THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

The name of Kate Greenaway is not
as we'll known today as it was quar-
ter of a century ago when the toy
books" she created we're in their heyday.
Yet because her drawings were time
less in value, possessing a quaint beau
ty and charm her books still exert an
undeniable influence. Whenever you
see a drawing of a child, especially II
there be something about it which
seems to speak Of innocence, you may
know that you are looking at the work
of disciple of Miss Greenaway.
Wherever you may happen to run
across one of her small books, you may
be sure that it will attract your atten-
ton. although the name of the Illus
traitor may be only name to you.

Recently we came into possession of
a copy of Kate Greenaway'S Birthday
Book one of the four which made the
Englishwoman famous, and which net
ted her 5000 pounds sterling.
II is about inches square, contain
ing II typical Greenaway illustrations
in color. one for each month, and hum
dreds of what might be called thumb
nail sketches, one for each day in the
year.
The verses for each day are by Mrs
Sale Barker The book was published
by the London house, George Rout-
ledge e. Sons.
The binding Is half-limp black leather,
the pages have gold edges and the front
cover also in gold, shows two children
playing battledore and shuttlecock

Kate Greenaway was born in 1916
and died in 1901. Her father was a
draughtsman and engraver on wood
Miss Greenaway's water color drawings
were first exhibited in 1858 in London.
Her Christmas cards. in her typical
manner, made what today would be
called "a great hit" The subjects
were young girls, children, flowers and
landscapes.
Under the Window" published in
1879, was the first of her illustrated
books to become the vogue Her share
of the profits on this venture was 1,13O
pounds. 1.-THE Birthday Book" Moth
er Goose" and Little Ann" followed.
The quaint beauty of design and
charm of draughtsmanship won instant
recognition, not only from the general
public, which always knows what 1t
likes, although 1t may not know why,
but also from great critics, such as
John RuSkin.
The shy. modest English girl had
managed to do what all popular illus
traitors want to do-create a style
of their own.
In reviving the quaint costumes of
the beginning of the nineteenth CEN
tury for her pen children. Miss Greena-
way made a trade mark for herself
which was unmistakable.
The TX. c." in the left-hand corner
was unnecessary-every one could tell
a Kate Greenaway drawing just by
looking at it!
Her children were compared to those
of Reynolds her flowers to those OF
Botticelli. England and the United
States began to think of children in
the terms of her drawings, and it be-
came fashionable to declare, even if II
were not exactly true, that Kate
Greenaway dressed the children of two
continents"

Miss Greenaways work undoubtedly
shows the Botticelli influence.

Birthday Book" is an especial favorite

Senator Bingham's Findings.

senator bingham InulHSS'
Senator Binghanl's analysis of the
Bureau of Efficiency's findings on fiscal
relations is in general effect encourag-
ing to the District While The Star has
always commended that the proposal to
place Uncle Sans contribution to Capt.
tai building and maintenance on the
basis of Uncle Sans liability as tax
payer Is unwise and threatens continued
controversy over the moot issues in
volved, Senator Bingham has indicated
that If such basis is adopted, in fair
ness to the District it must be followed
throughout. In other words, the queS-
ton does not rest merely upon the
liability of the Federal Government as
a municipal taxpayer, estimated on the
taxable value of Federal realty and
personally holdings in the District
alone, but includes such kindred issues
as the liability of the Federal Gov
eminent on account of the excess
exemptions of real property and the
liability of the Federal Government on
account of excess park acquisition and
maintenance, the last two items being
occasioned by the fact that the Ma
tional Capital is located in the District
On such basis. and without con-
sidering the all-important fact that
the omnipotence of Congress over the
District Is coupled with its exclusive
responsibility for Capital development,
Senator Bingham reaches two impor-
tant conclusions-frst, that at least
eight hundred thousand dollars over
the lump sum of nine millions are owing
to the District, and second, that the
lump sum should not remain arbitrarily
stationary, but should vary as the value
of the property of the Government
varies.
There are, of course, other considera-
tons than the changing values of Gov
eminent property which should affect
the varying amount of an annual lump
sum contribution, and these can be
taken into account In fixing such an
nual lump-sum contribution, as long as
that plan of financing the District pre-
walls.
The District joins Senator Bingham
In his satisfaction over the fact that
the Bureau of Efficiency report provides
detailed and independent study Of
the taxation and fiscal affairs of all
cities in the United States having an
estimated population Of between three
hundred thousand and one million.
The District feels that its previous con-
tentions relating to the tax burden
borne by local residents are ably up
held by the Bureau of Efficiency. And
1t Is with great satisfaction that the
District notes Senator Bingham's de-
termination to interpret the Bureau of
Efficiency statistics with the same
spirit of impartiality and fairness which
marked their compilation.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Theorizing.
Till Mr.. Einstein came along,
This life seemed like simple song:
But Relatively now makes
A small brain throb with various aches
I thought Ike Newton showed the way
To comprehend the sky's display
OF suns and. comets moving fast.
His teachings fade into the past.
Tiny Electrons, good or worse.
Whirl like the mighty Universe:
Then are obliterated, quite
AS new Theory heaves in sight.
Now everything is said to be
No more than what we Think we see.
Friend Einstein, tell US, on the spot,
Are We All Here, or, Are We Not?
