School Children Differ
AS to immortality

To the Editor of The Star:
Washington school children are Diff
fering about what constitutes i'm
morality!
Is it any wonder that there are these
individual differences, since their ideas
and impressions of the world are the
sum total of their education and train
ing, their experience and local environ
ment? Graded and high school pupils
represent different rates and degrees Of
mental achievement. Therefore, they
must decide their moral and ethical
problems differently. Even in the same
families, no two children have the same
degree of education and training, or ex-
perience with life, and so no two can
be expected to hold the same views and
opinions about social matters. nor can
the same way. Then, too when parents,
relatives, friends are governed by ex-
actly the same social factors, and rep
resent practically the same differences
of opinion, how can children help hav-
ing such marked intellectual differences?
There never has been any marked
general agreement about social affairs
and problems among boys and girls Of
school age and, doubtless. there never
will be. How can we expect mere chill
dren and adolescents to have the same
ideas about such questions as planting
trees along United States highways,
identifying the city of Washington,
educating school children of Washing
ton, working out new system of traf-
fic control, or about many other local
and national problems? Clearly, we
cannot when their "grown-ups," for the
very same social reasons, differ about
the tariff, the next United States Sen
ator or governor, or perhaps about the
moon. WERNER M. HOLSTON.

The Traffic Study.

While a trafic commission, such as
suggested by Corporation Counsel Bride,
might go far in clearing up disputed
and overlapping sections Of the code
now in use in this city, 1t must delve
still deeper into underlying causes for
the pitiful congestion here II Wash
1ngton is to become known as a well
regulated community from a traffic
standpoint. Conflict Of authority be-
tween the Public Utilities Commission,
the Police Department and the director
Of traffic in regard to control Of taxi
cabs, street cars and buses is simply
one phase of the situation which must
be ironed out. The other phases, which
have given Washington none-too-en-
viable reputation as center Of conges-
ton despite its wide streets, are con-
cerned with the proper education OF
motorists themselves and certain regu-
lations now in effect which need either
revision or elimination. These are just
as important, if not more SO, as any
souabble over authority between re-
bfSOllSlDlG OILCldtS.
In the first place, Washington motor
lists do not make full use of the ex-
traordinary amount of street space In
the Capital. They appear to believe
that the only lane of trafdc that it is
proper TO drive upon is in the middle
Of the street. and the one or two lanes
near the curb are seldom used. One
reason for this Is undoubtedly that
despite accepted practices in New York,
Philadelphia, Chicago and other large
cities passing to the right is not per-
Hnitted in Washington. This rule could
well be eliminated.
Because of the fact that under the
present regulations he cannot be passed
on the right the motorist of Washing
ton almost invariably drives a zig-zae
course. Plenty of room must be allowed
when overtaking local car operator
He may swerve at the most unexpected
moment. Part Of this bad driving has
undoubtedly been promokd by the TO.

Pronunciation in
Spelling Match Hit

To the Editor of The Star:
It seems to one who loves to hear
English correctly spoken that If the
last IS minutes of the national spelling
contest recently held here are fair
sample, the whole proceeding ap-
preached the nature of farce. I tuned
in my radio to the contest in that
period to hear the master of cere-
monies pronouncing word to the meek
young victim: "A'cumenl" Pause. No
wonder. Who ever heard 1t that way?
Then timidly, els 1t sometimes pro-
nounced 'acu menu" "Ye-es-acu' men"
All. youth. we elders bow to your re-
straint and modeSty. Twenty years later,
when you too hold the whiphAnd by
reason of your years land no other)
you would say: "Of course you mean
'acu menu" The master again intones,
Con fii-gra -tionl" Again bewildered
youth, trustful, conf1ding. "Con-fli-gra-
tion?" "Hem-means a fire." Is the
answer-while honest men sit by and
let this pass. To cap the climax, the
last word rings out: "Albumen!"
Shades of Websterl But no, this must
have been guessing contest. as most
of ones high school and college courses
are, anyway. Guess what mean and

class"-or win the spelling contest.

The War Memorial.

More than eleven years after the end
of the World War in which $4,000 Of
her sons fought and 258 gave their
lives, washington, the Capital Of our
Nation, stands in one unhappy respect
unique among cities of approximately
similar stature in the country as far
as is known. Washington alone has so
far failed, in one adequate form or
another, to memorable those who fought
and died as her representatives in the
last war.
The circumstances which account for
this fact are, happily, such as to re-
lieve Westinghouse as q whole Of
any Just charge Of ingratitude toward
her war heroes. In 1925 general pub
lie insistence for an adequate memorial
resulted in the appointment by Con-
gress Of q commission of Washing
tonians to evolve ways and means
whereby q proper memorial might be
erected. Plans for beautiful structure
were drafted and approved by the
proper authorities, and financial CAM
paign was launched which, terminating
In 1927, showed subscriptions to the
memorial project Of upward Of $4,000.
with the minimum cost Of the Sc
lected memorial set ct $1S5,o00, the
campaign was terminated upon the as
surance Of the local Central Labor
Union that organized labor in the Ma
tional Capital would be proud to per-
form the patriotic task Of raising, amid
Its ranks, the necessary balance.
Since the giving Of that assurance
there has been no slightest disposition
on the part of those who made 1t TO
fail to make good their pledge. Yet
labor conditions have obtained which,
In the opinion Of those upon whom
the task Of raising the necessary funds
devolved, rendered 1t impracticable
from year to year to undertake the
campaign. And as Q result, with none
to blame, washington still lacks the
memorial which every instinct Of
patriotism and gratitude and pride
demands shall be erected.
Happily as Decoration day again Is
upon us the period Of waiting seems
sure shortly to be terminated. Inspired
by @ new and strong appeal from
President Green Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, the Central Labor
Union Is launching forth into the final
effort, which cannot but result In full
success. That there are many WASH
ingtonians outside Of the ranks of or
ganized labor who, having failed for
one reason or another previously to sub
scribe, will now wish to participate in
the privilege and duty Of completing
the fund, is to be confidently antici-
pated. And If this be true it will not
be many months before the city, with
pride and gratitude, may stand before
a shrine to the memory Of those whose
service to the Nation we can never
forget.

Five-Cent Fare Zones
AS Traction Trouble Cure
To the Editor Of The star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The Capital Traction Co. Is In q
hole. Its earnings are not sufacient 10
pay 6 per cent dividends on its stock,
and they are rapidly becoming less, due
probably to the 35-cent taxicabs It has
asked for permission to increase its
fares to 10 cents cash or four tokens
for 80 cents. It is very doubtful that
such higher fares would increase its
revenues enough to pay g. 7 or per
cent dividend. If 1t cannot be made to
pay, it must go out of business. Can
you imagine washington without q
street car system? And yet that Is q
certainty unless 1t earns enough to pay
dividends. Obviously the trouble now
is that the fare Is so high that enough
of our people will not patronize it, They
often prefer to walk certain distances
rather than pay ga cents or 8 cents
fare, but would ride such distances on
scent fare. There is magic in a s.
cent fare. A great majority of our
people have small incomes. The street
car service should be adapted to their
needs. Therein lies the only hope for
the street railways. Otherwise they
are doomed.
A scent fare from the wharyes or
Eastern Branch to Georgetown or Rock
Creek Bridge or, say, Park road, and
another scent fare to the District line,
would probably solve the problem, by
inducing a hundred thousand to be-
come riders who now seldom or never
ride, another hundred thousand to ride
half mile to q mile where they now
always walk, and providing an increased
fare only for very long distance riders
who ought to be willing to pay 1t.
Such "zoning system" Is not sub
ject to the objections heretofore urged
against coming and would be very &C
ceptable to the very great majority
and to the stockholders who want
dividends.
Capital Traction could double its
revenue in this way, If it would supply
enough cars to seat all its passengers.

British Peer Has Right
Idea About Americans

From the Houston Chronicle.
It is indeed refreshing to listen to
a foreigner who understands us. The
Marquis of Lothian is a Briton and,
presumably, is liable to interpret
America TO Americans more accurately
than those lecturers from the Con-
tinent who have to acquire a back
their preconceived ideas Of life on
this side of the Atlantic.
The Marquis Of Lothian, formerly
Philip Kerr, for years David Lloyd
Georges secretary. spoke recently In
London in an address radioed to all
parts of the English speaking world.
An outstanding friend Of the United
States, a frequent visitor to this coun-
try, he combated the view hitherto
current in England that America is
land of money-grabbers. Shylocks
who demand their pound OF flesh in
all European debt settlements, shirkers
who refused to cooperate with the
League OF Nations in stabilizing civ
ilization after the World War.
This distorted vision OF America is
false, and the marquis insists that this
Nation deserves due credit for the &C
embellishments the United States has
to its credit. And he emphasized the
fact that this country has always been
reluctant to enter into the discussions
and dissensions of Europe for the very
good reason that our forefathers had
settled in a savage wilderness to escape
the brawls of Old World monarchies.
And that American public opinion
would in time be convinced that the
Europe of today was new Europe Of
democratic instincts.
1.-The epic of America is the epic of
the plain man and woman. Thus the
marquis sees a Nation which has given
to the world the gift of representative
government in its most effective form
This British statesman sees the United
States q Nation of boundless energy, a
place where the humblest can rise to
the highest position without facing the
inevitable barriers of caste which de-
press the average European. There can
be no doubt that he reflects the opinion
of a large and increasing body of
English public opinion which feels that
the business methods and the social
habits Of their transatlantic cousins
might well bear investigation IN view
of the fact that America today has
risen to supreme rank among the ma
tons Of the world.
