efforts have more recently injected
another complicating element, wherein
the lump sum is reduced on grounds
of national economy and local appro-
priations are reduced because they are
handled by the Budget Bureau as q
part Of the national budget. The result
Is that local revenues become surpluses

Joint Sessions on D. c. Matters.

Both Senator King and Representa-
tive Mary Norton are in favor Of joint
consideration by their legislative COM
mittees, of the problem of fiscal relations
and allied subjects. In yesterdays Star
Senator Thomas. chairman of the Sen
ate Subcommittee on District Ap-
preparations, was reported as favoring
a joint meeting with the House Sub
committee on District Appropriations to
discuss abandonment Of the lump sum.
He proposes to write to Chairman Can
non suggesting that the matter be taken
up at the coming session.
The District and members Of Con-
eress would benefit by such an approach

Prevent Horrors
OF Earthquakes
From the Pasadena Star.News.

rlom tne taSaoena Star.NewS.
The destructive earthquakes in South
ern California last March aroused the
people Of California to the potential
peril that hangs over all parts of this
State from earthquake shocks. This
well grounded alarm was reflected in
the concern that the California Legis-
lature showed over the hazards Of
earthquake. Immediately after the
disaster in the southland stringent re-
Quirements were provided by statute to
make buildings nearly proof against
earthauake ea us shocks as possible Especial A
school buildings Of the State. All
realize, with horror, what unspeakable
tragedies there would have been in the
earthquake area in Southern California
last March had the shock come during
school hours, with children in the
schoolsl It was only the providence of
God that saved the lives of hundreds, If
not thousands, Of children in that
catastrophe.
/. There should be no hesitancy here or
anywhere in California In making school
buildings as safe as possible against
earthuuake shock. The cost of such
safeguard should not stand in the way
one moment-that is, the actual, busi-
nesslike cost. There should be no
extravaganza or waste of public moneys
in this, of course. But there should be
no dallying-there should be no gam
bling with the lives Of precious children.

Not Matter {

Father Brown, the philosophical cure
Of souls invented and chronicled by Gil
bert Chesterton, surely is one of the
most attractive perennials Of current
fiction. Thousands love him. His Gre
ator has made him a place in the hearts
Of a multitude Of readers, and he has
no rival unless 1t be Ephraim Tut. the
old lawyer designed by Arthur Train.
But there are occasions when Mr.
Chesterton prompts Father Brown to
sponsor nonsense. For example, in the
story "The Quick One" as presented
in a current periodical. the good
priest is supposed to say. THE masters
Of the modern world don't matter. :.
Hardly anybody you ever read about in
a newspaper matters at ALL"
Perhaps it would be pleasant II there
were an element Of truth in the pro-
nouncement; perhaps it would be better
for the human race if the masters"
did not matter But the earth IS not
yet a Utopia, universal nihilism does
rot as yet prevail. In sober fact the
individuals whose actions and opinions
I'LL the press do matter Mr.. Chester
ton must have been smiling up his
sleeve when he put such a perverse
doctrine into the mouth of his philos-
opher.
Mussolini, for instance, has altered
Italy to degree beyond all expecta-
ton. Lenin, a vagabond exile. died
the architect of new Russia. The
former Kaiser is immortal for the
metamorphosis he worked in Europe
at large. Kemal Pasha has shaken
The list Of masters" who have led
or driven mankind these past three
or four decades might be prolonged
indefinitely.
Indeed, it is the business of states
men to be important. And the same
might be said Of writing men. Bernard
Shaw might be cited. Does Mr.. Ches-
terton imagine that he does not mat
ter? If so, Mr.. Shaw may be counted
upon to disabuse his mind of its error
And Mr.. Chesterton himself; what Of
him? Has he welded his pen for
forty years in vain? His admirers
contradict such a notion. Why. even
Father Brown matters!
And Mr.. Chesterton finally comedies
the point when he declares: I'VE
matter to God" 1t follows that crea-
lures who are Of consequence to the
Deity are of consequence to each
other, if only because of their being
made in His likeness. Everybody mat
ters. That explains the fascination OF
the newspapers as daily annals OF life,
the fascination Of life itself to the
living.

High Lights on the Wide World
Excerpts From Newspapers of Other Lands

caster, in a sermon at the Doncaster
Parish Church yesterday. He said that
in the old days for women to appear in
public unveiled would be to create a
wrong impression. Today a hatless girl
would not be regarded as a brazen
hussy or woman of loose morals, and
so If they were not shocked at seeing
girls without hats in the streets there
was no reason why they should be
shocked at seeing them in church with
out hats.
Present-day fashions in the matter of
clothing seemed to him to be essentially
sensible. healthy and good to look upon.
OF course, there were always silly, vul-
gar and indelicate people who carried
fashion to excess simply to call atten-
ton to themselves. There was no spe-
cial form Of dress peculiarly appropriate
to churchgoing.
He rejoiced in the fact that no longer
did they think it necessary to dress up
to 60 to church, and that it was impos-
sible to worship God except with the
accompaniment of a top hat and tail
coat or a smart dress. Thank good
ness there were no longer those church
parades. and that no longer did people
come to church to show off their best
clothes!
"This dressing up for church has
done incalculable harm and has tended
to keep away from the churches poor
people who quite genuinely wanted to
come. but who stayed away simply be-
cause they felt their clothes were not
good enough, or that their ordinary
work-a-day clothes were not suitable.
am always glad to see people come
wearing the clothes they are going to
wear whether walking, cycling or hik-
ing, and in the country places every
announcement should be given to them
to attend the churches. If the girls are
without their hats it would be wrong to
turn them away and just silly to make
them put something on their heads be-
fore going in"

One month to- Christmas.

And two to Spring!
Not every gardener realizes that his
favorite outdoor recreation Is 50 close.
As November comes to an end, and

There Is q great deal, that can be
done in the home garden in February.
For one thing, it is one Of the
very best times OF the year to prune
rosebushes, provided there is no freeze

Grass seed may be put in as early as

Of activity, many will think, crowded
beyond the average, perhaps, In certain
ways.
There still is plenty of time for clean
ing up the garden, doing the small
chores which vet remain to be done.
Maybe the leaves lie in close forma-
tions along the sides Of the garage,
where winds have blown them. SEEM

AS they lie, they make fine hiding
places for garden snails and the hiber-
mating forms of many other creatures.
It is good thing to gather them up
and get rid Of them in one of the vari-
Gus ways open to the home gardener.
The burning of leaves seems to be a
real treat to many at this season. Per-
haps they revel in the sight of the
flames, or the acrid smell of the smoke.
Other gardeners dislike the odor Of
burning leaves, and will prefer to get
rid of them by turning them over to the
trash man. There is still a third method
that Of composing them with lime and
earth in some out-of-the-way spot.

again the island Is to rate as a crown

episode without parallel in empire his

The national parliament is to be sus-

Public Wcrlz7 and Local Benefits.

WnSQ the OlSCrlCC asks IOT an allOC-
ment of funds from the Public Works
Administration for the construction Of
the first unit of its Municipal Center
for which the site has been bought and
prepared by clearance, it Is not seeking
the benefit Of expenditures for itself. as
; means Of relieving distress through
employnE-at and the stimulation of in
dustry. It needs the ssE5ing for its
municipal administration. 1t would OILY
slightly gain in employment through
the spending OF the money, fully eighty
per cent of the cost of the construction
going to industries and workers in the
States.
This is the prevailing rule respecting
public works in the District. Il the
case Of every one of the large construc-
tions here, in development of the Gov
ernment's building project. the bulk OF
the cost has gone to workers elsewhere
and the District has Immediately gained
but little. A specific example is fur
nisned by the building now approaching
completion for occupancy by the Post
off,e and Labor Departments and, as
originally allocated, the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
The total cost OF this building has
been estimated at s21 100000. OF this
amount, it is computed, only $4,000, 900
or fraction over fourteen and a quar-
ter per cent, will have been spent
actually in the District of Columbia on
the completion Of the structure. The
remainder will have been disbursed to
industries and workers In twenty-seven
States, save 100000 spent in trans
portation of materials, the benefits Of
which will go to numerous railway lines
in all parts Of the country.
Taking another example, the new
House Of Representatives Office Building
cost approximately $5,975,000. OF that
sum about eighty-five per cent was spent
for labor and materials and transporta.
tion outside of the District, ard fifteen
per cent only in the District, mainly ir
labor, much of which came. in fact
from nearby States.
In the case of any large construc.
ton anywhere in this country the cos'
Is spread over a wide area owing tt
the fact that at no point is it possible
to obtain materials wholly from loca
sources. 1t is especially true IN the
District of Columbia. which has nc
stone quarrieS, no steel mills, no fac
tories for the making of the great mas
of materials that enter into the fabrica-
ton of large building. The District.
contribution to any great structure is
outside of labor, an infinitesimal frac.
ton of the whole. Indeed. in the case
of the two buildings mentioned no sin.
gle item of material Of local origin is to
!, be found in the analysis of structure
elements.
In respect to the stimulation of EN-.
ployment and industry through con-
struction works, building erected in the
District is as helpful on national scale
as one erected in Minneapolis or Louis
Vile, Boston or San Antonio. The test
of the matter in selecting projects fol
inclusion In this allotment of emergency
funds is that Of need. Is the construc.
ton required? In the case Of the Dis
trict's Municipal Center there is nc
doubt on this score. The building i
urgently needed.

Dedication OF Bells
Held I'm in France.

LIE Soir. Brussels.-In the hamlet Of
Sin-le-Noble, Department Nord, in
France, the cure, M. Jules Boumanne.
was engaged in restoring the bells OF
the parish church, which had been car
ried of and probably melted up BY the
invader during the war. The new bells
were ready to be dedicated, and the date
and record Of this ceremony was about
to- be engraved upon them, when the
autocratic Town Council objected. It
was cited by this body that, according
to French law, neither the casting nor
the hanging of the bells could properly
be made the occasion of any clerical
formantieS or similar rites and that no
religious inscriptions or emblems should
appear on the bells. M. Jules Boumanne
appealed to the prefect Of the depart
ment, who upheld the municipal council.
The cure then appealed to the Council
of State. The pleading of Maitre Jean
Rouvere, presenting the case l0r M.
Boumanne, resulted in voiding the de
Council and in the invoking of the
dispositions of the law Of 1907 by which
freedom of worship was restored to all
religious bodies in France, and particu-
larIy to the companies Of the fatthfu
The State Council also directed that M.
Boumanne be repaid by the Town Coun..
ell for the 18 or 20 francs he disbursed
for the revenue stamps to attach TO ms
final appeal.
For some unknown reason church
bells have long been in disfavor with
the councilmen in the smaller towns.
Whether or not these individuals are
generally lacking in religious feeling,
or merely champions Of the new vogue
which seeks to minimize sound vibra-
tions of afl kinds not strictly necessary
to the daily pursuit Of life and affairs:
is unknown. Whether the Ginning OF
church bells should not be excepted
from category of unnecessary discords
and perturbations is q matter wncn
may well be determined in the affirm-
alive. Prior to the incident, for ex-
ample, of the Town Council at Mont
Notre- Dame gave rather reluctant as
sent to the engraving upon three new
bells replacing others lost In the war
