The Naval Hospital.

Clearing up Of & misunderstanding
regarding the site OF the new Naval
Hospital and medical center, as set
forth in an article printed in The Star
yesterday, leaves the situation favorable
for the immediate appropriation or allo-
cation Of funds for the execution Of this
greatly needed project. 1t is now as
sured that there is no difference Of
opinion in respect to the location of
this institution. The Commission of
Fine Arts is satisfied that the plans for
the proposed engagements and new
constructions on the site Of the present
establishment will harmonic with the
surroundings and has withdrawn its
previous tentative suggestion that the
naval medical unit be transferred to
site adjacent to the Walter Reed Hos
pital, establishing there combined
Army and Navy medical center. Such
a change, it is believed by the naval
medical authorities, would be a distinct
loss in the efficiency Of the functions
for which the Naval Hospital is utilized.
and would Furthermore make impossible
the present valuable cooperation with
the National Institute of Health, now in
development adjacent to the present
Naval Hospital grounds
OF the imperative need of new and
enlarged accommodations for the Naval
Hospital there. is no question. Much
of the equipment now utilized is Of a
makeshift character. There is no CO.
ordination of construction and the
facilities for the care of the sick are
seriously overtaxed. The adopted plans
for the new naval medical center pro-
vide for present needs and for the
future as well. They include provisions
for the development of the laboratory
equipment, which is of the utmost i'm
portance and which with proper accom-
modations would render the most valu-
able service in the fight against disease.
AS in the case of all other public
institutions at the Capital now in need
of proper equipment and quarters, 1t is
urgent that funds be provided imme-
diately for the beginning of the pro-
jected work, whether by appropriation
by Congress or by ALLEGATION from the
public works funds. Congress has
already been asked to appropriate
$4,000, 900 for the Naval Hospital medi-
cal school and dispensary, but only
500 900 has been provided for the
preparation Of plans. These plans have
been drawn and approved by the re-
sponible governmental planning agen-
cies. They have been prepared for
specific application to the site near the
Potomac River, with reference to rela-
tionship with the present and pro-
spective surroundings. All is ready for
execution as soon as an appropriation
is made, either directly by Congress or
through the Public Works Administra-
ton. The present conditions demand
action.

Going to work later than one usually
goes IS . novelty only surpassed by
starting out very much earlier than
usual.
Especially If this takes the worker
from home before the real light of day
begins to appear will he md much of
novelty in the process.
Variety, that true spice Of life, need

life" and the like,
A little early morning life, If one is
not exactly accustomed to 1t, will strike
just the note needed by many a person
who fancies he Is in "rut.'
What Is this thing, a "rut," which
every one hears SO much about upon
occasion?
Generally, it is supposed to be bad
thing, with the blame placed squarely
upon the person who is in 1t.
But Is 1t bad and Is the person always
to blame?
A good rut is rather nice as the Eng
lish would say. It has in 1t much solid
satisfaction.
Often enough it means that man
knows his job and knows 1t well, ana
does 1t completely to every ones satlS-
faction, perhaps his own last OF all.
LOYALTY, that great working force in
humanity, probably accounts for thou
sands of men being in these precious
ruts Of theirs.
They come into an organization, they
work hard, they live up to all the ex-
cellent precepts of their parents and
their teachers, they make good by slow
but steady stages
In time the job which they work up
for themselves comes to possess glow
which no other job in the world could
have.
Not always contented-for to be con-
tented wouldn't be human, would it?-
they plod ahead, firm in the conviction
that what they are doing is worth
while, not only because they are doing
it, but more because it is their part OF
the organizations work.
Loyalty!
not only theirs, but 1t Is part OF the Or
ganization machinery. Loyalty often
holds their tongue when they might de-
sire to protest about something or other

word. They realize, perhaps better than
most, that such dead wood" often Is
not Of its own creating or choosing; that
such human material, in fact, is often
very much alive.
Alive with loyalty.

If any one fears he is in rut, and
has the opportunity of varying his hours
OF arrival as he chooses, he can do
great deal to straighten out his mind,
now and then, by making the daily trip
q great deal earlier than usual.
Not every one will be able to achieve
this. it goes without saying, because
hours are set: they may not even be
able to get in, or do any work at all, II
they arrive ahead Of time"
Another reason why they cannot
sometimes Is that they will not. The
idea of losing q minutes sleep is too
much for them. They have permitted
the daily routine to get too great a
clutch upon their living habits. This
is the real "rut.'

The Speed "Racket." "

Great advances are being made in
the design and construction Of motor
cars. They are being made more COM
Portable, speedier, more certain of op-
Grafton, more attractive in appoint
ments and theoretically and mechan-
ically safer. At recent motor shows
they have appeared in an impressive
array Of elegance and efficiency. But
there Is no advance In safety, because
the motor makers cannot guarantee
them to be fool-proof. After a ma
chine Is delivered to the owner, who
is usually the driver, it is just as safe
as its operator makes it. and the daily
record of accidents, due to rash and
rapid driving, shows that there Is no
gain in security despite all the advances
that have been made in mechanical
and artistic improvements.
Scarce a day passes without its local
wreck. On many days the casualty
record runs into multiple figures. An
appalling total of sacrifices to speed is
being piled up as these utterly needless
accidents accumulate. Now it is the
side-swiping of a standing car, or a
tree or wire-bearing pole. Again it
is a head-on collision on the road that
has invited high acceleration for the
thrill of swift transport Or pedes-
trian is hit at street crossing because
the driver has disregarded signals or
dashed ahead without regard for the
rights of others.
There is no lack of warnings Of the
peril of needless speed or reckless driv-
ing. Daily the reminders come IN the
form Of these tragedies themselves,
which are sufficiently published to
carry the admonitions to all who can
read. Pictures are printed Of wrecks
to serve as an additional emphasis of
reminder that a motor car may be a
deadly weapon in the hands of fool
hardy, speed-possessed driver.
In many cases the offender against
the laws of safety pays penalty with
his life Again 1t is the life Of an

year by some Of his Progressive friends
and supporters in California. For ex-
ample, Charles A. Sunderlin of Los
Angeles, chairman of the National

that the veteran California Senator take
the lead in reorganizing the Progress
sive party. Mr. Sunderlin expresses
not the slightest doubt that Senator
johnson can be reelected. and declares
that the conservative Republican faction
and the Democrats cannot defeat him.
1T is not doubted that Senator john
son can be reelected without serious
opposition-and it matters not on what
ticket or tickets he may rum" Mr..
Sunderlin said. In California a candi-
date may run in the primary on all
the tickets. but to have his name 60
on the ballot he must win In the
primary of the party with which
he has announced affiliation. Senator
johnson, by declaring his af1iliation
with the Progressive party, would be
assured of a place on the ticket in the
general election. He might also win
the Republican and Democratic nomi-
nations, going into those primaries, too.

4 S AN educator and scholar Dr.
n Kramer'S record of As years in
Washington stands as monu-
ment of faithful and invaluable serv-
ice. To expect any man with DR..
Kramer'S duties also to control a
phase of school life as important and
intricate as interhigh athletic play is
too much. According to those with
the czariSh idea, assistance is needed.
An Interhigh Athletic Association
is in operation, but despite its cap
able force, headed by John Paul Col
Inns Of Eastern. the association lacks
the authority necessary to police
sports events as they seemingly must
be policed in high schools.
DIR. Kramer's recommendation that
the remainder of the interhigh foot
ball series be Cancelled was looked
upon as little too drastic. The
Board of Education yesterday gave
the series a new lease on life when
reconsideration of the edict was or
dered and a special meeting was
called for tomorrow morning.
1t was moral victory for protesters
against DR.. Kramer's recommenda-

much to injure their cause by burn
