is doubt as to the actual need Of
keeping all Of these records. Prob
ably three-fourths OF the material
could be destroyed without an appre-
ciable percentage of chance of injury
to public interest. Yet the administra-
tive authorities are loath to recon-
mend and Congress is unwilling to APP
prove such destruction.
For long time the Government has
been moving around from house to
house in its administrative organiza-
ton, and every time 1t has moved by
bureaus or by departments it has had to
take care of these rapidly growing
masses of paper materials, which con-
stitute a serious fire risk, and which
are a dangerous dead weight in any
but the stoutest of modern construc-
tons. II would be interesting to know
the present tonnage of all this mass of
record material. For a long time the
Government has been paying rent for
much of 1t, adding heavily to the bill
written against the Federal admins
tration on the score of its inadequate
housing.
Occasionally proposals are made for
a systematic clearing out of the old
records of the Government, but they
come to naugllt, and with each post
ponement or rejection the problem in
creases as the volume of Government
business grows and the mass of record
material grows with it. With the erec-
ton of thc Hall of Archives and the
assemblage in it in good order of the
Government files of non-current rec
ords. opportunity will be afforded for
a systematic study of these papers
primarily to make them more available
for historical research, which is today
made almost impossible by dispersal
and unsystematic keeping.

The Ill Wind May Blow Good.

Forecaster Mitchell Of the Weather
Bureau yesterday expressed himself Of
the belief that the remnants of the
hurricane that ravaged Santo Domingo
last Wednesday may hook up with an
atmospheric disturbance now develop
ing west of the Rocky Mountains and
that the conjunction may break the
drought that has affected a large por-
ton Of the United States for many
weeks. The hypothesis of this predic-
ton is that the hurricane is bringing
into the continental area mass OF
moist warm air, which, in combination
with the colder air from the Rockies,
will precipitate general showers, with
the low" moving In northeasterly
direction. This would sweep the coun-
try with refreshing rains practically
throughout the area Of the most serious
drought.
If this is the fact the people OF this
country will benefit from the storm that
has wrought such terrible destruction
in Santo Domingo. The whole story
of that catastrophe has not yet been
told. Each hour adds to the horror
of the revelation as the stricken land
is explored and the extent of the dew
astation is disclosed. The number OF
dead In the island is now set at 1000,
with more than 5000 injured, with
80, 900 homeless and with property
damage of more than $4,000 900.
No accurate estimate Of the damage
done in the United States by the
drought is possible, but the losses incl
dent to the protracted period OF arid
heat must rise high into the millions.
The effects OF the drought will be felt
for some time after relief has come In
the form of rains. Economic ruin may
have been suffered by many thousands,

Steps Well Directed.

A step in the right direction has been
taken by local dairy firm which is
equipping its horse-drawn vehicles with
rubber tires and its horses with rubber
bottomed shoes.
In addition a system of "shushes,"
instead of "whoas" and "giddaps.' is
being worked out. This is commend
able. The position of the time honored
milk wagon in modern city is anoma-
louS.
1t originated in an age when streets
were mostly soft and when houses were
not so close together Progress has
made the streets hard and therefore
noisy. and has placed many hundreds
of persons in near relation.
Thus the modern milkman must
deliver hundreds of quarts of Natures
fine product within limited area. This
necessitates much climbing and clanking
Of bottles, and often rafting of crates.
The good will of patrons, as we'll as
the pleasure of being in line with the
modern movement toward a reduction
of city noises, would seem to make nee
essary a thorough study of quiet de-
livery by diaries.
These quasi-public institutions, upon
which the health of the little ones de-
ponds, have difficult time for de-
livery. 1t requires intelligence and a
high degree of faithfulness for the
"milkman," always an ideal of child
hood, to keep track of his varying
orders.
If he makes bit of noise, he may
be forgiven; but it would seem to be
both good business and common sense
for diaries to make a complete study
of the noise reduction question, to ask
for suggestions from their patrons and
not to stop short of a possible theo-
retical perfection, as they aim to
achieve with their product, one of the
two or three original substances which
Nature intended to be used as food.
