Questions Necessity
OF Furs for Warmth
10 the EDITOR of The Star:

TO the Editor Of The Star:
As a woman, it is with chagrin that
read in The Star Of September l ar
article from Montreal, Fur Demand
Gains In Modern Styles"
Paris, no less, revealed the fur styles
In August for the coming Winter, AND
agrees with Montreal that fur coats are
too warm for limousines, so that mliady
shall wear q cloth coat, fur trimmed.
The point is, there Is not one single
mention made Of fur as a necessity. OF
course not! It is not really needed fol
warmth anywhere, except perhaps II
the Far North. But even in the Cana
dian woods trarpers and woodsmen take
their comfort in something even
warmer, /. e., wool, when properly msu-
lated. The insulation Is simple-two OF
three sweaters, one over the other, VIII
do it.
Then it remains for the gentle, tender
sex to take her "style" at the expense OF
the most savage cruelty that exists to-
day-the steel trap, which catches and
holds in anguish and panic fear, but
does not kill, 1O0,000,000 fur bearers
annually In North America alone. The
figures are those of Miss Agnes Laut
historian Of the Hudson Bay Co.
Yet there is light on the horizon, and
we are led to believe that ethics and
fair play are not to be eclipsed entirely
by the goddess Fashion.
The Spectator Of London, always ally
ing itself with decency and progress
has great hopes Of fur farms, and has
offered to "give q free page advertise
ment to the firm which is the first to
obtain and sell humanely killed furs. "
This is a splendid offer, and Is not to be
disparaged in the slightest, but since
less than half of per cent Of the ful
used comes from farms, what then? Are
we to condone the barbarity Of the steel
trap for fashion alone until, perchance
fur farms grow to such proportions that
they can furnish 100000 peltS an.
nually?
South Carolina has passed q law p1ac-
ing herself at the head of civilization
The law, which was broadly drawn sc
as to protect the farmer from vermin
nevertheless put an end officially to the
hideous cruelty of the steel trap, and Is
comparable to O law passed by the Par
lament Of Great Britain In 1922, at the
instigation of Martin, for the prevention
Of cruelty to animals.
While we have such evidences Of
playing cricket" we cannot wholly de-
SPAR that the time will come when
every State and every country will out
law all devices that do not kill at once
or take alive, unhurt, thus making fur
in all its loneliness q legitimate article OF
commerce.

A Desirable Amendment.

More Chan year ego Commissioner
Sidney r. Taliaferro, who IN member
Of the zoning Commission. threw out a
suggestion to washington real estate
firms and title companies that they
would be doing public service by
including the 2oning classification of
property in all real estate sales con-
tracts and certificates Of title. His
idea was primarily to curb speculation
in real estate and to bring about a
sterilization Of values both In resi-
Dental and commercial property.
The suggestion fell upon deaf ears.
The real estate men opposed the plan
at the time on the ground that 1t
would place an added burden on the
real estate agent. Moreover, the real
estate men felt that purchasers of
property had nothing to fear in accept
ing the word OF a reputable dealer as
to the classification Of the property.
Commissioner Taliaferro however, is
still confident that his suggestion was
good one and that the necessity of
including the coming classification in all
real estate sales contracts and certifi-
Gates Of title has become more appar-
emit with every hearing before the zon-
ing Commission. So yesterday he re-
newed the suggestion with q hope that
IL would receive more favorable con-
sideration In real estate circles than
his original suggestion. The Commits
sioner said that he cannot understand
why any enterprising real estate firm
or title company would hesitate to adopt
the plan as an additional service
feature.
The suggestion Of Commissioner
Taliaferro followed statements before
the zoning Commission which indicated
that property owners either had mis-
understood or had been misinformed

erty, despite the fact that this infor-
nation 10 Of almost equal importance

condition of the title. These incidents
suggest the desirability Of some amend

Strong opposition comes from the st.
Louis Post-Dispatch, with the state
ment that unfortunately the record Of
the West Is hardly an argument in
favor of relinquishing Federal control
to any great degree over any part of
the public domain. The West has been
pretty well exploited" continues that
paper, before the Government initiated
its conservation policy. ** Con-

squarely upon the conservation policy

to retain the public domain, hold 1t

BILE In Palestine. I have travelled

several others overwhelmingly Moslcna

pressions about the matter.
The average Arab Is not energetic. He

existence. But the mysticism" with
which he is popularity endowed is large
~ based on the lack OF insight of the
i Occidental observer. The suffusion of
religtosity attributed to Arab life Ia
! probably more apparent than real. His
religion Is an ancient one, blessed with
what ex-President Coolidge would call
an honorable antiquity. It Is static;
the Arab knows what is expected Of him
to meet its requirements and few in

him in the observance Of its tenets.

choicest lands taken over (wel paid for

bandry. Fearful of his ability to meet
the issue on a pragmatic basis, he has
recourse to religious hysteria. This
would be directed against any people

The Elder Golfers at Pebble Beach.
Not the least of the many surprises
that have followed In the wake Of Bobby
Jones' defeat In the first round Of the
national amateur championship IN
California Is the unusual circumstance
that youth has had its fling at the 1929
championship and has failed. In other
amateur championships it has been
usual for at least two Of the four semi
finalists to have been men Of less than
thirty years Of age.
Out there on the windswept reaches
Of Pebble Beach today are group OF
four veterans Of the game, all men more
than thirty years of age. OF surprises
there have been plenty in this tourna-
ment, beginning with the downfall Of
the reigning titleholder and moving

than that youth Is entirely out Of the

Johnston was wounded and she'll

There may be some magic alchemy IN
the California air that brings back the
fighting spirit Of youth to these aging
veterans Of the game and inspires them
to move forward to victory over their
younger opponents. But the answer
probably lies In the fact that age in
golf, as in other pursuits, brings with
1t steadiness and accuracy, and that the
course ct Pebble Beach demands un-
erring accuracy, and draws heavy toll
from the long, but wild shots OF youth.

The United States of Europe.


There may be a suggestion Of method
In the madness of M. BRAND in choos-
ing this particular moment for launch
ing his long-hatched United States
of Europe" project before the League
of Nations Assembly. It is the witching
hour lust before the enactment Of new
RarGR legislation at Washington, the
proposals Of which have unleashed
such O torrent of protest from Europe
and the world at large. Perhaps the
eloquent French premier timed his ap-
peal for Old World federation in the
expectation that the architects Of the
Hawley-Smoot bill would stop, look and
listen before piling additional stories
on the already sky-high dimensions OF
the American tariff structure.
Be that as 1t may, we do ourselves
no service in RELOCATING the BRAND
scheme to the realm Of bluff. Geneva
received it with fervor that has in
duced M. BRAND to summon a con-
ference Of European representatives on
the subject next week. Eventually 1t
is his purpose to recommend the ap-
pointment Of q commission Of study-a
Ia Hoover-provided the plan meets
with preliminary appreciation at the
impending unofficial discussion Of 1t.
The French premier gives a hint Of its
broad scope when he says 1t should
have a political as well as an economic
basis, though involving no surrender Of
national sovereignty by participating
governments.
A "United States of Europe" Is no
newly born panacea for the countries
which would comprise it. It has been
trotted out on innumerable occasions
in the past. But present-day Euro
pean-American conditions undoubtedly
fire its projectors with an enthusiasm
they may not have had before. These
factors are summarized by the Journal

The Industrial power Of the United

American investments In Europe and

Savants Are Puzzled

It seems odd to our unmathematical
mind, which never got much beyond
compound fractions anyhow, that adj

cussing whether or not it has been
really proved that the earth turns on

have undertaken to prove that it does.
Their paper on the subject Is intended
to meet the question raised by an equal

that the Einstein theory leaves the
earth's daily rotation IN doubt. In view
