Washington Excursion

One of the most outstanding spring
floral events is the annual poisoning
of the famed Japanese cherry trees at
Washington, D. c., which will take
place by April Is and continue for
several weeks.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
will operate, especially for this &C.
casion, a low rate excursion from
West Virginia and Western Maryland
points to Washington, D. c. Trains
will depart from local communities at
specified times on Saturday, April Is,
in order to allow for practically the
entire Sunday to be spent in the
Capital City, leaving for the return
trip on the evening of that day. This
arrangement also permits of full OPP
portunity to take in the many unusual
sights of the National Capital, which
attracts visitors from all sections of
the country, but with the added at
traction of the Japanese cherry trees
there will undoubtedly be, large
number who will take advantage of
the excursion.
The Japanese cherry trees, which
were presented by the City of Tokyo
as an expression of goodwill and
friendship from one capital city to
another, never fail to arouse admira-
ton and wonder as they burst into
bloom, with the millions of pink ID
white blossoms transforming the
picturesque water-side drives of
Washington's Potomac Park into a
scene of oriental beauty and splendor.
1t is a sight worth coming to see
year after year.
In view of the interest which the ex-
cursion has created, arrangements are
being made to provide ample train
equipment, but to insure everyone
being comfortably accommodated the
railroad representatives have request
ed that all those who will make the
trip purchase their tickets in advance
if possible.

1t is not definitely known who wrote
the Book of Samuel. This last great
Judge of Israel may have been the
author.
Whoever may be responsible for its
authorship, the history it records
marks sharp transition in the gov
eminent of the chosen people. Hith-
erto their political condition was much
like that of the thirteen colonies be-
fore the adoption of the Articles of
Confederation, and later the Constitu.
ton. They were, as Benjamin Frank
lin sagely remarked, like a barrel
made of slaves but without a hoop to
hold them together.
The history covers the life of Sam
uel, and deals with the organization
of the Kingdom, the reign of Saul and
in the first book, David's early life.
UP to this time Israel had been
twelve independent states, with no I'M
flying principle except their religion,
which was taken none too seriously by
the rank and file of the people. They
had attained no great national devel.
opment. To survive in a predatory
work it was necessary that a nation
be fairly strong: so, after the appar-
ent failures of the Theocracy, be-
cause of the continued disobedience
of the people, God permitted His ma
ton to unity like other nations, under
a King. However, they were duly
warned of what this would mean, of
how much of personal liberty would
have to be surrendered under the new
system. Yet when they urged; "Give
us King like other nations" their
request was granted, even though it
meant their hurt rather than fuller
blessing.
The history of this period centers
around three characters: Samuel, the
last of the Judges; Saul, the first King
of Israel; David, Israels most versa
tile, and in many respects, noblest
King. This is a period of transition.
The rules of the Judges end, the
Kingdom begins and is established.
Among the leading topics and
events in this book are the birth and
dedication of Samuel. Samuel was
well-born. His parents were cody
people who returned to their city, as
ancient custom demanded, for their
yearly sacrifice to Jehovah.
While praying at Shiloh that a son
might be given to her, Hannah was ac-
cused of drunkenness by Eli the
priest, who, upon discovering his mis-
take, bads her go in peace and added
his own petition that the God OF Israel
might grant her request.
A child came to bless the home OF
Hannah and Elkanah, and according
to his prenatal dedication, Hannah
presented him unto the Lord at Shiloh
as soon as he had been weaned. There
he was brought up in the Temple by
Eli, and there the Lord spoke to his
childish heart, calling him even be-
fore the years of accountability to
exercise the office of Prophet.
Other events of this Book that are
outstanding are: The capture and
return of the Ark of the Covenant, the
1ofe.+ of the Philistines through the
prayer of Samuel, and the amounting
of David to be King.
Chapter II tells the dramatic story
of David's conflict with Goliath OF
Gath, a vindication of the God of Is
rael, and a victory which broke the
Philistines' morale, paving the way
for David's ultimate triumph over all
the enemies of Israel.

D. c. RETAIL SALES
OFF 8PCT. IN MAY
Business Ahead of April, but
Below Like 1882 Period,
Bank Report Says.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Sales in Washington department
stores in May were 81 per cent lower
than in May, 1892, according to the
monthly retail business comparisons
made public by the Federal Reserve
Bank of Richmond today. The May
showing reveals marked improvement
over average business for the first five
months of the year when sales were 16
per cent under the figure for the like
period year ago.
Department store sales in the fifth
Federal Reserve district in May, 1888,
averaged per cent less than sales in
May, 1882, exactly the same figure
shown for April in comparison with
April last year, but the May record
was really better than April's because
sales in the earlier month were in
creased by the occurrence of Easter
during that month. However, the
fifth district in May did not compare
as favorably with other districts and
the national average as in other re-
cent months.
The mcst improvement in May in
the district occurred in the Caroinas
and in Richmond Fifty stores reported
for May, of which Is sold more in
dollars than in May last year. In
cumulative sales since January l, the
fifth district tied for the second best
record, decreasing this year by 16 per
cent.

vidual percentages for cities in which
three or more stores reported for May

Dying Commerce

International trade is dying Appalling figures are given by the National Confer ence Board. distinterested and dependable group of American economic experts. The world has been losing trade at the rate of $10,000,000,000 year or more for sev- eral years. Commerce between countries declined from nearly $53.000.000.000 in 1929 to $42,O00,000 1000 in 1930, $50, 500.000.000 in 1891 and $20 000000, 900 last year. Here is loss of nearly $33,000.000,00 or 62 per cent, in three years.
 Unless conditions change quickly sim liar loss is to be expected this year. Then world commerce will have dropped in four years from 3,000,000,000 to S10,- 000.000.000. Another year of this down. ward curve would bring it to zero. ln- ternational trade would be absolutely dead. The ships of the world would rust and rot at anchor. There would be no trade then except internal trade. And 1t would be far more seriously reduced than it is now. in every country. For domestic trade IS vitalized by foreign trade. Railroads would rust. Factories would rust. Unemployed millions would eat up the dwndllng wealth of past prosperity.
 This IS no merely fanciful picture of horror To such pass. it is proved by solid facts and figures, have the nations come by their suicidal trade policies. every nation trying to sell without buying, try ing to make commerce a one-way thor oughfare. There are many causes of the universal trade decline. But economists are more and more agreed that 1t is primarily the effect of trade wars. We have all reared trade barriers higher and higher in sincere but mistaken efforts at self-protection.
 This is the effect of narrowing busi- ness nationalism, mistaken popular patriot ism, jingo economics. With tariffs, em- bargoes boycotts, trade quotas, licenses and other impediments to international busl- ness. we have been choking the lives out of each other. All the nations have shared in this folly. We have been. perhaps. more foolish than others, because we have tried to collect huge debts from them in money while refusing their goods, with which alone they could pay.
 Can all the other means of business re- vival together bring us and the world out of this depression. if we all continue stlfling trade? Probably not. Rich nations grow rich by making things for each other and exchanging them. This has always been true. Itsis truer than ever in an industrial age. The more industrial progress, the more need of foreign markets. Fortunately the world at last begins to see this. And happily for us, who have SO much at stake. we are now about about ready to do some thing about 1t.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-04-15

would naturally benefit. One of the pro- ponents was Charles E. 'Shang' Wheeler of Stratford. former head of the state board of fisheries and game. He declared that thIs was the only means whereby farmers might be induced to engage in the raising of game birds in Connecticut. If they see some profit in it naturally they will engage in it.
 On the other hand the state could have pointed out that if these shooting areas are created there will be tendency for most of the animals and the game birds of the state to gravitate towards them. Once an area is created, it's owners will not spare any effort to get the birds or animals with in. Food and shelter will be provided in abundance. It will require some steady hunt ing to destroy this idyllic paradise. And. too, the choicest sections of the state, where game now tuns unmolested will be bought up and made into private hunting grounds, thus depriving the ordinary hunter of many hours of sport. The only hunting preserves that should exist in state as small as Con- neeticuts should be public. We don't object to fish or game clubs buying up tracts. but we do to the above scheme.

"The splendid gift of 1000 Japanese cherry trees by two residents of this city affords a wonderful opportunity to improve Rocky Ridge. at present almost entirely without any trees or ornamental planting. =" That is part of a statement made by Harfords superintendent of parks this week. We can't think of any better way for citizen to show his affection for his home town than to remember it in this fashion. Many of Watcrbury's philanthropic citizens have done the equivalent by ceding acres of land for park purpose. They have even contributed money for their identification. But there are many more citizens who might want to do something for the old home town. yet lack the initiative or don't know what to offer. We can only point to the above gift of 1000 Japanese cherry trees as an example of the way in which city can be visibly improved.

RANCHERS' SLANG
(New York Sun)

The old lingo of Texas corral and COW camp is Q vanishing American idiom, according to Pro- lessor Mary D. Buckner. In the quarterly American Speech she has compiled a glossary of some of the picturesque terms the Texas pan handlers use in their work and play and at the table. She laments their decline, which she believes Is hastened by the intermingling of natives and newcomers in the sec- ton and by the influence of col Iege-trained children of the older families.
 Some of the names attributed to the western ranch people nave long been familiar on the Atlantic coast however, and may survive Tn, the slang of New York. Hen fruit" for eggs is not a strange term to many customers; nor IS biscuit shooter" for cook. Moon shine Is given as the Texas name for rice. though 1t is found in Eng fish slang of 1900 as the term for a sauce. Sop" is gravy to Texas rancher, though "a sop in @ pan" was an old English term for a dainty. A western ranger may put on the rnorrhl when a New Yorker would put on the feed- bag" Few eastern slang terms, how ever, could surpass the Texans "calf slobbers' for the meringue on pie, and "wishbook" for mail order catalogue; but "brain tab lets" for cigarettes sounds affected beside terms which are of much older use in the COW camps of Texas.
