It's all settled, the starlings

It wasn't so bad at first, not
until Metropolitan Police organ
ized tree climbing squads and
drove a few odd million from
downtown buildings up to Capitol
Hill.
Or maybe it was the opening
of Congress, which always sends
lots of persons and birds and
things up to the Hill: but any
way it is annoying to Congress-
men to hear the chirping and
tWittering of thousands of birds.
It's also hard on the cleaning

Under the plan Rouzer has
worked out, beginning next week.

blowing and buzzing at regular
intervals during the late after.

strategic positions around the

Rouzer doesn't know. But, at
least it's worth a try, he says.

port of Hearst Drive

Summer, 1917. 1t is nearing
midnight, and all is serene in the
National Capital. The heavy
heat of the day is replaced by
cooling breezes, and weary Wash
ingtonians have retired for the
night. One can hardly believe
that 5000 miles across the sea
millions are watchful, alert. ready
for a chance to send their foes to
an eternal sleep on bloody bat,
telfield.
In Washington, to, there is one
perhaps one of many--who can
not sleep. In front Of ner is q
constant reminder of the horrer
that is war. Pitching, tossing,
she hears the rumble Of ambu'
lances as they roll up to Walter
Reed Hospital across the street,
and each rumble is like a soaring
flame gripping at an aching
heart. She can hear faintly the
means of the wounded; tire shut
fling of feet; the rustic Of starched
uniforms; the closing of doors.
Lauds Hearst Campaign
It is with this picture in mind
that Mrs. Edythe M. O'Connor.
president of the District of Col-
umbia Department, American Le'
gion Auxiliary, today extended her
most heartfelt wishes for the sue
cess of the "Euy American, Don't
Buy From Defaulters" campaign
launched recently by the Hearst
newspaper organization.
Many hospital beds wherein
broken soldiers might win their
way back to health-or at least
useful position in society-are
empty because of this repudiation,
Mrs. O'Connor feels. And this is
done in the nam of economy!

NEW PLAN SEEN
FOR CENTER

Announcement of a new plan to
obtain money for construction Of
the first unit of the proposed
municipal center was made today
by Melvin C. Hazen, president Of
the Board of District Commits
Sioners.
The former plan to include an
item of $1,000,000 in the supple
mental estimates to be sent to
the budget bureau for inclusion in
the 1888 appropriation bill was
abandoned on advice of Major
Daniel j. Donovan, District audi
tor, who warned that such action
might result in overburdening the
budget in 1886 and 1887 in order
to continue the work.
Under the new plan, the re.
quest for $1,000,000 to begin the
work, to be appropriated out of
the expected 1885 revenue sur.
plus of S3,880.000, will be sent
to the Budget Bureau as a sep.
arate item, distinct from the
other $1,168,00O in supplemental
items.
Accompanying the request for
this million-dollar starting appro-
priation will be a legislative ap-
preparation that Congress enact
a law for the purchase of the
District Building by the Federal
Government, at a price which, il
was limited, will be in the neigh
borhood of $5,O00,OOO. This win
be used in continuing the work.

PreIate Upsets Anti-War Par
ley With Plea to Stick to
Domestic Affairs

Delegates to the ninth confer
ence on the Cause and Cure OF
War, at the Washington Hotel
were thrown into CONSERVATION to-
day. as the Rt. Rev. John A.
Ryan of Catholic University, de-
fled the organizations stand on
world cooperation as a means OF
preventing wars.
At a round table discussion late
today, the local educator declared
that attempts to make the ma
tions interdependent would inevl'
tably lead to conflict and possible
war.
Foreign Meddling Hit
He advocated that this country
should cease meddling in affairs
of the outside world, and should
instead concentrate upon domes
tic problems.
This was in sharp contrast to a
resolution adopted earlier in the
day, in which the conference went
on record as urging on the Pres1-
dent to recommend United States
membership in the League Court
Setting forth that there is
strong sentiment in this country
for this principle, the resolution
stated:
"We beg the President of the
United States to urge early
and favorable action upon the
United States Senate. Such
evidence Of positive approval of
international peace would slim.
ulate the faith Of the entire
world and be a recognition Of
the continuing public opinion
which exists in this country
for the World Court"
Senate Hearings Asked
The conference already has re-
quested a hearing before the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee to argue for United States
entrance in the World Court.
DR.. Mary E. Woolley, only
American woman delegate to the
Disarmament Conference at Ge'
neva during the Hoover admin
istration, stated to the confer
ence today that the question OF
disarmament is the most vital in
the world. She continued:
"Our present economic woes
are largely due to the futile
destruction Of the worlds
wealth in the building up Of
armamentS."

PUPILS WARNED
Of MEASLES

With 2O6 cases of measles re-
ported in the District since Janu-
ary /, health department officials
today warned parents to keep their
children away from all children
who appear to be suffering from
common colds.
Explaining that, in the early
stages, measles has the appearance
of a cold, DR.. William c.. Fowler
advised that the safest means of
preventing the spread of the dis
ease is to prevent contact with per-
sons who may be developing the
disease. The rash characteristic
of measles does not appear until
about four days after the onset Of
the cold, he said.
Of the total cases reported. 38
were reported in the past two days,
DR.. Fowler said. de added that
he does not believe the peak of
the disease has been reached, but
that there is little likelihood of an

of property at the delinquent tax
sale which closed yesterday, it was
announced today by Collector of
Taxes Chatham M. Towers. g.
Back taxes on the property
amounted to more than 81, ,000, 900.
Most of the property had to be

U. S. Air Director Says Site
Big Enough for Development
In Immediate Future

Washington's need of an i'm.
proved airport is so. great the
Government should see that it
gets one, even though the Dis
trict Commissioners refuse to
share it's expense.
That was the contention today
of Gene Vidal, aeronautic direc-
tor of the Commerce Depart
ment, when he appeared before
the House Military Affairs Com
mittee. The committee was hold
ing it's second hearing on the
McSwain bill, which provides for
commission to establish a bet
ter airport here.
Site Should be Adequate
Vidal predicted in another year
or two New York will be only
one hours flying time away. He
said large airports are things Of
the past and said he believed il
Military Road were closed at
Washington-Hoover Airport and
so additional acres we're taken
from the Experimental Farm, the
present site would be adequate.
Private flying will be largely
done, he predicted, in the future
from smaller airports and will
be prohibited at fields handling
commercial traffic. Vidal further
declared the Commerce Depart
ment has received many sharp
criticisms Of the local airport
from visiting foreigners, although
it is desirably close to the hotel
district.
The second witness called by
Chairman John j. McSWain (D.)
OF South Carolina, was S. j.
Solomon, manager of the Wash
lngton Airport and vice president
Of the National Airport Corpora
ton.
Not Anxious to Sell
He promised the Government a
fair and reasonable" price if
the field was purchased, but said,
since the project showed a net
profit of $4,000 between October
l and December 81, his firm is
not as anxious to sell as for
merly.
The airport proposal suffered its
biggest setback at the hands Of
Secretary of the Interior Ickes,
when the Public Works Admins.
traitor refused PWA funds for
the project.
Commenting on the application
filed with him for a grant of
$1,500,000 to develop the field,
Tckes said:
"They ask for S1,5OO,OO
for what? To put men to
work? NO-tO buy some real
estate. Personally, 1 do not
think this comes within the
scope of the Public Works

tennis became a national mania and
was taken away from the five or six

a furious row because the muckers

of cheering when a favorite player
won a point because his opponent

Love and Disaster

If country wants to be loved and to be celebrated in

the love he has for Ireland ITSELF and is characteristic
that when he chose passage from Ulysses" to read he
selected what virtually patriotic grafton.
Irish novel, "a Nest Of Simple Folk. impresses in the
way for is novel of Irish life tangled with three
generations of the struggle for freedom and love of Ire
land lives every page.
This beautifully written novel, beginning with little
boy and carrying him to old has the outstanding merit
to me, Of bringing poiticsthe struggle against England
in the first instance and the struggle for complete indie
pendence at the endas naturally into the plot it must
have into the lives of millions of rishmen. The hero
is altogether the wrong to be hero yet to free Ire
land he gives up all the ways Of his life.
