Preparing for Inauguration.

In just a few days the vanguard Of
the Capitals guests for the inauguration
of President Roosevelt and Vice Presi-
dent Garner will be arriving in the city
The time is short in which to complete
preparations for their entertainment.
But every Washingtonian will wish to
co his part to make pleasant the visit
Of those who come TO witness the in
duction of the new executive chiefs, and
it follows that all that properly may be
done In anticipation of March should
be done promptly
Washington belongs to the whole Ma
ton, and every citizen has the right to
feel that he is welcome In the Federal
seat of Government. Any other view
would be contradictory Of the spirit Of
democracy which In theory and largely
in fact permeates American institutions
and American concepts of the relation
of the people to the state. The throngs
that will journey to the Capital next
week will in effect be coming home
Nothing that could interfere with that
sentiment should be tolerated The
city's guests should be enthusiastically
received and generously accorded every
courtesy suited to the occasion.
But Washington also belongs to the
people who constitute its permanent
population, the people who live within
the boundaries OF the District of Co.
lumbia not merely through one admin
istration or another, but through long
periods Of years, the people who have
no other home. And it will not be re-
sented If the visitors are made ac-
quainted with the elemental problems
which are the special concern Of the
nearly five hundred thousand inhabi-
tants Of the city who are unrepre-
sented in the councils of the Nation
Many Of the strangers will be ignorant
of the aspiration Of Washington for a
voice and vote in the affairs of the
country they love and serve as fully a.
do their neighbors. To these the cam
paign for national representation should
be explained. Their hosts need have
no hesitancy In the matter.
The Inauguration festivities should
result in new ties, new bonds of under
standing and sympathy, between all
who participate In them. The people of
the city and the people Of the coun-
try should know each other better at
their close. That, OF course, is "a con-
summation devoutly to be wished" 1t
also is definite goal to be borne in
mind by all concerned. And now is the
time to make psychological preparation
as well as more material provision for
the event.

able degree of frankness. Whereas
last Fall President Hoover spoke as one
who saw only the problems of the
United States, he spoke Monday night

gests the Louisville Courier journal,

exclusiveness, and returns to the broad
view of international problems and in

means to end it; still denouncing trade
barriers. but using deprecated curren-

Japan Quits the League.

What further consequences OF an

result cannot be foreseen. That Japan's
military program is not Immediately to

Jehol The League of Nations, on its
part, will continue the policy of patience
which has 50 commercially character

the condemnatory report, the Assembly
by acclamation established an Advisory
Committee authorized to invite the
United States and Russia to cooperate
with it In concerting world action be-
hind the report and in following up Far
Eastern developments.
Thus Japan gets a further respite
an additional period in which to weigh

reflective action in the event Japan
persists In ignoring the Leagues con-

Japan submit her unquestionable rights

Zurlo's scheme, as We have intimat-

agriculture and farm work He would
examine the growing crops and suggest
methods both to increase and improve
them, and in this respect, at least,
his self-styled authority was no mis-
nomer. In every case. however, he
took away with him, allegedly for the
information Of his superiors, supplies
OF fresh vegetables fruits and even
grain, besides copious cargoes, though
ne termed them merely samples, OF
butter and eggs. He was also willing,
Tor trivial amount, to write insur-
ance against storms, fire and blight in

tanned any of these calamities. Un-

1t isn't the cat which keeps the birds

This is proved by the fact that home

never have any trouble in attracting
the birds.
The birds come there because it looks

Indeed, strictly urban sections often

His kindly and gentle enthusiasns were
contagious, and those who we're favored
with intimate acquaintance with him
found their lives enriched by their ex-
perience. He cared for things that the
crowd more or less consistently ignored

dens, old books, cid pictures, old ideals.
He found pleasure in seeking out the
neglected and forgotten relics of Colonial
times. languishing In unmapped lanes
and byways of Maryland and Virginia,
skstching and photographing his dis
coveries and studying them with a
genius Of appreciation all his own. But
he was incapable of keeping his zeal
and happiness to himself. 1t was a
natural instinct In him to wish to share
with others the fruits Of his travels
and researches. To work with him was
. privilege. to study with him precious
cultural opportunity.
In the employ Of the District Govern
ment he built himself into the archi-
tectural history of Washington. The
difnculties Of his position were many,
but he surmounted them again and
again. He visioned the municipal struc-
lures Of the Capital as supplementary
to the great Federal program Of con-
struction, and was conscious Of the ne
cessity that schools, libraries, fire and
police stations must be designed in q
minor harmony with the monumental
edificcS sponsored by the National Gov
ernment. Obviously, it was infeasible
to compete with the classic conceptions
Of the Federal plan. But on the other
hand 1t was equally clear that mere
barrenness. however inexpensive. was
not suitable. Mr.. Harris found the So

A. The Bureau OF Standards says SO

dency to burn the inside of the bowl

essential that the pipe be allowed to

@. Our postmaster refused to take
IS pennies IN payment for stamps. Was
he within his rights?-D. H.
A. The Post ONCE Department says
that the refusal OF the postmaster TO
take more than 25 pennies at one time
fer stamps is based on Section l47 of
the Postal Laws and Regulations, which
states that Minor coins Is and ! cent

1t can easily be seen that counting
small coins in large amounts would
create quite delay in the performance

O.. Is sea sled flat-bottomed and

mitted.
Q. Which is produced first, thunder
or lightning?-M B. w.
A. Lightning is an abrupt electric
discharge of great magnitude through
the air. 1t produces thunder by sud-
denly heating the air along its path to
very high temperature, and thereby
causing it TO expand In an explosive
manner. 1t can be seen, therefore,
that thunder follows lightning imme-
diately. Light travels much more rap
idly than sound, so reaches the observer
some time before thunder is heard.
