OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
(Frozn National Editorial Assoeiation)
Especial to Chronicle)


Washington, July 27-Not even
the intense heat and breath-taking
humidity which is characteristic Of
a summer in Washington can dull
the interest in men and affairs here.
Things are not as swift or important
as at other seasons. Yet it you were
to write home an intimate story Of
events and the man and women who
participate, the folks would give the
account more than passing glance,
for there is unquestionably CLAM
our about things done and said in the
whispering gallery of the Nation"
You would learn, for instance,
that letters addressed to those in
various walks of political life invar-
iably carry this query "Wiil Cool
ilge run again?" You will receive
varied information hopelessly lack
ing in definiteness for even our self
styled prognosticators (and the town
abounds with their ilk) are without
facts and have only fancy upon
which to build a surmise. The best
that political prophets can do is to
study the President and his methods
because his utterances up to this
period have afforded slight, if any,
clues as to what he really has in
mind.
They will tell you, too, that party.
leaders are not at all pleased with
the pictorial publicity given Mr..
Coolidge in South Dakota. Many
loyal party men deplore the nation
wide distribution of photographs
showing the Chief Executive in wild
west costumes, especially when he
dons elaborate cowboy costumes and
is obviously ill at ease.
1t is argued here that when mil
lions of newspaper readers and
those who watch the news pictorials
on the screen laugh at the Presi-
dents appearance in garments that
smack of dime novel days, then po-
litical shoals are ahead. The theory
is that great men lose somewhat OF
their greatness when they come too
near us and are subjects Of jests.
On the other hand, it is said that
the criticism of Senator LaFollette
as voiced in the daily press recently
has relieved the situation for it has
served as a rally cry to those who
did not approve the "bally-hoo" pub
licity methods of which the Presi-
dent was the central figure. 1t is the
old story that differences of opinion
within the family are forgotten when
outsiders intervene.
That Washington is dead POLITICAL
ly may be easily ilisproved. The per-
ennial candidate for the Democratic
nomination, Mr.. William Gibbs Nc
Adoo has established law Offices
here, which of course may eventual
ly serve as clearing house of DEM
ocratic political thought. RepubJi-
cans having the Presidential bee in
the bonnet come to Washington in
an endeavor to find a place on page
one of the daily press. 1t is never
too early to make deals within the
party with a view to the presidential
convention next year. Several well
known Republicans are not a bit
backward in letting it be known that
they would be receptive to the nomi-
nation for Vice-President assuming
that Mr.. Coolidge would remain in
the arena.
Though Senator Reed Smoot of
Utah, one of the powerful figures in

PERHAPS day viii come when the ideas
for two-piece sport frocks have been all
used up. And what smart women will do
then, poor things, is impossible to think.
Meanwhile the supply continues merrilyp
growing smarter every season, as wit
messed by the new design seen here. This
style is splendid either for actual sports
or for general daytime wear, and is very
good made with crepe de Chine skirt
lHd harmonizing blouse Of very fine soft
jersey or angora, trimmed with the silk
a combination that is now featured In
Paris by Worth. The cardigan effect Of
the neck-band is very smart as are the
plaits at the left side of the straight skirt.
The belt running under the pocket tabs is
an interesting feature. (CopyisAt, 1851

A POPULAR BULLETIN

The Department of Agriculture
has issued a bulletin which will be
we'll received throughout the coun-
try and enthusiastically commended
by our farmers. Briefly, it gives rea-
sons. which, for all that we know,
may be true, why so many of us are
so addicted to ham and eggs or eggs
and sausage, as we are; why we
take so naturally to that combination
of edibles and find it so toothsome
and sufficing. The scientific eXplana-
ton of this preference is, as we are
told, that the hen is conspicuously
successful as a manufacturer or is
olator of vitamin A, which we need
in the business of living; whereas
the porker has all other known
mammals beaten and left at the
quarter post in quantity production
of vitamin B. But, however that may
be, the Department is making sur
er bid for approval in giving us rea-
sons for doing what we like to do
than in exhorting us, as it oftener
does, to fight our natural appetites
and lifelong habits. We may upon
occasion be over persuaded to eat a
modicum of spinach or pumpkin Jel-
lv or something else urged on us by
q bulletin. But we eat it without gus
to. with long teeth" as the phrase
is. on the theory that it may be bet
ter for us than it tastes. We, or some
of us, eat it doubtingly and none too
sure that the Department dieticians
eat it themselves or know more
about our nutritive requirements
than old Dame Nature does.
Thus, as it may be, some dim in
stinct that ham and eggs were what
we needed and filled felt, if unrec-
ognized systemic want, may have
made those vitalizing foods consum-
ed together so palatable and popular
as they are. The bulletin does not
suggest that either vitamin was con-
sciously synthesized to meet hui
man need or trade demand; nor
does it hint how the hen and the hog
became so efficient in their produc-
tion. But Nature is far-sighted and
does no end of things for reasons we
are slow to find out; and it may be
noted for what it is worth that this
bird and this beast have the biggest
families of any domesticated crea-
lures, and that to endow their num-
erous progeny properly they had to
manufacture vitamins enough to go
around.
But this bulletin will be accepted
as of value. For when a reputed
scientist-or for that matter an herb
doctor, quack or any one else
assures us that the thing we want to
do or eat or drink is the best thing
for us, we are prone to attach impor-
tance to his dicturn out of proper
ton to his professional standing, and
to conclude that in that respect at
least his mind is eminently clear.

ADVERTISING

Advertising and no competition is
now the life of trade, according to
the advertising experts who met In
Denver to attend the international
Advertising Association convention.
The delegates at this meeting heard
a number of interesting things.
Among these was the statement by
Charles Stelzle, New York expert, to
the effect that if churches do not ad-
yertise their "ware"-spiritual up
building and moral betterment for
both the individual and humanity
they cannot hope to arouse interest
among the masses and fulfill the OBJ
legations placed upon them as par
ties to the general spiritual move
ment.
Another speaker declared that lad
vertising is greater than any single
moral force we know of today. Ad-
vertising brings about changes for
the betterment of life itself, changes
which fuse into the social and polit-
ical life of the nation"
1t is now generally admitted by
economic forces everywhere that ad-
vertising is the most important oe-
velopment of modern business. And
it is also coming to be realized that
newspaper advertising is the best
kind of paid publicity. In the conven-
ton Just mentioned the delegates,
who were advertising experts, agreed
that newspaper advertising affords
the best publicity medium for the
churches and all church activities.
Advertising is no longer theory.
It is a science. And it pays.
RAILROAD FREIGHT TRAFFIC
has been heavier this year than last,
but official figures show that passen-
ger travel on the railroads steadily
decline. In the entire country rail-
way passenger earnings declined
from 1929, 100000 in 1925 to $S14,-
$4,000 in 1926. Most of the losses
are shown to have been in the day
coach business, but the receipts
from sleeping cars dropped off last
s,a
Railroad authorities predict a falling
off in passenger receipts for the year
1927 of approximately $50,000,0OO.

a summerless summer can now get

PERHAPS II IS DESIRABLE
that insurance companies are re-
quired to make statements annually
to each one of the states, revealing
details of operation, underwriting
and investment income, expenses
and losses paid and incurred, profit,
with minuteness of itemized par
ticularity such as probably no other
business or occupation is called upon
to render or reveal. Certainly there
can be no trade secrets" in fire in
surance. Perhaps also, but not sure
ly, it is expedient and in behalf of
the public interest that supervision
of the fire insurance business by the
states should extend so far beyond
the policy of other countries in this
respect.
These presumptions may be admit
ted, however, without impairing the
force of the assertion that the varie-
ty and diversity of valued-policy,
anti-coinsurance, anti-compact and
-this-and-that laws
statutes forbidding agreements on
rates, and others Frequently in the
same state, strange as it may seem)
practically forcing all insurers into
single bureau or association COM
mitted to rigidly uniform conduct
and operation, do constitute obtru-
sions of state control which hinder
rather than promote the rendering
of the fullest service.
The desirability of more nearly
uniform legislative and administra-
tive regulation of the fire insurance
business has been repeatedly assert
ed by state officials, whose observa-
tion and experience have led them to
perceive and remark thereupon.
Besides being regulated to death,
fire insurance is taxed for every
thing under the sun. A very small
portion of state taxes paid by these
companies goes for the purpose Ct
maintaining fire insurance depart
ments. 1t almost seems that every
time the state needs money for any
purpose, a new tax is levied against
fire insurance premiums, and the in
sured property owners pay this
through increased rates.

DISCUSS CHANGES IN PLAYING RULES
Football Officials Gather in An-
 nual Conference in New York

New York. Doc. 2S (UP)tFoot- ball officials. who suffered so much abuse during tho 1927 season, gath cred today at the Hotel Astor to speak on their own behalf.
 There was q time when the men ! in white kniCkers who ofticiated at i the leading gridiron games were paid scah'y attention by the partisan , throng> gathered on respective sides oi the chalk-lined playing field.
 This year, however, changes in the playing rules brought about an un- , pr"ced"ntcd number Of situations in which tn" rulings of the officials had a most important bearing upon the result O. the game.
 There was tho .,sc Of the Notre | i'am"- southern California intorscc- jIonal game. for instance. in which Inc decision Of an umpire roga r}inr q iumhl" behind the Irish goal 1inc decided the contest in favor Of the south Bend eleven and led To pro- tests from the Troians which have not yet died away
 Members Of the Football Officials association, who opened thcir an- nuaI session her" this morning. | blamed th" complications of the new rules for their difficulties.
 Football, from a game once dc rtd"d obviously upon the merits Of the respective contestants. has come 10 be game where delicate de- oision may ho left up to some nor ploXed official.
 Take tho case Of the difference be- tween tumble and a huff. for which the 1927 rules provides. A huff by a uart"rback receiving a punt occurs when inc rocci,cr never actually obtains possession of lh" ball. 4 tumble occurs when hc first posse ssos and then drops il.
 Obviously this requires. on oc- casionS, har-lino decisions by the official responsible and whatever is decided. players, spectators and oc- caSionalIy other officials. are disSat- isti"d.
 The question of timing tn" hud- dlo th" shift and unnecessary delay also troubles many of the football officials who gathered at the Hotel As'or today.
 Tom Tho.ps. Walter Eckcrsall. Dave Schultz and other well known officials whose services aro in de mand for the leading games. were unanimous in expressing he opinion that the game has become too com plicatcd from the officials point Of view and that too much respons- hilitv Is placed upon the arhitors.
 The officials will recommend 10 the rules committe". which meets here tomorrow, that tho rules be eimpliHod.
 In on" sense. they will have thc entire support of the Football Coaches association which also meets here the following day. The coaches, naturally. are not worried about the difficulties Of the officials. but feel that the new rules have mad" tn" gridiron game complicated to q point where if is difficult 10 teach il thoroughly to boys of col lego az" in tEa given tim".
