Goldman spent his Winters with SYM
phony organizations, but played in
bands In the Summer. It was with
these bands that he developed the idea
Of band Of his own.
Goldman went ahead with his band
idea and In 1918 on the green at CO.
lumbia University he showed what he
had done. The result was Summer
audiences Of from $4,000 to 10000 per-
sons at every Goldman concert. From
that time on the Goldman band con-
certs became a national institution.
Goldman's career as radio con-
ductor began with broadcasting itself.
He was heard from Station WIZ when
that famous tranSmitter was located in
Newark in 1921. Since that time he has
been continuously associated with radio,
and the broadcast of his Summer con-
certs over the N. B. c. System has
made his name household word from

The policemen at present on duty in
Washington give their orders clearly
and with precision.
The annual toll of casualties should
be much lower. A little less stupidity
on the part of some drivers. an even
greater tightening up Of enforcement by
policemen and continuation Of the
good work, on the part of the trafic
office in suspending and revoking the
permits of those who have no fitness or
right to operate potentially dangerous
vehicle will bring this about.
The District, like all other commune
ties, OF course, will perhaps always have
its quota of drunken and reckless hit
and-run drivers and as long as they
remain uncaught by the police their
trail will be one of death and destruc-
ton. Eternal vigilance, therefore, is
necessary to reduce the number of this
type Of drivers. When caught. such a
one should have no mercy at the hands
of the law. He should never again be
allowed to operate a motor vehicle.
So 1t is up first to the motorists them
selves to add the ounce of prevention
to their daily driving habits, next to the
policemen to arrest those who fail to
cooperate and then to the traffsc once
to make quick shrift of those whose
licenses should be suspended or can
celed. II this is done, the National
Capital should set an even more en-
vtable record in the future.

The Hero PerfOrce.
From che New York Herald Tribune.

From che New York Herald Tribune.
A story, complete with trimmings
which one cannot help Suspecting to
be apocryphal, comes out of Plymouth,
England, to the effect that Aircrafts-
man Shaw has been revealed as the
"hero" of the recent aviation accident
in which nine officers and men Of the
Royal Flying Corps were killed when
their plane dived into Plymouth Harbor.
The small figure and ungainly features
Of the former T. E. Lawrence-"Law-
renee Of Arabia"-were seen fitting in
and out of the trial room, where a court
of inquiry sat upon the accident. 1t
is enough: another sprig is added to
the vast and proliferating legend which
already enshrouds the strange little
man whose conduct has been so in
comprehensive to the age which has
produced him. He must have been q
hero of the accident, for Lawrence Cor
Shaw is not permitted by hurrying
world to be anything save hero or
monster, an extreme of one sort or
another. a conventional headline char
acter whose doings, whatever they are,
must be recorded In black type and
special cables.
Such are the rewards of oddity and
reticence In an age organized upon the
basis of press agentry and publicity.
Mr.. Shaw's motives, though obviously
peculiar, are his own, and whether that
monumental self-effacement, that elab-
crate incognito and that almost patho-
logical modesty are genuine, or are
merely the astute device Of one who
recognizes that in an age OF trumpet
tooters silence is the most blaring ad-
vertisement, is a question that nobody
except Mr.. Shaw can answer. The
fact remains that Aircraftsman Shaw,
who never gives interviews to reporters,
who is totally inaccessible and whose
literary works are circulated from hand
to hand as II they we're something OBJ
scene. has seen himself proclaimed as
an international power, has been
charged with the most devious machi-
nations in half dozen different parts
of the world, has even achieved the
honor of being formally indicted by the
Soviet government. Even Sir Basil
zaharoff's triumphs in reticent public
ity pale beside those OF Aircraftsman
Shaw.

Whsrs Girls WIN BE Girls.

Once again--for the fourth time
the fervent prayers of the japanese
people for an heir to the imperial
throne have gone unanswered. The
Empress Nagako. consort Of Emperor
Hirohito, early today gave birth TO her
fourth daughter within period Of
seven years. The dynasty of the Mi

Bad Air in the Buses.

Assuredly some steps should be taken
by the Public Utilities Commission, as
1t is now indicated will be done, to
insure the better ventilation of the
buses that ply the streets Of the Capital.
A proposal to require the installation
of fan devices Is under consideration
and appears likely to be adopted.
Tests recently conducted by the Dis
trict Health Department showed a
dangerously high percentage Of carbon
dioxide in the vehicles when they are
crowded, in one instance a bus hold
| ing a large number of school pupils
yielding twenty-seven parts Of that gas
in 10000 parts of air. This is a very
bad atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide is not to be confused
with carbon monoxide, the deadly gas
that results from incomplete combus-
ton. 1t is a product" of exhalation.
While not acutely harmful, as is that
other combination, 1t is deleterious TO
health when taken into the lungs for
any length Of time. 1t is the bad

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRAcEWELL.

We admit it, without further pause,
and declare here and now that we are
glad we never had to. Surely We would
have hammered our left thumb beyond
recognition, If we had attempted to
drive home 7,645 assorted carpet tacks
as we crawled on our knees around the
Is by is feet.
There was something to be said for
the old-time carpets, however, even
II they did harbor dust. After all, dust
is sometimes like the theoretical dog
it is well to let it lie. Old-fashioned
carpets, running from side to side Of
the room, gave sense Of completeness
and home-i-ness which rugs sometimes
fail to give a room.
It is interesting to note that modern
decorators are turning back again to
all-over carpets. or to rugs which are
large enough to practically cover the
entire floor.
Scientists who specialize in making
rooms quiet, more necessary now than
ever In the history of mankind, claim
that carpets, or large all-over rugs,
with plenty of window hangings, will
do more than any other one factor to
cut down the noises which arise within
the house itself. It IS probable, too,
that they will do something to modify
noises of exterior origin.

Spring housekeeping" was truly q
nightmare to the old-fashioned huS-
band, who found his favorite chair re-
moved to the dining room, and even
there piled high with cushions, or per-
haps pictures.
There was no place to sit down. Most
Of the things which should have been
in one room were in another, and
where the furnishings of that room
were no man could say.
Lamps sat on the floor. sofas were
on end, the windows looked bare and
forlorn, the floors ugly and dusty. AS
for the piano, pride of the house. 1t
was piled so high with miscellaneous
articles that 1t was almost lost TO view.
These were a few of the physical
pains OF the annual housekeeping.
What was far worse, however, was the
mental inferiority which settled upon
the IMAM of the house." as he saw
himself without any place IN all this
grand pow-wow.
It was bad enough to come home
and find the house upset, but 1t was
infinitely worse to discover that sud-
denly one became plainly in the way.
Thousands upon thousands of faith
full husbands no doubt suffered the
most exquisite mental tortures. as they
realized, what before had but vaguely
oppressed them, that they were simply
well paying guests in their own homes.
\ \
The modern system of house main
tenance has ended all that Now a
man can flatter himself that his home
is his castle, in truth and fact, and
that he is the veritable lord of 1t.
And the big thing is that the home
is infinitely cleaner all the time, far
more dustless the II months around
than it formerly was for just a few
days in the year and as the result OF
INFINITE fuss and bother.
Gone are the dust caps, the mops.
the pals, the carpet beaters. the
brooms, the tack hammers and the
tacks. the dust and confusion. All
those things have their places in the
modern home, too. but it is not up
stairs. Wax, and the electric sweeper,
and above all the new idea OF constant
maintenance, as applied to housekeep-
ing problems, have made Spring mod
ern in new sense.

Dean Smoot.

With the retirement of Furnifold M
Simmons, Democrat, of North Carolina,
from the United States Senate after
thirty years of meritorious service, the
rank of dean Of that body passes to
another congressional veteran, Reed
Smoot, Republican, Of Utah. Senator
Smoot is at the outset Of his twenty
ninth successive year in the Upper
House and is completing his fifth full
term there. Not only by sheer seniority,
but by that more important test-ca-
pacity-the tall sycamore of the Salt
Lake country enters appropriately into
the new dignity that falls upon his
shoulders as Father of the Senate.
There are men in the Senate little
more than half Reed Shoots age, yet
not the youngest of them outdoes him
in industry. Though he is climbing
toward seventy, it is commonplace
for his colleagues to say that the Utah
statesman is the Understanding MEM
Der on either side Of the aisle. For
many years he has been the Senate's
outstanding authority on fiscal affairs.
He knows the ms and outs Of appro-
priations as few men of his time have
mastered them. Since the enactment
of the Federal budget system, Senator
Smoot has been a vigilant, but never
an unreasoning, watchdog of public
funds. His economic theory is not
weighted down with penny-wise pound
foolish shibboleths.
When the country's millions have re-
suited in the creation Of the new and
greater Washington, 1t will have Reed
Smoot to thank in high degree for the
policy which made their appropriation
possible and promoted the moneys
sagacious expenditure. Not the least Of
Senator's Shoots fiscal service in the
Senate was his representation of it on
the World War Debt Funding Commits
sion. He is q rockribbed supporter of
the protective tariff principle and CO.
author Of the revenue law now in
force.
Reed Smoot does not consume I'M
necessary time on the Senate floor or
I'LL futile pages in the Congressional
Record. He has few wisecracks to his
credit. He prefers to specialize in the
