The Unknown Soldier.
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Eoltor OF The star.
Il am the spirit hovering over the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier keeping
watch over his body; seeing his buddieS,
the populace and dignitaries who come
to worship at his shrine"
What do they think as they stand
before him in solemn obeisance? Who
was he? What was he? How did ine
die on the battlefield in defense OF his
country?
Perhaps this and much more runs
through the minds of the people as
they look down on the crypt bearing
the body.
But they did not come to worship
and extol this man, but, rather, the SOL
dier whose remains are symbolic Of the
many lives lost in the defense of his
country, given to further the peace of
his country and of the world.
Hosts of his buddies, countrymen and
others will come from time to time to
keep green the memories of those who
died during the late war, hoping that
those who made the supreme sacrifice
will not have given their lives In vain
but rather to help imbue the spirit of
eternal peace for their country with other
countries.
The spirit still hovers over the Tomb
Of the Unknown Soldier buried and
lying in state in Arlington Cemetery.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

American Liberty League, in offering
to sell 25-cent pamphlets containing
certain eminent legal opinions on cur
rent constitutional questions, may have
subjected itself to the provisions of the
District license act of July /, 1882. In
formal communication to President
Hazen of the Board of Commissioners,
Mr.. Roberts has just expressed the view
that the wholesale distribution of
pamphlets of this kind is sale of mer-
chandise" within the meaning OF the
act He, therefore, wants to know
whether the National Lawyers Commit
tee of the Liberty League has secured
whether proper steps should not be
taken to compel compliance with the
law.
Former Assistant Secretary of Com
merce Julius Klein, who has established
himself as a professional business con-
sultaht, has just formed partnership
which includes Leonard Stanley,
organized j. p Morgan investment house
of Morgan, Stanley g. Co. This tie-in
with the principal citadel of American
lllSIl llIldIlCc, plus III. hlcul huIlu-LOcU
contact, represents rather unique COM
bination, in view of the ancient rivalry
between the two big international bank
ing houses. DR.. Klein, who commutes
between his Washington and New York
Offices. was recently decorated with the
CzechoSlovakian order of the White Lion
in recognition of his service during
Hoover days in helping the Prague gov
ernment to establish q commercial in
telligence service on lines of the pre-
Roosevelt Bureau of Foreign and Do
mestic Commerce at Washington.
At the latest White House press con-
ference scribe piped up to ask Mr..
Roosevelt if he cared to comment on a
statement attributed to Gen. Hugh
johnson, that DR.. Felix Frankfurter is
now the most influential" man in the
United States. While the query was
arousing the mirth of the conference,
another newspaper man chirped: We'll.
Mr.. President, what's the answer?"
Quoth F. D. R.. Il think you fellows have
given the answer!'

to take advantage Of the opportunity
and to provide for reconstruction along
more substantial lines.
OF course, there was ample precedent
for the courage demonstrated by the men
and women of Helena. San Francisco,
Chicago, Galveston and Baltimore are
fairer cities today because of the cata-
clysms which befell them in the past.
In each instance, tragic catastrophe was
utilized in the interests Of progress.
Accidents in individual lives provi-
dentially often have like effect. The
human soul frequently, If not always,
meets the challenge Of fate. Liabilities
are converted into assets under the COM
pulsion of will to triumph, and the
bitter experiences of the moment become
by grace of conscience an endowment
for the future. Every person, however
fortunate or successful, has memories
which prompt him to his best effort. The
race grows wiser by processes of pain.
Only when, after millions Of years, the
sun fades out and the earth slows down
to a final stop will the gradual evolution
of the spirit which has made America
cease.

The American Spirit.

On certain occasion, many years ago,
great forest fire swept over a heavily
timbered section of the beautiful State
of Maine. The wind carried sparks from
the blazing trees to the home of farmer,
and the house burned to the ground.
Newspaper men, covering the story, saw
the farmers wife take brands from the
smoldering wreck-to cook breakfast.
The incident, observers decided, was
symptomatic of the American spirit.
And the same principle was manifest
in the reaction of the people of Helena,
Mont, when their city recently was
shaken by successive earthquakes Even
while walls still were falling, tremors
still being felt. the community began the
task of rebuilding The disaster was
accepted without complaint. its losses
charged of" with philosophic resigna-
ton. But the lesson Of the experience
was not missed. Instead, It was resolved
Evening star., 1935-11-11

of the executive branch toward such
expenditures. Beyond arousing senti-
ment in Congress and in the country for
greater governmental economy, and ex-
posing waste if there be waste, this
committee can do little. AS q practical
matter the Appropriations Committee OF
the House will shape the measures that
carry the funds for the Government de-
partments. Already the chairman OF
that committee, Representative Bu-
chanan of Texas, has delivered sharp
ultimatum to the House and to the
executive branch of the Government that
there must be marked curtailment Of
governmental expenditures.
The Congress at its late session put
through the greatest appropriation bill
in its history-the so-called work-relief
act-which carried total Of 1880, ,000,.
600. But that was not all of the govern
mental appropriations, not by billions
of dollars. What the next session holds
for the country in the matter of appro-
priations Is vital. No country and no
government can continue to spend far
beyond its means and survive.
The present demand on the part Of
the Committee on Expenditures is =
move in the right direction, provided
that the committee is in earnest and
intends to drive through to the end A
mere gesture would have little value,
outside of the field of politics. The at
tack on the Roosevelt administration
because of the spending of billions Of
dollars that the Government does not
have is becoming more and more severe.
The demand for a balanced budget is
growing.

The Chest Drive Opens.

The choice Of Armistice day for the
opening Of the Washington Community
Chest campaign is wise and appropriate.
1t has the value of striking contrast,
anyway, because, as every one realizes.
there never can be any armistice with
poverty, disease, social maladjustment
or any similar condition which causes
human suffering.
Few persons require to be convinced
Of either the need for the Chest or its
efficiency. Indeed. there must be only
q handful of residents of the District
of Columbia who have not had oppor-
tunity at one time or another in recent
years to test the value of the associated
agencies The influence Of such organi-
cations is general; it reaches into every
home, touches every individual Thus,
it follows that the endowment of service
which is asked benefits all classes, all
parts of the city. No more serious mis-
take could be made than that of sup
posing that the community effort helps
only a particular minority. A broader
significance can be demonstrated to the
satisfaction of any skeptic who may wish
to inquire.
The sponsors of the Chest drive, there
fore. are we'll within their rights when
they ask some contribution from every
man, woman and child able to give. None
is exiled from the human family in
which all are members; none is exempt
from participation in a human enter
prise from which all will profit. Let
the campaign, then, be accepted as was
the call to arms in 1917, and let WASH
ington heed the summons in the same
spirit, with the same devotion and to-
ward as great a success.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

become very much discouraged. 1t
seems that they cannot step outdoors
without running q grave risk. Then,
once, they have caught a bit Of sand
or other matter, they experience unusual
difficulty in dislodging it.
Prevention Is better than cure. 1t Is
much better not to get dust in the eye,
in the first place, than to remove 1t
afterward, even if the matter is an easy
process, as it is for some fortunate per-
sons. The cinder-susceptible, as he
might be called, often has very "touchy"
eyelids. Even an occulist has difficulty
in rolling back the upper lid. The
moment he touches any part Of the
eye the lids close swiftly enough and
tightly.
Wherefore, it will be we'll for all suf-
ferers to learn the art of closing the
eyes quickly when speed is needed.
The first step is entirely mental, to
keep we'll in mind the danger, even on q
MINDLESS day, of stepping squarely into
q piece OF foreign matter.
The second is akin, to keep the eyes
partly closed while outdoors on street
or sidewalk.
The third follows closely and is simply
completely at the very first CLINT Of
danger.
We use the word CLINT" advisedly.
Often the forewarned person is able
to detect the cinder, or dust, or insect
just as 1t starts to make its unwelcome
entrance.
A quick closing, then, often keeps the
thing aotiraly hIIt tho nY1ly thiS
can be done is by eternal vigilance.
1t is decent caution to realize that
most of the things that get into the
eyes do not carry lanterns, exactly, but
that some of them can be glimpSed, as
it were, just as they are hurtling to
hurt you.
Persons who get things in their eye"
easily are particularly dogged by insects.
Gnats, mayflies. midges, even flying ants,
are attracted by the CLINT of the eye and
seem to delight in trying to go at those
more widely open than usual.
1t is only common sense, therefore,
on the part of these persons, to think
OF this possibility while they are in the
open air. especially while walking in
the suburbs, or gardening there.
Once an insect gets in, the aqueous
IuIlOT Ol lie eye, dS ~ Is CdlleQ, LenQS
to hold it there, much as fly is en-
tangled with old-faShioned flypaper.
1t is a good policy to wave the hand
in front of the face, every few steps,
while walking along some country road
where many insects are flying around.
This motion helps keep them away,
also it reminds the walker Of his danger.
If foreign body gets in the eye, the
best thing to do is to hold the eye shut
for second or two and refuse to be-
come mentally Stampeded. Only those
with sensitive eyes can comprehend this
feeling of near panic.
If the object will not come out by
a simple rubbing-not too hard-one
should not continue paving at the eye.
One ought not to permit a well-meaning
but clumsy friend to do any paving,
either. Often an eye cup and water
will help get it out, and often enough
the object comes out of its own accord
during sleep. Care should be taken
on awakening to make certain that the
object is not rubbed back in. If anything
that gets in the eye is not out by the
next morning, the case should be taken
to the doctor.

Government Expenditures.

Government expenditures have wor-
ried and are continuing to worry many
people. The House Committee on Ex-
1t is now revealed has asked every de-
partment and independent agency of the
Government to tell it how money can
be saved. It will be interesting to see
the replies when they are made. What,
for example, will be the suggestion Of
Harry L. Hopkins, head of the F. E. r. A.
and greatest dispenser of Government
funds?
The House committees request for
information is indicative of the growing
feeling in Congress that the purse strings
must be frightened. The huge Govern
ment spending, the vast increase in the
public debt, and the shadow which ap-
preaching taxes cast before them, taken
together constitute a problem that is
giving concern to members of Congress
Democratic members as we'll as Repub-
lican. The Committee on Expenditures
in the Executive Departments is headed
by Representative John j. Cochran of
Missouri and is composed of fifteen
Democrats and six Republicans. The
demand for information which may help
toward a balanced budget, therefore,
does not come in this instance from
Republican quarters.
If the House Committee on Expendi-
lures, in addition to obtaining answers
to its questions from the executive de-
partments and independent offices, holds
public hearings its procedure may be
effective. Certainly it will show to the
country the details of what is being done
with the public money and the attitude

Trafhc dargers are not the only ones
encountered in daily city life.
Getting something in the eye, whether
q gnat or a bit Of dust, may constitute
a serious accident.
Commonly, however, it Is not so re-
garded by the other fellow, the dear
other fellow who often manages to find
happiness in the miShapS of friends.
To see some wight clap his hand to
his eye and paw helplessly at an Offend
ing but invisible object
What greater delight Is there, to many
beholders?
Yet 1t is plain that the desire to laugh
at such mishaps is not as widespread
today as In the past.
Every one, whether gifted with a sense
of humor or not, realizes that something
or other in the eye may lead to serious
trouble.
1t Is not always realized that. when it
comes to this common accident. human
ity Is divided into two classes and all Of
us come into one or the other.
The first group comprises all persons
with good eyelashes.
The second, those with poor or almost
no lashes.
Look at your acquaintances, from now
on, and note that they fall In one or
the other class.
Often the man or woman with poor
or Indifferent eyelashes also has widely
opened eyes.
In many cases it will be found that
such persons also are unable to close
or bat" their eyelids together quickly.
These handicaps make it possible for
their poSSeSSors to gather up dust and
the like when members Of the other
group almost always escape. The latter,
not being bothered, often are prone to
discount the likelihood of injury to the
others.
Those susceptible in this way must
take plain precautions, for not only is
cinder in the eye an evident diScom-
fort, but it may be the beginning Of
more serious trouble.
The first thing such people must do
is to keep in mind at all times while
outdoors the possibility of accident.
This means that they ought to refrain
from looking with too-wide-open eyes
at anything, no matter who or what
the attraction.
This is such an elemental proposition
that 1t probably will be overlooked by
all those who disdain, in this life, to
think about Self-evident propositions.
The fact that thing is very plain,
however. is often the very reason why we
must think about it.
We may know it so we'll that we dis
count 1t. and thus do the very thing we
ought not to do When this comes down
to eyes, it is very easy to forget, when
one goes outdoors, to beware of looking
too intently, for looking intently ordi-
narily means opening the eyes to their
widest extent.
The second point is this To be par
ticularly wary when walking through a
door into the outdoors
The open door creates a draft and
tends to pick up small bits of foreign
matter.
If one walks through q door, there
fore, without keeping the eyes semi
closed, one is very liable to bit of
dust lodging therein.
If, of course. ones eyes are easily
filled.
Sometimes the members of this proup

Arnistice DaV.

Today the people of the United States,
In common with those of Great Britain,
France and other countries, commemo-
rate the termination of the World War
and pay tribute to the fallen OF that
sad struggle. 1t is OF course, hitting
and proper that the date should be
remembered and the dead accorded the
homage which, by their sacrifice, they
have earned. Yet ArmiStice Day, 1885,
has an aspect of hollow mockery that
cannot be denied. The anniversary finds
the earth afflicted by passions and
hatreds, ambitions of greedy aggrandize-
ment and fears of retribution so much
like those of 1914 as to indicate the
eventual outbreak of another and per-
haps more cataclySmic conflict. Nations,
it seems, have learned nothing from
experience.
Indeed, in the instances of Japan and
Italy, military self assertion appears to
have become a habit, with weak and
backward neighbors in the role of vic
tins, and the conscience of the human
race has had no expression equal to
the need for opposition to their inde-
fensible designs. The League of Ma
tions and the World Court are but
shadows of the forces they should be if
they are to have any effect as imple-
ments for the correction of such crimes
net Twill
enough, certainly, have been signed;
promises of arbitration in sufficient num-
Der made. Yet the pledges actually kept
may be counted on the fingers OF one
hand
Democracy, too, has suffered all but
complete eclipse since the conclusion OF
the ordeal which, theoretically, was to
save it from wanton violation by forces
of reaction. Russia and Germany are
controlled by dictatorS who set the style
for the masters of lengthy list OF
smaller states. The very name of free
dom is a jest, and even those popula-
tions which have power to choose un-
hesitatingly yield themselves to dema-
gogues whose only valid claim to recog-
milton is that of their shameless sophistry
and brazen presumption.
Meanwhile, the soldier known only to
God cannot rest in his beautiful shrine
at Arlington. Rather, his valiant spirit
must be moving in the hearts of millions.
Faithful in death as in life to the high
ideals which sent him to the fields of
Armageddon, his soul cannot enjoy re-
pose while the justice and mercy he
paid for with his blood are withheld.
He symbolizes a covenant whose terms
must be fulfilled by individuals as well
as by governments. The race for which
he inundated himself owes him that
debt And the Almighty Father surely
realizes that the common folk of the
earth are trying to pay. The hope for
peace is strong among the masses. Per-
haps never before since history first
was written has there been such uni
versal distrust of the processes of con-
test. Hence the increasing Importance
of November II in the calendar of the
generality of men. 1t is the day on
which they rededicate themselves. And
who shall dare to believe that their con-
secration is vain? Instead, it is destined
to achieve its purpose soon or late, de-
spite its handicaps and hindrances The
will to harmony and tolerance is growing
steadily stronger, and its final triumph
cannot be delayed forever.

Casuella, 1.-THE and gay,
Steps upon the scene today.
Coronet of FURNISHED hair,
Gowned in satin lily-fair,
Chaste neckline, slim back left bare.
Curving waist and slender thighs
Outlined in the modern guise.
Cleaning ankles, slippered feet
Trained to tread in rhythm fleet
Nonchalant. audacious, sweet.
CaSuella, in your day,
Make the most of your cool sway.
Youth, your priceless debut dover:
Youth, your light, ephemeral power
Use 1t wisely in your hour.
