SEEDS OF DISLOYALTY
This particular sapping ex.

OF the Common Defense, for
which the Constitution requires
the Congress to provide.
Instead of melting American

Now is the time and every

to turn the light of truth upon

snakes of alien intrigue, but
upon their every tool and dupe,

to you as they do to a popular
writer.
But how does writer get
that way? One woman who
writes is talented. Even the edi-
tors admit that. Admit, too, that
she writes accurately, charm
ingly, smartly-has an unusual
vocabulary and clever technique.
Yet nobody buys her stuff.
Even the family doesn't care to

But not once do you feel that

attitude like that would spoil
the finest writing on earth.
SIMPLE TRICK
The secret of successful writ

toughest thing on earth to learn

Strengthen the Police

One of the few constructive recommendations in the
report of the House committee that Investigated crime
conditions in Washington urged that the Police Depart
ment be strengthened by additional men.
superintendent of Police Ernest W. Brown now gives
the District Commissioners chance to translate that
recommendation into ACTION.
The police chief in his estimates for the coming
fiscal year includes approximately 100 additional
policemen.
While we believe that the District budget should be
held to minimum in order to avoid the increased taxes
which have been proposed do not believe that the
necessary economies should be effected at the expense
of the essential departments of the local government
And certainly the Police Department is of those
essential agencies.
The department is replacing this year the thirty five
men who were dropped because of the operation of the
so-called economy law"
These requirements, however, will not put the depart
ment on an adequate basis.
They simply fill in the vacancies caused by the re-
quirement of the economy that vacancies could not
be filled while that act was operative.
It is obvious to all that during the last two years the
population of the District has increased and the respon
sibilties of the Police Department have likewise in
creased.
There has been tremendous increase in the number
of automobiles in the city.
If there is to be any adequate regulation of those
vehicles it is manifest that there must be increase
in the number of policemen assigned to their control
On the basis of increased automobile registration alone
Major Browns recommendation be justified.
But there are other conditions which also warrant the
Commissioners in approving the Majors recommended
ton.
THERE ARE WAYS IN WHICH THE COMMITS
sIONERS CAN MAKE CURTAILMENTs IN THE DIS
TRICT's EXPENSE BUT THESE DO NOT INCLUDE
KEEPING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SHORT
HANDED.

The Crusaders powerful national organization of youth
have entered the lists against the Raw Dealers and their die
tatoral tactics
Their president Fred Clark has warned that the great
ambition of youh-freedom-s threatened for the first time
since 1776
With timely effectiveness he quotes the Declaration of In
dependence the activities of King George III:
"He has created a multitude of offices and sent
hher of officers to harass people and eat
out their very substance"
And this is Mr.. Clark's comment:
"This bears very striking resemblance to pres
ploying thousands of officers ho drav fat salaries,
spy upon daily liUes and control daily dctiUes
TO which Mr. Clark might add modern Patrick Henry

DESTROYED THEORY
Man is making his first ven
lures into the stratoSphere. The
Belgian scientist, Picard, paved
the way in his balloon. The Rus
slams followed him; our Army
aeronauts intend to go up, and
the late Wiley Post was count
ing on being the first man to
drive an airplane into the re-
gions beyond the stratoSphere.
It is hardly more than a mat
ter of time before the strato-
sphere becomes the highway for
international and transoceanic
travel at bewildering speed.
Maybe twenty years from now,
or fifty, at the most, Paris will
be an overnight jump from New
York.
It all rests with the develop
ment of suitable engines. The
motors must be built to meet
conditions up beyond the 10
mile mark, and the cabins for
the aviators and the passengers
must be Theoretically sealed
chambers, with the occupants
supplied with oxygen and
warmth.
We just can't be incredulous
about speed. Only a little more
than a quarter of century ago,
an iceboat was our fastest means
of locomotion. Railroad speed
of 100 miles an hour dazzled us.
We had nothing which could
rival such birds of the air as
the swift. giant swallow, which
betters $50 miles an hour in its
flight.
Learned men were telling us
that man could not survive
speeds in excess of 200 miles
an hour. "He would blow up"
they said. They told us, too,
that in a drop of a couple Of
hundred yards man would be
dead before he struck the earth.
Instead, we have men doing
better than 400 miles. He drops

First Sessions of 1885 Helped by
Cheerful Corporate Reports
and Dividends.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


TORONTO, Ontario, January S.
The first sessions of 1885 in Canadian
stock markets found prices creeping
higher, with the industrial list led by
specialties and the junior issues in
demand on the mining board.
While corporate reports are making
their appearance and dividend dis
bursements are verifying the improved
results during the last year over 1888.
retailers report that money appeared
in greater abundance during Decent
Der than for many years.
Ford of Canada was one of the most
active local stocks, greeting the new
1885 car with new high prices on the
market.
Among the issues showing strength
are the railroad equipment shares.
These shares are influenced partly by
better results for Canadian railroads
in 1884, but chiefly by the fact that
it is rumored the government will
finance the purchase of new equip
ment by both the Canadian National
and Canadian Pacific railroads.
