Good Rooms in
 Paris Rent For
 Less Than in US.

The formidable problem of providing housing for 30,000 members of The American Le- zion who go to Paris, France. in September of 1927 for the ninth annual convention is nearing completion with 20,- 900 rooms now under contract Bowman Elder. National Chairman of the France Con vention Committee announced today Every member of the Legion who goes to Paris will find a clean. comfortable room, waiting for him within fifteen minutes travel from the heart of the city
 The American Legion thru the aid of it's France conven- ton office at12 Rue du fielder, Paris, after months of hard work, has under contract a large number of rooms that conform to high standards and within easy walking distance of the Place de L'0pera, the Madeleine, and close to the Tuilleries shopping section of downtown Paris. Owing to the exchange rates and great num- Der of rooms needed, Legion naires will be able to obtain a room that is very good for the entire week for only S10 to S15 per person. The standards ar quite different abroad than in the United States, when it comes to rooms, Elder said.
 Rooms of this low rate have all been inspected by members of the Paris staff of the France Convention Committee of the Legion and are most comfort able. They are provided with hot and cold water, carpets and are clean. They will not be overcrowded as in some cities where the Legion has held na- tional conventions in the past. Legionnaires going to Paris need not pay as much for their room as in the United States.
 One hotel on the left bank of the Seine river has requested that only welfare workers and members of the clergy be as signed to it. Other hotels have asked that they receive only women and still others want families only. The French government and the Hotel As sociation of Paris have co-op- erated with the Legion in ob- taining suitable lodging for make the Paris trip.

placed by new healthy one. When.
ever any change in street lines is
necessitated the most scrupulous care
should be taken to restore the growths
along the curbs in conditions insuring
their health.
This matter should be taken UP Wig
orously before Congress next session
to insure an adequate fund for tree
requirements and a larger fund for
tree care. All over the city trees are
standing in bad condition that should
have been treated or removed long
ago and in case OF removal replaced
py new ones. The maintenance fund
Juld be profltably doubled.
1t should be the invariable and in
violable rule to plant g. new tree for
every one that has been removed,
whether by reason Of decay or for
some change in curb lines. Failure
to replant is deplorable departure
from the policy that at the beginning
made Washington a place Of joy to all.

The President Takes a Chance.

Political soothsayers may find .
Sign" in the colloquy between Gov
Smith of New York and President
| Coolidge in New York City last eve
| ming, when the governor called upon
| the President and welcomed him to
the city. According to the governors
version he told him to go as far as
he liked, just as long as he wasn't
caught" Whereupon the President re
piled he Thought he would take q
| chance"
Was this a reference to another
nomination for the Presidency, to the
so.caIled third.term question? Was ii
the governors way of suggesting that
there was risk in the Presidents do
ing as he would like? Was Mr.. Cool
idges answer a declaration Of inten-
ton to risk the third-term complica-
ton?
1t has been suggested lately that
somebody might draw out" the Presi.
dent on the subject Of another can
didacy with reference to the so-called
third-term matter, by means perhaps
of an open letter or direct inquiry.
Those who know Mr.. Coolidge are
aware that he is not likely to be
drawn on any subject on which he is
not ready to speak.
In his own good time, if the Presi-
h. Inst las anGst.
ton regarding a possible third term
which would not be a third term In
the traditional sense--he viii undoubt'
edly make his statement in explicit
terms. Or he may conclude that
silence would be tantamount to dec
laration, letting nature take its course.
No indIscreet remark or rejoinder is
likely to disclose his own reaction on
the subject.
III his reply to Gov. Smiths jocose
remark the President has suggested
that he possesses a sporting instinct
somewhat at variance with the gen.
eral conception of his character. 1t
has been said Of him that he never
takes a chance" that he is always
perfectly sure of his ground before
moving AS far as his personal for
tunes are concerned. he has perfect
right TO take a chance whenever he
wishes. But he realizes more keenly
than most of those who seek to an
alyze his purposes that he has a
weighty responsibility for the welfare
Of the 12o,0OO,0Oo American people,
and it is with reference to that re.
sponsibility that he is maintaining
his attitude of reserve on a subject
that is mainly of public and only sec
ondarily Of personal Importance.

extent the shocking condition in the
Police Court of the National Capital.
A new building is needed immediate
n. Because of controversy over the
site of the new structure the work
has not yet begun, although Congress
has authorized such an expenditure.
Commissioner Bell is now at work on
plans to be submitted at the recon.
vening of the legislative body. and
has been assured that hearty support
will be forthcoming.
In the meantime humane measures
should be adopted to meet the dis
graceful conditions which now prevail.
With hot weather nearly here, the
fresh-air order Of the Commissioners
will be doubly appreciated by every
unfortunate who finds himself booked
for appearance in court, and 1t is GER
tainly the least the city can do, until
the new building is erected, to see
that the prisoners have as decent sur
roundings as it is possible to provide
under the circumstances.

Replace All Trees

In the work of widening Fifteenth
street between l street and Massachu.
setts avenue the first step to be taken
is the removal Of the trees. In most
other street widenings the trees that
have been cut down have been soon
afterward replaced with new plant
ings. The superintendent of trees
ami parkings, however, announces
that the appropriations granted him
by Congress are so meager that there
will be no funds available for the re-
pla cement of these trees. The annual
budget is just sufficient for the care
Of the old trees.
THE trees of Washington have been
one of its chief glories in the past 1t
has been, in fact, the 'arbor city" of
America. 1t should not now lose that
distinction. With all the changes en-
tailed by its growth, and especially
by the increase of traffic, there should
be no lesgening OF the number of
urban trees, but indeed an increase.
Every old decrepit Tree should be re.

Trolley Pole Removal.

Removal of center trolley poles on
Georgia avenue is scheduled to begin
on the fifteenth Of May. When this
desirable work is accomplished an
other Of Washingtons much used
highways win take its place as. q thor
oughly modern street. With present
day congested traffic, distractions
such as trolley poles are not to be toll
Grated, and as fast as the task can be
accomplished every pole on every
street in the city should be moved out
Of the way to the sidewalk.
In the old days when a. horse and
buggy was the most used means of
conveyance it made little difference
whether or not there We're poles, un-
lighted excavations, or any other man
ner of obstruction in the streets. Now
that motor cars have taken the place
of the trusty nag and speed Of trans
porration Is correspondence increased,
the streets, OF necessity, must be
cleared Of every impediment to free
running traffic.
Georgia avenue has become one of
the busy streets of the city and al
though well paved and wide 1t has
been unable because Of the center
poles to bear its full share of travel.
Connecticut avenue was in much the
same condition before the poles were
removed, and their removal has great
~ facilitated traffic. The same differ
ence will be noted on Georgia avenue
when this work is completed. Rhode
Island avenue northeast still has its
trolley pole obstructions. Motorists
coming into town from Baltimore gen
orally conduct 3. first-class lodging
contest when they reach this wide
thoroughfare, and these poles should
come down at the first possible mo
ment. There are other streets In
Washington, too, which need this mod
ern treatment OF elimination and no
let-up in effort should take place until
every obstruction is removed.

ITO know the universe itself as a
road, as many roads, as roads for
travelling souls"
The abstract countenances of thou
| sands of persons, both men and wom-
en-, one sees on the streets daily show
beyond peradventure that their own
ers miss seeing most things they look
at. An automobile accident may jar
them out of their Indifference, but
often they miss seeing even that.
Having passed a street several
times, hcnceforth for them 1t exists
only as a convenient way for getting
themselves from one place to, another.
This Is the danger of modernlty, or,
rather, one of the dangers, that 1t
tends to make automatons OF us. we

Many persons commonly called busy,

an,azing how many persons have nc
curiosity whatever.
PERHAPS they have been deferred py

cat" Perhaps some cats have peen
so killed, but most of them get gfeat
deal of fun out of their curiosity.
They go poking along in back yards
looking into garbage cans, peerlng

A man has a right to miss as much

There is no compulsion about 1t.
Yet it behooves those OF us VINO want

what is going on.
There are some people who never

Capitals Share of Flood Relief.

A quota of $4,000 has been as
signed to Washington as its share of
the Red Cross flood relief fund, for
which President Coolidge has appealed
to the country Every dollar of this
amount is needed, and it should all be
supplied, quickly.
In every nationwide collection of
funds for any purpose, especially for
the succor of the afflicted Washington
has always done it's part eagerly and
fully. In every disaster of any kind,
whatever the scope, it has met it's as
signments, and that it will surely now
meet this one to the last dollar, and
meet it promptly. is assured by the
record of the past.
The call goes to the people of Wash
ington from the District Commission
ers, who point out that the appalling
distress of the people of the lower Mis-
sissippi Valley demands immediate re-
lief. The amount allotted to Wash
ington as its quota represents less
than ten cents for every man. woman
and child in the District. Facilities
for the collection of this money will be
provided so that 1t will be easy for all
to give and to be assured that every
penny of the funds donated will
quickly reach the Red Cross for use
in the provision of food, shelter, cloth.
ing and medical assistance to the flood
sufferers.
The Star will receive and transmit
all donations to this fund, making
daily Acknowledgements of all offer
ings. 1t urges that all its readers par
ticipate in this contribution and es-
pecially that they do so quickly.
Washington's quota of $45, 900 should
be subscribed within few hours from
the call. Let there be no lapse from
the Capitals splendid record of mercy

Public, Like Supreme Court,
Divided on Boycott Decision

eral union, in ordering it's members
to refuse to work upon building stone
on job at Denver, produced from
the non-union quarries of the Bed
ford Cut Stone Company of Indiana,
which. with % other concerns pro-
ducing 70 per cent of the cut stone
in the country, raised the court
issue. The Transcript draws the
conclusion: THUS the Sherman law,
designed primarily to curb monopo-
listic corporations, is now found
bearing with equal severity upon the
labor unions. The decision is
crushing one for them, If its doctrine
is to be applied generally throughout
the building or any other trade"
"A labor monopoly is as evil az
any other kind of a monopoly when
it operates to boost prices above their
normal level" observes the PhiIadel-
phia Evening Bulletin, citing the tes-
timony that ''in one operation the
complainant offered a bid of $4,000
on a contract, but was barred by the
prejudice of the defendant union,
with the result that the next bid, sat
isfactory to union conditions, was
S60.000." The Chicago Daily News,
too, upholds the view that IAN order
to national union to undertake such
a boycott IS a clear violation of the
Sherman antitrust law" and adds
that Congress may not have had
precisely such a case in mind, but
courts must apply statutes as they
find them. and cannot read the minds
OF lawmakers"
For the Supreme Court to have
decided the Indiana case other than
it did" in the opinion of the Provi-
dence Journal would have been to
undermine the entire foundation of
our statutes governing monopolies--
a foundation which has been labori-
ously and painstakingly constructed
during the last ~ years. If union
labor is against monopolies of capi-
tai. certainly IL cannot consistently
condemn this verdict affecting its
own fortunes" The Lansing State
Journal believes that the decision
pretty we'll represents the common
sense view of the people of the
United States"

Cell Congestion.

The Commissioners were profoundly
spection of the cellrooms in the Police
Court Building yesterday. They visit.
ed every nook and Granny Of the struc.

iired prisoners huddled together in a
space that would be intolerably crowd
ed If it contained fifty persons. They
found the prisoners in these cells
packed so closely that it was difficult
10 stand upright and the poorly ven
tilated atmosphere charged with foul
ness.
This condition is not new. It has
existed for a good many years. In

situation was brought forcibly to pub
jic attention. Steps have already been
taken for the construction of new

As a result Of what they saw yes

an order that hereafter prisoners will
