zONING laws impose q regula-
Ii ton on the height Of buildings
in Washington, but Commerce
building is even more squat than
the regulations provide. 1t covers
innumerable acres and rises only
six stories above the flatlands OF
the sidewalk.
The net result is that everybody
is about five furlongs from the
place at which he wishes to arrive.
Nor are conditions improved by the
fact that various ingenious 1okers
have been inserted in the number
ing of the various offices. For in
stance, I walked six and a half miles
looking for Room No. 4O27. I evenL
tually discovered that there is no
such place, and accordingly one Of
the brilliant resident statesmen
missed an opportunity Of having an
amusing chat with one of the most
promising of New York's younger
journalists.
There is a No. 4019, but the in
tervening figures have been left out.
Still, why complain? I suppose the
whole thing was designed in spirit
of good clean fun by the genial Mr..
Hoover.
During the summer recently eX-
pired it was my opinion to reduce
by going in for golf. The season
being over, think I'll change my
plan and apply for the job Of Wash
ington correspondent. But if this is
to do me any good I must avoid
the lazy habits OF the local COM
mentators. Since every press room
is situated one-quarter mile from
the Office on which it depends for
news the sluggard correspondents
take up a strategic position leaning
against some convenient wall in the
hope that during the afternoon
General Johnson, Edward NIcGrady,
DR.. Wolman or one of the other
fountS of news will happen to pass

Your editorial of Sept. 20, THAT
Awful Smell" certainly hit the nail
on the head. 1t got results. 1t only
is through such editorials like that
that we are ever going to get any
place. More power to you. Show
up few more of them.
For example, the government pay
ing for pigs and letting them rot
while thousands Of people are go

meat tastes like.
They say we are living in an in

have more sense than that.
Your motto is, "Give light and
the people will find their own way"
Turn on some of that juice and
show 'em up.
Why could not the government
have had that meat cured, fat
rendered into lard and turned some
over to the thousands of community
kitchens all over the country? 1t is

Fellow red-blooded Americans, of
all walks OF life, listen: Our country
needs us, calling us for an important
duty, one we neither can shirk, neg
lect or forget, lest our country will
suffer greatly and we perish with it.
Therefore, let's observe the fol-
lowing important and vital points:
/. Let's comply fully with NRA,
cooperate and work together with
President Roosevelt, General john
son and others in their sincere en-
deavor to pull us out of this critical
economic difficulty. Those able
should create more jobs for idle men
and women; American workmen
and women want no charity, and

upon one occasion the noted journalist, Ann
Royal, knowing the Presidents habits, and who
had been seeking an interview with the Chief
Executive for some time without success, fell
to the idea Of roaming to the waters edge and
sitting close to the Presidents clothes and
would not move until Mr.. Adams consented to
see her at the White House. Perhaps after this
the President hung his clothes on q hickory
limb where no one but the Crews could find
them.
When the votes Of the election Of 1928 were
counted it was found that Andrew Jackson had
more than enough to put him In the White
House. and naturally Mr. Adams who was a
candidate for reelection, did not appreciate
being defeated. Gen. Jackson also felt sore at
the President for remarks he attributed to him
. and for that reason did not call at the White
House, although he was in the city two weeks
before the Inauguration took place. Hence the
retiring President did not take part in the
ceremonies arranged for his successor. but took
up his residence at the home built BY Commo-

Grassh%per Real Menace

If Spring weather turns out to be damp and
chilly in the grain States the farmers will
smile. with the smile increasing as the damp
ness increases, for weather of this type will be
highly beneficial in putting down the grass
hopper menace, which Is still great. If condi-
tions favorable to their growth during the
Matching season exists.
More than 5,50o,00o acres in eight grain
States are heavily infested with the eggs OF
the hopper, and from this tremendous poten-
tial source myriads of the insects will hatch
and play havoc this Spring unless the weather
turns fatally cold and wet. Not only does
weather of this sort harm the hoppers in itself.
but it is especially adapted to the parasites
which tend to keep the hoppers in control.
Should the weather turn of warm and dry
during the Matching season. only one course
win be open to the grain farmers and that is
IN TIE spreading of poisoned bran bats. THIS
method is usually affective In keeping the hop
pers under control but It demands . consider
able expenditure Of time and money to lay the
traps for the insects.

Of March 3, and did not remain to interview the

Mr.. Adams was in politics to stay, and two
years later the "Old Man Eloquent" as he has
been called, took his seat in the House of Rep
reSentativeS where he remained until his death
on February %, 1913, which followed his tragic
collapse Of two days before. An account Of
his death and the circumstances surrounding
it. published in The Star Of June II, 1881,
follows:
"On the morning of the 21st Of February,
1848, the venerable John Quincy Adams took
his seat in the House of Representatives for the
last time. He attended the Sunday service in
the hall on the day previous, and was appar-
emily in better health than usual on the fol-
lowing morning. Soon after taking his seat
he proceeded to sign his name to poetical
address to the Muse of History marble
statue over the front door of the hall, which
he had previously copied for one of the officers
OF the House. He was then observed to listen
attentiveiy to speech from John L. Taylor, q
Representative from Ohio, whose seat was near
his own. While Mr.. Taylor was speaking the
House was suddenly startled by the cry. 'Mr.
Adams Is dying! The venerable statesman
had been stricken with paralysis. and was
gradually sinking from his chair to the floor.
He had fallen at his post with spear N hand
and harness on his back 1t was q solemn
and a thrilling scene. The members of the
House, by common impulse, and in state
of great excitement, left their seats and rushed
toward that Of the old man eloquent The
only one present who seemed to be self-pos-
sessed was Mr.. Winthrop, who remained in the
Speakers chair until the House adjourned on
a motion made at his own request. Mr.. Adams
was placed on q sofa and borne to the rQtunda
for fresh air. Many members of the House at
this time were educated physicians, and among
them was William A. Newell Of New Jersey,
who. while counting the pulse of the dying
man. saw him make an effort to speak Bend
ing over him his ear caught the words, This is
the last Of earth; am composed which were
the last he ever uttered As it was deemed
inadvisable to remove him to his own home, he
was carried to the room of the Speaker, where,
on the evening Of the 23d of February, at Is
minutes past 7 O'Clock, he quietly expired, in
the presence Of the Massachusetts, delegation,
