| material for removing paint from both
metal and wood surfaces. The cheapest

be taken to remove all Of the caustic
soda from the underlying surface after
using this remover. Caustic soda solu-
ton can be kept In wooden or iron YES
sells. 1t will strip the coating from
| galvanized metal. The other type OF
remover is composed Of mixtures OF al
| colsnl acetone benzol and generally
some wax. This type can be kept in
ordinary metal or glass containers.
Another method of removing paint Is
by use of painters torch.

Ridiculous things along this line,
however, do cause many q hearty laugh

Wisconsin is q vast baronial estate
owned by some rich amateur roughneck.
Before his annual Spring appearance q
faithful guide traverses every foot Of
every trail, holding over his head an
opened umbrella. Behind him marches
another trusty woodsman, armed with a
long and powerful pair of tree shears.
Every branch that so much as brushes
the umbrella is promptly shipped of,
even though 1t may bear fragrant and
beauteous blossoms. The owners devoted
head and hat are saved from danger
and annoyance for that season. Along
stream-sides in England may be found
trees which are completely denuded Of
their lower limbs so thab anglers IasC
to lusty trout headed downstream may
run along the bank and may pass their
rods from left hand to right around the
tree-bole. But then, on this part Of
these particular preserves the fatigued
fisherman, wherever he may be, is met
at precisely four-thirty o'clock by
servant in suitable livery who hands
him a tea-tray. Does he sit on the
ground to partake of these refresh
n1ents? OF course not. There is always
a nice bench nearby. We have had
several angling Presidents and probably
will have more. but probably never one
who wishes his fishing thus adorned
and refined.

Work and Organization.

The Democrats are adopting q new
watchword-"Work and Organization"
Under the direction of Jouett Shouse,
newly appointed chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Democratic
national committee, the party is to
concentrate on national organization,
reaching even to the voting precincts.
If the program is followed out, 1t should
bear results.
This program was outlined by Mr..
Shouse, by Chairman John ]. Raskob
Of the Democratic national committee
and other speakers at q dinner given
here last night by the Jefferson Demo-
cratic Association of the District of
man of the executive committee. Lack
Of permanent organization, with the
need of creating anew in campaign
years an organization TO meet the Re
publican opposition, has been handi-
cap, and costly handicap, in the past.
This is the day of organization. Chair
man Raskob in his address last night
expressed his view of the situation
when he said, ITO man trained In
business the Democratic party's lack
of organization for conducting q ma
tional campaign is appalling"
The Democratic dinner proved an
harmonious affairs. despite rumors Of
discord which preceded it. Great en-
phasis was laid on the fact that the
national organization which is to be
perfected IS not being set up in the
interest of any particular candidate
apr the presidential nomination in 1882.
assurance was given that Chairman
Raskob has no Interior motive In build
ing such an organization. For the first
time in several years 1.-THE Sidewalks OF
New York" was neither played nor sung

sections of the country. Nor was the

The Department Of Agriculture says:
This project is being developed through

this office, and in enlisting new CO.

This is, however, one of the most at
tractive methods of studying birds, and
each station has the opportunity to

knowledge of the different species. II
is, Of course, necessary that prospective
co-operators have sufficient knowledge

posed to dispense with the Liberal or
ganization."
AS to participation in the new gov
eminent, the Detroit News says: 1.-THE
question again arises, as it did in 1924,
whether the Liberal party can survive
this failure to regain an important
share of the electorate" The Utica
Observer-Dispatch, however, points to
one deceptive factor: THE vote itself
was not as decisive as the number of
seats taken by each party. In the
popular vote the Conservatives had
actually more votes than Labor, the
number standing $500, 900 to 8,292, 900.
Although the Liberals get one-fifth as
many seats as the Conservatives, they
cast a vote that was five-eighths as
large. The voting. of course, was by
districts"
There is an instability about the
Labor constituency" declares the Kansas
City Journal-Post, which will require
attention. There are some members who
are as mad as March hares and they
will often get beyond control. Ramsay
Macdonald realizes this and the neces-
sity it brings for his cooperation with
enough Conservatives or Liberals to in
sure constant working majority. With
out such arrangement, the government

election necessary within year."

The Meaning of Commerce.

President Hoover seldom speaks WIFI
out saying something. Yesterday. when
laying the corner stone of the colossal
new Department of Commerce, he
called attention to the true meaning OF
business. "a nations economic life"
the President said, "underlies advance
ment in every other field" Mr.. Hoover
has given automatic form to bare
truth, too little realized in our own
country and particularly not appre-
ciated by an outside world prone to
scott at Americans as mere dollar
chasers.
The President was defining the
ideals" of the Department of Com
merce, which under his seven years OF
secretaryship achieved its. first genuine
Importance and fabulous growth. Mr..
Hoover defined those ideals as efforts
to assist, by cooperation and not by
compulsion, in maintaining and giving
the impulse of progress to commerce
and industry" Given such progress,
the President explained, a peoples ma
terial well-being would be such that it
could contribute to and take part in
sustaining those finer activities which
lead to the intellectual, ethical and
moral improvement Of mankind. In
other words, the more prosperous busi-
ness is, the more that can be done to
make earth better planet to inhabit.
Run down the list of Americas Brob-
dipgnagian benefactions. Contemplate
the tens of millions of dollars repre-
sented by the Carnegie, Rockefeller,
Sage, Hardness and Milbank founda-
lions, to name only those with which
the public Is most familiar. Ponder the
endless philanthropies Of Julius Rosen-
valid. Consider the recent munificencc
Of James Couzens in the domain Of
child welfare. Recall the countless be-
quests and endowments made, and being
made almost every day, by men and
women of wealth in all parts Of the
United States. aggregating kings ran
SONS, for schools, hospitals. colleges
and libraries. Do not forget the for
tunes distributed by the American Red
Cross from emergency to emergency.
Whence sprang the wherewithal for
all this mighty munifcence? It sprang
and springs-from the pockets filled
by the profits Of business. Now and
then big business" Is decried. It was
decried at a political dinner in WASH
ington last night, when a speaker sug-
gested that only big business" had prof.
tied from the five and a half years Of
the Coolidge administration.
Yes, big business" does prosper in
America, but what boon and bless
ing it is for the rest Of the human race
that this is so! Historians are extreme
ly likely to record that the commerce
and industry Of the United States,
which will find so splendid a symbol in
the magnificent new Department of
Commerce Building at Washington, had
one deep. underlying purpose. That
purpose, as President Hoover yesterday
epitomized it, Is to accumulate dol
lars In order that eventually they may
be set rolling to the universal better
ment Of Gods children here and every
where.
That is the business of business.

Sticking to the Principle.

Instead of attempting to rewrite the
1891 estimates and to modify or change
the items submitted by the department
tai heads of the District government, the
Board Of Trade will again center at
tention upon the principle underlying
the annual compilation of the budget.
Instead of merely forwarding to the
Commissioners a critical analysis OF
figures, the Board of Trade again en-
phasizes the necessity for studying the
method by which these figures are ar
rived at. At last nights meeting of the
board of directors, a resolution was
adopted to petition Congress to au-
thorize President Hoover to appoint a
commission Of nationally known ex-
perts to study and to report upon the
fiscal question that makes OF District
appropriations a never-ending subject
for acrimonious controversy.
While the analyses of the estimates
perpared by the Chamber of Commerce
and the Citizens Advisory Council will
no doubt prove of value to the Com
missioners in obtaining the point OF
view of interested taxpayers, too much
stress cannot be laid upon the Board
of Trades contention that the princi-
pie followed in District appropriations
is more important than the amount or
the purpose of the appropriations them
selves. Spokesman may talk themselves
hoarse over the ACCESSIBILITY OF large
appropriations for the schools, OF the
necessity for an airport, Of the desir-
ability of a beautiful municipal center,
of the need for more sewers and OF the
correct policy in street paving. But
such hoarseness is acquired in vain I'M
less these subjects are discussed with q
view to obtaining and distributing reve-
nue. with the twofold purpose Of gov
erning an average American municipah-
ty. with limited means, and Of develop
ing the Capital of the United States IN
accordance with its conception as the
Symbol of America"
The Board of Trade has asked Tor
this new investigation bearing in mind
the fact that others have preceded II;
that while other inquiries in each. in
stance have served to confirm the Dis
trict of Columbia's contentious, the
findings have been thrown overheard
in favor of unfounded theories and con-
tinued unsatisfactory practices on the
part of Congress. In asking Congress
to authorize the President to create
commission Of his own choosing and TO
empower it to investigate conditions
with a view to suggesting scientific
remedies, the board evidently Gets on
the belief that the findings Of such an
impartial body would carry weight and
command respect. 1t would be body
unir fiuenced either by opinion in the
District or in Congress. Its findings
and clear-cut recommendations would
be open to no conflicting interpretations
or juggling Of words.
Such a commission is needed. If its
creation cannot be viewed as desirable
from the point of view of ending need
less controversy between the unrepre-
scented citizens Of the District and their
omnipotent legislators, 1t should be
viewed as one of the necessary steps
in an enlightened era of enthusiasm for
building the American Capital.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Business Doc.
A Business Doctor came around.
We viewed him with respect profound
And told him every little thing
Hard-won Experience could bring.
With faithful labor, in a day,
He learned it. and went on his way.
He figured out some process fair
To save nickel, here and there;
Then vanished, with much knowledge
fraught.
He learned much more than he had
taught.
I catch a car and watch the Clock,
Thanks to the busy business doc.
For him I might be rather strong
II He had brought O Nurse along
With gentle eyes Of liquid gray
To hypnotic our cares away.
He leaves US, when his visits through,
To plod, just as we used to do.

Yesterday, Monday, June 10, was laid
the corner stone of the new Chamber
of Commerce Building. A fine and costly
structure this is to be, taking its part
in the revived dream Of Maj. L'Enfant
for the most beautiful Capital City in
the world. Besides having place In the
long line of dignified and beautiful
buildings that some day win link the

Chamber OF Commerce stands also as a
