his control the opera tors of privately
owned diplomatic automobiles. In a

The coroner's jury has held her en-.

Yet she cannot be arrested because of

This condition has existed for years

On the part OF the local authorities
1t is hopeless condition. On the part
of the diplomats themselves it In, and
has been, serious breach of decorum.
Those attached to the diplomatic corps
are essentially guests of the Nation,
and should conduct themselves in
such a way that no stigma could be
attached to them.
When in Rome do az the Romans

left-side of the-road driving is the rule
in the particular country from which
the diplomat comes, right-side- of-the-
road driving il the rule in America,
and it should be obeyed to the letter.
The same thing applies TO all other
traffic regulations. They cannot be
fouted by those who shield them
selves with diplomatic immunity"
In the event of failure to bring this
large class of motorists directly under
the control of the official charged with
making the streets safe for the more
than five hundred thousand Washing
tonians, strong representations should
be made to the State Department for
prompt and decisive action in all mat
tiers involving members of the diplo-
matte corps.
Human life cannot be measured in
the terms of diplomatic immunity.
Every motorist on the street should
be compelled to obey the same regula-
lions, and an exempt" class is not
only contrary to good administration,
but makes it impossible to solve salts
factorily the many perplexing ques-
tons relating to traffic. 1t is an I'M
portant matter and should be given
earnest consideration by those charged
with responsibility for the saving OF
life in the automobile traffic OF TO-DAY.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Water melon! Sweet . water
Melon
The musical cry of the huckster
recalled to our mind, so late in the
season, that we had not tasted water
melon this year.
Yet did we run to the door, call to
the man, purchase a nice, sweet speci-
men?
We did not.
We had allowed the watermelon
season to come and go. without eating
yet what difference did it make?
What difference does it make?
Peaches, now, are another fruit. To
go through the Summer without eat
ing peaches would be a distinct loss.
There is no taste in the world like that
of the real peach.
The watermelon. he it ever so sweet,
is mostly water, after all. 1t is, in
essence, delicacy of childhood. Surely
the day will never come again when
a melon will taste so good.
Those who have been fortunate
enough to have committed trespass in
this matter. perhaps to have been run
out of a patch by righteously indig-
nant farmer, will know this to be true.
Watermelon is something that one
may very well do without, allowing its
flavor to remain in the past with other.

We eat too much, anyway. Not
just we, but everybody. Perhaps there
is no more inclusive charge that can

We eat too much.
National prosperity has made 1t pos
sible for us to indulge our appetites,
with the result that the average per-
son eats twice or three times what he
needs for existence.
There Is no other reason for eating.
To eat for taste is intellectually
wrong, although 1t is intensely hui
man. Even the animals enjoy the
taste of their food, and no doubt eat
more than is good for them, If they
can get it.
What saves them from expanding
waist lines, if an animal may be said
to have such a thing, is simply that
they cannot get it.
Children, being essentially little ami
mails, hardly fall into our classical
ton of creatures that ordinarily eat
too much.
A small boy can absorb more nour-
ishment with gain than he usually
can be prevailed upon to take.
We leave the little ones out Of our
reckoning. We speak Of city men
and women who eat enough for farm
hands, yet scarcely walk as much as

Starch and sugar seem to be the

Shoot to KILL"

The Post Office Department has
again declared war on the underworld.
Shoot to kill" is the command that
has been sent out to the army of
twenty-five thousand railway mail
clerks. In issuing this ultimatum to
the criminal class the department has
made it plain that if it's heavily armed
agents cannot defend the mails other
steps will be taken which will enforce
the edict Of death to the bandits"'
Fourteen major robberies in the
year ending June 80 have stirred the
department as it has not been stirred
since the days of 1921, when the
marines were called in to protect the
mails against the onslaughts of the
criminal bands. Nothing will be left
undone in this present crisis to insure
safe delivery of the valuable postal
matter.
A personal reward of $500 has been
made by the second assistant post
master general to the first railway
clerk who kills a bandit attempting to
rob the mails. A reward has also been
offered to the first clerk who captures
any one attempting to hold up a car.
These prizes are designed to furnish
a further incentive for vigilance in
day and night protection.
1t is evident that the department in
tends to do everything in it's power
to safeguard the mails intrusted to it's
care. Following the robbery near Chi
cago recently hurried council of war
was called by Postmaster General
New. The "shoot to killr order was
the result of this conference.
With the loyal body of clerks on the
alert for attempted banditry and the
underworld cogniZant of the steps
that have been taken, conditions
should show rapid improvement. From
now on it will take a we'll organized
and brave gang" to rob successfully
the United States mail.

We have never taken seriously the
assurance of the Declaration of indie
pendence that among our unalienable
rights are life, liberty and the pursuit
Of happiness.
Life, We throw it away with prodi
gal hand. When the death rate Of
children between birth and l year NJ
age is brought down to 40 per I 900 in
one community and Is allowed TO reach
the appalling total Of 245 per 900 in

participating in the slaughter Of the
innocents by falling to provide essen

The ignorant savage governed his
sanitary arrangements in such a way
that he secured pure water. Al more

but a short distance from the place
where sewage is poured into It.. The
Indian did not die of typhoid nor did
the Eskimo have decayed teeth until
our great civilization reached them
and they learned the easiest way to
live-and to die.
Not only do we disregard life. but
we do not pay much attention to lib

The Speedboat Regatta.

An urgent appeal for funds is being
made to Washingtonian ms by the Presl-
dents cup Regatta Committee in
order to carry to successful conciu-
sion one of the greatest speedboat
resattas ever held in this country.
Two afternoons, next Friday and
Saturday. will be devoted to the racing
of the fastest boats in the world. The
events will be held on the Potomac
off the Speedway and Hams Point
and will he so arranged that a crowd
of upward OF one hundred thousand
persons can comfortably view them
from the shore and from boats. This
is the first ma jor regatta Of It's kind
to come to the National Capital and
has been sponsored by the Corinthian
Yacht Club.
Originally the meet was to be held
on one day only, with entries limited
to Gold Cup boats. A fund of more
than five thouSa nd dollars was sub
scribed by Washingtonians to pur-
chase the Presidents Cup for the
winner and for expenses incidental to
the regatta. AS news of the event
spread to other cities, however. entries
were received from racing enthusiasts
for boats of other classes. 1t was then
decided to enlarge the regatta and
hold two-day affair 1t is for this
expansion that additional funds are
needed
Seven distinct races will be held on
the two afternoons. Sportsmen from
Florida. New York, Detroit and
France have entered their slim craft.
Gar Wood. famous Detroit enthusiast,
has announced that he will send Miss
America V over a specially clicked
mile stra i2htaway in an effort to
break her own worlds record of
eighty-one miles an hour. Other
events will be equally exciting and
Washington, for the first time in its
history, will he treated to speedboat
regatta.
There are few persons who do not
get tnfAl from watching mica
minute boat cut through the waters
Twin spray squirting, bow uplifted.
life elted pilot and mechanic and the
roar of powerful motors combine to
make motor-hoat racing a breath-tak-
ing spectacle
Washingtonians with this treat in
store for them, should rally to the
support Of the regatta committee. 1t
is purely a civic and sporting enter
prise. There is no profit in it for
any one. cups are awarded the win
ners and all entries bring their boats
here at their own expense.
Washington has no municipal treas
ury to call upon to make up the
deficit. 1t is therefore solely up to
the residents themselves to lend their
hearty support to make the coming
event outstanding in the history of
motor boat racing. Washingtonian
have never failed to aid when the
need was great and they will not fail
To "put over" this stirring sporting
event.

, far as we can find out, seems to be
that Of making up, in the daily diet
for the deteriorating effects Of toe
much starch and too much sugar.
Both starch and sugar are neces
sary to the human frame ana us
proper maintenance. The trouble
seems to be that we consume larger
quantities of these sterling good ne
cessities than by right we ought to.
Each person is a law unto hlmsell
in this matter.
Your average medical practitioner
has not much aid to give you in the
matter. He may have read OF the
researches of McCullom and Chitten-
den and others in food chemistry, nut
when it comes to prescribing diet Tor
you, if you are i'll (other than diabetlc),
he perhaps will not limit you in any
material way. The treatment or dla-
betes Is wound up so Fundamentally
with food science that even the most
backward M. d. has to know some
thing about it to handle this disease.
Yet any observing person can prac-
tically prove to himself that some or
his illnesses are caused by too much
sugar in his diet, for instance. 1t must
be remembered that he will not be
able to make a positive proof, because
an; but he will feel pretty well con-

Take colds, for instance.
Modern medical science Is making
lamentably little Roadway fighting the
respiratory diseases. Washington Is
today full of Fall colds; you see and
hear people sneezing their heads off
on street cars, busses and on the
streets. There is much treating of
colds, but little prevention. The best
treatment seems that Of old Doc Ma
ture, whom you may aid by getting
into bed and staying there, so that all
the natural forces are given over to
resistance and building up.
We have several friends who have
INDUCED in the chlorine gas treatme Mt
for colds, and have been told by them
all that they got little, if any, benefit
from the process. A good sweat, a
laxative and staying in bed seem to
be the best practical treatment, after
all.
What do these do?
Thew eliminate something from the
systeits What? Well, every one will
have his answer, but we unheSUat1nR
ly declare that in our case 1t is the
effects of too much sugar consump-
ton.
Just as sure as we go on a candy
spree eating homemade fudge every
day. of which we are very fond, we
will end up with cold. This has
happened so many times that we
ought to know better than to eat 1t.
We eat it, however, and get our
cold. Then, for several days, we are
forced to lie in bed, sweating the
sugar out of us.
This may not be a very scientific
way to phrase it. but it adequately
describes the way the process seems
to us. Sugar cakes or other delicacies
have much the same effect. NJ
doubt the sugar content does not, in
the exact sense, cause the cold. Prob
ably it simply puts the system in such
a state. say acid blood, or something
along that line, as to make 1t easily
susceptible to temperature changes.
So, we say, we are rather glad we
haven't eaten any watermelon this
year!

Climbing the Monument.

Tourists in Washington visit ''the
Monument" as one of the great and
surely one Of the tall attractions of
the city. The record shows that
- 1929 persons went to the top of
the Monument in August. That is
said to he the largest number of
Monument climbers in any month.
on one Sunday. while the Monument
was open to visitors for four hours,
1920 persons went to the top, and
OF those 1901. nearly half. climbed
the stair because the elevator could
not carry all those who would be
passengers. A crowd was waiting al
the base for a trip to the summit
when the entrance to the shaft was
closed. Perhaps there are figures to

The view of Washington from the
top Of the Monument or the top of
the Capitol is as wide as can be
had from any position except in

city can be seen at a glance, or it can
be examined at leisure. On a clear day
no more satisfactory prospect can be
had in the Washington region. The
CITY. it's environs. the rivers and the
lofty ridges are under the eye. and
when visibility is unusually high the
mountains show In the west.

from the States who understa nd that
a trip to the top of the Monument or
the Capitol is an experience. 1t is be-
lieved that not many Washington
reside nj make either of those as
cents, they see the Monument and
dome many times a day, and why
go to the top? They think it a tire
some trip and believe that they would
see nothing they have not seen be-
fore. Relatively few Washington peo-
pie have seen the city from the air.
Without urging ones opinion on any
body else. it may be gently suggested
that the Washingtonian who has not
overlooked his city from the Monu-
ment or the dome has missed an al
most matchless view.

Fishless Fishing.
It's good to go a-fshing
Where the waters lightly CLEAN,
AS you listen to the swishin'

There's nothin' to remind you
OF life's disappointed wish.
You can leave your cares behind you
Even if you. catch no fish.
It's good to go acfishin'
Where there's nothin' to intrude,
Disturbin' the condition

Though you face an empty dish,
You have had a. chance for thinkin'
