A Stadium for Washington.

Prospect of the creation of a sta
dium in Washington, which has long
been desired and required, is now
brighter than ever, with the ALLEGATION
Of funds by the Public Works Admin
istration for the preparation of plans
and with the assignment Of engineers
for the testing of the soil on the banks
OF the Anacostia River to determine
the possibility of its location on the
eastern edge of the city. Work in this
research into the suitability of the
suggested site will soon start and the
actual planning of the arena is to be-
gin Immediately.
For many years the need Of a sta
dunn at the Capital has been felt. It
was once proposed that 1t be located
in East Potomac Park. President
Theodore Roosevelt advocated this de-
velopment, but nothing was done In
that direction, as objections were
raised that the space available was
not adequate and furthermore that
there would be serious difficulty in the
accommodation of the multitudes
seeking access to the place of assem-
blage.
The site now proposed and about to
be subjected to tests is advantageously
situated as respects available expanse

above the average.
MICHAEL,S WIFE. BY Alice De Ford.
Boston: Lothrop, Lee & Shepard
Co.
Marrying for pity instead of love
seems a poor beginning, but in this
fashioned, well-told story the re-
suit is satisfactory and the romance
is prolonged. Michael Cochrane IS
sorry for Julie Byrd because she Is
alone; he also wants companion IN
his big house, Windyhill. Julie, how
ever, loves Michael, but sets herself
to conceal the fact in order not to
bother him and interfere with his
devotion to his estate. It takes a
visit of MichaeTs younger brother,
Toby, who, unfortunately for him,
falls in love with Julie, to make
Michael discover his own love for her.
This plot recalls dozens of the period
of the famous sos and 90s.

industries embodied this theory. In
most of them there were provisions
for price-fixing, indirect if not direct.
There we're also restrictions upon pro-
duction. The policy of its adminis-
tratiVe officers has been to shorten
hours and increase wage scales.
These features were all new, for
they were a departure from the long
accepted theory that only through
competition could productive power
be increased and higher standards Of
living attained. They have been tried
out for more than year, and the re-
suits afford basis for conclusions.

petition of q Western lumber associa-
ton to eliminate price-fixing uncov-
cred what they are in the lumber in
dustry. Several leading dealers testi-
fed that this provision had made an
army of scoffiaws and law-breakers'
because lumber could not be sold at
the price set. One of them, in de-
Scribing the situation, said:
Now, nobody pays any attention to
the code. Some say abandonment Of
price fixing would cause price collapse.
My answer to that is that costs are too
high, prices just cannot go back
Another stated that if price-fixing
provisions were enforced it would drive
every small dealer out of the business.

Pacific Coast had completely col

Argus-Leader, "are pressing steadily
forward in their campaign to obtain

1t is probable, therefore, that some
measure will be introduced in the seS-
sion of the South Dakota Legislature
in January. Our State Constitution
blocks such regulation, but smooth
talk may be employed in ar effort to
convince the solons that the Constitu-
ton is merely scrap of paper"
The Kansas City Times condemns
the proposed 30-hour week measure
with the comment: I'm view of the
increasingly obvious failure of the
N. r. A. to do what was expected Of
it, any attempt to push its funda-
mental idea to a further extreme Is
decidedly incongruouS. 1t would, If it
got anywhere, be only a blow to the
reviving confidence, the consumer
buying and the promise of industrial
expansion that afford the best as

Mr.. Roosevelt Looks Abroad.

President Roosevelt evinces regret
in his message to Congress that he
cannot conscientiously report improve
ment in the international situation
beyond our shores. Naturally, he re-
trains from mentioning names, but
he refers pointedly to the many old
jealousies resurrected. old passions
aroused" He speaks of the new
strivings for armament and power, in
more than one land" which rear
their ugly heads" leaving it to the
American people and the world at
large, in light of recent and current
developments in both hemispheres, to
figure out for themselves at whom he
is fitting.
There is no less significance in the
Presidents expression of hope that
calm counsel and constructive leader
ship will provide the steadying influ-
ence and the time necessary for the
coming of new and more practical
forms of representative government
throughout the world" There seems
little question but that Mr.. Roosevelt
thus thrusts at those various systems
of m:litarism and dictatorship which
have enthroned what he describes as
privilege and displaced welfare"
Despite such conditions abroad, the
President believes that Americas own
peaceful and neighborly attitude" is
coming to be appreciated and under
Stood" He afirns that "the main
tenance of international peace is a
matter in which we are deeply and
unselflshly concerned" The United
States is inspired by persistent and
undeniable desire to prevent armed
conflict" Whether proponents of
American entry into the World Court
will be satisfied with this abstract
expression of the United States pref
erence for judicial arbitrament of
international disputes remains to be
seen. Mr.. Roosevelt does not men
tion the court.
Because of the recent failure to
reach new agreements for naval limi-
tation there is highly suggestive i'm
portance in the Presidents assertion
that there is no ground for appre-
hension that our relations with any
nation will be otherwise than peace
full" But there is fairly direct hint
to all whom it may concern in Mr..
Roosevelt's further observation that
there is also no ground for doubt that
"the people of most nations seek relief
from the threat and burden attaching
to the false theory that extravagant
armament cannot be reduced and
limited by international accord"
The Presidents language is neces-
sarily guarded, and perhaps even a
bit cryptic. yet it is exceedingly
meaningful. Its true import will
hardly be missed in those quarters
overseas at which it is inferentially
directed.

and accessibility. It would be as con-

ana dCCeSSlUlllty' ~ Woulu VIC 40 VIII
yenient as any other location and fur
thermore it would have the advantage
of a water area Immediately adjacent
for aquatic sports. This space on the
eastern border of the city has been
comparatively slow in development,
owing to the river conditions, which
have lately been greatly improved.
Consequently there is ample room for
a stadium capable>of accommodating
O great essemblage and of furnishing
the scene of the largest events in
sport, which Washington has always
lacked and which it should possess.
The tentative plan for a stadium
includes the erection Of a National
Guard armory, which is and has long
been one of the standing items Of
the program of Capital development.
This body Of the citizen soldiery Of the
District has never had proper home.
It has been housed here and there, in
makeshift quarters, always inadequate
in size and accommodations. 1t is
now established in one of the old
hotels, taken as part Of the site OF the
projected Municipal Center. Combi-
nation of stadium and Guard armory,
the stadium affording space for drill
field, would be a most satisfactory
solution of this problem.
With a great stadium, built in ac-
cordance with the best plans for such
q feature of civic life, Washington
would be in a position to be the scene
of notable sporting events, such as, for
example, the annual Army Navy foot
bail game, which should by all reck-
oning be staged at the Capital. Cere-
monial affairs, staged on large scale,
could be witnessed by many thousands
with comfort and safety. The need
is evident. The opportunity is at hand.
If the engineers find that the projected
site is suitable as respects foundations
the work should proceed without delay.

unnatural means, with the result that
an ever increasing proportion Of the
population is being supported at the
taxpayers expense, and We are fast
approaching the brink of economic
chaos.
To be sure, we need new deal, but
not of the Rooseveltian type, based as
it is on economic and other fallacies.
Prosperity is not to be had by the
shameful reputation of national obli-
cations; the conflscation OF gold, the
unsettlement of the standard of value,
the debaSement of the currency, the
violation of the Constitution, the Gov
ernment by executive order instead Of
by law, the piling up of the national
debt, the conf1scatory increase in taxa
ton, the artificial raising Of prices,
the competition of the Government in
business, the use Of the peoples money
to increase the cost Of food to the
people by farmers bonuses, the lirnita-
ton of crops, the destruction Of food,
the regimentation Of industry, the
withdrawal Of profit from business,
the encouragement OF monopolies, the
fear Of imitation or the other accom-
plishments of the present regime.
There never has been overproduc-
tion in this country-even in the best
of times by far the larger part of the
population has been underfed. poorly
clothed and improperly housed. With
potential abundance millions have
been in want. If this means anything
it means improper distribution. Prices
are too high, yet the Government
strives to make them higher.
For many years we have tried trade
restriction with foreign nations as
means of prosperity, on the theory
that high prices produce better living
conditions and that American indus
try must be protected, but as the
higher prices are paid by ourselves,
and as the protection is also at our
own expense, this looks very much
like an attempt to raise ourselves by
our bootstraps. Nothing is gained
thereby, but much is lost for the net
result is to deprive ourselves of low
priced goods together with the profit
which might be had in the exchange
of things which we can produce to ad-
vantage for those which we cannot.
True economy requires that indus
tries which cannot be operated advan-
tageously be abandoned. Not imme-
diately, of course, for that would cause
economic disturbance, but gradually
by constant progressive lowering of
the tariff until that most foolish
method of raising public revenue is
abandoned. To tax foreign trade is
to main the goose that lays the golden
egg and to restrict distribution. The
removal of the tariff would constitute
veritable new deal and one which
would, in all probability, usher in
period of unexampled prosperity,
similar to that which followed the
adoption of free trade by England but
on q much larger scale. Any curtail-
ment of industry involved thereby
would be doubly offset by the in
creased output of those things which
we can produce to advantage and sell
abroad. In this way only is there
hope that distribution can be greatly
increased and poverty to large ex-
tent abolished. 1t certainly cannot
be done by unnatural means and the
violation of sound economic principles.

Vigorous Style.

William Bayard Hale, in a political
pamphlet entitled 1.-THE Story Of a
Style" published in 1920. made an
experiment in literary analysis which
ought not to be forgotten. Instead,
1t would be well If 1t we're examined
with care by every aspirant for honor
in the field of letters. Time and en-
ergy spent in acquiring its lesson
certainly would not be wasted.
The philosophy which prompted
the test Mr.. Hale explained in the
summary:
It is with true instinct that
language calls the part of speech
which represents action the verb
the word. The task of speech is to
predicate, not to paint. The advance
OF thought is just so swift as the
verbs carry it. Adjectives qualify,
describe, limit. They are a brake, a
drag on the wheel-often necessary
In order that advance may be kept
In the right track-but not near so
often necessary as they are COM
monty and lazily deemed to be. They
are popular, because easy; they exc
out effortless poverty of idea. The
man who has something to tell has
little need, little time, for them; he
snaps out his tale in words of
action,
The worlds great story-tellers and
thinkers have generally written In
action words, not quality words.
Against this background of doctrine
Mr.. Hale then checked the works Of
a score of masters. Shakespeare, he
found, used nine adjective and four
teen verbs in a passage Of 10e words;
Charles Dickens, six adjectives and

Boulder Dam Will Function

From the Pasadena (Calif) Star-News.
Those who said it could not be
done; that it would require years
longer than anticipated, If 1t ever
were finished, and that the cost esti-
mates were far too low, row must re-
wise their gloomy forecasts concerning
Boulder Dam. This gigantic enter
prise now is reported 90 per cent COM
plete. The contractors are two and
one-half years ahead of the construc-
ton schedule. There will be no need
for supplemental appropriations.
Storage Of water behind the big dam
starts in January.

is due for revision was that which said

Predictions which have been made
of great changes in the National Re-
covery Administration meet with little
support in editorial discussion. 1t is
even declared that the new Congress
will give little attention to proposals
for important changes in the law.
There is increasing evidence says
the st. Joseph (Mo9 News-Press,
that, in spite Of the attacks that have
been made upon the N. r. A. and re-
gardless of numerous complaints with
regard to the manner in which its
policies have been carried out, the
business interests of the Nation as well
as the working people believe there Is
more good than harm in the plan"
AS evidence of the undesirability OF
authorizing new tasks for N. r. A, the
New York Herald Tribune summarizes
the experience of the past year: THE
history has been the familiar one Of
so many other efforts at 'carteliZa-
ton in industries not favorably organ
lied for it. The high prices shriveled
a market already too small, that
brought violations too many to be sup
pressed, these compelled further vio-
lations by competing firms. businesses
soon found themselves threatened with
extinction if they obeyed the code and
with prosecution if they did not, and
the result was chaos which by the
end of this Summer had brought large
elements of the industry to foresee
disaster ultimately complete unless
the price-fxing provisions were abol-
ished."
Our prediction, states the Muskegon
(Mich.) Chronicle, sis that there will
be no new N. r. A. legislation in the
1885 Congress. The thought of the
Nation is too far from even an ap-
proach to unity and the constitutional
issues are too uncertain. There will
be q renewal of the present law for
another year, and meantime we shall
mark time, as we are now, waiting to
see what will develop"

Jose Mercury Herald, was based on
the theory that raising prices and
