Hoover Economy.

For the five and half years of the
preceding White House regime, the
country became familiar with a phrase
that was virtually a national slogan
Coolidge economy" 1t appears that
we are on the verge Of new era of the
same sort, to be known as Hoover
economy" Hardly any other construc-
ton can be placed on the announce
nent just issued by the acting director
of the budget, Mr.. r. o. Kloeber, in
the Presidents name. Mr.. Hoover, the
conmunique sets forth, will allow no
increase in the Federal budget for 1881
above the amount appropriated for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1880. A
total of $3,7S6,ooo,Ooo is the estimated
cost of operating the ship of state
during the business twelvemonth about
70 set in. Beyond that figure the
President is determined not to go.
Herbert Hoover is an engineer
Keeping costs down is of his professional
bone and sinew. But he is also a
builder. and building. in Government as
well as in other fields, calls for ex-
penditure. Mr.. Hoover has always rated,
in and out of Office, as man who looks
upon wise expenditure as the sanest
form of economy and upon parsimonious
retrenchment as the rankest extrava-
gance. The inspiring Federal building
! program, of which he has always been
an ardent supporter, is case in point.
The President believes that it is far
more economical principle for Uncle
Sam to house himself In adequate
premises of his own than to camp out
here, there and everywhere in quarters
which are not only inadequate, but
expensive to lease. besides. The

The New Dawes Plan.

Despite first impressions, it should be
clear that there is no connection. save
that of approximate synchronizat!on
and direct effect, between the recent
"dry" announcements of the British
Ambassador to Washington and the
American Ambassador to London. The
respective positions taken by Sir Esme
Howard and Gen. Dawes disclose dia-
metrically opposed viewpoints on am
bassadorial obligations. Sir Esme's
determination to place British diplomats
in this country upon the water wagon
in so far as his unwillingness to make
further application for importation per-
mits can achieve that ends pre-
sumably based upon his personal theory
that diplomatic courtesy to a nation
attempting to prohibit the use of al
cohol for beverage purposes within its
borders called for such action. The
generals position, on the other hand,
would seem to be that the habits of
those who dine in London have no
relationship to dinners at the American
embassy, and that inasmuch as the
nation he represents is dry and this
fits in with his personal habits, no good
reason exists for continuing the prac-
tice of serving wine or liquor upon the
embassy tables. That he and Sir Esme
do not see eye to eye is patent.
A sufficient period has elapsed since
the pronouncement at the British en-
bassy to indicate that there is little or
no disposition on the part of other
diplomatic representatives to this coun-
try to follow Sir Esme's lead. What
the reaction on the part of President
Hoover's representatives in other for
eign capitals to the Gen. Dawes innova-
ton may be remains to be seen. But
interesting possibilities in the matter
of adherence to national and individ-
ualistic proclivities suggest themselves.
And not the least of these is the pos
sible solution of that sporadically
burning question of the allegedly nee
essary relationship of private incomes
to the holding of diplomatic. posts by
Americans abroad. For whatever the
moral effect of the Generals ruling may
be, it will doubtless have a happy sig
nificance to numbers of our potential
diplomats whose purses are leaner than
their ambitions, and who by following
the example now set will be able to go
farther if less high on Canada Dry
than ever they could on Paul Roget.
Budgets for entertaining on the new
Dayes plan offer admirable opportunity
for retrenchment, and it is even pos
sible that on the indicated basis there
will not be any entertaining to be done.

Citizens Advice ON Zoning.

While the Zoning Commission will
continue to bear the responsibility in
whatever decision it finally reaches in
regard to amending the zoning regula-
tions to permit location of fire engine
houses, police stations, Fairgrounds, rec
reation centers and public swimming
pools in residentially zoned areas, the
commission has taken sensible step in
seeking the advice of q committee of
citizens before making that decision.
The commission is confronted with
the necessity, on the one hand, Of stra-
logically placing fire engine houses and
police stations where they will best serve
the largest number of citizens and in
some instances the recommended 10
cations have been in residential areas.
On the other hand, the placing Of such
institutions in residential areas in ef-
feet means the introduction OF nui-
sances that will destroy the value of
surrounding property for residential
purposes. Representatives of the Board
of Trade, the Real Estate Board, the
Federation of Citizens Associations
Operative Builders Association and the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission will form a special COM
mittee to investigate the general prob
lem and to advise the zoning Com
mission on the best solution.
It is believed that local sentiment
generally favors confining fire engine
houses and police stations to COM
mercial areas. Such institutions as
Fairgrounds recreation centers, SWIM
ming pools and pumping stations should
be dealt with separately as objections
to their location In residential areas
are not so pronounced. II no advan-
tageous sites for fire engine houses
and police stations remain in COM
merciai areas, and that Is q situation

a trifle odd to begin to sew at mid
night?
irene must have forgotten to give
her sewing machine any oil for the
| past decade. because 1t makes con-
| founded racket It rasps and wheeZes,
sounding for all the world like an
ancient model of flivver
| In the still, sultry night comes a
sound of toll as Irene bends daintily
over her work. She is making sun
back" dress, in which she will appear
to great advantage.
Perhaps the poor creature couldn't
get around to 1t until this hour, and
,, now must labor far, far into the night
in order that she may display her
shoulder blades to an admiring world.
If she would sew continuously, one
wouldn't mind it: but no, she stops
every now and then. Blessful peace
settles over the community. He who
believes in taking hot night quietly
sighs with relief.
Maybe she is through!
Whir-r-r-r-r-r-r-r!
Not chance. Irene sews away on
her sewing machine until it groans and
creaks in every cog and fiber.
Irene intends to sew until the cows
come home-or until the milkman comes
around, a more metropolitan phrase
undoubtedly.
Whir-r-r-r-r-r-r-r!
One wouldn't wish Irene any hard
luck, Of course, but If the thing would
only blow up what fun it would be!
X X X
No sooner has Irene laid her sewing
machine away to a well deserved rest
than the bachelor girls tune up
They are entertaining a priced male
on the back porch, and he has such a
way with him. Every few minutes one
or the other of the girls lets, out a
shrek OF merriment which travels over
the moon. 1t is no wonder then, since
their laughter possesses such bounding
qualities, that it bores its way into a
hundred pairs Of sleeping ears and
causes strong men to wake with a
start.
1t is now am. The, ordinary noises
have ceased; even the bachelor girls
have stopped laughing. Now one can
sleep peacefully. But from experience
one realizes that some honest, whole
some noise may crop up at any minute.
1t is hot night. and there is always
some one whose idea of combating heat
is to do it with noise, in much the
same way that savages beat upon drums
and implore rain with much din.
Who will it be? What sort of noise
Will they make? The curious inVeSti-
gator of human nature as it is waits
patiently for some noise to begin. Is
he to be disappointed? Is quiet to
reign?
No, he is not to be disappointed, nor
are peace and quiet to reign. Some
musical persons begin a piano and
violin duet. Their performance is cred
liable, too, but the appreciative faculty
OF the listener is asleep If none Of the
rest of him is.
He would not relish Kreisler at such
an hour. He wonders II Irene and her
sewing machine were not preferable,
after all. She at least was doing
something useful In the world. Yes,
Irene and her sewing machine make a
prettier music at midnight, If music
there must be, than Drdla's "Serenade. -
Such noisy comparisons help make
the hot night cooler, and If they do not
bring sleep at least tend to amuse the
waking mind.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRAcEWELL.
Heat and noise are Summer birds of
a feather which flock together with a

Heat and noise are Summer birds of
a feather which flock together with a
vengeance.
Come obscure relationship between
the two increases the noise level of a
the thermometer.
Undoubtedly that is one way OF
handling the heat from a purely per-
sonal standpoint.
In this matter there are two distinct
lines of action open to the individual.
The first is to be as quiet as posi-
BILE, in the hope that one will thus
become as cool as may be.
The second is to make as much
noise as the law allows Cor doesn't
allow. in the persistent hope that one
will forget the heat"
Devotees Of each method swear that
their way is the only way to hot
weather salvation, and in this they are
not unlike most enthusiasts.
The man who owns one brand OF
motor car often declares that all other
makes are tin, and he who is the proud
possessor of an apartment does not
understand why any one would desire
TO own an individual residence.
Such little disagreements make the
world go round, so they say. At any
thus noisier, or more noisy, whichever
it is.
If one cannot sleep on a hot night
the best thing to do is to make the best
of it. This is such a simple remedy
that most people never think of 1t.
They fret and fume and mentally
curse the heat, although such line
of action but makes them the hotter
If they would begin little game which
we shall explain to them, the world
would appear cooler at once, since
whatever tends to amuse also works to
lower temperatures, This is a dis
covery which has not yet found its way
into books of science, but no doubt
will when the effects of the human
mind on bodily heat are thoroughly
probed.
The game is simply this: Listen for
all the noises which watt in and out,
instead of accepting them as they come.
In other words, put everybody's noise
to work for you. This will be cooling
in itself, since it takes the mind off
the heat and puts it on noises.
Ordinarily noise has no tempera-
ture. We do not ask If neighbors
radio is hot or cold, but whether it is
loud or soft, whether it is low-pitched
or high-pitched.
If it is loud, we curse him, and If it
is low we bless him, especially If it is
after 10 o'clock. The nearer the hands
of the clock approach to midnight the
more moot the state OF. his receiver
becomes.
Noises have no temperature.
! That is why their contemplation
coolS the one who contemplates. And
rot only does such meditation remove
the mind from a consideration of hot
and cold. as such. but it gives the mind
something to work on
In other words, when the mind Is
considering noise it is not considering
heat, and when the mind is off heat
the silly body doesn't really know how
hot it is.
So much for the mastery of mind
over matter!

tens of millions before its beneficent

There is the $5oo,0oo,oo0 revolving
credit of the new agricultural market
ing act. There are the immeasurable
millions which Mississippi flood control
will call for. Congress has authorized
the laying down of fifteen modern
cruisers, to cost SIS 100000 apiece, or
so. The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence

When Mr. Hoover year ago was
accepting the Republican nomination
for the presidency, he advocated super
liberal drafts en- the Treasury for farm
relief. His argument was that coun-
try as fabulously rich as the United
States should not, and need not, cavil
at the cost, even if it entailed several
hundred millions of Treasury funds.
There was the courage of the pioneer
in that pronunciamento and the people
ratified it overwhelmingly at the polls.
Distressed agriculture is about to cash
in on it.
American taxpayers want economy in
government. They are assured Mr..
Hoover will see that it is maintained,
though perhaps not always on the
Vermont scale. But they
are also persuaded that in the man
now at the helm the country has a
President who takes no stock in the
theory that economy at all costs is the
best policy.

AH-Night Parking Ban
Is Held Advantageous
To the Editor of The STAR

To the Editor Of The Star
To ban all-night parking in Wash
ington will have many advantages.
It will help to decrease the number of
accidents. There viii be fewer cars
stolen. More stolen cars will be re-
covered and in shorter time. There will
be less work for the Police Department.
Many wrecks" now on the streets will
be sent to the junk pile.
Clearing the streets of cars at night
also will help to keep them more clear
in the daytime, as many users will
permit their cars to remain in the
garage until such time as they are
actually needed. Thus. with the streets
mere free from parked cars, daytime
traffic, will be improved Children and
others will not be so liable to dart from
the sidewalks between line of closely
parked machines.
All-night parking is an invitation to
the car-stealer and the joy-rider. Both
are menace to the safety of the
community. as they operate motor cars
In reckless manner. With less work
for the theft department of the police.
the officers of this department can be
used to advantage for other traffic pur-
poses.
There are hundreds of cars of such
little value and In such deplorable
condition for operation with safety that
their owners would not be justified in
spending money for garage facilities.
Such cars would likely be disposed of or
junked and thus Washington streets
would be freed of machines that are
about ready to fall to pieces, having
poor brakes, bad lights, dangerous steer
ing apparatus, etc.
There would be less noise at night and
in the early morning, especially in front
of apartment houses. Cars parked in
garages would be started in garages.
Garage facilities can be provided for
every automobile in Washington. The
large public garage would come into
use in neighborhood sections where there
is little room for the small private
garage. The present large number of
small garages in alleys, now vacant
would be easily rented and more would
be built in every available space. Other
large cities have long cared for their
garage problems. Washington will be
able to do the same.
There are more advantages to be
gained from banning all-night parking
in Washington than there are obiec-
tions to be found against it,

Coalition.

The stage has now been set for Bit
ter contest In Virginia for governor.
1ha Republicans of the Old Dominion
Meeting in convention at Richmond last
night nominated as their candidate for
governor DIR. william Moseley Brown,
the choice also of the anti-Smith DEM
-ocrats for that Office. 1t is coalition
similar to that which carried the State
for President Hoover last November
against Alfred E. Smith, the Democratic
nominee for President. In the coming
campaign, however, the coalition of Re-
publican and independent Democrats
will support a Democrat for Office, as
DR.. Brown has always been Democrat.
until he broke away from the party last
year and opposed the election of former
Gov. Smith.
How the coalition will function 1t is
too early to predict. The Democrats
still have to name their candidate at
their primary on August 6. The reg
ulars insist that the issue which car
ried the State for Hoover and against
Smith last year is dead issue; that
the Democrats will not be divided over
prohibition and religion as they were
in 1928. The regulars also are count
ing on the race issue to consolidate the
Democratic forces again this year.
They believe, too, that the recent pub
lication of stock deals engaged in by
Bishop James Cannon, jr., leader Of
the anti-Smith Democrats, will have
an effect adverse to the coalition can
didate.
The decision of the Republicans to
support the independent anti-Smith
Democratic nominee for governor ap-
pears to be good political strategy. The
election Of DR.. Brown as governor,
should it happen, would be a much
more severe blow to the Democratic
organization Of the State than was the
defeat of the Democratic Smith electors
last year. Furthermore, it would en-
phasize still further the split which has
come in the Democratic party of vir-
ginia as result of the nomination CT
Alfred z. Smith at Houston year ago.
There would be little talk then Of
return Of the anti-Smith Democrats to
the old party fold. Rather the result
would be permanent coalition with
the Republicans. Distinctly this should
inure to the benefit of the G. o. P. i'll
Virginia, for under such conditions the
tendency in the end would be for the
independent Democrats to become Re-
publicans rather than for the Republi-
cans to become independent Democrats.
In their platforms and in their con-
vention speeches the Republicans and
the anti-Smith Democrats have at
tackled without gloves the administra-
ton Of affairs in Virginia under Demo-
cratic rule. They have both adopted
as slogan Smash the machine!" Both
charge excessive expenditures of the tax
payers money, ineficiency and machine
rule. Altogether the prospects are for
lively campaign.
