America now possesses only one
straight-away speed record. England
has the air record with speed of more
than 300 miles an hour and through
Maj. Segrave's efforts on the beach at
Daytona also holds the land record at
231 miles an hour. The Britisher, after
defeating Wood in their twelve mile match
race. was to have made an attempt on
the straight-away mark, but the fragile
hull of Miss England gave way and he
was compelled to abandon his plans. So
the score now rests with England su-
preme in the air and on the land, but
America holder of the straight-away
water title. With the United States
Navy refusing to compete in the
Schneider Cup race. the blue ribbon
event of aviation. and the last American
speed car to be constructed total wreck
after killing its pilot, it looks as if John
Bull would hold securely to these two
records, but there is nothing the mat
ter with Gar Wood and his Miss Amer
icas and 1t will take something more
than has yet been shown to wrest from
this country the record left in the
churning wake of his speedy boats.

Great Listeners.

The Senate and House committees on
agriculture have their hearings on farm
relief going at full speed The members
Of both committees have listened to
suggestions from every conceivable
source regarding farm relief during the
last five or six years. Enough volumes
OF congressional hearings on the farm
problem have been compiled to fill a
good sized library. Yet the hearings are
under way again. But whoever heard Of
a congressional committee drafting a
bill without first holding hearings? It
simply is not done. So the Senators and
Representatives are listening, for the
most part, to twice-told tales, so far as
they themselves are concerned. It is
possible that something new may be de-
veloped during the hearings, but only
complete optimist expects such an &C.
currence.
Having heard from the farm organi-
zations of the country time and again,
and from individual farmers by the
score, not to mention college professors,
the Senate committee is now undertak-
ing to obtain the advice Of Henry Ford,
J. P. Morgan, Joseph r. Grundy, head
of the Pennsylvania Manufacturers As
ISOLATION, and other leaders of industry
Apparently the idea lurking in the back
of the heads of the committeeman is
that these men, who have been tremen-
douSly successful in manufacturing and
banking lines, may be able to give the
farmers plan which will place them
on an equality with the men who en-
gage in industry in this country. 1t does
seem to the layman, however, that it
would be about as wise to call In a
group Of farmers and ask them how to
start and maintain a manufacturing
institution on the scale of the Ford
plant, for example.
As matter of fact, except for some
details. the farm bill which is likely
to pass at the coming special session OF
Congress is already written. All the
hearings in the world are not likely to
ton is the bill creating a Federal farm
board, which was introduced in the last
session Of Congress by Senator McNary
of oregon, chairman of the Senate com.
mittee on agriculture, and which he
has now revised and has before his
committee for consideration as soon a:
the hearings shall have been completed
In the revised bill the Federal Govern.
ment is called upon to set aside $780,,
100000 to be used as a revolving func
to aid in the better marketing of thu
farmers BPS. In his last session bill
the sum was s3oo,oOo,ooo. No price
fixing scheme is contained in the bill
The equalization fee has been omitted
and no such mechanical device for pric,
raising is likely to be inserted In tn

Preparations Still Entangled.

Allied, American and German ex-
perts have been Juggling at the repara-
tons knot for roundly two months now
but the sword which is TO cut it has
not yet been unsheathed. The tangle
in short. remains entangled. Easter
tide at Paris may produce a solution
Mr. Young, the American chairman OF
the brainy but baffled experts, has de-
creed an adjournment over the holiday
One may be sure the recess will be de-
voted to earnest heartsearching, for a
very real crisis in the reparations sit
uation has arisen.
Something approaching a showdown
by Germany and her creditors occurred
yesterday. From both sides formal prop
ositions for final settlement were SUBJ
mitted. Paris dispatches tell us that
no hard and fast figures" were put
forward, but the ideas of both creditors
and debtor on this score are fairly we'll
known. The powers to which Germany
must pay separations are not disposed
to accept annuities of less than $780,
100000. The Germans. through their
chief negotiator. Dr. Hjalmar Schacht,
president of the Reichsbank, has never
indicated readiness to concede more
than s2OoOOO,o0O as their maximum
capacity to pay"
Mr.. Young seems to have averted an
absolute deadlock. and possibly the peril
of a complete breaking off of the Paris
'parley, by suggesting that weeks va
cation for all concerned might be use
full. 1t was agreed that the experts
should get down to the brass tacks of
actual f1gures-Germanys fixed total
obligation, as we'll as annual payments
next Thursday. Finality should then be
in sight. To date all that has won
more or less unanimous approval is the
Young-Morgan plan of a bank of
nations" which in future would handle
the vast movement of international
funds which will flow from an eventual
reparations adjustment.
Craftsmanship is the art Of give and
take. Compromise is another name for
1t. Business men resort to it in their
daily occupations. Some Of the worlds
greatest business men are now sitting
around the conference table in Paris
1t is not conceivable that they will fail
to apply to the worlds biggest out
standing business proposition the prac-
tees they invoke in their private af-
fairs.

The New Police Chief.

In the selection of Maj. Henry G.
Pratt, now inspector and senior assist
ant superintendent, to be superintendent
Of police to succeed Maj. Hesse, retired,
the Commissioners have done well by
the Police Department. by the District
government and by the community.
Mai. Pratt has been capable member
of the Police Department for nearly a
third of a century. his service being
continuous with the exception of the
period of his duty with the Govern
ment during the war. In all of his
work as patrolman, as detective sergeant
and lately as inspector in charge of the
Detective Bureau he has shown himself
to be efficient and faithful. During the
war he rendered especially valuable
service in the military intelligence
branch and returned to the District
government police duty with an excep-
tionally high record.
Mai. Pratt's selection as superintend-
ent follows the principle of promotion
which is always to be preferred in cases
of administrative change when indi-
vidual qualifications permit and justify.
In this instance the Commissioners were
almost embarrassed with riches Of
opportunity. Several highly qualified
members of the department were avail
able for promotion to the superintend-
ency. The choice of Maj. Pratt how
ever, was indicated by both his efficiency
and his seniority Of rank.
Other changes in the Police Depart
ment are contemplated, all making for
a better organization and strengthen
ing Of the service. The promotions
incident to Maj. Pratt's designation as
superintendent are in themselves recog-
nitions of merit.
Indications have been given that with
the selection Of new superintendent
there would be very general shake-up
Of the personnel Of the Police Depart
ment. These higher administrative
changes, however, are not necessarily
Of a nature to involve drastic shifts of
assignment. There is no occasion for
them as far as the morale and efficiency
Of the force are concerned.
Maj. Pratt knows and has confidence
In the personnel Of the department. In
the same way the members of the
department know and have confidence
In their new chief. This mutually of
regard and respect should make for
exceptionally efficient police administra-
ton for Washington.

A Notch Higher.

Gar Wood. although vanquished in
his championship water tilt with Mai.
H. o. D. Segrave. the daring British
automobile and boat driver. put the
straight-away-mile record one notch
further away from his English opponent
Monday when he clicked off the course
at the astounding rate of SO miles an
hour. Holder of the previous record at
90 miles, Wood, since his defeat by
Segrave, has been making valiant at
tempts to place the straight-away rec
ord further out of the reach of the one
man racing team from England, and has
sent the Miss America VII at full throt-
tie whining through the water at better
than 80 miles an hour. 1t was not un-
til Monday, however, that a change
of propellers gave the American boat
the decisive punch to create a new
record.
The addition of one mile to the
championship mark probably seems an
insignificant achievement to the lay
man. but in the realm of high speed on
the water it assumes momentous i'm
portance. An illustration of this fact
may be gained from the current adj
vertisements for standard speed boats
wherein a manufacturer points out thai

to reach a speed of SO to SIS miles q

other words, at the 50-mile point it re.
quires 100 additional horsepower to ado

Fatal to Zoo Lizard
By E. E. FREE, PHI. ID.

How the dull brain of lizard fooled

creatures world temporarily went wrong

recent fatality at the London Zoo.

that the lizards may be comfortable
during the cold Winters of the British
metropolis. The sand is heated from
acknowledgements the reverse ar
rangement from that of the real deserts,
where the sandy ground is heated by
the sun.
During England's severe cold snap of
the past Winter 1t was necessary to
heat the lizards sand piles hotter than
usual, and the regulation of this extra
heat was not always perfect. Some of
the lizards got too hot.
whenever this happens in their native
deserts. it is the instinct of the animals
to burroW into the sand, which is al
ways cooler underneath than in the
sun-heated top layer
Too much heat in the London sand

tiles precisely this same response. al
though here they were burrowing
straight toward the uncomfortable heat
instead Of away from 1t. That fact
seemed to make no impression.
Lizard after lizard burrowed deeper
into the hot sand, blindly following an
ancestral instinct oblivious to the fact
that the heat got worse instead of bet
ter. Several of the animals were
scorched and onO was killed.
