Nazis Scored
 Sweeping Victory
 VoIkstag Election
(By The Associated Press) FREE CITY DANZIG, April 8

Nazis scored a sweeping victory in Volkstag election. The polling mum bered 139,000 in favor of the Nazi out of 205,279 votes cast.
 Of the remaining votes the cent rist or Catholic party boiled 80,039
 The Nazis however, failed to gain the two thirds majority which would have given them the party control of the city. This was the first serious setback for Hitler since he came into power

Illuminated Buildings.

One of the most striking and men,
orable aspects of the celebration of the
Silver Jubilee of King George v is that
of the rediscovery of the beauty of
Illuminated buildings. Some Unprecedented
genius conceived the idea of flood
lighting monumental edifices like West
minister Abbey and the Houses of Par
Lament. and the moment the first ex-
periments had been completed success
fully the notion was adopted everywhere.
Buckingham Palace, by day relatively
undistinguiShed mansion, became by
night a silver harmony of architectural
grace and grandeur. The lofty dome OF
st. Paul's Cathedral was metamorphosed
into an ivory cloud above the darkling
city. Sir Christopher Wren's series Of
belfries appeared in new glory of radi-
ance. At Salisbury the tallest spire in
England was raised to even greater
heights of aspiration by the magic OF
scores of hidden artificial moons.
The effect is curious beyond descrip-
ton. Structures old and stained and
battered take on glamour which cannot
be told in words. Pristine youth returns
to them, and they stand against the
curtain of the night in untarnished
splendor such as they knew when first
they were finished Small wonder it is
that crowds of people flock to each OF
the numberless spectacles and stand in
the streets in silent admiration OF the
miracle of luminous designs.
Paris, too, has spotlighted her land
marks. Notre Dame, the Arc de
Triomphe, the Madeleine and the Place
Concorde are bathed in cool flame each

Something Wrong.

Two matters OF interest arise in con-
nection with the failure of eleven out OF
fourteen graduates of Wilson Teachers
College to pass the examination for kin
dergarten- primary teacher positions in
the Washington schools. The first is the
reason for this unaccountable failure.
The second Is Dr. Ballou'S statement that

examinations. are not public property
and are therefore not to be revealed.
AS for the failure of the students. it is
to be recalled that only the pupils who
attain high rank in their hign school
courses are admitted to Wilson for the
four year teachers course. They are
above-the-average pupils to begin with.
Their graduation at Wilson carries with
it a degree which in itself should repre-
sent high academic standard. And
when only three of fourteen Wilson
graduates are able to pass a teacher
examination the fault is apparently due
to failure by the authorities to CO.
ordinate the training course with the
ground covered in the examination.
There are indications that this is the
case. Some of the examination ques-
lions appear not to have been covered
during the four-year college couise.
OF course, statistics which indicate the
success or failure of Wilson Teachers
College to prepare students for their
chosen work are public property The
statistics, not the names or personali-
ties of those involved in the tests, should

First Sunset Concert.

Perhaps some Washington music-lov-
ers we're slightly skeptical when the plan
for the sunset concerts of the National
Symphony Orchestra was announced.
They may have wondered if the idea
really would work out satisfactorily. So
accustomed were they to Constitution
Hall as the home of the organization, that
they probably were doubtful about the
wisdom of the experiment of moving
out-of doors. They knew, of course,
that open-air band concerts are no
novelty. The question in their minds
was predicated on their fear that the
more delicate, less powerful instruments
of DR.. Hans Kindlers artists might be
handicapped by emancipation from an
auditorium-was there not danger that
the subtler phrases of harmony would
be lost under the untrammeled sky?
But all such agnosticism must have
been banished effectively by the success
of the first concert. A multitude Of
people, assembled on the river bank at
the Lincoln Memorial, waited breath
lessly for the initial passages Of the
primary Offering. It was memorable
moment when DR.. Kindler's baton sum-
moned the first notes out of. the bril-
liantly lighted shell. The magic Of

C,ircus Trials.

With the American Bar Associations
strong condemnation of the circus side
show aspects of the Hauptmann trial
large majority OF American citizens will
agree, willingly applauding any effort
at future remedy the bar association
may make when some other trial comes
along.
ITO treat a simple trial as public
show" the resolution states, go is
to cheaper life itself by causing people
generally to undervalue the life Of the
criminal, and to increase the morbid
desire of sensation seekers
That is undoubtedly true. But other
matters relating to this trial are to be
borne in mind: 1t was not simple"
trial, in one sense Of the word, but the
trial of the man accused of the crime
of the century. There has never been
so much public interest in any previous
trial. And aside from the execrable
taste shown by some of the spectators,
most of the acting at the trial was done
by the lawyers, manifestly playing for
the headlines.
The major share of responsibility in
preventing such spectacles as the Haupt-
mann trial rests on the bench and on
the bar They conduct the trial. They
lend it dignity. or they give it the ele-
ments of a public show. And in their
hands lies the power of remedy.

The Soviet Trade Deal.

Although it comprehends volume Of
business vastly less than the billion
dollar figures glibly talked about after
recognition of the Soviet. the reciprocal
trade arrangement into which the United
States and the Moscow government have
just entered provides for substantial 40
vantages to both countries. The Soviet
undertakes to purchase 100000 900
worth of American goods during the
next year, and in return for that guar
antee Russian wares entering this coun-
try will have the benefit of tariff con-
cessions made in recently concluded
trade agreements with other countries,
or which may be made during the life
time of the American-Soviet arrange
ment The latter is for one year and is
capable of being renewed indefinitely.
The agreement will result imme Liateiy
In more than doubling exports to
Russia, because these have averaged
only $4,000 900 annually during the past
three years. In 1880. in the midst OF its
fve-year plan, the Soviet spent STA
100000 in the United States. Since
then more of it's purchases have been
made in Europe and to considerable
extent, necessities have been domesa-
cally supplied. From this country, hence
forward, the Russians are expected TO
take, for the most part, locomotives,
heavy machinery and equipment, raw
cotton, automobiles and trucks
Last wear the Soviet sold to the United
States Sl27O9,OOO worth of furs, coal,
sausage castings. manganese and nllScel-
laneous metal ores. By reason o. the
reduced tariff rates on manganese re-
Gently granted to Brazil, Russian exports
of that article to this country should
especially increase, along with sales OF
other commodities. Secretary HullS re-
ciprocal trade program, already carried
into effect with half dozen nations, Is
based on mutual tariff concessions. AS
trade in the Soviet Union is govern
ment monopoly, it imposes no tariffs on
imports. Instead of granting the United
States tariff favors, the Russians pleoee
themselves to spend fixed amount here
during the next year.
The deal comes as the result Of many
months of futile effort to reach An Amer
ican-Soviet understanding embracing
credits, debts and trade. Moscow having
proved unwilling to come to an agree
ment on the several hundred million
dollars of Russian debts due to the
United States, Washington proved ada
mant on the subject of extension OF cred
its which the Soviet demanded as a
condition for purchase of American
goods.
The arrangement just effected is con-
fined exclusively to trade. 1t is obvi-
ously a compromise and the best bargain
that could be struck under the clrcum-
stances. On its face, it is fair ana
square, give-and-take proposition. AS to
the debts, the Soviet Union now takes
its place among the ten or dozen other
European countries which rank on the
books of the United States Treasury as
defaulters, and, as such, are barred from
access to the American money markets

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL.

The bumblebees were having q fine
time with the rhododendron blossoms.
They were at it by daylight every
morning, sending their high pitched
drone all over the house.
All day long, until darkness took them
back to their homes, they could be heard
at the flowers, nesting amid the dark
green leathery leaves
1t is curious thing that the common
name, the rosebay, should have no
appeal to the masses.
In this one case at least the popular
ear prefers rhododendron and the lay
mans tongue has no trouble with it.
Yet the word "rosebay" is pretty as
easy to say, and much easier to spell.
X 4
Bumblebees do not worry about pro-
nunciation. They find the flowers much
to their taste, that is all, and never
leave them alone for a second.
Another curious thing is how little
some Of us know about the insects.
Do bumblebees make honey?
And Is bumblebee honey good?
We innocently think these creatures
make honey for their own use entirely.
The question Is, what does 1t taste
like?
Bulky creatures, every one, they hum
constantly in a drone which easily pene-
trates the dining room, on the north
where the rhodes" are, through the liv-
ing room, up the steps.
While the hum is by no means the
loudest noise in Nature, it is pretty fair
for the size Of the bee.
There is something clownlike about
these fellows, find them where you will.
In the forests, winging their way over
plains, in suburban communities, or in
the very hearts of cities, the humble or
humble bees seem among our merriest
citizens.
No doubt they are as vastly serious as
all their breed. While the flowers bloom
is their time. Whether they have pref
erences, like their smaller cousins, is a
question.
Surely they like the rhododendrons
Not since the white and pink blossoms
began to open have they been absent SO
much as a minute.

stantly. at times becoming annoying

Objection to noise is purely man made.
No doubt 1t arises solely because man

about any others. They hear them.
but show no objection, merely interest
and fear, according to the noise.
Man alone of the creatures has evolved
noises to the point where they have
become nuiSances to him.
1t is questionable even then If he would
mind any of them were he as healthy as
he used to be.
Owing to types Of i'll health, mainly
concerned with the nervous system, man
has found noises SO upsetting that con-
certed movements are being made in
some of our largest cities against them
1t is high time.
An entire book devoted to the subject
is being issued shortly. AS far as we
know, this will be the first effort to
treat the subject so. Mostly people kick
against noises and hope for their end

nerves Is those types of noise created
by man and his various machines.
This must depend, of course, upon
the state of the aforementioned nerves
There are some persons who growl
nightly about the nightly chorus of
bulltrogs, whereas the very next person
will swear he enjoys 1t.
There is q man in this town who
never heard the famous ker plunk of
the bullfrog until this Summer.
He came down to the ONCE and de-
scribed the peculiar noise.
why" he said, in ali innocence, at
sounds for all the world as if some one
were beating on the bottom Of rusty
bucket at intervals"
That's q frog" said a friend, with
the finality Of country boy.
Sure enough 1t was.
Thereafter the gentleman listened
each night to the noise, at time finding
1t dif1cult to credit the croak to a
throat of flesh and blood.
II he woke in the night he listened
for 1t.
The sound was to him a fascinating
one Probably II there had been a
veritable chorus, except one in pool,
he would have found it otherwise.
-
A disconcerting noise to some is the
coo-oo-oo of the dove.
1t is a lugubriouS song, to be sure, but
the doves like 1t and even the human
listener who does not may come in time
to admire 1t II he will keep in mind
that, amid veritable chorus of harsher
noises, 1t is one of the few really soft
notes to be heard on the average air.
The dove Is the contralto of birds.
Most of our common songSterS special
ize in bright, shrill notes, high pitched,
far carrying.
When we think of the querulous
squawk of the jay, the angry chatter of
the wrens, the meow of the catbird, we
are more inclined to think well of the
somewhat melancholy notes of the dove.
1t has q place in Nature, one which is
very old and so well known that all
should try to make. the best of it.
Perhaps there is no country sound more
familiar.
Even the devastating chuckle Of the
owl heard in the cool night, Is not as
bad as it sounds.
In time the most sensitive person will
forget the sinister character of the weird
laugh. He will concentrate on the unusual
quality. Surely, with the exception of
the loon, few sounds in Nature are of
this exact type.
1t is interesting to think that such
owl sounds are coming from branch
not 20 feet away.
Perhaps a genuine loon of the sort
so we'll recorded on an ancient phono-
graph disk will some time stray this
way.
What a treat that record was land
still would be, perhaps, if one would
unearth it from the BASEMENT.
Its high spot was the cry of the tim
Der wolf, which, even in imitation. made
the blood run cold. There was a brace
of noises for you, the cries of the ami
NAL and the bird. the timber wolf and
the loon.
! Contrasted with these, the ordinary
sounds of frog and dove seem soundlesS,
almost.
So it is with the hum of the big
bumblebees, forever drinking nectar from
the large flowers of the leathery
rhododendrons.
Their incessant drone is a part of
Summers music.

That rose with stately grace.

And of a generous soil

With a silver Summer glow,
And you find your thoughts inclining

To place where rustling branches
Sing a sweet eternal song,
Or 'mongst cattle on the ranches,
Where all life seems big and strong
Where the roads are blossom bordered;
Where the stars shine far and free,
And the universe seems ordered
Just as it was meant to be;
Where each passing mood Is gracious,

Where outdoors is none too spacious
And house is in the way.
