Plants Build Crystal
Houses to Admit Rays
BY E. e. FREE, PHI. ID.

~ lie 1xs n AeASA1t - AAs A<s
Tiny plants which live inside self
made glass houses, protective yet able
to admit the rays of sunlight which
the plantlets need, were described by
DR.. Marshall A. Howe. assistant direc-
tor of the New York Botanical Garden
In a recent illustrated talk on these
worldwide and plentiful creatures
technically called diotoms.
In parts Of the Antarctic Ocean. to be
explored by the expedition of Comdr
Byrd, these diatoms are so numerous,
Dr. Howe said, that their tiny houses,
which sink to the bottom of the ocean
when their owners die, are forming a
thick bed on the ocean bottom over an
area more than a half million square
miles.
The glass houses" CT tie diatoms are
not made of ordinary glass, but of
something better; for they are COM
posed of silica or quartz, the same
material which engineers of the General
Electric Co. have melted in an electric
furnace to make rods and lenses and
window paneS which transmit the
health-giving ultraviolet rays Of sun
light. Even a small window with panes
of this transparent quartz costs hun
dreds of dollars. To build house OF
it would be beyond the resources OF
all except the richest millionaires. Yet
the tiny, microscopic diatoms, living
by unaccountable billions in every cubic
yard of the Antarctic water, possess the
secret of extracting some OF the quartz

and making the ray-transparent quartz

acquire it soon, private interests will.
The site Is most attractive one and
private interests, which have the means
to acquire it, realize this as well as the
District authorities, who are without
the means.
In this connection it is interesting
to recall the long -drawn-out procedure
which finally gave to the District its
present Municipal Building. When the
short-lived territorial form of govern
ment for the District came into being
in 1871 the Offices of the old Corpora
ton of the City of washington were
housed in City Hall at the north end
of Four -and-a-half street These offices
were abandoned by the governor and
Board of Public Works, who rented a
building at Seventeenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue. Congress paid
for its share of the old City Hall and
took it over for Government purposes.
But the Board of Public Works used the
money received from the sale to pay
off debts, instead of to buy a new site
for a municipal building. It was not
until 1892, when the commission form
of government had come into existence,
that the Commissioners began agita-
tion for a municipal building. And ten
years passed before Congress appropri-
ated money to buy the site. The pres
ent building, financed jointly by the
District and Uncle Sam, was not COM
pleted until 1903. 1t required the Dis
trict thirty-seven years to obtain a
new home, after leaving its old quarters.
To prevent history from repeating it
self, the Commissioners and Congress
should begin work Immediately on the
new home eventually to be required.
The first thing needed is the land.

A Proper Violent Rebuke.

The probability is that every Chris
tian cherishes in his inner conscious
ness some definite mental image of his
Creator. Usually such was gained dur
ing infancy A small boy imagines God
as resembling, perhaps, George Wash
ington, or the charioteer of the sun in
Guido Reni's Aurora" or, If biblical
pictures be vividly in mind, perhaps the
hirsute Moses or Abraham. 1t makes
little difference. Few men are at all
able to conceive of a formless spirit
Such must needs take the form Of a
definite image, and for this there Is the
authority Of Holy Writ. which tells that
God made man in His own likeness.
Some of the conceptions of God, when
strictly analyzed. may be funny, but
there is nothing funny whatever In
having them. It is perfectly natural
thing. When 1t comes to the representa-
tion on the stage of the Deity by man,
and not only man, but one clad In
golfing outfit, with knickerbockers, the
mind and soul of every decent human
being, Christian or non-C Christian, will
revolt, and that is exactly what hap
pened recently in Frankfurt-am-Main,
in the German Republic.
Not only was God depicted on the
stage of It's municipal theater, but He
appeared in a comedy entitled Mar
riages Are Made in Heaven" The Ger
mans are a curious mixture of radical
ism and extreme conservatism, and on
this occasion the latter quality. based
on their innate reverence, came prompt
ly and violently to the fore. A bonn
bardment Of gas and tear bombs met
the actors who were interpreting the
pratings of a playwright so lost to all
sense of respect, decency and tradition
that he dared portray his Creator as a
character in comedy clad in sports
clothes. Not that sports clothes. per Sc,
are wrong: any man in any clothes, in
cluding full evening dress or Old Testa-
ment robes, is out of place in such q
role. The company finished the play to
an empty house. It would have been the
better for all concerned had its authors
head been as empty.

The st. Louis Post Dispatch.

Last Sunday, December 9, the st.
Louis. Post-Dispatch celebrated its
dftieth anniversary. An extraordinary
edition was published. Its 232 pages
included not only the regular Sunday
news and features, but numerous spe-
cial sections significant of the occasion.
1t is doubtful If any single issue of a
newspaper ever more compellingly DEM
onstrated the possibilities of modern
journalism in beautiful topographic
and pictorial display. 1t is equally
doubtful If ever before one edition of a
daily paper could boast of comparable
list Of contributors.
The story of the fifty years which
have passed since Joseph Pulitzer, then
a lad in his early twenties, founded In
1873 the paper which today stands as
perhaps the finest monument to his
genius is fascinatingly told in the an
niversary edition. The worlds leading
philosophers and scientists are repre-
sented in a symposium of articles an
aIyzing the advance Of mankind in the
half century involved and predicting
the drift of civilization for the future
Yet no more inspiring chapter in the
whole can be found than that which
deals with MIR. Pulitzer's life itself, tell
ing the amazing story of the vision and
fight which made him one of the domi-
nant factors in American journalism
and politics.
In connection with this chapter the
Post-Dispatch prints the words Of Mr.
Pulitzer, written at the time OF his re-

Pan.America's Onportunity.

The Pan-American Conference on
Arbitration and Cancellation now in
session at Washington is marking time
as far as its set program is concerned,
pending adjudication Of the Bolivian
Paraguayan boundary controversy. But
It is not losing time. On the contrary.
1t has suddenly been presented with a
golden opportunity for constructive
service. That opportunity lies in the
direction of converting pan-American-
ism from an academic theory into
concrete thing of flesh and blood. II
the conferences good Offices result in
averting threatened war in South
America the conclave of the Americas
will have justified itself a thousand
fold.
When the news of the recrudescence
of the century-old frontier squabble be-
tween Bolivia and Paraguay burst upon
the conference there were natural in
clinations to consider it an event of i'll
omen. It seemed to indicate the fu-
tility of trying to lay any practical
foundations for that peace among the
American republics, which the present
meeting essays to do. But pessimism
speedily took wings as the statesmen OF
the Latin nations and of the United
States realized that, far from compro-
missing their purpose at Washington,
Bolivia and Paraguay had, in fact.
placed before the conference a real
chance to show what pan-Americanism,
acting promptly and in unison. is capa-
ble of achieving.
1t is inconceivable that the effort to
bring the Bolivian-Paraguayan con-
troversy to an amicable conclusion can
fail. It can and must succeed. When
ways and means are evolved to that
end a new. epoch in inter-American
relations will have dawned. The league
of Western republican states, each
sovereign and independent, viii have
filled an outside world with envy OF
system, loose -jointed and uncovenanted,
yet potent in the face Of grave emer-
gency of functioning quickly and fruit
fully.
Once it was thought that out Of the
deliberations at the Pan-American Pal
ace this month mere pleasantries and
perhaps some platonic new link in the
chain of international peace might
emerge. The dramatically unexpected
has happened. Two relatively unim-
portant Latin states have made 1t pos
sible to establish precedent Of far
reaching implications for the whole
pan-American future. Even in interna-
tional relations blessings sometimes
come in disguise.

no difference in its cardinal principles:
that it will always fight for progress
and reform, never tolerate injustice or
corruption, always fight demagogues of
all parties, never belong to any party
always oppose privileged classes and
public plunderers, never lack sympathy
with the poor, always remain devoted to
the public welfare, never be satisfied
with merely printing news. always be
drastically independent, never be afraid
to attack wrong, whether by predatory
piutocracy or predatory poverty"
These words of It's founder the Post
Dispatch has adopted as the platform
upon which it today stands. Its sue
cess as one Of the leading dailies of
the Nation is directly attributable to the
faithfulness with which it has carried
forward those principles. That that
success will be long continued will be
the heartfelt wish of all who admire
and respect courage. integrity, sincerity
and fidelity to that heavy trust which
the Nation places upon its decent news

Americana.

The British are becoming more inter-
ested and better acquainted with affairs
in this country. The Graphic, dean Of
British pictorial weeklies, whose pro-
fusely illustrated leaves have brought
pleasure and information to citizens Of
the empire for many decades. now de-
votes full page, entitled Americana" >"
to events and personalities in the United
states. It always did pay plenty OF at
tention to the Dominion of Canada.
The subjects included on this special
page are not always wisely chosen, but
then few American publications enjoy
special distinction for that. There is a
GOOD deal of emphasis on Hollywood,
on gunmen, on characters like Billy
Sunday, described for the edification OF
John Bull as a Hot Gospeller." But
some of the photographs reproduced are
splendid, illustrative Of the best and the
, most interesting in American life and,
taking it all by and large, this feature
Is calculated to do great good.
If one glances into Graphics issued
during the last four decades Of the past
century one gets from its pen-and-ink
sketches the impression that, SO far as
Britannia was concerned, the United
States was non-existent except when
something outrageous happened over
here or when some sprig of royalty
condescended to, land on our shores
and shoot a buffalo, catch fish OF
dance with a debutante. The movies
have happily accomplished great deal
toward informing subjects of the United
Kingdom of what is going on in its one
time colony. The British Empire is far
flung; to cover it thoroughly pictorially
is a great task, and qualification should
be felt that the staid old Graphic de.

| ONCE boys are rather startling ex-
amples of the general tendencies OF the
human race.
Aside from their usefulness In the
business world, office boys seem sent by
Heaven to allow man to see himself as
others see him.
Take the habit of your average boy
to shine UP to some particular one OF
his superior officers.
Such a youth will see to 1t that his
idols desk is straightened up, his chair
kept busted and his pens in order.
One might think he would attempt to
initiate the good qualities of his human
god.
But will he?
The sad truth is that he seldom does.
In this he is exactly like mankind, ever
selecting some one for adulation, but
forever failing to receive any good les
sons from him.
The Office boy may initiate his supe-
rior in the matter of his hat style, but
probably will not take to heart in the
least the big mans" many good moral
qualities.
Take a certain gangling youth who
went out of his way to tidy up the be-
longings of his favorite.
He couldn't have picked a better
model, but unfortunately he did not
take any lessons from the daily conduct
OF the man In question.
Whereas this worker was man OF
ultra-quiet disposition, given to mind
ing his own business and expecting
others to mind theirs, the Office boy was
an off1cious young gentleman who poked
his nose into everything.
His model invariably had a cheerV
greeting for every one. but the boy
spoke harShly or not at all.
The model, having fulfilled polite re-
quirements, was not free with his speech
after that, but the office boy talked all
the time whether he was expected to or
not.
Thus the model plainly displayed
three very fine characteristics:
He was quiet, he was pleasant, but
never loquacious.
AS far as recorded history goes, the
boy never learned from the man in
these respects.
He could see, as we'll as every one
else, that his ideal was a quiet man.
Yet ne. the boy, never toned down in
the slightest
He could see, as every one could, that
his idol was invariably pleasant to
every one he met The boy, however,
either was not able to grasp this ideal
of conduct or could not apply it, If he
did.
The man had solved the problem of
getting along with people" by having
as little to do with them as possible
This, OF course, in large sense. He
was too busy to fritter his time away in
idle gossip. He knew that much talk
is fruitless. So he manifested a laud-
able paucity of words.
Now, the Office boy undoubtedly noted
this trait of the man, but it rolled off
him as water off cats back. He al
ways had something to say, and never
failed to say it, either

Controlling Appearance.

Regarded two years ago merely as an
interesting idea, but embodying prin-
ciple far too radical for the times, the
proposal to control architectural ap-
pearance of buildings adjacent to OF
fronting on Government-owned prop
erty In Washington is being viewed
with increasing favor. 1t has received
the Endorsement of agencies working
for more beautiful Capital, the latest
coming from the Committee of One
Hundred on the Federal City of the
American Civic Association. The meas
ure now before Congress, sponsored by
Senator Shipstead, is believed to have a
fair chance OF being passed at the short
session of Congress; if not, its passage
by the next Congress is looked upon as
assured. While the bill is generally
approved in principle, there are some
objections to the wording easily met by
minor revisions.
The principle of control of architec-
tural appearance is rather drastic
extension of the principle of coming, as
now recognized. Unless there is care
in launching the experiment here in
Washington, it may suffer d quick and
decisive defeat. And those interested in
making the local experiment. which will
be. regarded with extraordinary interest
in other cities, are determined to pro-
ceed with caution. They do not wish
to stress the idea of regulation so much
as to emphasize the protection that such
a measure would afford. The argu-
ment, In Washington's case, will be that
such a measure as the Shipstead bill
would be to the advantage of BUILDERS
by protecting their investment, rather
than that it would hamper builders In
carrying out what they regard as COR
rect design.
The merit In such contention Is
readily realized in the case of Pennsyl-
| vania avenue. On the south side of the
Avenue the Government is spending a
vast amount Of money to beautify its
Capital and to provide appropriate hous-
ing for its departments. But on the
north side of the Avenue, so long as
a builder conforms to the coming regu-
lations in the height and use of his
structure, its design Is left to the whims
of his architect. There are many struc-
lures in Washington today which for
many long years will stand as testimo-
nials to the danger that lies in an archi-
tect's whim. A measure designed to
protect the investment of the taxpay-
ers in the beauty of their buildings on
the south side of the Avenue, by guard
ing against the erection of monstrosities
facing these buildings, is grounded on
/ sound, common sense and should be
treated accordingly.
The north side of the Avenue was
recently described as "the most wonder
full place In the United States for build
ings of monumental character" The
bulldog &5o, p1Dceeding on this theory
erects an expenS6e and beautiful struc-
ture, conforming in appearance to the
Federal-owned buildings opposite, should
not be allowed to suffer the risk of hav-
ing his property damaged by an un.
slightly building next door.
If confined for the time being tc
Pennsylvania avenue, the proposed reg.
ulation should receive immediate anc
favorable attention by Congress. Ir
this case, Congress would merely be
protecting the expenditures which it ha:
already authorized.
