Dyed ermine on hunters
green broa,~Soth l. the inspira-
ton for this Germaine Lecomte
coat. The fur midway between
the flared cuffs is a chic note
of the moment.
Coat collars OF fur are simply
worked as q general rule, the
shawl or pouch types being
mostly employed IN the long
haired furs, while more novel
crushed or shirred collars are
used in the flat pelts.
Cuffs generally are deep. often
fitting closely on the sleeve and
IN some cases mounting 10 the
elbow. The flaring gauntlet
cuff is a favorite this season.

If Uncle Sam is, as proposed, to be
viewed as an ordinary municipal tax
payer In Washington, q substitute for
the owners OF the greatest industries OF
the commercial cities, then the n.y.
pothesis must be carried out in thor
oughgoing way in order to make fair
the comparison with other cities. The
Bureau of Efficiency has been Justly
consistent in this respect. Carefully
excluding every item of which the tax
able quality is dubious, it assesses Uncle
Sans realty and tangible personally on
the same basis as the similar property
of the individual taxpayer, and it esti-
mates his tax on intangibles on basis
which causes the estimate to constitute
an Insignificant fraction of Uncle Sans
actual intangibles and millions less than
the probable intangibles Of the owners
Of the great industries +(like the outo-
mobile industries of Detroit) whom
Uncle Sam In this hypothesis repre-
sents. The only reasonable criticism of
the bureaus estimate of Uncle Sans
equitably. taxable intangibles Is that 1t
is too low. The difficulty in making q
reasonable appraisement of taxable in
tangibles attributable to Uncle Sam
should not cause these intangibles to be
ineQuitably cut out Of the calculation
altogether. The very conservative esti-
mate Of the Bureau of Efficiency on this
point may perhaps be wisely accepted
by everybody.

the students In the co-educational instf-
tutions are older than the average col
lege student and the greater number of
these institutions are advantageously
located In or near large cities where
employment Is easily obtained and
where the institutions themselves require
variety Of services, for which they
are willing to pay students who win
perform them. While the percentage
OF employed students in mems colleges
and womens colleges is lower, it is in
teresting to note that within the last
few years there has been a change in
the conservative attitude of many of
the wonlen's colleges, and student
employment bureaus and vocational
agencies have been established to find
effective employment for the students.
The time has long since passed when
the young man who earned his way
through college by firing furnaces along
faculty row or by waiting on table was
regarded as a curiosity and pointed to
with exceptional pride by the profess
sors. Tens Of thousands of young men
have joined him, to form an educational
aristocracy able to get along without
the patronizing pats OF the fortunate
students who receive their tuition fees
from fond parents at home. A time
may yet come when our great univer-
stiles, crowded as they are by applicants,
will become so exclusive as to restrict
the entrants to those who are willing
and anxious to work their way through
Degrees from such institutions would
carry more weight than those from col
lcges which represent scholastic. attain
ments alone.

Objection Is Voiced
To Sale of Firearms

To the Editor Of The star:
There Is way that our Government
could stop much Of the crime and muir
ders that are committed. If law was
made that no ammunition or firearms
could be manufactured or sold except
by the Government, and then only
rifles or guns be sold to any individual
except to policemen. and If no concealed
weapons were sold to other people. and
policemen had to return them to the
Government as soon as they ceased to
be policemen, then most Of the worst
crimes would cease.
No guns or rifles should be allowed In
public places unless there Is q reason
able excuse for it.
II concealed weapons were not al
lowed to be sold to unoficial people,
bandits, sneak thieves and murderers
would soon become scarce and the world
would soon become much better and
safer place to live In.
1t Is the possession of concealed
weapons that makes criminals so bold
and daring In their crimes.
I know Of no legislation that could
benefit humanity more than doing
away with concealed weapons, and It
is time that our Government was doing
something that was effectual in de-
creasing crime, which since the World
War seems to be increasing instead Of
decreasing.
While firearms and ammunition con-
tinue to be made and sold as money
making scheme there Is little hope Of
decreasing crime, and the Governments
expense of fighting 1t win continue and
people will keep on being robbed and
murdered.
Let the Government 60 to the root
of the matter and see how quickly It
viii need fewer jails and the expense Of
keeping them up, and IL win have to
spend less for criminal trials and un-
necessary evils

IL the census taking occurred Novem-
her /. They urge. too. that some Of
the crops still remain to be harvested
November /.
It Is clear that II the census Is to be
taken November / OF this year there Is
not great deal Of time to be lost in
putting through the census bill and ac-
companying appropriations. A great
force Of enumerators must be organized
in every State and Territory. II the
bill is not put through by March 4, 1t
may. Of course, be taken up and passed
in the special session Of the new Con-
gress. which Is to meet this Spring to
deal with farm and tariff problems.
But the aim of the leaders is to dis
pose OF the census bill at the present
session. BY itself the census bill would
doubtless go through the Senate at a
hand gallop. But On effort Is to be
made to add the bin for reapportion-
ment of the House membership as an
to the census bill. Senators
hailing from some Of the seventeen
States that will lose representation un-
der the reapportionment plan are not
anxious for that bill to become law.
The decennial census taken In 1920
cost the total sum Of $25,117,000. The
present estimate for the next census is
nearly $15,0o0,o00 more than that
But is is pointed out that the
population of the country has grown
greatly, requiring far more work, and
that in the ten-year period salaries have
been on the increase. These facts. it Is
said. explain the need of a much larger
SUM for census taking now than ten
years ago.

Tourist Camp Upheld
n AS Benefit to Public
To the Editor of The Star;

TO the Editor OF The Star:
Aaron j. Fritz, manager McReynolds
Apartment Hotel, has raised an objec-
ton to the tourist camp in East Po-
tomac Park, as % municipality con-
Quoted enterprise In direct competition
with many OF the hotels In Washing
tom"
Can any predetermined business man
feel that the municipal government
would inaugurate such an institution as
the tourist camp, so beneficial to those
visitors, often from far-off States, who
manifest the patriotic interest to spend
their vacation In our Capital City. with
any intent Of depriving the city'S hotels
Of their patronage?
Mr.. Fritz says: "I do not think the
tourist camp does the City of Wash
ington any particular good. The people
who stop there do not leave any appre-
ciable amount Of money with Washing
ton stores Or industries. While they
may be desirable and worthy as visitors
to Washington, IL the tourist camp were
not there these guests probably would
patronize some OF the moderately priced
hotels Of the city"
Does Mr.. Fritz forget the good the
tourist camp does for its guests? Does
he not realize that most of the visitors
who patronize the tourist camp have
already spent relatively large amount
of money In transportation and that
what to the hotel proprietor might be
considered q moderate price" for &C.
commodation would be prohihitive to
many Of the city's guests? Has he for
gotten that these people pay taxes fol
the upkeep Of the Federal Government
and that the tourist camp is but q
courtesy extended to them by the Gov
eminent to enable many who would
otherwise be deprived of seeing the mag
nificent edifices which their money
has helped to construct?
Furthermore, MIR. Fritz surely must
have observed the tourist camps that
have been thoughtfully provided by
other cities, many Of them much
smaller than the City of washington
Can the Capital Of the Nation afford 70
be less accommodating In this impor-
tant respect?

Reviles City for Arrest
OF Girl as Cun-TOteI

TO the Editor OF The Star:
In your Sunday edition, page 2, you
printed an article that has caused me
much concern, and If It is strictly true
shoul4 cause concern to every one who
loves justice or whose heart holds any
interest In perfectly innocent and ig-
norant young girls who for various rea-
sons come to washington.
The article Is headed:
Mountain Girl Is Bewildered," etc.
Now, the story the girl tells sounds TO
me true. She sought help, presumably
from a woman stationed for the express
purpose of rendering assistance to just
such poor. bewildered people. What
does the poor child get? ARREST for
carrying concealed weapons. with intent
to kill"
There was evidently no idea of con-
cealment. One would hardly expect q
girl to walk around q railroad station
carrying pistol In her hand. Judging
from the article you print, she freely
showed the contents Of her bag, evident
ly thinking she was talking to friendly
adviser.
TO nv mind, It takes wonderful
stretch Of the imagination to find any
where In the incident, as printed, to
discover any intent to kill"
II the story Is correctly stated the
incident Is disgrace to Washington
City, and the woman, who should have
shown humanity and kindly advised q
poor, bewildered girl In o strange city,
Is deserving Of much censure.
II there are mistakes, The Star owes
II to the city and lady concerned to give
correct version Of the affair.
was glad to see In last nights issue
that the provarhial stony-hearted law
has shown more mercy and the poor
child has been sent home to her mother.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRAcEWELL.

There are, In the main, two sorts of
people in the world-those who are sub
jective and those who are objective
Those Of the second class find them
selves under the necessity of buzzing
around day and night, ever on the
search for objects to amuse them or de-
light them, or to give them food for
thought.
The former are under no such need,
but find life summed up in themselves,
into whom they look with curiosity
mingled with amusement and respect.
The sound of a fire engine siren will
cause objective persons to rush auto
natically to the window, but the sub
iective man will remain quietly at his
work. He has watched fire engines be-
fore, and can see no reason why he
should hop up every time bell rings.
y Is As Y
Members of the subjective class must
resign themselves to being misunder-
stood, even disliked, for their numbers
are few compared with the great mass
of men and women who must seek out
objects of all kinds In order to find life
tolerable
Subjectives, as we might call them,
are both the envy and despair Of their
friends. On the one hand they possess
an equilibrium which is most discon-
certing to the fire apparatus chasers.
Hence envy.
They are the despair of their friends
because the latter think the former are
missing so much. What! You don't
go to the theater much? You missed
that great show last week?
What! You have never been to that
curious eating place where the snappy
crowd gathers in vain attempt to ape
Greenwich Village?
You do not go to the movies? Mon
dieu, what do you do to amuse your
self? You are curious fellow, indeed.
Arthur Schopenhauer. most honest of
philosophers, indicated these two classes
of human beings when he wrote, in his
Wisdom Of Life" the following para
graph:
what man is and has in himself
In a word, personality, with all it en-
tails-is the only immediate and direct
factor in his happiness and welfare. All
else Is mediate and indirect, and its
influence can be neutralized and frus-
trated: but the influence of personality
never. That is why the envy which
personal qualities excite is the most
implacable of alas 1t is the most
carefully dissembled."
While one would in no sense wish
to say that fire engine chasers Gas we
insist on calling them) are lacking in
personality, there can be little question
that different" people have more per-
sonality, everything being equal (Which
often 1t is not). and therefore have
fewer friends and more enemies.
In other words, he Is more in himself,
and has more in himself. He is more
self-suf1icient. Yet, strangely, there are
few conceited men in this class. Such
persons have lived with themselves un-
der the microscope too long to put any
great stock in what they have dis
covered.
Tt Is only the essentially ignorant
man-ignorant of himself-who gazes
with great pride at his reflection In the
mirror, and comes to honestly believe
that God lost the pattern when he was
made.
Even the comparatively few conceited
women are dependent upon outside
objects for subjects of conversation
