A note was handed to Andre

The reply is expected to be of the

over whether Britain would take
similar action if a similar incident
that is, German aggression in
Memel or any other European coun-

Sunset Concerts.

The sunset concerts Of the National
Symphony Orchestra should be great
success. Playing on Navy barge
anchored in the Potomac near the Lin
coin Memorial-surely one Of the most
impressively beautiful places in the
world-Dr. Hans Kindler's artists, be-
ginning Sunday evening, will undertake
to do for Washington what other mu.
sicians coincidentally are attempting IN
London, Paris, Berlin and other capitals.
Their effort will be to serve the uni
versal cause of harmony in season
which is at once the best and the worst
for music-the time Of the year when
people want to be out-of- doors and yet
feel natural longing for all the forms
of culture which customarily have ex-
preston only within four walls and
under a protecting roof.
But music, historians know well
enough, began in the open air and pros
pered unsheltered perhaps for centuries.
Indeed, it must have been ages in social
evolution before any one thought to
build proper concert hall. Throughout
classic and medieval chronicle evidence
abounds concerning the part which
music had in the expanding civilization
of nations which only gradually re-

Repeal Has Failed and
Prohibition to Return

To the Editor OF The Star:
In reply to letter to the Editor signed
by Walter Walton which was printed in
The Star of July 6, may call attention
to the fact that he is certainly not a
prohibitionist, although claiming to be
one in his opening sentence.
Any system for liquor control should
be judged solely by its results. All drys
are willing and anxious to compare the
records for drunkenness, accidents, etc.,
anywhere in America under prohibition,
even when inadequately enforced, with
the record in the same area since repeal.
The following statement regarding our
local situation is fair and proves the
failure of repeal at the Nations Capital:
The court and other records, since the
return of legalized liquor in the District
of Columbia, prove that arrests for
drunkenness and deaths and injuries
resulting from drunken driving, also
crime and poverty due to Intoxicating
liquors, all have greatly increased since
the repeal of the Sheppard law and the
eighteenth. amendment.
Drunkenness among youth has
reached alarming proportions and over
OOO Ol OOyO OAIASA 81 ySaAo VI o6S
have been arrested in Washington dur
ing the last IL months.
About 300 saloons were closed in the
District of Columbia when prohibition
was enacted, but now over 1,700 liquor
establishments exist which are flooding
Washington with intoxicating liquor and
promoting intensified campaigns of
high-pressure advertising, utilizing every
form of publicity in order to create,
stimulate and popularize the drinking
habit among all ages and classes of our
residents.
Every promise made by the advocates
of prohibition repeal has been ruthlessly
violated and conditions in Washington
relating to alcoholic addiction are now
worse than ever before.
The Guyer bill introduced in Con-
gress on July should be passed in order
that the alcoholic liquor traffic may be
again outlawed and abolished in the
District of Columbia, as this Is the only
possible way to halt the ever-rising tide
of degeneracy and moral and physical
decay caused by the anti-social, degrad-
ing, lawless, race-destroying liquor traffic.
Repeal has failed. Prohibition Is
coming back.

treated from work and play under the
sun and the stars. The founders Of the
art of measured and disciplined song
were nature-loving men; the troubadours
and the minstrelS were partiSans OF the
open road; Mozart and Beethoven, Bach
and Handel. Schubert and Schumann
were geniuses who kept their hearts
atune with free fields, brave forests and
the grace which rivers show in their
progress toward the universal sea.
Practically every instrument in DR..
Kindler's control originally was designed
to reproduce sound from natures
repertory. and skilled listeners can
identify each individual vibration.

course. will have esthetic character equal
to those of the regular symphony offer
ings of the Winter months. They will
be composed Of great music, the produc-
tions Of masters whose. popularity is
durable and International ephem-
eral nor provincial in character. And
the appeal Of such treat for Washing
tonians certainly should be as attractive
as similar opportunities are to the
people Of the capital cities across the
Atlantic. It would be an asset to the
Federal community if the result were
to be the establishment of an outdoor
Summer music center as a permanent
feature of Washington life.

Tribute to the Victim of
A ThOughtless Prank

To the Editor of The Star:
Jefferson Lewis, colored, the Districts
sixty-second traffic victim this year
accidental death was the jury's verdict.
The fact is, q fine, useful American
citizen met his death from the hand of
a lawless, malicious "gamester' as the
paper stated.
A naturally calm, cautious man
jumped in the path of street car when
a flrecracker exploded at his feet. Who
wouldn't? In spite of the fact that
flrecrackers are not allowed in the Dis
trict, this good man is needlessly dead.
Had he been person Of influence or
position, the tragedy would not have
been disposed of so easily.
Jefferson Lewis was q soldier and q
Christian. He had 80 years of Army
service to his credit and 40 to his God.
He knew his Bible and lived it. His
people needed him, for he was an ex-
ample of the highest character. needed
him. After 10 years of pune lal, honest,
faithful service I cannot replace him.
He'd often sing at his work. He careth
for the sparrow and know he cares for
me-" was favorite. A crowded church
on hot day testified to his worth, and
Arlington received his flag -draped cas-
ket. His untimely death is a disgrace
to Washington.

man as ever livedl L. S. CONN.

The Calhoun Fund.

Against the sordid Selfishness, the
cruelty and deceit of a weary old world
the heroic death Of Sterling Calhoun,
impoverished Negro. stands out like
something clean and pure. There is a
sublime quality in any act of courageous
and unquestioning self-sacrifice. And
people treasure the memory of such
things, for they part the curtain, as it
were, for fleeting glimpse into world
that might have been.
Life may have dealt harshly with this
unknown man, but could any one wish
for a finer way to die? He has left a
memory of something very fine; some
thing that has universal appeal to the
best that is in us. He has also left
tragedy with his destitute family. To
the widow and her children the thoughts
of generous men and women turn. Their
contributions will give help where help
is needed.

because it was so recently lost in con-

In other words, Congress throws the
matter to the Budget Bureau, the Budget
Bureau passes it back to Congress, and
between the two the requested funds
may be lost. A few dollars-a fraction
of the amount spent on various types
of "boondoggling be saved: but
the serious warning Of respected medical
authority is that such saving Of dollars
will mean actual loss of lives.
There is hope now that Senator King
and other good friends of the District
in House and Senate will be able to save
the situation by including the needed
funds in the pending deficiency bill.
Certainly this is no time for face-sav-
ing buck-passing. The Health Depart
ment needs the money, and Congress
should act on the evidence at hand as
to the need and supply it.

Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

In the Country.
When the day is warm and weary, it Is
then your fancy turns
To the country.
There is a spring, half hidden in a
broidering Of ferns
In the country.
There Is winding road where shadows
green and blue and gray,
Are whispering to the blossom scented
breezes as they stray;
There's a bird that gaily chatters in
the trees, far, far away,
In the country.
The people do not have to count the
moments as they go
In the country.
They are happy and contented whether
stocks are high or low,
In the country.
And when along the road lazy jour-
ney you pursue
The folks in the spring wagon smile
and say, 'How do you do?"
They say it even though they've not
been introduced to you,
In the country.
OF course, there's toll by day, but there
Is also rest by night,
In the country.
The struggle for existence is q fair and
honest fight
In the country
Though others own the acres, they are
blossoming as fair
For every passing stranger as for him
who has their care,
And there are miles Of sky and there
are oceans of fresh air
In the country.

Speed Craze the Cause
OF Most Motor Fatalities
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Much has been said, and written, from
time to time about the deadly grade
crossings" In order to offset the care
lesSness of motorists the railroads or
towns are obliged to maintain gates,
signals and watchmen at these places,
and with each disaster recorded new
hue and cry Is raised against such
crossings as still remain ION grade"
It seems to me that in all this con-
troversy, the object of which is to elm
mate any danger to the motorist, that
exclusively belong, one great menace has
been entirely overlooked.
In reading accounts Of accidents to
motorists Just check up and see in how
great proportion you find the phrase
left the road and hit pole!"
Now If grade crossings are such a
menace, surely the deadly telephone or
electric light pole is a greater, as there
are thousands of poles lining our roads
to each grade crossing. Why not elm
mate the deadly pole-Or move it away
from the road, say hundred yards?
But, some may say, If the motorist stays
on the road he will never hit a pole.
True enough, neither does train of cars
leave the track and chase one across
the country. Are not those two men,
aces to motorists safety in exactly the
same category? An accident in either
case must be, and is. due entirely to the
reckless speed at which motorists now
travel. Just SO long as this speed is
maintained or increased and the indi-
vidual motorist is careless, failing to
negotiate a curve" or to stop! look!
hsten!" at a grade crossing, just so long
will the death list continue to grow. 1t
is evidently not the fault Of the grade
crossing, nor yet of the inoffensive pole.
Instead of continually increasing speed
limits" why not cut the limit down? 1t
is plain that this is the only way the
number of accidents will ever be reduced.
In 80 cases out of 100 there is really no
reason why one should 60 at 60 or 10
mile pace.
OF course this craze for speed will
continue, the blame be put on grade
crossings. poles. trees and culverts. which
refuse to get out of the way, and the
price paid. j. F. OERTEL.

Stynied?

washington is now witnessing a grim
act which DR.. Sterling Ruff1n, the presi-
dent of the Medical Society, succinctly
describes as balancing dollars against
human lives. The jugglers are Con-
gress and the Bureau of the Budget.
Between them they hold the fate of the
community's request for Health De-
partment funds needed for adequate
maintenance and for a really effective
public health campaign, particularly as
concerns tuberculosis.
When these funds were arbitrarily
stricken out in conference on the 1896
District bill the amazed reaction of the
health officer, the Medical Society and
other professional and lay organizations
of citizens emphasized the serious effects
threatened by such action. Inquiry in
dicated the money was stricken out in
the bargaining processes over the Dis
trict bill, rather than by design. The
Commissioners were instructed by inter-
ested members of Congress to place the
matter before the Budget Bureau i'm
mediately with the object of obtaining
authorization for a supplemental ap-
preparation. They were assured that
Budget Bureau approval would secure
the appropriation. The Commissioners
acted promptly.
But the Budget Bureau has given no
formal indication of its intentions, other
than it's silence. Informally, The Star
has been given to understand that the
bureau cannot recommend the money

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

in shirt-sleeve action at Washington
this Summer assert that he has lost
none of his old form as the live wire
of Grinnells quintet.
Reports drift in from Indianapolis
that Gov Paul v. McNutt, who now and
then has been variously credited with
presidential, vice presidential or sena-
torial aspirations, is expected, at the
end of his term, in 1887, to seek the presi-
dency of his alma mater, Indiana Uni
versity, at Bloomington. Particularly
on account Of his prominence in the
American Legion, of which he was ma
tional commander In 1929, and be-
cause of other qualities, including pic
turesque platform appearance, McNutt
has ranked as Democratic national tim
ber for post-Roosevelt days. He holds
Harvard Law School degree.
Republican regional conferences have
conspicuously failed to help the G. o. p.
in its quest for an inspiring presidential
candidate Within less than year the
1886 campaign will be in full blast, but
the opposition is. apparently cropping as
helplessly as ever for an outstanding
personality capable Of offering Mr..
Roosevelt fight worthy OF the name.
With Hoover out of the running, Sen
ator Vandenberg, Col. Frank Knox,
Senator Dickinson and Gov. Landon of
Kansas continue to be looked upon as
the best bets, on the theory that the
nomination will 60 to the Middle West.
Fasteners still mentioned, but without
noteworthy emphasis or enthusiasm, are
Ogden L. Mills, Representative Wads-
worth, Gov. Hoffman of New Jersey and
John G. Winant, former Governor OF
New Hampshire. Despite Senator Borah,
Supreme Court Justices Stone and
Roberts still have their boosters, and
Borah himself gets many an orchid.
Germany's naval plans, first fruit Of
her deal with Great Britain, coincide
with Secretary Swansons announcement
that the United States during the next
year will build IS ships-12 destroyers
and six submarines-as part of the
treaty-navy program. Mr.. Swanson Wig
orously disclaims the purpose of start
ing any competition" but 1t Is in
evitable that with disturbance of the
European naval equilibrium by Ger
many's intention to possess fleet 35
per cent as strong as the British navy
this country sooner or later will have
to lay down more tonnage than hitherto
contemplated, If we are to maintain
parity with Britain. The latter eventu-
ally will build a bigger fleet because
Germany's program will compel France
Ind italy to expand. Meantime, Japan
is about to adopt the heaviest naval
budget in its history. The outlook for
reduction of sea ornaments is bleak in
the extreme.
It appears that unusually large num-
bers of gold clause Government bonds
are being retained after they are called.
The explanation is that many bond
holders still believe that for one reason
or another redemption ultimately will
take place in money Of the old value.
