Oliver HerfOrd.

Oliver Herford has written his last
epigran. That prolific originator Of
witty comments on life, whose writings
and sayings form unique chapter in
American literature, has passed at the
age Of seventy-two. He left no great
works. Indeed there was nothing In
his productions that will endure to
serve as . landmark in letters, but in
the course Of his many years Of contri-
buttons to magazines and his occasional
books he created many veritable classics
that viii long survive. Herford was
mainly q punster. playing with words.
But he was gifted with . wit that lifted
that traditiona1ly Lowest form" into the
higher range Of satire. Some of his
expressions have become part Of the
currency Of speech.
To Oliver Herford words had many
different meanings and he applied them
skillfully. He spontaneously saw the
implications Of an exceptional wide
vocabulary, which IL the essence of
witticism. Unfortunately he did not
possess the creative talent On . large
scale, otherwise he would have risen 70
Evening star., 1935-07-06

heights far greater than those which
can be attained by the punster. This
talent of turning the accepted, general
meaning Of q word into an unexpected
channel was a rare gift, and his least
expressions often became celebrated.
A peculiar characteristic of this quaint
personality was his modesty regarding
his talent for sarcasm. He never trou-
bled to keep record of his works and
when asked to list his books and writ
ings he could not remember them all,
often making widely different lists. none
Of them fully inclusive. Usually the
professional wit is more of an egotist,
jealousy conserving his expressions and
productions. To Herford there was no
particular value in these outgivings,
and his business sense was so poor that
he was negligent and haphazard in the
matter of cashing the checks which he
received for his writings.
Nature plays some strange tricks in
the makeup OF humanity and one of
these was Oliver Herford, who, with just
a little more Of industry and self esteem,
might have become one of the out
standing figures in letters instead Of re-
naming always shy, modest, occa-
sional joker.

Quick Settlement.

From the Ann Arbor (Mieh) Daily News.
Senator Norris's proposal for a consti-
tutional amendment to prevent 5-to-4
decisions by the. United States Supreme
Court on constitutional questions will
provoke a great deal Of debate, certainly;
but there is one part Of his plan which
should meet wide acceptance, and that
is his scheme for giving the Supreme
Court original and exclusive jurisdiction
in all law suits involving constitutional
questions.
AS things are now, If you wish to test
the constitutionality of law, you file
suit in any Federal District Court. If
that court feels the law to be unconsti-
tutional, it can restrain enforcement Of
the law, and many months may elapse
before the question finally reaches the
Supreme Court
Senator Norris would have the issue
taken directly to the Supreme Court
without all these intervening steps, and
his idea looks sensible. 1t might. in fact.
be even more sensible to have the court
decide on a laws constitutionality the
moment it is passed, before any attempt
at enforcement is made. Failing that,
the Norris plan is at least a step in the
right direction.

Bus Travel More Costly
Than by Street Cars
% the Editor Of The Star.

To the Editor of The Star:
I wish to add my protest to that of
others against the use of busses instead
of street cars. Car fare at present is ia
cents per ride If tokens are bought. But
bus fare with tickets is 81, cents each
ride. This is an added charge Of about
IL per cent, which patrons must pay.
Nor is this all. The street cars pay for
certain street repairs, but the buSSeS will
not. The street cars also pay for certain
traffic policemen, but the busSeS will not.
Also, the street cars are probably the
very safest means of mass transporta-
ton, and much safer than busses. Also
when crowded-and they are usually SO
during rush hourS-the person standing
in a street car has q far easier position
than one standing in bus, as there is
less vibration due to cars being nearer
the street level, and running steadier.
At present passenger may ride from
Anacostia to Chevy Chase Circle for one
car ticket and only one change Of cars.
With busSeS, as proposed, at least two
busses and one street car will be re-
quired, and the fare much higher. Also
no free transfers are given from buSseS
to street cars, but are universally free
between street cars. making a further
tax on the passengers.
If any arrangement has been made to
safeguard present free transfers and
lower rates on busses than at present,
have failed to note same
1t seems the public gets nothing but
loss from the added use of buses.

Avoids War, Not Licking.

Prom the San Francisco Chronicle.
Prof. Phillips Bradley of Amherst who
gave the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee so realistic program by which
America could keep out of future for
eign wars, might have added a couple
more to his four proposals
One would be something like this:
Notify all Americans that their Gov
ernment will not do a thing for them
if they 60 abroad and get mistreated
Let them stay at home if they wish to
be safe
And the other:
Let the United States withdraw itself
inside wall 80 high foreigners cannot
easily reach over and If a foreign nation
does reach over and slap us, do nothing
about 1t.
These prescriptions might help to keep
us out of war.
But would they keep US from taking
lickings?
Who is the boy at school who takes
licking every day from the other boys?
The boy who won't fight.
The nation that will not fight in
defense of its rights and its honor
can expect to take plenty Of lickings
The ancient Scots expressed the right
principle when they placed, under their
badge of the thistle, the words, memo
me impune lacessit-no one injuries me
with impunity.

center of gravity Of the solar system
which is approximately the center OF
the sun.
The actual speed of stars move
ment in this great circle depends on its
distance from the center OF gravity,
Just as the speed of planets rotation
depends on its distance from the sun.
A star 5000 light years nearer the CEN
ter than the sun will have a rotation
of approximately 335 kilometers sec
ond. One 5000 light years farther away
will have speed of about 265 kilo-
meters a second.
1t requires $50, 900 years for the
sun to make a single circuit of the
galactic center. 1t has made only five
or six revolutions in its orbit during
geological history.
The space between the stars is not
empty, but is pervaded uniformly by
an almost incredibly diffuse matter,
millions of times more tenuouS than the
highest vacuum that can be produced
on earth. The molecules are about a
centimeter apart. There would be only
about four ounces of this gaseous matter
in the whole volume of the earth. 1t
SAAASA
rotates with 1t.
The statement which hitherto has
been difficult to prove is that this celeS-
tial disk actually is rotating. The earth
is a part of 1t. Man Is riding on it and
cannot look at it from the outside. But
within recent years the evidence for ro-
tation has accumulated so that today
an almost conclusive case can be pre-
sented.
DR.. Plaskett himself presents six argu-
mentS for the rapid whirling OF the star
disk around its center OF gravity.
First, the great extra-galactic nebulae,
which are coming more and more to be
considered as very similar to the galaxy
itself, are rotating. Rapid rotation has
been spectroscopically measured in sew
eral of them.
Second, the disklike shape itself con-
stitutes an argument for rotation. 1t is
the shape that would naturally be taken
by a whirling aggregation of stars.
Otherwise they would tend to assume a
globular distribution.
The third argument comes from the
presence of the cosmic diffuse matter.
which obeys the galactic swing exactly
as do the stars. Only rotation could
have kept this gas distended throughout
the system and have prevented it from
collapsing long ago into dense nebulae
at the center.
Still another argument comes from
the fact that the assumption of galactic
rotation explains the observed move
ments of the stars and the differences
in speed of movement with distance from
the center of gravity.
Fifth, is that fact that the observed
residual velocities of the most distant
stars and of the cosmic cloud agree so
closely with those that would be pro-
duced by a rotation Of the galaxy as
to make any other explanation highly
improbable.
The last argument is that the dimen-
sions of the system and the direction of
the center as determined dynamiCally
from the analysis of the velocities agree
almost exactly with those determined by
the direct geometrical measures of the
distance and position Of the center.

Hains Point to the northern boundary
of the District. There was at first q
difference of opinion regarding this land,
some urging that the creek be arched
over for the entire stretch between the
parks and the depression filled to make
space for street and building develop
mentS. This was eventually negatived
and decision was reached that the parks
should be united From time to time
appropriations were made to acquire the
lands necessary Tor this purpose. Prog
ress was very slow. There were COM
plications at the southern end, owing
to the survival of certain rights Of the
Chesapeake & Ohio Canal. These in
turn were extinguished and at last the
way was opened for a completion of the
connecting parkway. Still the funds
were laggard and the work progressed
only by slow degrees. At last the COM
pleting link is to be provided.
When this road has been constructed,
as it now appears it will be by the end
of the year, it will be possible to drive
wholly within park lands from Seven
teenth street and Constitution avenue
down to Hains Point, back along the
Washington Channel, across the road OF
entrance to the Lincoln Memorial, and
from that point through the connecting
parkway to the northern corner OF the
District, a distance Of nearly twenty
miles. Nowhere else in the world Is
there a drive of such length and beauty
of scenery and natural attractiveness OF
surroundings. 1t has been worth wait
ing for, though the time has been long
and irksome.

Tolerance Makes for
Temperate Drinking
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
We prohibitionists allowed the first
step to be taken toward the open saloon
in Washington when we permitted the
law to be interpreted in such q manner
that mixing was removed from the
separate room-kitchen-and performed
in the silly little cubicles now known as
the hidden bar"
Since all but the fanatics among the
drys acknowledge the impossibility Of
prohibition enforcement, and since we
are now fully reconciled to public and
private drinking under sanction of law,
why do we continually cry out in favor
of the very thing that is bound to bring
back the Objectionable saloon? There
are now in excess Of 5000 places in
Washington where liquor may be pur-
chased. against only a few hundred in
the saloon days." shouts a dry viewer
in alarm. Bless her simple soul, does
she not know that Is one Of the reasons
why the saloon cannot come back in
Washington?
If we had only hundred drinking
places in Washington, the drinkers would
congregate there in droves. The con-
gregation of drinkers in the saloons was
the principal evil Of them. Saloons,
IIlUSIIy lUI WCiC PldSCS WAiClC AlCAl
met and drank and drank and drank.
There are no such places now. A man
would find it pretty difncult to find q
place not patronized or partly conducted
by women. In each place more people
are eating than drinking exclusively.
Bottled goods are sold by the grocer and
whisky is delivered with the family -four.
Drinking is no longer INDUCED in as a
debauch. Treating no longer is done
in complete rounds. BY making the
drinking and purchasing of liquor COM
monplace and easy, 1t has lost its
glamour, and our drinking habits have
become sane.
Wide and easy distribution of spirits
will not eliminate drinking. but will
eliminate much of the evil of drinking.
The drys who think they must bring
back the evils of drinking in order to
justify a return of prohibition are out
of step with the times. Prohibition is
dead because. after trial. 1t failed. The
best we can do from now on is to exer-
else tolerance toward temperate drinking.

The great Milky Way galaxy Of stars
and star clouds is q single dynamic unit.
That the billions of stars which COM
pose the celestial disk of light whirling
with terrific speed around its center
gether into single system much like
the sun and its planets is becoming
increasingly clear with the latest find
ings Of astronomers, is the contention Of
Prof. j. S. PlaSkett of the Canadian
Dominion Observatory in the annual
report Of the Smithsonian Institution.
The dynamic unity of the system
long has been suspected, he points out,
but astronomers are just now approach
ing the accumulation of observations
which will enable them to prove it. 1t
Is still difficult task The stars appar-
emily are scattered through the heavens
In patternless profusion, like a titanic
swarm of mosquitoes. They seem to
move at random, without any order to
their movements. They congregate as
family groups or act as individuals.
There are whirling wheels within wheels,
sometimes moving in opposite directions
to each other. If stars were conscious
they probably would think that they
were doing as they pleased.
But all the time they are subject
to a universal law to which their indi-
vidual behavior or the behavior of their
groups are subordinate. Without being
able to get outside the system itself it
has been difficult for the mind of the
astronomer to grasp the dynamic pic
ture of which he himself is an uncon-
scious part.
Some of the high lights of this pic
ture, as presented by Prof. Plaskett,
follow:
The galaxy contains about 200 0O0,-
0OO, 900 stars. AL have about the same
weight. The sun with its nine planets
constitute an average of these stars.
They are distributed in a disklike
form, like watch, which is approx
mately 100000 light years in diameter
and 10000 light years in thickness A
light year-the distance traversed in a
year by light moving at the speed OF
about 1856 900 miles a seconds approx
mately 5000 100000 miles.
The distances between the stars in
this disk are enormous. The nearest
star to the sun-Alpha Centuri, which Is
tbSlUlc Ollly III GliC OOutilClu I1CAlloEAiClC
is four -and-a-half light years away.
An express train travelling without stop
at the rate of q mile minute would
reach it in 100000 years.
The sun Is situated approximately half
way between the edge and the center
of the disk.
Around the disk, but at immense dis
tances away and in no way joined to it,
but forming part of the same dynamic
system, are about 80 globe shaped clus-
tiers Of stars. These form a spherical
shell, described as "a cluster of guardian
attendants on each side of the dislike
system"
The stars tend to become thicker to-
ward the center of the disk which IS
located in the constellation of Sagtt-
tariuS. Here also is found the center
of gravity of the whole system.
Around this center the whole disk is
rotating at an average speed of 800 kilo-
meters a second, just as the earth and
the other planets ays rotating around the

For Peace in Abyssinia.

With a speed and terSeness which de-
note the decisiveness of the United
States attitude, Secretary Hull has lost
no time in notifying Emperor Halle
Selassie that this Government Is not
minded to interfere in Abyssinia's dis
pute with Italy. The Ethiopian monarch
appealed to washington to examine the
Kellogg pact with a view to its invoca-
tion for prevention of threatened war
In Africa.
In skillfully chosen terms, the AbyS-
sinian Emperor is made aware of the
United States unwillingness to take
the proposed action under the multi
lateral pact, Of which both Italy and
Abyssinia, along with sixty-one other
nations. are signatories. The Secretary
of State ut the same time points out
that the United States would be loath
to believe" that either party to the
present controversy would resort to
other than pacific means as method
of dealing with it or permit any situa-
ton to arise which would be inconsistent
with the commitments Of the pact"
Thus. while the American Government
refrains from acceding to the request
for action under the pact, 1t leaves no
doubt of this country's enduring belief
in its purposes or Of the United States
conviction that agreement should not be
violated on the occasion now menacing
peace. 1t would be difncult to conceive
of a more astute presentation Of the
American standpoint. Secretary Hulfs
note is a model diplomatic paper. Rome
will not minimize its true inwardness.
OF perhaps even wider significance is
the indication that the League OF Ma
tions is regarded at Washington as the
appropriate tribunal for peaceful set
tlement" OF the Italo- Ethiopian con-
troversy. Secretary Hull, emphasizing
Americas abiding interest in the
maintenance of peace in all parts OF
of the world" expresses qualification
that Geneva is dealing with the quar-
rel and hopes for "a decision Satisfac-
tory to both governments. The League
powers, which are bent upon restraining
Mussolini from going to war. will find
in the Washington statement indis-
putable support Of their efforts. II Duce
will not underestimate the Importance
of washington's attitude on this score
either.
Though there is no evidence of the
United States inclination to 60 that Tar,
League members may be encouraged to
think that this country, in the event OF
collective action under article sixteen,
might even join in economic sanctions
against Italy. The League would rely
in that connection on the famous state
ment by Norman H. Davis at Geneva
that the United States would refrain
from any steps designed to defeat COL
lective efforts for peace, If this country
concurred in League judgment in the
case Of q given aggression.
Such a development is for the future
to determine. For the present it is
gratifying that ways and means have
been found for manifesting the United
States earnest desire for an amicable
adjustment of the Italo-E Ethiopian dis
pute, while indicating its determine
ton not to become involved in an affair
distinctly not Of American concern.

MOrOnic Celebrants.

A majority of Fourth Of July casual
ties reported locally and for the Nation
are typical of any holiday. Deaths from
drowning, from automobile accidents or
from other conditions resulting from
crowds merely reflect dense highway
traffic and resorts, true of any National
holiday. Injuries or deaths sustained
from fireworks, however, are significant
Of Independence day celebrations, and
when the risks involved are considered
it is remarkable that there we're no
more of them.
This years reports, however, indicate
an increase in the number of activities
of that particular type of moron who
delights in throwing lighted firecrackers
into or from automobiles. A number OF
injuries are reported from such cause.
And the serious part OF the business Is
that the participants were not all chill
dren; many of them were adults.
1t seems useless to argue against such
o thing as throwing lighted firecracker
in an automobile, or from an automo-
bile. For those capable Of such insanity
do not respond to argument. But the
existence of such q menace gives pointed
force to the movement for doing away
with all fireworks, except those displayed
under something approaching ofncial
auspices. For while ninety per cent of
the people may be trusted to use judg-
ment and discretion, there is always the
ten per cent that cannot be trusted, and
the only logical form Of protection
against this minority lies in complete
prohibition.
