The Nuisance of the Skies.

Those who are concerned about the
harmful effect of noise upon human
nerves were yesterday distressed by an
addition to the needless clamor that
assails the ears in washington. An air
| plane bearing Sound-reproducing de-
vice of great power scared over the
city for several hours and sprayed a
roaring, blaring din upon the helpless
populace. 1t was a startling perform
ance, sometimes bringing the sounds OF
song and speech so near as to seem
to be emanating from the very roofs.
This is wanton intrusion upon the
privacy of the homes and upon the
serenity of business proceedings. 1t is,
incidentally, of very doubtful value as
means of advertising, for the re-
production of the voice is so muf11ed
in the magniflcation of the sound that
those who actually listen-by volition-
are at a loss to know what 1t is all
about. But whether effective or other
wise in the proclamation of wares, the
use of the loud speaker carried by plane
for such a purpose is trespass that
should be prohibited by law.
1t is bad enough to have radio pro-
grams beloved forth upon the streets
from shops and homes to the distress
of those who pass or who work or i've
nearby 1t is intolerable to have to SUI
fer such performances from the air. The
surface radio can be located and, under
the newly adopted regulations in the
District. can be quieted as nuisance
upon complaint. The aerial radio adj
vertising broadcaster is elusive and diff
ficult of reach with restraining order.
The development of outdoor advertis-
ing devices, especially the great bill
boards that line the highways and even
intrude upon the byways, has disngured
this country. Against his will the user
of the roads is forced to observe these
proelamations. The choicest scenes of
nature are defaced. The perspective is
narrowed to Histas of beans, soaps, oils,
hotels, fabrics, things good and desirable
in themselves but out of place in de-
scription in the rural terrain.
Just so the voice from the skies"
that bellows something or other about
this or that In the line of trade is an
intrusion, compelling attention, ines
capable and impudent. There is no
lack Of mediums of effective commune
cation between manufacturer and pub
lie, or merchant and purchaser -medi-
urns that may be noted or ignored as
the individual elects. It is not neces-
sary, in order to establish contact In
trade, to destroy the beauty of the
country or to shatter the ears of the
people.

Putting Chang in a Corner

If report just received from
Shanghai is correct. Chang Hsueh-
lang, marshal Of Mancluria, who has
been playing rather wobbly role for
some months past in his relations with
the Marking Nationalist government
and the Northern revolutionary party,
must now specifically define his posi-
ton or be faced with a most embar-
RAISING situation. At the outset of the
contest between the South and the
North of China, Chang Hsueh-liang
was strictly neutral. Ills purpose. OBJ
viously, was to maint...a Manchuria in
position of an independent state, not
subject to orders from Marking or to
pressure from Peking. Then a little
later he offered his mediatory Offices,
which were rejected by Marking, the
Nationalist government taking the po-
sition that Manchuria was still part
of China and therefore subject to Ma
tionalist control.
Eventually the Manchurian marshal
turned his favor toward the Northern
ers. It is said that he supplied them
with munitions Some of his advisers
were assigned to duty as members OF
the newly formed cabinet or ministry
of the Northern coalition government
at Peking. Then came. the serious re-
verse Of Northern fortunes at Tsinan,

Barring Alien Job Seekers.

President Hoover has moved TO check
the immigration Of alien laborers to
the United States during the period
Of abnormal unemployment This is to
be effected by instruction of American
consuls throughout the world to with
hold visas from prospective immigrants
who fail to convince them that they
would probably not become prospective
public charges in this country even
during considerable period subsequent
to arrival" Action to this effect has
been urged by labor organizations for
some time. Last Winter the admin
istration undertook 10 obtain an amend
ment TO the immigration law cutting
the quotas in half as an expedient Of
relief from even the restricted inflow
This failed through the ulyillingness
Of Congress to act and now the adj
uainistratien Is compelled to resort tc
its control over visas as defensive
: measure of limitation.
The courts have consistently held
that any immigrant possessing a con-
sular visa and enough cash for imme-
date necessities may not be barred
from entrance by reason of the public

posed destination. Th9 s. howeve,.
no way to compel the x to is<S
visas. Their present instrN-.Ins are tc
refuse them unless the applicants can
prove that they are assured of employ
nnent in this country. Such proof is
next to impossible in the present condi-
ton of labor surplus.
Thus this measure would seem to
be an effective one for the checking
OF the inflow of work-seekers from
abroad. Other countries have done the
same during the present and for some
time prevailing period of economic
stringency. The United States cannot
offer opportunities for work in any but
highly specialized lines, if in those. II
is cruelty to allow work-seekera 70
come here from abroad when they Il
not be given work, and an injustice to
American workingmen to admit them
while there are many more men than
jobs in the United States.

Racing Trucks Make
Washington a Horror
To the Editor of The Star:


Reading in The Star about the rubber
shoes now presumably being used by
some milk dealer for the horses, 1 infer
that few whose business is to look after
the safety and comfort of the populace
have any idea of what has been going
on for a long time and is still con-
tinuing in our section of the city by
way of noise. Noise! Why, that Is
nothing; we are used to all kinds of
noises and will not mention that. But
surely the people in authority must be
ignorant of the daily and hourly earth
quakes being produced by the actual
racing of superheavy trucks right at our
block No, we must not complain of
the floods and hurricanes and the ex-
IRENE heat and the other eXtremities
beyond apparently human control, for
our petitions will not be heard by the
"higher-ups" until we here among our
selves determine, first, to consider the
feelings of our fellow men and women.
who, unlike this writer, have seemed to
resign themselves to the unnatural con-
dition of things and are waiting for
something to happen by way of relief.
Our house are shaken from founda-
ton to ceiling many times a day, not
because the trucks are too heavy, nor
yet because have solid tires, but
rather because any one and every one
can actually race, , is racing, and
it is this velocity, this abnormal use of
mechanical, power and the subnormal
use of regu'-tivc authority incident with
popular government and people too busy
to even write and tell you about it. that
is the cause of these deplorable condi-
tons, prostrating women and creating
a generation of nerve wrecks" to add
another problem to be probed in its
turn. @. PHILIPS.

In defense of the proposed enact
ments, the Worcester Evening Gazette
maintains that their support Is "en-
couraging." That paper says: "New
York's Baumes laws have been Wig
orously condemned by enlightened
students of modern penology. Making
a life sentence mandatory for fourth
offenders, they set up two assumptions
as basis for dealing with criminals.
One assumption is that four convictions
for felony constitute sufficient evidence
that the person convicted is con-
flrmed' criminal. The other Is that
judges lack either the intelligence or
the probity to Ak Just sentence for
fourth offenders. Both assumptions are
false. There are many first offenders
who are a menace to society and ought
not to be at large. And the applica-
ton of the Baumes laws has shown
plenty of fourth offenders who had no
anti-social tendencies and were being
locked up for life because of crimes that
deserved to rank as misdemeanors.

Not as many straw hats are being
thrown away this September. Fewer
were worn this Summer, according to
Commerce Department figures, and
fewer were worn out. The cnllege-boy
custom of going hatless, expanded to
include non-collegians of all ages, re-
stricted the sale of straws by offsetting
the normal increase in male popula-
ton, while the panama, which was IN
vogue, has longer life than the still
straw, which is tossed into the dis
card after one season. The debris is
apt to contain only those panamas-
actually made in Ecuador, Colombia or
Peru-which have been worn five or
six years. During the building OF the

Back From the Inferno.

The steamer Coamo, which was caught
in the hurricane that devastated Santo
Domingo and made her way back to
Porto Rico, reached New York yester-
day showing signs of her experience
with the fury of the sea. Five of the
passengers on board were members Of
the ships company during that struggle.
Theirs has been an experience that few
have ever shared, for rarely indeed
has a vessel been entrapped in the
center of such a terrific storm and
escaped. The Coamo actually steamed
through the very center of the hurri-
cane. The wind ragged at a rate esti-
mated at one hundred and sixty miles
an hour. Then it dropped to almost a
dead calm and this lull lasted for forty
minutes. At first the wind bore upon
the Coamo's starboard beam, then after
the forty-minute lull 1t hit her on the
port beam. Thus her company had a
direct demonstration of the cylonic
character of these storms, which are in
fact, formed by winds pouring in upon
a focal point at tangents, setting up a
gigantic eddy with a hollow" core.
The ships commander had one domi-
nant thought, to keep her off the coast,
against which she would have been
crushed a hopeless wreck. That he
managed to do so was triumph of
navigation and Of good shipbuilding
The entire experience lasted some five
hours. In all that tribulation, though
the vessel was canted by the hurricane
to from twenty to forty-five degrees
and was pounded furiously in the giant
seas, not single person was injured.
Truly a miracle!

A Sermon About
Dogs and Their Care
To the Editor OF The Star:

10 the EDITOR OF Inc star.
There happened in this beautiful city
of ours in one Of our splendid old
churches an incident-call it that II
you will--that made my heart rejoice,
as indeed 1t must have many animal
lovers.
A dog stood in this holy sanctuary
beside hi master while the sermon was
given-and such a sermon / would
we could hav more of them. The
church was filed with people, and they
werU not ashamed-neither were they
afraid-for God spoke to them through
the unfathomable eyes and the quiet
dignity of a dog. Think OF 1T, ana
then say we are not getting animal
minded or arlinal-consciouS II you can.
Not only was the sermon of spiritual
nature, but facts were given as to the
care and feeding of a dog, barring
candy and sweets, and, above all, the
deadly chicken bone. Where in all the
writings and talking about animal do
you find such advice, and what good Is
all our love for anything If We are not
properly informed how to care for it?
Then, too, the speaker stressed the point
that these particu dogs, often called
police dogs but really are German
shepherd dogs, a trained for service:
What does that term imply? Trained
to watch, to protect with their IT,, If
need be, those whom they love.
Now, If you have such dog in your
family, do not indulge in idle rough
play with each other to see what the
dog win do, because he will resent it
very much and then will have to be
punished when you are really the cul-
prit. If you want a play dog, get a
collie or a terrier. A shepherd dog Is
by centuries of training q NOZZLE and
dignifled creature
