Two Presidential Slips.

It is commonplace of observation
that few people speak as they write or
write as they speak. Colloquial English
differs considerably from written Eng
lish, particularly in the matter of
sentence construction. choice of words
and the avoidance of certain pitfalls
of syntax. Hao the President spoken
Wednesday at New Haven from a pre-
pared manuscript when he addressed
the Yale alumni at luncheon be would
probably not have committed two
errors that doubtless today give great
pain to the pundits of phraseology.
He would not, 1t is to be assumed,
have started his speech with a strictly
meaningless expression. Il don't be-
lieve that any higher academic honor
can possibly come to any Harvard
graduate than to be made an alumnus
of Yale" What the President meant
was. of course, that he did believe that
no higher academic honor could come
to him. The phrase, Il don't believe"
is one of the conmonest errors in the
spoken language Of our people.
The Presidents second slip consisted

clusion of a sentence with a prepo-

Picture Poland Barred
Was Properly Revised

To the Editor of The Star:
I note in The Star OF May a. an
article. United States Films Barred
by Poland as Slur on Honor of
Nation"
I think you will be interested in
knowing that although one American
company did unfortunately use the
names of two well-known Polish his
torical characters in one of their pic.
lures. when this was called to their
attention they Immediately elimin-
ated the names in all prints before
these pictures were released for
circulation.
This picture was reviewed by q
representative from the Polish con-
sulate in New York City, and the
company was assured that with such
eliminations the picture was all right.
After such pictures had been in cir
culation over year all over the world,
out of clear sky the Polish govern
ment bans all the producers pictures
from showing in Poland because this
mistake has been made, without tax
ing into consideration the fact that
the mistake was rectified, an apology
made and the picture was approved
by representative of the Polish
government
The world would have known moth
ing of this if the Poles themselves
had not sent this~1nformation out to
the press of the world, advertising
the fact from one end of the earth
to the other. It seems strange,
in view of the fact the producer of
this picture corrected the mistake and
apologized for it, that he still should
be so bitterly attacked by the Polish
government and the press of the
world. FREDERICK L. HERON,
Foreign Manager, Motion Picture Pro-
ducers and Distributors of America.

and weeks 90 by before anybody dis
covers which party they happen to
belong to-" OF course, the President
should have said "the party to which
they happen to belong" But not
many peopde expressing themselves
by voice go to the trouble Of being
so exact, so correct, so rhetorical.
Short cuts are the usual courses
by which spoken language flows, and
in all but the very rarest cases they
do no harm. Those cases occur when
the language is literally reported in
print and give encouragement, through
seeming authoritative sanction. to
others. But the fate of the Nation
does not depend upon the Presidents
colloquialisms. Everybody knows ex-
actly what he meant to say and that
is the main purpose of speech after
all.

Vacation responsibilities.

School Is out and thousands Of
children are free from the restraint
of ordinary routine. What will they
do with their time? What use will
they make of their leisure? The
average boy or girl will answer,
"Play!" And the attitude so ex-
pressed will be approved by the ma
jority of parents.
But 1t may be hoped that the forms
of amusement favored by the young
sters will be constructive. Vacation
should not be an empty or vacant
period. Neither should it be an op-
portunity for the several varieties OF
mischief which, according to ancient
tradition. Satan finds for idle hands
to do. On the contrary. the Summer
months should be employed in the
supervised pursuit Of worthwhile aims.
The whole intent of the holiday priv
ilege is that of providing a chance
for the development of the values not
institutionalized in the class room.
For example. the children should

available for that purpose. They

and stimulated to appreciate the nat

Their attention should be invited to
the fascinating sciences of botany and
astronomy. subjects which may be
studied in Summer as at no other
season. Under proper direction. they
should be allowed to indulge their in
nate prediction for navigation. And
for "rest hours" there are a world Of
books and a multiplicity of hobbies.
But regular habits of life should be
protected. Parents should be watch

motor mishaps. especially, goes up
with the temperature. Drownings and
Fourth of July casualties add to the
list of human losses. Every father
and every mother should accept it as
a personal obligation to teach the
duty of safety first"
In brief, 1t will bear repetition that
the vacation period has its own pc
culiar share of responsibilities. To
be best enjoyed and most proftably
used. it should be as thoughtfully and
carefully organized and governed as
any other portion of the year.

District Not Invited
To Display the Flag?

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t Is reported that the Commission
ers have called upon the people of
Washington" to show their patriotism
on July by displaying the American
flag.
II true, how much will they add to
the success of the celebration by fail
ure to extend the invitation to the
people of the District Of Columbia, IS
when outside of Washington there are
miles and miles of streets dotted with
thousands and thousands of homes
from which the flag might be dis
played?
Those inclined to browse forever in
the halls of the ancients will miss
many things like these:
Washington does not give employ
ment to any Of its people municipality.
No money Is appropriated for wash
ington.
There are no Commissioners OF
washington.
There is no assessor Of Washington
and Washington has no collector OF
taxes: no taxes are paid to WASH
ington.
No contracts can be entered into in
the name of Washington.
No suits can be brought by or
against Washington.
No prosecutions can be made
against anybody in the name Of WASH
ington.
No one is to be fined or jailed now
for offenses against the laws of Wash
ington. for there is no code Of law for
Washington.
As legally existing governmental
agency-as a municipal corporation
Washington disappeared in 1871, when
Congress constituted the District OF
Columbia its successor. The District of
Columbia was continued as the gov
ernment and corporation municipal
by the Districts organic act of 1878
AS our Commissioners are "Com-
missioners Of the District of Colum-
bia"-not Commissioners OF Wash
ington"-they ought to be patriotic
enough to include all the people at the
seat OF Government OF the United
States in public exhortations when the
occasion requires them to be all-in-
elusive. and not so very, very exclusive
as they appear to be.

Through Buses on Con.
necticut Avenue Needed
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor OF The Star:
have suggestion that I believe
will please the residents of the Con-
necticut avenue area. The car serv-
ice they have is slow, due to the
roundabout way the cars have TO
travel in order to reach the down.
town district.
Ny suggestion is to have a bus line
start from Chevy Chase Circle. run
straight down Connecticut avenue,
across Taft Bridge, thence continue
down Connecticut avenue around
Dupont Circle to Seventeenth street,
south TO K street, east TO Thirteenth,
down Thirteenth to Pennsylvania
avenue, east to Eighth. north to e to
the present terminal at Tenth; have
others continue on Connecticut ave-
nue. TO Nineteenth, to Constitution
avenue for the benefit of Government
employees working in Potomac Park.
Coming back the buses could 20
north on Eighteenth, which is one
way, to Connecticut avenue; thence
over Connecticut avenue to the ter
minus at Chevy Chase Circle. In
addition to above. during rush hours
have some of the buses cut back at
Bureau of Standards.
In furtherance of this idea, make
these buSses expresses on the trip
going south, making the last stop at
Connecticut avenue and Calvert street,
with no intermediate stops until the
corner of Nineteenth street and
Massachusetts, avenue is reached !.
going north, make the last stop at
Eighteenth and Massachusetts, ave-
nue.. The fare on this bus should be
10 cents cash fare or q s125 pass.
The Potomac Park section after the
rush hour could suspend and be very
well taken care of by the present
street car service.
The street car company wants to
speed up service-that can be seen
and the busses, in my opinion. over
the route have described will be very
popular. In any event, it could be
tried for a period and believe 1t
would be made permanent.
May l in closing offer you my
thanks for your publicity regarding
the Taft Bridge? It is from such
things as this rejected proposal to use
the bridge for street car service that
we must guard our fair city.

1t is the abstract believer who
makes the doer.
The more people there are who
surer and safer that nation will be,
in the long run.
In writing these lines we are well
aware that there are many exceptions,
but still we go back to something most
of us can understand. the individual.
We feel we can understand him as
he presents himself to us, but we are
not so sure about him when he comes
in the mass.
The contact of thousands OF us with
government Is very, very slight.
The poStman as he comes to the
do0r-that Is about the only real con-
tact thousands of persons have with
government, whatever any one may
think about 1t
1t is helpful to 60 back to the in
dividual law-abiding person. whose
peculiarities we may not like, but
whose calm acceptance of law and
order we must admire. unless we
choose to line up with the other side
Of the case.
He who believes In law and order
will believe In respect for others. An
abstract respect for law means that
the chances are that the individual
will have a respect for other human
beings. since the law represents them
all.
Many instances Of inefficiency. so
called, are nothing in the world but
q lack Of respect, II you trace them
down to rock bottom.
You leave word for some one to tell
some one else something or other; he
fails to do so; you snort about his in
efficiency, but the real truth was, what
you do not care to admit, that the
fellow had no respect for you. as an
individual human being. He would
have been efficient enough, II he had.
Theoretical respect for law, for the
majesty Of order, is the only thing
which will permit the average human
all other human beings.
Short of this, life to him is just a
grab, with the biggest grabber the best
man-and may the best man win. In
such philosophy. the biggest grabber
thereby proves that he Is the best
man.
Such man would pick up dollar.
some one elSe'S money, and put it
into his own pocket He would want
it because he found 1t. He would
never understand in the least the
feelings of the other type, who hon.
estly did not want the dollar because
1t did not belong to him."
1t Is needless, but pleasant, to say.
that life is safest and sanest and hap
piest when the majority of citizens
constitute this theoretical class, and
when they have complete control of
things. Then life flows along un-
eventually, but profltably. for most
persons. You cannot eat your cake,
and have it, too, as the poet Herbert
was first to say in just that way.
1t Is high time that the popular
finger of scorn we're turned away
from the man who minds his own
business and who believes other people
ought to do the same. He is not a
"milktoast," or the like, but one who
has a theory, and who Is trying TO
live up to it.
He is the individual who wants his
own. but who does not want what be-
longs to some one else. II he finds
the latter. he tries to find the owner.
In the meantime. he will not spend.
or otherwise use, what he finds. He
is a hero. Yes. but he is not just
one. he is millions, else our glorious
land would fall to pieces tomorrow.
