which the child will make but lit
tie progress if the parents them
selves do not practice it.
But the day was not entirely
given to better understanding of
the why" of children's actions.
After delicious pot-luck lunch,
which was served at noon, there
was short program consisting of
a guessing contest, song and a
reading by Mrs. Russell of Ben
ton City. Group singing for the day
was led by Mrs. Rose and Mrs.
McDaniels, the latter from Hover.
Mrs. Earl Jones of Richland was
the accompanist.
The afternoon program consisted
of style show of new and re-
modelled garments, the work on all
of which had been done by the wo-
men who modelled them. The six
women modelling or displaying the
made-over garments reported to-
tai expenditures of $11.50. The
total value of these garments was
$4,000. The new garments shown
were afternoon and house dresses.
Miss Holderbaum, the clothing
specialist with the Extension Serv-
ice, had charge of the style show
and gave an interesting and APP
propriate talk in connection with
the modelling of the garments.
After this revue of present day
garments the audience was de-
lighted by the modelling of old
fashioned dresses some of which
were made as long as As years ago.
Mrs. j. c.. Buchanan of the Ken
newick River Road acted as chair
man of the committee of five which
planned the days program.
Mrs. Roop jr., of Benton City,
president of the county council,
presided during the day, which was
an enjoyable and helpful one.

The other day two women fell
into discussion of which was the
more lovely season, spring or fall.
They concluded by agreeing that
all seasons are delightful and that
it is pretty fine old world to

Only few days of the session re-

an enactment of this sort might be
rushed through, if the spirit is willing.
It would not affect the immediate sit

ture of hospitality and would reassure

the possibility of coping with this diff

Notes Remarkable Wound
OF Gen. Gabriel r. Paul

To the Editor OF The Star:
The interesting article in The Star
of Tuesday showing the pictures of
heroes of the Civil War interested me
very much, particularly the mention of
the remarkable wound of Mr.. Elnathan
Meade, whose picture. among others,
was shown giving him most remark
able wound Of the Civil War veterans
now living"
Remarkable as the wound Of Mr.
Meade. would like to submit the wound
of Brig. Gen. Gabriel R. Paul, a kins-
man of mine On the first day of July.
1868, at the Battle of Gettysburg. Gen.
Paul was commanding a brigade of
Wadsworth'S Division of the 1st Army
Corps under Gen. Reynolds. He was
shot through the temple. totally de-
stroying his eyes. and reported as one of
the killed by Gen. Meade in his report Of
the battle of that day. After. when the
burial of the dead was taking place,
Gen. Paul was found to be breathing.
He recovered his health, being there
after totally blind. He was retired from
the Army according to his rank, and
lived in this city for many years, dying
after the Inauguration of President NC
Kinley.
He rests in Arlington Cemetery. where
his monument stands as you go into the

Bv ThOughtless People

To the Editor OF The Star:
Over 100000 persons witnessed the
fireworks at the Monument Grounds
on the night of July 4. most of us at
not a penny's expense Apparently
every single one LETT behind as much
litter as possible The sight that night
and next morning was sickening to
any one who knows the beauty of the
spot An army of laborers endeavored
to pick up by nand scraps of news
paper no bigger than coin. Owing to
the dampness 1t was worse than usual,
the paper having fallen into millions OF
pieces The same thing happens sew
eral times q week at the band concerts,
and on Easter Monday at the White
House. Children, who on their own
school grounds would not think OF
dropping a lunch bag or touching =
flower are witnesses to the fact that
adults fill the grass with peanut hulls
and a mass of torn paper. At the con-
certs when the National Anthem is
played we stand at respectful attention,
then calmly leave the Capitol, Monu-
ment or District Memorial disgrace

are so few and far between one has to
carry his trash home. However, q large
cart with chicken wire around the
sides could be placed on the grounds

papers in It, Where we acquired such
habit, it would be hard to say, but If
we have any civic pride such habit
should be broken. Even though 1t may
be the custom in other cities. that Is
no reason why we should follow suit.

be asked by whose authority this was
planned? The Bureau Of Public Roads
built the highway, but who supervised
the designing of the route and who es-
tablished the policy in advance of max
ing it veritable commercial road?
Col. Grant has reserved his decision.
with further testimony to be taken on
the subject. 1t is to be hoped that this
question of the expenditure Of con-
siderable sum for the erection Of wait
ing rooms for bus patrons who may
never use the line and who would have
difficulty in reaching them save by
other vehicles along the road will be
cleared. As the case stands, it would
seem that there has been a conflict of
purpose. The fact that somebody
thought to build waiting rooms for
possible passenger bus line should not
of itsrlf cause a decision to turn over
this national memorial route to pas
senger service of value to a very small
patronage.

What Congress Might Do.

If Congress wants to tackle the
bonus marchers problem effectively it
might well consider an enactment
which would at least relieve the District
of Columbia of future menace to its
peace and health. 1t might provide for
the construction at some pint near the
Capitol of a petitioners hotel, COM
modious enough to accommodate many
thousands, with kitchens for the pro-
vision of meals and with sufficient
appropriation to maintain constant
service, perhaps the year round, for all
who may come to Washington to ask
for legislation or for relief.
The right of petition guaranteed by
the Federal Constitution has been exer-
cised in this instance by an army of
men from all over the country, for
whom no provision has been made.
The burden of caring for them has in
effect been laid upon the municipal
government. Congress has gone so far
as to permit the use of the Capitol
grounds as a meeting place, and for one
night a camping place, and now a
marching place for the most persistent
unit of the great group.
Nobody at the Capitol has said any
thing to question the right of these
men to come to WASHINGTON to ask for
legislation. Indeed it cannot be qucs-
toned. And SO, as this is national
matter, not a local. Congress should, In
all logic and fairness to the local COM
munity, take over the entertainment Of

Fix Wheat Prices
To Help the Farmer

To the Editor of The Star:
In helping the farmer you will help
every one. During the World War the
wheat prices were established by the
Government at s2.o6 per bushel at the
elevators in Minnesota. Let the Gov
ernment establish a price of $2.06' at
the elevator anywhere in the United
States for one-half the wheat the farm
ers raise and sell wheat to the flour
mills at $500 at the elevator, allowing
the e/.vator cents per bushel for
handling it, but only buy one-half the
wheat the farmers raise and require
them to keep the other half at home
unless the half crop should not be
enough to feed the American people, in
which case the Government could call
for more.
If the Government got too much
wheat, it could dispose of it to some
foreign nation at the best price pcs
sible That would give the wheat farm
er enough to paw his taxes and inter-
est, and he could live from his cows,
hogs. chickens and garden. The price
Of bread should not advance enough to
hurt any one if it did not advance any
more than it came down when wheat
took q drop from $2.06 to so cents and
less, THOMAS KELLY. :.

Citizens Suffer While
Police Watch Marchers

To the Editor of The Star:
Isn't it time for the taxpayers and
residents of the District Of Columbia to
receive some police protection, rather
than devote the work of the entire
Police Department to this army of bonus
naggers?
Why are they not forced to leave this
city, and why should respectable citi-
zens suffer continued burglaries and
other offenseS because a few politicians
are aching for votes from these men?
Our Office has been broken into and
valuable books and other property stolen
by sneak thieves. even after the Police
Department had been warned three days
ago that an attempt had been made to
jimmy the door. But the police claim
that so large part of the police force
is needed for this bonus mob that de-
cent citizens are left without protection,
in their offices and homes We pay
taxes for such protection and these
vagrants from other States crowd in
here and require the police. whose SAL
aries are paid by our taxes to keep
them in order. 1t is time they were

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

at Norfolk. Baker represents the power
company and Thompson the Power
Commission. The case is said to in
volve the very life of Federal super
vision of power projects in navigable
waters. The constitutionality of the
Federal water power act Is also a.
stake. Power and anti-power interest
are watching the litigation with su-
preme interest.
Out where the Middle West centers,
in Nebraska, Iowa. Kansas and Mis-
souri,. they're far more interested in the
repeal of the agricultural marketing act
than in the repeal of the eighteenth
amendment. It's the region where the
Federal Farm Board enjoys its widest
unpopularity. Some of Senator Norris
constituents have been expecting him
to force congressional investigation
of the Farm Board. The understanding
in Nebraska is that the administration
does not think such an inquiry is de-
sirable at the present time. A poll Of
farmers in the corn belt, 1t is said,
would reveal SO per cent vote in favor
of abolishing the Farm Board lock,
stock and barrel, especially the barrel,
which the board has tapped for grain
buying and price fixing purposes. Sen
ator Brookhart's defeat for renomina-
tion is attributed In part to his devoted
support Of the body set up by Congress
In 1929 to make the world safe for
agriculture.

Bus Booths on the Highway.

In the course of the hearing yester-
day before Col U. S. Grant, Sd, di-
rector of Public Buildings and Public
Parks, in respect to the use Of Mount
/. Vernon Memorial Highway for regular
scheduled bus service, against which
{ vigorous protest has been entered and
voiced, a statement was made in be-
, half of the Bureau of Public Roads,
which had charge of the construction
work on the highway, that it was es-
pecially designed to accommodate local
bus traffic, with ten turnout points
:9-ovided at considerable expense and a
number of shelters erected tor persons
waiting for busses.
Those who have been using the high
way of late have noticed these rustic
structures with some degree of curiosity.
They stand out in striking evidence
along the roadside, in all but one or
two instances quite alone and detached
from any sign of habitation. Open to
the winds and rain, they could not

the event of storm. With the traffic
steadily speeding by, their use has been
problematical. Parking along the road
is not permitted except at certain places
where lookout and observation space is
| provided for the viewing of river scenes.
These little booths do not coincide with
any roads or paths leading into the
highway save in two or three instances,
being set down apparently by some rule

Among nations, as among individuals,
a debt fairly contracted can only be
settled in one way. and that is by pay
