Always be suspicious of woman who
holds her husbands hand in public.
Such demonstrations usually have a
purpose behind them, and in most cases
this purpose is to induce spectators to
believe that the couple get along in fine
style.
The hand-holding business is simply
smoke screen sent up to divert at
tention from the real state of affairs.
To the knowing one it says as plain as
dav, although he will never let on that
he sees through the maneuver:
Watch me hold my dear husbands
hand. Ha! Hal Dear husband Is good.
Really we fight like cats and dogs. but
nobody knows it. unless you are shreWd
enough to see through all this, and OF
course you aren't.
"You never are. You are sap like
my husband. In reality we quarrel
from the time we hit the house to the
moment we leave. when we both put on
SNUG airs of satisfaction.
See how lovingly I clasp his hand
and how cunningly / call him Honey.
If can contrive to reach over some
one else to grab his mitt, how much
better that makes it!
Surely. every one Is convinced now
that we are the acme of perfection when
it comes to living amicably side by side.
Watch me-IH hold his hand again, If
you don't believe it."

Nothing is more embarrassing to an
honest couple who find themselves I'M
der no necessity to convince others of
their love than 10 get mixed up with one
of these super loving parade pairs.
Often you will see people with little
money aping the clothes. ways and
habits of the rich, always making a dis
play of what money they have, as If
afraid some one would not understand
that they pay an income tax to Uncle
Sam.
Often really rich people wear the
plainest simplest sort of clothes: they
never feel under any necessity of con-
vincing others of their standing in the
financial world.
Thus if some young man of fashion
is accused in crowd of being bum"
he does not resent it, and never argues
back because he knows that all who
ought to know realize the true state of
affairs, and with the remainder it makes
little difference whether they know or
not.
So it is with these displayers of a
fraudulent affection, as contrasted with
those who really know and understand

plays in public. To them there is some
thing sacred in their handclasps which
must not be revealed to the public eye.
Even if they are in the habit of calling
each other dear" and honey" and
such names in private, they seldom use
them even before their closest friends,
and never at all when with mere &C

tends to stand on the farm planks of
the Republican national platform and
upon the speeches which he made dur
ing the campaign. If he has any in
novations, any new plans for farm re-
lief, they are not to be made public
until after Congress opens, April Is.
The opinion of Senators from the farm
States of the West, who are well posted,
is that the new McNary bill will be the
basis of the farm measure which will
be passed and sent to the President.
Furthermore, they believe that the farm
organizations will go along with this
measure. If it does not prove satisfac-
tory after it has become law. doubt
less the farm organizations will come
back to Congress for further aid. 1t is
no secret. however. that President Hoo
yer is anxious that legislation be en-
acted which will stand the test and
will be a measure of permanent aid to
the farmers of the country.

Reply Made TO Letter
OF Ex-senator Thomas

TO the Editor OF The Star:
May be permitted just a few words
in reply to the letter from former Sena-
tor c. S. Thomas. which appeared in
your paper on March %.
If it be true that the action of the
President in Withdrawing oil land is
not legal. the remedy is so obvious as
to need no discussion-courts are al
ways available. 1t goes without say
ing, of course, that the President must
have had legal advice, and am there
fore assuming that his action Is entirely
legal
Turning for moment to the techni-
col side of the question, permit me to
invite your attention to the fact that
wells now drilled and not producing
could add approximately million and
half barrels day to the present out
put. There IS no economic need for
further drilling
I assume that former Senator Thomas
is in agreement with the necessity for
rational conservation of the Nations
petroleum resources. If so, he can find
no objection to the Presidents order
on any other grounds than that it is
illegal, and If it is. of course. the courts
are always open for any one caring to
raise the issue.
AIC OlbCL may pOcSADAI 41AtCLACAE WAuAA
the activities of some individual or in
dividuals who want to drill an oil we'll,
but it is high time that people should
realize that the welfare of the public
is paramount to the welfare of the sim
gle individual or corporation. 1t does
not at all follow that because man
has the urge to drill an oil well
he should be allowed to do so when it
can be clearly shown. as it can be at
the present time, that it is not in the
public interest.
It would be interesting to know
whether the distinguished former Sena-
tor from Colorado takes the position
that there should be no conservation
of the mineral resources in the United
States, or whether he is simply inter-
ested in the legal aspects of the case.
If he is uneasy as to the latter, per-
haps he might find relief in the courts.
In the event that he is upheld in his
contention, which seems improbable
I assume he would gladly join in a
petition to Congress to make it possible
for the President to protect adequately
the Nations petroleum resources from
wasteful exploitation, a condition that
will exist so far as Government land
is concerned If the Presidents order is
not permitted to stand.

IF the younger generation will only

we believe there is growing respect
for the Constitution among the young

study OF 1t by the great school body of
the country
THE eighth-grade history classes
that listened in on the inaugural cere-
MONIES" asserts the Roanoke World
News, learned more of real American
history that day than they would have
done from books. 1t is encouraging to
note that at least few school authori-
ties are taking note of the new educa-
tional force now available. When really
great events, such as the Inauguration
OF a President, occur provision should
be made for every school child in Amer
lea to listen in"
More than the walls have ears in
these days of the radio" observes the
Milwaukee Journal. in some places
they are learning something about the
Constitution. People who go in for
quoting before the radio need to be
careful. There are other things that
speakers sometimes get wrong, Public
will be after their split infinitives and
their mangled facts, too" The Louis
vile Courier-Journal is moved to re-
mark that "the radio has one great
advantage over the newspaper-it isn't
held responsible as the purveyor of
inaccuracies"

Suggests Single Name
For Government Area
To the Editor Of The Star:

| To the Editor of The Star:
| 1t would be a pertinent and gracious
| manifestation Of the general reverence
for the character and patriotic service
of the first President of the United
| States if. at the time of the bicentennial
| celebration of his birth, the entire area
of the seat of Government should bear
his name in law, as it does in the public
mind and appreciation. Without discuss
ing the present diversity of territorial
designations at the seat of Government,
1t is enough for the purpose of this sug-
gestlon to state that there are at present
two different statutory names for the
| entire area of the seat of Government
namely, the District of Columbia and
the County of Washington--and two
different statutory names for two diff
| ferent parts of it-namely. 1.-The City of
| Washington, the Federal Capital
which embraces only the area in the
old City of Washington and George
town, and the village Of "Anacostia"
Furthermore, every State, county and
| town that now bears the name of
Washington should. for the same rea-
son, receive another designation in lieu
of it. The name of the State of Wash
ington might appropriately be changed
to Columbia" from the majestic river
that intersects a part of it and nobly
graces a large length of it's southern
border. Suitable names other than
Washington" should be substituted for
that name wherever elsewhere than
here it is used as a local designation.

stand in solitary conspicuity to distin-
euish the Capital Of the United States.

Pedestrians Problems
AT Corners Are Cited
To the Editor of The star:

To the Editor of The Star:
In your editorial of March 20 you
refer to the fact that pedestrians pay
no attention to traffic signals. Perhaps
this is because they have never sue
ceeded in figuring out whether 1t is
safer to cross on the red or on the
green light. In spite of the somewhat
problematical right of way at street
intersections a pedestrian can never
be sure of crossing in safety.
For example, If pedestrian is walk
ing north, on the right-hand side OF the
street, and comes to the intersection
with a street RUNNING east and west,
then If he crosses on the red light he
traffic. east and west, but he must also
look out for vehicles making a right
turn when going west, or completing
left turn when going south.
If. on the other hand, he crosses on
the green light, he may be run over
by vehicle going north and making
right turn, or by one going east
and finishing a left-hand turn. All
turns are bad because pedestrian is
not in position to see a signal made
by extending the hand to the left. e.,
away from the sidewalk.
The right-hand turn is especially
dangerous when the pedestrian is APP
preached from behind. Obviously, the
rules in regard to making turns are
planned so that vehicle will not have
to cross or weave into traffic. and 1t IS
hard to understand the claim that the
rules in regard to the left-hand turn
were framed to protect the pedestrian.
1t is worth considering whether it
would not suit his purposes better If
the right-hand turn were made in two
stages, and the left-hand turn in one
AS the rules now stand. it is not to
be wondered at if pedestrian thinks
his only safety lies in crossing in the
middle of a block where it is neces-
Sary to look in only two directions.

! Washingtons favorite indoor sport at
| the moment, at least among the foreign
| embassies and legations, is to hunt
up presidents for the I'm Alone affair
cases in which the shoe was on the
! other foot. Two instances are being
| much discussed by the diplomats. One
| is the Virginius episode, dating back
to 1873, when highly suspicious ship
of that name. carrying the American
flag and American clearance papers,
was sighted some 10 miles off Cuba by
Spanish warship. The Virginius had
bad name in the fllibustering traffic
and other devious trades. Refusing to
submit to arrest. the Spanish ship
chased her for eight hours on the high
seas to a point so miles from the
Cuban coast, boarded her and sent her
under prize crew to Santiago de Cuba
Eventually IL persons aboard the Vir-
ginius were stood against wall and
shot as filibustererS. Hadn't a British
man-of-war in harbor threatened to
lombard the city, all the VirginillS'
crew and passengers would have been
executed. A Spanish war
was narrowly averted. Spain was re-
CURED to restore the ship, liberate the
survivors, apologize and salute the
American flag.
The other incident formed the basis
OF the celebrated protest filed by WIZ
liam Jennings Bryan. then Secretary
Of State, with the British government
on December 26, 1914, resenting British
Entertainments on American neutral
shipping rights. Those were the days
when British cruisers we're stopping
Yankee merchantmen and. after search
ing them, seizing contraband supposed
to be destined for Germany. Secretary
Bryan wrote Sir Edward Grey, British
foreign minister:
This Government cannot without
protest permit American ships or
American cargoes to be taken into
British ports and there detained for
the purpose of searching generally
for evidence of contraband, or upon
presumption created by special mu-
nicipal enactments which are clearly
at variance with international law
and practice.
The analogy to the I'm Alone affair.
as far as the Bryan note is concerned,
Is that our prohibition laws are "mu-
nicipal enactments." which, in 1914,
we were clubbing as laws clearly at
variance with international law and
practice
A guessing contest is in lively prog
ress in Capital society during these
waning days of Lent. What people

of two persons recently featured in the
columns of a certain widely read and
sprightly New York weekly. One IS
described as "a hard-boiled hussy from
the plains. wife of prominent Fed
eral official" The other is pilloried
as "a statesman who has fought his
way to the social top at Washington
by check and cheek"
