George Z. Bowles, former director
of the FL Centre Chamber o. Com
mercc and a good road enthusiast, in
Il communication to Secretary Hays
of the local chamber, yesterday,
stated that the federated chambers
of commerce of San Diego county, at
meeting held May 2l, passed 4
resolution asking the supervisors Of
San Diego county to urge the com
pletion, at the earliest date, the
road from Imperial Valley to La
guna mountains.
This information is very crafty.
ing to the directors of the chamber,
who are very anxious to see the
completion of the proposed short
route to the Laguna recreational
area, which will cutthe distance
down about 80 miles. With the en-.
dorsement of the San Diego super
visOrs, and the Imperial county SUI
pcrvisors having already indorscd
the project, it would be necessary
cnly to get the approval of the gov
ernmcnt TO construct 4 road n short
distance to make the route a reality.
DIR. Charles l.. Go6d, supervisor of
san Diego county, expects to visit
Imperial Valley this week to 60 over
the proposed route and see just what
work would be necessary TO complete
it. II is possible that the San Die
20 county engineer will accompany
Dr.. Good on his visit.

True, 1t is bound later into a book, but
somehow 1t lacks the quality Of a true
record. There was something dignified
and reassuring about the leather-bound
tome of other days, a guarantee of re-
spectability, an assurance of security.
Truth is, modern hotels. are not quite
as were the inns" of other times. Their
patronage has grown so greatly that the
personal touch is largely lacking. The
business has become SO heavy that fire.
quent shifts of clerks are necessary at
the various desks, and rarely does the
guest become acquainted. The register
does not lie out on the desk for the
stroller-by to thumb over and scan. 1t
is whisked away as soon as signed. The
man in the street who once upon time
could find out who was who in the hotel
has no access to the records, but must
ask specific questions of some ear
phoned young woman who is prone to
treat all questioners with suspicion.
But to return to the first query: What
of all the hotel registers? How
long are they kept? Is there any rule
of practice regarding them? From time
to time these records are produced in
court in legal cases. Sometimes they
furnish an alibi, sometimes evidence to
the contrary. Somewhere there must be
stores of them. Is there an unwritten
law that governs their disposal? AS
suredly they are not all filed in the
public libraries.

Districts Fiscal Relations,

Elsewhere in The Star today edt-
torial correspondence analyses the f1g-
ures of the recent report of the Bureau
Of Efficiency relating to District taxa
ton and the fiscal relations between
the District and the Federal Govern
nnent, and discovers in these figures sup
pos of the Districts contentious that,
in view of the Districts peculiar dis
abilities, its per capita tax burden is at
least as heavy as those Of comparable
American cities.
The equitable notifications which are
needed to make fair comparisons of tax
figures between Washington and the
average American city consist mainly
In the elimination of State tax and of
interest payments on funded debt from
the calculations. 1t is gratifying that
the same conclusions In respect to the
comparative weight of the Districts tax
burden which were reached by the con-
gressional joint committee in 1915 have
been reaffirmed after thorough investi-
cation by the Bureau of Efficiency in
1883.

Mr.. Coolidge in Florida,

The subject of the Pres. dents speech
on Friday dedicating the Box cariilon
ana sanctuary at Mountain Lake Park.
Fla. might we'll have been termed
s'The Triumph of Estheticism in
Democracy" He chose the spot where
he stood as a symbol of this triumph;
a beautiful area in Florida's hill and
lake section, set aside and developed
by a man who rose from the people ana
reserved in perpetuity for the use ard
endowment of the people He pointed
TO it as only one of the many examples
of the kind in this land where wealth.
emanating from the sovereign people,
flows back from the hands Of those
who gain it in the form of gifts and
benefactions to this sovereign. He de-
scribed the contrast between the theo-
retical and the actual workings of our
form of government which, instead OF
nlacing the wealth and enjoyment OF
the good things of life in the hands OF
a few, has lin widest commonalty
spread" them.
The Presidents speech was probably
taae last extended public address that
he will make before leaving the White
House. This thought may have moved
him to speak with extraordinary feel
ing of that sanctuary where people
may temporarily escape from the pres
sure anE affliction of the affairs of life
and find that quiet and repose which
comes from a closer communion with
the beauties of nature" Certainly the
President was lifted to new poetic
heights when he described the efforts
Of Mr.. Box to preserve the quiet mai
esty of the trees, increase the display
of coloring in the flowers. and combine
stone and marble in the graceful lines
Of the tower. all in a setting surrounded
BY green foliage and reflected In spar
king waters over which the song OF
the nightingale viii mingle with the
music of the bells"
With only four more weeks of public
life before him, the President "cut
loose" in his address from the more
prosaic topics of government and
finance, budgets and deficits and
armored cruisers with which he has
perforce had to deal, and gave his audi
ence a new insight into his character.
As he prepares to leave the White
House one sees him anew as man who
appreciates the significance of natures
sanctuaries, who has an ear for the
songs of the birds, an eye for the bios
SONS of flowers and heart that Is
capable of understanding the spirit of
his country.

II you add these fourteen men to

all the home drinking that any wet

except by the most stringent local pro-
hibition watchfulness, both among
agents OF the state Of Maryland and
agents of the ''local government of
the District of Columbia. That watch
fulness, however, as we have seen, is
not provided in the District of Column

and becomes the object of denuncia-
ton by the more enthusiastic prohi-
bitionists in the course of congress

That is the local situation In the

to the possibility of an era when large

will be stopped by the Federal Govern
ment, but when semi-commercial liquor
manufacture and domestic home liquor
consumption may thrive or may be
checked entirely according to local

Kept by the power OF God through
faith" q Peter, f.5).
"An INDISPENSABLE Faith,


There is a manifest God in the
world for those who care to look for
Him" This was Robert Louis Steven
sons affirmation. 1t is In consonance
with that other ancient word. GOD
sleeps in the stone, dreams in the ami
NAL and wakes in the man." However
men may express it with creeds, or
without creeds, there Is that In the
human heart which calls for and de-
mands an adequate answer to its yearn-
ing. Matthew Arnold had this In mind
when he said we seek a power not OF
ourselves that makes for righteous
ness.
When Donald Hankey wrote his in
teresting book, 1.-THE Student in Arms, "
he described the British Tommy as hav-
ing a religious conviction that was deep.
Ii alarticulate; be summed 1t all up in
the language OF the Tommy ny saying,
Religion is betting ones life there
is a God" To carelessly dismiss this
outward reaching for the divine is to
fail to recognize a universal longing
that discloses itself in Darwin's Pata-
gonian savage as in the higher forms of
civilized life. However we may define
God, however inadequate our attempts
may be to express what we believe to
be His attributes, nevertheless in our
more reflective hours we have the deep
conviction that somehow, someway. We
are kept by the power of God" A
striking Illustration of this is to be
found in an incident told concerning
Rudyard Kipling. In his earlier man
hood he was critically Ill in New York
and his life despaired of. For several
days he had lain In deep coma. One
evening at twilight the nurse. observing
him, noted thet his lips were moving
and thinking that he was returning to
consciousness and was asking for
something. came to his bedside and
leaning her ear heard him utter the
childhood prayer Now lay me down
to Sleep" Much embarrassed, she with
drew from his bedside, and as she did so
the sick man opened his eyes and
started to speak to her. Turning to-
him, she said: II am greatly embar-

A Bathtub Era.

King Zogu 7 of Albania has evidently,
like the Bourbons, learned nothing and
forgotten nothing. It is barely month
since the ambitious Amanullah of At
ghanistan was toppled from his Asian
throne because he ventured to intro
duce westernisms into country that
clings to the anachronisms of its own
ancient culture. Now comes the worlds
newest monarch, zogu, and paves the
way for his coronation in April by
ordaining the installation of bathtubs
in Tirana, his royal capital.
They are making their first appear
ance there" the veracious Associated
Press reports in message which in
dicates afresh that the unwashed por-
tons of the earth are receding day
by day from the engulfing tide of soap
and water. The hardy, mountainous
folk of Albania are no longer content
to remain a race of what Pooh-Bah,
denouncing Ko-Ko and his Xix In THE
Mikado," termed "very imperfect abb
lutioners."
With bathtubs have come Tirana's
first electric lights and telephones. A
trolley line has been projected and a
modern hotel and new hospital are
being built. Either Albanias new mon
arch is a crowned go-getter or Tirana
has an up-and-doing chamber of COM
merce. The A. P. news, at any rate,
reads as if it might have originated
in our own booming West, where men
are men and women are boosters, too
The dissemination of Albania is not
confined to bathtubs. incandescents and
telephones. Streets and highways, under
King zogu's rule, have become safety
zones for the first time in the coun-
| try's history. Formerly-again 1t is the
