Woman S Day

A rather famous artist just con-
descended to make a little spare
cash by painting a picture for a
soap ad. He painted a picture of a
beautifully radiant mother and
child, the inference being that
would We, too, be beautiful as this,
We should scrub yourself with the
particular soap advertised.
The ad did bring in returns, but
of a sort rather unexpected. Hun

I Don't Like It

The company gives forth the
story as tribute to modern morals
and righteous womanhood. Some
how I find it more discouraging and
rather unworthy of modern woman
hood.
It sounds like a straining at a
gnat, a deliberate search for evil
when beauty is offered one. It's
nasty-niceness and the sort of pet
tiness which scourges too many
human beings.

The Roads to Hoover Camp.

President Hoover's camp is nine miles
In the mountains from the nearest
backwoods town. The rugged, tortuous
road is dangerous, especially in wet
weather.
There has been much comment about
the fact that Marines were set to work
improving the Hoover camp site and Its
environs. A company of Army Engi-
neers from the school at Fort Hum
phreys are now building proper APP
proach to the camp.
There should be no adverse criticism.
The President is entitled to any re-
taxation he can get during the trying
Summer days. He has sacrificed him
self for public service. If he chooses to
live in camp within easy access of his
duties in the Capital City to be always
ready for whatever may demand his at
tention, the Nation benefits. No one
in the entire. country should object to
providing every proper facility and
comfort for the high ONCE Of Chief
Executive, the greatest office in the gift
of free people.
Aside from this disposition not tc
stint the President In every convenience
he should have-he should not un-
necessarily be thrown int danger. II

the Germans were more progressive
than the French--so much so that in
all the towns there were real drug
stores"--not uninviting doctors ofdces,
but actual establishments dealing in
sodas and ice creams.
So when the troops arrived the drab
small-town pharmacies Of the Rhine
land were beseiged with excited men
in olive drab sought out the puzzled
proprietors in vain effort to m ke them
produce pharmaceutical commodities
of which they never had heard. Drug
stores without soda fountains" 1t
seemed like another German atrocity.
But the soldiers had to accept the
situation as 1t was. So the Germans
were classified along with the French
as a dumb" backward, uncivilized
people. BY this time the proprietor of
the worlds Oldest pharmacy may be
in . position to understand some OF
the uncomplimentary opinions OF his
countrymen expressed by the "soldaten."
1t all depends upon the point Of view.

Hunting a Drug Store.

The worlds oldest drug store is in
Berlin. 1t was opened for business
four years before Columbus started on
his first voyage and has remained
open ever since.
The present proprietor, DR.. George
Cohen, now is visitor in America. He
wants to observe American methods in
the drug business and. with this end
in view, set out the other day to visit
some of the New York establishments.
At the end of the day he returned to
his hotel tired and puzzled. He had
wandered all over the great city and
failed to find drug store.
Is it possible, DR.. Cohen asked. that
New York's six million are so healthy
that they will not support drug store ?
Or is there some special condition
which forces American druggists to
keep their establishments hidden?
1t was with some difficulty that the
German pharmacist was made to I'M
derstand that the innumerable stores
selling soft drinks, light lunches, toilet
articles, books and golf balls actually
were drug stores. He had, in fact,
been inside several of them during the
day without a suspicion as to their
real nature.
For DR.. Cohen's ancient establish
ment sells only drugs. 1t has no side
lines. Much the same bewilderment
might be the lot Of many a European
pharmacist in America. He would be
forced to hunt long and YEARLY before
finding an establishment which cor
responded in any recognizable way to
the pharmacy with which he was IA
miliar.
A somewhat similar experience fell
to the lot of many American soldiers
in Europe during the war. After ar
irving in France they we're restrained
for time IN camps, l1ungering for the
sodas and sundaes of home. But in
a few days it was possible to get leave
to visit nearby towns and there was
an immediate search for the local
drug stores" The soldiers could not
find any and wondered how any COM
munity Of the twentieth century could
be so backward and uncivilized as to
allow such condition. A town of
several thousand population without
drug stores" It was unthinkable.

the army of occupation, perhaps clever.

The Paw Board Findings.

A sequence of events. but nothing
else, serves TO link President Hoovers
plans for reduction OF Army OUTLAWS
with the recommendations of the In
| terdepartmental Pay Board for in
creases in pay to personnel In the Army.
Navy, Marine Corps. Coast Guard. Coast
and Geodetic Survey and Public Health
Service. For these recommendations
for increases in pay, recognizing the
lowered purchasing power of the dollar
since the last general increase In 1908,
should not be construed as affecting in
any way the Nations program of eco
nomical spending. No economy Is ef-
fected by pauperizing personnel, and
personnel in the services named have
already been 'cut down by advancing
standards to a point where mere ex-
istence on service pay is e dificult prob
lem.
The Interdepartmental Pay Board has
been working on pay revision since last
April. 1t undertook the work at the
direction Of the heads of the services
included. The recommends tons. which
are yet TO name the total expenditures
necessary to meet them. must now run
the gauntlet through Congress. Only
an optimist would predict immediate
and satisfactory results. But the be-
ginning has been made in correcting a
condition that must be remedied.
One of the interesting features of the
pay recommendations is the proposal
to make future pay inclusive and allow
no special allowances for dependents
or for expenses involved in lease of
quarters. All officers would be on the
same footing, with deductions made in
salary for officers living in Government
owned buildings. Pay is based funda-
mentally on the grade held. with in
creases for length of commissioned
service.
The board points out that in recent
years other Government services have
received increases in pay, while the
scale in the Army and Navy has been
actually cut per cent. The foreign
service has been increased ITS per
cent: sections of the Civil Service, 1873
per cent: assistant departmental sec
retaries, Ill per cent; post Office In
spectors. 90 per cent: the judiciary. So
per cent; members of Congress, 80 per
cent, and members of the cabinet, IS
per cent. Since 1908. when the last
general pay increase was put into ef-
feet, the purchasing power Of the dol
lar has shrunk TO 40 cents. The pay
board seeks to bring it back to par.
and to readiust salaries on the basis of
value received for services rendered

mud road and he should suffer injury
it would constitute an international
calamity. The roads to Hoover Camp
must be made safe for the President.
Further than this these same roads
are eventually to be an important part
Of the system of roads for the Shenan-
doah National Park, for accommodation
of tourist trafic. The Army Engineers
are being taught bodybuilding as an
essential part of their training at Fort
Humphreys, and they must have practi-
cal experience.
1t is the best practical experience for
the engineers to do real road-buildine
that can be of service. They can put
extra pride and zest into their work
II 1t is to be for the safety and comfort
Of the President, who is Commander lin
Chief Of their forces. 1t is seaSonally
healthy and wholesome for them to be
living in the open. in the foothills of the
Blue Ridge Mountains, in the Shenan-
doah National Park, surrounded by some
OF the most beautiful scenery in the
world, where there is good fishing for
their hours Of relaxation and cool bath
ing in the mountain streams.
1t seems happy assignment-all OF
the way around-and the administra-
ton is to be congratulated on putting
the engineers to practical work.
Let the roads be built adequate in
every way to Hoover Camp, but let it
be one-way traffic. The President Of
the United States should not be dis
turbed in his brief hours of relaxation.
More power to the road-building Army

Sees Naval Disarming
World Peace Menace
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The proposal for reduction of all
naval ornaments would appear to have
originated with the United States Of
America.
shall endeavor to show that, in the
true interests of world peace, a reduc-
ton of the United States Navy would
be unwise and dangerous.
To reduce defense is to facilitate
attack. II America after reducing its
naval defenses should be attacked the
attack would be made by a number OF
foreign naval powers in combination.
Their main object would be to annul
their war debts to the United States.
An excuse for such war would be
easy to invent--an excuse which would
appear to put America in the wrong
and one of the first American cities to
be attacked and quite possibly destroyed
would be Washington.
In Europe it would be very popular
war The weight of the war debts
presses heavily there upon every indi-
vidual taxpayer among the debtor ma
tions. Approximately one-fifth of every
income is paid in income tax, and the
people are told that this hardly earned
money goes to the already enormously
rich United States OF America to pay
the interest upon the war debt owed to
that country. They are also told that
this almost intolerable burden must be
borne for So years-that Is to say, by
their children's children.
1t may be dishonest. but 1t is quite
natural, that they should seek for an
escape from this crushing load of debt.
There is. probably. no moral. legal
or financial reason why America should
reconsider the question of these debts,
but such action might be automatically
advisable. BERTRAND SHADWELL.

Mr.. Edison's Heir.Apparent,

Whether Thomas A. Edison has
picked a genius in naming Wilbur B.
Huston Of Seattle as the heir-apparent
to his greatness depends upon tins

things" that, taken together. give us a
key to character, Mr.. Edison has chosen
rather normal, ght-thinking and
liEable sort of young fellow who
should do well in this world with the
opportunities that have been dropped
at his door. He believes a lie is justified
when ut will save the person lied to
any grief, trouble or sorrow and not
benefit yourself" which, 1t seems, is a
rather sound answer and more con-
vincing than IL it had stuck to arbi-
trary fundamentals and been Never"

only Wilbur and one other boy de-
clined. When he did write the article,

that interviewers are apt to do with

Wilbur has declined to show great
interest in the classics. much to the

duct that would class young Wilbur

and perhaps that explains the rarity
