line with sentiment on
Capitol Hill. : In the effort to say by
law just where each dollar and cent
shall be expended the Congress in the
past nece ssarily has made errors of
judgment, resulting sometimes in de-
ficiency appropriations being asked,
and if not granted, in the failure to
perform certain tasks which should
have been performed.

To the Editor of The Star:

When I plead for the Armenian

what excuse can any one have for re-
fusing help in this case. The. only
one have vet met is this: I'VE don't

1t is true that the Armenian race

East has been the battle-ground of
nations. No other portion of the
world 8 surface has been SO drenched
with human blood. Millions of lives
and billions in property have been
sacrificed. Armies and navfes have
failed. They have brought only desola-
ton and ruin. They have not enriched
life. Where there was hatred they
have engendered more hatred. Yet there
will be no permanent peaceg until the

mightier than all the armies of the

whether the beneficiary of a life in

proceeds of a life insurance policy,
which do not come into existence
