matters. There may be some force in the
suggestion that the Archives Building,
now reaching its final form, will be the
most effective climax Of the architec-
tural set-up for the triangle at the
eastern end. On the other hand, the
chairman Of the Commission of Fine
Arts says the buildings to be located
in the triangle were SO designed as to
carry out the most effective architec-
tural scheme for such group, thus
determining the matter in advance Of
the construction of any of the units.
1t will be lamentable waste of time
and time that is of particular value
in view of the fact that construction
costs are lower now than they will
probably be for a generation to come
and the further fact that the execution
Of public works is urgently needed
now as a means Of economic recovery
to permit this question of taste to
delay the making of an appropriation or
the ALLEGATION Of special funds for this

Future of Marginal Lands.

From the Santa Monica Outlook
The Government is embarking on
new enterprise of great magnitude that
promises to have far-reaching functions
and benefits to the public.
Two million acres of Submarginal
lands in ten districts in Midwestern and
Southern States have been definitely set
aside for experimental work under the
soil erosion section of the Interior De-
partment. The prevention of erosion
and the planting of soil-improving crops
will be leading activities Large areas
Of grazing land will be substituted for
poor land on which farming has been
Improbable and resulted in poverty,
debt and destitution.
II this first enterprise Is successful, 1t
Is estimated that nearly IS, ,000, 900 acres,
which will be taken out of production
next year and in 1885, may eventually
come under the same method and be
used in non-competing soil protecting
crops, such as grass. The districts on
the Pacific Coast and in the Southwest
include one in the Palouse section near
Pullman, Wash, and large one in the
Navajo Reservation which includes land
in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. No
district has yet been named in Cali
fornia.
Some may regard this Government
enterprise as of little value. 1t will not
produce any considerable revenue or be
-iquidating, but If these submarginal
lands are to be retired from active cul-
tivatiOn, it Is the part of wisdom for
the Government to provide that they
shall not become waste but shall per-
form some valuable function in the
economy of the Nation.

Toy Time Again.

At the present season of the year
there comes the moment when fathers
and mothers, uncles and aunts, begin
to think about toys. Those who wisely
make 1t practice to keep the channels
of their hearts open to love and SYM
pathy take down from their library
shelves the immortal Christmas Carol"
Of Charles Dickens and reread the story
Of the miser Scrooge, Bob Cratchit
and Che little crippled boy who SYM
bolizes all the children of the world in
his role OF Tiny Tim. Like the sassa-
fras tea of their own first youth, they
administer the fable as a medicine,
corrective against physical and mental
selfstness, and it serves the purpose
effectively. No living creature with a
spark of humanity in his system can be
immune to the appeal phrased by the
gentle art CT the great Victorian novelist.
And there are those, too. who have
learned the value of an annual re-
vival of interest in Eugene Fields bal
lad, Little Boy Blue" As the final
month declines toward its close and
Winter threatens, they open the doors
of their souls to the warmth of devoted
affection which the poet manifests in
his unforgettable picture of the play
things Of the little lost lad who was
wakened by angel song. If Field had
written nothing else, fame none the less
would have been his for the lines, sim
pie and homely and unpretending,
which tell of the patient lead soldier
and dusty toy dog awaiting the touch
of the little hand"
Still another perennial of December
is Ouida's Dog Of Flanders" Once
read, it draws the sensitive mind back
to repeated communion with the tragedy
Of the gifted but misunderstood and
neglected child who was to die to see
Rubens' Descent From the Cross" in
Antwerp Cathedral, and to be found
frozen there at the altar, with his brute
companion faithful to the end. The
story defies dry-eyed perusal. It was
written to prompt tears, and it achieves
its goal.
1t is Christmas story and toy time,
The oldsters know it's meaning. and the
youngsters will grow up to understand
it quite as truly. The Star meanwhile,
sponsors an enterprise which affords a
practical opportunity for the expression
of the seasons spirit. In cooperation
with the Warner Theaters of the city, it
will have its third annual Christmas
Toy Matinee on Saturday morning. The
price Of admission is toy-a new toy
of any Of the thousand different kinds
that real children love. 1t is hoped that
twenty thousand gifts may be gathered
IN this way for the enrichment of the
Christmas Of the little people of the
Capital who otherwise might be over
looked. Surely, the effort will be blessed
with abundant success.

Their Comeback.
m the Portland OREGON Journal.

From the Portland Oregon Journal.
The same spirit that motivated the
pioneer and caused him to convert ap-
parent failure into success lives in the
hearts ard minds Of group of orchard
lists in Benton County, near Monroe,
Oregon.
Faced with what looked like failure
in their lifetime venture. due to change
In the public taste for apples. the group
Of men in the Oregon Apple Co. de-
termined to give the public what 1t
wanted.
Instead of digging up their $50 acres
Of apples because the market for most
of the varieties had become poor, they
top-grafted the trees, and this year
they are harvesting beautiful crop OF
yellow Newtowns, Ortleys, Red De-
llcious and Red Gravensteins. Among
the varieties eliminated were Spitzen
bergs, King Davis, Northern Spys ar
Grimes Golden-all good apples, b.:
not in popular demand
Not only have these men, living in
the valley of the Long Tom River
changed the variety. but they have
produced a wonderful apple-as to
both size and flavor. And the color
ngs also are exquisite. And In this
year, when SO many folks are COM

brand is in demand, with most Of the
pack already sold for export.
The project gives annual employment
to over a dozen families, and seasonal
employment to about so. Pay roll
during the harvest season approximates
81 500 a month. The orchard is one
of the largest enterprises in Benton
County and is operated by the Oregon
Apple Co. And what Is more. is the
important statement that more chill
dren from Benton County have received
an education from the earnings Of this
orchard than from any similar project
in the State.
Here was an organization threatened
with failure. Several varieties in the
orchard had lost caste with the public.
But the owners didn't despair They
didn't decry their bad luck In having
filled their orchard with unpopular
varieties. Full Of the spirit Of the
Oregon pioneer, they top-grafted their
trees with varieties Of apples that ths
public wants.

Foot Ball Less Dangerous.
From the Newark Evening News.

From the Newark Evening News.
The returns are in and foot ball ap-
parently is becoming less of menace
to life. Twenty-six young men died
this year from causes directly due to
the game and 10 more through indirect
causes. The grim total was not so great
as last year or the year before. Not q
college varsity player died from injuries
this year. Five freshmen succumbed, Of
whom two gave their lives directly.
There were so deaths from foot ball
two years ago and SO last year.
Twenty-six deaths directly attribu-
table to the game are bad enough, GER
tainly, but at least they are growing
fewer. New rules and new safeguards
for players are beginning to show re-
suits. No one can estimate with any
authority how many boys and girls
there was one girl in the death list for
the year, in a neighborhood group en-
gagged in supervised and unsupervised
play, but the number was in the mil
lions. As rule the deaths we're due to
lack of knowledge Of how to protect the
players from harm, rather than any
danger inherent in the game.
There Is still much to do, Of course.
Any young life Is too high price to
pay. But changes in the rules to make
foot ball less dangerous are bearing
fruit Certainly the game is more en-
tertaining to watch than in the old days
Of mass plays and concealed roughness.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

The worries of youth are long, long
worries. This column received q, letter
the other day from a young man who
wanted to know why people rushed
him." he said, and then suddenly
dropped him.
He believed it was entirely his own
fault, but the chances are thousand
to one that he was wrong about that.
Where human beings are concerned there
is never anything quite SO one-sided.
His problem is one typical of young
people who are at the very self-con-
scious age. Only out Of an intense in
trospection does one ever arrive at
better understanding OF ones own COM
paratively small place in great worlo.
Undoubtedly there are many persons
who are rushed" as the saying as, and
who some time thereafter find their very
warm friends cooling of toward them.
The first instinct Of such person IS
TO believe it entirely his own fault. There
must be something lacking in himself,
he believes. which permits the ardor OF
ent extent.
Time. we believe, will show him that
part of the fault, If fault it Is, definitely
lies on the other side.
It is enheartening to discover, after q
lapse of years, that where two persons
are concerned, the blame for anything
cannot be wholly on one side.
It will be found in most such cases
that persons who are addicted TO
"crushes," as the young folks call .em,
generally read great deal into their
friends that is scarcely there.
When they find out the truth they
become angry at themselves, and SO
take it OUT on their friends!
That is the plain truth. we believe, OF
a serious and sometimes very painful
matter.
Enthusiasts commonly expect too
much of those whom they dignity with
their precious friendship.
No one, not even genius, could live
up to what they expect of him.
Hence, failure is imperative.
But the very seal of approval which
their lordly attention has placed upon
estimation, to live up to expectations.
Great Expectations" is more than the
title of one Of Dickens best and most
unusual stories.
1t is rule of life.
II
All Of us should be thankful for those
who have great expectations of us.
At times, however, such faith becomes
a burden.
1t is harmful when 1t is not based on
facts. but solely on personal beliefs and
their resulting enthuSiaSmS.
No doubt enthusiasm has much to its
credit. No doubt many man, under
a stimulus Of blind admiration, has gone
ahead to victory.
Such happenings are exceptions, one
may think-the great executions which
make good short stories and novels.
The trouble with short stories and
novels, most of us feel, is that such
things never happen to usl
For which, let us add, we should be
devoutly thankful, and, in our saner,
calmer moments, we are. Who would
care to live so eventually?
The enthusiasms which catch up with
and overwhelm the book people leave
the great bulk of human beings severely
alone.
The enthusiasms which cause heart
ache to our young friend mostly result
from expectations which are not real
