Department OF PEACE
Is URGED BY RABBI
Washington Hebrew Congregation
Told Good Could Be Accomplish
ed in New Government Branch.

Establishment of Department Of
Peace" with Secretary of Peace at
the head Of 1t, who would be member
Of the Presidents cabinet, was advo-
Gated by Rabbi William F. Rosenblum
before the Washington Hebrew Congre-
CATION Friday night.
The address was partly in answer tc
the suggestion recently made by Sec
rotary Of War Good to the American
War Mothers that the War Department
might include among its duties a study
Of the means Of advancing peace.
Due to the whole nature of its or
ganiSation and the duty incumbent
upon the department to maintain a
state Of military preparedness. Rabbi
Rosenblum considered the suggestion
technically impractical. He suggested
the Department of War be renamed
the Department of National Defense,
In order to eliminate so far as possible
the use Of the word war" and encour-
age people to think in terms of peace.
The duty Of Department of Peace"
would be to undertake study of the
causes making for war, as we'll as cor
recting them and creating international
cooperation and good will.
A gift of $4,000 had recently been
made to the Hebrew University at
Jerusalem by an anonymous donor for
the creation of a chair of international
peace, Rabbi Rosenblum declared.

DAMAGE FROM
WHITE ANTS IS
EASY TO AVOID

precaution which is important
in some localities, is the prevention
of termite damage Termites, often
called the white ants, are insects Of
tropical origin, whioh may be found
in the western and southern parts
of the country. Termites to con
tinue their activity must maintain
a contact with Iaoist soil or other
sources of water supply.
The following simple prccaution
will prevent termite damage, and
also practically insue against decay.

COST OF HOUSE
IMPORTANT TO
HOME BUILDER

Naturally, cvGy owner wants TO
klow how much his house will cost
or. in other words, what is the best
house he can buud with the amount
Of mouey he has TO spend. TO de-
termine this is ret particularly sim
ple. but there are some general rules
which will be OF, heldp.
The more closely the shape of the
house resembles that of cube the
lower will be the cost. By this Is
meant, that if there are to DE eight
rooms all on one floor, as i'll a bun
calow. the cost will be greater than
if the house were to be of two
stories with four rooms on each
floor This is because the bunga,
low type requires greater area OF
wall and roof space than is required
for the more compact, two story
type. -.
The many items of inside finish
also have great effect on cost
Chcap materials should not be used
lust because the arc cheapest. II
they are used, it should be because
they will give ali the service re.
ouircd. When Il IS necessary to cut
Gown on the cost III every possible
way, saving shou Il be made where
il can be done without hurting the
value. Never stint those parts sub
iccted to outside weather conditions,
such as the roof and exterior walls.
II is here that the services of an
architect are of great value. lie Is
an expert on design and materials
and can best decide where cost
should be cut an. where only the
best is good enough. Many persons
have the idea that architects work
is merely TO make the house look
prettv-but his leal job is to see
that it is properly designed from
construction standpoint and that the
quality of all materials is adequate.
But the cost OF the house should
not be considered merely in terms OF
how much it costs to build. He
member that ,,.ouse is built to 1--we
in and its real ccst is the expense
per wear of living in that house.
This yearly cost includes interest on
the amount invested as represented
bv the first cost, and includes in
addition, repairs and painting. 1t is
not ALWAYS the l.Cuse of lowest first
cost which is the one that costs the
least to live in year after year.

Taxis Should Stop Cruising
or Yield Parking Spaces,
Allen Declares.
BY u. J. ALLEN,
Member METROPOLITAN Police Force.

= ~ De
Member Metropolitan Police Force.
The traffic directors ONCE recently
found it necessary to petition the Dis
trict Commissioners for permission to
ban parking on the south side of F
street between Thirteenth and Four
tenth streets northwest.
They set forth as reason for their
request that they hoped this proposed
ban would help to relieve some of
the present congestion that exists on
F street at certain periods of the day.
No doubt this move will meet with the
hearty approval of all motorists who
have attempted to drive on F street
for some time past.
= F Street Difficulties.
The difficulties an average motorist
encounters while attempting to drive on
F street, as well as the snail's pace
he is usually forced to proceed at, are
too well known to need repetition here.
Sufficient to say that he not only
next to impossible to find a parking
space as well.
This parking problem in the down.
town section is no inconsequential one.
It is a grave problem that vitality
affects the prosperity Of all Of the
downtown stores. It is self-evident
truth that the more motorists are in
convenienced downtown the more OF
them will patroniZe less congeSted sec
tions. You only have to take an hours
drive to see how far such movement
already has progressed.
Where millions and millions of dollars
are invested in building sites that de-
pend upon retail trade for their chief
value, you can easily see that anything
which might affect the general public's
regard for that particular section Is q
very serious thing.
1t doesn't take much sometimes to
turn the tide of popular favor first
one way and then the other. There
are plenty of towns and cities where
the central locale of the business dis
trict has changed radically in very
few years. One of the most striking
examples of this that I know Of, &C.
CURED in the city where was reared,
Elmira, N. Y. For great many years
in Elmira, the main business district
principally was on West Water street,
but in recent years 1t has been changing
to an adjoining street called North
the, transition is almost complete. The
reason is not hard to discover. West
Water street is narrow and 1t was usual
= ly congested with cars, while North
Main street is broad and Is much more
adaptable to driving and parking.
Goes to Prove Point.
Which all goes to prove that the
automobile and its parking and driving
problems play no small part in the
prosperity of certain business districts.
There are very few who find them
selves required to go downtown often
but what have given the subject mem
toned in the foregoing some thought.
So when the automobile editor of The
Sunday Star suggested to me that I
spend some time on r street and in

the vicinity and see what could learn,
was only too glad to do so.
Well, learned a few new things
as well as seeing other things to con-
firm my previous opinions on the same
subjects.
However, came to the conclusion
after some time spent observing things
myself and also seeking the opinion OF
some of the policemen whose duty it is
to direct traffic on F street that there
is but one thing needed to relieve, the
present congestion. And that is to
put ban on this strictly taxicab habit
of cruising" or Grabbing" as it is
known in public circles.
There is absolutely no need of all this
present procession of taxicabs on F
street. In the first place. there isn't a
legitimate call for one-tenth of the
number that are usually to be found
there, and, in the second place, they all
have plenty Of parking space assigned
to them now. Just around the corner
from F. street will be found q dozen
different cab stands; and usually

CAR PRODUCTION
| GAINS IN AUGUST
Cram Report Indicates Re.
neWaI of Higher Lsvel
of Operation.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special DISPATCH 70 The Star.
DEROIT, Mich, September Fig.
ures released by car manufacturers
covering August production In nearly all
instances showed marked gains over the
previous month and over August, 1923,
according to ,. II. Cram, president Of
Grams Automotive Reports, Incor-
porated.
The increased output marks the def.
mite renewal of the higher level Of oper.
ations preceding the Summer decline
nounced for September point to the
further increase Of operating schedules.
The greater activity will be found In
all price divisions. but will be most
prominent in the high-priced field. The
medium and low priced cars will ex-
perience Lesser acceleration.
For the most part, the manufacturers
operated on unchanged levels during
the concluding Of August. One or two
increases In schedules instituted this
week were Offset to some extent by .
slight reduction BY one company and
the temporary suspension OF operations
by another.
The step-ups were made by plants
manufacturing high priced cars. An
other company in this class IL now In
production on q new line to Be intro
duced shortly and dealer sampling al
ready is under way. The plant has not
curtailed operations because Of this, but
continues to operate close to capacity
and probably will extend activity to
that point once the new line has made
its appearance.
The general demand in the field con-
tinues favorable and prospects are for
an active Fall business. Nothing has
been done in the way Of reducing
stocks, however, and the current Stua-
ton indicates q tendency for them to
increase. Improved farm prices con-
stttute an important factor In the OUT

they will be empty. Yet no one else
dare park on them under penalty Of
the law.
Go to Stand for Cab.
Some people will probably say, Of
course, that the only time they use
cabs is when it is raining, and at such
times they like to be able to hail one
without walking too far. Well, the an
swer to this Is that If taxicabs were
forced to remain on their stands until
they were hailed, and the stands al
lowed to remain in their present loca-
tions-no one would have to walk far.
And what is more-people wouldn't be
yelling at every cab they saw passing.
Instead, they would proceed to the
nearest cab stand, and If a cab wasn't
on the stand, they would only have to
wait few moments because cabs would
be forced under the new ruling to re-
turn to their stands. Also it seems to
me that this would be a more dignified
manner of securing cab. Besides, 1t
could not possibly work hardship on
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-09-08

the taxicab drivers because Just as
many people would be sure to ride, and
maybe more.
Under the present system you find
p street congested with taxicabs all
the time. Sometimes there are as many
as ten cabs to one private car.
But the number Of hacks on the
street Is not the biggest inconvenience
by any means. It Is the manner in
which they drive that causes the en-
tire difficulty. according to my observa-
tons.
In order that they may attract trade
and spot any chance fare" who may
be on the sidewalk, they drive as slow
as they can. Nor do they care II you
happen to be behind them, and In a
hurry as well. They have their living
10 make and as long as the other cab
drivers "crab," why each one feels that
he must do likewise. "Why should
be the fall guy?" they viii ask you. "If
the other hack drivers don't stay on
