John Davis Not Led
By "Seeing Eve" Dog

70 the Editor Of The Star:
An article in The Star, page B-1,
issue Of November 2, headlined Blind
John Davis Injured When Seeing
Eye Fails Him." has Just come to our
attention.
Carelessness on the copy desk has,
I fear, resulted in an erroneous and
distinctly unfavorable statement. for
Mr.. Davis guide was not a Seeing
Eye dog. Naturally. We do not want
The Star to give us the partial. but
heavy, responsibility for the accident
which the headline plainly implies.
This Is particularly important because
proper public understanding Of our
work depends on full appreciation Of
the safety with which Seeing Eye
dog guides her master in traffic.
OF course, guide dogs educated and
adjusted to blind people by the See
ing Eye are not immune from the
possibility Of accident. But from our
experience during the past six years,
and from our knowledge of the sew
eral thousands of guide dogs working
in Central Europe during the past
fifteen years, We believe that with a
properly educated dog to guide him
and with adequate instruction in her
use q blind man has less chance of
injury in a traffic accident than II he
had eyes.
We appreciate that The Star makes
every effort to write news accurately
and, while We do not ask for a correc-
ton, we are confident that you will
make the best Of your first bppor-
tunity to correct the impression which
your headline has created.

Lord Mayors Day.

November 9 is Lord Mayors day in
London. and a grand and glorious time
is had by all. The pageantry of the
occasion invariably is memorable; the
scene at the Law Courts, where the
newly elected official takes the oath.
is a spectacle worthy of everlasting
remembrance. From the Guildhall to
the Mansion House and thence to the
royal halls OF justice the streets are
decorated with flags and bunting:
Cornhill, Fleet street and the Strand
are ablaze with color. The procession
itself is q magnificent sight. Among
the marchers are the members of the
ancient craft guilds wearing the cos

TUNES Of Tudor times or earlier; the
Aldermen and the Onicers of the
Corporation in glittering carriages;
the retiring Mayor with his liveried
attendants; the city trumpeters and
the mounted band Of the Royal Horse
Guards, and finally the Lord Mayor
himself, attired In scarlet and gold
and riding In q famous gilt chariot
drawn by six prancing steeds and sur
rounded by marshals and servants
mounted and on foot. A banquet
closes the festivities.
This year, Americans may care to
know, the central feature of the annual
exhibition will be Dickens pantomine
with tableaux on floats depicting
scenes from the great 1iovelist's works
the Pickwickians' journey to Roches-
ter, Bardell versus Pickwick. Oliver
Twist asking for more. Little Nell and
her grandfather, etc.
But the show, be 1t splendid or
commonplace, Is unimportant as COM
pared with the freedom which 1t
symbolizes. Back Of all the display
is the institutionalized liberty OF the
metropolis. 1t is civic spirit which
Is on parade-the love Of Londoners
for their city and their determine
ton to maintain its independence,
its peace and its prosperity. A king
theoretically rules the nation, but his
power is stayed at Temple Bar. Much
more real than the imperial SOW
ereignty is democratic government
centered In the Guildhall. And the
man who becomes mayor today, be
it noted. Is Sir Stephen Killik, "a
1884 counterpart Of Dick Whiting
ton," once an offlce boy at five shill-
ings q week. The majority of his
six hundred and eleven predecessors
in Office were "commoners" like him
self with nothing but their own
genius and the opportunity of citi-
zenship to account for their eleva-
ton to administrative eminence.
The people Of Washington, perhaps,
will not be interested. Disenfran-
chiSed classified with ~japs ipsopa
and criminals. they have no elected
officers Of their own choosing; they
probably would not appreciate a fes-
tival like London is having today.
Such, in any case, is the doctrine Of
those who imagine that q condition
of peonage is proper for residents of
the Capital Of the United States, q
government established on the propo-
sition that all men are created equal.

Submissiveness with which many other
moves of dictatorship were accepted.

There are thousands Of lilacs which
have been in one position fos at least
five years without doing anything par
ticular to reward the interest OF the
gardener in them.
One fine feature Of the barberry Is
that 1t bears no flowers of any conse-
quence to throw the owner of the
track.
Is 1t not true that much garden
space is given up, even in the smallest
gardens, to plants and shrubs which
have beautiful flowers but for q very
short season?
The glorious peony is one Of these.
No one would discount this majestic
shrub for its comparatively short
blooming season. but 1t must be ad-
mitted that 1t occupies . great deal Of
space In the small garden.
The gardener expects blossoms Of
his peonies, and these blooms are Of
such surprising beauty that he does
not begrudge the plants the space
they occupy.
The humble barberry has no such
cnermS 10 exhibit.
1t depends upon its character Of
growth and good. almost evergreen
foliage, for its appeal.
These amply repay the gardener for
the position he gives the bushes. The
berries and coloration of foliage and
canes at this time Of year are, in
truth, the blooms" of the barberry.
1t is q real Autumn when, in addi-
ton to the yellows and reds Of naples
and oaks, the barberry bushes turn
the exact tints which display them
best to an admiring world.
This change Is almost magical in its
quickness. One evening the bushes
may be as usual in the morning they
may have taken on subtle tints Of red,
orange and green. blending, mingling,
SO that the ordinary appearing bush
Of the day before has stepped out"
into the scintillating world Of horti-
cultural fashion.
These few words in praise of q
sometimes undervalued bush are said
mainly to convince q few doubters
that this is not Just q commonplace
shrub, despite its wide planting, but
really valuable and beautiful bit Of
plant material for the average garden.
Experiments are being made in sew
eral nurseries with q new evergreen
form which Is said to be able to resist
zero weather in any part Of the coun-
try.
In view Of what happened here last
Winter and the wonderful record Of
the ordinary barberry in pulling
through. it may be believed that 1t Is
resistant enough for this location.
Let us forget that the barberry, rs
the privet, has been rather over
planted. 1t Is impossible to keep peo-
pie from planting something good

Halloween Is an

repairs and replacements has already
been considerable. Some Of my neigh

On the following morning the alleys

broken bottles were strewn from one
end to the other, automobiles were
damaged, smeared with paint and
soap. tires Debated and caps removed.
I can see little difference between such
wanton destruction and the ruination
Of property caused by riots In other
cities during the strike periods.
There were also three false fire
alarms pulled during the evening
which brought trucks, engines and
ladder companies to the corner, only
to f1nd that the alarms had been
called by the bands of hoodlums oper-
ating in the section. Far be it from
me to protest against the innocent
fun OF the youngsters OF our neighbor-
hood. but the disaster and wreckage
that fell to the eyes of the citizens on
the morning Of November l last
should be prevented in the future.

Banks Deposit Charges
Work Serious Hardships
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
I read In The Star for Sunday,
November 4, the summary Of the
charges to depositors which the
washington Clearing House ASS0cia-
ton has decided to put In force In
this city. I have Q very high appre-
citation Of bankers. They have gen.
orally given me good advice and good
service. The local bank with which
deal has been courteous and EN-
Client. have no disposition to blame
all bankers for the unwise policies and
practices of certain powerful forces
within the banking ranks, but I do
believe these charges to the depositor
are rnwise and that they will do
great harm both to the banks and
to the country.
First, this requirement that the de-
positor shall keep . certain reserve
freezes money in the banks which
ought to be In circulation. While
this may seem small In the individual
case the sum total for q city the size
OF Washington IS very large. Second,
these charges penalize the small de-
poSitor who needs to use every dollar
that he has. In favor of the large
depositor who finds 1t easy to keep
considerable reserve. Third, the plan
discourages people from forming the
banking habit, which Is usually es-
tablished when people are young and
have small means. It will take time
Tor this influence to be felt, but ten
or twenty years from now it may be
very great. Fourth, this plan of fore
Ing depositors to keep larger balances
than are really necessary discourages
the payment of bills. People hold
their bills over until the next month
rather than write the additional
checks which would compel q service
charge. Fifth. the plan works to the
disadvantage OF the small merchant
and tends to force the concentration
of buying In order to avoid writing
the additional checks. Sixth, this
practice deepens the antagonism Of
the public against the bankers at the
very time when every one should Join
In an effort to restore confidence and
when banking practices should en-
courage that confidence.
The situation Is q varied one and
different people look at the matter
from different points Of view. but I
am convinced from personal conversa-
tion with depositors that there Is
ground for every statement in this
letter. Is it wise public policy in
this time Of emergency to ix upon
the public practice 80 doubtful as
this special charge against the small
depositor? Many American schools
followed the practice Of cooperating
with the local banks In q plan of
savings for school children. Can the
schools go on with such . practice
II the banks are going to follow poll
cies which will discourage the use of
banks by people with modest means?
