The Report Cards Delivered.

When her rescuers had lifted the
little Robles girl out of the pit in the
desert and removed the shackles from
her bruised limbs, the news stories
say. she tried to walk. but of course
she could not. AS they started away
she called on them to stop. II want
my report cards." she said. II got
two ones and must show it to
mother"
She was carrying her report cards
home when she was kidnapped. nine
teen days before she was found. The
terrible interlude was over. The
important business Of life was to be
resumed. The report cards must be
carried home and shown to mother,
for that is what the teacher says
must be done.
All that seems to matter now Is that
the little girl has been found, and
the chances are that under loving
care the scars left by the shackles-
and. deeper still, those left by
memory-will heal.
Unfortunately, that is not all that
matters. But those who are search
ing for the men who perpetrated this
crime lack nothing to spur them on.

conclusively indicate the will and the
ability Of the New Wcrld to he master

an arms embargo or other means, war

their sister republics of the Americas
that they submit their case to

Parking Ban Would
Force Garage Building
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
read S. r. Candano's article in
the editorial page of Fridays Star
and am very much In favor of his
idea.
He certainly is right when he says
that any one who has a car and can't
afford to pay rs cents a day for a
garage and a few pennies for in
surance on the car Is q menace to
the city"
It is said that If the overnight
parking ban were put into effect there
would be no place to accommodate
all the cars. In the first place If the
ban were put into effect, many owners
of cars which are practically junk
would be forced to get rid of them:
for their cars wouldn't be worth the
rental expenses Setting this point
aNide; what would have to be done
to accommodate the oversupply Of
cars? Garages would have to be built.
And what does this mean? Work
would be open for carpenters, brick
layers and laborers.
If the overnight parking ban were
put into effect 1t would mean that
garages for houses built hereafter
would be prerequisite. This would
tend to reduce the number Of pigeon
houses" built-houses with only suf-
f1cient space to get the required rooms
in, much less a garage.
Just look around in the city and
notice the appearance Of many alleys
with dilapidated sheds dominating
space. Just picture in their places,
garages, and see II there wouldn't be .
different appearance.

Hospital Critics Mostly
Ignorant of Conditions
To the Editor of The Star.

10 the Editor OF The Star.
For 80 years I have had contact
with hospitals in several large cities
along the Atlantic coast and l have
learned that most of the criticism re-
garding hospitals comes from those
who are ignorant of the conditions
and safety of the patient and who
evidently think money can buy health
and happiness.
Margaret R. Nagle in her recent
letter to The Star would have us be-
lieve that it is only ward patients who
have painful, sleepleSs nights and are
cared for by undergraduate nurses.
A patient in a private room is not
immune from pain and frequently has
the same nurse as do those in the
wards The duty of any nurse, whether
a graduate or an undergraduate. is
to obey the orders of the physician.
The duty and main object of the ply
sician is to relieve suffering and pro-
long the life of the patient. Were
doctors and nurses as incompetent
the above correspondent would have
us believe there would not be thcu-
sands Of people leaving the hospitals
well. happy and forever grateful to
nurses and doctors for their untiring
efforts to restore them to health. To
me 1t Is a very shallow mind which
thinks that a woman would spend
three or four years in arduous work
and study Just to flirt with doctors
and internes. Why Is this particular
type Of flirting more desirable than
with any other well-grooned, intel
igent man?
Nothing is 50 injurious to a patient
as fault-finder, whether It be visitor
or q patient. II you are a patient.
don't make others in the hospital un-
happy with your unjust criticisms. II
you are visitor, take the sick
rose and leave them with smile.

board" while covering the many long
miles between these two cities by
sketching members of plantation
households. I also read how he al
ways hurriedly sketched the profile
of each customer coming into the
bakery. In fact, 1t was while thus
employed that he made the acquaint-
ance of a teacher at the female semi
nary at Marion who recognized him to
be a genius and. upon his recon-
mendation. Marschall went to this
seat Of aristocracy and learning to
make his home. He soon became q
teacher at the seminary there, where
he taught painting, violin, piano and
French and German. The word "ro-
nance" caused me to pause sufficient
ly long to read that he wooed and
wed Matte Marshall, beauty of anti
bellum days.
I vaguely remember reading that
he at one time resided in Washington,
where he maintained q studio. but
since my memory does me a past
middle-age" trick ON this, I'll not
tread on uncertain ground by stating
this as fact. But, after cropping
around in the dark recesses of my
memory, I do recall him as being one
Of the greatest portrait painters Of
the United States, having painted
many Confederate leaders, and prac-
ticallv every President from Grant to
Theodore Roosevelt.
From a veteran of the Civil War
feebly awaiting the sounding of TAPS"
1 listened to many equally interesting
Marschall. This name seemed to
carry him back few generations to
gunpowder and deprivations, as all
but sat with bowed head while he
related Marschall's life to me- Many
things touched me profoundly, but
impressing me most indeHbly was,
though Prussian by birth, he must
have been a Southerner at heart, as
he was among the first to enlist as q
private of volunteers when war was
declared, and served in the Confed-
crate Army and until the curtain was
finally drawn.
Now. whether there has ever been
a dispute regarding the designer of
the flag, this I do not know. But.
do know that it would be impossible
to convince those living in the deep
South that any one other than Nicola
Marschall designed the flag that
rightfully receives its share of patri-
otic reverence as it waves profdly
over the cradle Of the Confederacy at

Better Work for Science
Than Dog Experiments
10 the EDITOR of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
have been reading the articles
printed in your paper on killing and
bringing back to life of dogs in the
experimental laboratories of the med
ical profession. It Is really astound-
ing to think Of the extreme measures
theSe men of medicine will take.
The terrible results that would be
the outcome of such practice, tamper-
ing with the delicate mechanism of
the brain and nerve centers, would
only add to the great percentage Of
mental and nervous wrecks we now
see about US. Why enlarge this class?
Why not concentrate on cures for
cancer and infantile paralysis, for
which up to the present time there
has been nothing definite done, and
give up this useless torture Of ami
mails which has never brought US any
knowledge and never will. contrary to
all reports? Statistics give US all the
proof we need. MARY =. CLARK.

The War in the Chaco.

Having failed in its own efforts to
put a stop to the sanguinary Para
guayan-Bolivian conflict, the League
of Nations Commission that was
charged with that task in desperation
now calls upon the world at large,
especially "the American continent"
to join in ending the hostilities. The
commission specifically recommends
an embargo on arms shipments to the
belligerents if they persist in refusing
to arbitrate their differences. The
State Department is studying that
proposal, but beyond a -committal
statement that the United States is
prepared to do anything that is ''feasi-
ble," Secretary Hull gives no indica-
tion of this country's attitude.
At the Montevideo conference last
Winter, the American Secretary of
State intimated that he did not look
with favor upon the idea Of letting the
League of Nations function as an ar
bitter of purely American questions like
the Chaco controversy. If the twenty
one Americas are to justify the con-
tention that they alone are entitled
to direct the destinies of the Western
World, free from interference by the
League or other outside influences,
they have an indubitable duty to clear
for action in the interminable con-
flict between Paraguay and Bolivia.
Not only has that struggle bled each
of the two little countries almost white,
but its continuance is an enduring
threat to peace throughout Latin
America.
It is in plain realization of that
peril that the A. B. c. P. powers,
Argentina, Brazil, Chile and PERU
on the initiative of Brazil, are now
studying a new peace move. To the
extent that circumstances permit, it

Mothers day has again given oppor-
tunity to the sons of women to pay
homage to the mothers who bore
them. From a sense of duty or with

squirming in discomfort. struggling to
rise, to free herself from sheer phys
ical domination. would you stand idly
by? No, indeed you would not. There
isn't a mothers son of you who
wouldn't rush to her rescue and tackle
the man. Further, you would invoke
the arm of the law to help you place
the outlaw where he belonged and ask
restitution for such an indignity to
your motherl Yet everywhere, in
greater or less degree, mothers-all
women-are in subjection, held down
by determinations which men do not
suffer and which men will not re-
move. You see all this and you hand
mothers a rose. If you will come to
the rescue and help to lift your wives,
mothers and daughters to the level of

AS Olive Schreinef so clearly pointed
out in her Illuminating book. Woman
and Labor: without the reaction OF
interevolution between the sexes, there
can be no real and permanent ad-
vance; without the enlarged, deep
thinking Eve to bear him, no enlarged
Adam; without the enlarged, widely
sympathizing Adam to beget her, nc

without an enlarged Adam and an en-
larged Eve, no enlarged generation OF

Euolgies Of the late william H.
Woodin emphasize his reassuring
calm and cheerfulness and his loyalty
to the President during his brief ten
ure as Secretary of the Treasury
through the dark early days Of the
Roosevelt administration.
For his indomitable struggle in a
great emergency" declares the New
York Sun, Mr. Woodin will be CRATE
fully remembered by his countrymen.
The President must ever recall him as
the loyal friend who stood by him in
the darkest days of his administra-
ton. To the personal friends of Mr..
Woodin emphasize his reassuring
acter will be a precious and indelible
memory"
when the history of the period
comes to be written" according to the
Roanoke World-News, will Woodin
will have a high place, especially for
his services during the banking crisis
and in strengthening the position of
the Treasury to enable 1t to with
stand without difficulty the enormous
covery program" Recognition of his
important place in a great crisis is
given by the Atlanta Constitution, the
Asbury Park Evening Press and the
Bloomington Paragraph.
The Newark Evening News pays the
tribute: If circumstances did not
permit Mr.. Woodin to leave his i'm
press on the Treasury and make a
name for himself as its Secretary, his
calm and cheerfulness were valuable
qualities, much needed at the time
The whole country was distressed and
bewildered. The Presidents financial
ideas and those of Mr.. Woodin were
not in complete accord. But the
waters of the Treasury we're unruff1ed
Mr.. Woodin's serenity and loyalty
helped to create an atmosphere of
confidence. It is for these human
qualities which help maintain a ma
tion's morale that Mr.. Woodin will be
best remembered, while his patient
courage under aff1iction that gave lit
tie reason for hope add admiration
and respect"
He helped to provide the cooper
alton and courage so essential to uni
fed and effective administrative action
during a crisis" says the Denver
Rocky Mountain News, and the Dams
bury News Times asserts that "the
passing Of such a man will always
produce sorrow and the wish that he
might have been longer spared. The
New Orleans Times -Picayune places
him 'in the forefront of battle dur
ing the first stormy months that fol-
lowed the Inauguration"
The Baltimore Sun observes that he
"took office at q dark hour in Ameri-
can history and served modestly, effi-
GENTLY and we'll" The Los Angeles
Times credits him with being largely
responsible for the melioration Of the
Nations financial status at q critical
time" That his death was hastened
by his prodigious labor is the conclu-
sion of the Fort Wayne Journal Ga
zette and the Altoona Mirror.
Few public men," thinks the
Wilkes-Barre Times-Leader, occupy
q niche quite like the one reserved for
the late William H. Woodin. A great

Many persons are not as dumb as
they seem. They simply belong to
that vast group to whom a sudden
firing of question is confusing.
Maybe they become red in the face.
or look vastly guilty.
They are not ignorant, nor are they
at fault in any way, except that they
somehow do not know how to handle
the abrupt questioner.
The latter most often mistakes
them. One may wonder If the reputa-
tion OF successful criminal lawyers
does not rest somewhat on this basis,
and. II it does, 1t is too easily won.
For there is no more guilty looking
wretch alive than the highly intelli-
gent Templeton Jones when a new
conner to the city stops and asks him
a direction.
All sense of location leaves him.
He cannot, for the life of him,
answer in that offhand, accurate way
which distinguishes some street gamin.
He knows, but he cannot think.
The sudden demand upon him has

If the stranger had made a more
indirect approach, had said something
about 1t being a pleasant day, Jones
would have had no difficulty.
With the question popped at him, he
is unable to speak.
He realizes that the newcomer must
think him ignorant. but he cannot
help that The fellow will have to
put up with him. until his sense Of
location comes back to him.
"How do you get to" and the man
asks for a building which Jones has
known all his life.
II friend had asked him, in casual
conversation. he would have been able
to answer instantly, without the slight
est hesitation.
Now he hens and haws. If he does
anything at all. but the chances are
that his mind goes entirely blank.
The harder he tries to remember,
the less his mind functions, and this is
quite in accordance with the philos-
ophy of the late M. Coue.
Templeton Jones had often asked
himself the why Of all this.
Could it be that he did not like
strangers?
Yet he had met thousands Of per-
sons over the years, and had not ex-
perienced any more trouble in talking
to them than he did to old acquaint-
ances.
No, he concluded, it must be some
thing about the sudden question.
A great many people. he knew. we're
great deal worse off than himself,
because he had tried to talk to them,
and often could not get a word out of
them.
Give him just few seconds to re-
cover himself. Jones always could d.
rect questioner Alright in the Ma
tional Capital.
Some poor souls, however, did not
seem to be able to speak at all, when
addressed by stranger.
Jones had to take few seconds to
recover but after that he was of like
shot. pointing out the way TO any
spot Of historical interest.
Fire the question at him suddenly,
however. and you had cause to think
him quite dumb
At times it really appears as if the
more deeply person tries to think,
the less ready he will be at repartee
The brazen human being is never at
loss for an answer. The conceited
man ordinarily is pompous in speech
as well as in appearance. But the
modest human being is just as likely
to be an Indifferent speaker and may
not be able to answer back as readily
as some one with scarce half his gen.
