Romantic ROYAL Rumors.

Inhabitants of Britain and of Scan
dinavia have for ages been In more or
less close contact. They have had their
fuses and feuds and they have had
their ententes and romances, Both royal
and common. The grandfather of the
present Prince of Wales married q
Danish princess and now it begins to
look as If his namesake will wed beau
tiful and charming young scion of the
ruling house of the neighboring country
of Sweden.
"Sea-King's daughter from over the
sea, Saxon and Norman and Dane are
we, but all Of us Danes In our welcome
to thee, Alexandria" sang the poet
laureate in welcome to the princess
about to become the wife of him who
was later King Edward VII. Just how
much actual Scandinavian blood flowed
in the late Queen Dowager's veins would
be hard to determine, for royal strains
are pretty much mixed. It Is certain
| that Princess Ingrid can claim but lit
tie, as she is of the House Of Berna-
dotte, that marshal Of France whom his
Emperor placed on the throne OF
Sweden about O century since. How
ever, In the case Of royalty, nationality
is largely q matter Of viewpoint, Of
training. of tradition and of language
and 1t can safely be said that no ma
tions send out better consorts for SOW
ereigns than Norway. Sweden and Den

lieve that Mr.. Monroe would throw UP
his hands In despair at the color Of
the fresh paint that now adorns 1t. and
the rather startling effect of the wall
paper. There, one is informed, Monroe
wrote his Doctrine" a statement
which would undoubtedly be resented
by John Quincy Adams, who probably
witnessed more Of that document than
Ash Lawn" ever saw or knew about.
But the home of this Every amiable
gentleman" whose greatness was
thrust upon him." is interesting for
its lockwood, If not for its Monroe

Citizen Holds Traffic
Lights Are Confusing

TO the Editor of The Star:
r street northwest, between Seventh
and Ninth, is a one-way east street for
autos, and street cars go east and west.
There are traffic lights on the corners,
which display alternately stop" and
GO" signs. On the northwest corner q
"one-way street sign is also planted
near the ground, but the traffic light
on this corner also shows the word
Go" west. Many motorists watch for
the traffic lights and 60" when go"
flashes without looking for any other
signs. You can't blame a motorist for
using a one-way street west when he
has such conflicting directions given to
him. Hang a red lantern on the "one-
way street" sign and avoid possible &C
cidents Street car men could go by the
traffic light and pass the red lantern on
the "one-way street sign"

Foreign Tariff Protests.

France has formally protested to the
State Department against the proposal
to increase the American tariff on GER
tain French products imported into the
United States. Oficial protests have
also been lodged with Secretary Stimson
by Spain, italy and Persia. In all four
of these countries there are urgent de-
mands for retaliatory action against
American goods. In this hemisphere,
Canada and Argentina are perhaps in
even angrier mood. Altogether more
than dozen different governments
have formally or informally caused it
to be known at Washington that our
projected new tariffs are obnoxious to
them. Objection to the Hawley bills
increases is, like the shot fired at Lex
ington, ringing around the world.
The Senate finance committee has
Just begun hearings with a view to ap-
provaI or amendment of the altitudinous
Hawley measure recently passed by the
House. Senator Smoot and his coll
leagues are bound to weigh carefully
this swelling volume of indignation
which is rising against projected boosts
in the whole American tariff structure.
They viii need to remember that protest
emanates from our best customers, now
our friends but in temper to become
our economic foes.
Congress has specialized, during the
extra session now-perhaps- winding to
q tempestuous close, that it is no re-
Specter of the person or wishes of the
President. Mr.. Hoover's message TO the
session on April 16 specifically admon-
ished moderation In new tariff legisla-
ton, as far as the susceptibilities and
interests Of foreign countries are con-
cerned. None knows better than the
former Secretary Of Commerce what it
can cost the United States II those
susceptibilities are ignored and those
interests inconsiderately violated.
1t goes without saying that America
First" must be the guiding motive Of
our tariff makers. But in needing it.,
they must also be actuated by the rule
of reason. That rule pertains to our
international relations in high degree.
II Uncle Sans vast stake Of ten billion
dollars a year in foreign trade is to be
matntained--to say nothing of expand
ing 1.-THE sooner Congress realizes the
necessity of o square deal for our over
seas neighbors, the better for all con-
cerned.
The Senate finance committee and
the Senate itself have an opportunity,
which amounts to q duty, to see that
American export trade is not hanStrung
by the Hawley-Smoot tariff bin. A
situation has arisen wherein we can
easily cut OF our nose to spite our own
face.

Eat best we may be sure that the
| measure which comes from the Senate
will increase the cost of living. It will
then be up to the President" declares
the New York Evening World (inde-
| pendent). The Columbus, Ohio, Eve
| ming Dispatch Independently sees the
proposed measure as peculiarly near
the veto line" and the Beloit Daily
News CRepublican) is convinced that
President Hoover docs not belong to
the Pennsylvania Grundy school that
regards only the sky as the limit" Yet
the Fresno Bee independently argues:
1.-THE President is supposed to favor
| limited revision only But what is
| limited revision? The proponents of
| the Smoot-Hawley bill claim that its
| reviSionS are limited; indeed that they
are very, very limited. If the President
agrees with them, the bill will ride as
1t is"
Here in New England where protec-
ton is the political gospel" says the
Worcester Evening Gazette (independ-
ent), "the Hawley bill it not hymned
harmoniously. There are discordant
notes. New England approves the treat
ment proposed for textiles, and accepts
as the best obtainable the tariff on
shoes together with its qualifying tariff
on hides. But other provisions come IN
for sincere denunciation.

The Topeka Daily Capital (Republi-
CAM declares that "the Hawley bill dis
tinguishes itself by modifying world
wide criticism and threats of repriSals
against Uncle Shylock,'" and the
Charleston Evening Post (South Caro-
lina) independent Democratic) says:
American industry is no longer i'm
mune to such reprisals as it was before
we developed a great export trade"
The Birmingham News (Democratic) re-
marks: 1.-The Presidents plight is ale
most tragic. BY every instinct of his
nature and his tradition, he hates the
hate-5reeding high-tarih laws enacted
by his party"
The prospect of unlimited debate on
the tariff provisions" in the Senate is
welcomed by the Schenectady Gazette
Independent Democratic), and the i'm
portance of publicity is emphasized also
by the San Antonio Express (inde-
pendent Democratic) and the Haverhili
Gazette Independently.
The South Bend Tribune (independ-.
ent Republican,. looking to changes in
the Senate, holds that "a bill in which
more account is taken of agriculture's
requirements and general national eco-
nomic conditions can be anticipated"
In answer to critics of the measure,
the Lexington Leader (Republican)
maintains: while no doubt some Of
the rates put into the new bill will be
changed before the Senate has finished
its discussion of the measure, most Of
the opposition to the bill as whole
comes from those who object, in fact,
to the policy upon which the act has
been framed But the American people
get IT."

TEHKUMMAH, Manitoulin Island
Ontario, December 25.--Swooping down
from their dens in the tangled under
growth of 1.-THE Rock" huge ridge
which divides this island, wolves are
taking a heavy toll from the sheep in
the vicinity and are rapidly wiping out
what deer survived the hunting season
Never before have the huge beasts been
so plentiful, and, emboldened by their
successful raids, they are drawing closer
and closer to civilization. b., ,s.
Farmers of the district fear that
when Manitowaning and South Bays
freeze over more wolves will cross the
ice from the mainland.
So far efforts to combat them have
been Of little avail. The beasts have
learned by bitter experience how to
avoid traps. Only one has been caught
so far this year.
Hidden securely on '"The Rock" the
dens of the wolves can hardly be reach
ed. Consequently, few trappers ever
get chance to capture the young, and
1t is not until they are capable of run
ming with the pack that they come
down from the hills. BY that time, with
capable leadership, they manage to
avoid the dangers Of the trapline.

Pigeon Survives
Stern Law of Life
By Tail Feather
Parrot Attempts to Dem
Onsirate EvOlutiOnTheOry
to Rescued Visitors.

There is a pigeon pecking away at
crumbs in Lafayette Park today, dis
tinguiShable by few remaining patches
of red paint on his wings. It is there
because it picked the right sort of
benefactor a few days ago when the
law of the survival of the f1ttest missed
him by the mereSt couple of tail
feathers
That pigeon is alive this Christmas
though its benefactor doubts if such a
thing as Christmas enters into its
scheme of things beyond few more
choice crumbs than usual-after riding
three miles or more on the running
board of the machine of a man who
would take the trouble to nurse him to
health.
Finds Injured Bird.
Several days ago Joseph A. Carey,
attorney, drove downtown with Mrs
Carey to see a motion picture. He
parked his machine beside Lafayette
Square. AS he was leaving the machine
he noticed the pigeon, evidently injured,
walking about in the middle of the
street. There seemed to be large
patches of red on him.
Mr.. Carey Shooed the bird under his
machine to give 1t temporary respite
from death beneath the wheels of pass
AAB CdIo. ADOuI TWO hours laLer, start
ing for their home at 3O05 Cathedral
avenue, Mr.. and Mrs. Carey several
times heard sounds as though the car
had picked up piece of newspaper and
1t was Tapping in the wind.
Parrot Registers Jealousy.
Arriving home, Mr.. Carey got out
and investigated. The same wounded
pigeon was on the running board of his
machine. The bird suffered itself to
be picked up and was taken into the
Carey home, much to the disgust of a
pet parrot. Willie, which for many
months has ruled the Carey roost. Will
lie, who has the run of the house, be-
came violently incenSed, and set about
with malice aforethought to demon
strate the law of the survival of the
fittest.
The pigeon slightly cut about the
head, was found to have such a coat
ing OF red lead paint on its wings that
1t could not fly. 1t was rescued after
Willie had plucked couple of tail
feathers.
The parrot was consigned to its cage
and the wounded pigeon was fed and
treated for its hurts.
For three days the pigeon stayed at
the Carey home and gained in strength
and spirits. When 1t seemed well, Mr..
Carey borrowed Willie's cage and took
1t to Lafayette Park, where he sought
the aid of park policemen in bringing
the bird back to full health. He was
informed by the park policeman on duty
