Depression?

Sunny Jim Fitsimmons trained horses during the summer racing season that won more than ESQ., GOO in stakes and purses. Inasmuch as Jim gets 10 per cent of the winnings, 1t looks like lots of ice cream and many movies for Fitz this winter. No wonder that line. s"TIe was great admirer of the thoroughbred race horse, creeps into so many biographies. :.

Work for Painters!

New York race tracks have been specializing in snappy paint jobs lately. The idea is to take a good horse, disguise him with the mark ings of cheap platter. enter him in race as the platter and clean tip on the bookies. This ought to help solve the unemployment sit- uation among Manhattan painters.

Crislers Opinion

Fritz Crisler, former Minneso- ta coach, now building character at Princeton. was asked the other day to compare eastern and mfd- western football. His reply was that in technique and coaching. the two sectors were on a par. but that there was some difference Tn the material. more men being available to Big Ten coaches. He might have gone further, if he had been an ardent middlewesterner, and added that after all it's the players who play the game.

, Great Help to TrafIlc

There really is no excuse for a man who has played college foot ball for not skipping on the brakes when he hears the shrill tootle-oo of the traffic policeman's whistle. In a modern game of football, with referee who is inclined to take the rules seriously, you young football player gets all the practice he needs at whistle listening. Col lege football ought to be a great help to automibile traffic.

They tell you that football is a game that helps to build youths character. If the team doesn't win, however, the coach-who happens to be the man hired to build the young mems characters-is fired. Thus, one of life's sweet lessons that young football player surely learns is that it is just too bad if you don't win. We'll?

Movie Tickets and Seats.

Washington moviegoerS are grateful
ming for securing assurances from
theater managers that patrons will be
notified verbally and by signs before
they buy tickets whether seats are
available. Even the most ardent movie
fan is likely to grow restive If he
reaches the inside Of the theater only
to find every seat taken and standing
room at premium; or, having scurried
to the mezzanine on being told by an
usher that he could get accommoda-
tions there, to discover the sams
crowded condition. Senator Carey's
bill to avoid these inconvenience TO
theatergoers was the medium for
securing the voluntary promises Of CO.
operation from the managers.
Under the new system it will be
solely up to the patron whether he
wishes to wait around either in the
lobby or the back of the theater in
order to see the show. If he buys a
ticket knowing that no seats are to be
had at the moment he is assuming the
risk. In the past, however, the movie
goer who reaching the interior of the
theater, became disgruntled at the lack
of accommodations and decided to
leave sometimes had difficulty in secur
ing a refund on his ticket These
occurrences will be avoided under the
new plan.

subjected to exceptional discomfort,

subjected to exceptional discomfort,
but, on the contrary, have found the
Capital to be satisfactory place of
sojourn. 1t Is true that many Wash
ingtonians go away from the city dur
ing that season, for 1t is the usual vaca-
ton time, and the trend of holiday
makers is away from home. Those
who must stay here by reason OF their
business engagements are not seriously
disconnected by the heat and find many
comforts.
1t is, of course, possible that just at
the time of the meeting of the Com
mercial Law League the temperature
will rise, but it will be rising elsewhere.
Other cities than Washington will be
hot, perhaps even hotter than the
Capital. And national gatherings that
have assembled there in preference to
Washington will have reason to regret
their choice on the score of the climate,
for they will not find the facilities for
convenient and satisfactory assemblage
affords. 1t is, of course, to be hoped
that the thermometer will not go on
a Nationwide rampage in July next
and that the Capital will be partic-
ularly clement when this organization
assemblies here, for that experience
will undoubtedly lead to further
breaking down of the unwarranted
prejudice that has prevailed to some
extent heretofore against this city as a
Summer meeting place.

Summer Meetings in Washington

Announcement that the next con-
vention of the Commercial Law League
of America will be held in Washington
in July is of more than usual interest
notwithstanding the fact that this city
is almost constantly the scene of
gatherings of national organizations.
Decision to this effect has just been
reached by the board Of directors Of
the league, with ten cities competing for
the honor of entertaining the conven-
ton. Washington's opponents in this
contest, mostly Northern Summer re-
sorts, contended that the Capital would
be an undesirable place Of assemblage
in July because of the chances Of
excessive heat. The convention manager
Of the Greater National Capital Com
mittee, however, demonstrated by a
compilation of Weather Bureau figures
that Washington has nothing unusual
in the way of weather discomfort during
Summer months, these figures includ-
ing average, minimum and maximum
temperatures and humidity readings for
the entire Summer period. That show
ing was effective, and accordingly the
meeting will be held here six months
| hence.
1t is not unusual for Washington to
be the scene of national gatherings in
] Summer. Numerous conventions have
been held here in the heated term. u
Those attending them have not been

Danger at Shanghai.

Dispatches from Shanghai, China, in
dicate a precarious situation with re-
spect to the safety Of foreigners. Re-
Gently clashes between Chinese and
japanese have been frequent, and now
II is announced that naval contingent
has been sent by Japan with a special
landing party. The authorities OF the
Shanghai international settlement are
now guarding the city with strong street
patrols The hope is that these meas
ures will prevent further disturbances
which might easily grow into grave
proportions.
The international settlement in Shang-
hal is a considerable area in the heart of
the city, fronting on the bund, or water
, side highway plaza. 1t is under the control
OF a municipal council Of representatives
OF various nations, including the Chi
nese. 1t has its own police force OF
British Indians, Anamese and other
non Chinese nationalities. The recent
dispatches state that the emergency
patrols used in the international set
element are mostly white Russians" ol
anti -bolshevik refugees.
At certain places at the boundaries
OF the international settlement are
strong steel gates, which may be CLOSED
at night or at times of danger. Barbet
wire entanglements lie ready along th'
suburban roadsides to be put into posi-
ton in the event of an uprising or
mob demonstration. In several place
brick and concrete strong points. veri
table forts, are in evidence.
This present trouble arises from th'
hostile feeling toward the japanese b.
the Chinese. especially the student class
proverbially troublesome in times Of in
ternational tension. Recently the stu
dents have been making pilgrimages,

reality limited to that figure, though

is close to $l,7Q0 900, ,000 1t is apparent,
therefore, that the situation holds the

American Willow Trees
Originally From Syria

To the Editor Of The Star:
Reading an interesting article in The
Evening Star of January 10 by Gretchen
Smith, on Birth of Capital Willow
Trees" as given to her by Miss Rosa
Mordicia, brings to my mind bit OF
history of all the weeping willow trees
in this country.
1t has been told that the first weep
ing willow tree was planted by John
Curtis of Virginia during the Revolu-
ticnary War, and still stands on the
Curtis estate in Virginia.
The story, as I recall it, is that "a
traveller in Syria once sent to Alexander
Pope, the English poet, box of figs, in
which was a twig from one OF the
weeping willows beside the rivers OF
Babylon, upon which the exiles used
to hang their harps. This twig was
planted alongside of the Thames, where
it grew. A British officer brought
slip from this tree and gave 1t to john
Curtis of Virginia
"Nurserymen claim that this tree Is
the ancestor of all the weeping willows
in this country
This, with the interesting history
given by Miss Mordicia of the willows
of Washington, D. c., awakenS new
interest in that tree, which is given
such prominence in the Bible-'the
willows of Babylon" AS We read just
those words thrill us with thoughts Oh
the beauty and grace Of the weeping
wlllow. MARY G.. TAYLOR.
