How Navy Day Was Marked.

With more than one hundred and
seventy thousand persons f1ocking to the
Navy Yard in this city on Navy day,
though it was not a holiday in the sense
of the closing of the Government de-
partmentS or the places of business,
there Is ample evidence of the keen
interest which is taken by the American
public in the Nations arm of defense at
sea. More eloquent even than a spec
tacular display of pageantry was this
mass pilgrimage to the scene of the
Nations laboratory and fabrication work
for the equipment Of the Navy for eff
cient service in case and time of war.
The occasion was appropriate, the day
dedicated to the Navy in the national
calendar. At every great naval station
and every yard throughout the country
these displays of the mechanism of mari
time warfare were maintained, not to
whet the peoples appetite for conflict,
but to assure them that this Government
is not neglecting those provisions of
defense which are requisite in this un-
stable world and at this time of unrest.
There is no disposition on the part
of the people of this country to complain
of the financial burden which is laid
upon them for the development and
maintenance of an adequate fleet for the
defense of the country from attack and
invasion by a possible enemy. The four
hundred million dollars that are being
spent annually for this purpose are re-
garded as an insurance outlay. The
assemblage of the people in great num-
bers at the various points of naval admin
istration and development and equip
ment yesterday brought them into imme-

Explanation and Not
Advocacy of Communism

To the Editor of The Star:
In your paper of a few days ago Mr..
Kelly Miller, with that calm and UNDER
standing which mark the genuine scholar
and student of affairs, approvingly sets
forth the attitude of those who would bar
the teaching of communism from our
public schools. If the word teaching"
was intended by Congress to mean i'm
parting to the student the principles of
communism from a partisan or advo-
Gates standpoint, then every fair minded
person is against such teaching, in the
same way that we are against teaching
the principles of republicanism, democ-
racy or liberalism from the standpoint of
the advocate. Congress, which is itself
constantly engaged in discussion and
controversy as to policy and polity, surely
never intended that all discussion or ex-
planation of communism or utopianiSm
is taboo.
1t is one thing, as see it, merely to
explain or state what thing connotes
or represents. and quite another to satu-
rate the student mind with favorable or
unfavorable notions. In the latter sense
no teacher is authorized to teach even
what the FederaliStS stood for and what
the Democratic and Republican and Pro-
greSSive parties stand for, and yet it Is
hardly conceivable that history or civicS
can be taught without an explanation
and understanding Of these principles.
II communism is wrong there is little
to fear or argue about, but II 1t is right,
then, as Lincoln told us, 10 angels stand
ing on their heads and swearing that
1t was wrong would not make it so.
The Declaration of Independence and
the Constitution as we'll give you right
to change your form of Government
when the need dictates, and drastic
changes are more likely to occur when
people are kept in ignorance than when
they are well informed

Close the Relief Rolls to
Aliens Illegally in u. S
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
May I express my appreciation and
enthusiastic approval of the Felix A. Ury
letter under the caption, Foreigners in
the United States on the Relief Rolls"
Hundreds, even thousands, of our en-
ployed citizens know that this condition
has prevailed for years. AS a former
clerk in various employment bureaus"
I know there are even worse angles to
this serious situation. Many housewives
(who would rage if one questioned their
patriotism) used to make positive stipu-
lations for foreign" house servants, lust
so they could speak enough English
even" Their claim was that such serv-
ants knew their place"
My claim is that no foreigner has q
right to either job or relief in these
United States while bona fide American
citizens lack either: that every for
eigner who is here through the lodging
of American law should be deported at
once; that those who are not naturalized
and have made no move to be so should
also be deported. Why do our leaders
and civil authorities permit these out
RACES on American citizenry? Why does
not American labor everywhere organize
now and demand some sort of protection
of Government from these foreign blood
suckers? MRS. CALLIE E. COATES.

for the pedestrian to get across the in
tersection, and the pedestrian would not
be harassed by those who make both
right and left hand turns on the green
light into the lane of those trying to get
across the streets. There should be no
left-hand turns in any downtown area,
and those wishing to make the left-hand
turn should be compelled to 60 around
two blocks to get back to place of
starting. There is no doubt this would
cause the motorist extra mileage, but
he should know where he wishes to 60
instead of simply going sightseeing.
This change of lights, from yellow to
n-with-arrow. would cost very lit

"Badinage." the French call it, and the
flrst part Is correct. Victor Herbert
wrote charming little orchestral num-
ber by that name. He also wrote one
called Indian Summer" We always
have liked these numbers, but expect to
have some critic pop up and brand them
puerlle" or the like. No doubt once they
called Currier and Ives prints by far
worse names. Old things which had
merit and which met genuine demand
always come back, no matter what the
critics say. Critics have their uses,
but sometimes we wonder what they are.
X x x u
The desire to say something, anything,
just to break the awful silence, is not as
strong, perhaps, as the necessity under
which most persons seem to labor to
answer such small talk.
1t needs no answer, yet the mood of the
age calls for reply. an immediate one
if possible. at least some sort of answer.
Yet really astute persons, of whom
there are never enough at any time,
have evolved way of not hearing much
of the banter of the day.
Often they smile, but say nothing.
They seem to have a scheme of their
own to keep from indulging in the talk
which ordinarily springs from the bone
OF the skull, not its gray matter,
evidently
They ignore it by the simple expedient
of saying something else in return. This
is somewhat different from the old device
OF turning the question" While it par
takes of that maneuver, it usually has
more intelligence in it and more Suavity
in its application.
In the hands, or we should say tongue,
of the master it becomes a beautiful
parrying, deft thrust into another di-
rection, perhaps, but not necessarily that.
One of these adopts has it in his or her
power to refrain from answering without
either giving offense or fresh fuel for
futile conversation. If any one ever tells
you that negative cannot be positive,
quietly say nothing and laugh up your
sleeve.
Most of us find a cigarette or some
other article in the hand a good aid to
nonchalance.
Perhaps the great spread of the smok-
ing habit has this feature as a part of
its reason for being. 1t is manifest to
any one that it is much easier to refrain
from answering chatter when one is
very busy lighting a cigarette, or even
watching the curl of the smoke
This is one of the most practical of all
devices for simply not answering Aunt
Mary really may not hear, but most OF
us cannot escape so easily.
He who speaks sees we hear and ex-
poets an answer. 1t is surprising how
easily great many persons are in
suited" as they say, by a plain refusal
TO answer silly question.
So do not make it TOO plain!
Simply fiddle with a cigarette. or take
the cap off a fountain pen, or jingle
change in the pocket, or sort out the
dimes from the nickelS.
Anything will do to remove the horrid
suspicion in the mind of the other that
you refuse to answer. He knows what
he says is nutty, as the monkeys say,
but he wants YOU to pretend that it
IS not. If you give him a fourth of a
chance TO pretend he realizes you have not
heard him, che is satisfied, and goes on
to another equally silly statement. And,
as dear old Aunt Mary said, what a lot
one Is spared, to be sure.

Offers Suggestion
To Aid Pedestrians

To the Editor of The Star:
After reading the editorials and the
letters in reference to protecting the
pedestrian in the congested area I wish
to suggest the following remedy in place
of sllbways. This calls for three-light
traffic signal at all downtown crossings,
the lights to show green-with-arrow,
green and red.
The green-with-arro would be for
right-hand turn only, and suggest that
the left-hand turn be abolished, as it
ties up the free movement of through
traffic and is hazard to the pedestrian
trying to cross the street. The green
light would be for through traMc; also

Political InvasiOns.

v
Former President Herbert Hoover is
going to New York and President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt to Georgia. all for the
sake of the New Deal. Mr.. Hoover,
however, will deliver an attack on the
New Deal, and President Roosevelt, on
the other hand. will appear as its chief
exponent. While the former President
is seeking to scuttle the New Deal in
the Presidents own home State, Mr..
Roosevelt will endeavor to put the Sklds
under Gov Eugene Talmadge of Geor-
gia. who has been one of the most per-
sistent of the New Deal critics
These political invasions of the North
and South both come in November,
year before the presidential election.
Mr.. Hoover's New York speech, before
the Ohio Society, is to be the second Of
his campaign that is planned to show up
the Roosevelt New Deal in way that
will make impossible the reelection of
the President. If Mr.. Hoover has any
personal ambitions he has yet to reveal
them. He is dedicating himself to the
anti-New Deal cause, believing that If
the present administration is continued
and permitted to carry on with its plans
the American ideals of freedom and of
government will be broken down.
The Presidents trip to Georgia is de-
signed, it is said, to rally the people of
that State to the New Deal standard.
There in the Democratic solid South
rebellion is rife, led by the Governor of
Georgia. The Georgia Senators, George
and Russell, are aligned with the Presi-
dent, although Senator George was bitter
in his denunciation of the cotton proc
essing taxes at one time. With the
Georgia Senators as leaders in the move
ment for the homecoming rally for
the President, it is planned to give the
Governor small place in the affair. He
is to be sidetracked. His people are
to see him snubbed by the White House.
To be snubbed by the White House is
regarded as a deadly wound, politically
at least.
Really, however, there seems no cause
for cordiality on the part of President
Roosevelt toward the Governor of
Georgia. Next to the late Senator Huey
p Long of Louisiana, Governor Talmadge
has been the most outspoken Democratic
critic of the Roosevelt New Deal. He
has dubbed the New Deal socialiStic and
bureaucratic. He has sought to attack
the constitutionality of the A. A. A. on
behalf of the State of Georgia before
the Supreme Court of the United States.
He has been vitriolic in his language.
And now the Governor is to be stepped
on in his own State
Governor Talmadge has been men,
toned frequently as possible inde-
pendent Democratic candidate for
President next year because of his
antagonism to Roosevelt and his policies.
He succeeded in getting himself re-
elected Governor despite the opposition
of the Roosevelt forces in Georgia. He
might, unless he is checked, take dele
cation to the next Democratic National
Convention pledged to oppose the re-
nomination of President Roosevelt or to
support the Governor for the presiden-
tial nomination. Such spirit of revolt
must be quelled. If the Governor of
Georgia can be properly squelched on
his own home ground so much the better
for the Roosevelt New Deal in the sunny
South.

Ewes Garden

I have no garden where white peacocks

Their plumage, and the golden

Fits to its nest in some high, fruity tree
AS idle moments the bright sun-dials

A place luxuriant, with pleasure rife,
And vivified by an abundant life.
Yet have found garden in your heartl
And I have found therein a sheltering
tree
With golden fruit may not touch nor
taste
While dwelling there in all humility.

Apart from earth a lasting

Star Was Born
To This Role

It isn't always that an actress
can be born into her role, but
that is exactly the advantage
which Elizabeth Patterson had
when she was cast in Paramount's
$50 Red the Rose" she disclosed
today.
This romance Of the Civil War
period, told from the viewpoint Of
the South, is laid in the territory
around Shiloh where one Of the
wars biggest battles was fought.
1t was like coming home for
Elizabeth Patterson, for the &C.
treSs was born in Savannah,
Tenn, just eight miles from
Shiloh, and her early life there
was filled with the stories and
traditions Of that territory. Her
father, Lieut.. E. P. Patterson,
fought in the Ninth Alabama
Regiment during the Civil War.
She is a member Of the United
Daughters Of the Confederacy.
Her most valuable aid in the
picture was the diary which her
father kept throughout the entire
war. With 1t, she was able to
steep herself in its atmosphere
and interpret her character with
more reality.
Not only did 1t help her, but
also Margaret Sullivan, Ran
dolph Scott, Director King Vidor
and others on the picture. From
Miss Patterson'S background they
were able to set the tone Of the
film.
Almost everyone on the pic.
ture Is O Southerner. Vidor is
from the South, and most of the
other members Of the cast were
born and bred south Of the
Mason and Dixon Line, as was
the author Of the original story,
Stark Young.
I'VE knew exactly what our
characters would or wouldn't do
or say under any given circum-
stances" Miss Patterson pointed
out.
The actress was not cast in the
role she plays. She argued her
self into it.
She was in New York at the
time she heard that Paramount
was going to produce the film.
Immediately, she packed and set
out for Hollywood, first stopping
in Tennessee to visit her home.
The thing that cinched her
with Vidor was when she showed
him a dramatic review written
some time ago by Stark Young,
author Of $50 Red the Rose" in
which he praised her work. Her
fathers diary and the fact that
she was born and raised on the
locale Of the story were other de-
Gliding factors for the director.

Ex-Actresses
Best Wives

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 26.-There
probably are about q million men
scattered over the length and
breadth Of this land who, every
time they read in the newspapers
about the smashing UP Of a mar
riage between film stars. give vent
to the pat remark, well. what
else could you expect? I would
never marry an actress!"
These prejudiced members Of
the male sex contend that
actresses are too self-centered, too
greatly devoted to their careers, to
submerge themselves in the COM
parative obscurity matrimony
brings.
Maybe they're right. The
70 u n g-Man-About-H ollywoo d
wouldn't pretend to know about
that.
But here's one thing he does
know-and a score Of Hollywood s
male stars will back him up:
Ex-actreSseS make the best
wives!
There are the Jimmy Cagneys,
for instance. AS far as domestic
happiness Is concerned, they might
as well be living in Peoria as
disturbed Hollywood. They get
along fine. Mrs. Cagney used to
be an actress. That makes for
understanding and mutual inter
eStS.
Fredric March, soon to win
added fame as Anthony Adverse"
for Warner Brothers, Is happily
welded to an actress. She was
Florence Eldredge when Freddy
wooed and won her in Denver
eight or nine years ago.
Paul Muni is another star who
Is connubially blissful. Mrs. MUM,
who ministers understandingly to
his acting needs, was herself q
prominent player Of the New York
theater.
The Pat O'Briens likewise are
pointed out as q well mated
couple. Mrs. O'Brien was Eloise
Taylor on the stage. Their 70
nance began, incidentally. when
both were appearing in the Chi
cago company Of the play, Broad
way"
The Frank McHughs are an
other example of two professional
folk who married, and, their
friends are sure, will live together
happily ever after.
The rule seems to be-marry an
actress, but either one Of the par
ties should retire from acting.
