right of way. from which the public is
excluded, is a menace only at open
grade crossings. The bus, which is rap
idly encroaching upon the train as a
common carrier, is menace at all
points and at all times.
The provision of special highways for
bus transportation would be costly, but
it would pay in the end in the reduc-
ton Of casualties, which are now mount
ing to a shocking figure. The cost of
these routes should be borne chiefly
by the operating companies. At pres
ent, the contributions to road upkeep
by the bus corporations are negligible.
They pay no special fees for highway
use, and their only share Of the cost
of road maintenance is that involved
in the gasoline taxes which they pay,
and these are often inapplicable to such
expense owing to the diversity Of State
laws. In many cases the fuel supplies
are taken on at terminal points, SO
that they have no bearing upon the
road costs.
These considerations add to the
weight of the argument for the enact
ment Of Federal law bringing buses
as common carriers engaged in inter-
state business under national jurisdic-
ton. When such law is enacted
and it is hoped that it will be at the
next session of Congress- beginning
will be made toward the abatement of
a deadly nuisance which has become
the cause Of steadily mounting record
of fatalities on the highways.

The Leadbeater Drug Store.

A last-nlinute effort is being made to
save for the edification of posterity the
quaint old drug store at Alexandria long
owned and operated by the Leadbeater
family. Slated to be sold at auction on
July 10, it is an institution of a GER
tain curious and gracious celebrity, and
il would be well worth preserving.
Tradition holds that it was founded
In 1892. The proprietors were Quakers
and strong in their faith but they also
had a confident respect for the science
OF pharmacy. Religion, they held, makes
men just, merciful and neighborly. but
medicine now and again is useful in
making them physically we'll. So, one
generation after another. they catered
to the spiritual as we'll as the therapeu-
tical interests Of the community. Thu
last active head of the establishment
died iu Mss, leaving little but the
iegend. Little, that is, except the
sntient emporium of pills and plasters
with its century-old clock. which still
keeps time its worn doorsill, carved
counters, rows of mahogany drawers
with china handles, huge mortars and
pestles and ordered ranks of bottles and
walls. A metal plaque marks the spot

HUMAN ARCHITECTS
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES FREEMAN d. d. ILL., d, d. l.,
Bishop of Washingon

Upon the top of the pillars was lily
work" In the glowing account of an
ancient temple, to the construction and
enrichment of which meticulous care
was given, among other matters that
concerned its adornment, the statement
is made that, upon the top Of the
pillars was lily work" The pillars in
question supported the beams in the
porch of the great building. These two
pillars we're graphically described by
name, the one representing flrmness, the
other strength. Obviously, their pri-
mary purpose was to lend stability to the
great building of which they were an
essential part. The architects con-
ceived that something more than sta
bility was needed if the building was
to serve its large purpose, hence they
adorned the top of the pillars with
lily work Doubtless the worshipers
who came and went through this great
porch gave little consideration to that
for which the pillars stood, but their
eyes were inevitably drawn to the lovely
ornamentation that crowned their
capitals.
The story Of this building, as told in
the seventh chapter of the first Book
of Kings, is study in architecture. 1t
is interesting to note that from time
immemorial great architecture has wit
messed to something more than that for
which it was created 1t Is conceivable
that the world might be filled with
buildings wholly adapted to utilitarian
purposes and yet lacking in those ele-
ments that appeal to the deeper emo
tions Of our nature. There Is that
within all of us that responds to beauty,
symmetry and proportion. Were we to
build our structures. whether our homes
or our public buildings. solely to serve
the purpose for which they are created,
and to leave out of consideration that
which adorns and enriches them, We
should have a barren and sterile and
unattractive world in which to live.
We are bound to serve the ends OF the
practical and to recognize those things
that are essential to efficiency, but were
we to stop with these we should reduce
life to the prosaic and commonplace
The argument Is constantly put forth

to 20 after John Brown at Harpers
Ferry. A file of faded letters includes a
note from Martha Washington request
ing "a quart of the best castor OIL"
Once the establishment was new,
doubtless even novel, II had ap at
mosphere of institutional nobility and
pride about it. Its patrons included
representatives of an aristocracy as
honorable and as pardonably self-con-
scious as any the world ever has seen.
But the age to which 1t belongs has
passed away. and only the ghost Of its
charm remains. Is the shadow worth
holding? 1t surely would seem so. Crit
les declare that the amenities are dis
appearing under the blight Of competi-
tive modernism If that judgment be
correct, something should be done about
it. Mercifully. there still are extant
individuals who care about such things.
They remember and never will wish to
forget the aura Of dignity, serenity and
gentle kindliness which pervaded such
places and such times as those with
which the name of Leadbeater is iden-
titled

They assert that it has not been easy
for the Russians to make their foreign
trade serve its one great purpose
The Soviet Union needs foreign tech
nical equipment and other supplies to
complete its program of industrializa-
ton and since it has only limited credit
in foreign countries, it must produce a
sufficient eXportable surplus to buy for
eign exchange with which to pay for its
imports from the outside world. Amass-
ing such a surplus for export is very
difficult when its own people, to large
extent, still lack many of the necessities
of life.
Moreover, since there is no free COM
merce in Russia-the state having a
ticularly difficult for foreigners to ex-
ercise that freedom of negotiations
which is necessary factor in any COM
mercial transaction. The exporter
abroad has no alternative He must
deal with official Moscow-or not at all.
Last year the Soviet government i'm
ported foreign products valued at ap-
proximately 700000.000 gold rubles and
exported its own goods to a total of
some 565, 200, 900 gold rubles. The un-
favorable balance still continues. Last
year. the Department of Commerce
points out, the United States was in
fourth place among the important ship
pers to the Soviet Union. Leading the
list was Germany, followed by the
United Kingdom and Persia. This
country has been sending machinery
almost exclusively to Russia.

today that in all our thinking and
planning We should serve the practical
needs of men. Carried too far, such a
counsel would bring us to a state OF
affairs that would rob life itself of its
charm. Enrichment and ornamentation
may be costly, but they are indispen-
sable.
When applied to character building
which transcendS in importance all
else, We are bound to recognize that
there are elements that must be con-
sidered if We are to have a highly de-
veloped. well proportioned manhood
and womanhood. If the education OF
our youth means to give consideration
only to those things that develop me-
chanical efficiency, If we are to seek
only for that which makes the boy
or girl a highly developed animal with
no cultivated sense of that which re-
fines and enriches character. we shall
to use the language of another, raise
up a set of lusty young pagans who
sooner or later will make havoc of our
institutions"
The insistent cultivation Of those re-
finementS that contribute to the highest
and finest development of character is
indispensable. In this, religion holds a
conspicuous and commanding place
The Great Master saw something more
In men and women than that which
concerns mere physical development
They were not animals; they were pos
sessed Of capacities and potentialities
that, called into action, constituted their
richest and noblest qualities. Repeat
edly He affirmed concerning those who
had been beaten in the race of life
that they had within them qualities OF
mind and soul that, properly recog-
nized and appraised. would give them
place among their more gifted and sue
cessful fellows His whole avowed pur-
pose was to give to life a greater sense
not only of its capacity. but of its in
herent beauty. He adorned it with
lily work.
1t Is far more important to build
lives that are fine and noble and well
proportioned than 1t is to address our.
selves solely to those material concerns
that have to do with physical we'll
being and so-called efficiency.

France Concentrates on
Bicycle "Circuit" Race
BY WILLIAM BIRl

PARIS. July 8.-The French nation
has all its eyes at this moment on a
bicycle race. The race began June 81
and will not end until July 49, Until
then it will be difficult to make the
mass of the French people think about
anything else-including the gold bloc's
difficulties in London.
There were 80 starters in this three
week grind, known as the Circuit OF
France Forty of them are in five ma
tional teams of eight men each-rep-
Germany and France-while the re-
naming 40 are pedaling Independently.
Starting from Paris. the cyclists raced
northward to Lille, then followed the
frontier through Lorraine. Alsaee and
Savoy to the Riviera. Today they are
in Marseilles; on Monday they will be-
gin the terrible grind Of the Pyrerees,
and after that the race home up the
Atlantic Coast.

Crowds line the roads wherever they
go, for the chief front page news in
every French newspaper concerns this
race. French boys and men know every
rider as intimately as Americans know
Babe Ruth. In every city where the
racers stop for nights rest there are
fireworks. parades and speeches.
Local bicycle clubs. of course, turn
cut in force. Each club sends a dele
cation of its best pedalers to accom-
pany the champions to their rext STOP
ping place.
Since every newspaper of any i'm
portance. whether Partisan or pro-
vincial. has from one to four reporters
and one or more photographers follow
ing the race in automobiles, not to men,
ton the news writer's sent by foreign
papers, the confusion Is great when this
cortege piles into a French provincial
city. There are also the numerous auto

The Bus Menace.

Recently within twenty-four hours
two fatal accidents have occurred at
separated points. as busses were over
turned in the road when the drivers
have sought to avoid collision with
smaller motor vehicles. Near New
and twenty-four persons were injured
in the overturn of a bus plying be-
tween Philadelphia and New York
Near Mount Vernon. Ohio, three were
killed. twenty-seven were hurt, two Of
them seriously, in an almost identical
situation
The use Of the ordinary highways
for rapid transit passenger service has
added greatly to the dangers Of driving.
A question arises whether 1t will not
be necessary to provide special roads,
or at least exclusive travel lanes, for
these great vehicles, which are operated
on schedule at fast pace.
The great bulk Of the bus, its high
speed and consequent momentum make
it the terror Of the road. Drivers of
small cars must give way to 1t or risk
collision. The bus is constantly being
swung out to overtake preceding We
hicles, in order to make time On every
such occasion 1t becomes q menace, es-
pecially as many small-car drivers are
disposed to challenge the right Of the
bus to the dominant use of the high
way. There is indeed q constant con-
fict between these two types Of vehicles.
Great as are the hazards Of the road
when it is occupied only by small cars.
they are multiplied on lanes Of inter-
city travel by established lines on sched-
ule. Operating as they do between
States, the drivers are prone to disre-
gard the regulations of the successive
jurisdictions along their route. There
are no interstate rules for their opera
ton.

BY KATHARINE DAYTON.

This week, 1t seems to us. has made
a new low in what can no longer be
called the infant industry Of political
communicating. Which. we hasten to
add, is not at all the fault Of the politi-
cal commentators, God bless 'em every
enc!
Goodness knows Grade A political
commentators are bringing more on the
hoof than they have in years. But
this history the making stuff is
getting them. 1t is the old, old para
dox ever new-the bigger the story,
the harder to write. And this week in
tremendous story. It's been more like
an anthology.
More history has been made, T. O. b., in
both Washington and London this week
than We can remember, but to put a
political commentator on it is like put
ting the well-known chameleon on a
plaid-they simply go all to pieces.
Naturally, they keep right on COM
mentating because that's what they're
paid for. But what is there to say?
Take our own case. OF course COM
mentating is pretty new to us and we
just play at it, as you might say. SO
you may think our case Is not typical
though it is all the more pitiable. As
usual, we tied on our long, white beard
and got out both pairs of spectacles-
our rose-colored ones and the smoked
ones-and took a birds-eye view of
the state of the Nation preparatory
to emitting some erudite opinions on

Versification in its more precise forms
is an art no longer studiously practiced.
The money investigation has recalled
the poet John Pierpont, who wrote the
much-recited "Warren's Addr ess" be-
ginning, Stand! The grounds your
own. my braves" The lines have their
modern application. And so, when so
much distress demands sympathy, has
the perfect little triolet by H. c. Bun
ner. whose muse asserted herself in
supremacy over the gaudy fun Of the
ancient pictorial comic, concluding that
pitcher Of mignonette was a garden in
heaven sent to the little sick child in
the basement" American poets have
been in some degree silenced by the
rattle of the cash register Yet they are
worth remembering
