Kissing Machinery

Now that bushes Of young women
have been measured by machinery and
the results given triumphantiy to q
gaping world, the promoters of such
ballyhoo have gone . step further and
claim to have discovered by q highly
sensitive" apparatus whether blonde or
brunette reacts more quickly to the
kiss of a male. According to press re-
ports the test was held recently in New
York with two blondes and two brunettes
competing. After the ridiculous expert
ment was over. it was announced that
brunette's heart fiuttered during the
OSCILLATION to greater degree than that
Of her blonde colleagues.
Such affairs are an insult to the world
Of science. They prove nothing and are
valueless, besides being rather disgust
ing. 1t is sad commentary on Ameri-
can civilization when people will lend
themselves to explorations of this ma
ture. The use of this apparatus on the
head might, however, well be encour-
aged. It might really prove something
there.

the tearing somersault which threw
him from the side of the ocean into the
deep sands. The American Automobile
Association, under whose sanction the
speed trials we're held, was reluctant to
grant permission for the inexperienced
driver to take charge Of the most power
full car ever constructed, but yielded
after Bible had demonstrated ability UP
to 100 miles an hour When he crashed
he had reached his topmost speed. and
it was this that proved his undoing.
Probably the most tragic figure in yes
terday's accident was the newsreel cam
eraman who died in line of duty. When
the careening car started its dash to-
ward him after discarding its pilot
Traub tried to Jump clear, but the heavy
sand retarded his progress and he was
struck down.
Tie speed trials are ended for the
year, but a lesson has been learned
from them which will never be forgot
ten. Inexperience, questionable design
and high speed can never be partners,
and not only should drivers be carefully
examined as to their capability before
they are allowed to undertake this most
hazardous test, but cars should be most
carefully checked so that piece of
junk" as Whites car has been char
acterized, would not be allowed to CON-

English Labor Parly's
Arms Policy Defended

To the Editor Of The Star:
I should like to make some remarks
about recent article which I saw in
your paper on the attitude of Ramsay
Macdonald and of the English Labor
party as whole during their period
of Office toward paciism and disarnla-
ment.
The writer of the article accuses Mr.,
Macdonald of hypocrisy in criticizing
the American naval program since he
was responsible for the introduction into
the English Parliament of bill pro-
viding for increased naval ornaments
In 1924. 1t is difficult to believe that
the writer, though obviously acquainted
with the circumstances in which the
Labor party came into power and OF
its legislation with regard to arma-
ments. should be apparently ignorant,
If not Intentionally oblivious. of the
fact that this legislation constituted an
enormous curtailment of the ornaments
proposal which had been put before
the House by the Conservatives at the
end of the previous session.
These proposals were principally the
building of 20 new cruisers and
the construction of the Singapore naval
base at an estimated cost of $50, 900, 900.
The Labor party on taking Office
threw out the Singapore project un-
conditionally, and reduced the number
Of the cruisers from 90 to 7. 1t
Is mere casuistry to pretend that the
cruisers scheme thus reduced was an
act of militarism on the part of its
sponsors. Had the Labor party at
tempted any greater reduction. it would
not have remained in power five
minutes, and would not have been in a
position to exercise the very beneficial
influence which it did on the European
situation during the early part of 1924,
particularly in the matter of the oc-
cupied Rhineland territories 1t is, to
say the least, ungracious to misrep-
resent and then cavil in this way at
poilcy which was dictated by considera-
tons OF obvious eXpediency.

The Income Tax.

On this day the American citizen
digs deep into his pocket and renders
unto Caesar the things that are
Caesars, such things taking the tangi-
BILE form of dollars and cents which go
into the payment of his income tax.
With an outward show of much dis
tress and some grumbling, but with a
deal of inward satisfaction over his
good fortune at being able to pay an
income tax. those citizens who have
put off until today and tomorrow what
should have been done at least a
month ago are busy sealing their en-
velopes and putting them in the mails
to receive the magic post mark proving
that they were mailed before tomorrow
midnight. After that time Uncle Sam
becomes disagreeable over the delay
and begins to take added tribute,
The citizens and corporations filing
their income taxes and profits taxes
for this year are furnishing little
more than half the revenue that Is re-
CURED to maintain their Government.
In every community, except one. the
citizens paying these taxes receive from
the Government. In return, a voice in
the making of the laws which govern
them and a guarantee that they will
enjoy all of the rights and privileges
of n citizen
The one excepted community is the
District of Columbia, whose citizens are
turning into the Federal Treasury In
the form Of income taxes and profits
taxes more than the citizens of any
one of nineteen sovereign States; more
than several combinations of six and
more States. but whose rights as citi-
zens are less than those enjoyed by
their brown brothers, the Filipinos.
washington's income and profits taxes
this year will be something more than
seventeen million dollars. If the Fed
eral Governments lump-sum con-
tribution of nine million dollars to-
ward maintaining the Federal Capt.
tai were deducted from this amount
there would still be eight million dollars
left for distribution among the States
In the form Of Federal aid to road
building, care Of babies, stock improve
ment and food control and the recla-
nation Of waste land for farmers.

Gen. Dawes would welcome the ora
torical opportunities Of our London en-
bassy. That he would seize them with
credit to himself, honor to hts country
and benefit to Anglo-American COM
radeship cannot be doubted.
Dawes would at least be an outspoken
American spokesman in London. Pussy
footing is not in his lexicon. Brass
tacks are his favorite raw material. AS
all the world knows, current relations
between the two great English-speaking
peoples are capable Of improvement. 1t
is more than possible that the spirit OF
vigorous, courageous initiative Of which
Charles Gates Dawes is an exponent
is just the thing required to lift the
Anglo American situation out Of Its
present unsatisfactory and even men
acing condition to the level Of a sane
and safe understanding.
If it should be vouchsafed to Gen.
Dawes to strike such a blow for world
peace, he would make doubly and trebly
sure the already substantial place he
has made for himself in the history OF
both hemispheres.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEVELL.

Disuse of the brain might well be
advocated upon such days.
Who would care to think when the
first robin sings, and the day is warm
and the first crocus blooms in the front
yard?
Then. If ever. come inclinations to
join those perfect philosophers VINO
gave up everything TO SO fishing
The mind becomes. for the time be-
ing. a mere mirror in which Is reflected
what one sees and hears and feels.
The brain is no longer an entity, but
something which functions merely be-
cause the skin is impressed with GER
tain sweetness. because the eyes take
in blue and yellow and green, because
the heart sWells to mystery yet un-
solved.
Who gives a whoop for his brain to-
day?
Let no bright. uncouth person face
tiously inquire who has brain or how
can one give up thinking who never
had thought, or how many persons
would be affected.
These sneery remarks bound off our
tough, roughneck hide as if We had
been species of rhinosceri.
Today, as the first real Spring
envelops the District of Columbia we
freely admit that we never think and
hope we shall never have to think again.
Thinking is nuisance. bother, an
action which might we'll be left to Of
flee boys and such others as sit i'm
pressively IN outer offices.
Their task In life evidently Is to make
callers cool their heels as long as posi-
BILE, or to make them feel as small as
possible.
Let their gigantic brains cleave closely
to their heroic endeavors. Many time
and oft have we suffered, as no doubt
the reader has, at the hands Of such
intellectual specimens.
We particularly recall Con such a
pleasant day when we have given over

dark complexion, who locked for all the
world like Napoleon.
Him we could never get past. and we
have heard others insinuate that they
loved him equally we'll. Time took him
away from Washington: we wonder
where he is now. But no matter where
he Is, he is holding the gate against

much.

Recall the great philosophers who
have, in no uncertain terms, intimated
that thinking was task in which the
human race incautiously got itself
inmeshed in the beginning, since when
there has been little possibility of es-
cape, except upon certain rare occasions
and upon certain days-such as this
one for instance
Even the most prideful intellectual
will admit that there are certain times
when no one thinks and no one wants
to think, such mental ebullitions as
take place are Grass action and reaction,
emanating from other centers, and hav-
ing little to do with cerebration.
When the band comes down the street
and everybody yells 'Hurrah!" there Is
very little thinking to it all, but every
one enjoys it just the same So through

Ambassador Dawes?

Circumstantial reports are current
that Gen. Charles G. Dawes is to be-
come President Hoover's Ambassador
to Great Britain. There could hardly
be a happier choice. In some respects
there could not be timelier or more
important one.
European politics is about to be re-
modelled on the basis of a revised
Dawes plan. Preparations will continue
for years to come-certainly IN the I'M
mediate future-to be paramount in
ternational issue and one In which the
United States, as Europe's creditor, has
q tremendous stake. The chief author
of the Dawes plan enjoys great pres
tige In every Old World capital. As the
American envoy to the Court of ST.
James. he would command instant and
uninterrupted respect and be tower
of strength in times of stress or con-
troversy growing out of reparations.
The former Vice President has rep
utat;on for explosive eloquence. The
Senate had another and farewell taste
of it when Gen. Dawes delivered his
brief valedictory on March 4. Il take
back nothing!" he declared at the end
of a parting thrust at the unlimited
debate traditions of the assembly, which
he began by scolding, and remained TO
tolerate.
Our British cousins expect and like
matchmaking American Ambassadors.
They especially like them when they
are plain speaking men. Since Anglo
American relations have long been re-
garded at London as unbreakable,
though now and then they seem brittle,
John Bull looks upon Uncle Sans rep
resentative on the Thames literally as
a spokesman. Lowell, Bayard, Hay,
Choate, Page and Davis are remembered
in Britain less for their purely diplo-
matte achievements, eminent as these
often were, than for their cultured con-
tributions to public discussion. II the
Britons could have their way, the Amer
lean Ambassador would employ most
of his time laying British corner stones,
unwilling monuments, addressing uni
versity commandments and making
after-dinner speeches.

speech on the rostrum OF the Senate

Death and Speed.

Death, grim spectator for the past
week at the world speed trials on Day
tona Beach, Fla, came into its own yes
terday. Lee Bible, an obscure and In
experienced racing driver, took J. M.
Whites monster car to the beach in an
attempt to break the record of 231
miles an hour set few days ago by
Maj H. o. D. Segrave Of England. But
death rode in the cockpit with him. and
as the 36-cylindered l,5o0-horsepower
machine shot down the hard packed
sands at better than 200 miles an hour
1t was ready to take advantage Of his
slightest slip. And, at the end Of the
measured mile, when the swerve toward
the ocean came, 1t chortled in glee and
started the crafty careening machine
toward the sands where Charles Traub,
a newsreel cameraman, was busy re-
cording the tragedy. So yesterday at
Daytona Beach death claimed the lives
of Lee Bible and the man who would
have pictured the scene.
Last year, when Ray Keech In the
same car that carried Bible into eter-
nifty yesterday, created the speed record
of BOT miles an hour, Frank Lockhart.
as daring and skillful man as ever
sat behind the tiny windshield of a
racer, was killed on the beach attempt
ing to match it in his special Stutz.
It was different, however. in yesterdays
accident. The seven-ton Triplex was
at best an unwieldy machine to handle.
Its three motors gave 1t brute power to
attain high speeds, but its design did
not conform to accepted racing stand
ards and its steering arrangement was
such that the wheels could not be turned
more than three or four inches out of
the straight line. Into this monster
Lee Bible, with comparatively no ex-
perience, was put, and the combination
of lack Of skill in driving and awk-
wardness of operation was fatal.
Lockhart was killed just as any other
expert might be killed at even lesser
speeds. A front tire blew out, which
spelled death to the driver. Bibles
