Proposed New Cabinet Post
Creates State Rights Issue

a service as Mrs. Owen proposes Is to
be created. let 1t be left among the
bureaus. Women are eligible today Tor
any cabinet posts and for the presi-
dency. There is no need to create q
special cabinet position for woman to
fill"
Outside of the comparatively few
members of either house who believe in
Federal socialism, and who would over
ride every State right in favor of Fed
eral Jurisdiction" in the opinion of the
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, there Ii
not much sympathy at Washington with
proposals to extend Federal activities
farther into the community and the
home. It is realized that the authority
of the United States is not original, but
delegated, and that danger lies in abro-
eating State Jurisdiction. in personal
matters and substituting Federal juris-
diction therefor. Mrs. owens ultimate
purpose is praiseworthy. There Is no
American interest that calls for great
er care than the home and the child.
But there is room for suspicion that
well intentioned efforts have already
gone pretty far in the direction of
lessening the control of the home over
the child. 1t will be better for
child life If the future shall
favor it with a good deal more home
life than is currently in practice. The
United States is not group of States
created by central government 1t Is,
and to carry on must continue to be,
a republic of republics"
Mrs. owens proposal will meet with
stout opposition from the same sources
that have opposed creation of Depart
ment of Education and the original
and continued operation of the Shep-
pard-Towner maternity act" asserts
the Dallas Journal, while the st. Paul
Dispatch expresses opposition to a de-
partment which would undoubtedly
grow in authority, usurping gradually
the prerogatives now reposing in the
States and their political subdivisions
in the field of education and child well
fare" The Lynchburg Advance holds
that Mrs. Owen would standardize all
homes and all children, and make them
conform to one pattern, just as the
growing of wheat and the planting Of
cotton and the manufacture of many
commodities are being made standard
throughout the length and breadth of
the country" That paper contends that
her idea is false to every tradition
of America"

No Increase in Tax Rate.

After il became known that for the
fiscal year 1882 the Commissioners had
predicated their estimates for a $4s.-
600 900 budget on a local tax rate Of
$3.50 and a Federal contribution Of
$40 900 900 1t was carefully explained
al the District Building that cuts in
the budget total, suggested in the course
of hearings which begin today, might
make this proposed increase in taxa
ton unnecessary.
The Commissioners by no means
should commit themselves TO any In
crease in the tax rate in order to jus
tify their demands for Budget Bureau
approval of the 1882 estimates The
tax-paying citizens, through their vari-
Gus organizations. have gone on record
against an Increase In taxes. Any in

Invention to Prevent
Collisions Is Claimed

A new invention which will auto
matically avert collisions is the claim
of Andres Modret, Russian emigre
living in Belgrade, Jugoslavia. His
device operates by electric impulses
communicated to the rails by the
wheels of the locomotive. If trains
on the same track come within three
kilometers of each other a warming
light shows in the engineers cab on
both the trains. If the trains approach
to within one kilometer the locomo-
tives automatically are braked to a
stop. This, at least, is Modret's claim.
The invention is being investigated by
the Jugoslav government.

quarters it is insisted that 100000 is
the highest number she may expect.
That might or might not cause Mrs.
Mccormick to lose the Senate race to
Lewis. 1t has been common parlance
that Illinois has a normal Republican
majority Of 100000 plus. But in off
years this has not been true. For ex-
ample, the late Senator Medill McCor-
mick in 1918 beat Lewis by only $4,000
votes and in 1926 Frank L. Smith de-
feated. George Brennan. Democratic
boss, by $1,000 votes. In that year
there was third candidate. McGill,
running as a Republican independent,
lust as Mrs. O'Neill is today, who re-
ceived 10000 votes. Smith that year
was supported by the Anti-Saloon
League"

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Deliberation.
Give yourself time
To get into your prime
And hope for a courage that's stronger
You may make the play
That will win you the day.
If you'll wait just a little bit longer.
OF time it's a waste
To make effort in haste.
In life with its loving and hating
A reward you may find
That brings peace to your mind,
For only wee bit Of waiting.

The exterior OF this early Colon
ial residence is very distinctive and
unusual inasmuch as all of its side
walls. including both the field stone
around the first floor and the clap
boards above, are whitewashed.
This treatment throws the green
wood shingle roof and the blue
green shutters into prominence.
This type OF house Is very well
suited to those practical minds de-
manding a box type house wherein
full heighth ceilings occur on the
second floor and plenty Of closet
space is available.
The interior arrangement has
been lifted from the commonplace
by the unusual placing Of the din
ing-alcove, which Is conveniently
located and Is finished in dark reds
and browns, but not deep enough
in color to create a feeling OF de-
preston.
The liVing-room Hreplace, stair
rail, interior doors and trim, light
ing fixtures and wall paper should
be true reproductions OF early Co
lonial originals. The ceilings should
