dashing as their wearers. The

may gather, most of them are
rather frilly, though some are lace

They come in the colors that are
so smart now, navy, maise, gray,
aqua and tea rose. They are only
$1.95, which is quite a low price
for triple sheers of such grand

AAAS WVbuCE has always Dcen

everything for her son, even send.
ing him through one Of the best
colleges. This has prevented her
from putting anything aside for
her old age.
"She will soon be retired from
the position she has held for years,
and as it's private concern, there
will be no old-age pension.
"My fiance feels obliged to look
out for her, and he cannot support
two homes. His mother has always
been very nice to me, but still /
have always been opposed to living
under the same roof with a mother
in-Iaw.
"Of late I've begun to feel that
am wasting my time.
MARY ROSE"
There are as many different
types of mothers-in-law as there
are fishes in the sea. And if your
fiance's mother has always been
nice to you, and capable Of put
ting her son through one Of the
best colleges, it looks to me as if
she might be reasonable human
being.
The decision is squarely up to
you. If you marry this young man
and live with him and his mother,
don't be an obstructionist and a
trouble-maker.
Show your mother-in-law affec-
ton and consideration, and if
you're both reasonable people,
don't see why you shouldn't make
a go of it. But if you do decide
to break with him, don't throw the
blame on the older woman. The
power of choice is with you.

Policemen Needed at Busy
Corners to Guard Walkers

To the Editor of The Star:
I heartily concur with Edward Lloyd,
Charles Stark and Henry Eckenrode,
who gave their viewpoints on the traffic
situation In the District in TUESDAYS
issue Of The Star However. I would
not put responsibility on the Police De-
partment alone. I think they are trying
to do their very best under the circum-
stances. I may be wrong, but believe
the Safety Committee of the Board of
Commissioners and the commission itself
is morally responsible for failure to pro-
tect the pedestrian against harm by au-
tomobile. Here as well as elsewhere
throughout the country, traffic commits
sions have issued to the press handout
to the effect that the pedestrian is to
blame for most accidents. This kind of
educational campaign is not going to
help solve the Nations most confusing
problem.
What will ease the situation here is,
as one writer has already pointed out,
elimination of the left-hand turn. An
other is to rid the streets of the careless
motorist. But most important of all, it
seems to me, would be to place more
traffic policemen at dangerous interSec-
tions throughout the city, for the pro-
lection of those persons who are trying
their best to avoid being knocked down.
To place them at these strategic points
Is the duty of the District Commission
ers. Let them issue an order to that
effect to the heads of the Police Depart
ment. I'd like to hear what Traffic Ex-
pert Van Duzer has to say about this
suggestion. FREDERIC FROST.

ably, the President would be permitted
to set aside $10,000.C0o for the Florida
ship canal and 100000 for Passama-
quoddy out of relief funds.
The resolution Is good up to a point,
Qualified engineers should be selected
who could be counted on to give an un-
biased report on whether the projects
should be continued and to give, at the
same time, convincing anSwer-if there
is any-to the strong economic objec-
tions already voiced against the UNDER
takings. But if the report is favorable,
the matter of completion should be left
to Congress-not the Executive.
Congress has turned each of these
projects down. Approval Of further ex-
penditures was doubtless withheld, in
part, because congressional prestige in
the exercise of its exclusive appropriate
Ing authority was involved. There was,
in addition, the fear of throwing good
money after bad. The practicability of
both undertakings had been strongly
attacked. Florida, supposed to benefit
by the canal, is even now divided into
two bitterly hostile camps over the canal
project.
New, independent, engineering boards
might reach the conclusion that the prof.
ects should be carried out. But II that
is the case, the decision to adopt or
ignore such recommendation belongs
with Congress, not with the President.

Allenby.

In America, far from the scenes in
which the work of his life was done,
Viscount Allenby of Megiddo was not
well known The legend which gathered
around his name in 1917, however, had
vast attraction for a numerous audience
in the United States. His conquest of
Jerusalem was a romance, thrilling to
the hearts of millions who had been
schooled to believe that the Holy Land
was irretrievably lost to the Infidel The
territory over which he marched and
fought had been a field of conflict be-
tween Moslem and Christian for so
many centuries and the chance Of battle
50 consistently had favored the former
that little hope survived for the rise Of
the Cross above the Crescent. Even
England was skeptical of victory when
she sent her veteran captain to storm
ancient GAIA in the mid-season of the
World War.
But Allenby had the genius necessary
for the winning Of incredible triumphs.
He practiced the military art with q
certain curious talent for making music
where dissonance had been; a strange
rhythm of slow, gradual, steady, IRE
sistible achievement ran in his soul; he

Woodrow Wilson's Service
In Behalf of World Peace
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
The spirit" of Woodrow Wilson has
been rather quiescent during the past
four or five years, and his name does
not have the same potency and influence
in the chancellories of the world that
it had during the first 10 years or SO
after the World War. This is tragedy
for humanity. A majority of the real
thinking people of the world recognize
that the principles of international
justice and worldwide cooperation for
the maintenance Of peace as enunciated
by Woodrow Wilson during the war and
at the Peace Conference were the solid
foundation stones on which to build
better and happier civilization. His i'm
mortal achievements in behalf Of
suffering humanity have been damaged
by others. Nations must compel their
statesmen to retrace their steps and in
their international relationships conduct
themselves in conformity with the prin-
ciples of the covenant of the League Of
Nations as conceived and interpreted by
Woodrow Wilson-or else the deluge.
Justice among and between nations is
the keystone to international peace. The
fundamental purpose of the League OF
Nations is to guarantee justice in SO far
MS tlldl ID HuIlldllly pOSSiUlc, W ali lid -
tions, large and small alike. and in
doing so maintain and perpetuate peace
throughout the world. This was the
grand and noble conception of Woodrow
Wilson. The will to peace would cost
the world far less than the will to war"
The major forces of mankind must be
dedicated to the principles of justice and
peaceful cooperation among the nations
Of the world, and when one nation be-
comes aggressive and inflicts violence
against another and is adjudged guilty by
the other members of the society of
nations. then those major forces of man.
kind should be used to protect the at
tackled nation. even If it is necessary to
inflict severe punishment upon the guilty
nation. woodrow Wilson gave his life
gladly for humanity. and when the Hit
lers and Mussolinis have passed into OBJ
scurity and partial oblivion. his name
will continue to shine forth from the
pages Of history as the greatest the
noblest and the most far-seeng states
man of his day. PAUL A. HILL.

was a master. The campaign in Pales-
tine ranks among the most tedious in
the history of modern times, but he
pushed 1t to a planned conclusion inch
by inch with a sober passion that could
not be delayed by any circumstance nor
halted by any interference. Neither
human foes nor hostile nature could
thwart his purpose. Moving by the
power within himself and inspiring the
humblest of his followers to do likewise,
he earned his laurels piecemeal. There
was no venturesome dash, no playing
to galleries, no appeal for applause in
his method. He was, in effect, builder,
and his glory should be as durable as
great cathedral-substantia but beau
tiful.
Probably it is not remarkable that
such a character should have had little
patience with arms as g. profession or
trade. He took the sword only to clear
a path for peace, and the last public
utterance of his career was plea for
a pragmatic comfy of nations. Yet
pacifism of the dreamy sort he deplored.
His devotion, rather. was engaged to
progressive advancement toward uni
versal harmony; he was content to go
step by step, but refused to consider any
retreat. Psychologically, then, he was
a realistic optimist. And he will be
remembered for that quality of sane
idealism.
America joins with England in mourn
ing 50 noble a servant of race and IN
rejoicing that he did not live nor labor
in vain. His example will be constant
help in years that lie ahead.

Congress Should Decide.

If the Florida ship canal and the Pas
samaquoddy tidal projects are econom-
ically defensible and feasible from an
engineering standpoint, their abandon
ment after the millions sunk in both is
a waste that taxpaying voters should not
easily condone.
The question is: Are they economically
defensible or feasible from an engineer
ing standpoint? Senator Robinson has
introduced a resolution. possibly at the
suggestion of the President, which would
empower the President to appoint engi-
neering boards Of review for the two
projects. II the engineers report favor

Bruce Barton, New York advertising
executive, who is understood to have been
engaged to do some publicity master
minding for the Republican National
Committee. addressed the Illinois Manu-
facturers' Association at Chicago this
week. Advocating long-range planning"
by finance, commerce and trade in their
public relations, Mr.. Barton described
President Roosevelt as "pre-eminent
among all men in political life in his
ability to think in selling terms and speak
in advertising language" The President,
he said, never gets very far away from
this "sure-fire formula: MY friends,
you are feeling better. Tonight I am
going to tell you some of the things we
are planning that will make you keep on
feeling better" Barton urged business
to translate its program into terms of
the ordinary mans needs and desires, on
the Roosevelt model.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Many a fine fellow who fancies himself
good sport" whatever that is. and q
pretty good scout to boot nevertheless
has the tongue of xantippe in her prime.
Socrates had nothing to endure. really,
in comparison with the martyrdom Of
many men in the business world.
The male scolds have an uncanny way
of picking out just those associates who
honestly do not like being nagged.
There Is something in the mind and
heart of the latter which prevents them
from repeating anything, once they dis
cover that another human being does not
like it. Particularly if it happens to be
something which rightly comes under
the classification of personal.
X
The male shrew is different.
The moment he finds that some remark
makes another uncomfortable that is
the very thing he Is going to return to
on every occasion.
The only way to get rid Of him (aside
from using another door Is to accede
to his nagging.
Give in to him, just as he fancifully
thinks men give in to the nagging woman
OF song and story.
Wear the hat, II that will stop his
SOLDERING.
But be sure that it probably won't, for
he is born nagger who shortly will find
something else to gnaw at. His little
eyes are forever seeking. He looks cease
lessly for hole in ones armor. Once
he finds 1t, he never gives up.
=
The female nagger, II our reading of
history is Alright. does what she does for
a purpose. That is where her deadliness
comes in, according to the poem.
The trousered nagger has no purpose
at all, as far as most can find out. He
does what he does just to kill time" or
impress himself with his own good fell
lowship. You are supposed to greet his
ill-concealed nastineSs with smiles, too,
in order that he may not call you q
poor sport" To be a sport, in his ver-
nacular, means to be all that man has
become through the ages. The sport,
according to him, is the fellow who can
receive q nasty knock, delivered in the
form of humor, and pretend that he isn't
put out about 1t. Thus pretense. the
average males idea of getting along, re-
ceives one more boost.
Womans nagging is to get something,
but a mans nagging is to get some ones
goat" as he usually puts it. One may
wonder what he does with this creature
after he gets it.
An old Chinese maxim, as we have in
dicated above. is one of the best defenses.
"Of the % ways Of getting out of
trouble" they say, "the best is to run
away"
II escape cannot be encompassed in
this way and one does not care to give
in to the nagger, the next best remedy
Is to ignore him.
When he starts on the hat, as you knew
he would for his persistence, if prop
erly used. would be commendable). look
him brightly in the eye. as brightly as
you can with thoughts of murder enter
ing your mind. and say, cheerfully:
"Yes, 1t Is a beautiful day, isn't it,"
Then leave his presence as quickly as
possible To delay for even a few sec
onds is to give him time to recover from
the intrusion of such a Grass matter as
the weather.

murs, weakly, but how about that"
