utterly unselfish devotion. The explana-
tion is obvious: Parents have the power
to express q special kind of love. They
are endowed with an affection for their
children which must be akin to that
which the painter feels for the canvas
he has painted, the sculptor for the
figure he has freed from the crude
stone. They have created the boys
and girls, the men and women to whom
they are writing. They are givers of
love. Granted, they may have the
fault of too great sense Of possession,
it still remains true that the basic
motive of their attitude is that of
sponsors
1t would be a task of delight to
search the family archives Of America
for characteristic letters from home
and to arrange them for publication
within single binding. So displayed
they would constitute a memorable
sidelight on the forces which have
made America all that it is. Their
literary aspect might not be notable,
but their spiritual connotations would
be deeply impressive.

Tradition.

It has been said that the youth Of
the United States Is insufiiciently en-
dowed with interest in tradition. The
charge may be true. If SO, the circum-
stance is to be regretted. But before
a proper correction can be made in
any such matter of popular psychology
it Is necessary to examine with care the
elements of the problem.
Tradition, obviously, Is not its own
excuse. Nothing has authentic sur
vival value merely because Of the fact Of
having already enjoyed lengthy ex-
istence. Anticipated things are not
necessarily admirable solely on account
of their excessive age. Progress i'm
plies q gradual emergence from the
conceptions of the past, gradual de-
velopment Of intelligence, an orderly
substitution Of greater knowledge for
lesser. In the process certain amount
of damage is inevitable. And when the
pace Is extraordinarily rapid, as it has
been In recent years, there is bound to
be good deal of loss. Men and
women, boys and girls are apt to
neglect much that is worthy of re-
membrance the while they struggle to
absorb new verities, new ideals. The
old knowledge is rejected In preference
for the new.

Protests Removal of
Store Window Signs
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Your item in Wednesdays issue CAP
toned 1900 Illegal Signs Removed By
Drive" Is of sad significance in more
senses than one. The creation of the
removed signs, none of which was less
than ! foot square. had been of ap-
preciable help in giving employment.
!nat source OF relief Is now apparently
dried up. The monetary loss falling
upon merchants now making eyery
sacrifice in support of a program of
recovery Is very real and wholly un-
necessary
The power Of q municipality to regu-
late signs extending beyond the build
ing line OF q property is a perfectly
valid one. The new laws mentioned in
your article refer to signs within the
owners place of business. Unless en-
acted in the exercise of q police power.
and these clearly are not, they are
ultra wires
Under the unhappy form Of govern
ment possessed by the people OF the
District OF Columbia, We should never
forget that there are judges in WASH
ington. A small body of, say, 80 mem
bers, acting under the sound advice of
counsel, could within the past few wears
have saved themselves and their fel-
low taxpayers much money and have
avoided the infliction of many indig-
mites, at small individual cost.
Unfortunately, our Board of Trade.
which has done invaluable work in the
past, and no doubt will render good
service IN the future, Is hamstrung IN
the present stage of our affairs because
1t, good-naturedly, permitted itself some
months ago to be made the victim Of q

Register of Unemployed
Is Urgently Needed Here

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t Is gratifying to know that a board
Is to be appointed by the administra-
ton, similar to those named in the
States. for the purpose Of relieving the
unemployment situation in Washington,
1t would seem to me that it would
be an excellent plan If such, board
would establish an employment bureau
requesting those desiring positions I'd
register, and where employers could
register what positions are available. II
should be the duty of the board to see
that every qualified registrant is placed
In some position
There Is one class of worker which
Is entirely unprotected and unassisted
IN its Efforts to secure employment
and that is the class Of the business
ana professional men and women, OF
whom there are many unemployed today
Many OF these people are victims Of
the depression, with very superior
qualifications gained by long years OF
devoted service Many of them were
dismissed from their former positions
when the retrenchment program began
not because Of inefhciency, but because
employers could decrease expenses by
putting lower-salaried, though less ex-
perienced, people in their places.
Unless there is some centralized place
where such people can register, especi-
ally those who have not the protection of
labor and other organizations, where q
check can be kept on the number OF
unemployed and the number Of those
placed In positions, how can Washing
ton know that its unfortunate ones
have been taken care Of?

Camp for Blind
A Backward Step

To the Editor of The Star:
My attention has been called to the
article in your Sunday paper on organ
izing camp for the blind. am
without vision myself and feel that I am
in a position to comment on this plan
I greatly appreciate the interest that q
few sighted take in those without vision
but the plan suggested Is absolutely
obsolete. Fifty years ago this would
have been considered an excellent idea
because at that time the public under
stood the question less thoroughly
There are SO many things that a per-
son without sight can do with the aid
Of his sighted brothers, that setting the
blind of in q world Of their own is
absurd, to say the least.
Most schools for the blind throughout
the country are now sending their stu
dents into the public high schools to re-
ceive their education because the con-
facts with the sighted students mean
far more than words can express to the
sightless student. 1t gives him an op-
portunity to make more friends and
teaches him to live in a sighted world
as he must do after leaving the school
Some States have no schools for the
blind, but are doing a far better thing
by sending all those without vision di-
rectly into the public school system.
The writer has just graduated from
the Baltimore City College this past
June and knows whereof he speaks.
II those interested in establishing q
camp for the blind would only turn Their
efforts toward having the camps for the
sighted throughout the Nation accept
those without vision in their midst, then
their efforts would bear a worthwhile
fruit. Since one boy without vision has
made good in sighted camp, why not
allow others to join in the invigoratine
exercise Of outdoor life? What those
without vision need is to mingle more
with their sighted brothers and sisters
1 might say that they would do this
more if the sighted population would
not Shun them and cause them to feel
that their company is not desired. The
orchestra leader at Camp Airy, Thur
mont, Md, whom know personally, is
without vision, but enters into the ac-
tlvltles OF the camp life there the same
as his sighted brothers and sisters. By
taking his place in the activities of the
camp he teaches the sighted to better
understand the sightless and their need
am living here at present at Toe H
and would not think OF giving up my life
with these young men to go and live
where there were only those without
vision: For the blind to live only with
the blind tends to make them narrow
minded. The blind of this city, or any
other city for that matter, would be a
great deal better off if the sighted
around them would only take a more
real and friendly interest in them. In
vite them to go on outings with you and
70 JOIN IN your parties and entertain
ments. We learn in life mainly by our
associations with others and exchange
OF Ideas. Then why not exchange ideas
with those without vision? Let them
know what Is going on in the world and
consider them as normal as yourselves
1or they are in reality. After all. we
think with our minds, not with our eyes
To establish a camp for the blind
would be only taking step backward In
lieu Of step forward.

nitely dated. They are familiar With
nothing but the affairs Of their own
period. It probably would be an error
to say that they entertain q contempt
for times that are gone. But, on the
other hand, 1t is undeniable that they
have no particular affection for man
ners and customs which they deem out
moded or for theories and doctrines
which they arbitrarily judge to be OBJ
solete. The difficulty is that Of in
structing them with regard to the evo-
luton of the present out of the past.
They are what the past has made them.
They are not the product of spon-
taneous generation. Instead, their very
skepticism, their agnosticism, Is an ef-
feet; q fruit of causes operating CEN
turies ago. They think as they do be-
cause their remote ancestors thought as
they did. They are not naturally iso-
lated from their origins. Any divorce
Of antiquity and modernity really would
be unnatural And American youth
ought to be too authentically pragmatic
to be willing to risk the dangers Of an
artificial separation of that kind.
Tradition, it would seem, should be
visioned as accumulated experience.
Some of it, certainly, Is tedious and
dull; some Of it is tragic. But, by the
same token, some of it is richly notable
for its qualities of authentic folk wisdom.
Not all the progenitors of the living
quota of the children of earth were
fools. Intelligence is not the exclusive
prerogative of the twentieth century.
Instead, study of ancient Greece and
Rome, medieval England and France
discloses a fascinating capacity on the
part of history to repeat. Knowing little
or nothing of tradition, how are latter
day nations, latter-dAy leaders to avoid
the mistakes of long ago? How are they
to profit by the example of thinkers
quite as competent as themselves who
perforce faced similar emergencies. tried
similar expedients, in their own not
entirely dissimilar times?
Granted, the past is no fetish, the
truth remains that mankind is travelling
a road undertaken millenniums back,
that there is continuity in mankinds ex-
perience, and that the memory Of the
losses, the gains, the sorrows, the joys
of ages remote should be a practical
old in the pepotiation of the trials and
troubles of ages current.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

A tramp dog, If it can get food and
water, Is no more OF q menace than
many another dog which sports collar
and tag.
The chances are against it, undoubt-
edly, but 1t all depends upon the d!spo-
sition Of the dog.
Probably such a wanderer is no more
annoyed by fleas, for instance, than the
pet Of some one who will not go to
the trouble Of keeping the pests off.
It is impossible for any one to know
whether such a dog is lost, has merely
strolled away from home, or has been
dumped down by a passing car.
| X \
Kindness to animals, therefore, calls
for particular sympathy in such cases
There are more ways of being kind
to animals than are imagined in the
lexicon of those who know but one way
| It is a practical thing to put out food
at night, good clean food, not old food
so that the four-legged prowlers can
get something decent inside them.
to think this sort Of care would be
more appreciated than all the fine
words in the world.
| When a fellow Is wandering around
and hasn't any place to go, he Is glad
to find something good to eat wherever
he can
The dog lover will get a real "kick''
from preparing such meals and placing
them where wandering dogs and cats
can get them. If he has fondness
for cats he will double his pleasure.
No doubt some well-fed animal may
- take, but that cannot be helped.
| \
Feeding pet animals is a form Of
\ fnh hahn
relish as much as their own meals.
| They get an intense delight from
the mere sight Of brute creatures con-
suming their proper foodstuffs. They
share the plain pleasures of the ami
mails. But there is q divine urge
there, the urge to live, which shows
itself by the greediness, as humans
call it, with which the brutes devour
their food.
Animals have no particular eti-
quette in eating. Mostly it is first
come, first served, and he gets most
who pushes the most and eats the
fastest
The friend Of animals will take no
shock from these traits in his small
| friends. They are proper to them.
When a human being eats after such
fashion, he is called pig; what
is all right for the hog is distinctly
otherwise Tor men and women and
children.
| Il
| Even among the animals, however,
there Is manifested certain dainti-
ness Of feeding
One particular animal. for instance,
will insist on waiting until the others
are through.
Thus there will be no food for that
one unless the human friend sees to
it that this ones meal is laid aside
for it.
This is not timidity on the animals
part. but simply in its nature. Whether
one chooses to call it niceness Of man
ners is another question, but surely
it is so called when manifested in a
human being.
These are the dog days" 1t would
be well If householders would leave
out at night at least a pan of water
in order that some wandering dog
might quench its thirst If this is
done care should be taken that the
vessel is kept clean and that the
water is fresh each evening"

Boosting Food Prices
Behind Blue Eagle label
70 the Editor of The Star

~ 'He Eoltor OF The Star.
The naive and childlike belief on the
part OF Gen. johnson that purveyors of
the necessities of life will not increase
prices faster than wages are increased
Is not justified by the facts. Rumblings
and mutterings of protest on the part
OF the buying public are daily increasing
because the chain grocery stores are
ooing that very thing. They started
II at the f1rst hint of imitation and every
Gay sees an increase in their prices on
several articles of food. Are these in
creases Justiflable? Take potatoes as
an example. They were already high
enough, in all conscience. vet recentIv
they advanced the price to approxi.
mately cents pound. Just about the
Time the stores here advanced the price
on them I read letter on the editorial
page OF the Baltimore Sun from a farm
er on the Eastern Shore of MARYLAND
complaining most bitterly on the fact
that the farmers are getting SO little for
tnelr potatoes! II the increase in the
price OF potatoes is not justifiable, how
ABOUT the price jumps on hundreds of
other articles of food? Is the farmer
getting the difference? Don't make me
laugh! True, some of the increases are
small, but in the aggregate they are
large. 1t seems particularly contempt
lbie and indefensible to raise the price
OF potatoes. an article Of food that the
very poor are practically compelled to
have. However, that is probably the
reason they did it. If they are going
to continue this course I would suggest
that they at least refrain from adding
insult to injury by heading their ad-
vertisements Big Food Values" Bar
gain Week in Foods" etc. That N. R. A.
sign in their windows makes me grin.
To them it means Now Reap Abun-
dainty" And that line I'VE Do Our
Part" Well, it depends on how YOU

In the name Of one who was lost 70,

Summer Of long ago, he put out a,
night a big bowl of wheat biscuit and
milk and pan Of water.
Call him sentimentalist who will, hi
also performed a civic function, because
in the morning the bowl was clean and
the water gone. A dog had been saved
A tramp, she had come up the drive
way, and partaken of the fare.
The next day he saw her. a liver
colored animal OF the police type.
She was afraid of humanity.
Her big bat ears laid back at the sigh:
Of her benefactor.
Quickly she skunk away.
She did not know good from evil, fol-
she was only tramp dog, q menace,
some might have said.

In the daytime she skulked from
street to street.
Few paid any attention to her. be-
cause she was not bad looking animal;
some one owned her, they thought
Her coat was good. although Of q
peculiar tinge.
At first she seemed rather slow o!
motion. but after few nights of biscuit
and milk she gained in speed and loped
easily where before she had merely
skunk.
1t was impossible for the householder
however, to get her to come near.
The most wheedling whistles, here,
pup here. pup" done in the best style
afforded no lure to her.
She was afraid Of mankind.
4 X
The friend of dogs was seated in his
outdoor living room Cthey used to call 1t
back yard) on a sunny afternoon.
He heard rattle.
Looking up, he discovered the old dog
nosing at the edge Of the garbage can.
Knowing better than to pay any at
tention to her he slid into the house
very carefully, SO as not to disturb her
and prepared plenteous repast.
Surely" he thought. with this bowl
in my hand. she will come up"
The dogs ears began to lie down,
and she looked furtively at the man
and his bowl.
Here, boy, here, boy" he called. All
dogs are boy" when you are trying to
call them.
The tramp began to move.
Bowl or no bowl, food or no food, she
feared mankind
Even when the food was taken to the
edge Of the driveway, by the hedge, she
refused to appear.
Where she spent her days her friend
did not know but in the middle Of the
night he would hear the lid come of
the garbage can and rattle down on
the concrete.
She was up to her old tricks. after
eating the bowl of biscuit and milk and
drinking entire the big pan Of water.

Nobody could tell him that such q
dog ought to be taken up" or put
out of the way"
With food and water, she would be
able to take care Of herself until such
time as she happened to be able to
establish herself
Just how those benefactors were going
to induce her to come near, however
was q problem which the other would
leave to them.
It would be their problem, after all:
his was to do his part by keeping her
supplied with grub at night.
