st find, unfortunately, both for the
Congress and the people of the District
of Columbia, that there is a misunder-
standing that should be cleared up.
Congress seems TO be in the attitude
of being against everything that the
people of the District of Columbia
want. This is unfortunate. Congress
undertakes TO criticize the people of the
District because the tax rate is $1.70.
That is held up as an illustration OF
why Congress should be hostile to the
people of the District of Columbia. AS a
matter Of fact the people of the Dis
trict Of Columbia have nothing to say
about what their tax rae should be. This
House fixes his tax rate for the District
of Columbia and this House must accept
the responsibility for the low tax rate
In the District.
I'VE provide in this bill that the
authorities of the District of Columbia
shall not have the authority to reduce
the tax rate below $1.70 notwithstand-
ing the fact that this tax rate has Gre

TEMPORARY ABODES

For eight years throughout the cities and towns Of the
United States the trend has been toward apartments
rather than toward single houses or houses in pairs and
rows. Each year the rate of apartment house construc-
ton increases and the proportion of apartment house
jewellers grows.
This implies social tendencies which, while less easy
TO appraise than the economic. are Of concern TO all. Al
ways q race OF nomads, Americans are rapidly deserving
their single family houses for the apartment The move
ment began in the large cities. but is now spreading to the
small city and towr.
One result Of the change Is a growing sense of i'm
permanence. which has always been strong among us.
The idea Of the "old homestead" has always doomed larger
in fiction than In fact. This was inevitable in a new
country where the incentives for frequent Fittings"
have always been strong, and where the European GUS
tom Of preserving property intact for a single heir has
never widely prevailed.
This heightened preference for apartment life is the
last break with the rural tradition, the last step in URBAN
ization. The apartment nomads have an advantage even
over the Arabs who must fold up their tents.
In defense Of the old homestead let it be said. however.
that when modern cliff dwelers become established
geographically and financially their first thought Is for
an isolated country home or wilderness cottage.

Editorial Comment
THE vALOR OF OLD AGE
chicago Tribune

There is a familiar irony in the willingness of youth to
any risk at all. Youth in this view Is valorous. old age
timorous. youth CALAMITY ready to throw life away when
It's expectancy is greatest. age jealousy guarding the
contrast, but there Is some misunderstanding of the sit
uation. It Is not only that youths willingness to stake
inability to value its riches. But there is more in the
matter than that. There is a valor Of old age as well as
Of youth. and It is Z finer thing than Its shining fore
runner. It Is harder to be brave when the battle turns
against you. when the sword arm wearies, the blows Of
fortune ache. and hopes of the laurel wither one by one.
Age is a long and unremitting struggle against the In
evtable and incorrigible offensive Of time. There are few
of us that can very heartily echo Ben Ezra: Grow old
along with me. the best Is yet to be, the last of life for
which the first was planned" There Is an i-reconcilable
magic in youth which duls the buffets Of experience,
keeps a glow alive in establishment, and an uncon-
querable hope through disappointment. Age fights with
no such glorious reserves at its shoulder, and to cast up
the account in candor only reveals how few are its COM
pensations. There are offsets, but 1t Is wiser not to strike
the balance. Age fights on grimly against the tide and
its courage is greater than youths.

job.
The automobiles that our machine manned factories
turn out kill more than 10000 people every year. and no.
body dreams OF getting excited about it.
Law enforcement officers, when they suspect a person
OF smuggling, shoot him first and investigate afterwards,
The coal that heats our houses and furnishes steam for
our industries Is taken from the ground AT the cost Of
scores OF lives annually: yet no one suggests that that
price is scandalouSly high.

indefinitely. And. In the end. what you would prove
would be just this: that the individual is coming to
count for less and less in our civilization each year. He is
being lost tract OF in the whirring Of machinery and the
confusion Of modern haste.
Sc the rise OF our murder rates is only a reflection of
the happening OF human life that has taken place all

HONESTY

Just = little while ago Haywood Broun made the nice
and novel point, though Pope had put It before. that
while so many persons conceive evil or error to be the in
stinctive thing and attractive thing. their agreement on
that does not prove their knowledge. He made a defense
Of the notion Of the noble savage" Il must contend"
he went on. that within my own experience most Of the
decent acts which I have ever done, or seen In others,
were matters less Of principle than Of impulse"
A happy and h~eartening testimony in q world where
the most modern Of things still must reckon with the
most ancient. which Is the nature of man.
Did not Sir Francis Bacon find that There is in hu-
man nature. generally. more of the fool than Of the wise"
And Spencer held that the highest type Of human nature
Is nonresident.
But what Of the starving painter who. unseen, found
$4,000 and rushed it to its owner? And what. also. Of
the immigrant who starved to death saving money for
his family back in the old country?
From these things all sorts of thought trains might
be started. They are commentaries on a great deal. But
whatever more they may be, they are also witnesses to the
honesty and kindness which are matters of impulse
rather than Of principle. In the blur Of the vast modern
world It Is good to note honesty SO simple and complete.

WHO READS THE BIBLE?

Deep in the Maine woods. on the shores of Lake Malta
wamkeag. is Bible Point. q thick tongue of land extend
ing into the waters. The name derives from an iron box,
nailed to a tree, and containing a Bible. Above the box
is this legend: This place, to which q great man in his
youth liked to come and commune with God and the
wonder and beauty of the visible world. is dedicated to
the happy memory Of Theodore Roosevelt. Stranger, rest
here and consider what one man, having faith In the
right. and love for his fellows. was able to do for his
country"
Who reads the Bible? Prof. Phelps. on being asked for
a list of the famous people who have gone to 1t for faith,
love and duty. replied. Just take the names In the Eng
lish and American Who's Who You can copy them at
your leisure" He added that nobody can have any real
roots In the English language who does not know and
read the Bible.
It is still the finest book on morals. manners and re-
lision in the world. In its compact library are master
pieces OF poetry. drama. philosophy. sociology and ethics
Between its covers are the biographies of some OF the
most powerful personases who ever lived. Some read the
Bible as Roosevelt did, to find guidance In conduct.
Some read 1t as the fountainaead Of pure English
Some read It to ease the hard rough places Of life with
the lifting power of inspiration. IS
For whatever purpose, the Bible still remains the out
standing best seller among the books Of men.

THE BEST TIME FOR FAsTs

THE BEST TIME FOR FASTS
Bountiful summertime brings US q
profusion Of the most healthful n
tasty foods. This Is the time when
nature produces the greatest quantity
of the cleansing fresh juicy fruits ana
the succulent vegetables. Now is the
time when people who have III health
should make up their minds to become
well.
Many people object to the winter.
time for fasting and dieting because
they complain of feeling chilly. but
this excuse does not exist during
warm weather. When surrounded by
warmth. the body Is more capable OF
eliminating catarrhal troubles ana
rheumatic toxins.
The profusion Of bulky vegetables
makes the summertime an excellent
season for overcoming constipation.
In other words. summertime Is n
perfect purifying season to those who
wish to take advantage OF its oppor-
tunities.
This Is an ideal time to start the
out-of-door habit. When q beautiful
summer day comes along, you feel
that it is q shame to waste 1t indoors.
Take advantage Of this feeling and
go out into the sunshine and fraR-
rant summer air. At this period the
flowers, the songbirds, the freshness
of nature. and wide spaces are watt
ing to be enjoyed. There Is no X
cuse now for keeping your windows
down. Open them up and let the
fresh. health-giving air circulate
throughout the house.
Summertime Is vacation time. Ev-
eryone should undergo q complete
change Of environment, at least once
each year. Changing our old habits
and developing new interests will pre-
vent physical and mental stagnation.
Nothing tends to prolong youth more
than . good circulation OF blood and
ideas.
Give your body q chance to profit
by the cleansing harmonies OF ma
ture. You can now avoid those heavy,
| dulling foods, and make up Of the
lighter. succulent. energizing. living
summer food crops. The heat gives
us q natural inclination toward the
juicy fruits. the melons and the fresh.
crisp salads. Don't make the mistake
Of substituting the heavy sugared
soda soft beverages for the fresh, pure
fruit juices.
The body cleanses itself through
Precipitation. Help 1t out by drinking
plenty Of water and taking frequent
showers or swims. You need prac-
tically none of the heating foods.
Those who are trying to reduce will
find that they can live on nothing
but fruits and vegetables until they
have reduced to normal. Nature
tempts us to make this a season Of
re%juvenation. Why not resolve to
profit by the healthful aid Of the
summertime.
