HAMPTON ROADS, May S1.-The
Hampton Roads ports appear to be
entering upon critical period with
respect to traffic development ac'
ccrding to an analysis of current
figures of port commerce now be-
ing carried forward in the research
department of the Virginia State
chamber Of commerce.
Certain new commodities are be-
ginning to enter int the traffic
OF the Virginia ports. but at the
same time the traffic in certain
other CONNIE titles is exhibiting a
downward trend, the analysis shows.
The net outcome of the changes now
In progress is regar as uncertain.
Diversity Sought
In the light of these circumstances
the view is expressed that agencies
interested in the deve'o OF the
ports of Norfolk and Newport News
must needs exert themselves
strongly at this time order to
hold existing traffic. and in order
to bring about greater diversity so

aggregate business of the ports.
During the first quarter of 1929,
figures for which have just become
available, the value of commodities
exported from the customs district
of Virginia totaled $38, 4S1 ,546, as
compared with $43,02S.65S during
the corresponding period Of last
year.
Declines Noted
The figure for this year reflected
relative declines in the values Of
each Of the staple export commodi'
ties; leaf tobacco and raw cotton.
The coal trade showed a slbstan-
tial increase as compared with a
year ago.
The import trade nowed some
thing of a falling off during the
first three months of the current
year, reaching a total value of S.
847, 1855, as compared with $780,
$50 during the period a year ago.

The success Of the Japanese beetles

There are bizarre prophecies that the

Of the latter.
Three years ago single beetle was
found in Q Petworth garden, probably
brought in from Maryland on an auto

the neighborhood, including Soldiers

were Q few more and last year 1t was
necessary to place Q beetle quarantine

There could hardly have been more

They had . power Of survival which
turned the scales in their favor, which

Despite the heat which Nature seems
70 have inflicted upon the District Of
Columbia, along with great section
Of the country at large, the residents
Of the National Capital are more than
ordinarily fortunate.
Not only does Washington beneft
from lying comparatively close to the
sea, but 1t feels the mitigating In
Nuence Of the Potomac. In whose silvery
smbracs 1t lies.
Those who suffer from the heat may
not feel that these Influences are large,
but those who come here from far
inland are unanimous in expressing
their appreciation Of the fresher air in
washington.
No matter how hot 1t becomes, or
how high the oficial thermometers 60,
the air is balmier here, containing q
vital something which enables those
who suffer most from continued heat
TO pull through in fairly comfortable

Horn Blowing.

Maj. Pratt is about to begin war on
two classes Of noisy motorists, those
who blow their horns raucously when
summoning their girl friends" to the
street, and those who become impatient
at crossings with automatic lights or
policemen and toot loudly TO get action.
The superintendent Of police takes these
infractions Of the regulations so serious
ly that a general order has been issued
on the subject.
1t is unquestionably annoying for per-
sons who are Ill or resting to be COM
PEELED to listen to unnecessary blowing
OF horns. There Is enough noise now of
oil kinds TO make life miserable for the
city dwellsr without having 1t added to
by misuse Of automobile horns. Besides
that, it Is no way for a motorist to an
nounce his arrival for the evening ap-
pointment. The girl friend" would have
ample cause. it seems, to be insulted,
and refuse to keep q date If the suitor
ID 90 lazy that calling for her in the
proper manner is too much effort.
As for motorists blowing their horns
OF Intersections. Maj. Pratt evidently
has never been, behind one Of the
drivers who take the red light not
only as a signal to stop, but as fine
opportunity to catch little nap, or the
trafic policeman who is busily engaged
in conversation and neglects to turn
the semaphore. The horn in this case
is necessary If any forward movement
is desired. However, this practice can
be abused as well as everything else
and Maj. Pratt's order viii probably
meet with widespread approval.

Capital Punishment
Urged to Crush Crime

To the Editor of The Star:
have before me two clippings, one
from an American newspaper and the
other from an English newspaper. The
clipping from the American paper is
headed, "a New Murder In Chicago"
and the Introductory words read:
Another murder-the third in thirty
six hours and the most brutal Of the
three-waS done last night. q"
The clipping from the English paper
is headed, Three Capital Charges" I"
and the Introductory sentence reads:
Three murder charges are down for
hearing in different parts Of the coun-
try today" They seem able to catch
them. in England, the few they have,
and when they catch them they hang
them.
The following passage from "Fardaf-
ougha, the MiSer," story by the
famous Irish writer, William Carleton,
should be thoughtfully pondered by the
police power and the magistracy:
"Flanagan's execution, like any other
Just and necessary vindication Of the
law, was not without its usual good
effect upon the great body OF the peo-
pie; for although we are not advocates
for q sanguinary statute book, neither
are we the eulOSlStS OF dlOSe WHO, Will

There n q movement in this country
to abolish capital punishment. But
capital punishment Is practically abol-
ished now. Suppose we try capital
punishment for q while, and see how
IL works. The swift apprehension Of
murderers, and their prompt execution
by due process Of law, would go q long
way toward reducing the number OF
murders In this country. Such o course
would soon awaken q salutary fear OF
the law as representing justice. Justice
Is the moral power of law. without
Justice, law Is only a bully, and de-
serves and receives the contempt that
bullies deserve and receive.
Jesus did not mean to do away with
the "lex talibnis." He distinctly says
that He did not come to destroy the
law and the prophets. His doctrine
about returning good for evil was meant
to apply to the ordinary social relation

administration Of Justice. Several OF
his parallels show that He favored legal
punishments, and even capital punish

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRAcEWELL.

Freak forms Of bobs are not approved
by most men. although they may say
nothing about 1t. The two which meet
universal approval are the little girl
bob" which needs no explanation. and
the style which demands what In old
fashioned parlance was called bangs"
When the latter style Is becoming, 1t is
very much so.
AS for hats. the small one still wins
the masculine heart. The large hat is
much worn. but it is not in line with
the main trend, and must seek help
by calling itself feminine"
White felt hats. while much worn,
never appeal TO men because in 90
cases out Of 100 they are plain dirty.
In other words, the dear wearers do
not send them to the cleaners often
enough.
Select half a dozen white felt hats
In any crowd and you will note that
every one of them shows fingerprints.
Hence, we say, select another shade, q
pastel color.
The present vogue for cotton goods,
We are informed by an astute lady. Is
no doubt reflection Of the diffusion Of
more wealth through communities. In
the elder days now gone beyond recall,
when families had to conserve money
all along the line. dark silks were FASH
ionable because they did not need
cleaning so often.
Today women are more able to pat
roniZe the laundry and cleaning estab-
lishments. with the result that it is. In
a sense, a display Of wealth or an ap-
proach to 1t to be able to possess many
cotton trocks and these always clean.
Let no one laugh at this explanation.
Pride OF possession Is closely linked
with ability to possess in this very
curious world In which we all live.
Many style trend" can be asse-
ciated clearly with economic means.

Our gratis advice to women in regard
to sleeveless dresses Is as follows: II
you have big, pudgy arms, don't wear
'em. And If you do wear sleeveless
dresses, cut back the shoulder, or what
ever the top of the arm Is called, and
show the round of the shoulder. This
Is q very beautiful curve in the feminine
anatomy. and a lady might as well
make the most of it.
Sometimes one hears criticism OF
girls and women for wearing as little
clothes as possible. but mostly men are
undergoing very wholesome conversion
In this respect and thousands of them
worry no more about it than the women
themselves.
This Is very salutary education for
mankind. The old-type prudery meets
its natural end before the onrush OF
frank honesty beneath the sun. Thus
you seldom see any one but callow
youths staring at women because the
sun shines through.
All such freedoms give women the
greatest opportunity to dress becom-
ingiy which the race has ever enjoyed
The old taboos are off, also most of the
clothes. with the result that women's
clothing has become standardized In
simplicity and therefore beauty.
Since the women got up enough
courage to throw away about three
fourths of their wrappings. their dress
has become both sensible and charming
q condition of being which mems ap-
parel cannot claim to have achieved.
The athletic girl Is responsible for
most of these Improvements. and the
hat Of the male world is on to her. She
has done what the doctors could not
do-made sunshine. freedom and health

Holds Different View
On All-Night Parking
10 the Editor of The Star:

TO the Editor of The Star:
In reply to a letter recently published
in The Star will say that there are
many cities where automobiles are
parked in the streets at night. Also, If
one. viii figure out the number Of au-
tomobiles belonging in the District one
can readily see 1t would be impossible
to house all OF them. ] believe the
method Of numbering the tags Is first
1899, then 1899 for each letter in the
alphabet excepting ], and I have no.
ticed that the numbers are well up
toward the 9999 mark with the letter
", which roughly would give 100000
automobiles in the District Of Column
bia. Count the garages, public and pri-
vate, and multiply the number by 10
eand am sure there would not be
enough garages to house all the auto
mobiles In the District.
Why all this incessant bowling about
parking cars in the streets? We are not
all night owls; tourists are usually tired
and are not out late at night; most Of
us retire at q reasonable hour and do
not see the cars which are resting
peacefully along the curb making no
noise at all. As to people who own q
car not being able to afford a garage,
wish one or all Of those protesting
against night parking would come down
in my neighborhood, Sixteenth and O
streets northwest and find a garage
for me, as want one very much, and
as yet have been unable to find one
within any reasonable distance Of where
live.
Has any one ever heard Of q case
where the Fire Department was stopped
by parked automobiles? Never; the
Fire Department does not let a little
thing like that stop them. I once
heard of case when the fire engine
drew up alongside parked car, opened
the doors and led the suction hose
through the car to the hydrant and
went right on pumping. The car made
fine rest for the suction hose.
Expend q little more energy trying
to curb some Of the worst drivers In the
country, and toward trying to get peo-
pie to obey the traffic signals as well
as the trafic laws. am q newcomer
here and will say that this Is q beau
tiful city, wonderfully administered and
could be made model traffic city II
our own people would put their shoul-
der to the wheel and help the Traflc
Bureau out. LIEUT.. w. w. TOLES.

Sometimes you will hear women say
that their men-folk pay little attention
to their clothes, but mostly they are
mistaken in this.
With the advent Of more simple
clothing from head to foot the male
with the result that today almost every
man Is q fashion adviser.
Women's clothes have gotten around
to the point where their freedom from
furbelows strikes q chord in the mascu-
line nature never sounded since the
styles of ancient Greece went out Of
fashion.
Those who recall their mythology
will realize that the athletic lady who
ran foot race and lost It, we believe,
because she stopped to pick up golden
apple thrown In her path, was dressed
exactly as the modern miss who goes
in for tennis.
She had short skirt, sleeveless
dress. and not much else. It is sig
nificant that the vogue for the dress
without sleeves was at its height in
Ireland and Scotland several centuries
ago.
those who recall the poetry Of
Ossian (who. by the way, wasn't Ossian
the heroines Of those simple ballads
wore sleeveless dresses.
"The white-aYmed Strina-dona" was
the usual descriptive phrase. Recall,
too, Dido deserted on the shore by
Ulysses. The pictures show her tossing
her long white arms In despair.
The modern woman has taken o tip
from these ancient ladies and has gone
In for q more sane revelation OF her
charms. resulting in better community
as well as personal health.
~
Yet it is q question whether the new
"sun back" dress is any addition to
feminine charm. Mostly the women
ugliest shoulder blades. Why Is this?
Nor Is the vogue for yellow any ad-
dition to the beauty of the downtown
landscape. Just because small Princess
Elizabeth happens to look well In DAT
fodil yellow, thus setting a vogue for
small girls. is no reason in the world
why their large sisters should appear
equally charming In the same color.
Nor do they. 1t Is only the excep-
tional woman who looks well In yellow;
when whole streetful of ladies young
and old take to the color the result rs
anything but pleasing.
Perhaps the trouble comes with the
"sun back" proposition In taking into
the street what was designed for the
tennis court. What might appear ap-
propriate in sports often looks out OF
place on crowded thoroughfares.
There is no masculine objection to
the stockingless fad except on the point
of cleanliness. It would appear none
too clean, in regard to the shoes, and
so must be ruled out except upon
occasion.
As for bobbed hair, It is here to stay.
The average man may accept but never
applaud the halfway style, which is
neither hobbed nor long, but permits
the locks to drag on the shoulders.
AS q general proposition. however,
there can be little question of the
masculine approval of bobbed hair. 1t
was unqueStionably true that too many
women formerly had no idea Of the best
way to dress their hair.
Thousands Of women who once had
stringy, untidy heads now possess the
neatest and most picturesque hobs"
and have thus added to the sum total
of beauty In the world.
Evening star., 1929-06-24

every one to keep In mind, however,
is that the quality Is still with usI
Babies 50 through the hot nights
with less fret and worry here, strong
men and women sleep better, oil be-
cause the basic quality of the air is
better, in 9 good sense, than it is Tn
thousands Of towns and villages whose
Thermometers show no higher mark.
Let no one outtalk you, Washing-
tonian, on the ancient slander that 1t is
hotter here than elsewhere. There
isn't q word Of truth in 1t. The silvery
Potomac holds the city in its cooling
folds, bringing with it from the Great
Falls healing in the night.
Hams Point stands at all hours ready
to greet the visitor with a breeze, while
Potomac Park offers soothing ministra-
tions in q similar service. There are
hundreds of dells In Rock Greek Park
where the temperature is just a little
lower. The creek itself helps. Scores
Of beautiful, shady smaller parks exert
their influence every hour, and the great
trees there and throughout the city take
up moisture from the earth and send
it to the clouds again.
All In all, as one emissions the good
points of washington from q meteoro-
logical standpoint, one may feel o gen.
uins sorrow for residents OF many
other places, where Mature has not
been SO kindly. 1t is hot-yes, it is
hot--but it is not a. hot as it might
be. and is in many, many other por-
tions of the Nation. Think Of Phoenix
and be still.
