Chief of Staff.

President Roosevelt's designation of
Maj. Gen. Malin D. Craig to be chief
Of staff of the Army has occasioned no
surprise, save in respect to its imme-
diacy, it having been expected that the
announcement would not be made until
near the end of the year. As to the
fitness OF the selection there 10 no ques-
ton. Gen. Craig is eminently qualified
for this new responsibility and duty.
His military service has been marked
with success in every assignment. He
served in the Spanish War in Cuba, in
the China relief expedition, in the
Philippine insurrection and in highly
important duties during the World War.
Just past sixty years of age, he has
several years to serve before retirement
and to the duties and the problems of
his newly designated post of service, at
the head of the organized forces, he
brings a ripe experience. an excep-
tional personal qualification and high
ideal of military responsibility and re-
quirement. Washington, which has been
the scene of Gen. Craig's duties ON sew
eral occasions in the past and par
ticularly recently at the War College,
knows this distinguished oficer as
veritably a resident and intimately as
friend and welcomes him to his new
post with congratulations for the honor
which has been bestowed on him.

A Mistake of the Heart.

Six thousand years ago in Egypt the
barbaric kings of the Nile practiced
Spiteful policy of vengeance against the
memory of their predecessors. 1t was
their custom to remove from monuments,
public works, even tombs, the names of
those who had built them. Ikhnaton,
the monotheistic prophet Of the Sun God,
for example, was so insulted after death.
The cult he had de1ed triumphed over
him in that way.
And President Roosevelt last Monday,
it seems, permitted himself a similar
departure from good manners. Dedi-
eating Boulder Dam, he failed to men
ton his forerunners, Calvin Coolidge and
Herbert Hoover, the one in his grave, the
other living, but both Immortality identi-
fed with the development of the Colorado
River canyon. Such neglect can be
explained only as symptom of partisan
ship.
But Mr.. Coolidge was beyond the power
of the slight and Mr.. Hoover has the
grace to conceal any hurt he may feel.
The only serious damage is that of the
disappointment of those forgotten people
who, attracted by his undoubted charm,
had supposed that Mr.. Roosevelt would
be incapable of mistake of the heart.
The story of the dam, it may be hoped,
will be written by scholars liberal and
charitable enough to give credit wherever
1t Is due, without regard to politics. In

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Chapped hands are supposed to interest
women only. but the truth is that men
suffer from them more.
Ordinarily their hands are more bony,
less covered with protective layers of
fat, more inclined to dryneSs.
Then, too, as q rule, they are out in
the air more, and wear gloves less.
Many still suffer under the old preiu-
dice, that it is feminine to wear gloves.
Hence they use them only for auto
mobile driving. just as women smoke in
cars. but seldom on the sidewalk
Glove-wearing is q habit, much as all
other mannerismS.
There Is a man in this town who
refused to wear EN-. even in the cOldeSt
Winters, until the past two cold seasons,
when sub-zero temperatures ruled.
Then he found, what he should have
known all along, that warm gloves are
q sensible habit in more ways than one
Not only do they keep the hands from
chapping. but they protect the extremi-
ties they clothe. much as wool socks and
stout shoes the feet.
Autumn turns ones thoughts to pro-
lection from the weather, not that it is
so cold, but that even the least far
seeing realize real cold is not far of.
A great deal has been said about pro-
tecting the feet from cold and dampness,
not so much about the same good
service to the hands.
Ramming them into the overcoat or
topcoat pockets is far from real pro-
lection, mostly because Of the ease Of
taking them out.
Then usually there is one hand which
must be kept out, since the majority Of
mankind usually have some bundle or
umbrella or something to carry.
This is where gloves come in very
handy without any idea OF pun at all.
They come in handy because they are
on the hands and cover the same
1t may be suspected that if warmth
is good for the feet, it is likewise very
good for the hands.
Nude hands. hanging in the cold air,
must put extra work on the circulation
to keep them warm. Every one knows
how many persons regard it as bene-
fetal, in very hot weather, to permit cold
water TO run over the wrists.
In Autumn We do the same when we
permit cold air to run over them.
Warmth at the extremities is an old
health rule.
Usually it is applied to the feet, but
it may include the hands as we'll, and
no doubt ought to.
1t cannot be said that the hands are
even as active as the feet, when one is
walking, for the latter must bear the
impact Of the whole body. All the
muscles Of the feet. except those held
| largely inactive by the support of shoe
leather, are in operation during the
exercise of walking. This is such normal
exercise that many OF us never stop to
think of it as such at all. except when
deliberately walking faster and farther
than usual.
Yet any walking is exercise. as many
persons know who do their daily stint
| to or from work. For every one who
walks both ways. there are many more
who walk but one way. and many more
who walk just one way once in while.
1t is satisfactory to some to see the
statement of a health authority that
walking from work Is much better than
walking to work.
Whatever may be the experts reasons
Evening star., 1935-10-04

for this. common sense says the same,
because walking to be really worthwhile
ought to bring perspiration, and no one
wants to begin the day all sweaty,
whereas it is q very good way to end it.
At home one can take q shower i'm
mediately and get into clean linen.
while the like is utterly impossible at
the ONCE.
Most office workers need the outdoor
air after they have been at a desk all
day long. 1t blows the cobwebs out of
the brain. as the saying is, by getting
some good oxygen into the chest The
connection between brain and lungs Is
as close as the blood.
=
The time has gone by when men feel
1t effeminate to pay some attention to
the condition of their hands.
The great Napoleon may have set the
fashion, for he was inordinately proud
of his, feeling highly complimented If
one of his henchmen spoke about his
fine looking hands. 1t may be imagined
that he got many compliments along
that line.
One need not feel at all proud of his
hands to want to keep them in that con-
dition which calls not attention to itself.
The common i'll of hands in cold
weather is chapping. All persons of
spare build suffer so, and many whose
lubricating glands In the skin have begun
to dry up through age.
The lack of oil in the skin Is what
makes them chap, and this is easily
corrected by the application Of any one
of the many lotions sold for such q
purpose.
Modern advertising has succeeded in
making the whole world conscious of
such things, and it is good thing. We
never see a man standing on a windy
corner with red. chapped hands without
wanting to call his attention to the ads
in the papers of the various skin creams
and lotions
Any one Of them would be a sort of
ordinary godSend to him, if he would
60 to the trouble of using it regularly.
In no time at all he would find his
hands smooth and free from irritation.
calling no attention to themselves at
all. which Is exactly what good hands
ought.
Fortunately for the average man, the
face does not chap easily. else he would
have to put himself in the place of the
dear ladies, who use so many face
creams
The oil glands in the skin of the face
normally remain active many years
more than those of the hands. Undoubt-
edly this is due to the added layers of
fatty tissue on the face. Hands become
leaner with the years and this reduces
the fat and so the natural oil which
tends TO keep skin supple.
Skin is really living leather. 1t de-
msnds some care as We go along. This
care includes the use of soap and water,
which in its turn tends to dry the skin.
A useful supplement in cold weather
would be found not only helpful but
extremely sensible. Men like to fool
themselves into believing that every
thing they do is dictated by intelligence.
Well. here is one place the old brain
really can function. if one takes q look
at red. raw hands In Autumn and
Winter and determines to right them.
What if the women say, why, we
always knew that" With them it is
fashion. with us brains. Heb! Heb! rs

Sympathy for Ethiopia.

There can be no doubt that sympathy
for the Ethiopians is the generally prev
alent sentiment today. outside of Italy.
especially in this country. The feeling
dominates all political considerations. 1t
was SO in 1914 when Germany invaded
Belgium, neutral country, and wrought
ghastly havoc upon that helpless land.
In this present case it is hard for Amer
leans to see what cause Italy has for
war, what grievance there is to be cor
rected, what provocation there has been
for assault on grand scale of warfare.
A dispatch from Geneva yesterday was
to the effect that state OF war in
Ethiopia was by League officials consid-
cred to be evident from a message re-
ceived there from the Italian government
referring to the warlike and aggressive
spirit fomented by the leaders of Ethi-
opia who have long been demanding
war with Italy and who have succeeded
in imposing war"
The pretenSe that the aggression has
been on the side of Ethiopia and that
the grievance is wholly on the side of
Italy would be amusing were it not SO
tragic and in perversion of the facts and
but for the assumption that it would be
accepted by the world. For months
Italy has been preparing. There was
originally an incident" 1t happened
at Ualual--Sometimes spelled Walwal-
which lies about fifty miles north of the
disputed boundary between Ethiopia and
italian Somaliland. What the Ethiopians
regarded as a raiding party of Italian
troops entered the territory and were
driven off by the native soldiery. From
that small affair, of no consequence in
comparison with the issues which were
Immediately raised and which could
have been adjusted without difficulty
if approached in a judicially corrective
spirit, developed the general plan of con-
quest, which in the later stages has been
undisguised.
The EthiopianS have at no time sought
territory beyond their now established
boundaries. They are today merely re-
sisting invasion, the specific excuse for
which is obscured by the grandiloquent
clamor from Rome about national des-
tiny and honor. 1t is as though a
burglar charged a householder with
illicit armament if he prepares against
a marauding visitation by providing a
weapon of defense.
However indignant the American peo-
pie may be in respect to the injustice
of this wanton violation of the territory
of the EthiopianS, they will not-they
can not-take part in the quarrel. 1t is
not their fight. They have suffered no
injury. They are not likely to suffer
injury unless the war spreads beyond
the African area and involves other
nations and thus puts American interests
and rights in jeopardy. But they never
theless feel moral partisanship, and
undoubtedly the prevailing wish today
in this country is that the Ethiopians
may successfully defend their own land
and impose righteous punishment
upon their aggreSsorS, however unlikely
such a result may be, in view of the
advantages of numbers and equipment
which the invaders possess.

Capital also might have such an insti-
tution.- such an establishment for the
instruction of the thousands OF citizens
who make their home here or who come
on periodical visits to the city. Chicago,
with the Adler Planetarium, and Phila-
delphia, with the Franklin Institute
Planetarium, already have demonstrated
the value of "sky tours" in terms of
popular culture. New York now joins
in the work Of teaching the masses the
grandeur and the beauty of the coSmic
domain. The cost in none of these three
instances has been eXorbitant. Much
larger sums recently have been spent
for far less worthy purposes.
But even if the investment were all
of a million dollars, it would be amply
justified. planetarium is conducive of
humility-a quality which is imperatively
necessary in the soul of man. No indi-
vidual, however self-sufhcient or ego
istic, can behold the ordered and CORE
lated majesty of celestial mechanics
without being chastened, uplifted and
ennobled. The marvel of it remains in
the mind and in the heart and affects
conduct and behavior in strange and
curious but helpful ways. AS an instru-
ment of civilization, then, a Washington
planetarium would be eminently useful.
Just how it should be financed. built and
operated can be decided later What
merits affirmation at present is the fact
that the Capital requires and deserves
what other communities very properly
have acquired.

Oustel.

The Virginian who has been arrested
for resisting custer from his home to
make way for the development OF the
Shenandoah National Park will un-
doubtedly have the sympathy OF many
people. Yet he has only himself to blame
for this predicament. The process of
acquiring the land needed for the park
was begun long ago and his property
was marked for condemnation if he did
not accept the terms offered. He re-
fused to take either the proffered price
or the condemnation award, insisting
upon his right to remain where he had
been located for many years. Had every
property owner in the area marked out
for the park held the same view there
would have been no park. Indeed there
are still number of small holdings in
the hills that have not been relinquished
and the problem of getting these tenants
and owners-in some cases they are
veritable squatters-out of the area and
established elsewhere has been one of
difficulty. 1t happens thus in most cases
of broad public developments where the
right of eminent domain is exercised.
In this instance there was definite
neighborhood partisanship for the obdu-
rate property owner. Even the sheriff
of the county interceded for him with the
State authorities, but finally received
positive orders to execute the writ of
eviction. There was no alternative. The
park must be completed as planned.
Just so with every large public improve
ment. The individual cannot block
the way.
