be contenders for the presidential
nominations. It must not be forgot
ten that women have heretofore been
in the field. One of them, long before
the adoption of the nineteenth amend
ment, was on several occasions an
actual candidate for the office. Mrs.
Belva Lockwood never received any
electoral votes, but she did break into
the popular vote" column. She was
a pioneer. who must not be forgotten
in this connection.
Woman suffrage was won in this
country on the basis Of logical reason
ing. In short order women began to
appear in the political field and soon
began to be seen in Congress, as well
rs in the State Legislatures. Women
have been elected governors of States.
Some have been elected judges. They
have been appointed to high admins
trative offices, and the day may come,
shortly, when a woman win sit at the
President cabinet table. There Is
nothing startling in such a suggestion.
Nor is there anything ~grotesque in
the suggestion of either woman can
didate or a woman President And a
fact Of moment is to be noted in this
connection. If one or the other of the
major parties does not some day
name a woman as candidate a wom-
ans political party is almost certain
to form and to do that thing, with
such success as fortune may de-
termine.

Another Channel Record.

When Gertrude Ederle swan the
English Channel in the astonishingly
low time of Ia hours and 81 minutes
there was a general feeling that the
Summers swimming record had been
| made. When a few days later Mrs.
Amelia CorSOn made the swim in Is
hours and % minutes-considerab
below the best record made previous
to Miss Ederle's performance-it was
felt that the women had indeed set
the pace for the men. But almost i'm
| mediately came Ernst Vierkoetter
with a swim in 12 hours and 43 min
uteS, the shortest ever made, nearly
two hours shorter than that Of
''Trudie." And that seemed to suffice
for one Summer.
But that did not suffice. Though
the season has virtually ended, so far
as climatic conditions govern, another
record has been made. Georges Michel,
a Frenchman, has just crossed that
now thoroughly defeated stretch of
water in IL hours and minutes, the
lowest time ever made by hour and
3S minutes.
Thus several nationalities partici-
pate in the conquest of the Channel
in this momentous Summer of 1926.
One woman of American birth and
German parentage, one woman of
Danish birth and American adoption,
one German and one Frenchman have
not only made the classic swim, but
have all lowered the record of Tira-
boschi, Italian-Argentinian who swan
1t in 16 hours and 33 minutes. 1t re-
mains now for a British swimmer, at
the eleventh hour, to complete this
extraordinary series of achievements.
perhaps in the lowest time yet made.
Michel's performance just reported
recalls the fact that few years ago

going to breast them, with no ma

the advantage of tides or to combat
them. But when Michel made the
swim it was hailed as a remarkable
performance. He doubtless could do
it now in much less time
SO the swimmers are making his
tory. They are setting new stand
ards. Next Summer will probably see
many aspirants for the lowering of
the Channel record. 1t is probable
that the ordinary navigation of that
stretch of water will be made difficult
by the presence of natators.

Edna Evans, a Rock Springs board
ing house keeper, the inspectors
gave her a, severe quiz. In her de.

inadvertently let slip vital informa.
ton which resulted in her arrest and
the apprehension Of six men charged
with taking part in the crime. One
of the arrested men escorted the in

Lake City, where the loot had been
cached. All but $500 was recovered.

this case, as in many others, proved
the key to the daring robbery. The
woman was unable to stand the bonn
bardment of questions hurled at her
by post Office agents. Many another

solution of a puzzling crime. This
weakness probably lies in the fact
that the feminine mind is unschooled
in concealment of crimes of violence.
Their subterfuges take gentler courses.
1t is, however, a fortunate thing
for organized society, that this is
the case. Otherwise "unsolved"

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Economy.
AS Granddad sits beside the fire
Where brews the homemade licker
His idle fancy seems to rove
Where memories family flicker.
Says he, I'm tir,d Of all this crime
Which law so vainly follers-
I wish we'd get back to the time
When men wore paper collars.
Them was the simple days, I'll say
When life was broad an breezy.
The laundry is the cause today
OF many hours uneasy.
We labored with a sense of pride
And saved our hard-earned dollars.
I wish the dealers would decide
To bring back paper collars.
"a disposition can't be sweet
With all the irritations
OF keeping neck adornment neat
By patient preparations.
I don't pretend to lead the way
Like statesmen or like scholars.
I'm simply wishin' for the day
When men wore paper collars"

Overseas Plane Lands Here.

A touch of local interest was given
yesterday to the proposed New York.
Paris nonstop flight when Capt. Rene
Fonck, noted French war ace, grace.
fully landed the huge Sikorsky trans.
atlantic plane at Boiling Field after a
flight from New York. With Capt.
Fonck, who has been chosen to pilot
the ship on it's epochal voyage a. few
days hence, was Igor Sikorsky, de-
stgner Of the plane, and Lieut.. Allen
Snoddy, U. S. NJ, the navigator and
assistant pilot. Ten others, passen.
gers and crew, made up the personnel
Of the plane for the test flight.
Thus Washingtonians have been
able to view the graceful and modern
plane which may create air history
before the month ends. It's perform.
ances have exceeded the expectations
Of its designers and builders. Though
powered with three engines, 1t is ca
pable Of remaining aloft on only one.
It's speed and lifting capacity have
proved it to be a striking example of
aircraft design.
In Capt. Fonck the ship will have
one of the premier pilots Of the times.
His war record is enviable, and it Is
believed that he is about to write avia.
ton history.
The combination Of a fine ship and
a fine pilot is expected to be the de-
cisive factor in the 3,600-nile fight
SO optimistic are French comrades OF
Capt. Fonck that already plans have
been made for a huge reception at
lie Bourget. So 1t is hoped that the
gallant war ace will arrive on time to
take part In the honor ceremonies
which he will so richly deserve as the
pioneer in New York -to-Paris airplane
fights.

Garbage Collection
System Is Faulty
IT. .ba Edition. ~ Tho c.ar.

To the Editor of The Star:
The new system of garbage collec-
tion, which is being given trial
here, has many disadvantages.
For two weeks we have had filled
and empty wagons parked at our
very door for periods varying from
20 minutes to more than hours.
Sometimes. they are brought up
filled, with tops up. Seepage is left
in their wake, and flies multiply in
the neighborhood.
During this time the odors which
find their way into our homes make
eating almost impossible.
We have repeatedly protested to
the proper authorities for an abate-
ment Of this nuisance, but the cont
dition has not been remedied.
Even the children knYw that in
this case the laws of health and sani-
tation are being violated and that a
combination of garbage and flies
breeds disease.
We would not like to see any neigh
borhood designated as a garbage col
lection station and especially a thick
" settled one like this.
The situation here has convinced
us that there is only one way to
handle garbage-to keep it on the
move until 1t reaches the place where
1t can finally be disposed of.

Lady Astor's Suggestion.

Lady Astor, American born peeress
OF Great Britain and a member Of the
British Parliament, is back home"
on a vacation trip, renewing her
memories of her native land and sur
veyins conditions. After a visit to
ginia she was last evening given a
reception in New York, where she
spoke at length on her impressions
Of America" and her views concerning
present-day problems.
In the course Of her address Lady
Astor stressed the advance made by
women in England and the United
States In the field Of politics during
less than a decade. She made a
strong case for them as Intelligent,
progressive participants in the demo-
pointed TO q record of achievements
Of which she was proud. and which
must elicit the admiration Of all
people.
Perhaps It was merely in a spirit of
blithe persifage. or possibly in Sc
r1ousness, that she interjected a re-
mark that will probably arrest more
definite attention than any OF her
other observations. She said:
The Democratic party Is said to be
looking for a candidate. Why don't
they try a woman for change? l

vice, but it would be amusing if they
would.

Those who love tuneful music, ye
music that has in it more than the
ability to set the feet a-going, are re
joicing these days at the increased es
TEEN in which the comic operas of tht
late Victor Herbert are being held.
Radio broadcasters and others are
finding in his works perfect melodit
gold mine, one from which one may
extract hours upon hours of perfec
tunes, yet so musicianly and scholarly
that the student as well as the man or
the street is enthralled.
Victor Herbert was brother OF
Strauss, the great waltz composer; OF
Mozart, of Haydn, of Schumann and a
host of other great composers who
loved a tune and made no pretense
otherwise.
Some of the so-called "art songs" OF
today, would have made Beethoven
positively i'll. He, too, loved melodies
and crammed his great symphonic:
with them.
The well known fifth symphony is
running over with little tunes thai
begin but never end, Beethoven was
so full of melody. He put into the ia
nous fifth enough melodies to have
made the fortune of any modern fox
trot" tune writer.
In the symphonic method, however
they never end, hardly progress, sim
ply begin, then fade into the major
measures of the broad pattern of the
larger work. The composer had nc
need to make the most of his melody
there were more of them where that
one came from.
X
Victor Herbert had the same
melodic gift, in one way less, in an
other greater. He never initiated anv
one, not even himself. 1t was only
during the last years of his lille that
the melodic we'll even began to run
dry, and those who loved his works
caught him using the same melodlc
pattern over again. But it was his
own, SO why not?
For a long time some musicians
thought it fashionable to sneer al
Herbert as a tune monger and moth
ing else, but today all see what the
discerning saw all along-that Victor
Herbert had in him something of the
quality we call divine.
Divine" is the word we use, for
we know nothing else to call that
which, in any work of art, speaks of
perfection, the inevitable something
that, once created, cannot be changed
without hurt.
Who, having heard the Gypsy
Love Song" from THE Fortune
Teller" would wish a single note
elided? Could the greatest musician
now alive change a note to it's better
ment? We doubt it. Henry Hadley,
we are sure, would not even try 1t.
The same inevitable quality that one
finds in most of the works of Herbert
was what distinguished THE Beauti-
full Blue Danube" and the countless
other musical masterpieces which the
world will not let die.
Since childhood the author of these
lines has felt convinced that Herbert
was among the music immortals;
hence it is naturally pleasing to him
to find that there is scarcely a pro-
gram broadcast on the air now that
does not include at least one number
by Herbert.
The service bands of Washington
for the past two decades have made
a selection from Victor Herbert a part
of almost every program. The leaders
have recognized, what any one with a
feel for music must recognize, that
in Herbert S works lie all the essential
qualities Of greatness.

In other words, Herbert delivers the
lie to the holier-than-thOu musicians

The suggestion made to President
Coolidge by Will II. Hays, head Of
the motion-picture industry, that
section of the Government archives
building be devoted to the preserva-
ton of important films, as an aid to
the study of histOryS by posterity, IS
emphaticaly approved by the press.
The importance of such q step Is
universally recognized, and various
suggestions are made as to how 1t
should be put into execution.
"As matter of caring for the fu-
ture," in the opinion of the San Fran
cisco Bulletin, 'it is even more i'm.
portant for Washington to store good
historic pictures, and pictures that
will have historic value in the course
of time, than it is to store every new
book in the Congressional Library.
For one thing, q film is q picture OF
the place and the people, and not q
more or less distorted reflection of a
writey's impressions; and then. while
there are thousands of public Libraries
and millions of book collectors, there
are not the same facilities for pre-
serving reels. A national film library
such as that proposed is national
obligation to Dosterity."
The Government already has the
nucleus of such q collection 1t is
pointed out by the Philadelphia Eve
ming Bulletin, "in the films that il took
during the war, preserving for future
generations the vivid cinematOgraDhic
record of countless phases Of the
American effort overseas. All the
most conspicuous world figures of the
past two decades have been saved. al
though the earlier prints are scanty
and technically far inferior to the
abundant film records of the men and
women in the public eye at the pres

"Such films will settle many con-

The Logic of an Avenue Site.

Selection Of a Pennsylvania avenue
site for the new Commerce Depart
ment Building will be justified by every
consideration affecting the develop
ment Of the National Capital. The
Government has already in effect PRE-
empted the whole of the great triangle
lying between that Avenue and the
Mall for public building purposes.
placing therein already two such
structures, the Post Office Department
and the District Building, purchasing
for construction uses the five squares
at the western end. on which two de-
pa1tments will be given housing. and
lately selecting sites within the area
for two more Continuation of this
process will within a few years COM
plete the absorption Of the whole space
for public uses, especially If in that
continuation the Commerce Building
Is there located
If the southern side Of Pennsylva-
MIA avenue We're occupied by large and
important, modern and attractive pri-
vate buildings. if the entire remaining
MallAvenue triangle We're devotedFto
business in housings of character to
adorn and dignity the Capitals main
thoroughfare, there would be not only
no occasion for its occupancy; indeed
there would be good reason for letting
1t remain in that condition, and seek.
ing public building sites elsewhere.
But unfortunately the reverse is true.
For many years the dead hand" Of
possible Government taking has lain
over this property. The obvious ap-
propriateness Of it's utilization for pub
lie building sites has strengthened the
expectation that some day that dead
hand" would descend upon all the
space, as it has already fallen upon
sections of it. The consequence has
been that development of the prop.
erty has been checked, virtually sus-
pended. The latest site selections
within the triangle, for the Hall of
Archives and for the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau, are certain further to dis
courage and most effectually to pre-
vent private improvements.
Is it not the duty Of the Govern
ment, having thus in effect prc.elnpted
this property as a whole and used 1t
in part, to proceed as rapidly as pos.
sible to take it and put 1t into the
scheme Of public building sites? Is it
not more especially its duty to go for
ward with the use Of triangle" sites
as long as they remain available
rather than to trespass upon the park
for building uses?
If the triangle were solidly and
handsomely built and used for com.
mercial purposes that have earned
right Of permanency there would be,
perhaps, though not surely, some jus
tification in going into the park for
the placement Of departmental struc-
lures. In other words, if sites were
unavailable elsewhere park sites might
in the placement of necessary new
structures be justifable. But that is
not the case. Fully available sites,
within the space best adapted to the
public service, are not only available,
but demand acceptance in the name
of the Capitals best development.
Every consideration. of public conven-
ience, as we'll as eventual economy.
calls for the immediate use of all the
portions Of the MallAvenue triangle
that remain and that are necessary
for the public buildings shortly to be
erected.
