SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Sight Seeing.
Oh come, little boy, let US turn
from the Joy
That is lavishly brought into view.
Let political pride for a day stand
aside
While we visit a regular ZOO
Where the tree growing high seems to
wave at the sky
Let's forget intellectual pain
And hark to the call Of the great
or the small
Who in candor rejoice or complain.
Our steps will be led by their cries
to be fed
On selective and liberal fare.
All on the alert their demands to
assert
And each wanting more than his
share.
There's the elephant old both
sagacious and bold;
Lie Honkey ana parrot you III see,
The peacock, the goose, and the others
turned loose
To be gentle or else disagree.
So come, little. boy, and our time
we'll employ
With the friends that our ancestors
knew.
With their manners so quaint, kept
in proper restraint,
Let us visit q regular ZOO.

No more outstanding character In

than the impulsive and liberty loving
young gallant Of France. Marquis
lafayette Many stories have been
written about him, and many biogra-
phies, all of them containing the aver
age amount of the mixing of tradition
with fact, and all Of them shedding
some new light on the fortunes and the
character Of this young man who cast
his lot with the struggling American COL
onies in their fight for freedom. This VOL
ume gives a dramatic account of his de-
parture from home, his arrival on this
continent, his journey to Philadelphia
and his jubilant acceptance of a COM
mission on the staff Of George Wash
ington, whom he loved devotedly. 1t
Is a thrilling tale Of brave deeds and
high courage In the face of unknown
dangers. and Of the gallant part played
by him in the struggle which was ulti-
mately to result in the birth of a re-

powerful nation In the world The book
is written for young people, but its ap-

CONGRESS C0.operates

When you are giving cheers for the
way In which the new deal" is being
put through in Washington, don't for
get that congress-our much-ma-
ligned, perennially-criticised congress
deserves round Of applause too.
No peace-time congress ever acted
with the speed that this congress dis
played in putting President Roose-
velt's bank bill into effect. The house
gave the president q unanimous vote,
scorning even to keep q tally Of it:
the senate moved q trifle more slowly
but nevertheless progressed at breath
taking speed and recorded only seven
votes In opposition.
Congress has shown. by this action,
that 1t is quite as anxious to play ball
as the most ardent could wish. And
It leaves one with the suspicion that
president who Is willing and able
to provide forceful and dramatic lead
ership can get all the cooperation out
of congress that he or any man could
use.

The California Disaster
Chicago Tribuue)

Southern California has the SYM
pathy Of the nation In its latest vista.
ton Of earth's relentless forces. The
property loss is substantial, the loss of
life, though deplorable, less than
might have been expected. Modern
construction has limited the latter
and complete destruction seems to
have been confined in the main to
older buildings. Copings and insecure
parts Of structures were wrenched
loose and caused q good deal Of dam
age and many deaths and injuries
were caused in this way in the streets.
A result Of this experience, we sup
pose. will be . survey Of building for
weaknesses Of this kind and also per-
haps more emphasis on public In
struction in what to do in case of
earthquakes. The natural instinct Is
to run out Of shaking building into
the streets. but this may be the more
dangerous alternative. Unless the
building Is likely to collapse COM
pletely 1t would seem to be safer shell
ter than . street where looSened cop
ings or other objects are falling. But
we are not dogmatizing on proper tao
tics, never having had to meet the
unpleasant problem of conduct in Q
region where earthquakes are UNI
known. Califoruians may be de-
pended upon to work out the best
code.
Yet the question Of copings and
other detachable parts Of buildings
has had of late an interest for Chica-
goans. A recent accident, fortunately
not fatal. has called attention to the
danger Of copings. Fortunately mod
ern architecture Is averse to elaborate
ornamentations. It's tendency Is to
simplicity and reliance for its effects
upon harmony Of liae and mass
Many Of the old buildings meet these
conditions and have survived the
heaviest shocks. Modern steel con
struction has also proved remarkabl,
reliable under severe strains. The
greatest danger to property is through
fire created by the disturbance OF
wiring and enhanced by the disloca-
ton Of water supply.
The problems involved are compli-
Gated and difficult, but they will be
gradually solved and loss Of life and
property reduced to q minimum
Americans are not q people disposed
to take punishment lying down and
have . capacity for adjustment ia
conditions which Is one Of their most
marked and useful qualities.

which were coined. This one II worth
$4,000 today. Another valuable coin
Is the 100 cent. II you happen to
have one In good condition, you won't
have to worry about the depression
for at least . year.
The society also interested In rare
counterfeits, like Mr.. Dudley's afore-
mentioned penny. Some Of the older
counterfeits were actually made Of
platinum, and gold-plated. Platinum
was once much cheaper than gold.

at US, but when he received $3.50 for
