CARROLL

Hummable new tunes, tantalizing new dances, and Shirley Temple in her most lovable, believable role! Those are the entertainment de- lights that 20th Century's Captain January" brings Sunday and Mon- day to the Carroll theater.
 The underlying dramatic story of Captain January" deals with the adventures and near-tragedies of Shirley and her two grizzled sea- salt friends Guy Kibbee and Slim Summerville.
 Kibbee, who had rescued Shirley from the sea when she was an in- fant, is jealously fond of the little girl, forever afraid that somebody will turn up with a better claim to her.
 When Sara Haden, the mean old truant officer, threatens to take Shirley from him, Kibbee stops his clubbing with Slim, and they join forces to temporarily outwit Miss Haden.
 hTe climax of the picture is de. voted to thrilling sea-chase, in which Shirley and Kibbee flee from Miss Haden in Q sailing ketch. AL though they are caught, their friends contrive to bring a happy ending to the picture.
 The companion feature is Every body's old Man" with Rochelle Hud- son, Johnny Downs and Norman Poster.

CAPITOL

A story of young folks in love and young fry in trouble, in the touch- ing, happy, uproariously funny style that only Booth Tarkington pos- sesses, come Sunday and Monday to the Capitol theater in Gentle Julia," the new Fox comedy-ro- nance featuring Jane Withers at the head of an all-star cast.
 Teaming Jane with Jackie Searl. her mad-cap partner of "Ginger," the picture brings the quaint charm and dTowsy happiness of a midwest town of the early 1900's to the scree in the story of little hellion who played cupid in her on mo- nentS.
 Jane and Jackie are cousins, meln- bers of the towns best family, per- petually engaged in Q feud, with Jane getting slightly the better of 1t. Her only other diversion is iil- terfering in the cratic romances Of her pretty aunt, Marsha Hunt.
 w h e n George Meeker, Q ''smoothie" from the big city, bee gins to monopolize all of Miss Hunts time, Jane takes Q hand in the pro- ceedings. She and Tom Brown plot bunch of crazy stratagems that sometime succeed but more often gets them all In trouble.

Presidential Polemics.

AS polemic phrase maker, in his
attack upon those opposed to his eco
nomic and administrative policies in the
course of his address to Congress last
night, President Roosevelt did not quite
reach the high point of epigrammatic
expression attained by his relative and
predecessor, Theodore Roosevelt, whose
"malefactors of great wealth" became
o slogan of assault upon the trusts and
their makers more than thirty years ago.
He mentioned them by various titles and
descriptions. but none of his apothegms
had quite the pungency of that now
historic utterance. There was something
sufficiently unusual about the word
"maiefactors" that caused it to ring in
the public ear until it became slogan.
A close approach to this accomplishment
in last nights speech was "unscrupulous
money changers" which was by no means
UP to the "malefactor" point. Nor was
'intrenched greed" particularly novel.
"The ruthless and the strong" was rather
TOO cadent and metric to be forceful.
sThe cowardly cloak of generality" was
somewhat better, though it lacked steam

Josiah Royce.

The "wise philosopher" to whom Presi-
dent Roosevelt referred in the closing
passage of his address to Congress was
Josiah Royce, dearly beloved and highly
respected teacher at Harvard University
from 1882 until his death, September IA,
1916
Born Of English parents and brought
up in the gold rush" atmosphere of
California, the future sage was instructed
in the bitter significance of poverty from
infancy onward. His first mentor was his
mother, native of Shakespeare's town
in Warwickshire. Then he providentially
came under the influence of Theodore
Bradley at the Boys High School in San
Francisco and had for classmate Albert
A. Nicholson. who later was to win fame
as physicist competent to debate Albert
Einstein on relativitye The atmosphere
of the time and the place was invigo-
rating and the stimulated and courage
GUS mind of the lad moved steadily up

the recently established University of
California at Berkeley. He appraised
himself accurately even at that period
of his career when he spoke of his atti-

born non-conformiSt."

Longfellow's Tribute to
The Comfort of His Books

10 tne EOltor Oh i ne Stdr.
Reading an editorial in The Star on
the value of books, I recall having come
across quotation. I think that it is
one of the most beautiful that I have
read recently.
Owing to decrepitude Longfellow, dur
ing the last years of his life, was con-
fined mostly to his room. He was not
blessed as most of the present shut
ins" are. He had no telephone, enabling
him to converse with the outside world
nor a radio whereby he could listen to
the beSt-music, drama, lectures and the
news-from all parts of the world. Much
of that time he had to spend in solitude,
but not alone.
During those years of confinement he
received hundreds of letterS-letters from
people in all walks of life, both in
America and abroad-because he had
written for 1.-The common human heart" I"
The common people-the day laborer, the
clerk the merchant, the banker-aH had
learned that he, through the verses he
had written, had had power to make
the most commonplace, the dull and
proSaic attractive and interesting. After
having read them, no matter how long
the hours, how monotonouS and irksome
the task, there was different feeling
the task was more easily borne, more
important, more full of meaning"
Gratifying as those letters, from his
hundreds of admirers, were, yet his one
great comfort was his books, shelved in
his spacious library. While he no longer
was able to use or. even, to peruse through
them, yet they still inspired him so much
that he penned for the world these beau
tiful words-"My Books:
so behold these books upon the shelf
My ornaments and arms of other days,
Not wholly useless, though no longer
used;
For they remind me of my other self,
Younger and stronger, and the pleasant
ways
In which walked, now clouded and con-
fused" OSCAR M. MILLER.

Failure of Snow Removal
Enforcement Disgraces CITY

To the Editor of The Star.
am here only few months, as for
the past eight years have been travelling
for business through different European
countries. Since returning to my own
country and settling here in Washing
ton I am really shocked to see how
after snowstorm so few people seem
to bother about cleaning their side
walks.
We have enough accidents and deaths
through autos and need not add more
through falls on snow and ice, which
surely will be the result II cleaning is
not dCne Immediately by all citizens after
q heavy fall of snow. Why can't this
cleaning be enforced? How about using
some of the unemployed men to clean
of snow in front of houses and empty
lots of negligent owners and then charge
the cost TO them. This would help to
give additional revenue to the city: also
safe walking to all and money to people
who actually need 1t. I saw irt your
Saturday night paper of last week an
article written by G.. Butler, who was
complaining because the pool had snow
on top, thereby the skaters could not
enjoy their Winter sport. He said: Our
Police Department had failed to get the
snow cleaned of from the ice." I say
It Is far more important If the proper
authorities would see that all people
clean their walks so our citizens who
must get out for work will not have to
tramp through the deep snow. A good
idea would be to impose a fine upon all
who are negligent in doing this clean
ing, and in this way, incidentally, some
more money could be raised by the city.
I am really surprised to see our Nations
Capital is so far behind other similar
cities of Europe, as in whatever country
I happened to be during a cold season
streets were cleaned Immediately after
a snowstcrm, and by noon you would
hardly know that old Winter had left.
its mantle of white on the streets. An
other thing that I would like to call at
tention TO is the street signs on corners.
Why doesn't Washington change to
black backgrounds with white letters in
stead of gold letters? This latter might
be considered more elegant, but, believe
me, they are very hard to read at night,
especially so with the dim lights IAN
ether thing that might be improved in
an important city, here in use. 1t is
very hard for a motoriSt to find his way
around after dark. The Capital of the
United States of America ought to be,
and should be, foremost and first among
capitals of the world for good lighting
cleanliness, safety and respecting the
laws. Before closing, I hope that all
citizens who read this article will make
resolutions for the new year to do unto
others as you would like them to do unto
YOU" and thus make our city more safe
not only to others but to members OF our
own families Surely this is serious
enough to think about and enforce at
once, LULA NJ DE NUCCIO.

Conte, and the poet and essayist. Edward
Rowland Sill; and they introduced him
to Herbert Spencer and John Stuart
Mill, from whose homiletic writings he
travelled forward to Goethe, Lotze,
Schelling, Schopenhauer, Fichte and
Hegel. Naturally enough. he felt that
he must study in Germany itself, not
merely In a Germanic environment.
Thus 1t happened that he crossed to
Gottingen and Leipzig in 1875 and heard
Wundt and Windelband, fashionable
prophets Of the hour. His continental
background qualified him for appoint
ment as one of the first twenty fellows of
Johns Hopkins University, collected by
Daniei Colt Gilman to justify the ex-
istence of the new Baltimore academy.
More important, however, than his posi-
ton was his acquaintance with William
James, through whom shortly he was
called to Cambridge.

He became, it is true, "the most influen-
tial American philosopher of his day."
but he is not. completely understood.
Perhaps he cared for too many things,
too many different values. In any case,
he was proI.x, involved and confusing.
One of his biographers notes his pro-
found metaphysical passion" but also
rates him as something of a British
emIricist." 1t seems that he was both
monist and apantheist-contradictory
as that may seem. Yet he was a mar
velously effective teacher. His pupils
adored him, probably because he stirred
them to an enthusiasm which less color
full instructors could not generate in
their hearts. Romantic and idealistic,
he appears to have earned the regard
of Mr.. Roosevelt by his devotion to a
dream Of the world as Great Com
munity" wherein everybody would be
pledged to moral loyalty"

center from which their ancestors had
arisen. The less progressive were forced
further westward toward the Atlantic.
True man appeared in Europe in
comparatively high stage of culture.
Presumably. being the most progressive,
he had remained in the home land north
of the Himalayas for countless centuries
while he advanced in mentality and cul-
ture. Then some factor, probably in
creasing density of population and in
creaSing poverty of the land, forced
great migration. This overran the less
fit precursors who had been the pioneer
settlers in the lands to the east and
west They rapidly were eliminated.
Up to this time the only means of
migration had been by land bridges.
Hence Neanderthal types are found only
in Asia, Europe and Africa. But the
advanced newcomers, sweeping out of
the desert valleys north of the Himalayas,
were sufficiently advanced to build crude
RATS or boats. They not only pushed
along the land routes where the less fit
people had preceded them. but made
their way to Australia and New Zealand.
That, Sir Arthur says, probably is the
reason why no Skeletal remains of pre-
human precursors have been found in
Australia. They were stopped by the
seas on their way southwark and had
no means of crossing them.
Neither are there any remains of an
cient man in the Americas. The earliest
inhabitants belonged to the most ad-
vanced of human types. Here again the
precursors were prevented from spread
ing by the absence of land bridges.
Sir Arthur Keith believes that only
by this systematic survey of the early
tertiary age deposits across South Gen.
tral Asia can the immediate ancestors OF
man be found.
Anthropologically the region is almost
unexplored. At the best only the sur
face has been scratched. In the Sivalik
Hills of India ape teeth have been found
which are almost indiStinguishabie from
human teeth. Their owners probably
were very close to the genus from which
the human stem arose. Thus far. how
ever. no other bones of these apes have
appeared.
Some anthropologists have maintained
recently that the probable birthplace OF
the human race was East Africa, due to
the discovery there of remains almost
indistinguishable from those of present.
day man associated with very primitive
implements and in ancient geological
strata. But, says Sir Arthur Keith, if
mans migrations had started from this
point the fossil distribution would have
been very different. Moreover, more
careful study has brought grave doubt as
tn whether the fossils were not compara-
lively late burials.
