Meriden Endees
 Lose Hoop Title

Meriden, March 15 = The Mer- iden St Stans won the city bas- ketball championship last night beating the Endees in the third game of their series, 43 to 34. The Endees had compiled an impress sive seasons record prior to the start of the season and few thought they would be beaten out of the championship.
 The St Stanislaus set the pace from the beginning but were over hauled by an exciting Endee rally early in the last quarter the Endees jumping ahead by 30-29. But after Pechuk and Oliver had been chased out on fouls, the Endees went to pieces and the St Stans rushed ahead to open a nine point gap before the final whistle. The Knights beat the Mohawks, 27 to 26, in the preliminary.

not there is such spot conveniently near
to the village in which Redfern is
thought to be.
But, by grace of mechanical science,
the experiment can and will be under
taken. Maj. Willis Taylor of the Army
Air Corps, stationed in the Canal Zone,
has expressed his desire to try, and it is
indicated that he will be granted leave
Of absence for that purpose. The quest
will be watched with the hopes and
prayers of the Nation.
And word may be added for the OBJ
ject of the search. A hint that he has
Been crippled has been reproduced in
dispatches to the press. But it would be
regrettable if he were to feel Unfortunately
discouraged by that circumstance. In
stead, his experience has equipped him
to tell tale which the world wants to
hear-a narrative of vast potential eth
nographic and geographic Importance.
He need have no hesitance about the
future. If Maj. Taylor brings him back
to his countrymen they will know how
to take care of him.

Safe Driving Hindered by
Using Streets as Garages

To the Editor of The Star:
With reference to the traffic prob
lem in Washington I wish to say If the
Commissioners do not soon make the
people of this city provide proper storage
for their cars there is no use in all these
safety drives and all this other talk of
deaths, and so on. Safe driving is not
possible with cars parked on both sides
of the streets. Then. too, cars are
parked just any way. Some Of the cars
in Georgetown are left parked near the
curb for days and days.
The people who live next to my hum
BILE little home have a chauffeur and
two cars. and they park both of these
cars in front of my door, as they cannot
afford garage. I am a poor man, but I
can still pay So a month for a place TO
put my car.
When the new city heads came in
all the property owners of this city be-
lieved that the first thing they would do
would be to ask that Congress pass a
law requiring each car owner to provide
place for storing his car, but the new
city heads are doing nothing. Such things
as real hard times do not exist in WASH
ington. There are few people in this
city who own cars that are fit to drive
who are not able to pay So or less for
a garage.
Now that the people of moderate
means have made garages of the streets,
the real rich are doing it also This
abuse of the streets is very serious
problem and it is high time that the
Commissioners insist that a real law is
passed to remedy the situation.

diate contact with the ways and means
of naval efficiency which are made pos
sible by these large annual expenditures.
Yesterday was also marked by the
launching of several ships of war and
the laying of the keels of others. Thus
there was evidence of the material
growth of the Navy to the point of the
national requirement, which is and must
continue to be that of second to none"
in the world. Navy day in this manner
was commemorated practically. And
after all sufficient floating defense is
essentially e. practical matter of good
government, not sentiment, not mere
gesture. 1t was in that spirit that the
day was observed, and the peoples re-
sponse was a token of their acceptance
of the guarantee that the American
Nation is and will continue to be prop
erly equipped for the safeguarding of its
interests, at home and abroad, through
the medium of sufficient naval force.

1t so happens that these peculiar CAL
cium lines show up in the spectra. It
is unlikely, DR.. Abbot says. that the gas
is composed entirely of calcium. If it is
assumed that the composition of matter
IN nterstellar space is about the same
as on the earth it is necessary to mul-
tlply by 100 to get the total
These lead to a calculation of the total
density of the interstellar gas as less
than an octrillionth of a gram for cubic
centimeter. There is about one atom
per 100 cubic centimeters of space. One
cubic centimeter of air at sea level and
at degrees centigrade contains approx
mately 100000 900, 900 ,0O0, 900 molecules.
The great distances between the atoms
of the cosmic gas, DR.. Abbot says. prob
ably must be considered as empty
space"
1t is difficult to imagine what this
would be like, he points out, and the
term has meaning only to a theoretical
physicist. Yet the condition itself must
exist. even in the densest matter. The
almost infinitely minute spaces between
the outer electrons and the protons of
an atom must be empty also. Relative
to the size of the atomic system these
emptinesses are of enormous size, COM
parable to the sizes between the planets
of the solar system and the sun.
1t probably requires no greater stretch
of the imagination, DR.. Abbot says, to
conceive of empty space in the heavens
than of empty space in the atom.
Some regions of space may be emptier
than others. There is some evidence,
he points out, that there are condensa-
tionS in the general cloud in some direc-
tions. Statistically, however, the density
of interstellar calcium is approximately
constant in all parts of the Milky Way
system up to distances of 5000 to 5000
light years from the sun.

Alien Office Holders in
District of Columbia

To the Editor Of The Star:
Perhaps the Ohio Representative who
came to Washington to have his cam
paign manager, who also is an Ohioan,
installed as postmaster of the Capital
City was not as naive as would appear
on the surface.
The traffic director is Pennsylvania
His principal assistant is Tennessean.
The insurance commissioner is from
Arkansas. Our health officer is from
Syracuse. The District Attorney is from
Virginia. The United States marshal
may be Washingtonian. but his staff
was recruited mostly from the States
Quite number of the local judiciary
are outsiders. The recorder of deeds is
a Kansan. And so on and so forth
But why bother about it? In the
course of time all these foreigners"
will have become, like the former Steu-
benville boy who is our present post
master. acclimated and assimilated Is
not our city now filled with ex-Senators,
ex-Representatives and ex-officials of
multitudinous variety who have grown
so attached to us that they simply cannot
pull themselves away to go back home
except occasionally to vote. They all
make good residents if not good
citizens.
Instead of complaining about it. we
might be employing our time to better
advantage by rejoicing over the fact
that Providence and politics have fur
nished us unique method for increasing
our population. We need not concern
ourselves at all about birth rates.

Grade Crossing to Go.

At long last one of the few remaining
grade crossings in the District, which
has been source of anxiety for many
years and the scene of some bad acci-
dents and has been ON the list for be-
lated correction, is in actual process of
elimination. This is the crossing at
Michigan avenue in Brookland, where
an overpasS is to be erected Condemna-
tion proceedings have been begun in the
District Court. They will occupy several
days. But such procedure will not be
unduly irkSome in view of the fact that
relief from this deadly danger is now
assured. This particular crossing has
been a troublesome problem because of
the physical conditions which involve
the property rights of a large number
of persons. The plans finally adopted
assure not only the removal of the high
way from the grade of the railroad, but
a Strengthening of the line for the Incl
dental improvement of traffic conditions.
In other words the correction will be
satisfactory in respect to the public con-
venience and safety and not a makeshift
such as has been forced in some other
cases by economy and the obstructive
tactics of land owners. With this grade
crossing eliminated a heavy volume of
traffic will be accommodated in perfect
safety. There remain few other places
in the District which require attention
and action, and these, it is to be hoped.
will soon be reached so that the ideal
which has been held for many years. in
fact ever since the consolidation of the
railroad terminals in 1905, nearly a third
of century ago, may be finally attained.

Search for Paul Redfern.

There will be great public interest in
the search for Paul Redfern. To thou
sands of people who never have adven-
lures of their own the romance of the
Georgia aviators disappearance has gu
thentic fascination. Supposedly lost in
the jungles of Dutch Guiana on the
north coast of South America, the miss
ing flyer has a place with David Living
stone, wandering in mid-Africa until
found by Henry Morton Stanley, and Col.
P. H. Fawcett, still unreported from the
interior of Brazil, where he vanished in
1923.
But Redfern, it seems, is far more like
ly to be rescued than his contemporary.
If his plane came down on a savannah,
as the State Department has heard, he
stood good chance to survive the crash.
Also, there are reasons to believe that
he would not be treated unkindly in the
event of falling into the hands of So
called Djurkas or Marrons, the bush
Negroes descended from slaves who long
ago escaped to the forests.
The problem now is that of reaching
him. To make the journey from Para
maribo to the Paloemeu River by boat
and on foot, it has been estimated,
would require approximately forty days.
The same distance could be negotiated
by air in few hours But, of course,
landing place must be available, and only
careful investigation by scout plane could
answer the question as to whether or

busting off the stars" may not be
such far-fetched idea, after ALL
There is evidence that a vast amount
OF extremely fine dust has accumulated
IN the universe since time began, accord
ing to a summary of the present status
OF knowledge regarding interstellar
space in the annual report of the Smith
sonial Institution.
The concept of dust in space, explains
DR.. Charles G. Abbot, is supported by
the fact that distant stars appear redder
than stars of the same brightness closer
at hand. Something must be dispensing
the blue and violet light in the spectrum
of starlight so that the further away its
source the less of it is able to reach the
earth. At the same time this inter
fering medium apparently has little
effect on the red light waves.
This is precisely the effect, DR.. Abbot
explains. of a fine cloud of dust. If the
dust particles have approximately the
diameterS of light lengths they tend to
deplete the shorter WavelengthS of light
passing through them, such as the blue
and violet, more than they do the longer
ones, such as red
Although the dust cloud hypothesis
still is not satisfactorily proven, Dr.
Abbot says, there is little question but
that the more distant blue stars are
actually redder than the nearer ones of
the same class.
In any event, he explains, space no
longer can be considered as a vacuum
although the density of matter in the
vast expanSes between the stars is mil
lions of times less than is the most
tenuous vacuum" possible to attain
on earth.
Space, says DR.. Abbot. most certainly
Is pervaded by an extremely diffuse
gas, the composition of which is uncer-
tain, but which contains great numbers
of the atoms of the element calcium, the
metallic constituent of lime. The spec
troscope. splitting up light from any
angle of the heavens, reveals certain
lines which are known to be due to
luminous calcium and whose invariability
shows that they are not produced by the
light from the stars themselves. The
intensity of these lines increases with
the thickness of calcium gas they pass
through and it is found to vary directly
with the distance of the star upon which
the spectroScope is turned.
The lines are produced only by ionized
calcium atoms, which constitute about
one in a thousand. Assuming that the
same proportion exists in space as on
earth it is possible to calculate the total
number of calcium atoms in the space
between the earth and star. 1t turns
out to be about 100000 600, ,00O, 900 900

Books ''Off the Shelf"
At Library of Congress

To the Editor of The Star:
Just east of the Capitol is an edifce
known as the Congressional Library
This institution seems to have been put
up by the American people with the
thought of keeping books available to
the public. Now, apparently so far as
the taxpayer is concerned, the idea is
to enter respectfully, gaze in bareheaded
rapture upon the art that adorns it's
walls, and, without entering the sane
forum "for readers only" depart. For
tunately the decorations are permanent
part of the realty.
Not so with the books. For their ac-
cessibility they may as well be stored in
heaven.
More and more copies are "off the
shelf" most of the time, some for years.
Every call produces the same alibi. Spe-
cial searches by the courteous, over
worked librarians are unavailing, as they
must be if the volumes are not there.
1t is not difficult to guess what is hap
pening The only mystery is why the
beneficiaries do not get the shelves.
Perhaps the dearth of books from this
"non- circulating" library could be less
ened If the privilege of taking them were
given only to those able to read one in
three years. j. H. BOYER.

Aunt Mary smiled.
"Yes, honey" she said, "but I'm spared

Dear old Aunt Mary was as right as
right can be. One has but to think of
all the words spoken every day to realize
she was right.
1t might be convenience, one may
many many words hurled in any given
direction.
Despite the injunction that silence is
the contrary basis.
Words come sprawling forth at every
opportunity, words which often mean
little or nothing. but seem to be uttered
just for the sake of their uttering.
How much time and energy are used
every day in answering needless queS-
tions is beyond computation.
There is no human way of telling Just
how many hours have been utilized in
personal defense against words that
might as well never have been spoken
in sequence.
1t is the sequence, after all, which
causes the trouble! Except for a COM

large part of this talk, on the part
of the countless thousands, is drool and
nothing else. 1t has no purpose except
to serve an idle tongue and an equally
idle mind.
Nothing shows the poverty of the
human imagination so well as the uni
versal sentence, Il couldn't think of
single thing to say"
Not think of thing to say, when the
world is so filled with a number of
things! Not think of anything Ito say"
when no age ever had as much to think
about!
YET Sucn is the TACT, as every one
knows, because every one, wise or witty,
ignorant or shallow, has been in situa-
tions when nothing at all came to mind.
Then a strange compulsion overconies
most. They must say something, no
matter what, to break the silence.
Silence may be golden, but also it is
terrifying, at least to the average human
being, who feels better all around when
his tongue is clattering.

haste, without thought, reply must be
forthcoming without desire or any real
interest in making a reply.
Hence we have the universal small

recognized it, but evidently has not
been able to do anything about it.
