Noisy Trucks Cause
Georgetown Distress
tn the Editor of The Star


Georgetown's status as a Summer
resort is seriously threatened by an
ear-splitting, heartrending, nerve-de-
1t descends upon the quiet of this
beautiful old town in the early morn
ing and lasts all day.
It's cause is an endless procession
of motor trucks, loaded with earth
for an immense fill on Wisconsin ave-
nue.. These trucks either cross the
O Street Bridge or climb up Twenty
seventh street to @ street. follow Q
street westward, climb by another
street to r street. and thence to their
destination. Without muff1ers, and
climbing hills, each can be heard two
blocks away and two blocks after it
passes. AS they come a few minutes
apart the suffering they occasion is
almost continuous.
If you have ever waited at a rail-
road station while an express train
thundered by. you can imagine the
painful, sometimes frightening, effect
of this unceasing torture. The sick.
the delicate and the nervous are not
the only victims. The rule in George
town now is to close tight every door
and window on the street, and live
all day in the back of the house.
This began last Summer. Appeals
to the city authorities then brought
the explanation that these trucks had
to use the Q Street Bridge because
the NJ Street Bridge was out Of order.
But what relief would the M Street
Bridge be when these trucks come up
Twenty-seventh street to Q anyway?
Why can't they be kept off the
residence streets?
If they absolutely must use resi-
dence streets, why cannot they be
forced to apply muff1ers; and. If they
have no mufflers. why cannot their
owners be compelled to put mufflers
on them?
Are people to be obliged to spend
the hot months in their kitchens or
escape out Of town?
Washington protects residence
streets elsewhere: why should George
town be obliged to submit to this
daily horror?
-. We understand that this will last
all Summer. The valley where this
fill is making Is long, wide and deep.
This particular real estate project
will be followed by others. The pros
pect dismays.

Hence arises the extreme necessity
for greater stress than ever on mat

liberately chosen through the years

that lack OF what Is commonly called
an education has any particular
thing to do with this matter.
We have been privileged to know
almost totally unlettered men who had

courtesy, almost as If by Instinct.
Especially did they possess refined
outlook upon women that. was re-
fected in their every act and word.
The real need for some little lessons
in civilization comes in training the
children. Perhaps the grown-up
Founders in striped ties and others
are beyond all hope in this world. we
will have to put up with them the
best we may. We have q suspicion
that they have no very high opinion
Of us. either.
With the children. however. all Is
different There is no need why they
should be compelled to go through lie
branded by the discriminating as
having been brought up in a stable.
Yet, what is one to think of a bright

presence of guests, and removed his
shoes and stockings, to the huge
amusement of his parents, but not OF

In public such n child has no
thought for any one in the world ex-
cept himself. What he wants to do,
he does, or tries to do. because he has
gotten away with It" at home. be-
cause he has been trained to be I'M
civilized, because he invariably thinks
of himself frs, last and all the time
When he grows up this boy will be
a man who deliberately parks his auto
mobile to prevent two others from
parking alongside him, simply in or
der that he may be able to get out
easier.
He is the man who smokes in pub

dinner, without one thought of those
around him who are not through eat
ing.
He is the man-but what, indeed. is
the use? If civilization can make no
impress upon him, what can we do?

"Balks at Sutherland"

"Balks at Sutherland"
 MT. Murray refuses to vote for or to support the Republican candidate for Delegate to Con- gress because of Sutherland's attack on Judge Ritchie the district judge in the Third Divison It is we'll known in Washington that Judge Ritchie defeated himself. He had the backing of the President of the United States. He had just received the nomination from the President. The Senate of the United States, controlled by Coolidge Republicans anxious to support President Coolidge. The leader of the Senate committee Judiciary was Senator Albert B. Cunmins as faithful in following the President his own shadow.
 And yet, the facts that brought out in the Senate hearings were such that Senator AL bert B. Cumrnins went to the President and REQUESTED him to withdraw the name of Judge Ritchie BECAUSE the record of that Judge COULD NOT BE SUCCESSFULLY de- fended The record made by MT. Ritche himself federal judge. The facts were brought out in the Senate hearings by MT. Ritchie
 Mr. Murray Should be Consistent
 MT. Sutherland merely acted as compiler of facts The adverse decision for Ritchie was made by the Senate of the United States in which President Coolidge joined. Therefore Joseph Murray should direct his anger at the Senate and the President and not against man: who merely did his duty in presenting the facts which they saw fit to take such drastic action.
 Ritchie Condemned
 Judge Ritchie condemned on his record by the Senate of the United States and by the President. And yet, the erstwhile independent Joseph Murray, Republican candidate for public office, still kisses the feet of powers who have condemned his favorite and shows his anger, against a subordinate official who merely acted the servant of these powers.
