Claims Unfairness
By Street Car Agents

To the Editor of The Star:
I wonder if the influence of your
paper cannot be exercised to abate I'M
fair practice when has grown up in
the use of tokens on street cars.
large number of the tokens issued
by Washington companies are
in circulation between the local compa-
MES and their patrons.
The companies permit their issue
with the tokens issued by the local
company; but when they are deposited
in the fare box, the agent Of the COM
pany insists on another token being de-
POSTED on the ground that the out-of-
town token is not acceptable. The
out-of-toWn token is not returned, but
is cashed or reissued by the agent Of
the company, and thus by repeated use
obtains a profit either to the agent or
the company, for which no service is
given.
Few persons have not experienced this
within the last few years, and there is
a growing dissatisfaction at what is a
positively dishonest practice. I have
ceased to attempt buying more than
the minimum sold, because of the ne
cessity of holding up traffic in order to
examine and count tokens, as some
agents are quick to short-change, and
if their attention is not called to the
error at once there Is small chance of
satisfaction the out-of-town tokens
are general Of equal or more value,
the compsn, lands no loss by accept
ing them. w. e. ALLEN.

Municipal Center Financing.

AS Representative Simmons has eX-
planned to the House, the appropriations
for the Municipal Center in the next
i've or six years will probably be be-
tween two and two and a half millions
annually. AS one "offset" to this large
drain in District revenues, the Federal
Government is expected to reimburse
the District for the present Municipal
Building. The fair sales value of the
Municipal Building is estimated at a
figure between four and six million dol
lars. But is it not time-now that the
District has really started on this $22,-
600 600 protector some definite as
surances regarding the cash that the
District can count on from the Munich
pal Building transfer?
It is revealed in the hearings on this
years District bill that the sale" of
the Municipal Building to the United
States will be a matter of negotiation
between the Municipal Government and
the Treasury Department. Heretofore the
Commissioners considered the deal as
necessitating special legislation, and
they have been waiting for the legis-
lation. Mr.. Simmons introduced a bill
two years ago to indemnify the Dis
trict for loss of the present admins
tration building. 1t has since de-
veloped, however, that the transfer Of
building and cash or credit between
the District and the Treasury viii pro-
coed as any other transfer Of any
other real estate in the triangle area.
This being the case, the Commission
ers should lose no time in instituting
the negotiations, with the purpose in
mind of determining once and for all
the exact terms of the trade. The
terms. Of course, should be most gen.
erous and attractive to the District.
The District is being forced out Of its
home by the demands for more room
from Uncle Sam; it is being forced into
a huge and costly building development
by the demands for appropriate and
beautiful structures from Uncle Sam.
There should be ample consideration
given to these facts, which demand
compensation over and above the mere
assessed value Of the present Municipal
Building. If the Treasury's terms are
not as attractive as the Commissioners
consider they should be, there should be
an appeal to Congress.
The people of this community have
been committed to an enormously ex-
pensive undertaking, many times as
costly as it would be If built on a mere
unitarian scale. They will buy this
Municipal Center at the sacrifice of
other local improvements for which
there is a mere tangible need. The
Commissioners will do well to de-
termine, as quickly as possible, what
part of the burden of Municipal Center
building is to be borne by the Federal
Government, for which, primarily, the
Municipal Center is being built.

The Terrible Turk.

Mustapha Renal Pasha, President OF
the Turkish Republic abolished the
fez and introduced other manifestations
of modernity into what was formerly
the Ottoman Empire, but hangman's
news from there this week indicates
that some of the barbaric customs Of
old still survive. In the cold gray dawn
Of last Tuesday twenty-seyen residents
of the old Turkish. town of Menemen
were executed on the gallows and their
lneleSs bodies left dangling from the
gibbets all day as a warning TO other
traitors to the republic"
On the breast OF each Of the hanged
men after execution there was placed
a placard on which the words, in Latin
characters, "Thus end traitors to Tur-
key" were inscribed The victims Of
the wholesale execution went TO their
doom In expiation Of the crime Of at
tempting to restore the caliphate. Fee
BILE as their effort was, Mustapha Renal
resorted TO swift and exemplary pun
ishment of them. II is barely six
weeks ago-on December 23-that the
outbreak occurred. The particular act
Of treason for which the rebels Of Men
emen were hanged was the deoapitation
Of q young army officer who attempted
TO warn the authorities OF the revolt,
the aim Of which was to protest against
Kemal's western innovations" and adj
vocate the restoration Of Islam's golden
age"
Originally thirty-seyen persons, re-
ngious fanatics Of humblest station for
the most part, were sentenced to death
The sentences Of i've were commuted
Two others we're ordered TO life i'm

lament. Two, terrified at the thought
Of the gallows, dropped dead as the
hour Of execution approached. 6heik

condemned to be hanged. but he ct9at-

painted by the Butler story. The con-
trast is too ridiculous"
Gen. Butler has been and is a very
good soldier and good citizen But he
made a mistake this time in the judg-
ment of the Savannah Morning News.
The Charleston News and Courier holds
that with all his wide experience with
men, he ought to have thought twice
before saying things that were likely to
cause an international conversation"
The Topeka Daily Capital believes that
there can be no defense of Gen. Butler
for publicly assailing the head of for
eign state" The New Castle News
states: He has had a spectacular, not
to say wonderful career. 1t Is too
bad that he should mar it by injudicious
utterances." The Charlotte News AYERS

States officer"
Maybe some of our soldiers, sailors
and Marines" argues the Rock Island
Argus, ARE too much given to frank
ness in public speaking, but on the other
hand 1t is refreshing to know that some
Americans survive who speak out from
the shoulder. MuSsolini himself is much
given to this sort Of thing He says
what he wants to say on every occasion.
Nor Is he very considerable of others.
The Federal Government has apologized
to Italy as step called for from dip
lomatic point of view"
AN apology was due the Duce," says
the Kansas City Star. But we recall
that Mussolini has not always been dis
Greet himself. For example, in
speech last May he referred to the prin-
c1ples immcrtelS of the French revolu-
ton, which are still revered in France,
as a most immense and refined swindle.'
Naturally the French were annoyed.
But did Mussolini apologize? He did not.
And no one in Italy would have dared
to suggest that he should. That is
where he has an advantage over Gen.
Butler"
''Nussolini himself" contends the
Wheeling Intelligencer, has said both
uncomplimentary and untrue things
about the United States, and there has
been no nonsense from our Department
OF State about having Rome make a
formal apology. Only two weeks ago.
IN casting about for excuses for the gen.
eral wage cuts throughout Italy, the
Duce publicly, violently and ridicu-
lousy blamed this misfortune to the
Italian workers upon the high wage
standards in the United States, the
American tariff and the stock market
collapse"
''Signor Mussolini," comments the
Birmingham News, neglected a mag
nifcent opportunity to make a declara-
ton in defense of child life the world
over. Romans may know that
their dictator would not hurt the hair
OF the hsad of little child But Amer
lea would rather hear from the dictator
that he loves them. In a grave charge
of this kind, some such declaration
would come with a grace-the grace of
strengthened without some of Signor
Mussolini's usual arrogance. He can
be arrogant even in supposed magma

MusSolini, is being court-martialed !"

Washington observes that Sir Eric
Drummond, secretary general of the
League of Nations, evidently fearing
dirty work at the Irreconcilable cross
roads, only tarried long enough on
United States soil this week to change
ships at New York. He's just completed
a tour of Argentina Uruguay, Peru
Chile, Panama and Cuba. Drummond
arrived from South America and then
skipped out by the light of the moon
for Italy. Manhattan reporters found
the seasoned British diplomat a cagey
interview proposition. He told them
there is no rivalry whatever between
the League of Nations and the Pan
American Union, because the formers
interest is worldwide and universal"
and the latters is regional" both lead
ing in the end ito amity and good will
between naticns." AS to Brands United
States Of Europe, Sir Eric described its
purpose as CLOSER European co-opera-
ton" and said that any country outside
of the League, which finds itself af-

These faces, we tell ourself, are hard,
ruthless, Implying, selfish. The men
and women behind them are bent only
on their own aims. They have no time
for others.
Ignorance!
That, we tell ourself, with no little
over the majority of these faces. These
people are all dressed up" but they
have no intellectual place to go.
They are the rank and file, and no
doubt we would be astonished If we
could realize fully how little they had
read, how few great songs they had
heard, or how few of the great men and
women of history they knew anything
about at all.
Universal education, we keep on tell
ing ourself, has passed over their heads
as a stream, in which they swan well
enough to keep af1oat during the re-
quired years.
AS soon as they could, most of them
got cut of it, either through work or
graduation, or BOTH and now they are
glad forever to be rid of the intellectual
grind.

Then we realize that this poor opinion
Of our fellow human beings is in itself
an individual reaction based on dislike
and fear of the mob.
The mob takes away individuality,
and without individuality human be-
ing is nothing but part of the mob.
1t takes but the emergence of one
likahIa face from the mass to change
the current Of thought, and put the
sunshine back into life.
Such pessimistic thoughts as the
foregoing are based on the flow of hui
man beings, unknown, unknowable,
simply faces in a sea of faces.
Just one face is enough to transform
the mob into a human being. This is
greater change than that of any ma
gician. 1t is a transformation which
NAV come at any street corner.
The mob resolves itself into human
being, and one can feel at home with a
human being. This being may be man
or woman. little girl or little boy.
The sight of this face, whoever 1t Is.
restores dre's faith in humanity. It is
a deep bell. sounding forth happiness.
1t is flower, growing out of flow
ing river.
1t is n chord of sweet music, arising
suddenly from the senselesS hum of a
ground bass.
This face transforms the spectator
instantly from a pessimist to an OPP
tinist, makes a mi5anthrope into a
humanitarian, and creates a philan-
thropist where before stood only critic.
Surely that Is a great deal for one
face to do, but it is being done every
Gay. on almost every street, in every
crowd, at every theater.
This action is far above mere liking,
and has nothing at all to 90 with the
curious manifestations known as sex.
It is, rather, the deep-seated brother
hood of man, about which there has
been so much written and spoken.
For did any one think the brother
hood of man lived only in books?
Why, it is to be found on any street
