bellicose himself. With the Ger man developed finally into a thor oughly capable ringman, a solid, wearing puncher smart, courag- eous, and equipped for defense for the first time, the Sharkey attitude points toward some much needed warfare.
 Brooklyn's rabid fandcm has picked up with Hack Wilson just where it left off with Herman last Fall.
 The case of the lean and lanky Babe in. Brooklyn has always been unique in baseballs eccentric his- tory. Despite his faults Brooklyn esteemed him highly suffered with him as he chased high fly balls that threatened to settle in his aesophagus, banned him unmerci- fully when he dropped them or fanned ingloriously in a pinch, but roared with adulation when he redeemed himself with base knocks to the far fences.
 There was something in Brook lyn's Babe that had a definite and lasting appeal for the rugged, blasphemous citizenry that to a man hailed him as Holman" in the patois of the borough.
 When he was traded to Cin- cinnati something went out of Brooklyn's baseball life, something as definite as that which depart ed with the portly, near-sighted form of beloved Uncle Wilbert' Robinson.

The Art of Moving Safes

When police headquarters and the
Traffic Bureau were moved from the
Municipal Building and vicinity to
the present structure, at 462 Louisiana
avenue, the police officials took with
them three large safes, one of them
weighing seven tons. One of the safes,
containing several thousand dollars
worth of Yaluables, was en- route be-
Louisiana avenue when the whistle
blew on Saturday afternoon, and the
truck and the safe went 10 a garage,
remaining there until Monday, an in
cident which scandalized police officials
when they learned of it later, as the
sanctity of that safe has always been
q matter of high concern.
But the safes were finally lodged on
the fifth floor of the building at 462
Louisiana avenue, which is not as
young as it used to be. Not long ago
building inspector noted with alarm
that the safes imposed such a strain
on the old building that there was dan
ger lest some fine day they would de-
eide to move again and crash through
five floors to the basement, possibly
carrying many valuable police officials
with them.
So it was decided to move the safes
again. 1t is presumed, of course, that
the engineers were consulted, the re-
movaI of the safes being a delicate en-
gineering problem of no mean proper
tions. Riggers from the Washington
Navy Yard and laborers from the Bu-
reau of Mines were mustered into the
municipal service and the employees
who work in the building-including
those of the traffic directors Office
were told on Thursday morning to get

Attitude of Baker
Held every Receptive''

From the Charleston Is. c. Evening Post.
Newton Baker is warming up to the
idea that he might be the Democratic
nominee for President, and that is a
promising thing. A little while back
he wrote to North Carolinian that he
would rejoice to fight in the ranks for
idealism and hoped he would not have
to lead
Now he has written to a South Caro-
linian who urged him to become a can
didate that he would answer any call
made upon him. 1t is very near to an
admission of receptivity, to say the least
Gov. Roosevelt is still so far in front
for the nomination by his party that
it is almost assured that he will be
chosen, but it is never safe to count
upon anything in politics until the last
vote has been tabulated, and there is
undoubtedly a growing sentiment that
Gov. Roosevelt does not measure up to
the high requirements OF the situation.
The call for Baker to become a candi-
date is swelling, and he is evidently lis
tening to it more attentlVely.
He would make a great President.
And he would probably make great
candidate, too, for all that his inter
nationaliSm would not accord so we'll as
it might have accorded few years ago
with the sentiment of the country,
That, too, is in the category of idealism,
to which Mr.. Baker has so completely
and admirably committed himself, and
it is by no means certain that the
American people would not, in its pres
ent state of mind, rally in force to an
exponent of ideals even though it might
be skeptical as to certain of them spe-
ciically.

The World Speedboat Record.

Gar Wood is disappointed man to-
day but he is not going to let his dis
appointment prevent him from follow.
ing the old adage, IF at first you don't
succeed, try, try again" His disap-
polntment arises from the fact that he
has just been notified by the Yachts
mems Association Racing Committee
that he failed by three one-hundredths
OF second to break the world speed
boat record held by Kaye Don, the
BritiSher, Of nearly one hundred and
eleven miles an hour. Wood actually
exceeded Don'S speed, but not by the
required half mile an hour. He was
Just Ave feet two and one-half inches
short OF an undisputed world record
when he sent Miss America TX roaring
over the finish line with her twenty
four hundred horsepower motors whin-
ing from the strain.
Even though he failed, Wood is not
discouraged. Failures since Don and
the late Sir Henry Segrave successfully
challenged his supremacy as the worlds
best speedboat pilot are not new to him
1t was Sir Henry who first snatched
the honors from the veteran of Ameri-
can racing, but tragically he gave his
LIE for 1t when Miss England II struck
a submerged log. Kaye Don salvaged
the trim white craft and proceeded tc
put Wood further in the BACKGROUND
All this time, however, the Detroit
sportsman was not idle, and time after
time he endeavored to regain the record
So it was only natural that the first
thing he did on hearing the bad news
was to haul Miss America TX out OF
the water and set to work to make
slight changes in the hull, which, he
believes, will add the necessary speed
for the world championship. The tests
are to be conducted today or tomor-
row and all, even his rivals, wish him
success.
1t Is a certainty that II he does
break the record he will have a stiff
battle on his hands from the British
who on the question of speed will never
admit defeat. Lord Wakefield, the
English sportsman, who owned both
Miss Englands, already has announced
that another one will be built to
challenge any mark that Wood may
set up, so it does not look like a bed
OF roses for the American, even though
he succeeds in creating a new record.

Higghligghts on the Wide World
Excerpts From Newspapers of Other Lands

most part We have no debates as to
what is intrinSically right or wrong in
conduct. The stage, the cinema, the
playing of cards, the drinking of intoXi-
CantS we do not consider TeprehenSible
in themselves, nor do We consider the
paint On feminine faces and the cigaret
in feminine lips unmiStakable badges
of evil. Yet there are people in Ger
many, England and the United States
who sumnarily eXpunge from their
list Of friends any who enjoy or employ
these diversions and embellishments.
1t is true that in America HBpana'
We are sometimes divided among our
selves as to the desirability Of sports
like cock and bull fighting, yet there
is no predominant opinion, such as in
England, which justifieS among us the
chasing Of a hare with a raucouS pack
Of cruel dogs.
We are consistently orthodox in our
views on marriage and divorce, We aC-
Cept and understand all marital re-
SpOnSibilitieS. DiShOnOrS are not eX-
plated by an action in the court. So
characteristic environments and herit
ages array whole nations in contrasting
tendencies of conduct. Some are aC-
tuated by ambition: others by higher
aspirations. And so, between nations,
as between individuals. there is sure to
be lack of sympathy and understand
ing.
The North American considers the
inhabitants of South America mostly
big-hatted, bare-footed bandits, bris-
ting with bombs and belligerency, while
the average South American sees Uncle
Sam only as a surly, Scrimping Shy
lock, surrounded by sKyscrapers, with
a pistol on each hip to protect his
money bags And, paradoxically enough,
each people formulates these opinions
from actual acquaintance with the
other! So much for prejudice and par
tiality!

Lack of Understanding
Among Nations Deplored.

Ell TEMPO, Bogota-About the hard
est thing in life is to appreciate the
point of view of all the different people
with whom we come in contact. Our
real friends are generally few, and
they are always those vino think as We
do. There have been cases, it is true,
where men of opposite temperaments
and convictions have become firm
friends, but these cases occur only when
there is tacit agreement not to tread
upon each others toes in discussing
convictions that are not mutually ac-
ceptable. We are not referring now to
those broad and basic distinctions which
make it impossible for a criminal ever
to understand wyh it is more advan-
tageouS to be good, and for a worthy
citizen to understand the incentive
of the malefactor, but rather we have
in mind those antagonistic tendencies
among people all of whom are to be
considered good citizens at least in
their own evaluations.
These divisions of Thought and feeling
are more pronounced in other countries
than they are in Colombia, and other
Spanish American countries where be-
cause of our history and traditions, and
the common source of our religion and
ancestry, majority OF the population
are unanimous in their judgments and
uniform in their proclIvities. For the

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

| No man hath yet seen a vitamin, as
far as we know, but many can tell you
great deal about it.
There are five or six different vita
minis, according to them, each one pos
sessing different property.
Vegetables contain some of them. The
liver of the cod contains two. SUM-
shine holds one.
| Vitamins seem to be everywhere, and
| II we get enough of them we will be
all right.
That, at least, is the theory.
You take your vitamins on faith, In
vegetables and the like. Raise you1
vegetables yourself, pick them from the
garden when it is cool, not hot, and
they will give you your daily supply
of essential vitamins.
X
In the old days, before the vitamin
theory came along with its seductive
appeal, half faith, half intelligence (and
surely another half hopeD men called

1t was the salts" in vegetables which
were supposed to be so good for you
After all, 1t doesn't make much diff
ference what one calls a good thing
it is good for you just the same, and
Notwithstanding.
Hence a plentiful supply of vegetables
in the diet is said to be one of the
best ways to keep healthy. The chill
dren Of country people-not the adults
are obviously the healthiest people in
the world.
They have red cheeks, and are SO
healthy that their city cousins some
times shrink from them. Even when
the country boys and girls come to the
city the discerning eye can spot them
for years.
After a decade or so the influence
OF the city tones down their skins, and
they become like the rest Of us. The
good influence of fresh vegetables has
disappeared.
Let no one pop up to say that coun-
try children never get vegetables, that
all of the tomatoes and the turnips and
the spinach-yes, Spinach-is sent to
the cities.
That may have been true during the
past few years, but formerly farm folk
always planted gardens, and had plenty

cluding scores of jars of vegetables, put
up in the Fall.
During the peak years Of prosperity,
we believe, thousands of country and
farm people neglected their vegetable
patches. They preferred to buy from

1t was a great deal easier than put

beans, and tomatoes, and jelIies. and SO
on and so on, through the entire list
of delectableS.
Economic conditions have changed
all that; there are evidences everywhere
that this is going to be a banner
vegetable garden year throughout the
country.
And this good movement should and
probably will include the cities and
the closely associated suburban COM
munities
This year vegetables will be planted
where only flowers grew before. No
amateur horticulturist can feel that he
knows much about gardening until he
has raised a few vegetables, at least
Gardening is an honest wholesome
recreation, one which just suits many
temperamentS as well as many ply
siques. Tending a vegetable patch is
not as easy as growing flowers, but it
is all the better recreation and exercise
for that.

The Bus Terminal Problem.

Another charge Of traffic rule viola
tion has been dismissed in the Police
Court on the score Of the unreasonable
ness Of the use Of curb space by busses.
A woman driver O. motor car, finding
her progress blocked by string of
buses waiting for passengers, turned
TO the left and passed a street car on
Ehe wrong side. Judge Hit held that
this action was necessitated by the
presence of the buSses, which were
parked by permission within space
marked off by do Not Enter" signs.
Thus again the traffic rules as ap-
piled to the operators of private ve-
hicles conflict with special privileges
granted to the public carriers. The
court has on two occasions dismissed
charges. If these decisions are gen.
orally followed the bus parking privi-
lege nullifies the regulations. Such q
situation should not be permitted to
continue.

Street Cars Scored
BY Chevy Chase Man
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor Of The Star
During the past two years since I
have resided in Chevy Chase, D. c., the
people in this section have been sub
jected to grossly inadequate street car
service. During this time I have per-
sonally noted my acquaintances and
neighbors being forced to stand in over
crowded street cars for a ride of ap-
proximately As minutes or hour dur
ing the peak period from the down
town district of Washington into the
Chevy Chase section. Since the re-
moval of my office, along with thou
sands of others, into the new Depart
ment of Commerce Building, conditions
have been worse. I have been forced
to stand in an overcrowded and poorly
ventilated street car on my return trip
from the Commerce Building to my
home in Chevy Chase. I have seen
several of my neighbors and acquaint-
ances being forced to do likewise. Some
of these people are elderly ladies and
others far less able physically to stand
up under this ordeal than I am.
have protested to the Capital Traction
Co., and my letter has been ignored
I shall, Of course, appeal to the Pub
lie Utilities Commission and my local
citizens association at the next monthly
meeting unless our service is improved
in the meantime Procedures OF TINS
kind naturally take long time, and
in the meantime we must suffer consld-
cradle inconvenience. Therefore, am
respectfully asking that you publish TINS
letter so that we may get some pubic
consideration and support.
If local taxicab company would
consider operating service into our sec
ton during the peak periods, I do not
believe that there will be much diffl--
Guilty in getting considerable amount
of business, provided its charge per
person would not be considerably
greater than present street car fares
