What a District Citizen
Experienced in a Dream
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
There now seems to be some ques-
ton in the Senate as to whether Con-
gress has the right to regulate rents in
the District of Columbia. OF course,
as Senator Copeland says, Congress can
pass a law permitting the Federal Gov
ernment to go into State and regu-
late business doing an intrastate busi-
ness. He then pertinently asks. Why
not law to regulate rents in the Dis
trict of Columbian"
After reading the above the other
night. had a dream that I believe
explains why they will not pass such
law
In this dream I had very definite
sensation of having slipped this mortal
coil and being bound for unknown
places. I seemed to be travelling at
high rate OK ,peed In utter space. Sud-
denly I landed with a bang I had
reached my destination and it was
weird looking place. I could hear a
great babel Of voices. It sounded like
several hundred men all making a
speech at the same time, none of which
made any sense. Although l could
hear all this hubbub, could see only
one man. He was an impressive looking
parsonage. with long-tailed coat. a
broad-brimmed hat, flowing tie and

inquired
He'll" he replied.
We'll" I asked. when do go to
work? Or has the depression struck
this place. too?"
What was your business on earth?"
he asked l told him and. just to be
sociable, asked him what his had been
Il was in Congress" said he. and
I'm running this place just like we ran
Congress"
Is that why they call it help" I
innocently asked. He glared at me then
and informed me that I would not be
permitted to follow my earthly vocation
in my new habitation. Imagine my
horror and disgust when he assigned
to me my work My job henceforth
said he, was to take all the garbage
and empty it over a nearby cliff every
morning 1t seems that, true to con-
gressional tradition. there was quite an
accumulation of unfinished business. So
he intimated that I had better get
busy. Getting my first cargo to the
edge Of the cliff was hard job, but
managed 1t. Just as I was getting
ready to empty it over the side looked
down and saw great multitude of
people down below. I sought out the
chief who had set me to work
Il can't empty the garbage over that
cliff" said l. There are lot Of people
right under it,
"Oh. don't let that worry you," he
replied contemptuously. Empty it right
on them. They are all from the Dis
trict of Columbia and there's not vote

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Crop Report.
June goes lightly on her way;
We shall all regret her.
Perfumed whisperirgs will say,
We are glad we met her"
For she brought her 'customed charm
When all men were viewing
With historical alarm
What the world was doing.
AS We study everywhere
What the earth produces
And observe with greatest care
Quantities and uses,
June will bring. whate'er befall,
Treasure that discloses
Lavish loveliness for all
In the crop Of roses.

Two times of day are peculiarly
relished by gardeners Of all sorts, pro-
fessional or amateur, energetic or lazy,
good or indifferent.
Early morning, and the twilight hour
Both, happily enough. are available
to the person who may not have any
other time at his disposal.
The morning has long been praised.
but not SO much has been said about
the cleaning. or whatever one chooses
to call the time just before dark.
The great difficulty about the former
period is the getting up.
Almost all home gardeners would en-
joy the freshness of the cool of the
day. if they could induce themselves
to snap out Of tt in time.
They have lost the old necessity for
being on guard. Of awakening imme-
diately, of being alert Immediately.
Civilization has bred out" in a
sense. that prime necessity of the ami
NAL.
Even house dogs and cats in time
come to initiate man in this respect;
they become as difficult to arouse as he.
Perhaps there is no need that man
should retain. in its full force. the
dIClcllJ dUlilty W al lSc llht d SiIol, nliu
meet the enemy with blazing eye and
able muscles.
Yet a great many persons ought to
do better than they dc in this respect.
They get out of I'D with much
groaning. as if arising were the awful
task which they seem to make 1t.
There are many physical reasons for
this attitude, but there can be little
question that most of it is habit.
Instead of opening their eyes sharply,
as if they msant it, they permit them
to open cnly little at time, SO that
it takes as much as half an hour for
them to turn over preparatory to aris-
ing.
When you begin to turn over. It's
time to turn out" said a great soldier.
Whether one admits the truth of this
neat saying, there is grain Of whole
some advice in it.
He who arises naturally, without
forcing on his own part, will be in bet
ter fettle to enjoy the early morning
garden.
We do not advocate any real labor
at this time. The morning hour in the

temptation, at least that good sort
which consists Of seeing what Nature
has done during the night.
If there are real tasks to be finished
and one positively has no other time
during the day to do them, the early
morning will do. 1t will have to do.
But the grass is wet, and the dew is
on flowers, and the mood of the
gardener is not exactly up to digging
and the like, no matter how forcefully
he swung himself out CT bed.
So much has happened. even in the
smallest garden. during the night hours,
that the best thing the watcher can
do is to look
Most flowers open up during the
night, or at least put themselves into
such an unfolded state that they can
spring their petals at the first touch of
the sun.
What is more delightful in all of
Summer, than tc wander through the
garden to see which gladioli have
opened?
OF all flowers. none looks better with
the dew upon it than the gladiolus.
While this is charming time in the
beauty life of any blossom. it is pecul-
iarly so for the gladiolus, no matter
what the variety.
It will be difficult to find one of these

Figures.

There are big figures involved in
modern calculations" said the observant
person.
Very big" agreed Senator Sorghum.
Maybe one of the troubles Of the time
is that so many of us are not yet able
to count any higher than the eighteenth
amendment"
Jud Tunkins says he always wanted to
have enough money to keep him from
worrying about the future but he never
yet saw anybody who had managed it
that way.

Injustice in Interstate
Commerce Commission

To the Editor of The Star:
They certainly gave the little fellows
in the Bureau of Valuation, Interstate
Commerce Commission, raw deal. The
bosses saved themselves, about 10 of
them receiving one hundred thousand
dollars between them These ten bosses
are over about one hundred and fifty
people They did not want the furlough
plan to be put into operation because
it would affect themselves. The ex-
service men were supposed to be given
preference that was just a joke to
them They did everything possible to
hold their own jobs and push out the
little fellow.
Why does the Government allow such
niustiees like this to go on?

Economic Help on the Danube.

While the Lont on Economic Con-
ference marks time or rocks with dis
sensions. the little countries bordering
the Danube Basin have revived the
long-cherished project for a Danube
customs union. of which Czechoslovakia,
Rumania and Yugoslavia would be
the principal members. The leading
delegates of these three countries at
London have evidently been employing
their spare time there on this scheme
for economic self-help in Southeastern
Europe, while statesmen of the Western
powers, including the United States,
were running around in circles over
such matters as currency stabilization,
trade embargoes and other issues on
which they have so far only been able
to agree to disagree. DR.. Benes, foreign
minister of Czechoslovakia. and Yugo-
slavian Foreign Minister Jeftitch are
now in Paris discussing the Danube
plan with the French government.
which has a practical interest in any
international arrangements contem-
plated by the allied Little Entente The
latter holds that solution of Franco
italian political differences must pre-
cede a Danubian combination: Yugo-
slavia has a special interest in those,
because of acrimonious strife between
herself and Italy.
The incentive to a renewal of the
Danubian enterprise at this time seems
to be a desire to Illustrate an Austro-
German union and to include the Aus
trians in tariff treaty among the
Danubian states. Premier Mussolini
is represented as willing to adopt
friendly policy toward his Adriatic rival
snd neighbor, Yugoslavia, as the price
of preventing an Austro-German al
lance, which the Italians fear might
eventually extend to the Tyrol. part of
which came to Italy as a World War
prize.
Quite evidently the states which seek
Danube customs union place more
faith in purely regional bund, or
"zollverein," than in any economic re-
lief likely to be meted out to them at
London this Summer. 1t is a logical
pooling of interests which they have in
mind. Altogether, in area and popula-
ton, the Danubian states, inclusive of
Austria and Hungary, comprise an en-
tity of about the size of the Mississippi
Valley in this country. But in most re-
spects their interests are closely inter
locking and interdependent. The tariff
barriers they have erected against one
another are abnormal and arbitrary.
The Danubian statesmen have long
been of opinion that the obliteration Of
such distractions to the natural flow of
trade across their respective frontiers
is an obvious and practical necessity.
They do not seem inclined to wait for
the London Conference to remove them,
but to be invoking the theory that Prov
idence helps nations, like individuals,
which help themselves.

Trade Commission

To the Editor of The Star

To the Editor Of The Star:
Spoken words are but wind. That Is
an old saying. meaning that when words
are not written or printed It is difn-
cult to prove them. If the Federal
Trade Commission should make rec
ord of radio programs, words and mu-
sic, action might be taken to protect
the public as to morals and misleading
sales talk. THOMAS w. GILMER.

CHICAGO. Sept. 3O.-CUP)--
The American Legion is coming

Last spring Legion officials
were badly defeated when they
sought to halt the axe with WHICH
President Roosevelt slashed huA-
dreds of millions Of dollars annU-
ally from veterans benefits.
Leaders who are here for the
convention opening next week de-
clare. however, that it is not fear
of another defent that is back Of
the new program. The veterans,
they said. are sincerely endeavor-
ing to map a program in harmony
with national necessity simply be-
cause they believe it is the right
thing to do.
ANY program that doesn't
take the taXpayer-that is, the
government - into consideration,
isn't worth anything at ALL" said
Louis Johnson. national comman-
der of the Legion.
As TO his four-point program
for veterans legislation, already
adopted in the individual conven-
tions of the Legion's SO depart
ments, Johnson said when ques-
toned:
"While it is somewhat diver
gent from the views of President
Roosevelt, the four-pOint program
is sound. 1t is sound for the vet
eran and it is sound for the cOun-
try"
Johnson said that the leaders
are not. however, forgetting the
veteran who was manned in bat
tie, and they are as determined as
ever that the nation shall care
for the widows and orphans of
men who lost their lives in the
service.

TT was the day of the May festi

song she had learned in grade
school.
They went to breakfast in the
church that morning in accordance
with q custom brought from New
England by the first settlers OF
Pine Forest. Breakfast was served
from five o'clock until nine and al
though Eve and Dick were among
the first to arrive they had com
pany. The owner OF the general
store sat at their table and the gen
eral manager OF the paper mill was
next to Dick. Opposite sat the vi
lage tailor. polite and attentive,
The men discussed business con
ditions. Before Eve had finished the
delicious pancakes served with new
maple strip a group OF teachers
same in.
AFTER breakfast we are going W
,-to the woods for May flowers"
they told her and invited Eve to
join them. But she declined. al.
though cha was touched by their
thoughtfuness.
This day she had set aside to
spend with Dick. Soon she would
be leaving and she wanted 70 make
the most Of the short time remain
ing. They fingered over their cot
fee and then left the church. In
the tall white steeple the chimes
were ringing again. A sense Of
peace seemed to surround them.
Eve slipped her arm through Dicks
and as they strolIed past the wide
lawns on Main street they watched
the sun. red.gold, come up over the
top OF Eagle Hill. Birds were twit.
tering in the tree tops and In Mrs
Williams garden the pink flower
Ing almond was blooming. flanked
by yellow forsythia
That morning Eve rode out to
the camp with Dick. The hospital
buildings doomed up attractively in
that vast wooded area Dick took

felt an increased respect for the
powers that were bringing into be.

ing. BY midsummer the hospital
was to be opened. Dick. however.
would remain there to begin work
on more buildings to be added to
the unit. That meant that In all
likelihood he would spend another
year at Pine Forest.
Another long year without Dick!
