A Bigger Regatta
Deserving of Cooperation

It is particularly appropriate that plans thus far
nounced for the Presidents Cup Regatta to be held in
September envisage more extensive and more attrac
tive water carnival than has marked the regatta in pre-
yious years.
The reason that the extension of the regatta this
year assumes such significance is the fact that this
year marks the successful launching Of the Districts
effort reclaim the Potomac River through construc
tion of adequate sewage disposal plant.
The plan to extend the regatta into four days,
bning other water sports with the boat racing which
heretofore has been the only feature of the regatta is
but foretaste of the pleasures which will become gen.
eral to Washingtonans after the sewage plant begins
functioning.
THOSE WHO IN THE PAST HAVE BEEN IN
CHARGE OF STAGING THE REGATTA AND
THOSE WHO ARE NOW In CHARGE, DESERVE
THE UTMOST CONTEMPLATION FOR THE MAN.
NER IN WHICH THEY HAVE SUCCEEDED IN ES-
TABLISHING THE REGATTA DESPITE THE DIS
COURAGEMENT WHICH THEY HAVE MET IN
REGARD TO THE CONDITION OF THE RIVER
They have been and are undaunted by the lack of
proper development of the stream haven for
pleasure boats. '.-'...'.
They have succeeded annually in attracting to the
National Capital the true lovers OF boat racing and
have given to Washington distinctive attraction which
has brought thousands of visitors to the CITY,
With the more elaborate program which is contem
plated for this year there is every reason to expect
that the crowd of visitors will be larger than and
that Washingtonans will be appreciatve than
they have been in the past.
The enlarged program will mean that the Presidents
Cup Regatta Association will need the active coopera
hon of greater number of our citizens.
THAT COOPERATION SHOULD AND UNDOUBT
EDLY WILL BE GIVEN.
IN RETURN FOR THE COOPERATION THE AS
ISOLATION WILL. GIVE TO THE CITY FOUR DAYS
OF EXCELLENT SPORT OF A KIND WHICH 1T
TOO SELDOM ENJOYS.

tine and in addition to gaining
the other benefits to be de-
rived from a holiday to regain
their prospective.
This some of the Cabinet have
done and all might well have
done. Mr.. Roosevelt wished
them also, by getting out of
Washington, to get closer
contact with those Americans
in all parts of the country who
are not on the Federal pay roll
either as office-holders or as
relief recipients. And there are
millions of such Americans still
left in the country. In fact,
they constitute the great body
of taxpayers.
Away From Work
BY sending the Cabinet on va
cation and by going on an ex-
tended cruise for such a substi-
tute for a vacation as a Presi-
dent is able to get from the
arduous duties of his exalted
office, Mr.. Roosevelt apparently
sought also to wean the public
from that increasing dependence
upon the Federal Government
that is rightly cause Of increas-
ing apprehension.
But reviving confidence after
such an experience as the coun-
try has been passing through IS
not an easy task. 1t will
take more than the optimistic
speeches Of high officials of the
Administration, more than re-
peated assurances of good inten-
tions to convince the country
that the natural forces Of recov-
cry are no longer to be thwarted
by the various and sundry Fed
eral agencies set up upon the
twofold excuse of promoting re-
covery and forcing reconstruc-
ton.
To revive confidence to the
point that will quicken anew the
spirit of enterprise, encourage
investment and increase employ
ment by other means than Fed
eral spending is apt to prove far

Strike Delays Work On
 New Pioneers Home

Work on the new $225,000 home for Alaska pioneers at Sitka is progressing as we'll as can be expected under the un- certainties of the shipping sit uation resulting from the Paci- fife coast longshoremens' strike, according to William A. Hesse, Territorial Highway Engineer and chairman of the building commission.
 In a letter to the Herald dated June 25, MT. Hesse stat ed that the concrete had been poured up to and including the first floor, representing the largest pour to be made in building. Forms to the second floor were also half completed, with sufficient material on hand to finish that section.
 "We managed to- keep the work going during the first strike, though we were obliged to get a small shipment of electrical material from Can ada, or suspend operations, MT. Hesse wrote.
 According to MT. Hesse, the goal of the commission is to get the pioneers into the new home by Christmas, although the. strike has now made this some thing of a forlorn hope. MT. Hesse believes, however, that the contractor will make a herculean effort to get one wing of the structure ready for occupancy in advance of the rest.

held concerning the effect of bale coverings
on the spinning qualities OF cotton have been
set st rest following . series Of tests by the
Bureau Of Agricultural Economics.
Three types Of bagging have been used, jues,
cotton and sisal. 1t was found that no fibers
Of either the sisal or jute were to be found in
the cotton after spinning and therefore the
cotton was unaffected BY the covering
Cotton growers had complained that they
were being penalised between IS ceuts and q

And a woman with bare arms
Drawing water from we'll;
AS the bucket mounts apace,
With it mounts her own fair face.
AS at some magicians spell.
Then an old man in tower,
Ringing loud the noontide hour.
While the rope coils round and round
Like serpent at his feet,
And again, in swift retreat,
Nearly lifts him from the ground.
Then within a prison yard
Faces fixed, and stern, and hard
Laughter and indecent mirth;
All! 1t is the gallows tree!

Blow, and sweep it from the earth.

Clean the long threads in the sun;

Cobwebs brighter and more fine

Like white doves upon the wing,
First before my vision pass
Laughing, as their gentle hands
Closely clasp the twisted strands,

And a girl poised high in air
On cord, in spangled dress.
With faded loneliness,
