THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL.

be kind to them. The factors that have
led to these great traits in w3man-
kind do not mitigate against them all,
but only reinforce them. If 1t were not
| for kindness and cleanness, none OF
us grand creatures would last our first
year.
Inasmuch as we have been the
recipients of kindness and cleanness,
we are able to patroniZingly refer to
| the mothers of men," as though the
| importance of that sex comes from
the latter rather than from the former
| word.
Cleanliness is married to kindness.
| The care and attention women spend
on their underwear shows this latter
slips into his XYZ union suit and
| thinks no more of 1t. but the ladies
simply revel in their "stepins' and
their step-outs, etc. etc.
Does any mere man think this shows
their vanity?
Not on their sweet life, 1t shows
! their regard for cleanliness. These
| things are concealed from the ordinary
| sight of day. The laces on the f1ounces
| or the flounces on the laces-er-er-
| the laces and the fiounces, and the
er-er-hounces and the laces seem
to serve no particular purpose.
| But they were put there by the
| universal love of women for cleanli
| ness. They are cleaner, on the inside
| where nobody sees, than men are or
| the outside where the world looks.
| A man wears the same old suit da J
| in and day out, and If il is of the
| proper color it will not show dust. A
woman, IL she can, has as many
washing them.
This fondness for "clean things" is
not due to extravaganza, as many mis-
guided husbands think, but solely
arises as the result of this sex urge
| for cleanness. which never ceases t
whisper in woman's ear:
| "Clean up, Paint up"'

| What man Of us would indulge IN
"houseclea ming" in the Springer a
any other season?
What gentleman believing in "ef

would ever think of washing tn,
blankets of his own volition?
What would the manufacturers o
electric washing machines do for {
living if they had only male readers
of their ads?

Dusty streets, smoky skies. are ties
timonials in most cities to the lack o
regard for cleanliness among the men
who, to date, have had the manage
ment of cities.
When Uncle Sam gets married, a.
the title of a recent book by a woman
demands, maybe we will see the tw'
great feminine characteristics. kind

Then, boys, watch out.

city hall physical cleanness will b.
extended to the streets, to all manne
of places.
Then will come the great Sprini
cleaning of government itself, and, a
last. the cleaning of the hearts o
men. Only then, it seems TO me
will the world have reason to cor
rectly use any such phrase as 9TH

District Estimates and Taxes.

The Commissioners are taking up
the estimates and putting them IN
shat,e for submission to the Budget
Bureau md to Congress, and in this
connection they are sounding public
opinion concerning the amount or the
estimates, the favored items OF large
expenditure and the principle and
policy upon which the estimates
shall be based.
Some of the questions which thus
arise have already been answered by
a direct expression of organized local
public opinion or by the action OF Con
gress. Thus the question whether the
estimates should be framed on the
basis of acceptance of the lump-sum
payment plan is answered in the mega
tive both by Congress and by petition
ing Washington. 1t was proposed by
the House that the Commissioners
might estimate on the lump-sum pay
ment plan. but the Senate opposed
and in the end Congress negatived the
proposition and it was dropped from
the appropriat ton bill. The community
has repeatedly indicated that in view
CT the obvious benefits of the definite
proportionate contribution plan il will
never voluntarily abandon that basis
Of Capital maintenance for the lump
sum payment plan, and that If the lat
ter is ever made permanent substan-
tive law by Congress there will be no
acquiescence in advance on their part
to encourage the making of the
change The petition OF the citizens
Joint fiscal committee against the
lump-sum payment plan sets forth
clearly the benefits which the com
munity derives from the definite pro-
portionate contribution plan. and the
representative character of the sign
ers Of the petition indicates that the
thoughts which it expresses are
backed by organized Washington. This
petition is printed elsewhere in The
Star today as pertinent TO the present
discussion.
Not only will the community
through the Commissioners wisely re
fuse to base the estimates on accept
ance of the lumD-sum payment Plan
but there will be the same wisdom in
refusing to accept nine million dollars
as the fixed maximum of appropria tion
under a possible continuation for an
other period of the temporary tentative
good for -one-year- only lumpsum pay
ment plan.
If there is to be even on tempo,
rary basis further experimenting with
the lump-sum payment plan the
amount OF the lump sum should be
left flexible and subject to be increa sed
ments of existing law.
The evil and danger of any other
system of appropriation are EN-
pla sized by what happened last year
and is liable TO happen this year ir
connection with the National Capital
Park Commission law and its appro
priation. The law creating this com
mission stamped the project as dis
tinctly national, and enacted that ex
pense should be met on the definite
proportionate maintenance basis, but
under the actual conditions of the ap
preparation every cent Of it was raised
by local taxation. And if the conditions
are not changed every cent of the mil
lion dollar appropriation for next veal
and for years after for this commits
sion will increase the burden ant
raise the tax rate Of the District tax
payers.

Orville Wright's Stand

entire accuracy. Every effort should
be made to prevent such a develop

AROUSE GOTHAM

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-Two bold
daylight holdups upset the hopes OF
the police that thei roundup of a
dozen members of an alleged gang
would, materially improve the local
crime situation.
Six heavily-armed men raided the
automobile in which a salesman for
Larter & Son, Maiden Lane jewel
ers, was carrying four suitcases of
gems valued at 100000. In the
sight of scores of passerbys they
escaped. This occurred at 84th

same time in West 102d street a
cigar store was held up by two rob-
bers who took $3.50 from the safe
and cash register.

SAYS BIG MEN DID NOT
 BACK AVIATION MEET HERE

The aviation meet held in this city Saturday and Sunday was a success in every way as far as flying was concerned, but was not so big Q success financially be- cause too many people got in who didn't pay, and because 1t was not backed up by the big men of the town, according 10 former Mayor George A. Quigley, in B report to the Lions club today.
 The former mayor stated that there were not more than 20 of the prominent men of the city present at any time during the entire two days. "The meet has done one thing, however" he said. "We are going 10 have an aviation field in New Britain" He added that it ought not to be difficult to raise enough money in this city 10 provide a field. He said he had done some flying Sunday for the first time, and that while he had not gone through any stunts as did a news paperman present at the meeting, he was sold on flying and intend ed to buy plane of his own in the near future, and become a flier himself.
