The Nations Joke.

Can Huey Long survive the Long
Island Club incident? That question
is now of interest not only to the
people of Louisiana, who are restlve
under the rule of the Kingfish, but to
the people of the country at large, VINO
are hopeful for the early abatement OF
the nuisance of his blatant ballyhoo.
The matter gains point in the fact that
the clustering boss of the Creole State
has become a veritable joke, and there
is nothing more dangerous to any
career, however successful for a time,
than to become the subject of general
ridicule. Ever since the unknown hero
biffed the clustering Huey in the eye
the victim of this onset has been the
butt of humorists This disposition to
make merry over the humiliation of the
Kingfish reaches a climax at the an
nual Coney Island baby parade, in which
infants, with bandaged and blackened
orbits and bearing identifying placards,
were among the prize winners. Bur-
lesqued thus before tens of thousands,
can the great one, before whom strong
men have trembled and to whom erst-
while hostile political leaders have sur
rendered, regain his prestige? No mat
ter which of the many versions of the
incident may eventually, if ever, prove
to be correct, there can be no doubt of
the fact that the boss Of Louisiana was
socked in the eye and failed to redeem
himself by counter attack. He ned and

Another School Year.

An article in The Sunday Star on
the opening of the schools today sug-
eests that the school authorities face
an experiment this year in taking
care of the educational needs of an in
creased number of pupils with a re-
duced teaching staff.
Unhappily, results already demon
strated by past experiments indicate
that the outcome of the present one
has been determined in advance. The
teaching force has been reduced by
the wedding out of those teachers whose
ratings were low, by retirement and
the non-filling of vacancies, which has
saved S95,00c. 1t might be said that
the remaining teachers represent
higher degree of efficiency than before.
But these teachers will be burdened
with larger classes, too many Of them
so unwieldy that anything represent
ing personal instruction must go by
the board. The pupils who fit the
mold of the machine will survive, and
those who do not must get along as
best they can. There will be over
crowding and inadequate facilities.
Relatively speaking, the Washington
schools are fortunate. Worse things have
happened In some of the other cities

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

At no time has Washington and en-
virons ever been prettier than right
now.
Those who have left the city may
see it in their minds eye, the stately,
tree lined avenues and streets, the fine
parks, the foundation planting of
homes, and the gardens thereof.
Those Of us who are here can see all
this with our own very eyes, II We will
take the trouble, now and then, to look
around us.
1t is amazing how easily one becomes
used to fine sights. how quickly the
novelty of beauty wears off, how stupid
one can become in regard to the usual.
x X X
The usual. everyday sight-it tends
to have a benumbing influence upon
the mind and heart, unless one pulls
himself up, every now and then, unless
he reminds himself Of what Is around
him as free as air.
Right now is one of the very peak
points of the year for seeing our beau
tiful National Capital all over again.
Maybe 1t is this way every year at
this time, but somehow it seemed diff
ferent to us. the other day, when we
found ourselves in fine moment of
appreciation.
Autumn might be on the way, and
almost at hand, but scarcely a tree or
shrub or q flower showed it.
X x X
Indeed, foliage everywhere seemed
especially thick
1t was this one feature of the urban
landscape which attracted our attention
particularly.
The great August storm had not
damaged permanently anything, but
had seemed to make all trees and
bushes better. thicker, greener.
Somehow the hand of Autumn had
but brushed a finer green into every
thing.
The city never looked better. and It
was good to stop and remind ones self
of the fact.
Here was the most beautiful city in
the world, according to general opinion,
yet one had gotten into the bad habit
of not looking at it.
Well. one could reform
This was reformation needed by
many.
Listen to letter from one living
out of the city:
Il love to read your descriptions of
Washington, because they remind me
of all the beauties that used to be mine
The recollection of the city Is a
precious treasure; how I envy those Of
you who still live there.
Il enjoyed your description of Tiger
Cat Lane, as you called it. The fact
that you invented name for my favor
ite road did not prevent me from rec
ognizing it.
II always loved to take that walk,
shadoWed by the great trees. Some day
I hope to walk that way again. In
the meantime, thank you for the pleas
ant memories you have evoked"

There speaks the Washingtonian in

This seems to be true with unusual
force, because so many persons come
here, by way Of Government service
or otherwise, and carry away with them
only the most happy memories of our
city.
Those of us who live here tend to for
get the romance which the very name
of the city spells to those out in the

SHOOTING STARS.

Theories Must Work
Our theories are gladsome. It's a fact
that we have had some
Which produced lot of good and lit
tie harm.
We view them with elation when they
form combination
To restore the world to pulchritude
and charm.
But when times are in confusion there
may rise some strange illusion
That tempts our old opinions forth to
hike
On the trail of recollection and we
pause for introspection
When our theories are threatening to
strike.
They are fine when they are working
and reveal no threat of Sinking,
But they sometimes get together in a
bunch
And display an inclination to affect
the situation
From the world supply of grain down
to free lunch.
From an airplane to flivver they will
promise to deliver
Just the articles that every one would
like,
But our nerve requires some bracing,
for a crisis we are facing,
When our theories are threatening to
strike.

says 1t he knows that the mere fact
gives him q certain standing
For not every one in the United States
has been to his National Capital. al
though it may be said to be the ambi-
ton Of every one.
A periodic determination to see the
city as 1t really is-this is the plain
necessity of the case for those who
live here.
Sometimes one will have to stop to
consider that this is more often achieved
in theory than in actuality.
What we may urge here is one thing
but the putting of it into effect in the
streets, along the roads, in front Of
great buildings, and everywhere else, is
quite another.
An effort Of the will is needed, at
such times, in order that the eyes may
see things as they really are.
Did you ever stop to think that there
are two ways of seeing, one In theory;
the other actually?
1t is one thing to walk downtown to
work, quite another to see the streets
and the corners and the buildings.
One becomes so accustomed to the
same sights that one is likely to over
look the best reward of all.
Beauty. either in buildings or thor
oughfares or paintings, or even in
planning (and mostly in this, perhaps)
is the most quickly lost of all our
senses.
The slightest street occurrence can
divert our minds from admiration of a
handsome landscape.
A noise Will do it, an uncomfortable
seat in public vehicle, smell of
some one else's chewing gum.

SUCH Interruptions must be fought. If
one Is to see Washington properly every
day, not just the few DAYS a year when
one Is acting as private and impromptu
guide to out-of-tOwn friends.
The very fact Of these occasional de-
mands upon ourselves, as Washingto-
mans, Is another very good reason for
keeping ones eyes open as much as
possible.
1t is possible right now for any per-
son with ordinary eyesight to see into
the future. in regard to the great
building program, and envision the
washington which Is to be-
Enough of the ma jor buildings are in
place, and under construction, for the
least far-seeing person to catch q
glimpse of the glorious future appear
ance Of the city.
1t is perhaps not too much to say
that a totally new Washington will be
the result. The panorama from the
Capitol to the Washington Monument
Is going to be breath taking in its
beauty. there can be no doubt of that
There is nothing new about saying it.
but 1t is true just the same.
| X !; =
| Those of us who live here "perma-
Fnently," as We say might as well get
our full share of this beauty all
around us.
There are other beauty spots in our
own United States, fortunately. but
Washington, D. c.. and environs is dis
tinctly one of them.
! And this great beauty spot has many
smaller ones. To some persons the
finest thing here is the Treasury De-
partment, for instance.
Others prefer the Washington Monu-
ment, in its sublimely simple setting
Others find romance in the wild
sweeps Of Rock Greek Park. or see the
paragon of beauty in some square Oh
circle.

Unfair and Unreasona BILE.

The basic iniquity Of the so-called
married workers clause of the economy
act is strikingly revealed in the pro-
posed discharge, october is, of forty
five married women from the Adjutant
Generals Office of the War Department
The sole crime with which these
women stand charged is the crime of
being married to Government workers.
Their efficiency ratings have not re-
ceived one iota of consideration. Hold
ing positions under a Government
which professedly believes in the merit
system, their relative value to the Gov
ernment as efficient workers amounts
to nothing. Ironically enough, if one
of them had married bank president
her job would be safe. The unpardon-
able sin has been marriage to fellow
worker for the United States Govern
ment.
The War Department refuses to make
available the information regarding the
base pay Of these women. Such in
formation is a matter that concerns the
taX-paying public. Refusal to make it
public-the salaries, not the names OF
the women-seems very cowardly per-
formance. The fact is that the women
probably are drawing salaries Of be-
tween fourteen and fifteen hundred
dollars, less cuts. And their pay, plus
whatever their husbands receive, un-
doubtedly leaves them out of the myth
cal class of fat offlceholders, against
which the economy act was supposedly
directed. If they were not forced to
work by the stress and strain Of max
ing both ends meet, they would not be
working now. A few facts regarding
the combined earnings of married cou-
Piles in Government employ would en-
phasize the fundamental unfairness OF
the discrimination against them. Such
facts, except in isolated cases, are with
held.
But neither salary, nor anything else
except efficiency, should govern the dis
missal of workers. If workers must be
discharged for the sake of economy
those with lowest ratings should &C
first. There Is no other rule which
will be fair both to the workers and to
the taxpayers whom they serve.

Lo. the Poor Farmer!

Despite the efforts Of the RooseVelV
administration to aid the farmer, that
individual seems to be getting the nttle
end of the stick. Prices for the arIl-
cles which the farmer has to buy, III
other words. are increasing more rap
idlv than the prices he obtains Tor
his own products 1t is this continued
discrepancy between the value OF tne
farmers so-called dollar and the dollar
of the industrialist that has brought
the most recent demand for currency
imitation. The cotton farmers OF the
South have been vociferous in their
demands fer imitation. They see cotton
prices lower than they were at this
time a year ago, although higher than
the prices which prevailed when the
Democratic administration took COM
mand last March.
The plight of the farmers has aroused
members of Congress from the South
and agricultural West to demand the
issuance of more money by the Gov
ernment. How the money is to reach
the farmer. however, is another thing.
The prosperity of the farmer depends
unon the relation of the prices he Is
able to obtain for his produce to the
prices which he has to pay for the
things he needs-clothes, gasoline, ma
chinery. automobiles, radios and all the
other manufactured products that go
into the present daily life OF America,
on or off the farm. 1t would aid the
farmer no whit to increase the amount
OF currency If at the same time the
prices he obtains for his crops re-
mained relatively less than the prices
he has to pay for the things he buys.
Really the administration has labored
manfully to devise ways and means Oh
curing the discrepancy between the
farmers dollar and that OF the city
dweller. 1t has sought to curtail pro-
duction by paying the farmers for 1all-
ing to plant their acres. and thereoy
bring the volume of the crops more
nearly to the extent of the demand.
It has set up additional credit facilities
for the farmers and has arranged to
care for hard pressed farmers who are
In danger of losing their land because
of mortgages. Farm prices have been
raised thrc~gh these efforts in many
cases. But me administration has de-
vised a plan for making industry pay
for the operation of the farm relief
plans through processing taxes These
taxes are shooting up the prices OF the
manufactured articles. Furthermore,
the NJ R. A. has tended to increase
commodity prices, and the truth OF the
matter is that the farmer is still, as
he has been for years except during
the World War, suffering from the fact
that what he produces brings less rela-
lively than the commodities which the
industrialist produces and which the
farmer must buy.
The problem of the administration is
twofold at present-to boost the prices
of farm crops and to keep the prices OF
manufactured goods from increasing
too rapidly If pricefixing program
should be adopted by the Government,
as has been urged in some quarters,
then must the prices of farm products
be fixed above the prices which an open
market would bring, and the prices OF
manufactured products must be held
down below these which are demanded
of the farmers when they go to make
their purchases in town.

when silver services are presented to
ships of the Navy, they are kept on
board as long as the ship is in service.
When the ship is decommissioned, the
silver is sent TO the general supply Of
ficer at the place of decommission and
kept in storage until another ship Is
built and given the same name, at
which time the silver is presented to the
new vessel. If ship is not given the
same name, the service is usually given
