New Contracts for Air Mail
Revive Critical Comments

the Airmail Service had been ter
minated" That paper holds that
under the difficult circumstances
confronting them the Army flyers
rendered a performance Of which the
service may be proud"
The Army flyers deserve congratu-
lations on several counts" according
to the San Francisco Chronicle. which
presents these points: al. For break
ing the Army's mail-carrying record
on the last trip across the continent,
as the contractors broke the trans
continental record on their last trip
when the contracts were Cancelled last
February. 2. For remarkably efficient
performance in job not the Army's,
for which Army pilots are not trained
and for which Army equipment Is un-
suited. 3. For getting back to the
Army's own job. 4. For the assurance
resulting from the tragic record OF
Army airmail flying and the disclosure
of inadequate equipment, that back
on its own job the Army will have
ample provision of improved equip
ment and organization"
The South Bend Tribune adds its
commentator with the statement:
The Army planes were not designed
for mail carrying and the pilots had
not been trained for that type of
service. Even SO, the unsolicited, dan
gerous assignment was accepted cheer
fully and courageously by the Army
flyers. Three of them established
speed record on the California New
Jersey route last Monday. With bet
ter equipment and more diversified
training, the spirited Army flyers OBJ
viouSly will give the Nation all that
it requires in aerial defense"

Music Good for All
But Not All Music
To the Editor OF The Star:

10 the EDITOR OF Inc star;
Ellen M. Smith, replying to my
letter regarding music in the home,
states that much music today seems
like mere noise to her and I agree
that jazz and the grooming music Is
obnoxious to many individuals. ! like
opera music and the choirs at the
churches because, unlike jazz, they
have a soothing influence upon the
emotions and the tangled nerves SO
prevalent in these chaotic days. 1t
is indeed unfortunate, but true, as
Miss Smith states, that many people
are inconsiderate of their neighbors
and have their radios on louder than
is necessary, and at all hours. How
ever, the fact that some people abuse
the use of music does not mean 1t Is
not an excellent influence in the
home because it keeps young people
away from detrimental outside agen.
cieS and also keeps that family circle
unbroken. However, all people are
not musically inclined and some
races like music better than others, so
my idea was not to thrust music on
any one, but only to show some form
OF entertainment was necessary in
homes to keep young people satisfied
and on the street corners and away
from undesirable associates.

Clipping of Dogs in
Summer a Cruelty
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The silly season for amateur dog
fanciers and canine pet owners has
arrived. From now on, day to day.
We shall have to look upon once beau
tiful collies and smart little scotties
clipped in imitation of the Mexican
hairless. All because of the ill-con-
ceived idts that it is cruelty to the
dog to permit him to wear that heavy
coat of fur in the good old Summer
time.
1t may be Of no particular impor-
tance to Rover's master that no dog
can ever grow q second coat of hair
comparable with the first; that no
dog which had ever been clipped
with the exception OF that monStroS-
ity, the French poodle-ever won a
prize at a recognized bench show.
Much, If not all, OF what he cares
about is his dogs physical welfare and
comfort, SO he clings to the obseSsion
that inasmuch as man doesn't subject
himself to the discomfort of fur coat
in Summer there Is no reason Why he
should infiict that punishment ca
upon his much-loved pet.
Humans discard as much as pos
sible and decent OF their outer gar
ments in hot weather for the reason
that our bodies perspire and we must
give the air access to our bodies to
facilitate evaporation, which is a cool
ing process. Otherwise, woolen un-
u f,,r ,r,n,,la anfrta 1lxy
protect us from the heat. Dogs do
not perspire-except from their
tongues and, to lesser degree, be-
tween their toes. To clip long
haired dog not only fails to add one
iota to his comfort but causes some
times acute suffering through exposure
Of his skin to the direct rays Of hot
sun and to the excruciations of gad-
flies and other parasitical insects.
Albert Terhune, world-renowned
breeder of collieS and widely read
author of dog stories, never sheared a
dog in his life-except in the event of
some malignant skin disease which
rendered that abomination necessary.
And it may be taken for granted that
Mr. Terhune loves dogs. Many time
has he sat up all night with sick
one. He would no more think of clip
ping q healthy collie than he would
of cutting off its tail.
If you own a dog, get it out of your
head-if it's there-that you can add
to his comfort during the coming
Summer by taking away his parasol
and his armOr against vermln. In
other words, please, have a heart!
For 40 years I have been breeder,
owner and fancier of long haired dogs.

mentary will be, ''I know. Why, last
year we went to Bar Harbor and"
The fact seems to be that people
are too busy to think. The abundant
nervous energy of the American race
stimulates constant, unremitting ex-
ercise of body and brain. Not even
the confinement Of a steamship en-
vironment changes the normal habit
Of the crowd. The more restricted
the opportunity for physical action,
the more talk there will be. Gregari-
BUSINESS also probably has much to
do with the case-strangers thrown
together in enforced idleness will
chatter like magpies. Day follows
day, on land or sea, and the rush
proceeds unchecked. It may be a
sign of immaturity, but it Is not an
indication OF racial retrogression.
Perhaps the people are too happy to
think, too hopeful to be Unfortunately
interpretive.

Keen Politics Out of It.

At his press conference Postmaster
General Farley announces that the
search for a successor to Judge Cobb
of the Municipal Court continues and
that an appointment will be made
when some one Is found who is a
good Democrat"
There is another essential qualifica-
ton, which is that the incumbent OF
this position should, first of all, be
"a good judge" The high principle
that the judiciary be kept free from
politics is one generally approved, and
should be strictly adhered to. Merit,
character and temperament are the
prime considerations which should
rule in selections for the bench.
There is another element which
should be weighed in this case. which
is the sentiment of the local COM
munity. That is always an important
consideration elsewhere. Judge Cobb's
eminent qualifications for q position
which he has held through two terms,

all sections of the local community.
Such Endorsement has been made ire

Blames Traffic Director
For Street Conditions
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor OF The star:
want to commend you for printing
and Mr.. Geiger for writing the arti-
Gle on the parking situation in The
Star of recent date. There IS no use
going over the situation again. The
real solution is to make change in
the Office of traffic director. The in
cumbents reign has been autocratic
to an extreme. full of experiments and
very often absolutely stupid. He has
harassed the Washington motorists in
one way and another about parking.
The city is just one solid line OF no
parking signs - time limit signs.
emergency signs. bus-stop signs, ship
ping-entrance signs, etc. Motorists are
forced to 60 way down to the Traffic
Bureau like bunch of criminals, and
the fine is doubled If more than one
ticket has been had in six months. or
maybe 1t is year. 1t certainly is easy
to get a ticket, no matter how hard
you try to avoid them. Five minutes
overtime or foot or two in a wrong
area will get you one.
So much is said about not parking
cars. so as to relieve congestion in
traffic! Few people are using the
streets Just for a ride. Most of them
have an object in view, but the more
you keep them milling around looking
for a place to stop the more traffic is
put upon the street.
If there was a little more system TO
traffic lights there would be less con-
gestion. Main highways should be
;ol, in, for
ten or twenty blocks and red light
for. say, one minute.
So here's for more reason and less
persecution over trivial matters, and If
our present traffic director does not
care to listen to the people that he is
supposed to serve, then give the job to
some one else
1t really makes no difference what
is done in other cities. Washington is
very much different from other cities.
Besides having wider and straighter
streets, I believe the city proper has
more apartment house dwellers than
most large cities, excepting New York.
A city of homes, of course, can have
private garages.
AS to theft of cars at night. A well
locked car is just as hard to steal at
night as at any other time. Also there
is a job for the police instead of put
ting tickets in cars. incidentally 1 had
car stolen in broad daylight about
four years ago, and it was abandoned
and stayed ON the street for three days
without lights within a block and a
half of a police station. So let us
motorists bother about our cars being
stolen and not the police.
II there were garage space for the
cars, which there certainly is not. in
spite of the figures given, it means an
added tax of, say, $3.50 a year. I call
it a tax because a tax in general Is
something a person Is made to pay.
