SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Ship Alloy!

Ship Alloy!
It's sailor here and sailor there!
Preparing for trip,
Longfellow wrote exceeding fair
Of Launching of a Ship"
Well sing "Yo no" and Nancy Lee"
And sail the bounding main,
Uplifting sounds of vocal glee
When Jack comes home again.
A pleasure it has been to meet
That jolly old-time crew,
Josephus Daniels we will greet
And Richmond Hobson, too.
One apprehension still is hid
Beneath joyous scene,
We hope Wen meet no Captain Kidd
Out in a submarine.

Expenses of University Students
BY FREDERIC ]. HASKIN.

The amount of money which a stu
dent at an American university spends
! depends almost entirely on how much
! he has to spend. That Is regarded as
practically automatic, the average
age of college students being a period
in which the impulse to have as good
! time as possible is fairly dominant.
| An entire section of American humor
has been built around the rich mans
son in college. His astonishing at
| tire, his escapades, his various enthu-
siasms, all have gone into the COM
posite saga.
The great Eastern schools such as
Harvard, Yale and Princeton probably
viii show a high average rate of stu
den. expenditure, although there is
not a college which does not have
students working their way through
! on the thinnest possible allowance,
! with the aid of scholarships and by
means Of other aids Probably the
| best picture, representative of a ma
tional average, would have to be
drawn from a typical Middle Western
| institution. Now that the universe
| ties are turning out into the world
fresh crop of alumni, all set to
put the world on its feet, it may be
| interesting to show the investment
which had been made in these hope
fuls.
BY good fortune a most careful
! study has been made by the School
of Commerce of the North Dakota
University. This is an institution
! fairly typical of the great Central
portion Of the Nation. 1t is CO.
| educational and attended by students
in many economic walks of life. In
a word, 1t is possible, through this
study, to show how much money
! these students have spent in their
years at school and what they spent
it for.
To begin with, a differentiation is
made between those resident In Grand
Forks. where the university is located,
| town. Members of the former class
presumably live al The homes Of their
| parents and are, therefore, under less
expense.
1t is shown that for the local stu
dents the average cost from Septem-
Der to June - the school year -
amounts to 1912 for men. The home
town girls spend less, for the figure
for them Is S277 An important sub
division is made between the students
belonging to fraternities or sororities
and engaging in the larger social life
which such membership invites. The
man who belongs to a fraternity
spends S402 in the school year and
the girl 1892.
Cost of Social Activities.
Some of the out-of town students
may commute, some board at school
| dormitories or elsewhere in the town.
In any event they must be prepared
TO spend more money. For the men
who do not belong to fraternities, the
school year expenditure amounts to
| $536. For fraternity members, it runs
up to 1927. For the out-of-town girl,
not a member of a sorority, the an
nual outlay is S464 and for the men,
Der, S683. 1t will be noted that the
student spending the most money is
the girl from out-of-town who be-
longs to social organization.
The lowest expenditures are those
Of the hometown girl who does not
belong to sorority: the highest. those
Of the out-of-town girl who does. As
suming four-year course, the first
girl spends a total of $I,108, while
| the latter spends 81. .722.

Capital Sidelights
BY WILL r. KENNEDY.

BIZ WILL II. AENNEDY.
The stupendous Capital develop
ment and identification now progress
ing so rapidly, the magnitude and
importance of which can now be
visualized, bring to mind the long
years of devoted service by several
who are nc longer members Of Con-
gress, but who were leaders In bring
ing about these projects. One Grand
Old Man" still in the service of his
country, who will long be remembered
gratefully by residents Of the Capital
and by the people of his native State
-Virginia-is former Representative
R. Walton Moore of the Mount ver-
non district, now Assistant 0ecretary
Of State.
He initiated the effort for construc-
ton of the new House Once Build
ing when in 1925 he introduced a
resolution. which was passed, appro-
priating a small amount to have a
study made of conditions in the old
House Of1ce Building and the ex-
pediency Of enlarging accommoda-
tions for members of the House. The
investigation showed it was impera-
tive that something should be done
and Mr.. Moore introduced measure
for the erection of a new building,
which passed the House on March
/, 1927, Just before adjournment of
the Sixty eighth Congress. and was
defeated by a Senate filibuster on
other legislation. Substantially the
same bill was introduced in the next
Congress by Representative Frederick
Dallinger of Massachusetts,, now a
Federal judge, who was then a mem
ber of the House Committee on
Public Building and Grounds. This
bill became a law on January TO-
1929.
Walton Moore was also very active
for more than decade to promote
the construction Of memorial high
way from Mount Vernon, the home
of George Washington, to the Capital
City which he founded, and for a
memorial bridge spanning the Po-
tbmac River between the Lincoln
Memorial and Arlington National
Cemtery. emblematic of the bridging
over and cementing the breach be-
tween the North and the South. His
bill which resulted in the Mount
Vernon Boulevard was enacted in
1928. This memorial bridge and
highway have been recognized as the
most beautiful and finest driveway
in the world-approximately IS miles
in length.
In securing Congressional action
Mr.. Moore worked in close co-opers-
ton with Senator Claude Swanson
of Virginia, now Secretary of the
Navy, of whom he has often said
as a close student of history-''No
State ever had a more effective Sen
ator." He has made frequent ac-
knowledgement also of the success
full efforts of former Representative
Richard N. Elliott Of Indiana. now
assistant controller general Of the
United States, who was chairman OF
the House Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds at the time
when the House Once Building
Arlington Memorial Bridge and Mount
Vernon Boulevard projects were un-
der consideration, and who is himself
directly responsible for sponsoring the
herculean Federal building program
now taking monumental place on the
south side of historic Pennsylvania
avenue.

Britain Indifferent
To Affairs i'm Ireland
BY A. G. GARDINER.

LONDON, June 16.-The midst Of
the vast questions of disarmament,
debts, European turmoil and Far East
ern menaces, 1t is remarkable how
completely Ireland has passed from
the stage of British politics. In pre-
home rule days it was the ceaseless
preoccupation of parliament and the
press.
Whatever government was in power
and whatever clouds were on the world
horizon, it was Ireland that held the
center Of the stage and the Irish
brigade in the House of Commons that
kept parliament feverishly alive. No
matter how remote the subject Of the
moment was from Ireland, It was
complicated by the action Of the Irish

Public Building Needs.


Plans for the proposed extension of
the executive offices, west of the
White House, have been changed, so
that the addition will be constructed
to the east of the building now de-
voted to clerical uses, with a further
enlargement in the form of a "pent
house" second story upon the present
structure These alterations of plan,
it is believed, will minimize the effect
Of detracting from the historic White
House, itself one of the most attrac-
tive structures in Washington. Pend
ing the construction work the clerical
force and the administrative Offices
will be accommodated in the White
House proper, thus returning tenn
porarily to the original system OF
tranSacting all the executive business
in the mansion itself.
These arrangements may be only
temporary, for the plan is contem-
plated of making over as an executive
Office the one-time tri-department
building to the west, now occupied by
the State Department and part of the
War Department. That, however,
cannot be accomplished until new
homes are provided for both of those
branches of the Government. At
present no definite step has been
taken to that end, no decision having
been reached as to sites and no al
location of funds made for their &C
QUESTION or for construction. But it
may be taken for granted that moves
IN that direction will soon be made,
for the need of these two buildings
and another for the Navy Depart
ment-now housed uncomfortably
and inadequately in the Munitions
Building" erected in wartime emer-
gency-is urgent.

has cost the Government heavily In
the past and will cost it still more
heavily in the future. There is no
economy in delay. Just now the need
of completion of the broad general
project Of housing the administrative
activities is especially felt, for the en-
largement of the forces incident to the
new deal developments has congested
all existing accommodations and a
heavy overflow has been occasioned.
Decisions as to sites can be made as
wisely now as later. Where sites have
been specified, as in the case of the
structures to occupy the Mall-Avenue
triangle, procrastination is needless
and costly.
The parks are still Uttered with
wartime structures, hastily erected
and now actually dangerous to the
health of their occupants. The archi-
tectural unity of the Government
equipment is marred by unfinished
and postponed projects. The Capital
presents a ragged, unkempt aspect.
Every new building undertaken here
gives work for thousands, mainly in
the States. The money that is spent
on constructions in completion of the
Capital plan flows into industry and
trade and aids in the national recov-
cry. Now is the time to go ahead to
make complete job of the work of
Capital making.

FRAUDS against the Government b.
those within the service were rare so
years ago.
Frauds Against One such was
The Government. borsv.r cUr.r COW IN
mitted by employees of the Navy
Department. The Star of June 20
| 1884, says:
1T has been claimed that Treasury
| bookkeeping was so perfect as to make
fraud impossible. Faith in this asser-
ton has, however, received something
of a shock by the disclosures Of the
past few days, and the heads of de-
partments should set reform en- foot
at once-and for the protection OF
employees as well as the GoVeTnm1nt.
For it is a well-underStood fact that
there is no defense for the integrity
of those intrusted with money like
certainty that any irregularities will
be quickly and surely discovered. IL
some Offices, as, for instance, the paper
money bureau, the internal and
postage stamp divisions and the
like, such a system of checks and
balances exists as to make detection
! necessarily follow theft or carelesSneSS
and as a result the enormous transac-
tions of these Offices are carried OF
without loss or scandal.
AT a time like the present II is
proper to say that the financial
transactions of the Government as
whole are marked by extraordinary
honesty. Critics and jurists are fond
of insisting that the Government
should be run on business principles.
but it is doubtful if the same vast
volume of business is handled any
where in the world with such personal
integrity and at so little loss from
raScality. There flows in and out of
the Treasury the almost tnconceivable
volume of a business Of $4,000, GOO 6
day and the amount which fails tC
reach its legitimate destination is
absolutely insignificant in its ratio to
the mass. 1t is pretty certain that
any syndicate Of capitalists repre-
senting an aggregate of seven hundred
millions active capital would be very
glad to contract to have their business
transacted with no greater loss rom
theft or CareleSneN than Is similarly
lost to the Government yearly through
its employees"

Harold Hjortnas Writes
 From Danish Home

Harold Hjortnas, former To- cal restaurant owner, writes to local friends from his family home in Lokken, Denmark, that he is now engaged in the fishing business on the North Sea and doing we'll. His ves- sel, a 50-fo'ot, 55 h. D. motor ship is named Alaska" and appears in an accompanying snapshot to be decidedly trim and sturdy vessel.
 Fishing is done by means of large seines of the "purse" type, which are hauled in by the ships winch. Hjortnas states that the whole process of casting the net and hauling it in with its load of fish takes normally from three to four hours. He and his partner have caught as high as two tons of fish in one cast, the let ter states. Most of them are too small for commercial pur- poses and are thrown back.
 Big founders, or "red-spots," as they are called over there, owing to having red spots on their backs, bring, MT. Hjort- mas states, from "50 to 75 cents good American money per pound,' indicating that fish are much higher priced there than in Alaska.
