They have contended before, and With
some justification. that heavy use OF the
road at night would disturb the animals.
It might be argued that the animals at
the Zoo have no more right to protec-
ton from the noise Of trafic at night
than their two-legged fellow citizens who
live outside the Zoo grounds. But the
Zoo grounds are closed at sundown; un-
restricted use Of the Zoo roadway after
dark would increase the problem OF
properly policing the grounds.
That part Of the Rock Greek drive
that runs through the Zoo, following the
course of the creek, is badly in need
now of resurfacing and widening. These
improvements should be made under any
conditions, and when they are made 1t
should be possible to erect fences and
a new Zoo entrance in such manner that,
diverting Rock Creek drive traf1c by
way of Klingle road and Adams Mill road
to the present Harvard street entrance,
there would be little disturbance to the
animals and not much loss Of what is
now Zoo property. Other plans have
considered a, pew road from the Harvard
street entrance along the east side Of
the creek, at the base of the cliff, to
below the Calvert Street Bridge. Unless
there is such new construction or the
present Zoo road Is utilized, the al
tentative will be that traffic must go
around the Zoo by way of Tilden street,
Connecticut avenue and the entrance
to the park near the Shoreham Hotel,
from Calvert street-a most roundabout
and unnecessary detour.

Reaching Back Into the Past.

Fifty years ago Mr.. John @. Tax
payer paid special assessment in con-
nection with the opening of new street
in front of his home. In the fifty years
since then MIR. Taxpayer has met his
obligations faithfully as citizen, pay
ing his real estate taxes and his auto
mobile taxes for the improvement and
upkeep not only of the street on whici,
his property faces, but for all the other
streets and highways in the District. In
half century the taxes he has paid
amount to quite sum.
Now-according to the provisions Of
a queer bin which the House passed last
week-if the authorities should decide
that the street in front of Mr.. Taxpayers
home needs new paving and cutters and
other embellishments making it more
usable for city trafic, Mr.. Taxpayer win
be assessed again. despite the fact that

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEwELL.

One does not have to be psychologist,
fortunately, to be interested In people,
or to attempt q personal understanding
OF their actions.
The jargon of psychology, so dear to
the educated layman for the past quar-
ter OF century, is now losing out with
him.
Within another Is years, we are con-
vinced, the common use of such words
as complex" moron" and "neurosis"
will have come to an end.
The science Of psychology, as far as
the famous man in the street is con-
cerned, will be as dead as phrenology.
whose terminology once was equally as
famous.
This viii come about, not because
psychology has not some good things in
it, but solely because none of them is
Of any particular help to the average
man or woman.
Words now in common usage from the
doctors halls merely push back the mys-
terry Of the human mind fraction,
merely shift it from the thing itself to
q word.
Consider such proposition as why
some men and women never leave q
room but always and invariably come
back at least once before they "leave
for good"
Every Office has at least one or two.
Selling hat and gloves, the man will
dart out the door with such speed that
the casual observer would swear he were
down in the elevator to the street floor
already.
Not so, however, as the more astute
observer knows
He may seem to be gone, but in a few
seconds here he will come back again,
to pick up a paper he left, or to look
around on his desk for nothing at all,
as far as any one else can see.
When once the observer has noticed
that this program is gone through with
each and every time, without any excep-
tions whatsoever, it begins to take on its
comic qualities
To call this some sort of compulSion
neurosiS is wide of the mark.
This fellow is free from 'em.
He comes back, some will think, be-
cause he wants to come back.
Or he usually leaves something behind
he thinks, few seconds later, he may
need.
1t may be, let us whisper, that he
wants to catch somebody making re-
mark about him.
Now there is very little psychology"
in all this. practically none, but it is
human nature just as it is, and just as
1t has been for hundreds Of years.
Fancy words with high-sounding syl-
lables explain very little.
What they may explain can be under
stood by q study of humanity, it's rea-
sons and motives.
It will be found, in almost every in
stance, that the steady room-returner is
impetuous.
Instead of gathering up carefully all
the materials he may need before he
leaves the room, he waits until he gets
to the elevator to discover something
missing.
Then he returns for 1t, very natural

action needing no scientific word to
adorn 1t.
There are only two possible points of
interest In his actions.
The first Is the fact that he never
fails to do it.
The second is that those left behind
are forced, II they are wise, also polite,
to restrain their comments until the
gentleman-or lady-has made O second
disappearance.
This brings up q plain fact-that
talking behind ones back" is vely
common.
Also, that, contrary to commonly held
opinion, it is very natural and alto
gether decent action.
At times one viii hear words to the
effect that no one ought to talk behind
another's back, when all the time it is
quite evident that all persons do it, to
some extent, and that 1t is like most
things in life, decent when decently done,
not good when badly done.
Talk about the devil and he always
shows up," so goes the old saying, which
has few better applications than In this
very matter.
II the impetuous man leaves, be sure
that he will return Just in time to hear
you talking about him!
So be very careful, in all such cases,
to say nice things about him. That is
only common sense, but there is one
trick better, and that is to say nothing
at all about him until after his invari-
able second disappearance.
Every one knows how such persons
interest people.
That is why we say that It is but
natural to talk about them behind the
back"
After all, why would any one talk
about them to their face? The sort of
talk that is carried on of this type is
almost always Of no consequence, merely
chatter, in most cases, with which the
room-returner has really nothing to do.
Just few comments, natural, good
natured, about him, perhaps-every one
indulges in such remarks, so that no
apology is needed.
The one necessary thing is not to let
him hear them.
That is the true politeness, not the
refraining from making simple, natural
remarks about him.
The world is too much in thrall to set
ideas, that you must do so and so, that
you must not do thus and thus.
Most of these ideas are much too
general, much too rigid. invariably plac-
ing the gaze upon a minor quality and
completely removing it from the place
it hurts.
1t is much better to talk good-na-
turedly about some one or other, even
behind his back" than to ignore him
altogether, or regard hims with sullen
stare.
1t is delightful to talk about people,
as a matter of fact, so delightful that
every one does it, of course.
While there are many proteStations to
the contrary, mostly they are what used
to be called bunk" and every one knows
it. Every one goes right ahead talking
behind backs" because behind 'em,
forsooth, is the very best place to talk.

such improvements, instead of benefiting
Mr.. Taxpayer as an individual property
owner, win In reality constitute dis
tinct nuisance. Nobody willingly wishes
the street In front Of his residence to
become trafnc artery.
In 1881 the old Borland act, battered
almost beyond recognition by decisions
Of the courts, which attacked its validity
and pointed out Its many inequitable
features, was revived by the local author
ities, as far as was legally possible, in
the form of new law. One Of the pro-
visions Of that new law was that there
should be no further assessments against
property which had paid prior street
assessments. It. was believed nobody
would be affected except those who had
paid assessments under the Borland act
of 1915.
Since then old tax receipts for street
assessments have come to light-some
of them dated as far back as 1860. Care
full property owners have preserved them.
And the bill Just passed by the House
provides that the exemption from new
assessments shall run back only to 1885
fifty years ago. The amount Of money
that may be saved by this almost gro
tesque reaching back into the past Is
not known. 1t cannot be much. But
the bill is plainly inequitable, as are all
assessments for street improvements
other than those used to open new
thoroughfares in new residential dis
tricts. improvements to existing streets
represent community improvements
not improvements to abutting property
and should be paid for by the community
from the general tax fund.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By

Wise PlaybOy


There's @ moneyed man in our town
and he is wondrous wise,
When bramble bushes tire him he turns
to boyhood skies:
He boards train that takes him to SUM-
shine warm and gold,
Coaches of laughing children, with a
locomotive old;
A train whose destination is an old-tirne
pleasure beach
with an ancient little crab house and
sunny bay IN reach.
The briar-escaping woridling spends q
very boyish day
Netting crabs and going swimming. And
at sundown, after play,
Has q train ride through the twilight;
many dusky clover field,
Big red barns and fertile farmlands,
with the memories they yield.
Back In town the wind-browned truant
enters palatial car,
And Is driven to his mansion, where
the bramble bushes are.

SALUTE TO APHRODITE. BY Rearden
Connor. Indianapolis: The Bobbs-
Merrill Co


Merrill Co.
Ireland in the days Of the Fenian out
RACES is the scene of the newest novel by
the author of Shake Hands With the
Devil" The story is q realistic revelation
Of peasant life In the Emerald Isle during
that period of more than thirty years ago
when political crime and private murder
were indistinguishable and when the
best man in the village was he whose
physical strength enabled him to whip
all comers into cowardly submission to
his will.
Martin Delaney, the central figure in
the crowding events of the story, is more
than abundantly qualified to hold the
questionable honor of being the big
man" OF the village Of Knockdoonvara.
In stature, in capacity for crime and in
shrewdness, his measure is large. Were
1t not for the scanty recital Of the polii-
cal and religious conditions that pre-
vailed In the days of the Fenians, the
story might easily be mistaken for one
concerning the rule of gangdom that has
in the past few years been set up in
this country. Certainly in Martin De-
laney is to be found the forerunner Of
the modern gunman.
There Is nothing In the story to Justify
its misleading title. Martin Delaney
wants to marry Stasia Mehaffey. He
has beaten and abused her father, and
she will have nothing to do with him.
He believes that IL her father were out
of the way he could win this one morsel
Of womanhood that has spurned his
attentions, and he finds the solution of
his problem simple one. He draws the
old man iYt0 a tran in the dead Of night
and shoots him from ambush. This in
cident Is the so-called Salute" The
crime is laid to the Fenians and Martin
marries Stasia. The rest is the story of
their life together. It varies from the
present-day experiences Of mismated
couples only in the circumstance of
location and in the customs of the social
class to which they belong.
Two characters, Stasia and Father
Paul, lift the novel from sordid tale Of
blaclmail, murder and untamed passion
to plane of hope for Ireland and her
future generations.
