THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

have made the rut happily for himself
and Is glad to stay in 1t.
The diversity of which we speak Is not
a brainless flying from one thing to an
other, but solely q mental attitude to-
ward all things, in order that one may
pick out, in vast world, few Of the
things one does like, as distinguished
from what one does not like.
When one stops to consider the huge
number of persons vainly trying to ny
in the face of their own natures, and
selves right at it, one is forced to the
conclusion that the number Of those
who really know what they like, and do
it, is few.
Diversity of the right sort will insure
consideration of the necessity for a
change of pace, not a perpetual hurry
nor yet continual amble.
It will be noted that the fast
motioned person cannot slow down, in
many cases, whereas the slow-motioned
one can speed up" whenever he
wants to.
The latter has something in reserve.
you see, whereas the swift mover has
won't do that.
1t is against his principles!
He sees, as well as any, the lights
about to change, but he puts on all
speed, as if he were going to hurl him
self across the intersection whether
or no.
He Jams on the brakes, comes to
screaming halt, to find himself held up
for several irritating seconds, while he
watches the more placid motorist with
out endangering himself or any one
else, calmly move up to equality with
him.
The fast moving gentleman who "hits
'F up so speedily every morning when
he gets of his bus. undoubtedly arrives
at his Office few seconds and number
of feet ahead Of his unknown rival.
Yet almost invariably he has to wait
in the lobby for the elevator, during
which time the other gentleman slowly
ambles in, to be on exactly equal terms
! with him.
Each acts according to his nature
but somewhere along the line there is
another human factor which they
should take into consideration.
The slow-motion man considers the
elevator man, in this particular case.
but the other does not. He is In too
much of hurry.
briskly snaps down the block, leaving
his old tortoise companion far behind!
Surely" spectator might say. 'he
will beat that other fellow all hollow"
But when the elevator descends, and
the time comes to go up, the car bears
aloft two men, not one.
This scene has occurred so many
times that the ow-motioned gentle
man, who is much given to such con-
siderations, evidently having more time
for them, is wondering whether they
are not somewhat typical Of the So
called race Of life.
Truly. it Is not he who puffs and
blows, and who starts out like whirl
wind, who always takes the prize. The
race is not to the swift" said the
Preacher, long ago. The fable Of the
tortoise and the hare has been proved
under scientific auspices recently.
There is no particular gain in speed
under ordinary circumstances, nor
blame in slowness, unless purpose and
intent, and all other factors, are taken
into consideration. The ideal should be
neither speed nor slowness, for their
own sakes, but each when needed
under the guidance of the mind
Whether any human being ever at
tanned this ideal Is another question.

Joseph Urban.

Joseph Urban was man of authentic
genius. His gifts were exuberant. To
him ugliness was simply vacuum to
be filled by creative labor. He spent
the entirety Of his adult life in an
incessant campaign to replace with
beauty the crudities, the crassnesses and
the vulgarities he found about him.
The world gave him opportunities which
he appreciated and used to the full.
He designed houses, palaces, bridges,
theaters, private and public buildings
of every grand and noble sort. He illus
trated books for children, laid out
gardens, invented furniture, planned
,expositions. But it was as an architect
of stage settings, decorations and ccs-
tunes that he exerted his most COM
pelling influence. The modern theater
owes to him debt of monumental pro-
portions.
When he came to- the United States
in 1911 he was thirty-nine years cf age,
and had to his credit such achievements
as the interior OF the RathauS at Vienna,
his native city; the Cars Bridge over
the Neva at Leningrad, the Palace Of
the Khedive of Egypt, and the magntfi-
cent Schloss of Count Carl Esterhazy
near Pressburg, Hungary. Such tri-
umphs would have suficed for less
enthusiastic creator. But to Urban it
was just so much work completed. The
important thing was the work that was
waiting to be done. He approached each
task with the zeal of new passion, new
desire. A conception once formulated
he could not rest until it had been
finished, but by the day when that
point was reached he would be deep
in another plan. He served sovereigns
and states, municipalities, trade and in
dustrial organizations, schools and col

Cruelties to Dogs in
Midsummer Heat

To the Editor OF The Star:
May take little space In your val
liable columns to offer a suggestion in
connection with the care of dogs during
the hot weather. I am prompted to
do SO on account of the thoughtless-
ness, carelessness, or ignorance, which
ever way you may look at it, of the

have recently. especially during the
hot weather, observed pets shut up in
automobiles with little or no ventila-
ton while their owners were attending
to business calls or shopping in stores. A
little thoughtfulness will mean much,
as dog in closed automobile on a
hot day suffers intensely. owners should
not fail to let down the windows sew

self up in an automobile for five min
utes on hot day and you will realize
how your dog would suffer.
witnessed distressing incident at
Chapel Point one day last Summer. A
little Boston bull was left in a closed
auto while the owner went swimming
and the heat was terrific at the time.
The little fellow was frothing at the
mouth and barking vociferously as if
begging some one to take pity on him
and release him from his prison, or
lower the windows so he could breathe.
The car was locked and no relief could
be given without breaking the window,
which, Of course. no one would do. It
was an hour before the owner of the
car could be located and when he
reached the car and opened the door
the dog was dead. Just little COM

Consider the case of two men. one
SLOW walking. the other fast-walking.
They come down in the same public
vehicle every morning and get of at
the same stop.
They walk to the same building.
Not being acquainted. the two pursue
their even way to their place Of en-
ployment alone.
The fast-motioned one walks fast
slow-motioned goes SLOW
The strange thing is that no matter
how far ahead the first fellow gets, the
second one always manages to ride up
in the same elevator, because the first
always has to wait for it.
One may wonder how often these
fast-motioned persons merely seem to
be getting there more swiftly, II they
do anything better, or really more
quickly, but only seem to.
Every one has seen the impatient
motorist fairly hurtle along a block
only to stop up short at the red light
to wall there until the more leisurely
driver arrives just in time to cross over
on the green.
Perhaps it Is more or less that way
IN what is SO magnificently called real
life, as II all life weren't real enough.
1t may turn out that in by far the
majority of cases the apparently slow
person gets there" just as we'll and
quite as definitely as the nervous
quick-stepping individual.
One advantage of fast physical mo-
ton is that the person who INDUCES
in 1t undoubtedly fools himself into
believing that he achieves more thereby
There is a sense of speed, OF hurry,
of rush, pleasant in an age which has
sopped up huge quantities of propa-
ganda favorable to it.
This unquestionably stimulates the
mind Of the person who needs this type
of stimulus.
In other words, it acts agreeably on
the person who naturally moves quickly,
and that is about all, one may believe,
which can be said in favor of this in
cessant hurry-scurry of SO many per-
sons.
They are not such go getters" as
they would like to think, but are merely
human beings reacting to the stimuli
which their natures demand.
X *
If this were not SO, they would have
a quick pace for matters which de-
manded it, slow one for slow things.
They would put into play diversity,
one of the greatest charms of life.
Too little has been said in favor Of
diversity, as an abstraction, although
occasionally one hears the term "di-
versified so-and-so" used in relation to
agriculture or some phase of industry
Diversity ought to play larger part,
though, since it is one of the means of
seeing, knowing. liking as much as pos
sible in world where there Is, alas, a
great deal that one would rather not
see. or know. and cannot like at ALL
This is diversity, with vengeance;
but out of it comes that good acquaint-
ance with what one naturally is inter-
ested in.
The rut, then is not to be commend
ed; but, at the same time, one must be
careful that he knows whether the man
he considers lin rut' thinks of him.
self in the same way.
The longer a man lives, the more
surely he comes to the conclusion that
he is not SO invariably right as he used
to think himself.
He arrives at frame of mind when
he doubts other people less, and himself
more; when he begins to realize that
this man he thought in a rut" may

The Recovery, Council.

A co-ordinating council to speed the
entire recovery program Of the Govern
ment has been set up by President
Roosevelt. The President himself ap-
parently is to head the council, al
though he has appointed an executive
secretary to act as his liaison officer
with the members of the council. The
council is to meet with. the President
each Tuesday at the hour usually set
aside for the meeting of the cabinet.
The ten members of the cabinet are
included in the membership OF the
council, and with them are the heads
of the new organization set up to ad-
minister the recovery program, plus
Lewis w. Douglas. the director OF the
budget, and Frank C. Walker, who has
been designated by the President to be
the executive secretary. Mr.. Walker is
treasurer of the Democratic National
Committee.
The President is quite properly in
dead earnest in his demand for as
speedy translation of the recovery acts
OF Congress into action as possible.
The Government has not been famed
for speed. Red tape, the need for the
most careful scrutiny of all projects,
the demand for competitive bids and
the like necessarily tend to slow up a
governmental program. Yet it is clear
&hok
this is no time to let the grass grow
under governmental feet. Recovery is
in the making. 1t is already under
way. There are those who foolishly
would delay governmental action, hop
ing that recovery may be accomplished
Evening star., 1933-07-12

without the necessity OF putting 1nto
operation many of the provisions OF the
recovery program. If these gentlemen
have guessed wrong. however. and re-
covery lags. then not only will valuable
time have been lost but it may be too
late for governmental aid to turn the
tide again toward recovery. The people
have been told that the Government
will put its shoulder to the wheel. They
have been given confidence because Of
that fact. It is the duty Of industry,
of agriculture, Of the workers and Of
the employers to cooperate with the
Government in its present efforts to
speed the recovery machinery.
The recovery council should prove a
valuable clearing house. Almost inevi-
tably there must be overlapping OF
authority and of fields in these various
agencies. The council provides an ave-
nue. of adjustment. With the President
sitting. as he must, as head of the coun-
Gil, all the differences and troubles
arising may be ironed out before the
man who, after ALL is placed at the head
of every one Of the executive agencies
of the Government. The new council
and its members are faced with tre-
mendous task. A beginning already has
been made. But there still remains
the actual development Of the public
works program, promising large employ
ment of labor 1t also remains for in
dustry to cooperate with the Govern
ment to set up more equitable hours of
labor and wages and a safer scale of
production. The aid which the Gov
ernment is holding out to home owners
in the city and to farm owners in the
country must be made to function
easily If the people are to be helped.

Japan's New Naval Program.

Her grave economic conditions and the
enormously expensive Manchukuo-China
military campaign to the contrary not
withstanding, Japan. without batting an
eye, is preparing to spend another $685.
100000 on her navy. 1t compares with
the S23S 900 900 for which the recently
promulgated American naval program
calls and will be spread over practically
the same period of time, the next
three years. Like ourselves, too, the
japanese are actuated by desire to
bring their fleet up to the maximum
permitted under the 1880 London limi-
tation treaty.
The new construction projected by
Toxic comprehends two 8,500-ton cruis-
ers, two 1O,OOO-ton aircraft carriers,
fourteen ,400-ton destroyers, six 1850
ton submarines, one 5,000-ton mine
layer and eight torpedo boats. The
total of these thirty-three units is al
most exactly matched by the thirty-two
new ships embraced in the United
In addition to surface craft. Japans
program includes, at cost OF SAB, 8,OO0,-
600. the creation of eight new naval
air formations.
Japan contrived at London three
years ago to bring about tangible in
creases In her tonnage ratios OF as
compared to the 10 ratio assigned
respectively to Great Britain and the
United States. In capital ships Japan
quit London after having revised the
1O:1O:3 ratio in her favor to 10:l0:3"s.
In other categories the new treaty left
the ratios as follows (the last figure
in all cases representing Japan:
Aircraft carriers, 10:10:6; cruisers with
larger than 6-inch guns, 1896, 6-inch-
gun cruisers, 10:13:4.7; destroyers
1O:10:7, and submarines, 10:10:l0.
Thus Japan, under the London treaty,
achieved full submarine parity with the
British and American fleets, and
doubled her old quota in destroyers,
aircraft carriers and heavily
cruisers. At present, her fleet in being
outstrips the American feet in several
auxiliary categories, because the Japan
ese. unlike ourselves, have not since
1880 Jagged so far behind treaty build
ing privileges. Despite the new Ameri-
can program announced on June IS, the
United States Navy would not attain
full London treaty strength by the end
of 1886, when the treaty expires. An
other limitation conference is due in
1885. Japan has already served notice
that she will demand higher ratio,
and probably parity with Britain and
America, at that time.
Japan, no less than this country, Is
entirely within her rights in projecting
new naval construction on the scale
now disclosed. Altogether, develop
ments there and here seem to hold
small promise of substantial progress
in the direction of international dis
armament. Our own newly proclaimed
policy of Navy second to none"
would, Of course, be small or pow
erful Navy, subject to whatever might
be the size of the strongest fleet. 1t is
all matter Of Einsteinian relativity,
which applies at sea as we'll as on terra
firna.

Credit Bureau Gives Up.

Loaded up with defaulted drainage
bends and farm mortgages representing
excessive valuations, Minnesota's costly
experiment in State financing of the
farm, the State Rural Credit Bureau,
taxes to pay on its repossessed lands,
its income was still insufficient to keep
its obligations in good standing
Had this happened before 1888 receiv-
ership would have been inevitable. As
it is, the bureau has merely been placed
in the hands of a "conservator" which,
as every one knows, has a much nicer
and more respectable sound than "re-
ceiver."

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Concerning Optimism.
To be an optimist, you need not lazily
retire,
Avoiding anything you do not happen
to admire
And viewing this existence as a period
of rest
Devoted very carefully to hoping for
the best.
An optimist, of course, must hope the
very best he can
And also lend assistance to his hope
full fellow man.
You mustn't hope a tree will fall to
bring you kindling wood
Unless you take an ak and make your
optimism good.
A placid survey of the scene while
dreamy days drift by
Would lead to WEAKNESS Of soul which
must provoke sigh.
In toll and contest there are Joys which
hope cannot resist.
You needn't be clam because you are
an optimist.
