Czarist days, to march across China.
Soviet Russia is already the master of
Mongolia. 1t VIGOROUSLY covets Man
churia. Between such an aspiration and
its realization there are, of course, many
bridges TO cross. Not only is there the
new China to reckon with, but there is
Japan, lord of all creation in South
Manchuria, and traditionally suspicious
of Russia's intentions in the North.
Even before the Nationalist achieved
power, China succeeded in recovering
from Russia joint control of the Chinese
Eastern Railway. But the Bolshevists
have never ceased to maneuver among
the Radical wing of the Kuomintang for
the purpose of widening Russian infiu-
ence in China. The Nationalist authori-
ties are alive to this peril. The current
crisis was precipitated by mysterious
raid on the Russian consulate at Muk-
ties insist it was made without their
knowledge or direction, yet it recalls an
almost identical affair in old Peking as
the result of which China obtained
highly discriminating evidence of Com
munist intrigue against her. Aggravat-
ing the Russian situation is the belief
that Marshal Feng would not shrink
from accepting Soviet support against
Chang Kai-Shek.
China's woes seem endless. Famine
stalks through the land in many prov
inces. Civil war smolders. Now Rus
STA threatens. Americans hope the sun
may yet break through the sorely
troubled young republics clouds and
remain shining.

| Among the peonies our favorites were

presence. Its beauty is perennial, with

ter of its glorious creamy white petals.
There was variety Abatra, which
was great deal like it. We also liked
Tourangelle, a white suffused with the
palest pink, and Milton Hill, a pink
whopper. La France was another good
pale pink variety.
1t is pleasure to see properly grown
peonies. Most people like the rose types
the best, but for those who fancy the
single varieties there was one unusual
one, named Buccaneer, with deep red
petals and yellow center.
Among the roses the vases of Red
Radiance held up unusually we'll The
gladioli made no particular showing,
only few varieties being included in
the exhibit. The iris showed up well,
but we found the peonies usurping at
tention.
Then there were those darlings of the
floral world, the orchids, mostly shown
in the varieties more common to grow
ers, but with a few unusual ones
mixed in.
There was an elderly gentleman who
came up to the largest of the orchid
tables, who won our admiration because
he was hard of hearing and his eyesight
was not good, but he was determined
both to see orchids and hear about
them.
AS he used his magnifying glasses and
cupped his ear to learn, we thought that
If every one in the world displayed such
interest and determination about things
of beauty, what wonderful place this
terrestrial globe might be (not would be !;

A flower exhibit is a kind of library,
where every reader finds his own flow
cry volumes.
Each vase is book in which the
reader finds entertainment and beauty,
according to what is written there and
what he brings to it.

"Out of print" is never written in

The Higher Fare Question.

BY making the Washington Railway
g. Electric Co. and the Alexandria,
Mount Vernon & Washington Railway
Co. parties to the Capital fractions ap-
plication for an increased fare, the
Public Utilities Commission has taken
the short cut to the heart of Washing
toms involved street railway problem.
1t will now not only consider the merits
of the Capital fractions claim, but will
of necessity look into the condition Of
these other lines and hear what claims
they may be forced to put forward to
back their involuntary requests for
greater revenue. If the Capital Trac-
ton Co. succeeds in proving that it is
receiving an insufficient return on in
vestment, while the condition of the
other two lines fails to justify them in
seeking higher fare, does the way out
Of the dilemma lie only in asking the
public to pay for more than the Capt.
tai Traction demands, not only to boost
its own returns but to safeguard it
against competition?
Public regulatory control of public
utilities naturally carries with it the
responsibility of safeguarding the utilities
against the results of discriminatory
competition. In other words, the Cap
ital Traction Co. could not be made to
accept a fare increase that did not
apply to competing lines.
But as the Capital Traction Co.
conditions its acceptance of a higher
fare on like increase applying to the
other lines, is it not possible that the
unjustness of adding revenue to the
companies that do not need it will out
weigh the possible business of giving
additional revenue to company that
may need it?
The Capital Traction Co. ex-
plains its application now on the in
creasing number of automobiles, plus
failure Of the merger agreement, which
would have brought about economies in
operation. In connection with the in
crease in automobiles, Accountant Bach
HAL OI ILe TuO1C OIl1lttcS OolIlAIl1SolOh
is studying the figures in preparation
for the hearings on the fare applica-
ton July %. They tell persuasive
story as regards the increase in the
number of automobiles. But in this
connection it Is shown that each of the
fare increases since 1917 has been fol-
lowed by fifteen per cent reduction
in revenue passengers. It is only log
ical to believe that another fare in
crease, plus the greater number of
automobiles now available, would be
followed by the loss of an ever larger
percentage of revenue passengers, and
that such loss might go far to Offset
any gains in revenue from higher
fare,

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Grand Jury.
We must give months of Precious Time
To the analysis Of Crime.
We wait to hear, from day to day,
What the Grand Jury has to say.
State Legislatures boldly balk
While Congress shows its share of talk.
Yet new offenses bring dismay
And the Grand Jury has q Say.
While nations seek peaceful plan
To settle matters, Man to Man,
The real question, on Life's way,
Is, What Does the Grand Jury Say?"

COOPERATIVE Hotel
For Women Is Urged
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
The Government Hotels are to be torn
down. They have proven the need of
permanent and comfortable housing for
Government employees. The women in
the Government Hotels would like a
permanens hotel comparatively owned
within easy reach Of the Government
departments and the business section of
the city. Many of these women do NOT
reel physically able to do housevorlr
a1ter working for the Government all
Gay. They wish to spend their leisure
time Tor cultural development.
Living IN suburban section is more
desirable, especially IN Summer, than
living In downtown Washington excent
for the transportation drawback Roth
the city and the Federal Government
should see that adequate transporta-
ton facilities are afforded Government
employees.
I am quite sure that President and Mrs.
Hoover, the Congress of the United
states, the Fine Arts Commission.
the National Capital Park and Planning
commission, the American Civic Asso-
citation, the Better Homes of America
and many other individuals and or
CARNATIONS gladly would offer helpful
suggestions and constructive criticisms
for a project so vital to the needs of the
Federal employees and others. Every
normal man and woman wants a
home
And for the garden native trees, the
redbud, dogwood, pines,
And oaks, beech with blue-gray bark
and Silken leaves and vines,
Beside the road a greenbriar vine 50
clean on a dusty day,
When the only thing that is stirring is
the scent from new-mown hay.
And for a screen not Lombardy'S, but
our own native vines,
The Virgins bower, wild clematis, and
AutumnS red woodbines.
And trumpet vineS-the music Of their
trumpets have you heard,
When they desire a visit from . ruby
humming bird?
And hollyhocks, and larkspur tail, pale
pink, and blue, and white,
And columbine so gayly dressed, just as
q gypsy might.
At night time gently 1ul1ed to rest by
wind through an old woodbine
And perfume from q garden rose and
honeysuckle vine.
Awakened in the morning hours about
the break of day,
1t does not matter If the month be
April, June or May,
Not by q gong or whistle shrill on train
or trolley line.
But by catbird singing on q wild
blackberry vine.

large part of his entertainment The
second, which is being organized, is for
the limited number who may be found
fitted to specialize in active prepara-
ton for definite work in the literary
and technical branches of the indus
try. This is being prepared with the
utmost care and all possible precau-
tons to insure its giving bona fide
training to the right individuals and
still preserving the proper economic
balance. OF it Karl T. Waugh, under
whose charge, as dean of liberal arts,
the new courses come, says: What
the industry needs and what the uni
verSity can give is men and women
trained in the fundamental subjects of
physics, chemistry, optics, art, archi-
lecture, English, dramatics, psychology,
ETC., with particular application to the
chemistry Of the film, optics of motion
picture camera work, the psychology of
perception and Interpretation, the art
and architecture of motion picture de-
sign. stagecraft, dramatics. and the ele-
mentS of plot and scenario writing. A
school of motion picture sciences may
thus be comparable to schools of min
ing or civil engineering or architecture"
