Remove Those Pillars!

The District appropriation bill will
probably contain n item for repaving
West Executive avenue, short stretch
Of street that has become holy
physically, not spiritually-from the
footsteps and the automobile tires of
the mighty. If, in connection with the
item for repaving, the Houses of Con-
gress could insert language permitting
the tearing down of the stone pillars
that once supported the iron gates at
the juncture of this street with Penn
sylvania avenue, these Houses of Con-
gress will go down in history as
benefactors of mankind.
When the iron gates were removed
and sent to Ohio to adorn a memorial
there, hope was expressed that at last
a menace to pedestrians and blockade
to automobile traffic had been disposed
Of. But those in charge of taking down
the gates did not construe the act of
Congress authorizing that step as in
Guiding the removal of the stone pillars
supporting the gates. The gates were
removed, but the pillars were left, and
since then nobody seems to have been
able to decide what to do about them.
The pillars, and not the gates them
selves, constituted the dangerous i'm
pediment to trafnc along street that
Is one Of the main entrances to the
park drives south of the White House.
Their existence creates complication
that affects motorists and pedestrians
alike. In addition to dividing north and
south bound trafhc into three lanes at
an intersection, the pedestrians and the
Automobiles are thrown into con-
slant game of hide-and-seek; the
pedestrian being forced to peer eau
tiously around the corner of massive
pillar before venturing to cross to the
protection Of the next one, and the
automobilist never knowing but what
some venturesome fellow viii forget to
peer cautiously and dart from behind
q pillar into the front bumper Of his
automobile.
The pillars are no longer of any use.
They certainly add nothing, archi-
tecturally, either to the White House or
the State, War and Navy Building.
Without their massive iron gates, they
stand alone and forlorn, relics of an
idea that long since has passed into the
limbo Of other times. They should be
taken down.

A Stroke of Genius at
Sixteenth and Harvard

To tlss Editor Of The Star:
I cannot refrain from bursting forth
IN praise Of the brilliant trafdc strate-
gist who has solved the problem Of a
northbound left turn at Sixteenth and
Harvard streets. Until now this prob
lem has remained unsolved for the
better part of q decade, but by the erec-
ton Of a sign, 18th st: Trafnc Right
Lane" he has clarified the situation in
a mastery fashion.
The problem, familiar to all who
travel Sixteenth street, has several
complications. An ornamental island
restricts northbound traflc to two
single file lanes. The intersection is
light-controlled for east, west, south,
but not north-bound traffic. A north
bound traveller, not familiar with this
particular spot, follows the usual Gus
tom and maneuvers his car to the left
lane, expecting q through passage, but
the driver ahead who wishes to turn
left has borne to the left on an I'M
controlled half Of an intersection and
then must halt suddenly as he faces q
light-controlled half. Then comes the
screeching of brakes the clashing Of
bumpers and tenders, the Earring Of
heads and shoulders and the sudden
attempts of the uninitiated to nose into
the moving stream ct the right.
During three years travel, approx
mating 1900 trips, I have witnessed the
foregoing conditions more times than
not. If all the black looks I have seen
dispensed at this place could be trans
nitted into printers ink, well-you can
just imagined
early learned from experience how
to negotiate o passage through, but 1t
was nearly two years before I was able
to determine just which trafnc rules
applied.
And now the new sign makes It all
quite clear.
I can picture the trafdc expert who
finally produced a solution, perspiring
In the wee small hours of the night over
his logarithns, algebraic equations and
slide rules, or whatever he uses TO solve
his problems, and surely he must feel
thrill OF elation when he contemplates
the marvellous result.
More power TO his elbow. say I.

Of unusual Unemployment Is the haicyon
time for the Communist agitatcr.
It may be that the renewed activity
Of Communist propagandists working
upon the school children In the larger
cities--Washington has lately been ex-
periencing such q pestilential enterprise
lis attributable TO the same source OF
inspiration, the million and quarter
fund from the Third International at
Moscow, the Foster fund 1t may be
called. For all their professions of dis
regard for property and capital" the
Communist agitators have a high re-
spect for income. That these proselyters
Of youth are under pay, and probably
fairly good pay at that, is not to be
doubted. There may be few zealots
who give themselves freely to the
cause" But 1t is to be noted that most
of the professional Communists, leaders,
agitators and demonstrators are well
kept persons, not in the least horrid
examples of suffering and privation, VIC
tins Of the cruel tyrant Capitalism"
If this demonstration occurs it must
be met vigorously. Those who break
the laws and municipal ordinances by
holding meetings or conducting process
sions without permit, by engaging in
riotous conduct and melting disorder
must be punished. While there are
times when it is well to ignore the.
trivial, juvenile activities of mani
testers, attacks upon the public peace
must be met with stern hand.

Youth of the Land No
Worse Than in the Past
10 the EDITOR 81 The star.

To the Editor Of The Star:
have read with great interest the
speech OF Bishop Freeman appearing
IN The Star, in which he states that the
youth Of this country are going to hell"
That Is a lamentable and disastrous
thing. Now, II the youth Of this glo-
riouS country are "going to hell" as
Bishop Freeman says, and he ought to
know, then we have no one to blame
but ourselves, and not youth. It is up
TO those who are guiding our affairs
who are to share the responsibility, but
I cannot imagine that the youth of the
United States are going to that place
where 1t is too warm to be comfortable.
and while ] am willing to admit that
strong potationS and stronger explosives
are more common than they used to
be among the boys and girls Of this age,
investigation shows, or seems to show,
that they are no worse than they were
centuries ago.
And If the youth of today are wav-
ering from the right road they are only
the victims of the sins of those who
have failed to do their duty by them.
A little more spirit of Christ would
certainly not hurt our people, and it is
up to the church to see that this spirit
Is more widely cultivated In every ac-
ton Of our daily lives. There Is more
than one way to halt the stampeding
herd, but then II is not wise to quarrel
with ones bread and butter.
However, the conditions of which
Bishop Freeman complains are prevalent
in the remotest parts of the earth, and
the trouble Is to be attributed to ma
terialistic age in which we are living,
and unless the world ceases worshipine
this horrible monster-materialis
the picture is too terrible to contem-
plate or to consider.

March 6, Communist Day.

II present plans Of the Third Inter-
Aationals, the central Communist or
gsnizatton at Moscow, are carried into
eneet. according TO information lately
obtained by agents Of the Department
OF Justice, a worldwide demonstration
VIII take place in the chief cities Of
Europe and the United States. On that
date, it Is understood, there will be
Communist manifestations, parades,
speeches, and perhaps violence.
The United States has been included
IN the program. but not merely for
the March demonstration. As a mat
ter Of fact, q fund has been provided
for a continuous performance in this
country for six months, beginning jan
uary ]. This fund, 1t is reported, was
recently cabled from Berlin to the credit
Of William 2. Foster, amounting to
81 100000. It Is to be spent in dnanc-
ing demonstrations such as that which
occurred recently In the name Of the
unemployed Of Chicago. Probably the
Communist meetings and parades In
New York City that have lately been
held were stimulated from the same
source.
Advantage, It seems, Is to be taken
Of the fact that there Is at present .
considerable increase in unemployment
IN this country, due 70 the slowing
down OF industries in part caused by
the stock market slump Of the Autumn.
whatever the cause, however, period
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-02-28

would have been brought TO an end.
It is quite possible that this assured
outcome Of ministerial defeat gave
the government the necessary majority.
Yet It Is noted that when this same bill
reached the point Of passing to its
second reading the government won
by only eight votes, the totals .being
2sl to 27S, while yesterday the vote
was $50 to All. This, therefore, would
appear to be the present margin Of
the Labor government in Parliament,
It's hold on life, as 1t were.
Defeat Of the Tardieu ministry, which
occurred shortly after the conference
met, did not precipitate its dissolution
for the reason that France Is q dele
gate member Of the conference and not
the host. The conference is the In
ception and inspiration of Prime Min
lister Macdonald. His defeat, even on
question entirely separate from naval
limitation or security guarantee or re-
nunciation of war, would necessitate
at least the suspension of the con-
ference If not its abandonment.
Things have not gone particularly
we'll at London. in the course Of the
conference. There have been difncul-
ties in preliminary discussions, diff
ferences between the Mediterranean
powers, the injection of the question Of
a security pact, the French ministerial
crisis. which, together with Andre Tar
deus illness, checked the program.
But there Is still high hope of success.
All of the i've governments represented
are sincerely DESTROYS of finding q
means for tightening the burden Of
naval ornaments and lessening the
chances Of war. A will to win is mani
fest. The domestic politics of France
and of England should not negative this
endeavor.

Women in Industry.
From the Albany Evening News.

FROM the Albany evening news.
a One young woman remarked recently
that all the middle-aged or elderly
women she knew used to be school
teachers" The explanation Of that In
that teaching was almost the only pro-
fession open to young women years ago.
Miss Frances Perkins, State industrial
commissioner, now points out that there
are three times as many women in In
dustry as there were IS years ago.
Industry, she says, is adapting itself
TO the needs and interests of woman
workers, and declared that men have
not attempted to keep women out Of
the industries.
The industrial world twas a mans
world" she says, but In certain fields
where women's work has become vital
industry has changed to obtain their
services. Industries have operated on
q part-time basis in some instances to
permit woman employees to return to
their homes early for their household
duties.
1.-THE home as an economic institu-
ton has passed out OF our lives" SAYS
Miss Perkins. "Girls no longer And
enough to do at home, and must 20 out
Of it If they are to be Of any economic
importance whatever"
We wonder If that is really true, If,
indeed, the home as an economic in
stitution has passed out of the lives of
women. In q sense It is true, and in
most families girls must work or they
are merely living on what some one else
earns. Yet there Is an economic part
nership and some girls are needed at
home. 1t Is doubtful If the home has
altogether passed as an economic in
stitution, but 1t has to a large extent.
