earth movements have raised continents
and built up mountain ranges. The
result has been q concentration OF cold
water and air in high latitudes and a
localization of tropical climate to the
South. We are now living in such a
period of land emergence when climatic
zoning is pronounced and when there
are areas made arid by high mountain
ranges which prevent rainbearing winds
from reaching the continental interiors.
But in the Eocene period North America
was relatively low and the mountain
ranges in the West did not rise high
enough to prevent a wide circulation of
rain-bearing winds. A Subtropical cli
mate characterized middle latitudes and
there was a northward extension of tenn
perate climate into regions now Arctic"
This dawn age was succeeded by the
so-called Miocene when the forms of
animal and plant life of the present were
developing. There are indications that
it was a time of much volcanic activity.
Fossils Of this time were preserved in the
volcanic ash of the Western part of the
United States. These reveal that the
Arctic forest must have moved down to
middle latitudeS in the van of the in
creasing cold. In the course of their
migration they changed only in minor
respects. The climate, along the Pacific
at least, was not SO cold as is the case
today. The Cascades had not risen suffi-
ciently high to shut off the rain-bearing
winds from the sea. Since then the red
wood, which constituted major ele-
ment OF the ancient forest, has been
driven south into California
During the approximately 10000, 900
years which have passed since the Mio-
Gene, the southwark moving forest has
been differentiated into local branches.
In the West the lessening of Summer
rainfall has increased the number of
trees with thick evergreen leaves and
tended to kill out the broad-leaved types.
In the East, where moisture has re-
manned plentiful, the deciduous trees.
such as the beech, chestnut and elm,
have survived.

should tend to simplify the sometimes
diracult task of securing juries and may
enable the courts to impanel Jurors
better qualified in some cases to Judge
the involved questions of law and fact
presented for their consideration.
At the same time there seems to be
no reason to believe that accused persons
will be deprived of their constitutional
right to a trial by an impartial jury.
For, al Chief Justice Hughes so aptly
observed In delivering the opinion Of the
court:
"Impartiality is not a technical con-
ception. It Is state Of mind"
The recognition Of this fact will be
welcomed by the thousands Of govern
mental workers who have been subjected
by implication to the suspicion that they
might place material considerations
ahead OF impartiality.

/. Realism Triumphs.

BY approving. the recent act of Con-
gress which made governmental en-
ployes eligible for criminal jury service
unless disqualified for some reason other
than the fact of their employment, the
Supreme Court yesterday made an i'm
portant contribution to the growing
movement to modernize this country's
judicial machinery.
The absurdity of assuming that a
governmental employe, merely because
his employer, the Government, is party
to the case, could not render an i'm
partial verdict in the usual criminal
trial, has long been recognized. And
yet, despite its obvious fallacy, this
assumption was permitted for years to
impede the competency and efficiency of
the administration of justice.
In the opinion of most students of our
judicial system, this and similar legal
fictions have contributed in no small
measure to the undermining of public
confidence and respect which is so
essential to effective law enforcement
The lifting of this unreasonable ban en-
Federal employees should be a distinct
encouragement to those who are striving
to substitute the realities of modern life
for outworn technicalities as the basis
for enforcement of our laws.
The ruling is of particular importance
In the District, since it will make avail
able for criminal jury duty some 100000
prospective Jurors heretofore excluded.

This Writer, One Fears,
Is Just a Bit Sarcastic

To the Editor Of The Star:
Having been a citizen of this town for
five years, feel that must compliment
the Capital Transit Co. for its car
system.
Such wonderful, efficient car system
I have never had the pleasure of being
associated with, on a passenger basis.
The employees are the most kind and
courteous of any who have ever had
the pleasure of operating such vehicles.
OF course, I must say that the street
cars are the most modern and up-to-date
of any in the country. There may be
few minor details of annoyance, but
being so trivial feel that ought not to
mention them. They never fail to wait
for a passenger who is hurrying to the
office, or waiting in the coldnesS of
brisk Fall morning or evening. And, Of
course, I must mention the friendly man
ner in which the fares are requested to
enter the car. Tsk, tsk, such kindness
is unheard Of!
Raise the fare? Why, of course, any
amount within reason, for is it not q
pleasure to be able to transport ourselves
in such honorable vehicles? To realize
how anxious people are to ride them,

occupants of any one car. Such rush
and trample I have never seen; why
they actually fill the street car until the
doors cannot close. Then, so reluctant
are they to leave. the conductors must
wait and ask them to hurry, so that
other citizens of this town may bask in
the light of such honor. The street car
safety zones are forever packed with
expectant eyes to the horizon, waiting
for the beloved steeds of transportation
to come into sight How hard the Cap
ital Transit Co. strives to appease their
desires; never do they have to wait un-
duly long for their cars, always one Is
Just around the corner.
May the light of heaven glow upon
this, for such brotherly love have never
witnessed, father and son, mother and
daughter. People may come and people
may 60, but may the street cars 60
on forever!

ride the trolleys until their doom; that

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
In the Attic.

In the Attic.
In ar old red trunk in the attic
I found an ivory fan
With q scene from Faust painted On 1t,
The colors all dimmed and wan.
From out of its perfumed satin case
I lifted it, light as dew;
And my thoughts went wandering idly
back
A generation or two.
A chandelier-lighted theater,
With ladies In rustling silk;
Rich laces. the bright gleam Of Jewels,
Fresh faces with skin like milk,
Arch glances and sweet, winning
laughter,
Coquetting with smiling eyes 80.
Arts of century now long gone
In the ivory trifie lies.
Laying the fan in its satin case
A feet shadow crossed my modern face.

Our Congressman.
Our Congressman is gentle. He's con-
siderate and kind,
In spite of all the trouble that he has
upon his mind.
He'll argue with a foeman in an un-
relenting style
And when again they meet he'll greet
him with genial smile.
Our Congressman is generous. It's only
just because
He hasn't the equipment that he's not
Santa Claus!
He knows all public questions that per-
plex us far and near.
He also knows the answers, which SO
few will stop to hear.
Our Congressman will always show a
bright, courageous face
And smile, though now and then he
may be loser in q race
II you would lead your life upon an
admirable plan,
Keep up a brave endeavor to be like
our Congressman!

amendments less fortnight in their
phraseology. The child labor amend
ment, for instance, submitted to the
States twelve years ago, must still re-
ceive the approval Of twelve States be-
fore its ratification. Yet the abolition
Of child labor, 1t would seem, is far more
generally approved than would be the
outright delegation to Congress Of un-
limited power to make laws to regulate
agriculture, commerce. industry and
labor"
Senator Ashurst's method logically de-
serves q test of sentiment at the next
session of Congress. Strategical con-
siderations, however, may lead to its
suppression in favor Of a less desirable
but more spectacular campaign of attri-
ton, directed both at the Supreme Court
and the Constitution.

Question of Strategy,

Senator Ashurst's submission to q
thousand lawyers of his proposed con-
stitutional amendment giving Congress
the power to regulate agriculture, COM
merce, industry and labor" has brought a
majority of replies which, while opposing
the amendment itself, agree with the
Senator that this is the proper way to
submit the question to the people.
Several amendments, with similar OBJ
jectives, have been proposed and will
doubtless be revived at the coming ses-
sion of Congress. There are, naturally,
differences Of opinion as to the phrase
ology which will accomplish the pur-
pose without arousing too much oppo-
sition on the basis of the sweeping
powers granted to Congress. But these
differences of opinion over phraseology
are relatively unimportant. The impor-
tant question is whether the detectives
sought in the Ashurst and other amend
ments are to be reached through the
regular process of amending the Con-
stitution, or whether they are to be
accomplished by the more indirect
methods Of enacting legislation of doubt
full constitutionality. trusting to chang
ing sentiment OF the court to give them
validity.
Senator OMahoney's proposed bill for
licensing industry in interstate COM
merce exemplifies the latter course. And
the choice between Senator Ashurst's
method and Senator OMahoneys
method is largely question of strategy.
The administration may feel that it is
amply backed by the public sentiment
indicated in the past election in its plan
further to enlarge the powers of the
Federal Government over industry and
commerce, making possible Federal regu-
lation Of hours, wages and business
practice. But it is by no means certain
that the people are ready to grant to
Congress the sweeping powers contained

No sooner had we written 1t Tujugga,
than we received the following missive:
Dear Sir: In your entertaining &C
count Of United States place names this
evening you select as q climax 'Tujugga,'
Calf. The linotype man must have
bungled this one, since the place Is
Tujunga, q little sunny fruit-growing
region in q narrow valley some 20 miles
northwest of Los Angeles, well known,
at least by heresay, to most Angelenos
Presidents Of Greater Los AngeleD.
There is also q large canyon extending
almost to the back of Mount Wilson
called the Big Tujunga.
"Tujunga does not seem particularly
odd to us, as we can match 1t with
Cahuenga, the name of a pass and
modern boulevard leading north out Of
Hollywood through the Hollywood hills.
There was q skirmish in the Mexican
War fought there between the gringos'
and the original Spanish Californians.
Some Southern Californians think
their prize odd name is La Jolla, just
north Of San Diego on the coast. Some
folks think this towns name means The
Jewel which, however, doesn't fit with
the proper Spanish for Jewel which is
La Joya.' Anyway, no Fasteners can
pronounce this name first time.
"Tujunga and Cahuenga are both
California Indian names. They seem to
us not nearly so hard on the vocal
chords as Passamaquoddy or Monon-
gahela-relics of the Eastern aborigines.

from the pomposities of the political
commentators, always harping on the

Europe"
Blame must be removed from the limo
type man, however, and placed squarely
on the shoulders Of the medicine man.
from whose almanac we caught the
spelling 'Tujugga."
The compositor set up the name prop
erly, as we gave it. And it would not
have helped matters to have looked in
the gazetteer, for Tujunga is not there.
Place names are forever and eternally
interesting. Thomas Wolfe, in his "Of
Time and the River" writes rhapsodies
on them, giving pages to aboriginal
Indian names. Walt Whitman in his
famous Leaves of Grass" recognized the
intensely interesting character of these
names.
American history is sprinkled with
them so thickly that there is no escaping
them. Even trip on railroad through
the mountains gives one scores Of speci-
mems, as spelled out on station signs
along the way.
What are we to think of Mauch-
Chunk, for instance, pronounced mawk-
chunk? It means bear mountain"
Longfellow, in his "Hiawatha," was
an old timer of the American literary
scene-he was at the zenith of his power
about l856-who found an ultimate fas-
cination in these Indian names. AS long
as America exists. which will be forever,
they will be on the maps.
The names OF our mountains, our
rivers, our islands, our valleys, passes,
gaps, sounds, bays, creeks, even ponds
these are more likely to be original
American" than town and city names.
