to exaggeration, gentleman from At
lanta reported that it once was so hot
in that city that sirloin steak exposed
on the sidewalk to test the broiling
powers of the sun had been burnt to
a crisp before it could be rescued.
The conversation had descended to
the level of the ridiculous, but it served
to pass the time and perhaps to calm
the trepidation of those who were an
noyed by the incessant "baying" of the
ships siren. A philosopher behind a
curtain would have smiled at the child
ishness of the device. Yet he also would
have known that life very largely is
built on ideas otherwise hardly worthy
of preservation. Each career, it seems,
has scars which the spirit hides with
memories which in themselves do not
matter. No individual can afford to be
too constantly conscious of his sorrows. In
the interests of self-preservation he allows
his brain to remain filled with HARM
less flxations-old memories of unim-
portant things, people and events
thoughts which have little other excuse
than that they do not hurt.

The Ohio House Vacancy.

The shockingly sudden death yesterday
of Representative Charles v. Truax of
Ohio raises an interesting political
question. Will special election be held
in that State to fill the vacancy thus
created in the Lower House of Congress?
Mr.. Truax was member at large and
to fill the vacancy a Statewide ballot
must be had. The cost of such ballot
will be considerable and it may be that
that consideration will cause postpone
ment until next year, when the entire
State machinery of election will be in
gear.
But this consideration is perhaps not as
important as another that arises from
the decided overturn in Rhode Island
last Tuesday, when a Democratic va
cancy in the House, caused by resig-
nation to permit the incumbent to take
a judicial post, was filled by the choice
of a Republican, by very large ma
jority, involving an overturn of thirty
four thousand votes from 1884. The
Rhode Island contest was directly based
upon New Deal issues. An Ohio State
wide contest would probably take the
same turn. And a similar result in the
Buckeye State would be even more
significant than that which has just
caused decided case of political jitters
in administration circles, despite all
claims to the contrary.
Discretion dictates letting the seat
vacated by Mr.. Truax's death remain
untitled for the remainder of the
Seventy-fourth Congress. But even
abstention from contest has the effect
OF raising doubt as to the confidence
of the administration regarding the re-
suit if such an election were ordered, and
at this stage Of the case any show of
uncertainty is apt to have a deleterious
effect upon the party morale. The case
thus becomes a dilemma, either horn
of which may be difficult to handle.

Speed, Agony and Death.

There should be no necessity to
instruct motor speeders in the deadly
risk they run when they race their
machines over the streets and roads,
and the deadly peril to which they
expose other users of the streets and
to all who are thus addicted to high
speed. Yet evidently, from the reaction
of those who heard Judge McMahon's
reading, in the Traffic Court yesterday,
of an article printed in a magazine de-
Scriptive of the terrors of traffic at high
speed, there is need of such solemn
admonition. Of the sixty-two motorists
assembled for hearing thirty-three were
charged with speeding. To them par
ticularly the judge addressed the words
which he thus quoted from the article:
Every time you pass blind curve,
every time you hit it up on a slippery
road, every time you step on it faster
than your ref1exes will safely react,
every time you drive with your reactions
slowed down by drink or two, every time
you follow the man ahead too closely,
you're gambling few seconds against
this kind of blood and agony and sudden
death"
Every word of that analysis of the
speeders risk is true. 1t should convey
to the dullest mind the terrorism of
speed on the road Perhaps some of
those who heard the reading did not
know much about reflexes and reactions,
but all of them certainly knew what
was meant by racing past blind curves,
hitting up the pace on slippery road
and following the man ahead too closely.
There is no defense in the plea of
bad judgment on the road. The speed
limits, set with regard for the safety
of all, are known, or should be known,
by all motorists. The lamentably con-
tinued story of the tragedies of motor
speed has been and is being told almost
daily in the news reports. The thought
such a thing cannot happen to me"
does not protect the speeder or his
victim. 1t does happen, with frightful
frequency and persistence.
Maybe that bit of literary instruction
in court yesterday had some corrective
effect. The fines that accompanied it,
ranging from IS to $25, may have helped
to stress with lasting emphasis the peril
of speed. Assuredly those who heard
that lesson and who paid for the privi-
If they do, they should be barred for
all time from the roads and streets as
drivers.

Tiberius Tax Model
Preferable to Modern

To the Editor of The Star:
The tax bill now before Congress sug-
gests that ancient rulers were wiser than
the modern. This is illustrated in the
case of the Emperor TiberiuS. Notwith-
standing the fact that the imperial
finances were gravely embarrassed when
he mounted the throne, he refrained from
any increase in the taxation and sought
to balance the budget by strict economy,
even reducing the existing taxes when
possible. In the collection of the exist
ing revenues he tried to secure strict
honesty by the care with which he
selected his procurators. who were the
officials responsible for the management
of the imperial estates. He was, no
doubt. believer in and supporter Of
the civil service)
1t is said that when Aemilius Rectus,
prefect of Egypt, sent him large sum
of money the result was a curt message
in which the Emperor declared that he
wished his sheep sheared, but not shaved.
He would not permit the confiscation of
property under the guise of taxation.
It is quite certain that the tax bill
before Congress would not receive the
approval of Tiberius, for it not only
takes from the sheep all their wool, but
also their hides. 1t is probable that after
the first application of this law, if enact
ed, there will be nothing left to tax.

The w. p. A. Strike.

There is faint note of Il told you
So triumph in Mr.. William Green's
comment, from Atlantic City, on the
strike of w. P. A. workers in New York
and elsewhere. 1--WE told Congress just
what would happen if they failed to
insert the clause calling for prevailing
wage scales into the Public Works
Progress measure. They didn't believe
us. All this trouble has taken place
Just as we predicted it would"
But even those who supported the
McCarran prevailing wage amendment
and still believe in its principles cannot
fail to see the grotesque elements of this
attempted strike in New York. Boiled
down, it is, the President suggests, no
strike at all. Men who have been
offered work by their Government are
merely refusing to accept the oppor-
tunity. If they do not choose to work,
they need not work. But they cannot
expect, at the same time, to receive
Government relief.
AS far as the prevailing wage issue
is concerned, the strike is premature.
That issue, as Senator McCarran and
others saw it, was whether rate of
pay to skilled mechanics on Government
relief jobs, lower than the rate of pay
for the same class of private work.
would not tend to lower private wage
scales. That effect. in New York, has
not been demonstrated. The w. P. A.
work is too new to have pulled down
established wage scales. AS General
johnson points out, the mechanics are
now given a chance to earn $3.50 a
month on new-style relief, as against
the maximum of $50 month they were
able to earn under the old-style relief.
That is distinct gain. They are at
tempting to strike now, not because
the monthly rate of pay is too low, but
because the hourly rate of pay is lower
than the prevailing rate under private
employment.
There is not much substance to the
strike issue in the form it has assumed.
But it's inherent possibilities of en-
barrassing the administrations labor
and relief policies are interesting. Mr..
Hopkins, for instance, has in effect given
notice that as far as the Government
is concerned the strikers can either work
or starve If they do not choose to
work, in other words, they can expect
no relief from the Government. But
it was not so long ago that Mr.. Hopkins,
in the case of disputes involving labor
and private employment, took the posi-
ton that, regardless of the merits of
such disputes, if striking men and women
were hungry the F. E. R. A. would see
that they were fed. The President was
asked yesterday if the newly created
Labor Cancellation Board, set up by Mr..
Hopkins, would be called on to conciliate
the New York strike. The President
would not agree, however, that this was
a strike" or that the participants were
STRIKERS"
The point of view, in other words, is
obviously influenced by whose OK is
being gored.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

We have been boosting In this space
for several years the value OF lawns.
trees, shrubs and grass in the home
garden.
These alone, we have insisted many
times, would make a good garden.
1t is heartening, therefore, to find an
estate with no flowers pictured in the
current issue of Horticulture.
It is the property of Grenville Lindall
winthrop of Lenox, Mass, and has been
awarded gold medal by the Massachu-
sets Horticultural Society.
The estate has no flower garden and
no flowers, except such as may be found
on shrubs, planted for the birds.
The accent has been placed on the
lawns and trees, although there Is a
rock pool. Preference is given to ever
greens and native trees.
Plenty of shrubs, of course, are bound
to give many flowers.
Such things as lilacs, snowbaIls
altheas, strawberries, to name but few
known to every one, will keep the most
severe yard from being too severe to
the average eye.
No doubt this sort Of garden is easier
on the vast estate, where wide natural
sweeps catch the eye.
Still it is very practical solution of
the modern garden problem for the very
smallest gardens.
Increased attacks by pests of all kinds
including insects, beetles and fungi
have rendered the keeping of even the
smallest place something of a problem
There are many city people, too, who
have neither the time nor inclination
to do the active work OF a garden.
That this is more than many would
admit Is realized by any one who has
really worked in garden for as much
as three months at stretch.
We specify three months, for there
are many vigorous persons who, having
plunged into garden work for a few
weeks out of the superabundance OF
their energy, declare the work terribly
easy.
These same persons, however, we have
noticed, seldom carry on their work after
the really hot days of July and August
come along.
Then they sit on the porch drinking
mint julepS, and permit the flower bor-
ders to become overgrown with weeds
the grass to grow long and everything
in the garden to take care of itself.
One gentleman has written a nice
book on week end gardening, but the
truth is that a flower garden demands
constant care.
That is why one may suggest. with
some propriety, garden without flow
ers, except those which bloom on the
shrubs.
Even such garden as this will re-
quire much care, but surely not as much
as the typical flower garden, with its
planting, transplanting, pinching off
watering, removing faded flowers, train
ing Of vines and the score and one other
tasks necessary to keep everything in
good shape.
Then there is the spraying with in
secticides and fungicides, a real task
not to be undertaken lightly.
Watering must be done.
These are but the beginning of flower
gardening, even on the smallest place.
Let no one say that if one does moi

Appreciation of
A Star Editorial

To the Editor of The Star:
Please permit me to offer my appre-
citation and congratulations upon the
editorial Trouble" appearing in Mon
days issue. 1t is timely. philosophically
sound, finely conceived and most beau
tifully expressive of a truth the world
sadly seems to fail to understand or
accept.
Last week I wrote a short letter to
Virginia paper which I formerly owned
and edited, treating of this subject. In
that letter the familiar lines Of Arch
bishop Trench were quoted:
20 life o death, o world, o time,
o grave where all things flow,
'Tis yours to make our lot sublime
With your great weight Of woe.
Though sharpest anguish hearts may
wiring,
Though bosoms torn may be,
Yet suffering is holy thing;
Without what were we?"
The letter was printed and was read
by close friend who disagreed with
me. This personal reference is made be-
cause your editorial conceded so clearly
with my own thought that am glad to
see a paper Of The Stars importance en-
tertaining identical views. am sending
that editorial to my paper for publica-
ton. JOHN A. PHILLIPS.
Evening star., 1935-08-10

The ancestors of the Indians were
hemmed in by walls of ice to the east
and west. They were showed southwark
below the southern edge of the ice-Sheet
before they could expand in any other
directions. Thus the New Mexico and
Colorado sites are likely to have
marked actual dispersal points. 1t is
unlikely that older remains will be
found elsewhere in the country, except
possibly to the northward.
One reason for the belief that the
first inhabitants of North America fol-
lowed this road about $4,000 years ago
is that conditions at this time were
best adapted for their migration from
Asia. The sea level of the Bering Sea
region was about 120 feet lower than
it is today. The sea is not much deeper
than this in many places. The sea level
did not rise until the glaciers started
to rise. releasing enormous amounts of
ice-locked water.
Hence comes the probability that the
region was Spanned by land bridge
possibly over its present narrowest point
which is about so miles wide, shallow,
and broken by two islands. This would
have been the easiest time for the great
migration. At the same time man
would have been pushed in that direc-
ton by the southern wall of the Siberian
ice sheet.
In the southeastern United States
there was a rainy epoch which corre-
sponded with the last ice age in the
North. 1t was certainly much rainier
than is the case today, as is indicated
by higher lake levels. With the retreat
Of the ice desert conditions started.
Possibly the decrease in precipitation
everywhere was one reason why the
glaciers disappeared since the annual
Summer melting no longer was COM
pensated for by snowfall. The geological
evidence indicates that the artifacts
found in the Southwest date from the
transition period between the rainy and
dry epochS.
Thus DR.. Antevs finds three lines of
evidence pointing to the probability of
human habitation of the New World
just At the end of the last ice age-be-
tween 5000 and 10000 years ago. This
was the most convenient time for man
to have come here and his artifacts are
found where one would expect to find
them in view of the roads open to him.
