Did you get what good you could
out Of the cold weather?
We do not mean these atrociously
healthy persons who do cross-country
hiking when the thermometer is down
to zero, and come In patting them
selves upon the chest, and saying "Ah.
isn't this wonderful weather."
They forget, in their health, the
extra fuel cost Of really cold weather,
the increase in respiratory diseases,
the real misery which prevails among
the poor and among all persons
vaguely labeled "cold-blooded"
There Is no way of telling who Is
one of these cold-blooded human be-
ings and who is not. 1t Is not alto
gether a matter OF fat.
Fat persons may suffer from excess
cold-and near-zero In this vicinity
may be called excess cold without
much stretch of words.
No, the real gain of really cold
weather comes afterward, in the true
appreciation Of the pleasures Of mod
crate temperature.
contrast!
Contrast is one Of the real spices Of
life, of which man always claims to
want so much, but often fails to see
what he has.
The weather contrasts involved in
sudden fall Of so degrees overnight,
and the gradual return to more nor
NAL temperatures for Washington
and thereabouts, have several good
aspects, not the least of which is that
they do afford variety in Q rather
striking meteorological way.
Every one notices extreme cold to
the extent of talking about it. Many
never dignity rain in the same way.
A rain. they seem to feel. is trivial
occurrence. scarcely worth the atten-
ton of an important parsonage. Every
one. of course, is such to himself, but
some more So
Very cold weather. however, makes
every one talk about it.
The man who does not like it talks
about It. the man who does like 1t
talks great deal about It, even the
man Indifferent finds 1t an engaging
topic
Perhaps the chance of a record
low has a great deal to do with it.
Then, too, there is something prim-
itive to a degree In extremely cold
weather.
Man in the dim ages of the past
found cold something to reckon with.
1t scared itself. for cold and heat
seem very close together, in a sense,
into the very fiber of the race.
Zero weather, or close to it, is
something of novelty hereabouts
Few persons stop to think how seldom
does zero occur In Washington. Many
persons who are now middle aged
cannot recall more than two or at
most three times when the local ther-
mometers hit so low
There is all the lure OF a contest
then. something loved by mankind
through the ages. Contest and dan
ger these are mighty in human ap-
peal 1t is no wonder that men like
to talk of how cold it is, as well as
how hot 1t Is.

What one should never forget is
the good "in-between" temperatures
which do so much to make life happy
If the extreme cold of recent days
rivets our attention on moderate days

For Senator Kean

To ths Editor OF The Star:
While Senator Kean Is looking
into the matter Of Government clerks
driving their flivvers to work he
might really do the country and tax
payers . real service by investigating
and doing something about . system
that has grown up whereby the Gov
ernment Is furnishing, free Of cost,
expensive automobiles with chauf-
feurs to 50 many persons-Army,
Navy, legislative, judicial and execu-
tive, and even District ohcials. In
variably the recipients Of such un-
called-for luxurious service at Uncle
Sans expense are best financially
able to afford . car Of their own, or
to ride in . taxi. And when we see
fine-feathered ladies riding about
town in Uncle Sans expensive hmou-
sines ones imagination Is hard put to
thinking up some important Govern
ment business that could be afoot.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Farm leaders in Washington say
the Farm Credit Administration
comes nearer fulfilling expectations
than any other new deal set-up. Its
speed in getting emergency and long
time loans out to farmers has been
nearly breath-taking. and its near
freedom from political domination is
described as the marvel of the vari-
Gus Federal creations beneath which
Washington is alphabetically sub
merged. The indications are that
F. c. A. goes into 1894 to make a rec
ord Of aiding agriculture which will
be beyond anything else on the cal
endar. 1t is now extending farm
mortgage relief at the rate of more
than s8000.000 a day. as compared
with less than $3,000.0Oo a month in
1888.
One of President Roosevelt's callers
this week was Ellery Sedgwick, who Is
celebrating his silver jubilee as edi-
tor of the Atlantic Monthly. Be-
sides their MUTUAL interest in public
affairs, F.. D. r. and Sedgwick have
Groton and Harvard ties in common.
The Atlantic" editor taught at Gro
ton In the COS on the eve of the Pres
ident's prep school days, and was
graduated from Harvard in 1894. just
10 years before Mr.. Roosevelt left the
Yard"
Voting Of the greatest peace time
appropriations for the Nevy and for
military and naval aircraft marks q
decisive defeat for Americas anti
preparedness elements. Ever since
the World War these groups, well
financed and highly organized, have
systematically opposed measures look
ing to maintenance of national de-
tense at adequate levels. It was the
persistent pressure they brought to
bear on successive Congresses that
mainly caused the United States Navy
to lag far behind treaty dimensions.
Day in and day out the anti-pre-
paredness forces propagandized the
country against defense appropri-
ations. When the House Of Repre-
sentatives passed the $4,000, 900
naval bill without a record vote the
foes Of national life insurance met
their Waterloo.
Two Of our biggest corporations are
out with figures eloquently indicative
of recovery. United States Steel Cor
poration wage rates for the last quar-
ter Of 1888 averaged "a per cent
higher than in the like 1882 period,
the pay roll aggregating $48, 1852 $50,
against $29,l37,419. accounted for by
employment of additional men under
N. r. A. e. I. Du Pont De Nemours
& Co. report an increase of 10000, or
IS per cent, in the number of hourly
wage earners since the low point Of
1882. The Du Pont dollar volume of
business was ~ per cent higher in
1888 than the year before. Steel's
deficit for 1888 was $4,000, 900. a
against $71 ,000, 900 in 1882.
