enormous amount Of research. The ma
ture of these infinitely little atomic sys-
TENS which are at the base of matter
is only vaguely understood. They are
outside the perception of the senses,
mechanisms which the scientific mag
nation has found necessary to explain
the behavior of matter.
For all practical purposes. they now
represent the end of the road for physi-
cal experimentation. This, of course,
may not always be the case. 1t is very
likely that in few years science will
have come to profounder reality which
may be interpreted, still temporarily, as
the mother stuff of the universe"

Rollins meant his phraseology to be in

physicist. Considered in this light, he
could hardly have found an institution
better advantaged to carry out the pur-
pose of his bequest and possibly bring

The Tedsration's Unanimity.

Acting as a clearing house OF local
public opinion and serving as an iniiu-
entail faeter in behalf of the welfare OF
the community, the Federation OF
Citizens Associations has complstsa
another year of its existence and has
marked its milestone with the re-elec-
ton of its officers in a most gratifying
spirit of unanimity. This organization,
which is composed of delegates from
the numerous and widely inclusive as
Sociations that represent the neighbor-
hoods and sections of the District, has
demonstrated its value as a factor In
the municipal administration by afford
ing a concentrated reflection of the
judgment and desires of the otherwise
unrepresented citizens of the Capital.
To some degree, as it has been iadis
Gated in the past, its strength and in
fluence for good depend upon the sup
port given to the officers by the dele
gate body. Division has not worked
for the prestige of the federation. and
now that satisfactory combination of
ofacers has been given undivided sup
port for another period of usefulness it
may be expected that the federation
will continue its excellent service, with
even greater zeal and efficiency, for
Washington.
The growth In numbers ana in
strength of the citizens associations
has been a matter Of the greatest
qualification to The Star, which has
from the beginning fostered the de-
velopment OF this form of local ex-
preston Of opinion. From a small start
the system of neighborhood groups,
each devoted to the welfare of the i'm
mediate vicinage, has now become a
far-fung and, through the federation,
well co-ordinated organization of citi-
zens. Through the federation TIA
slight sectional differences are ad-
justed. Through it the constituent
units gain strength from one another

The Stephen Girard fund is haraSsing
those who administer it and proving
one of the examples of frozen charity
which philanthropists are now warned
against
Girard died only a few years ago,
leaving $4,000, 900 to be used for the
care of orphans in institutions. But the
best research in child care now shows
that institutions are no place for chill
dren: that the best thing to do is to
get them out of institutions into home
surroundings as quickly as possible.
That is the policy everywhere now, with
orphans homes being closed in every
State.
But the terms of the Girard bequest
are definite and the money cannot be
used, flexibly, in any way other than
that provided. To put the money where
it was intended, in buildings and insti-
buttons. means continuing practices that
are distinctly mistaken, and 1t means
wasting the money.
Men of wealth feel they have the
right to say how their money shall be
used, even in philanthropy. They are
unwilling to leave the terms In the dis
erection OF trustees, although when that
Is done the bequeSt Is likely to prove
of much more value. That is the way
out, Of course. 1t remains for the bene-
factors to either set up such alter
natives as will always provide a useful
purpose or leave the whole use to trust
ed persons and their successors.

Sheriff Who Brought
Bandits to Bay Lauded
From the Tulsa Daily woeld.

From the Tulsa Daily wosld.
Newspaper readers undoubtedly gath
er from the Lamar, Colo, reports that
real progress is being made there In
cleaning up the bank robbers. The
conviction of three of the principals in
the Fleagle gang was, under all the
circumstances, a remarkably successful
job. At the outset-the murder of the
president and other officials of a Lamar
bank and the subsequent murder of a
doctor witneSS-the clues were very
slender, but country sheriff shamed
all the sleuths by getting his men. Only
one is at large. Death penalties have
been ASSESSED against three. One of the
convicted men was so certain the YER
dict would be carried out that he openly
bid for chance to escape. Two others
have been moved to an irreproachably
safe Jail for detention until execution
day.
Bank robbery Is a terrific evil. There
have been so many unpublished bank
robberies-nany of them accompanied
by murder-that the country was about
to conclude that the robbers had the
best Of everything. They have not. In
telIigent and unremitting man hunts
and stern. natter-o f-fact trials will do
the work the public demands. Now let
the courts and State officials OF Colo
RADIO maintain the record. The Lamar
case is a notable one in many ways and
it may well mark a turning point in
law enforcement and protection of life
and property.

today would be the result of entire
removal Of the conditions which the

while the Monroe, Mich, Evening News
points out that the best insurance
against the ills suggested in the
Carnegie report was written for the
Western Conference when the one-year
residence rule was adopted" The South
Bend Tribune, however, refers to the
time Iowa was disciplined by the con-
ference, and states that IF the
Carnegie report is accurate, the very
schools that held up Iowa to scorn are
themselves guilty of unethical practices"
Occasionally there develop cases
where students are compensated in
some way for their athletic services,
but these exceptions are the ones that
prove the rule" AYERS the Texarkana
Gazette. The Erie Dispatch-Herald
holds that "the really reprehensible
practices can be suppressed, as they
have In the past, by giving them
publicity" The st. Paul Daily News
quotes the Carnegie report as showing
"a swing back to the ideal of amateur
sport" and the Raleigh News and OBJ
vealed in the investigation may call for
some remedial measures in certain
cases."
There is an indehnable lure and

professionalism sports can never COM

Judgment of the Richmond News
Leader, from the most notable prec-
edent, that too much athletics ends in
too little. The Greek games attest this.
AS long as they exhibited only the

people, they were the glory of the

Ohio River Project
Basis of Basin Plea

From the Portland Oregon Daily Journal.
Fifty-two sets of dams and locks built
on the Ohio River cost sl25, 100000.
They were built by the United States
Government and paid for by the United
States Government.
Fifty-two dams and locks on the Ohio
were very great public undertaking
They were built in order to enable mod
ern,, seif-propelled bargcS to navigate
the Ohio River. Congress and the
United states Government thought 1t
well worth while to spend $125, 0UO 900
for baFges to be provided and dams ana
locks to be built to marguerite transpor-
tatien of freight up and down the Ohio
. What about the United States Gov
eminent and the Columbia River? Does
not the United States Government owe
TO the Columbia River and the people
in its vast drainage basin the same
consideration that it owes to the Ohio
/ River and the people Of the Ohio
Valley?
Since Congress and the United States
Government provide, by the expenditure
of millions of public money, Tor barge
NAVIGATION of the Ohio, how can Con-
gress and the United States Govern
meht fail or neglect or refuse to pro-
vide, by use of public money, for barge
navigation of the upper Columbia? II
members of the oregon delegation asked
of Congress and the United States Gov
efhHaeIlt the same treatment that has
been given the people of the Ohio VAL
ley, what could Congress and the United
States Government do but grant the
request?
The Washington Government financed
the Mississippi Warrior barge line, and
Congress legislated for rates and ar
rangements to make that line success
full. Could or would the Washington
Government and Congress do less for
the Columbia River barge line If the
people of the Columbia Basin and Of
Portland requested it?
Finally, If Congress and the Federal
Government thought it worth while,
through large public expenditures, to
establish transportation by barge on the
Ohio, though railroads line the shores
Of the Ohio, wouldn't Congress and the
Washington Government think it also
worth while, through large public ex-
penditures, to provide for transportation
by barge on the Columbia?
Did any people anywhere at any time
ever have so good case with which to
go before Congress and the country as
have the people of the Columbia Valley
and Portland, Vancouver and Astoria In
the matter Of barges on the Columbia?
Did not Congress build and pay for
SO dams and locks on the Ohio River
at cost Of $125,000,000 in public
money?

Opening of New Land
Bids for Population
From the St. Louis Times.

From the St. Louis Times.
A commission of 10 men will try and
tell the Government what to do with
100000 acres of land owned by the
United States, the surface rights of
which have not yet been appropriated.
Under the plan of President Hoover the
surface rights to these lands would be
the land lies. They could then be turned
over for grazing, homesteading and for
the other purposes of agriculture.
Many who may be worrying about the
increase in population and who may
think this country is becoming too
thickly settled will be glad to know that
there are some wide openings left for
the pioneers. 1t would perhaps be worth
the while of some thousands of indi-
viduals packed in cities to watch this
situation by getting their ears to the
ground.

The Mother Stuff.

singular bequest has come to the
Smithsonian Institution - 500 900 for
the study of the mother stun of the
universe and to f1nd out how to make
use of its manifestations for the benefit
of man"
Unless the purpose is more specifically
defined in the will of the late william
H. Rollins of Boston, this phraseology
opens inviting avenues for the philo-
Sophical imagination. Science still is
afar of from the fundamental reality
OF which even the most intricate phe-
nomena of nature may be only super
fetal manifestations. Back of the atom,
the smallest division of matter, are the
presumably immaterial particles OF neg
alive and positive electricity. Matter is
a manifestation comprehensive to the
human senses of the behavior of these
particles. But what lies beyond the
electricity? Mathematical analysis al
ready has provided some intricate con-
cepts. And what is beyond these-pre-
Stunning that they are valid?
1t is long. mystical road back to the
mother stuff" of creation, the nature
Of which so long has intrigued scientists
philosophers and theologians. The
Smithsonian scientists, however, are
likely to stop within the realms of the
practical and devote their efforts to
! further determination of the natural
laws which govern the behavior of the
measurable protons and elections. AL
that lies beyond Is Unreasonable, and
consequently, outside the field Of exact
science. At the best, these call for ar
