hands invariably governed that ambi-

more to make base ball worthy Of re-

Smf1 hSonian explorers have found
the long-lost rib among the male Esh-

they're not Dragging about 1t, can ex-

event carries valuable importance In
the eyes of the discoyerers. who say
the extra rib may be hereditary. Some
indication Of this Is seen In the fact
that practically all of the twenty-fifth

most of them grow among Eskimos
living north Of the Yukon River.
About IL per cent of the 200 skeletons
examined have contained the extra rib,
which have appeared in humans occa-

seems to be the only race in which
the rule applies with any frequency.
Perhaps the return of the twenty

the waterway from Chicago to the Gull

That was, Of course, only q part Of
the cost.
Besides this Chicago has spent $40
100000 on the ship canal which
goes as far as Joliet. In other words
Chicago and Illinois, combined. have
contributed $100,000,000 toward the
waterway from the Great Lakes to New
Orleans. The United States Govern-
ment has contributed only $500 900.
The opening of this great waterway
depends now only on the compIetion
Of some bridges and is expected to oc-
cur within go days.
There are those who doubt whetheR
this great project will realize TIA

The Campaign Extended.

The decision to extend the Com
munity Chest campaign within the
Government departments for ten more
days is based on recognition Of the
enormous task involved in making q
personal solicitation Of all potential
contributors in the Federal establish
ment. The governmental unit in the
Chest campaign has Jagged this year,
and one reason has been the difficulty
of presenting to each employe. within
the relatively short space Of time for
merly allotted for the campaign, the
extraordinary need In Washington this
Winter and the necessity for gen.
erous response on the part Of all Wash
ingtonians. The governmental unit as
whole has gone a little more than
half way in meeting its assigned quota,
although a number of the bureaus and
divisions have exceeded their own.
ThomaS E. Campbell, president of the
Civil Service Commission and chairman
Of the Governmental Unit, has COM
mented upon the relatively generous
contributions from -m-salaried en-
ployes in the departmental service.
These, as always, are doing their share,
and if all of them are reached and the
employees drawing higher salary are
able sc contribute in proportion, Mr..
Campbell beNe-es the campaign will be
successful. Ma Daniel j. Donovan,
chairman Of the c..gpaign among mu-
nicipal employees, has pointed out that
the employees working under the Board
of Public Welfare have subscribed more
literally than any other group.
1t is believed that there Is signifi-
canoe in both statements. Those on
small salaries and those whose work
has brought them into more or less
direct contact with the suffering and
hardship among Washingtons unfor-
tunate need no urging to contribute.
They know the need which exists and
are doing their part to meet 1t. The
major task everywhere in this campaign
has been to bring home to Washing
tonians the fact that success or failure
Of the Community Chest in raising funds
can almost be expressed In terms of
life and death among the thousands
of Chest beneiciaries. Once there Is
realization Of the grim realities Of
Washington's situation there can be no
question as to personal responsibility or
willingness among Washingtonians in
dealing with them.
The Stars attention has been called
to possible misinterpretation of a list
of campaign units, and their standing
in reference to assigned quotas. which
appeared in these columns last Sunday
The school unit" was reported as hav-
ing reached 9041 per cent of its quota.
The school unit, of course, is made up
of the private schools in Washington
and does not include the employees in
the public school system, these being
grouped in the governmental unit. So
licitation among the school system en-
ployes is being continued, along with
the rest.

Carl Melchers.

Waving him farewell, his friends will
rejoice in the fortunate fate which
made it possible for Carl Melchers to
paint until almost the extreme end Of
his long and successful life. It was
practicing artist who died yesterday
morning, not the wreck Of one. Like
Titan, the great American colorist was
master of his hand to the last. The
dreams still came, the fingers still were
deft, each line still was beautiful and
firm and clear until no longer ago than
last Summer. His Indian Summer
and Virginia Beach," to be shown at
the Corcoran Gallery Biennial Exhibi
ton, opening Sunday, prove the point.
Melchers had good life. He in
herited an artistic impulse, If ever any
man did. He had every conceivable
educational advantage. He was privi-
legged to study abroad under competent
teachers in his early youth. He was
admitted to the Paris Salon when only
twenty-five years Of age. He had q
Continental reputation before the turn
of the century. His pictures brought
excellent prices. He was free, and he
used his opportunity to the utmost.
He saw his work in all the important
galleries Of the world. His fame was
substantial and assured. Returning to
live in the United States in 1914. he
was on the apex Of achievement. That
eminence he held. There was no de-
cline. No other modern painter has
had happier career.
A man Of natural dignity, but genial
and warm-hearted as a child, he found
pleasure in his association with peo-
pie He was quite as popular for his
| gifts of personal charm as for his
technical genius In Washington the
public knew him for his participation in
society as well as for his contributions
to the walls of the Library Of Congress,
the Corcoran Gallery, the National Gal
lery and the Freer Collection. He
served as a trustee of the Corcoran
Gallery and as chairman OF the
National Gallery Commission. For his
kindliness and his accomplishments he
will be remembered.

Wrong use Of prepositions Is one oi
the commonest faults in writing, but
there are few rules to help one, and
these are so general as to be Of little
practical aid.
AL that counts here Is usage.
English usage is a queer thing. It L
simply the form accepted by the best
writer's In any given case.
One might think complete anarchy
would prevail, in view Of the great dif
ference between minds, one from an
other, over the long passage Of the
years.
Usage, however, remains fairly con-
slant.
Good usage does not sanction such a
sentence as the following: "Responsi-
bility OF the conditions rests entirely
upon him"
The proposition called for Is for:
Responsibility for the conditions rests
upon him.
Usage, and usage alone, determines
all such cases.
Therefore the person who Is the best
read, other things being equal, will have
the best chance Of using propositions
correctly.
He will know right from wrong in
stinctively, as it were.
The drawback to such knowledge is
that he will writhe tnwardly q dozen
times day II he Is much Of . reader
of hurried productions.
Such writings at times seem to be
composed mostly by ignoramuses, at

sition and how every man or woman
does not possess it.
The pleasure OF good usage in any of
its branches Is distinct one.
1t furnishes both writer and reader
an inexhaustible source Of interest, as
well as satisfaction.
To be able to handle words correctly,
at least with more precision than many,
Is to be able to think straighter and to
compel others to accept ones thoughts.

Disappointing
Perhaps it would not do well to shout
this sad fact to the housetops, but the
thing is disappointing. just the same.
There Is an aspect Of futility to most
great books and writings II one happens
to be in the mood to see It.
One holds book in hand and reads
and finally stops with the thought,
We'll, so this is the best that man
could do on this theme. But it should
have been better. Some day some one
may do it better"
The chances are, however, remote
that any one will ever write better, and
the reader knows it, even as he voices
his secret disappointment.
Not only does there seem to be line
here, as elsewhere, beyond which man
cannot go; there seems to be in his
very mental constitution a certain in
ability to get to the top Of thinking.
