Beauty and Parking.

Urging that parking of automobiles
near washington's statues be prohibit
ed, the Commission Of Fine Arts. IN a
letter to Col. U. 8. Grant, Sd, director
of public buildings and public parks,
requests that official to make known
the commissions attitude to the Dis
trict authorities.
With all due respect to the esthetlc
Judgment Of members of the fine arts
body it is unlikely that such move
ment will gain support from the Com
missioners, the residents Of the city
as a whole, or the motorists. ParK'
ing space is now at q premium IN
Washington. With parking banned
between street car platforms and the
curb, at each end Of a block ana In
sundry other places. there should be
no more curtailment Of this privilege
unless the entire city Is swept clean
Of all parked cars.
It would seem far better to allow
motorists to stop near the statues In
the National Capital than to have
them clutter up the fronts Of business
establishments or drive slowly around
in the downtown congested traffic IN
the vain hope of finding places to
park.
The theory that stationary automo'
biles block the view of statues would
seem to be untenable. If a person is
interested enough to make study OF
Washington's many beautiful monu-
ments he can easily get on the inside
of the line Of automobiles and be un-
impeded in a closeup as well as pan.
oramic view.
Near statues, in the parks, and In
all places where the traffic Is light,
parking should not only be allowed
but encouraged. OF course, the time
is not far off when conditions will no
longer allow longtime parking. Until
that time, however, it would seem to
be needless as we'll as harassing to
the motorists to curtail the privileges
that Washington, because Of its wide
streets, is able to give.

Car Numbers and Memories.

The experience Of Senator Arthur
Capper of Kansas with his automobile
that was stolen the other night from
Capitol Hill should warn motorists
generally to make sure that they
know and remember the number of
their license tags. Senator Capper
had forgotten his tag number and
when he came to report the theft of
the car to the police he was unable
to give more than a general descrip-
tion Of the vehicle, which in these
. days Of standardization Of motor
makes did not serve as a vivid identi-
fication. However, the car was re.
covered as the result f good police
work and all is well. but the incident
has it's significance nevertheless.
Memory for numbers is gift, and
not many people possess 1t. There
are some folks who can remember the
telephone numbers Of dozens Of their
! friends and business contacts. Then
again there are others who have hard
work differentiating between their own
phone numbers and their house num-
bers. Taxi drivers tell with JUNCTION
of flares" directing them to drive to
North 6073." and many a phone ex.
change girl has been puzzled by a call
for 1927 Some-Street-o Other.
Motor car numbers run with few
exceptions into five figures. and in
some cases into six figures. Unless
they are Of peculiar arrangement
these numerals are apt to blur In
the mind. Which serves to illustrate
how dificuit II is TO identity the
license tag Of q car that has figured

Turmoil in China Brings Forth
Discussion i'm American Press

China's turmoil and the recent re-
port of the conference of nations on
eXtraterritorial rights in China are
the subject of thoughtful discussion
in the American press.
"There can be no doubt that China
would be far better country in every
respect" observes the Providence
Journal, IF the suggestions Of the
conference could be carried out. A
thorough revision Of the judicial sys-
tenn. reforms in the legislative and
Improvement of the civil and CONNER
cial codes and changes in the penal
system, the bankruptcy laws and the
patent regulations constitute the gist
Of the program which the conference
nations outline as essential to the
progress Of China, on the one hard,
and to the re-establishment of the
faith Of other nations in her, on the
other hand. All Of these recommenda
tions are sound and necessary" But
the Journal is inclined to believe that

fact that it places the whole response.
bility for obtaining the reforms on the
Chinese government, which for 10
years has demonstrated its inability
to handle the situation. It is much like
telling a man that he needs a life-saver
when he is obviously drowning, but
falling to provide him with that indis-
pensable equipment"
AS a sympathetic, helpful and con-
structive" document, the report impels
the Baltimore Sun to remark that eff
the various governments concerned
will now act promptly to carry out it's
recommendations, long step toward
liquidating such anti-foreign senti-
ment as may exist in China will be
taken" From the practical stand
point, the Sun points out that per
haps the most significant part Of the
report Is that which suggests that
abolition of extraterritoriality might
be brought about progressively-firs
in cities and provinces which can DEM
onstrate that their judicial practice is
honest and reasonably efficient; more
slowly in backward areas. In the alb
sence Of any effective central govern
ment in China such q course would
obviously be rational"
"The position of the combined for
eign powers in China" according to
the Lansing State Journal, "is not un-
like our own position in the Philip
pines. We say we are ready to go
when the natives are ready to rule
themselves, but we don't much expect
they ever will be. The report Is. after

It is, indeed, one of the silliest of
actions. And every one knows 1t, TOO,
when it comes to the other fellow, but
he forgets it, readily enough, in times
of personal stress.
Sensitive persons, especially, ought
to beware Of this hurtful action. This
applies both to men and women, for
there are sensitive, easily hurt men
as well as women-in fact, sometimes
one Is inclined to believe that there
are more of the former than of the
latter.
The professions and the businesses
are crowded with eager young gentle
men who are bent on getting on" in
the world, which most of them will
do If their employers have not for
gotten the rules of the game and
everything works out as 1t no doubt
ought to do.
At the same time many of them will
be putting on the brakes to them
selves by divers ill.considered actions,
chief of which will be this thing OF
freezing up" on an acquaintance.
It is a peculiar fact, but true. that
not even the wisest man can tell VINO
will stand him in good stead In this
world. The man we look down upon
today may be the one we Will look up
to tomorrow, and the chap we so
glibly snub tomorrow may be the rei'
low who could help us on our way
rejoicing next year.
Whether he will or not depends
great deal upon the way we treat him
as we go along. OF course, IT IS con
siderably better to be honest and re-
fuse to speak than to become nat

But, honestly, one does not nave
to 60 to such extremes. Common
sense Is a precious virtue as applica-
BILE here as elsewhere. Even in mat
ters of love it ought to have a part.

The silliest part of all this silly
business is that generally the word or
action that gave offense in the first
place actually amounts to nothing.
out of much sensitiveness and one
modicum of genuine offense, one can
easily work up a huge wrong that may
be rolled around so much that 1t
seems justified.
Reduced to it's common denomlna-
tor, however, the wrong IS seen TO
have very little basis in. fact. were

truth compels one to say, it would al
most Immediately disappear. There
was no real basis for it in the first
place and it ought to have been laugh
ed off as one does with any other bad
joke.
No doubt the path Of the sensitive
is unnecessarily hard.
Slightly thick.skinned persons. as
the saying is, are doubtless the best
off in this world Of free comment and
opinion. They do not have to endure
so much because they do not absorb
so much.
If one says a mean or hurtful thing
in their presence, the chances are that
they will not think it to be aimed at
them, or, if that conclusion Is un-
escapable, they will look at the Of
fender in mild wonder, that he could
possibly mean what he said.
This, after all, is the standard way
to handle such situations. The man
who can do it naturally or who can
school himself in it is going to save
himself a lot of trouble and worry.
Above all, he will save all that
energy he might otherwise waste In
working so hard to maintain a state
of silence. Pathetic souls, they work
so hard doing nothing!

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

It is commonly realized that the best
way to meet a joke at ones expense
is to join in the laugh and thus defeat
| the peculiar enjoyment of the perpe'
traitors at the start.
1t is not so generally known. how.
ever, that the best way to meet dis.
agreeable situations of many kinds
| is by exactly the same procedure, in
so far as it Is consistent with decency
| and honor.
Society, so called, has long realized
this, with the saving of much worry
and heartache. through the seemly
| use of innocent subterfuge and white
lies" which hurt no one and help a
| lot, as every one knows.
Take this matter of being offended
| with others.
We have known young gentlemen
to put on hoity-toity airs and stead
fastly refuse to speak to- an acquaint'
! ance simply because he has done
| something to wound their pride.
Now it takes a great deal more en-
ergy to act in this manner than 1t
does simply to forget about the Incl
dent and try to make the best of It.
The strain of consistently refusing
| to speak to an associate Is really con
siderable. One has to think about 1t
| all the time, for in reality it is an
| absurd way to act, and requires more
| concentration than it Is worth.
In the first place, who Is any one
that he should be SO touchy?
Honest, now, who Is any one?
X X X X
This thing of being so touchy that
| one must be handled with gloves
hath a most suspicious look. The big
! hearted Jims of the world are not So
They are carefree. No one can sneer
| at them in any manner whatsoever
| for they feel secure in what they
possess, mentally and physically
They are In no hurry to rush to their
own defense.
If any one pokes fun at them. they
are the first to join in 1t and ad'
NIT it for truth, for all the time they
know 1t Is not the truth, and, above
all, they themselves well know 1t is
| not the truth, so they can afford to
| make fun about it.
The handsome tall chap can very
| well join in a joke at his own ex.
pense if he is called of mean stature
and ugly. "Sure. I'm one of the ug-
| liest fellows in existence" he may
| say, with a satisfied look into the
mirror. Gosh! did you ever see
| such a face!'
So we have the phenomenon of
young society men, when they choose,
going around in soft collars and the
most negligent of neckties, without
any regard whatever to what the
| rest of the world may think.
They don't have to have any.
To be "touchy" instantly reveals
| a sore spot. Yet it is so human an
action that every one does it, now
and then, even when he may have
predetermined that he will not.
Theory is one thing, and practice dis
tinctly another, as the bromide has
! it. One cannot always do as one
| would, even when he mentally curses
himself for being a fool at the same
time he is acting like one.
Shakespeare tells us about the
young lady who concealed her love.
and thereby lost the damask roses
from her cheeks, but concealment
often works out better in other affairs
of everyday life. Why should one
refuse to speak to some one because
that other has in some way touched
sore spot, and at the same time (by
refusing to spealD injure ones OWE
soul?

Moving Toward Building Sites.

The first step in the direction OF the
acquisition of the land generally
known as the Mall-Avenue triangle
for public building purposes was taken
yesterday when Senator Bruce intro
duced a bill providing for the pur-
chase Of the property lying north OF
Pennsylvania avenue between First
and Third streets. This measure Is In
development Of the project to create
a boulevard in extension Of the Cap
itol-Station plaza to be united with the
direct approach to the Lincoln Me-
mortal. 1t will clear away a number
of old buildings that are Of no par
ticular utility and that are a decided
detriment to the aspect Of the city's
principal thoroughfare.
Accompanying this measure will
soon come a bill for the purchase of
all the lands in the triangle to the
west of Third street. to be regarded
and treated as a consolidated building
site. Early action upon both of these
bills Is desirable. The President has
expressed himself in favor Of the prof.
ect, which now has the approval OF
the Public Buildings Commission. the
Commission Of Fine Arts and the Ma
tional City Park and Planning Com
mission. With such an agreement of
authorities there is no reason to ex-
pect delay.
This is great undertaking, but it
can be authorized at the present ses-
sion of Congress If no obstructive
blockade is interposed. The practical
advantage Of consolidated building
area is obvious. The economy Of a
concentration Of the public buildings
within the stretch between the Cap
itol and the White House is apparent.
Congress has already provided for an
expenditure Of $50,000,O 900 in construc-
tions in this city. Adequate sites are
a necessary feature Of this program.
It is the most elementary move Of
good business to provide at once for
the emplacements in order that no
halt should occur in the execution of
the building plans.

son of Mississippi after the meeting
had closed, Gov. Cox asked Senator
Harrison:
did you hear that rascal who
kept demanding how I stood on the
wet and dry issue?"
While Gov. AL Smith Of New York
and Gov. Albert c.. Ritchie of Mary
land are being hailed as the champion
long-distance governors, one having
been elected four times and the other
three to the gubernatorial office. the
friends of Gov. Aram j. Pothier of
Rhode Island are pointing to him
with pride. Gov. Pothier has been
elected governor seven times, not all
In succession, but nevertheless seven
times. He is a Republican, of French
Canadian stock, for he was born in the
province of Quebec 70 years ago. He
has Just been reelected, defeating his
opponent, Mayor Gamer of Providence.
He first became governor In 1908. Like
Gov. AL Smith, Gov. Pothier Is a
Catholic. After serving from 1909 to
and including 1915 as governor, he
desired to retire from public Office and
give his attention to his banking and
manufacturing business. But he was
drafted again and again. when the
Republicans felt they must have him.
