out clear and clean and complete to

out clear and clean and complete to
the eye.
To those in the street who watch, the
construction of a great building is In
deed fascinating enigma. The struc-
ture is, in fact, created on paper. Every
detail of 1t is worked out in plan and
specification before a stroke of work is
done at the site. Every stone is provided
for and measured, every iron or steel
beam Is fashioned even before the ore
is dug from the earth. The complex proc
esses of assemblage and handling and
placement are all schemed out to the
last rope and cable, signal line and
boom, ladder and scaffold.
What appear to the non-technical OBJ
servers as accidental gaps and lapses, de-
lays and misf1ts in the fabrication of
the building are, in fact, part of the
carefully planned system of assemblage
Space must be left for hoisting appara-
tus until the last stage, and then sup
Elementary or substitute lifts" are en-
ployed. Arrangements must be made
for the stone carvers to reach places
difficult of access. Every one of these
details is planned.
Then when the outer fabric of the
building is finished comes the lowering
OF the last of the hoisting and handling
apparatus. Towering structures for the
elevation of concrete are dismantled and
disposed of piece by piece. Heavy steel
beams and boomS are gently and safely
sent to the ground, and in lew hours
the skyline of the building is cleared
Meanwhile the work inside is proceed
ing, has been going on, in tact, from
the earliest days, as soon a space was
available, floor-laying, Williamsburg,
piping, plumbing, heating wiring, deco
ration-a great coordination of dozens
of activities in perfect harmony. Truly
larse-scale construction by modern
methods is marvel of efficiency.

William Bruce King.

Though william Bruce King was not
native Of Washington, he had lived
in this city so long, from his early
childhood in fact, that he was to
Washingtonians veritable son of the
Capital. He came here with his par
ents from Minneapolis at the age Of
five, and he was from then until his
shockingly sudden death on Monday
identified with the life and the welfare
and the development Of this community.
A diligent student with exceptional ca
pacity for learning, he gained his de-
gree in law before he was old enough
to be admitted to practice. In all that
he did throughout life, this trait OF
thoroughness and efficiency prevailed.
In addition to his legal attainments
he had to an unusual degree a, capacity
for literary and musical expression and
enjoyment. He was a large contributor
to the cultural life of the Capital and
member of some of its most i'm
portant organizations making for ad-
vancement along every line of progress.
Best of all, he had to a rare degree
the capacity for friendship, and now
he is deeply mourned, for he has passed
so suddenly as to shock the multitude
of those who knew him and admired
and respected him.

Congress and the United States Su-

Inside will be reading rooms, an ex-
hibition gallery and reproduction of
an Elizabethan theater. The interior is
to be of Tudor Gothic style.
1t is difficult to imagine a finer
tribute to the things for which Wash
ington is coming to stand than the
Folger Shakespeare Memorial Ours is
more than the merely political Capital
of the country. Boston's claims to the
contrary Notwithstanding Washington
is steadily becoming the Hub of the
American intellectual universe. It's
colleges and universities, its libraries
and scientific establishments, its re-
search foundations. its galleries of art,
its ever-throbbing laboratory in the do
main of democratic institutions-the
Government itself-these are the fac
tors no doubt which led Henry Clay
Folger to pitch his Shakespeare Me-
mortal in our midst.
Washington is immeasurably richer
for his perspicacity and generosity, and
posterity will echo its gratitude.

Historic Song Rides
Over All Opposition
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
AS national songs go, 1.-THE Star
Spangled Banner" leaves a good deal
to be desired. POLITICALLY it is seriously
misshapen. Musically it climbs to un-
gainly heights that mems voices seldom
reach. They claw wildly for breath and
altitude, but the tune goes on regard
less. 1t rides over them and goes be-
yond, like Nature in her Crueler, more
Indifferent moods. and the voices that
set forth so hopefully come limping in
after verse or so three leagues behind.
With words poor and with music
worse the old "Star Spangled Banner"
still maintains its elevation and pres
tige against the cannonades of singers,
of musicians, of peace people and of
others who want another tune. To
sing it is an ambition that few Ameri-
cans attain, but the song goes on, in
Strumentally, if not vOcally, down the
course of the years. Made-to-order
songs appear, claiming the right to be
called national, but disappear again, as
made songs always do, while THE Star
Spangled Banner" is still there. With
voices cracked and ruined trying to
negotiate "the rockets red glare" and
the next passage, "tum tum tum tum
tum air. Americans stlll stand by and
to the old song.
1t was written during the British de-
feat at Fort McHenry, and commence
rates at least one of the high points
of our national life. No other one has
been so commemorated in a song and
THE Star Spangled Banner" lives deep
| ly in our tradition. 1t has imaginative
hold upon us that is hard to break.

The Veterans Bill.

President Hoover's denunciation of
the pending veterans bill seems in a
fair way to have effect on Congress,
despite the houting of the Presidents
recommendations by the Senate. His
willingness to stick to his guns and
let the country decide, coupled with
the very excellent reasons he gave for
opposing the proposed legislation, has
given congressional leaders something
to think about. The assertions of the
basis which sets up an untruthful
and impossible presumption and that
it gives relief to 100000 veterans on
such a basis and denies aid to 200 900
more equally entitled to aid are impos-
sible of denial. The supporters of the
legislation may disagree with the aSecre-
tary Of the Treasury that the pending bill
will bring about a deficit and force the
country to additional taxes, although
the country may prefer to take Mr..
Melons word, but they cannot avoid
nor can they answer other criticisms
made by the President.
1t is a hopeful sign that the House
Republican leaders and many of the
members of the party in the House are
ready to go to the bat and substitute a
measure more in accordance with justice
to the veterans and to the whole people
of the United States. The suggestion
has been made that the House will agree
to the Senate amendments to the pend
ing bill, send the measure to the White
House, where the President will veto it
and return it to the Congress. Enough
Republicans in the House have signifed
their intention, IL is said, to sustain the
Presidents veto. If they do, the pending
bill will be dead as a door nail. The
plan also contemplates the introduction
of a new bill, which the House may pass
without delay ano send to the Senate.
If this proceeding is followed the
Senate will have to accept the new bill
or block all veterans legislation. This
may not set well with those Senators
who prefer to override veto of the
President. But if the House Repub-
licans stick to their present intention
there will be nothing else for the Sem
ate to do.
Again and again the President has
made it clear that he believes there
are deserving cases among the veterans
which need legislative attention. The
President, however, is opposed to the
pending bill because it is fundamentally
unsound, because it would establish a
system that in the long run would
prove a great detriment to the country
as a whole. The President is to be
congratulated upon having expressed
himself forcibly in this matter. This
veterans BILL" he said, sis just bad
legislation and he gave his reasons
for holding it bad. They are reasons
which the supporters of the measure
will not be able to controvert.
The Congress should act promptly on
legislation necessary to give relief to
the veterans, framed in accordance with
sound principles. Any effort now to
becloud the issue merely for the sake
of putting the President in a hole"
will be of no benefit to the veterans
and of little benefit to any members
of the Senate or House who subscribe
to it,

Grass at this time OF the year shows
the stuff it is made of.
Many a family now becomes grass
conscious as huge brown spots develop
in the lawn.
Lack of rain, yes; but. more than
that, grass structure. faulty or good,
behind all.
Grass is a great deal like human
being-what it is begins to show up in
time of emergency.
There are hundreds of men and
women who are pleasant enough when
everything goes smoothly, but just let
them be crossed in anything, their good
nature blows up.
Similarly many seemingly capable
men go to pieces when critical mo-
ment arrives.
The grass which carpets the world is
a great deal like human beings.
If a lawn has been made from first
class seed, which, growing into grass,
has developed into good lawn, it will
show its breeding and care during times
of drought.
It will stand the gaff, in other words.
If, on the other hand, the seed has
been of poor quality and the lawn has
not received the proper care afterward,
hot weather will blight it in few days.
Home lawns are. after all, artificial
things, requiring constant care for their
continued good appearance.
A home owner has but to be away
for a month, during which time the
grass receives no care, to discover what
will happen ven to good lawn during
that time.
He discovers that a carefully culti-
waited lawn is by no means in the class
of a meadow.
When he permitted the grass to grow
long during the growing season he put
an almost irremediable strain upon it..
Great areas of it killed out COM
pletely, and the remainder was in very
poor shape.
OF course. the season vas exception
ally dry, but he was amazed neverthe-
less, to find that his lawns were in such
poor condition.
An intensive course of watering, fol-
low by an application of sheep ma
nure, helped to right matters to some
extent, but the grass was far, far be-
low the usual standard.
Neglect had done it.
x* X
Neglect of grass, like neglect of a
child, will result in ugly traits.
Unquestionably one of the chief things
to be kept in mind in growing and
keeping a good lawn is regularity of
treatment.
It ihust be remembered that home
lawn is highly artificial piece of gar
dening, or landscaping, or whatever
one chooses to call it.
If it has become accustomed to being
moved once a week, it expects to be
moved once a week; that is all there is
to it.
If lawn has been cut every two
weeks, then cutting at two-week inter
walls will be enough.
Whatever the custom has been, that
is what the grass expects.
If the hose has come to the rescue in
dry spells, it must continue to be used,
or the grass will suffer severely.

AS for fertilizer, our experience has
been that there is nothing better than
mixture of sheep manure and bone
meal. We say this with no diSrespect
of newer commercial fertilizers. Usu-
ally their cost is high enough to pre-
vent the average person from using
them in sufficient quantity, whereas

No Radical Tendency
Among Colored People
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Despite dissatisfaction with condi-
tions in certain areas of the country,
and with restricted opportunities, which
the present general unemployment stu
alton has shown to affect MANY other
peoples among us, there Is no tendency
toward radicalism among colored peo-
pie.
Coming into intimate contact with
many social levels in my work as edu-
Gator and journalist, 1 am in position
to hear the comment freely made upon
our situation and aspirations here in
America. 1t does not involve disloyalty
Colored youth, as we'll as the mature
people, believe that there are many
things that we must do ourselves, as
we'll as have done for us, to alter our
unprivileged status.
Employment and promotion on merit.
tair and equal schooling, just police
protection, removal of segregation and
discrimination on a basis of color. the
fair and equal operation of the guar
anteeS of the Constitution and political
privilege and right without prejudice as
to standing for or holding office, con-
stitute the demands of those who are
dlSgruntled, but who feel that they are
prevented emily by the mendacity of a
minority group.
AS a teacher of civicS and American
history for many years have yet to
hear any criticism Of the principles of
this Government. Every intelligent
pupil realizes that the ideals of the
Nation must be slowly worked out by
the people exactly as their home life
and community relations are due to
compromises among conflicting wills
and actions.
Only last week did 40 undergraduates
pX0fPSS thnn9SolVpC in Nx-rifi
for high school civics in which they
supported, without dissent, democracy
as the best form of government" dis
counting the disadvantages which they
noted in passing.
Attempts to arouse interest through
1nterracial dances recently held here
were fruitless because our youngsters
treated the occasions merely as AN
other place to dance" and so outnum-
bered the sponsors of the affair that
they were lost in the crowd
An improved economic status occu-
pies the attention of the more intelli-
gent leaders of church, fraternal and
educational institutions, while the
steady progress shown through the
decades since 1900 has inspired a Seri-
Gus ambition in young men and women
OF color in all sections of the country.
Nothing operates so strongly to pre-
vent the spread of Communism as the
bellef that the open door of hope and
opportunity continues to exist under
american institutions and that the Sla-
lor1ty of dominant America means to
keep it open.
Colored America asks only fair and
equal opportunity, and believes that it
can be secured through the impartial
applications of the rules of the Ameri-
can game, with just courts as umpire,
good schools as training camp employ
ment as the chance to play ball and an
unbiased press keeping score in plain
sight. CHARLES M, THOMAS
