Wants Public Protected
From the HI-Bred Dogs
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
On the morning Of May So 1890,
about 8 o'clock, was walking north
ward on Eighteenth street between u
street northwest and Columbia road.
AS I neared Wyoming street I was at
tackled by police dog, who held me at
bay for five minutes or more before
the janitor of an apartment house
came out into the street and called the
dog in. I did not see the dog until I
saw him rushing toward me- barking
and swapping his teeth. When I
passed the house I told the janitor
that he ought to keep his dog on the
inside.
Why that dog attacked me I do not
know. I am sure never provoked
him or did him harm. I have seen
other dogs challenge the right of a
stranger to pass in front of his mas
ter's dwelling, and we all know that
the public highways are for men and
women and children, and these deserve
protection from ill-bred dogs.
It Is possible for one to care more
for the life and safety of a dog than
for the life and safety Of a human be-
ing. Let the people who must have
dogs give them the freedom of their
own premises, and let men and women
and children enjoy the freedom Of the
public streets in safety.

Weather in the Mind.

This has been, to date. an excep-
tionally warm year.
The accumulated temperatures since
New Year show an excess of 442 de-
grees above normal, according to the
official records Of the Weather Bureau.
Yet, strange to say, there probably is
a majority opinion that it has been
an exceptionally cold year. Overcoat
weather seems to have continued longer
into the Spring months. April's shower
Of white petals was late in falling.
Mays roses were late In poisoning.
The solution Of this apparent enigma
lies in the fact that the Weather
Bureaus instruments record actual
temperatures and other meteorological
phenomena rather than the complex
of sensory stimuli which make up
weather sensations. The statistical
tables are compounded of facts rather
than ideas. 1t would be difficult to
find a better example of the great gull
that often exists between the two.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

said, as the hardest work q man does
in the whole year"
The Washington police force, whose
pay everybody except Representative
Simmons of Nebraska wants to see
raised, evidently has some good pals
among the traffic officers of a certain
State adjacent to the District Of Co
lumbia. At any rate, Representative
vestal, Republican, OF Indiana, thinks
so. The Hoosier statesman was motor
ing back to Washington from outside
the District at pretty good clip the
other day. Presently he found himself
being hedged in by q bluecoat on q
speeding motor cycle. The cop asked
the Representative to move curbward
Instead Vestal went into conference
with the officer. While somewhat wordy
exchanges proceeded, the Indianan
drew nearer and nearer to the Dlstr ltd
line. AS the Capitol dome hove into
view, the officer threatened to invoke
his authority. Don't know whether you
can, buddy" Vestal rejoined, cheerily.
You see, I'm on my way to the House
to vote for the police pay-increase bill.
Smiles wreathed the cops rudy face, as
he waved his hand, and calculated,
step on 1t, old-timer!"
Ferdinand l.. BelinS retirement from
the foreign service is the latest-but
probably not the last-resignation to be
attributed to our diplomatic career
mems" downheartedness over their fu-
ture. Minister Phillips resignation from
the legation in Canada, Minister Mac
Murray'S abandonment of the Chinese
mission and Minister Young's relln-
uuishment of the Bolivian post are all
interpreted as signs of disgust with the
present trend In the foreign service.
Career men who've been giving their
best for years in minor and unpleasant
posts, counting on advancement, see the
ministerial and diplomatic pluns sys-
tematically given to deserving business
men with political recommendations.
Mr.. Belin has spent Is years in the
service, including assignments at Peklng,

representative Of her three great par

mission. Sir John Simon, its chairman,
Is q Liberal, but Labor has two respect

them have become members Of the

Of the Simon commission is, in any
event, q prima facie guarantee that it
speaks the voice of united British pub
lie sentiment, broadly considered.
Dispatches from India reflect that
the initial Simon report evokes mixed
emotions. Evidently the independent
extremists expected a full gulp Of graft
flcation Of their demands. Hindu lead
ers criticize the report severely. The
native press, summarizing sentiment in
the Indian National CongreSs-the po-
litical organization behind the Gandhi
acknowledgements the preliminary
Simon findings as an insult to india"
The Bombay Chronicle declares that
the commissions report as infinitely
worse than It's critics feared" The
British Times of India retorts that
the report provides q comprehensive
survey and review Of conditions through
out the land" The commission names
among the most fundamental, and de-
plorable, of those conditions the an
cfent social and economic customs to
which midas hundreds of millions
cling with such tenacity' Sir John
Simon and his colleagues do not shrink
from describing these practices and
shibboleths as evils gnawing fatally at
the roots Of progress.
There is to be q round-table talk at
London in october, at which both Brit

Of revolt The guess is safe that John

Britain Looks at India.

The long-awaited report on condi-
lions In India from the commission
headed by Sir John Simon has now
been published at London. It Is mere
~ q preliminary document devoted to
presentation of basic facts, and Is con-
spicuously devoid of recommendations.
The obvious purpose is to prepare Brit
ish public opinion for the subsequent
report which, it is expected, will state
some conclusions and propose certain
remedies for coping with the political
crisis. The final section is due on
June "a.
The Simon report just issued reaf-
firms government as the goal Of
British policy in India, but does not
disguise the. vast difficulties which stand
In the way. If dominion status

Senate Should Have
All the Treaty Data
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
I cannot agree, in whole or part, with
the philosophy of your editorial of
Sunday captioned Respecting Conf
denceS." You go far afield to try TO
convince your readers of the correctness
of your reasoning. You quote, but only
in part, from communication of
President Washington to the House in
re the Jay treaty. You either willfully.
or otherwise, suppress that portion Of
President Washington's communication
to the House, wherein he tells the
House he had sent all the communica-
tons in re the Jay treaty to the United
States Senate. Why did you suppress
the latter portion of President wash
ington's communication? Is The Star
trying to bolster up Secretary StimSon
and cry down Senator Hiram johnson?
Two treaty-making partners should
each have every iota Of information
first hand, not through second hands or
paraphrases. The United States can
only make a treaty with the consent
and advice of the United States Senate.
How can the Senate advise and con-
sent unless it has every fact, either
prior to or during the drawing up Of
the treaty? In the present cas6
between the United States
and Epgland. w. Z. RYAN.

Muzzling of Dogs
Is Opposed by Heap
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
In the issue Of The Star of May 81
appears an editorial Problems Of the
Pound Master IN which 1t Is stated,
in effect, that all dogs in the District
should be muzzled from January to
December 81, each year. Which means
all the time. This statement Is bolStered
up by citations of numerous items In
the press noting cases of children being
bitten by dogs. AS far back as history
goes, people have been bitten by dogs,
but only in comparatively recent years
has any more attention been paid to
1t than to any other injury.
Now, it seems, owing to the continued
propaganda of physicians seeking trade
and serum manufacturers seeking
market for their output, If a person,
especially a child is so much as
scratched by the teeth of a dog, great
hullabaloo Is raised over it, the child is
rushed to a hospital and undergoes
treatment far more painful and dan
gerous than would have resulted from
the original dog bite, and the offending
animal is sent to the pound or some
other place for observation, or his head
Is cut of and its brain subjected to
inspection and analysis.
If small black spot is discovered on
any part of the brain, the dog is said
to have the rabies and the child Is
given the so-called Pasteur treatment
and its family goes into Mysteries.
Eminent physicians state that these
black spots on the brain of dogs are
common to numerous other diseases in
no way related to rabies.
The writer has been secretary Of the
Humane Society of Washington for the
past rs years and in that capacity has
had occasion to observe and come into
contact with dogs under all conditions
and has yet to hear of single authentic
case of genuine rabies in dogs or human
beings in the District. regard the bite
of dog as no more dangerous than
similar wound from any other cause
This society is opposed to the muzzling
Of dogs at any time, believing it to be
entirely unnecessary, cruel and useless.
When any one is bitten by a dog 1t
invariably will be found on investigation
that the animal was being tormented
or abused In some way by the person
bitten, or was guarding the person or
property of its owner. If children were
taught to let dogs alone, especially
strange ones, not tease or mistreat them,
and stay off the premises where there
was a watchdog on guard, fewer cases
of dog bites would occur. The remedy
lies, not in muzzling dogs, but in
exercising common sense in their treat
ment. JOHN P. HEAP, Secretary,
washington Humane Society.

Reckless Bicycle Riders
Are Classed as Menace

To the Editor Of The Star:
AS some fatal accidents have been
caused by the reckless operation of
bicycles propelled by pedals and as they
are continually increasing in number,
some definite means of identifying their
riders should be required by our Dis
trict Commissioners or the Traffic
Bureau. The white and colored boys
who use these machines often operate
them on the sidewalks and the wrong
way on one-way streets, endangering
pedestrians and themselves. Every one
Of these machines should have legible
number conspicuously attached to 1t,
the name and address Of the rider reg
1stered at the Traffic Bureau, and these
riders should be subject to similar rules
and regulations as those applying to
auto and motor cycle operators. An
age requirement should be needed to
operate these machines on the roadway,
and operation strictly prohibited on the
sidewalks and crosswalks.
Before these machines became so
numerous as they are today it was all
right to let them operate without SAFE
guards such as here suggested, but any
casual observer will agreesthat the time
has come for the authorities to require
some such precautions to protect pedes-
TRANS and the riders themselves. They
are becoming a menace to this COM
munity and badly need regulating.

A Tribute to Late
Police Capt. Reilly
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
A policeman's job is generally con-
sidered an enemy-making position. but
such was not the case with that Of the
late police captain. Martin Reilly, who
recently commanded the sixth precinct,
431 New Jersey avenue, and the regrets
Of his fellow officers are also shared by
the law-abiding citizens of his pre-
cinct. Capt. Reilly died on Friday.
June 6, at GEORGETOWN Hospital, and
resided at 1923 Wisconsin avenue. No
6 police precinct has been lucky
in the selection of its command
ing officers, beginning with the late
Lieut.. John F. Kelly and Capt. Robert
E. Doyle, now in command OF the
eighth precinct. When desirable men
are put in such responsible posi-
lions its reflection extends through the
whole department and meets with the
approval of all good citizens, including
those in the legislative branch OF the
Government, whose. positions make
them temporary residents here:

effective means of enforcing safe con-
duo6 at all times by drivers is the threat
of losing the privilege of driving which
licensing system holds before their
eyes. States like Texas that fail to
license motorists and chauffeurs cannot
escape moral responsibility" The BIZ
mingham News adds its testimony that
obviously the States in which no license
is required-and Alabama is one OF
them-are in greatest need of uniform
ity and Standardization" That paper
also advocates employment Of tratnc
lanes on country highways"
Progress in safety efforts is seen BY
the Oakland Tribune in "a co-ordinated
program, with leadership and supporters
in every State" and as an example OF
effective effort it holds that "educa-
tional work conducted In the schools,
with young drivers and with boys ana
girls as safety officers at the crossing
when school is being dismissed, has
saved many lives"
Figures from the Department of Com
merce are quoted by the San Antonio
Evening News to show that lin 10 large
cities during the four weeks ending May
II traffic accidents caused sos deaths.
AS the identical number was killed In
the preceding four week period, there Is
ground for thankfulneSs that the condi-
ton did not grow worse, as 1t usually
does with the coming of warm weather."
thinks the News. Referring to local
statistics, 1t finds abundant room for
improvement"
ut is incontrovertible," believes the
Helena (Mont.) Record-Herald, that
the modern motor car can be driven
with greater safety at higher speeds in
city traffic than models of four or five
years ago, but it behooves every driver
to bear in mind the destructive force OF
speed" AS a contributing factor, 1t
quotes reports that Is per cent of the
fatalities in, 1929 "were caused by de-
fectS in motor vehicles" and holds that
of compulsory periodic inspection" The
GAINESVILLE Signal also emphasizes the
fact that ''many accidents are caused
by faulty brakes, batteries and other
mechanical parts of cars which have
not had frequent inspection"
Pennsylvania's Inauguration some
months ago of the practice of inspect
ing cars testing brakes and looking over
equipment" is mentioned by the Youngs-
town Vindicator, with the statement Of
results: About million and a half
cars in that State were inspected, two
thirds of which had faulty lights, 10000
needed new brake Innings, more than
10000 had unsafe steering apparatus,
and more than three times this number
needed steering apparatus adjustment:
about a third were without rear-view
mirrors" Endorsing conclusions to be
drawn, the Vindicator also notes efforts
toward improvement in Massachusetts,
and Ohio.

no pleasurable or painful sensations
1t has no memories. The thermometer
responds to only one factor in the stu
ation-the actual temperature. A
human being responds to a great many
factors in the total situation and the
result Is the individuals sensation OF
temperature. So far as o man or
woman is concerned the heat Of the
day or Of an indefinite number OF
days depends not only on the actual
heat but on mental states Of depres-
sion or exaltation, on the degree OF
physical well-being, on whether the
sky Is clear or overcast, on the con-
dition Of the foliage. The human
organism Is neither a good thermometer
nor a good statistical machine.
The instrument has nothing to do but
record temperatures and it stays on the
Job "a hours a day. The human mind
has a great many other things to do.
The actual state Of the temperature, it
is probable, only enters consciousness
when it is closely associated with some
thing else. The temperature sensation
Of day may become hxed in the mem
DRY in a moment.
Most deceptive of all is the element Of
memory. We think this Winter was hot
ter or colder than last Winter. Actually
we do not remember how hot or cold 1t
was year ago. All that we remember
and very vaguely-is the state OF the
temperature on certain brief occasions
In the past when it happened to be so
closely associated with other elements
in the situation that it was stamped in
the mind. Our ideas Of last Winters
temperature are derived from a few OBJ
servations, at the best, with very In
accurate thermometer-them mind.
The Weather Bureau is concerned only
with facts. Meteorological phenomena
depend entirely on facts. Sensations
have no predicting value. Men and
women, on the other hand, have no i'm
mediate interest in facts as such since
they live in a world made up of the
sensations that arise from facts.
