or animal They might have been car
ried into the cave by rats.
DR.. CLANCY has been able to solve this
question by a complicated bit of scien-
tific reconstruction. All authorities agreed
that the animals would chew a small
opening on one side OF the shell rather
than crush it into fragments, as was
the case in the cave. DR.. Chaney fed
dried hackberries to Gagged rodents at
the University of California, but could
not induce them to eat the fruit. Gagged
monkeys ate them, but crushed the shells
between their teeth and swallowed them.
On the other hand. hackberrieS are
most frequently used by modern Indians
as flavoring for meat or bread. The
fruits are crushed fine and the liquid
strained away and cooked with other
food. This leaves a residue of shell
fragments that are cast aside which look
very much like those found in the
Chinese cave.
Hence, DR.. Chaney concludes. ancient
man probably used them in the same
way. He prepared his meals much in
the way of the present natives of the
Southwest. The hackberrieS probably
provided some needed vitamins which
enabled him to survive in the cold, in
hospitable region. They constituted the
orange juice" of Sinanthropus babies.
Mrs Sinanthropus, in effect, kept a
diary long before anybody dreamed of
writing. Every time she cooked food or
threw garbage into the fire she made
an entry recording the life of the family
for the day. The forces of nature pre-
served some of her unlettered notations
through the long ages. waiting for some
one to arrive who was competent to
translate them.

Put Idle Men to
Work i'm the Mines
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
In The Star of q recent date 7 read
a suggestion from a gentleman from
Indianapolis, Ind.-Col. Edwin P. Thayer
in regard to taking 10000 men off the
relief rolls and putting them to digging
for gold, silver. lead and other valuable
metals. The idea has wonderful ring.
I would suggest $4,000 men and 5000
women. The women could keep camp
while the men kept busy prospecting.
If properly managed money would be
made, maybe enough to balance the
budget. At least the men would earn
their wages. They should be eneour-
aged by paying them a premium on
their findings.
1t is as plain as day that there are
no jobs for the idle millions. We have
enough roads for auto slaughter. Why
build more?
Mass production on farms and fac
tories have ample help, the mercantile
business is cornered by the chain stores.
Only small sustenance farms are left
for the men on the corners.
Let us hope that Hopkins will try out
the mining proposition. 1t can't be as
bad as idle relief. which ruins men
and wastes, money. 4. j. WARREN.

Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Why Geneva?
The town of New York is called little"
and "old,"
Though it's neither, as figures make
known.
It's of the New World, as it's story is told,
And 1t seems just bit overgrown.
You find colonies here, you find colonies
there,
Into which foreign quarrels extend.
We might settle some matter that causes
BY meeting at Mulberry Bend.
There's chianti; and near may be good
lager beer;
Tokay from Hungarian wales;
Both champagne and sherry may still
persevere
And argue with brown British ales.
And little debate and bit Of fight
Where Usquebaugh's might may extend
Should serve to turn on international
light
BY meeting at Mulberry Bend.

Offers Proposals for
Safety i'm the Streets

To the Editor of The Star:
wish to commend The Star for its
efforts in improving trafic conditions
In Washington, and in this connection
have a few suggestions to make
Would it not be worth while in the
interests of preserving the life of little
children to make it unlawful for them
to play in the city streets, especially
while they are gyrating around on roller
skates, express wagons, bicycles, tri-
cycles and other paraphernalia? A child
on roller skates speeding down the CEN
ter OF the street cannot control him
self or come to complete stop fast
enough to keep out of the way of
speeding automobile. Providing play
grounds or acquainting parents with the
location Of such Fairgrounds as already
exist should help.
More and adequate parking facilities
for shoppers and theater-goers would
get such automobiles as do go into the
congeSted areas out of the way once
they have reached their destination, in
stead Of having them cruise about the
streets in vain effort to find a suitable
parking space. Some stores, I believe.
already are providing such service for
partment In the interest of safety sell
this idea to those stores and theaters
who are not in line?
There should also be some regulation
OF buSSeS now that their number on the
streets has increased. These buSSeS are
forever swerving in and out Of traffic
lanes in an effort to keep on schedule
and are impeding trafic. Every motorist
knows where to look for a street car
in the middle of the street on the
tracks-but bus gets directly in front
of q motorist and it is impossible to
see ahead or around it.
Transportation facilities are made
quate for Washington's present popula-
ton and, I believe, q subway would do
q great deal toward emptying the streets
Of pedestrians and motorists and parked
cars alike. People are dependent on
their own automobiles to get them to and
from work because transportation ia
cilities offered them are not dependable.

Unbearable Din of
Fourteenth Street Cars

To the Editor OF Inc star:
I desire herewith to register COM
ment, both timely and caustic, in re
the unearthly and uncalled for noises
created by the street cars racing up
and down the hills of the upper reaches
of Fourteenth street. Apparently a vast
majority Of the rolling stock is of the
vintage of a 1911 model T Ford and,
what with the clanking and grinding
and Screeching of wheels upon the steel
rails, the rheumatic stopping and start
ing. the opening and closing OF the
rattletebang doors, particularly in the
seasonal sleeping hours of night, foun-
dation is laid for about the most perfect
nightmare the human mind in its Wild
est flights of delirium could conJure up.
If these impressions are registered on
strong and healthy person, what must
necessarily be the effect on the aged,
weak and Ill?
A most timely and appropriate epi-
grammatic remark was made concerning
the Capitals street cars by a clever and
popular comedian while he was playing
ut local theater recently. Being dis
turbed throughout the better part Of the
first night he was in the city by their
incessant changing and rattling of run
ming gears, loose, banging doors; squeak
ing, groaning bodies. and screaming,
grinding wheels. he said: ut sounds like
all hell going for q sleighride."
They appear to hurtle along at speed
far in excess of what must be law, and
most emphatically at q speed that Is far
from safe Busses, almost noiseless, are
running on other streets with reported
success, so why cannot Fourteenth
street, a major artery of the city, bs
similarly blessed?

= Perhaps these figures are exaggerated.
The statistics Of sporting events some
times are subject to that fault. However,
1t is plain that several million dollars
have been and are being and will be
spent by approximately 100000 persons
for the sake Of seeing two men buffet
each other In a squared circle. And it
is to be remembered that this is not q
Championship fight. Neither man holds
the title, though one of them did until
recently. The present Set-up In the fstic
game is such that tonight's fight is vir-
tually equivalent to contest for the
supreme role, inasmuch as the winner
will have to meet, in challenge for the
title, one who holds it by what is gen.
orally regarded as . fiuke.
That such a contest should draw such
crowd, and at such figures, can mean
only one thing. The depression is over.
1t is quite true that there are some odds
and ends Of recovery to be accounted
for. good many people are yet out of
work. Many mills are idle and the
indices Of trade are still below normal.
The New Deal is still struggling with the
problem Of how to spend the way back
to prosperity by increasing the taxes.
But here is this phenomenon of a
hundred thousand Americans spending
perhaps fifteen million dollars for what
passes as entertainment. lasting pos
sibly for no more than ten or fifteen
minutes. If recovery can be promoted
by the circulation Of cash, assuredly this
sporting enterprise has done its consid-
cradle bit toward that end.

They are in repose, waiting Tor the

When these are received, one by one

The perennials will die down, in some
cases, in others simply lose a few Of
their leaves. Some will become brown,
others stay green.
A touch Of yellow will tinge the tips
OF evergreens, and the famous Jack
Frost will cause tree leaves to turn yell
low and gold and red.
Already there are red leaves to be
found on walks in suburban areas
where the first traces Of Fall have
reached.
City streets are more protected, not
only by houses, but by higher tempera-
lures as well.
Along them soon we shall hear again
the ageless rustic of dried leaves, pre-
cious memories bringing to all.

Look up, not down." is not good
Autumn advice.
Down. rather than up, is the proper
direction. Most of the changes are low.
Even the leaves on the trees fall. Per-
haps the only exception lies in the
trees themselves. Their great masses Of
yellow and red leaves are worth looking
up to, in the ordinary cares OF the day.
Now come the hours when homes re-
appear, having been hid all Summer by
the masses of leaves.
This annual disappearance and reap
pearance Of houses has something OF
ordinary magic in 1t.
Not in the twinkling Of an eye, OF
course but over a period Of days, they
come into view again.
Perhaps from every window in the
suburbs, If not in the city, this magic
may be witnessed.
Usually there is one home, at least,
which disappears completely with the
leafing out Of the trees in the Spring.
All Summer long it is as if it did not
exist, as far as the spectator from that
particular window knows.
1t is there he realizes, but not to the
sense of sight.
Only his mind tells him. just as it
knows about London, although he has
never seen London.
Thus in simple homely way ne Is
brought to realize that many things he
cannot see nevertheless exist just as
firmly as If he could.
He knew 1t all along, Of course, but
sometimes 1t is helpful to have it proved
in larger quantities than q microscope
reveals.
The motorist misses much Of the
beauty OF the season.
He hurries down town in the morn

intent on traffic to observe the chang

their famous populizer. The latter. as
it happened, was not truly base ball

games most distinguished interpreter.
He won his celebrity In that respect
through the exercise Of his mastery over
words rather than by reason OF intimate
acquaintance with or enthusiasm for the

Inc sage more than forty thousand times
in public he still was trying to perfect
his use of 1t.
Hopper as the world saw him was q
clown, but the man as he visioned HIM
self was an altogether different char
acter, The earnestness of his endeavor
with Casey" as with every other role he
essayed, testified to the seriousness OF
his approach to the problems OF his
profession. In his autobiography he tells
with unpretending sincerity how he
yearned to portray heroic figures. The
part in which he believed he justified
his existence was that Of Mark Antony
in Julius Caesar"-sn incident in the
Lambs Gambol of 1909. But Washington
will remember him for the rich and
colorful share he had in the Gilbert and
Sullivan operettas in which, beginning
in 1911, he achieved unfading laurels.
Granted that he belonged to the past,
Hopper is a good memory in the hearts
of those who were fortunate enough to
have included him in their experience.
He made laughter in a world which
needed such relief, and mankind is in
his debt for that If for no other service.

Invitation to Strike.

Assistant Secretary Edward F.
McGrady of the Department of Labor
has asked Harry L. Hopkins, admins
traitor in general of Government relief,
to prepare to aid striking coal miners and
their dependents If they are in distress.
John L. Lewis, president Of the United
Mine Workers of America, has been
quoted as saying: Certainly our people
expect relief from the various agencies
of the Government They do not
intend to starve and they do not expect
the country to starve them or to permit
the operators to do So"
There are prospects of an agreement
between the miners and the operators
which will bring the strike promptly to
an end. Such a conclusion Of the differ
ences which have resulted in a walkout
of 100000 miners in the soft coal fields
would be welcomed by the country. In
the event. however, that there is no such
agreement and the strike continues, will
the recommendations Of Mr.. McGrady
and Mr.. Lewis that the Government
feed and house and clothe the striking
miners, if that be necessary, be carried
out? Is the Government to SubSidize
strikes? Under the present admins
tration in Washington the "handout"
has become the recognized thing, and
who would say that the administration
will not back Mr.. McGrady and Mr..
Lewis in this demand for ammunition
with which to carry the fight to the
mine operators?
And under what conditions are the
funds of the Government to be used
to grant relief in this case? The miners
are striking for an increase in their
pay. 1t is understood that concessions
have been agreed to by the operators
which would bring about q raise of fifty
cents day in the basic pay in Northern
mines, an increase from IS 8 day to
$3.50; ten per cent increase for yard
age and dead work" or cleaning out
the mine. These concessions have, it
is said, ironed out the principal items
in dispute except for the pay for piece"
work for the cutting and loading Of
coal. For that kind of work the min
ers have demanded an increase of ten
cents a ton, and the operators have
finally agreed to 60 up seven and one
half cents, with the miners still stand
ing out for nine cents. With q cent and
half ton on piece work the sole re-
naming difference of Importance, some
400, 900 miners and 100000 dependents
are to be affected seriously through un-
employment and the Government is to
be asked to come to their relief with
millions of dollars.
In the past the Government has un-
dertaken to aid in the adjustment Of
labor disputes. 1t has been q success
full mediator countless times. But
never in the past has 1t undertaken to
subsidize one side or the other in such
disputes. If it takes such stand now.
q far-reaching precedent will have been
set. With the Government ready to
back with money any labor strike, how
many strikes may be expected? No one
wishes the families of mine workers to
starve, including the operators of the
mines. There Is work for the miners
If, however, they are unwilling to come
to agreement, they face discomfort and
need.

Meadow Beauty
In rainy dusks I sometimes seek the

Where sodden grasses swish with

And goldenrod, rearing q yellow head,

And the red clover underneath my feet
Drenches the air with odors honey

From dripping bush to weeds Of varied
