Protests Location of
The House of Detention

To the Editor OF The Star:
To locate the House of Detention at
908 B street southwest would place it
too near the Freer Art Gallery, the
Smithsonian Institution and the Ma
tional Museums. The Mall, extending
from the Capitol to Arlington, is the
Nations lawn. In these the Nation
has committed their treasures into our
keeping. We should not allow sordid
scenes about them. but should strive
to preserve the beauty of their sur
roundings.
Many Of the city's most respectable
citizens live near the apartment that
has been leased There is not another
section of the city that can show a
nicer, finer or prettier group of young
women than those that live in that
immediate neighborhood No neigh
borhood can show group of girls
with a larger percentage marked by
beauty. intelligence and grace The
District Commissioners can Judge for
themselves.
These girls. through their own per-
sistence. intelligence and ambition.
have won for themselves splendid po-
Sitions.
The District authorities should be
proud of such splendid group of girls
and should show 1t in a different way
than that of placing down amid their
homes the city'sl disheveled. cursing,
drunken women. TACK SPRATT.

UNITED STATES
in WORLD WAR
Ten Years Ago Today.

Great enemy activity behind the Hin
denburg line on the st. Mihiel front to-
day. Large supply trains are seen on
many roads and numerous troop move
ments are observed, indicating still
further strengthening of the German
lines in fear of another American at
tack. Our overseas Army
now totals l.750,000 men. including all
who have gone to France and the
smaller attachments sent to Vladivo-
stok, Archangel, England and Italy
Official figures published to-
day disclose that the total loss of ship
ping by allied and neutral nations since
the beginning of the war, due to u
boat ravages, Is l.404 ,913 tons. more
than 100000 tons in excess of the
tonnage constructed in that same pc
Rod. Net loss by submarines is 1862
0G8 tons. United States leads
the world in shipbuilding, with 3S6.000
employees. Haig's forces again
break into the Hindenburg line near
Epehy, encountering strong opposition
in the way of determined German coun-
terattacks which were repulsed. Brit
ish continue thei advance in Flanders,
capturing a strong point west OF
MeSSineS. Serbians gain 8
miles more, liberating 10 villages in
their victorious northWard march.
Heavy gunfire all along the italian
front, but attempts by the Austrians to
break the line in the mour. ;ains are re-
pulsed at all points. Four hum
dred and ninety-eight casualties on
lists published today; 1919 killed in
action, l43 wounded and l55 missing.

arises again as to the kind Of justice
that will permit man. caught, accused,

crime. to remain alive for nearly year
after its commission.
There has never been any doubt of
Hickmans guilt. and consequently there
has been no occasion for delay in the
execution of sentence. In many crimi-
nal cases either doubt or extenuating
circumstances have been brought for
ward by counsel for the accused to Sc

Progress Held Inane
Without Old Values

IRON the Ann Arbor Daily News.
The world has been spinning rather
rapidly the last few months. Herbert
Hoover has predicted the approaching
abolition of poverty. Edward A. Filene
has announced that we need never
again have a business slump. The
Westinghouse people are preparing to
broadcast movies by radio. Henry Ford
feels that the universal siX-hour work.
ing day is not far of. Forty million
people have listened to presidential
campaign speech; German company
is about to start transatlantic alrShlp
service, and the American people are
buying new automobiles at the rate of
100000 or more month.
All in all it becomes obvious that we
are moving pretty fast The times are
times in which, as the Psalmist said,
the young men are dreaming dreams
and the old men are seeing visions.
We are finding new horizons opening
before US, and it isn't to be wondered
at if We sometimes feel that the greatest
era in human history is about to dawn.
Yet it is quite possible that we are a
bit too optimistic.
THE kingdom of Heaven is within
you is very old piece of advice. 1t
means, obviously, that eSternals are I'M
important; that the real starting place
for all advances, all happiness, lies in
our own hearts. We are, for our Grass
ness, stupidity and acqu.sitiveness, es-
sentially spiritual beings, and we must
seek spiritual satisfaction.
Now, it may be that the devices of
this machine age will bring us this in
tcrnal release. Automobiles, labor-Sav-
ing devices, short working days. radio,
abundant money and all the rest may
free us from the cares of this world
and enable us to find within ourselves
the pathway to the kingdom that was
envisioned so long ago in Judea. But,
on the other hand, they may not. They
may make us more earthbound than
ever.
What earthly good is added leisure If
we use it only to race about more heat
eddy than before? If radio movies serve
only to bring the five-minute kisses of
Greta Carlo and John Gilbert into
every living room, they will be doubt
full boon. Happiness and peace do not
depend on gasoline and electricity. and
there were men who managed to lead
rich lives before the invention of the
steam engine.
There are boundless possibilities in
this new age. to be sure. 1t is within
our power to free ourselves as our fore
fathers never dreamed. But we must
adopt new set of values-or rather,
we must get back to one of the Oldest
sets of values on earth. We must real
ize that the world. with all that is in it,
is only a stage setting for great in
ternal conflict. We must find our king
dom within ourselves.

PHILOSOPHERS
BY
GLENN FRANK

Yesterday I spoke of the existing in
tensitv of race consciousness and the
postwar instability of the relations be-
tween the white and colored worlds as
very stubborn facts that must be reck-
oned with in safeguarding and sustain
ing our civilization.
We must reckon with these factors in
the light Of the facts about the varied
races of the world What do we now
know about the varied races? Do we
know enough yet to be cocksure?
have read with great care the litera-
ture in this field and I have been forced
to the following conclusions:
First. research in the matter OF race
has been neither extensive enough nor
critical enough to justify cocksureness
regarding either the equality or the in
equality of the human races. We
simply do not know enough yet to speak
with scientific certainty. The current
literature of both the racial SWash-
buckler and the racial sentimentalist is
the product not of ripe scholarship, but
of green scholarship.
Second the extreme racialiSts have
made hasty and as yet scientifically
unjustificd application of what modern
biology has found out about individual
human beings to whole races.
Third. neither our accumulated
knowledge nor our present technique OF
research has enabled us to diSentangle
the various factors of physical heredity,
social heritage. climatic influence, the
effect of environment and the many
other things that unite to determine the
status. the characteristics and the CIV
ilzed accomplishments of the various
races of the world This should cause
us to go slow in making cocksure
statements about the natural superiority
or the natural inferiority of any race.
Fourth, we have learned much about
race character and race mixture, even
! if our knowledge of the causes of racial
grounds for some very strong aSSump-
! lions about race mixture. But our re-
! search simply has not reached the stage
where anybody is justified in speaking
I with scientific certainty either about
! race character or race mixture. There
are considerations of political and social
! harmony that counsel caution in the
! indiscriminate cross breeding OF the
! radically different races. But AS far as
accurate biological knowledge of the re-
suits of race mixture is concerned we
| are still very much in the dark.
/ The most we can be sure about now
! is that our lack of sure knowledge
/ should lead us to go slow on race mix
| lures. not because we know it is always
! bad but because we do not know that
! 1t is good.
The relation of the races is the over
shadowing political problem of the mod
! ern world

otee forget the terror that Cobb In
spired In opposing teams when he was
in his heydsy. Lightning fast on his
feet, a deadly batter. and playing the
game for all it was worth, Cobb by
the sheer audacity OF his clever moves
won for himself place in the base
ball world that can never be filled.
It was no unusual thing for Ty to
steal two bases on two consecutive
pitched balls. and once. if memory does
not fail, he stole second, third and
home on three pitches To him
belongs the credit for the invention of
the delayed steal. and much of his sue
cess in base running was attributed 10
this unexpected play.
For the past two years he has been
with Connie Mack's Athletics after hav-
ing rendered his entire previous base
ball service to Detroit. Last year Cobb
played good many games and proved
that age had not dimmed his batting
eye by amaSsing percentage of better
than three hundred and fifty, but this
year with the revemped Philadelphia
team. the erstwhile fircbrand has been
forced to watch others cavort in his
place.
Cobb is comfortably off as far as
finances are concerned and will be able
to enjoy his leisure, But there will
be many a fine Spring for years to come
when his ears will crave the sound of
