But the protective belt Of the
earth atmosphere slows up these
menacing missiles, burns them
up by friction, reduces them to
harmless dust and scatters them
out through the linitleSs spaces
Of the universe.
Meteorites bigger than the En-

off into the ether. Now and
again, some pretty sizeable

pheric belt to land on earth. You
may have seen such specimens
in New York's American Museum
Of Natural History.
One such, Admiral Robert E.
Peary brought back from Green

Street district.
But even the Peary meteorite
is a baby compared to few OF
the monsters which managed to
smash through the police line OF
the atmospheric belt and came
smashing down upon earth. Years
ago a meteor as big as a mountain
came humping down in the Arl-
zona desert. Twenty years ago, in
Siberia, explorers found another

out miles of forest and destroy all

There have, however, been few
such instances. We are pretty
we'll justified in our confidence in
the benevolent wisdom which pro
tects us from savage lombard
ment, and we can enjoy, from
the grandStand seats of our
earthly theater, one of the most
dramatic and thrilling spectacles
in this wonderful world. But
never has there been an instance,
so far as I can discover, of city
or sizeable town being assaulted by
one of these coSmic things.
The area of the earth's surface
occupied by towns or villages, is
comparatively small, even after
thousands of years of develop,
ment of civilization and the emerg
ence from barbariSm, the nomadic
era, and the agricultural periods
to our present widespread urban
and industrial civilization.
Therefore. even today, you
really don't need to get nervous
about the Leonids. The destruc
ton of a community. or the death
of an individual, is remote pos
sibility, indeed. so the astronomers
tell us. For thousands of years
mankind has been marvelling al
this stupendous rain of stars.

Persistent Prejudice


AS the Bureau of the Budget approaches conclusion of
its secret hearings the local estimates for the coming
fiscal year. too great emphasis cannot be placed upon the
effort of the District Commissioners to obtain increase
in the money which the Federal Government appropaes
for its share of the maintenance and development Of the
National Capital.
The Federal Government thinks it has done its duty
by appropriating $5, 100000 for the current year.
THE COMMISSIONERS ASK THAT THIS SUM BE
INCREASED TO $83 500 FOR THE COMING YEAR,
THIS FIGURE BEING THE AVERAGE APPRoPRIA-
TION MADE BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR
THE LAST FISCAL YEAR.
The higher sum which the Commissioners request in
their pending estimates has relation to the equities
of the fiscal relationship between the Federal Govern
ment and its capital
It is arrived at by almost arbitrary method as
the figure which has no basis except the preu
dice Of one or two members Of Congress.
Yet the Commissioners figure does come closer to
being adequate to meet the difference between the cost OF
absolutely necessary local government and the amount
which the local can reasonably be asked to pay
does lift entirely from the backs Of the local tax.
payers burden whch properly belongs to the people OF
the nation, just Washington as the National CGPIt0

BUT UNTIL CONGRESS DOES THE REASONABLE
AND FAIR THING AND CONDUCTS AN UNPREJU-
DICED INQUIRY INTO ALL THE ELEMENTS OF
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO GOV
ERNMENTs, THE FIGURE NOW ASKED BY THE
COMMISSIONERS IS THE LOWEST WHICH SHOULD
BE SET IN THE BUDGET
Officials of the Budget Bureau may contend that they
are without legal authority to change the Federal share
in the budget which will be submitted to Congress in
January even though previous occasion the bureau
did make recommendation for change
IF THAT VIEW IS HELD BY THE BUREAU NOW
TT SHOULD MAKE CLEAR THAT THE $5, 100000 FIG
URE IS INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET NOT BECAUSE
OF ITS BUSINESS OR MERITS, BUT SIMPLY Be
CAUSE 1T WAS IN THE LAST APPROPRIATION

By making that point clear the bureau would destroy
the fallacious argument which few members Of Con-
gress always make when the Congress is considering the
District appropriation bill.
They maintain that the figure set in the budget must
be sustained Congress is to follow the President

The Greatest Show On Earth
By John Snure, Jr.

Since repeal and the ensuing
levy on liquor, Mr.. Morgenthau
repeatedly stated that there were
other methods to combat boot
Logging than a reduced tax on
liquor.
He has indicated his disap-
proval Of a reduction in the levy
of SIS per gallon but under the
new reciprocal treaty the tax is
reduced to $3.50.
Before the last session, Mr..
Morgenthau was asked if he be-
lieved it necessary for Congress
to make drastic reductions in
taxes in order to combat the ad-
mitted continuance of the Illicit
liquor traffic.
Mr.. Morgenthau had other
ideas.
He favored the non-refillable
bottle and other schemes.
Despite Mr.. Morgenthdu's
views, the President has entered
into the treaty with Canada.
American distillerS are not
overly pleased.
They have protested that
foreign liquors were permitted to
enter this country in such a
quantity that their own manu-
factureS suffered.
The Canadian treaty Is a
slap at them and no bouquet
for Mr.. Morgenthau.
PUZZLED
One of those WPA puzzlers
has officials of White Plains,
New York, in a state of pertur-
baton.
They have been advised that
the Works Progress AdminiStra-
ton has allotted $344,527 to
Westchester County for malaria
control.
White Plains receives $156,698D
In Panama, the Federal
government once made important
strides in the elimination OF
malaria. But it had something
on which to work.
Health officers in White Plains
say their records fail to show
any requests for malaria control
allotmentS.
In Westchester County they
contend they haven't had a case
of malaria in years except those
cases of tourists who went into
the area with the disease.
They admit they have mos
quitos but they deny they are
the malaria-producing type.
The WPA, however, allotI

cumulo.e soil-Building Material


Parent soil materials are said to be
"cumulose" when they are formed on
the edges Of ponds and lakes, and in
swamps, by the continued addition of
new vegetable matter which, by reason
OF its accumulation under water or
where it is very wet, undergoes only
partial decomposition. Such deposits
OF peat or muck may range from few
acres to hundreds. or even to thou
sands Of acres in extent. Such soils In
different parts of the country are used
extensively for the growing of celery,
onions and other truck crops, and in
some Of the mid-western states they
are used, on large scale, for the grow
Ing of alfalfa, potatoes, and mint,
