Save the Bathing Beaches.

When the Senate and House agreed
to eliminate from the District appro-
priation bill maintenance provisions
for 1926 for both bathing beaches, ac-
tual and prospective, on the Tidal
Basin, and Cancelled the appropriation
for the construction Of the prospective
colored bathing beach, it was supposed
that the effect was to obliterate both
bathing beaches, the one in existence
and the one about to be constructed.
1t appears, however, that the sub
stantive law, as yet unrepealed, direct
ed and directs the chief OF engineers
to construct and maintain the existing
bathing beach on the Tidal Basin, and
that for 1926 a lump-sum appropria-
ton for Fairgrounds is available for
such maintenance, in the absence Of
the specific appropriations that have
been eliminated from the District ap-
preparation bill.
Congress has clearly indicated that
il does not intend that there shall be
second bathing beach on the Tidal
Basin, and that as soon as the public
interest will permit the one already
there shall be removed.
In respect to a colored bathing
beach, Congress has declared that
there should be one and has made
adequate appropriation for one on the
west shore of the Tidal Basin. Con-
gress has now changed it's mind con-
corning the location of this beach, but
it has not indicated a change of mind
concerning the wisdom in the public
interest of establishing such beach
IN better place. Why not then make
the unexpended appropriations for
colored bathing beach on the Tidal
Basin available for providing tempo
rary bathing facilities for the colored
people elsewhere than on the Tidal
Basin, pending the eventual perma-
uent establishment of both bathing
beaches at some location, to be rem
dered ideal, like Columbia Island?
II existing substantive law requires
the maintenance Of the white bathing
beach until that law has been directly
amended or repealed why not utilize
the existing bathing plant on the Tidal
Basin to furnish temporary bathing
facilities for white Washingtonians
until a better temporary bathing
beach is prepared elsewhere, or until
the ideal permanent beaches have been
located and equipped for use?

The Mall-Avenue Triangle.

Representative Underhill announces
that he will make an effort to secure
action by the House at this session,
under suspension Of the rules If neces-
sary, on a bill introduced by him au-
thorizing an appropriation Of $15,000,-
900 for the acquisition Of land between
Pennsylvania avenue and the Mall. If
he fails at this session, he says, he will
reintroduce the bill and press for it's
early consideration in the next Con-
gress.
This proposition has been before
Congress for good many years. Ac-
QUESTION of land between the Avenue
and the Mall for Government building

which would have been averted by an
automatic train-stop device such as
the Interstate Commerce Commission
has ordered installed on certain major
trunk lines of this country, the one on
which the wreck occurred included.
The railroad companies have not been
prompt in their response to the re-
quirement and have sought an exten-
sion OF time In fact, they wish for
an indefinite postponement.
It has been argued that a very much
smaller number of persons are killed
in train collisions in this country than
are killed at grade crossings, and that,
consequently, such means as the rail-
roads possess for track improvements
and reformations should be expended
upon the abolition OF death-traps
rather than upon a system of train
stops which, they aver, is still ex-
perimental.
1t is unfortunately true that more
lives are sacrificed at grade crossings
than in collisions. But that is no rea.
son why effort should not be made to
correct both evils simultaneously. 1t
is also true that the work Of correct
ing these two evils-that of prevent
ing collisions by means of automatic
stops and that of preventing grade
crossing fatalities by eliminating the
crossings, will cost an immense sum
of money. In the abolition Of the
grade crossings, however, States and
local communities are contributing to
the expense in large proportion. The
share of the railroads is less in the
long run than that OF the taxpayers.
The railroads themselves must carry
the whole burden Of equipping their
lines with automatic stop systems.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has rightly decreed an early installa-
ton of the latter. The States are
tardily, but surely, moving to elm
mate the grade-crossing evils.

Raymond T. Baker, former director
of the mint, is being groomed by the
Democrats of his native Nevada for
the 1925 senatorial nomination. The
Beau Brummel Of politics-that is one
of Bakers acknowledged claims to
distinction-aspires to capture Task er
L. Oddte's seat and make Nevada S
delegation in the Senate entirely safe
for the Democratic party. Mr. Baker
is one of the pillars of the ,McAdoo

support of that sect in the pursuit of
his senatorial ambitions. Somebody
else who would probably make

the. Government and designed as a site
for three department structures, for
all Of which, however, 1t was soon dis
covered there would not be sufficient
room. The Government has never util-
lied this tract, save for the construc-
tion Of a temporary war building"
and the area in general remains as it
was, in shabby condition, devoted
to numerous miscellaneous private
uses.
Meanwhile, a blight has been put
upon the entire tract as regards pri-
vate development for the dead hand"
rested over it to discourage its use for
business purposes. The area is OBJ
viously suited for public buildings.
Eventually it must come within the
scope of the Governments property
holdings. and it is only just that
move to this end should be made
promptly.

bill, which has just become law, there
is a provision for the widening of B
street north, east Of Sixth, and the
opening OF a new avenue Of approach
diagonally crossing Pennsylvania ave-
nue. to the northwest corner Of the
Capitol grounds. This will include
portion of the eastern end of the Mall
Avenue triangle. Representative Un-
derhill's bin would include the entire
area. making it possible to create this

as occasion arises, as occasion is GER
tain to arise in the near future, to pro-
vide sites for the new structures which
are to be erected here to furnish homes
for the now-congested departments

Consideration of this bill at this ses-
sion would be in line with actions al
ready taken, and would be a saving to

No matter what is going wrong
The answer Is the same.

That Congress is to blame.
The taxes and the annual rent,
The price of warmth and food,
In spite Of laws to circumvent,
Proceed with methods rude.
When ills come singly or in mass
We VOW that joy is hid
Because Of Bills that didn't pass
Or else Of some that did.
So he who comes as Rep. or Sen.
A martyr we proclaim,
Since in the eyes Of fellow men
He'll have to share the blame.

Pitching Horseshoes.

The announcement is made that
when the municipal Fairgrounds open
the players will find provision for
pitching horseshoes. When this game
was in its heyday, it was believed that
only members of the sterner, nobler,
bolder and more whiskered sex, and
so forth, could win honors at it. Times
have so changed that one may see
members Of the weaker, gentler, more
lovely, and sc forth, sex ringing the
bob and bearing away prizes of the
game.
So far as antiquity goes, the game
Of pitching horseshoes puts it all over
several other games. Horseshoe pitch
ing is descended from pitching Quoits,
and it has been said that pitching
quoits is descended from the Greek
game Of hurting the discus. But this
is really a matter for those idle
scholars who have nothing else to do
but chase down old things. In these
parts horseshoe pitching is an old
game. Men and boys pitched horse
shoes in the streets Of jamestown 300
years ago, and the game was played
in the streets and yards" of st.
Mary's City almost as long ago. OF
course, if we are to honor American
games because Of their age, some
honors ought to go to archery, be-
cause arrows were being shot from
bows in this country before horseshoes
were pitched in the streets of James
town, even before there was a street
in Jamestown. And then a man might
come along and say that archery is an
upstart and that an older and more
respectable American pastime was
that Of swinging stone clubs against
opposing heads.
At any rate, horseshoe pitching is a
venerable game and making high
scores at ringing the bob requires
skill. 1t is believed that in q simpler
age there were boys and men who
showed more skill in pitching horse
shoes than some men and women show
today in playing golf or tennis. 1t will
be a good thing to let the boys have
a try-out at pitching horseshoes on the
municipal play lots. If the boys dc
not find it thrilling enough, the super
visors can hang the horseshoes over
the gate for good luck.

Nations Keep Faith.
Newspaper Notes Observance of
Disarmament Treaty.

February 25 next marks the time
limit set in the Washington arma-
ment treaty for the destruction of
American, British and Japanese naval
vessels doomed by common agree
ment to put crimp in war-breeding
armament competition. This part of
the treaty has been fully and faith
fully executed. The great expert
ment begun at Washington has
proved successful, but the fact has
not been hailed as loudly as it's sig
niflcance calls for. 1t was the first
of its kind in the history and put
international honesty to a severe test.
There was considerable possibility
that the treaty would not prove
water tight; that developments would
arise to prevent it's execution. If
anything had gone wrong, the world
would have noted 1t amid howls and
execrations. But normality reigned.
There was no slip. Everything went
off on schedule time. Therefore, the
world takes little notice. History
will adjudge the success of the great
experiment at its true yalue.-Phila-

Q. Does the nlbert nut grow on
bush or a tree?-F. J. B.
A. If a filbert tree Is neglected it
will degenerate into a clump of
bushes, but If trained and pruned
correctly when young, It will become
a tree. In Vermont they tend to be
bushes, while in Oregon, which is
the best section Of the country for
filberts, they give the appearance Of
q tree.
Q. What industries employ the
most children?-E. c. w.
A The textile industry employs
more children than any other,

textile industry nearly 13, 900 children
between 10 and 16 years old in the
steel mills; almost 1900 in clothing
factories and shirt shops; 10000 in
lumber mills and furniture factories;
$500 in shoe factories and $500 in

~ n c 70 lTon
there were 162,700 children in other
miscellaneous occupations, making a
total of nearly one-half million
children in manufacturing, mechani-
| cal. or industrial occupations.
9. Why is console table So
called?-V. d.
A. Console is a French architect
ural term applied to an upright cor
bel in architecture which forms a
stone bracket. In the case of the
console table, the name is derived
from the shape of the legs, which
resemble scroll-shaped brackets,
They are usually richly ornamented.
Q. Is there any point on the high
seas where bottom has not been
foundNM S

have not as yet been completely ex-
plored. The greatest known depth
Is 1886 feet, equal to 6S miles,
which is found 145 miles southeast
Of Toxic.
Q. Are more boys studying to be

Q. Can cat see in the dark "A.
| NJ. p.
A. A cat can see in the dusk better
than a human being can, because the
cats eyes are sensitive to ultra-vio-
let rays. Its pupils are capable OF
greater expansion than those of man
or of almost any other animal, thus
| admitting more light. The cat uses
| it's whiskers as feelers in the dark.
