He Made Thousands Laugh.

From the Warren Tribune.
If told Maurice Bernard is dead in
Lancaster. Pa, the average person
would probably ask who the decedent
was. But announce that Max Hugo
is dead and thousands of elder per-
sons mourn. Max Hugo was the pro-
fessional name of Maurice Bernard,
the greatest of all circus clowns, who
died few days ago.
Hugo was one of the pioneers OF his
profession He was made famous by
p. 7. Barnum and helped to make
Barnum famous Hugo was with
Barnum's circus when Barnum gave
utterance to that classic declaration.
"the public likes to be humbugged, :"
but Hugo never humbugged his au-
dience.
Many of the tricks and stunts en-
ployed by the modern clown were the
invention of Hugo, developed by him
through half century of funmaking
in the sawdust ring. To him Is given
credit for making the clown acts a
circus feature.
Men and women who as children
watched with infinite amusement
Hugo disport under the big top"
heard with sorrow of the tragic end
ing of the great clowns professional
career some years ago. Hugo was
giving his clown act in an Edinburgh
theater when the building caught fire.
In attempting to rescue Hugo's dog
the show manager, friend of Hugo,
was killed. Hugo never returned to
the stage or tent.

Changing stop" Lights.

Assistant Traffic Director Moller
has decreed that all stop lights on
automobiles in the District shall be
equipped with amber lenses instead or
the customary red. This IS i'll line
with the policy of the traffic authori-
ties to standardiZe colors IN both
lights and signs.
Although the idea of standardized
ton is a eood one, it seems that
local authorities are getting of on
the wrong foot in attempting to regu-
late lights of this type after they
reach the hands of the owner. The
place to begin Z movmeent OF this
sort is at the factories where the
stop lights are made, and at the
automobile plants where they are in
stalled.
1t would be an almost impossible
city to replace the red lens with am
Der in the various types of stop
lights now on the market. Every con-
ceivable shape, every size and every
thickness of glass has been utilized, it
seems, by the manufacturers for the
making of stop lights. To find substi-
tutes for these lenses before January
l when the new law becomes effective,
would be task requiring the in
genuity of a Sherlock Holmes.
1t is apparent that the use of red
for danger, yellow or amber for eau
ton and green for speed in both
lights and signs is splendid idea II
put into effect throughout the coun-
try. The new signs on Bladensburg
road for the speed limit of so miles
an hour is the first attempt on the
part of the local authorities to carry
out the plan. They are painted green.
and on sighting them ahead the motor
ist knows that he may step on it,
after he passes them. This color
scheme is the recommendation of the
Hoover safety conference, and even
tually will be used in all parts of the
United States.
II insurmounta Bile difficulties are
encountered by the motorists of Wash
ington in complying with the edIct
in regard to stop lights, it is probable
that the time will be extended or the
law modified so as to apply only to
new equipment. There would certainly
be no point in ruff1ins the temper of
the motorists of the National Capital
over such a comparatively small mat

white. and Algenib is also white. All
of these other stars shine with second
to third Magnitude brightness. Each
of the four sun gems in the great
square is distant trillions OF miles,
their rays of light taking many years
to reach us. Compared with this re

distance to our own sun, whose light
reaches us after a journey OF only 499

Rescue.

a radio message came into the port
of New York from Capt. Paul Grenins
Of the United States liner President
Harding as follows:
After removal of crew Of -. aban-
doned Ignatio Florio at am. lati-
tude At degrees 80 minutes north,
longitude 81 degrees 46 minutes west.
Sinking condition. S. s. Elvin along
side when last seen.
Behind this simple statement is
story of heroic work at sea, Of the res
cue of endangered men from their
sinking ship in a. storm of tremendous
fury. Capt. Grening stood by the ls-
natio Florio until he accomplished the
removal Of the twenty-seven men from
the wreck. He was carrying malls.
and under the law he could not tarry
on his route save in the extreme
emergency of rescue. 1t was neces-
upon Ire sea. There was extreme
danger in the rescue work. One Of
the President Harding's lifeboats was
smashed while being put overheard
The rescuing ship was herself in peril
as she lay to in the violent seas, LASH
ed by an eighty hurricane.
But there was no falterlng. The task
was accomplished. Then the nose Of
the President Harding was turned
westward and the mails were once
more started on their way, to be de-
livered forty eight hours or perhaps
more late. Nobody will complain Of
lardy letters in such a cause.

Crime as a Business.

Recently thief entered an apart
ment in a New York hotel and stole
Jewels worth several hundred thousand
dollars. No arrests were made, as no
clues were left to the identity of the
thief After futile police hunt there
was a lapse of quietude, and then it
was announced that the jewels had
been returned to the owner, through
the agency of the insurance company
which had issued a theft" policy
upon them. No complaint was made
to the police by the company, but the
district attorney of New York County
began an investigation, inasmuch as
the buying back of the loot from the
thief or thieves was an encourage
ment to crime. The grand jury is
now studying the case. with a view
possibly to indictments. at least the

which will check the practice Of traf-
fic with thieves.
Thus far in the inquiry it has been
! disclosed that there is a veritable bust
ness organization among the jewel
, thieves and established connection
with the insurance compa anies. The
latter work through detectives, who
establish contacts" with the under
world. When insured jewels are stolen
the insurance detective on the case
sends word through contact that
he Is interested" in the recovery Of
certain hot stuff or newly taken
plunder. The thief or ''srabber" has,
in accordance with the established
practice. "unloaded' on a 'plinS
man." who in turn has passed 1t on 10
! a "layer." who then lays 1t with the
| fence" Thus it has passed through
at least four pairs OF hands before II
Is set" for delivery. The detectives
contact gets word TO the renee mat
there is business afoot. The fence
communicates through layer ana
plingman TO the crook, and neSotla-
tions are thus instituted Tor ransom.
SomtimeS the fence fixes the amount
to be paid. ard when there Is a dl1ef-
ence between the insurance company
and the fence meetings or pilnd
telephone talks are necessary TO reach
an adjustment. Eventually settle
ment is reached, a meeting is ar
ranged, delivery is effected, the cash
is paid and the case is closed. In the
latest case it is understood that the
sum paid was Sos 900, or about 10 per
cent of the value of the jewels stolen.
No one knows how the money Is
| "split" between fence. layer, plinGman
and crook.
All the parties to this complicated
transaction are violating the law. All
fouY of the underworld members of
The chain are guilty Of participation
in the theft The insurance company
through it's representative, Is compro-
missing with crime. Jewelry insurance
Inns becomes a system of settlement
! with the thieves. so long as this
method is pursued there is little
chance of arrest and prosecution uh-
less the thief plumbers. He, OF course
| takes his chance with the law. Often'
however. he is the most poorly pald

Now it is proposed TO start the Ia"

The First National Church.

In connection with the plans for the
erection Of a new home for the First
Congregational Church in this city as
national church Of that denomina-
ton, it was stated yesterday in The
Star that the Mount Vernon Place
Church Of the Southern Methodist de-
nomination was the first of the ma
tional' churches TO be established in
Washington. This statement is not
accurate. The first national church
erected by the members of a denomi-
nation throughout the country to be
built and maintained in Washington
was the Metropolitan. Memorial NJ. E.
Church at Four-and "a half street, now
John Marshall place. and { street
northwest. 1t is proper to note this
fact as a matter of history and in jus.
tice to one of the oldest church or
GaniZationS in Washington.
At the General Conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church held in
1852 d resolution was adopted to the
effect that we erect in the metropolis
ediflce, which should be regarded as a
connectional monument to our beloved
Methodism.' A group of Washing

League, Peace and
Y Arms Limitation

To the Editor OF The Star:
Your editorial on the league and
Locarno in Mondays issue seems to
me to point TO the wrong conclusion
The next step after the almost unbe-
lievably happy outcome of the Lo-
carno conference should, indeed, be
conference on the limitation Of arma-
ments, but that this conference ought
to be held in Washington rather than
under the. auspices of the League OF
Nations is not so clear. If the league
should issue the call it could hardly
be accused of trying to seize The lead
erShip in the movement from the
United States, as your editorial as
serts, for the league itself took the
lead in that movement when /, in
corporated Articles VIII and TX in
it's constitution. 1t Is not super
fiuous thing to call attention to these
articles. for we cannot be credlteo. as
A people, with knowing what that
constitution provides. The nsnt
against the league in this country
was based on the assumption that we
would not read Article for our
selves, and that we would accept
ton. -- -..-
:: :: !:
We repudiated the league, and for
reasons that strike at the very eb-
sence of conference and cooperation
of any kind We could not go in, we
said because to do SO would Involve
the surrender of something OF our ma
tiopal independence. AS though we
did not know that every act In Whlch
two or more nations or two or more
individuals cooperate Involves tne
sure nder of certain amount OF In
dependence for the sake of the
greater strength that comes from con-
certed action. If Red" Grange
should come to feel that he was max.
ing too great sacrifice Of his inde-
pendence in following the foot hsli
signals he would find 1t impossible TO
remain on the Illinois eleven. Not
only that. He would find 1t inpos-
sible To play on any eleven. Least
Of al could he aspire TO the leader

ton that because Gov. Ed jackson
