safe from automobile thieves" warns
the Delaware Automobile Association,
A. NJ. A. 11th and West streets, Will
mington, which points out that auto
thieves grasp opportunity wherever it
is offered and as rule specialize in
residential streets where they are al
most always sure to find some cars
with transmission or ignition keys in
the lock. "Many substantial citizens
would be highly indignant" said Lin
naeus L. Noopes, Executive Secreta7 v
of the Association, "if they were told
they had contributed to the deliE-
quency of young men and had actually
even though unintentionally, been ac-
cessories in the hit-and-run crime now
so prevalent throughout the state.
Pet, morally, that is what allowing
car to remain unlocked and unguard-
ed on the street amounts to. Thous-

rides by youths. In the course of the
rides accidents occur. The knowledge
that Jail places them as car thieves if
they are caught deadens the human
itarian impulse to stop and render
assistance. They are promptly classi-
fed as hit-and-run drivers. If car
borrowing were not made so easy by
car owners, who permit their ma
chimes to remain unlocked in the
streets, there would be fewer hit-and-
run casualties. While it is not our
intention to convey the thought that
all hit-and-run cases originate in this
practice, it is true that large per-

to lie on his doorstep unguarded, a
temptation to every passerby, yet
thousands Of motorists allow cars Of

their curbs, with dangling keys an
open invitation to every adventurous

Washington Letter
By c. LUMME
C. PLUATNTER

WASHINGTON, June 13.-There's an historic old
mansion on II street at Madison place which daily is
growing in popularity amonog high government Off
Gals as a rendezvous.
In the distant past it was the home Of Dolly Mad
ison. For more than a quarter century it has housed
the Cosmos club. one OF the capitals most exclusive
male organizations.
1t is composed OF men who have done meritorious
work in science. literature or the fine arts; those who
have distinguished themselves in a learned profess
sion or in public service, and those who, though not
occupied in these fields, are we'll known TO be cult
waited in a specific department thereof.
The club was organized in 1878. Its membership
includes artists, scientists and Savants famous in all
parts Of the world.
SUB ROSA CABINET
There was a time when the Cosmos club was re-
carded as the unofficial headquarters Of the admin
istration. This was during the presidency Of Wood
row Wilson.
Many Of the war presidents leaders were mem
bers. Franklin K. Lane. Charles r. Crane, Newton
ID. Baker. David f.. Houston; economists, sociologists,
college professors-these types were common in the
Wilson administration. The Cosmos club was their
natural habitat.
Then came the Harding-C Coolidge administration
A different type Of men composed the officialdcn un-
der these presidents, Bankers and business men were
in control. Prosperity was the keynote

as the government leaders foregathered in their
leisure hours to the Metropolitan club. just beyond
the opposite corner. The Metropolitan has been ia
nous since its foundation for the wealth Of It's mem
bership.
GLORY OF OLD
Now there are unmistakable signs that the Cosmos
club Is coming back into the glory 1t once knew. Of
ficialdom gradually Is veering back to the club that
President Hoover joined in 1921 when he was secre-
tary OF commerce.
There Is Secretary Ray Lyman Wilbur, the edu-
Gator. a member since 1922. There Is the political
economist type in DR.. Julius Klein. assistant secretary
Of commerce. And there Is the technically efficient
engineering type.
Such men as these. holding important posts in the
present administration, may be found in groups about
the parlors or at round tables in the dining room at
noon at the Cosmos club these days
Some Of them still refer to the president as chief
with the same enthusiasm and affection they did
when he was secretary Of commerce.
The writer hears that more than one important
administration project Is conceived or planned mt
these little gatherings.
And when no task Is Immediately at hand. an

Weevil Must Be Controlled

prospects for 4 big cotton crop in the Valley are
good
II the plants recover from the setback caused by
heavy rains late in May and
II boil weevil damage is checked.
This is the opinion Of H. P. Boyd, vice president
Of the Valley Gin Co. and an authority on Valley cot
ton crops.
1t is too early yet to say that a good cotton crop
is ii prospect. even If the weevil is controlled Boyd
explains but the indications are favorable, ne points
out.
The weevil infestation is the heaviest in years, he
declares. after a recent inspection Of fields in all sec
lions Of the Valley. It is not too late to control TINS
menace. but prompt action is required.
Large screages Of Valley cotton turned yellow
after the transforms of May because Of too much
water. The plants appear to be recovering from this
damage in large areas.
The department OF agriculture Of the United
States recently issued the statement that poisoning
cotton to control weevil infestations would prove
profitable II cotton was likely to sell at a profit II
the poisoning was carried out IN a manner 70 pro-
duce results and II prospects for a crop we're good
considering that the weevils were controlled.
II appears that the present Valley crop will tul-
fin these requirements for successful poisoning II
remains only TO do the work in an effective manner
that is. poison often enough and early enough 70
reduce weevil damage.
The first bale Of the present crop is ginned. But
one bale Of cotton does not make a profitable yield
any more than one swallow makes a summer
To reap the benefit to the individual growers ano
70 the Valley as q whole every possible bale must oe
matured and gathered.
The United States department Of agriculture re-
mort for June | indicates the cotton crop Throughout
the belt is not in good condition and this argues well
for favorable prices. This is another reason for
making every effort TO mature a big crop in the
Valley. .
The report as related TO Texas says:
In Northern and Central Texas rains continued
internationally until the end OF the month until prac-
tically the entire state was well soaked. Some sec
tions had Is 70 20 days Of rain with an aggregate OF
over Is inches in localities. Lowlands have been
flooded and the higher ones badly washed High
winds early in May made a large part Of the soil very
dry and gave proving crops a severe setback
This a good reason for producing as large a cotton
crop in the Valley as circumstances will permit

You may have noticed that be-
cause Of the presence Of smallpox
in England. the French government
would not permit tourists from that
country to enter France, without
their having been vaccinated within
"a reasonable time. AS I view II, this
is as it should be.

Rule" AS ii Is applied 1t relates
largely 10 moral and social contacts.

To my mind the right OF self-dc-
termination Is fundamental. we
should neve seek to trample upon
this right unless there is abundant
and provable reason. I might look
in sorrow upon a person taking a
course which to my mind is a mis-
taken one. 7 might be so bold as To

I receive an occasional letter from

tious person. demonstrating with me

measures rs vaccination and inoCu-
lation. They ask for conclusive
proof that such preventive measures
are actually useful.
This IS not the time 70 discuss in
detail that particular criticism. I
shall pass II nv for the moment with
the arbitrary statement that in my
opinion there is no more conclusive
fact in medicine than the effective
prevention Of smallpox by vaccina-
ton and OF diphtheria bv inocula-

"A Laredo newspaper writer reports the saving Of

during the season Of 1929 as the result Of the substi-

shipping firm used 100000 iute and saXoline sacks.
More than 1900 carloads Of onions were shipped from

reason that lutte. which comes from India and other
