THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

TITS the trees" went on the first.
Everywhere you 60 there are trees"
He waved out the window.
Just look at those"
"Maples?" inquired the other.
Oaks" said the first. Trees all
over town. any place you 60. distinguish
Beautiful" dutifully remarked the
| other.
It must have been Mildred day" at
the Zoo, for almost every other girl and
woman seemed to bear that name, If our
ears we're up to their usual standard.
"Oh. Mildred, look at this!" and Hey.
Mildred, here's funny one!" rang on
the air from all sides.
We suppose there were women there
with other names, but surely Mildred
held the first place on the air.
We would not go so far as to say
that most Mildreds are fat. That would
not Do the truth, aS1d We aim to tell
the truth.
But surely Mildred is a comfortable
sounding name, one calling for a GER
tain pleasant disposition and appear
ance, In which no Mildred at the Zoo
Sunday seemed to be lacking.
There was even one child, about
years old, who spent her time swing
ing from a bough Of pine tree-her
name was Mildred, too.
We went over to the lion house to
| find out whether some sightseer might
not be tempted to compare the big
Bengal tiger with Douglas Fairbanks.
But nothing like that happened. The
| visitors were too much interested in the
baby lions. The cats always are a
| favorite, and no wonder, for they are
among the most beautiful and interest
ing animals, especially so on account
OF their relationship to the household
pets.
The cheetah looks rather more like
dog than a cat His build is canine,
and he holds his head and walks in a
doglike manner.
Two elderly gentlemen, who looked as
II they might work In the brick bust
ness during the week, paused in re-
spectful admiration.
That fellow Is the fierceSt of the
animals" said one, indicating the
cheetah
We don't. know whether this is good
zoology or not, but certainly the cheetah
would be tough customer to meet in
a big field.
Two playsome jaguars Kissed at each
oU!leA III True IeSlne SCyle. one would
take slap at the others tail, where
upon the offended fellow would hiss and
| throw himself upon the other.
Their play was exactly that of two
house cats, but accompanied with more
snarling and kissing. Despite their
| Snarling jaws, however, they seemed in
no particular danger of getting down to
real fighting.
The lion cubs were engaged in their
favorite occupation of learning how to
roar in jungle fashion. There is some
thing comical about such large sounds
from such small creatures.
The cheetah seemed to be looking
through the crowds to some unknown
place far, far away-its native haunts
long lost-but was it only the keeper
| coming with its dinner?

An Other States and Canada.
The Market Investigation

Representative SABBATH Of Illinois has
proposed an inquiry by a special COM
mittee Of the House into stock mar
ket crashes" which have appeared with
considerable regularity during the last
eight months. The most recent crash
occurred the day that President Hoo
ver's determination to sign the tariff
bill was made known to the public.
In more than one mind the suspicion
has arisen that the announcement the
tariff bill was to be signed was used
rs blind" by INSCRIPTIONS operators
In the market who had planned to
force prices down for their own benefit.
Congressional investigations have been
made Of myriad Of subjects and for
all kinds of reasons. But this is one
congressional investigation that could
well be undertaken Furthermore, there
Is sound reason for such an investiga-
tion-a desire for full information by
Congress to aid in writing legislation
which might improve the situation. The
stock market is said to be reflective OF
business conditions in the country. But
It is also reflective Of the gambling pro-
pensities of large traders. Sometimes
the two are confused.
Senator Carter Glass of Virginia
former Secretary of the Treasury, and
chairman of the House committee on
banking and currency when the Federal
Reserve act was written into law, with
In a few days has introduced in the
Senate q bill which would amend, in
many important particulars, the bank
ing laws and also would curtal the
loans which may be made by member
banks Of the Federal Reserve system
to brokers for speculative accounts. His
bill would undertake to prevent mem
Der banks from borrowing on their di-
rect notes at Reserve Banks or lending
funds to brokers for speculative pur-
poses. In offering his bill Senator
Glass indicated, however, that he
thought 1t might be necessary to make
still more drastic restrictions on brokers'
loans. For many years the Virginia
Senator has denounced the use Of
Federal Reserve funds to carry On spec
ulative operations on the stock market.
His new bill may, If enacted into law.
help the situation. But it looks as
though the American public might need
still further protection in this matter.
A thorough ventilation Of the periodic
Sbreaks" In the stock market doubtless
would be Of great value. No one
wishes to interfere with legitimate trad
ing or would argue that the country
should be deprived of the stock market
as . means Of transacting a great vol
ume Of business But there Is Q wide
difference between legitimate trading
and gambling. The short seller Of
stock, which he does not possess,
and his efforts to beat down the prices
OF stock for his own profit or the profit
of ring" come under the head Of
gambling. This kind of gambling has
been given responsibility of a sort
spurious, indeed, but nevertheless rec
ognized because of the fact that 1t has
been transacted on the Stock Exchange
and frequently by men of great means.
It is no less reprehensible on that ac-
count. A rugged" market. used for
such gambling purposes. differs only
from q crooked poker game in the ex-
tent Of its transactions.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Motion

Motion.
There are great planets out In space
Which I shall never see.
They set swift and startling pace
But what is that to me?
When to my desk I have to go
Upon q journey far,
I am contented just to know
That 1 can catch car.
The relativities that rule
The ways of space and time
Contrive to send me back to school
Where Science seems sublime.
And yet do not care at all
For any distant star
Whose name never quite recall,
If have missed my car.

Back on the Seas.
rom the Wheeling Intelligencer.

From the Wheeling Intelligencer.
At the present time the ocean-going
American merchant feet employed IN
established lines In foreign and nom
contiguous trades consists of 67l YES
sells Of 1886 900 gross tons. This shows
500 per cent increase in numbers and
nearly $50 per cent in tonnage since
1914. With few exceptions these yes
sells are of 2. 900 gross tons and over
and 60 per cent of the number and %
per cent of the gross tonnage are now
under private ownership.
It is certain that without the strong
support of the Government the mer-
chant marine would have reverted to
the humiliating and costly position 1t
occupied before the war. The Ameri-
can people have benefited by the mis-
takes of the past. They are convinced
that the economic progress, trade sta
bility and security can be largely as
sured by the maintenance Of an ade-
quate American merchant marine.

To the Editor of The Star:
If vivisection is really necessary for
medical science, motion pictures should
be made Of each case and copies of the

torture. The friends of animals are
growing in numbers and influence, with
no thanks to religion or politics. Re-
