given above offer an interesting look into
the history Of names.
Archer, Boyer, Fletcher-these come
down directly from the old art and craft
OF the bowman. The surname Bowman
naturally derives from the same source.
The fletcher was the man who feathered
the arrows.
Boy and Girl Scout organizations and
similar bodies have done good work in
fostering this ancient sport, for It Is a
recreation which must be carried on
under supervision II the best results are
to be obtained. It is notorious that most
small boys at some time or other want
to play with bows and arrows, but 1t Is
equally well known that they seldom
stick to 1t very long. 1t is felt by even
the most careless person that this ancient
weapon Is not likely to be of much serv-
Ice unless it is handled properly, and
especially in places where wild shooting
would result in no harm.
Target shooting under expert auspices,
Is recreation which has its roots in
universal race experiences. Almost all
races knew the bow and arrow. 1t was
the most striking thing in the equipment
OF the American Indian, with perhaps
the exception Of his feathered headdress.
He fetched, or fledged, his arrows in
much the same way the Europeans did.
~
Those interested in birds naturally will
be interested in archery, partly on ac-
count of the use of feathers, partly be-
cause of its supreme outdoor nature.
The real place for a bow and arrow
Is on wide meadow, where none will
be hurt by the use of the same, or on
some mapped course where proper ar
rangements have been made.
There Is great power in a real bow,
today as ever. Beginners must learn to
handle them, and often must work up
enough muscular power to do so. Also
there is real knack in it, so that often
even the strongest man cannot do as
well as some 1.-the STRIPPING who has
gradually developed the proper muscles
to hold bow and arrow properly and to
draw and shoot correctly.
X
Yet it must be admitted that there Is
strange apathy for this old sport on
the part Of the general public.
Perhaps as a race we are too much
interested in automobiles and base ball.
Perhaps 1t is impossible for a race as
whole to go backward. It must go on
in the mysterious way mapped out in
the beginning.
Only few, comparatively speaking,
will be left to do old things reverence.
How blessed. however, are the feet of
such on the meadows and by the streams!
These lovers Of the old help hold the
balance true.
Where Audubon trod there goes the
bird lover of today.
Mighty names Of English battles come
flooding into the mind when we see bow
string drawn again hundreds of years
later.
We like to think they were not just
fighting to be fighting, but as battling to
make immense gains for liberty and
justice.
Today all that is past. Let the bow
and arrow be symbols of the wholesome
outdoors in April. The tree and the bird
make their contributions. The man or
woman who keeps in mind the fine his
tory of the bow and arrow, its mighty
English traditions, will help make this
Spring the season Robin Hood and his
merry men loved.

taxicab is q succession Of breath-taking

taxicab is . succession Of breath-taking
narrow escapes, in which rear wheels are
locked and the vehicles skid up to
dreamy pedestrians. grazing them with
their front bumpers. There always fol-
lows long conversation between driver
and pedestrian, carried out in the not
so-softly beautiful but highly picturesque
Italian language.
Automobile horns serve legitimate
purpose, of course. So should the reg
ulations against their unnecessary blow
ing. Both the horns and the existing
regulations, used to good effect, would
prevent the extreme measures adopted in
Japan and in Rome.

Taxes and Politics.

Much has been said and remains to
be said in condemnation and support
Of the new tax bill. But the most sig
nilcant statement of all is contained in
the majority reports explanation that
the bill will take care of the Presidents
requests for additional revenue until
the next session of Congress, which can
then act more intelligently in the light
OF the conditions then existing"
What will be the conditions then
existing? Aside from possible economic
change, the chief change will be that
another political campaign will have
been fought to finish, another po-
litical election will be in the bag. Seats
in the House will be safe for another
two years, at least. In other words,
consideration of tax legislation will have
been removed from the highly charged
atmosphere of an election year; low
and high pressure areas will have become
more equalized. There will not be such
premium on the display of statesman
like intelligence.
Why cannot all revenue measures be
considered in such an atmosphere? The
preceding revenue measure and the bill
now under consideration were framed
against political background. That
explains the source of the contention
that both revenue measures aim more
at theoretical reform" than at the real
istic business of raising the revenue to
supply the needs of Government that
in the past three years has been spend
ing ten dollars year for every dollar
the whole Federal Government cost be-
fore the war, raising half of its expendi-
lures by borrowing. If the need for
revenue to overcome deficits can be dis
artsed as the need to reform the wicked
corporations, SO much has been gained
when the time comes to face the tax
paying voters.
The minority report on the tax bill
points out that outside of the administra-
tion's own Treasury Department spokes-
men the present bill received support
from only three witneSses-one of them
q Communist, another young lawyer
from New York" with tax theories of
his own and one whom the minority
labeled a Treasury lobbyist in disguise.
OF course, it would require long stretch
of the imagination to suppose that any
tax bill would produce an array of en-
thusiastic witnesses testifying in its sup
port. Nobody loves taxes. But it is
possible to produce a tax bill that gains
public confidence because it represents
courageous fact facing. The present
bill, even to those who understand it,
lacks public confidence. It is stop-gap,
election-year bill that may not produce
the needed revenue, places burden on
Legitimate and proper business expan-
sion" at time when recovery depends
almost entirely on such expansion.
Will it ever be possible to frame tax
bill uninfuenced by political fears? Will
It be possible, for instance, ever to enact
a bill following the painful but honest
schedules of the La Toilette proposal of
last year, digging down into the low
income group in manner that not
only produces revenue, but drives home
to every citizen the outrageously high
cost of Government? Perhaps so, but
not now.

Senator BOrah's Reversal
On the Supreme Cour,

AA SAAO A re- OAAAN Nv 80 =
To the Editor Of The Star:
Consistency, thou art q Jewel. It is a
Jewel, however, that is not worn by our
illustrious Senator Borah. Perhaps the
distinguished Senator agrees with Emer-
son, that "a foolish consistency is the
hobgoblin Of little minds, adored by little
statesmen and philosophers and divines." !"
In the New York Times Of February 18,
1923, the Senator had an elaborate article
in defense and justification Of bill he
had introduced in the Senate to require
the concurrence Of seven justices Of the
Supreme Court to declare an act Of the
Congress unconstitutional in the exercise
of the courts appellate jurisdiction. The
undersigned wrote an article in reply
thereto. which was printed in the North
American Review of November, 1923, and
which was also printed several months
earlier in the Central Law Journal and
the Virginia Law Register, in which he
demonstrated that this authority of the
court was derived from its judicial power,
which is vested in the court by Article
III OF the Constitution, and that Congress
was without constitutional authority to
interfere in any way with its exercise.
After these articles appeared nothing
more was heard from the Senator on this
subject, and his bill died a-borning. He
had evidently seen the light, and has
now become one Of the most ardent
champions of the court, as stated by
David Lawrence in recent article:
But the Idaho Senator feels that his
principal claim to support this year is on
an issue which should appeal to con-
Servatives as we'll as to progressives in
the Republican party, namely, the up
holding Of the traditions of the Supreme
Court. He has tried to awaken the vot-
ers to realization that the very consti-
tutional system of government under
which America has been operating for
more than $50 years is in danger If Mr..
titude toward the Supreme Court"
And in recent issue Of the Red Book
the Senator had most sound and ex-
cellent article in defense of the court and
of its authority and duty to invalidate.
though done by majority of it's men,
bers, unconstitutional laws of the Con-
greSs. More power to the Senator in this
line of his endeavor, and may he now
keep the faith and not backslide, be-
cause as a defender of the court he is
indeed a strong and valiant advocate
and an ally much to be desired.

Definition of What Once
Was Considered a Park
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
A park should be a bit of countryside
preserved in the midst Of cities in order
that those who have never known the
country may realize how wonderful it is,
and that those who have known and are
homesick for it may come to the park
and be comforted. It's walks should be
winding and narrow, conducive to wan
dering and idle lettering. Its grass
should be thick and inviting to tired feet;
its shade abundant and gracious to the
weary. A park is q place Of blossoming
flowers and the haunt of singing birds.

Young men in the Senate may be hard
to discipline. Albert Beveridge was one
who could not be held in deferential sub
ordination. His book on John Marshall
proves that he was thinker who had a
right to be heard and is still worthy to
be read by mental excursionists who af-
feet an air of ignorance as to what the
United States Supreme Court is all
about.

References to the United States Su-

A Rhyme at Twilight
BY
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Her Song.

Her trysting song at even
In the values of his heart
And the big events that cram it
Has its own small place apart.
With the hours of action ended,
Hers the moment in his day
Bringing him a bit of hearts ease;
Just a respite after fray.
She may never reach for noontime,
Nor for moon time, nor the sun;
Hers little tryst with twilight
When his daytime work is done.

FUNDS PROVIDED
F0RD.C. AGENCIES
4,300 Federal Employees
Also Aided as Roosevelt
Signs Deficiency Bill.

Back salaries for nearly 4,300 Gov
ernment employees in Washington, an
extension of life for the District Alley
Dwelling Authority and deficiency
funds totaling more than 100000 for
more than score of District agencies
and institutions are available today as
a result of President Roosevelt's sign
ing of the deficiency appropriation bill.
Except for 81 clerks in the tax and
penalty unit of the Justice Depart
ment. all the Federal employees are III
the National Park Service. The JUS
tice Department had arranged for ad-
vances for its payless employees but
those in the Park Service were forced
to wait congressional an dpresidential
action. Some of the District agencies
awaiting deficiency funds also have
been holding up salary obligations.
In the case of the Alley Dwelling
Authority the bill carries authoriza-
ton for the agency to use funds re-
naming in its treasury, plus any in
come for the coming year, in carrying
on its program for another IL months.
Originally. request was made for
100000 appropriation, but the House
baked on the grounds that the fund
appropriated one year ago was in
tended to be revolving one.
The compromise authorization is
expected to make about $3.50, 900 avail
able to the agency.
Among the other District items is
fund of 100000 for the local unem-
ployment compensation program,
500, 900 for street and road improve
ment and $4,000 for school depart
ment expenses.
The District also shares in improve
ment contemplated in the emergency
flood control act, which was signed
yesterday, this measure carrying pro-
vision for flood control work near the
Lincoln Memorial and at several other
points along the Potomac and Ana
costa Rivers.
