Government apparently takes little In
terest is difficult to understand. Ger
tainly it Is rather preposterous to sup
pose that the District should be ex-
pected to hand over all Of the public
street space in the vicinity of the Fed
eral buildings for garage purposes ex-
clusively to Federal workers when the
Government had made no provision to
take care of a situation that was bound
to arise with the completion of the
various new structures.
II is obvious that even II the District
had granted the request OF Secretary La
mont, the relief would be SO trifling as
to be negligible. Unrestricted parking for
only fifty-fve cars out Of total of
more than thirteen hundred employees
would be of little aid in solving diff
ficult trafic condition. If the Federal
Government desires to furnish parking
space or garage space for its thou
sands Of employees, who are concentrated
during the day time in the Mall
Avenue Triangle, 1t should find some
other way TO do it than to call upon
the District to give up its public streets.
It Is a makeshift solution Of vital

means Of sensitizing first roll of paper
and then strip Of transparent gelatine.
To measure the effect Of this young
mans discoveries is beyond possibility.
In every part Of the world his cameras
have been carried. Countless millions
of photographs have been taken by
them. Thare is hardly a spot in the
area reached by man that has not been
snapped" Nor is it possible to reckon
the pleasure and the profit derived
from the cinema, which could not have
been had but for his discovery. He has
added immeasurable millions to the
worlds wealth.
1t Is related tnat when he made his
first million Eastman exultantly told his
mother Of his fortune. "Yes?" she re-
piled, only mildly interested. The tone
of her voice made him realize that the
mere possession CT money was no great
achievement. He proceeded to put his
wealth to good uses. His benefactions
are now estimated at beyond s75, ,o00,-
900, a great university at his own city,
rich endowment of the Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology, numerous other
educational institutions hospitals,
philanthropic works, an almost count
less series of gifts. BY his own ad-
mission almost a moron at music,
Eastman was nevertheless greatly in
terested in the rendition Of good music;
he endowed a school for the training
of voices, he aided aspiring young
people who sought the development of
their talents, he founded an orchestra.
In short. Eastmans gifts in the promo
tion of this art were the greatest in
history.
His work was done, he felt. His
health was bad. He had never married
and had no one nearly related to
mourn his passing. He chose to effect
his own departure. His act was wrong.
in one sense, but his philosophy was
content with that method of exit from
an existence that held no promise and
had been marked with such success as
comes to very few. He passes, but his
works live, his influence remains and
his benefactions will continue to give
JOY and comfort and opportunity to
millions in the years to come. He
pressed the button" and the result
was q marvel.

A Proper Refusal.

The Commissioners took eminently
> the proper action in refusing the re-
quest of Secretary Of Commerce Lamont
to set aside portions Of the public
streets for the exclusive parking use OF
Commerce Department employees. In a
letter to the District heads the Secre-
'tary had asked that Fifteenth street
between E and Constitution avenue be
turned over to workers In the new
building and also that the Commis-
tween Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets
in the same manner. The Commis.
sioners refusal was based on the unas-
sailable logic that 1t would be contrary
to District policy TO give such a priv.
lege to one group Of Federal employe,
TO the detriment Of the rights of other:
who are entitled to use the public street
space: that the area mentioned would
a accommodate only seventy-three cars i
parked at an angle-which is prohibited
In Washington by the traffic regulation
and only f1fty-five If parked parallel
In regard to Constitution avenue, the

tary that it is under the control Of the

Sousa Lauded as Composer,
Conductor and Bandmaster

How warm a place In the affections
Of his fellow countrymen was held by
John Philip Sousa has always been
known, but it remained for his death
to bring out in the fullness Of public
expression the sentiments entertained by
thousands toward the great American
composer and band leader.
when you hear Of Sousa retiring
you will hear Of Sousa dead Americas
most famous bandmaster said several
years ago with characteristic spirit"
remarks the San Antonio Express, which
notes that death came to him as he
had wished. 1t found him almost lit
orally with baton in hand and the ap-
plause of an audience ringing in his
ears" The Schenectady Gazette COM
ments: ITO Sousa came the privilege
of dying as he wished-in the harness.
It was most fitting that he should have
led his band in rehearsal just a short
time before death overlook him."
1T was as leader of the Marine Band
of Washington that he first rose into
fame" recalls the New Castle (Pa.)
News, which adds, however: THAT was
only the beginning Of his career. For
IL years he was with the Marines, and
his services in the World War were
notable" The Indianapolis News finds
its memories Of him going back ito the
bigneSS of the 1893 Worlds Fair at
Chicago, of which he was one Of the
features as a band conductor, and one
thinks of his directing part in huge
band activities of World War times as
having natural and inevitable fitness"
In the estimation of the Chicago
Daily News "Sousa's relation to the
march form was much the same as that
of Johann Strauss to the Viennese
waltz. Sousa, like Strauss, wrote as II
inspired. He thrilled audiences because
his music was not labored and dun,
but breathed enthusiasm and carried
swinging, appealing thematic material"
Comparing him to still another great
composer, the Hartford Daily Times
says: "Sousa put his own stamp upon
band music, quite as much as Wagner
did upon his own compositions. A
Sousa march identifies itself to the
tyro in a half dozen bars"
"The most torpid Imagination was not
proof against his airs. The most So
phisticated yielded to the measures his
baton called FORTH" according to the
New York Sun, which continues: "In
Sousas dynamic person were welded
the faculties Of composer, performer,
