RutkOwski's Pool
Should Be Licensed

To the Editor Of The star:
The editorial in The Star showing
such appreciation OF the efforts OF young
Frank Rutkowski is most worthy OF
public commentator. Warrington Is
sadly lacking in splash pools ana places
of comfort for little people during the
extreme heat and, sad As 1t may seem,
it IL too true that the hand Of the law
once in q while comes down too hard
upon the children longing to md COM
fort in the "old swirnmin' hole" There's
too much bunk" about insanitary con-
di.ions in the outdoor creeks. when
chlorine in the pools works such havoc
with eyes, ears, skin and throat.
Col. Grant, director of Public Parks
and Grounds, has endeavored during
his entire incumbency of this ONCE to
secure appropriations to be used in
making small pools in the Fairgrounds
and parks 20 that the children might
be comfortable He has even told the
policemen to be lenient WITH the chill
dren who found the fountains too aliur-
ing to resist wading into them.
The citizens association In Frank
Rutkowskis neighborhood should see
in this pool q social agency and pay
the license fee and give to this boy
medal for his industry. initiatireness
and executive ability, besides naming
him the controller Of the pool to keep
it In A sanitary condition.

Footprints as a Sure
Identification Mark

To the Editor Of The Star;
Feeling sure that the continued pub
licity of the case of the Chicago babies
that may or may not have been mixed
is causing great mental strain to pro-
spective parents and in view OF the fact
that such mental strain Is not good for
the unborn child, desire to call to the
attention Of everybody that there Is
no excuse for another such occurrence,
especially in washington. When my
daughter was born at Columbia Hos
pital in 1928 they had already insti-
tuted a practice that prevents any
mix-up at the hospital and also pro-
vided not only positive and perpetual
Identification as to the individual per-
sonality of the child, but an equally
positive and perpetual Identification OF
the relationship to the mother.
I refer to the taking Of the sole
prints Of both feet Of the newborn
infant and the recording on the same
record OF the fingerprints OF the
mother
The fngerprints are not complete at
birth, but the footprints never change
from birth to death.
I presume that this practice Is gen
eral In ali washington hospitals. but If
not, 1t aSsuredly can be had upon re-
quest and also any physician can ar
range to have 1t done in ones own
home. r. 8. ROBERTS.

remain outside Of the League to work
out It's own destiny. Tea years ago the
fight in the Senate on American ad-
rlerence to the League was recently over.
Senator Harris, a strong supporter Of
President Wilson and his party, had
made no opposition to the entry of the
United states into the League. To-day
apparently it has become necessary to
state with denniteness that he is OPP
posed TO American entry into the
League. II is quite true that no pro-
posal is now being advanced actively
that the United States join the League.
There is, however, the proposal that the
United states JOIN in the World Court,
under the terms of the so-caIled Root
formula. designed to make unnecessary
the Senate reservations which were OBJ
jected to by member nations of the
court President Hoover has announced
he will urge the Senate to agree to the
nronosal now advanced for American
adherence to the court. Opponents OF
the League of Nations insist that the
World Court as now constituted is the
League of Nations Court and that ad-
herence by this country to the court
constitutes kind of back door entry
into the League.
Senator Swanson Of Virginia, ranking
Democratic member Of the Senate For
eiso Relations Committee. has declared
the Root formula satisfactory. Senator
swanson was the author OF the reser-
yations accepted by the Senate when 1t
orieinalIy adopted a resolution ratifyins
the protocol of adherence. Despite this
fact, however, there looms real fight
in the senate over the World Court
PROPOSAL when it comes again before
that body. 1t has been urged that With
the ratification of the Kellogg pact re-
no,,ncing war the need OF a World
Court to settle international disputes
has become all the more imperative.
The sentiment in this country is strong
for peace and the maintenance OF ami
cable international relations. This SEN
tirnent will doubtless be exerted strongly
in favor of entry into the World Court.
But declarations such as that made by
Senator Harris in Georgia give hope to
the irreconcilables.

Identification Of Weapons.

Two bAllistics experts have now iden-
lined the weapon held by the Virginia
poliee as that which was used in the
Staying of Mary Baker. DR.. Wilmer
souder of the Bureau Of STANDARDS
early pronounced it to be the same as
that from which bullets were fired into
the body of the young woman. Now
Col. Calvin Goddard, perhaps the fore
most expert in this line in America,
has confirmed the identification. Thus
IL may be definitely accepted that this
pistol was that used by the slayer. 1t
now remains for the law to identity
the user of the weapon.
This process of recognizing the pc
culiariLies-they might almost be said
to be the personalities-of guns has
been brought to the point of an ac-
curate science. It was long ago recog-
nized that however precise the opera
ton of manufacture it was impossible
TO produce two weapons exactly alike in
their action and effect. Rifiing might
be executed in the barrel with the ut
most nicely and yet there would De
minute differences, idiosyncrasies as it
were. The composition Of bullets diff
fer, likewise The impingement OF
the softer metal of the missile upon
the harder metal of the gun barrel
causes dehections from normal due to
tnese differences In each.
Countless tests have proved beyond
doubt the possibility of establishing the
sdentity of gun provided q bullet fired
from it can be produced sufficiently
intact in form to enable the observer
to read the record OF its markings.
This is not always possible. In some
eases the bullets are not to be found,
or are battered and SCARED. But
when in true shape, preserving all the
scorinRs of the rifiing, the mortal mis-

A New Queen of the Skies.

For the first time in eleven years a
British airship has crossed the Atlantic
and the progress of lighter-than-air
craft design in this period of more than
a decade is strikingly shown in the diff
ference in speed. In 1919 the dirigible
R-34 made it's historic flight from
Scotland to New York in an elapsed
time of one hundred and eight hours.
Yesterday the commander Of the R-l00
triumphantly radioed to eager watchers
on the ground at Montreal that the
maiden voyage of his ship would con-
sumo no more than seventy hours. That
it actually took seventy-nine hours to
arrive At its destination was due to an
unfortunate accident to stabilizins nm
which. combined with inclenient weather.
forced the worlds biggest and newest
dirigible to proceed almost at a snaifs
pace IN the short hop between Quebec
ard Montreal. But even with seventy
nine hours elapsed time the difference of
twenty-nine hours stands out as strik-
ing achievement in airship progress.
Another sharp contrast was noted
when the R-100 slid up to her especially
constructed mast at Montreal after COW
erins three thousand three hundred and
thirtv-four miles without a stop. Five
tons of fuel remained in her tanks,
whereas the R-34 when It limped into
New York eleven years ago had prac-
t'cslly used the last drop OF her
fuel and so serious was the situation
then that landing crews were sent
SQUIRTING all the way from New YORK
to Montauk Point in case she had to be
hauled down for lack of motive power
There is no question that in the
R-100 and the R-101, her sister SNIP
the British possess two Of the finest air.
craft in the world. OF course, 1t Is too
early to prophssy that they may sur
pass the exploits of the famous Graf
Zeppelin. but it is significant to note
that the R-100 has completed the fastest
crossing of the Atlantic of any airship.
The Graf Zeppelin is of the rigid type
while the R-10O is of the seni-rigid
class. and in this connection 1t is
especially interesting to note, that
although shorter and thicker but
larger than the Graf IN total
cubic capacity, the R-1o0 has shown
much the greater speed. 1t may well
be. of course, that the British craft was
blessed with exceptionally favorable
weather conditions which would account
for its fast trip, but at the present
moment, at least, it holds the I'M
disputed transatlantic record and de-
servedly is hailed as the new Queen Of
the Skies.

Will he conf1ne himself to writing let
tiers such as the one he's just addressed
to Representative Reece, Republican, of

is universally acknowledged that the
President. with all the handicaps he
faces, remains immeas urably stronger
with the country than Congress is: No
one can plead the administration

than the President himself The Re-
publican leadership is likely to be found
urging that Hoover throw himself heart

with a bias piece or neatly made around
