Acknowledgement of Error
On Ludke Citizenship
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
We wish to thank that lady corre-
spondent in The Star OF the 26th instant
for the "bit of information" regarding
the Ludke flag case and admit we must
have been wrong in intimating that
Ludke was not naturalized citizen.
However. what I wish to emphasize Is
that the antagonistic attitude toward the
flag Is q grave error at this particular
stage and might mean a message from
Moscow. At dangerous crossings we in
stall danger signals. like Stop Look and
Listen" We might add when the red
light shows it means danger ahead, or
words to that effect. We would not
forgive ourselves for censuring any form
of religion that is based on the tenets Of
the golden rule. or the universal brother
hood of humanity idea We presume the
Jehovah creed is built on instruction
found somewhere in the Bible. and we
wonder how it can be antagonistic to
patriotism and loyalty.
Though never was Bible student
would deem 1t worse than folly to discard
that Book for the worthless vaporings Of
Karl Marx and other red ruin stuff of
alien origin.
There may be breakers" ahead. We'd
rather be safe than sorry" and its un-
wise to Give in FOOLS paradise"

the biggest electrical kick Of all. due
to its mass and position.
Now sunspots long have been known
to increase and decrease in definite
cycles-the best known of which Is one
of slightly more than eleven years. The
relation Of this cyclic progression to the
planetary configurations remains to be
worked out and probably is extremely
complex
There is definite correlation between
the degree of sun-spottedness and the
output of solar radiation.
Again, as shown by the work Of DR..
Charles G. Abbot. secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution, there is a not
able correlation between solar radiation
and terrestrial weather.
Hence the confgurations of the three
inner planets may be ultimately an
active cause of weather variations
Sun-spottedness is associated in a CON-
plicated way with the Suns output of
heat This brings about, by and large,
notifications Of temperature over the
earth. Hence the movements of Venus
and Mercury may have an important
effect on weather phenomena.
Presumably the outer planets carry
similar negative charges, but they are so
far away that, so far as DR.. Sanford
could determine. they exert no influence
on sunSpots. For them the whirling gas
masses are too far away to be Kicked.

Executive Power ALWAYS
On the Side of the Angels

To the Editor OF The Star:
Mr.. Roosevelt was never in better form
than at Syracuse Tuesday night. Over
the radio his speech was a perfect work
of art, making the muscle bound articu-
lation of his rival. Gov. Landon. seem
weak and dingy. But when admiration
yields TO sober second thought, two grave
questions demand q more convincing
answer.
First. what are the real causes Of
communism? The Rooseveltian formula
is very simple. Economic royalists breed
bolshevism; soaking the rich destroys It,
But when the rich finally refuse to be
soaked and the near rich come to their
aid we have something else called
fascism that is just as bad A senti-
mental bureaucracy that fosters class
consciousness cannot long hold the bal
ance between these two dread alterna-
tives. Mr.. Browder knows this. So does
Mr.. Tugwell. What Mr.. Roosevelt knows
is anybody's guess.
Second. when does opposition become
malicious? The answer seems to be
when 1t must be taken seriously. Execu-
tive power is always on the side of the
angels, and any failure to approve and
cooperate is prima facie evidence of
some degree of moral turpitude. Espe-
cially If one happens to belong in that
high company of Washington and JEFF
ferson, jackson, Lincoln and Wilson!

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES &. TRACEWELL.

Sounds and smells of rainy days must
be taken into account, II one Is to get
the most out Of them.
Nor do we mean the smells OF rub
berized coats in crowded places.
We mean the fresh clean ordors OF the
outdoor garden. smelling deliciously Of
wet loan and leaves.
Often this fragrance Is vitiated. at first,
by dusty smell, as II the water were
taking into solution the very particles Of
dust which lack Of rain permitted to
pile up.
After the rain has been falling for
some time the garden has an entirely
different scent.
Then all the wet grass comes up with
grateful essence Of the outdoors,
strangely reminding one Of that other
great outdoors fragrance, the sea breeze
at the shere.
Each Of these great natural scents has
its own charm. one which has never been
put into bottle, and probably never
will be.
Every one has heard Of the garden
after rain" but we hold up the garden
during the rain as fine place to be, too.
Just few steps In 1t. close to the house.
II one wishes, and the whole aroma of
Nature in little will come to the shiffer.
He who sniffs in this world meets many
Objectionable odors, perhaps. but by con-
trast Is all the more enabled to rejoice
at the good ones, and to understand and
love them.
Sensitive persons may feel sure that
this fragrance Of the rainy day is a very
real thing. not just figment Of the
imagination.
1t is a real herbal brew, made from
the plant tissues themselves. OF course,
the extraction is very weak. There would
be no remedial value in 1t, but there Is
fragrance in it.
Enough of the plant is washed to give
this fine odor of the very wet day. One
has to be in love with plants. perhaps. to
appreciate 1t. Like many another good
thing of this world, superficial acquaint-
ance is worse than none at all. 1t is only
when one becomes really interested in
the garden, and its deniZens. that every
thing about it becomes enjoyable.
Thousands of plain people have entered
into this mystic relationship with the
earth. The so-called dirt farmer" has
his reward, and so has the amateur home
gardener.
One cannot have everything in this
world. A man may raise huge crops and
make much money. maybe. and still not
think about the fragrance of growing
things in the rain. He has had one thing,
but the amateur. who must do thinking
to get his peculiar crop. has his own
subtle rewards.
1t is because this is so. because every
one makes it so for himself, that the
small garden has come SO into its own
in recent years. Every one. philosopher
or not, knows there is much more there
than just few flowers. a shrub or two
and tree. There are birds there, Winds
rains, frost and snow, the appearances
of each and all. and the fragrances of
each and all, making undeniable impress
sions on the least sensitive. but immense
ly more on those who stop to think about
them as they 60 along. Thinking your
way around is one way of going places.

DIR. BOcOck's Plea for
Hospital Fund Supported
To the Editor of The atar.

To the Eoitor OF The otar:
l was very much impressed by the plea
of DR.. Bocock, superintendent Of CAL
linger Hospital, asking for an increase in
funds for additional room in that insti-
tuition in order that he might do better
work for the hundreds Of patients under
his care.
I am an occasional visitor to that
hospital and at times have been sur
prised by the insanitary condition of
things caused by q lack of space to do
the work properly Last Winter, when q
similar plea was made by the superin-
tendent for more room in order to do
better work. q certain gentleman In the
United States Congress, evidently visit
ing when there was slump In the
number Of patients hastily concluded
that there was no more room needed.
1t took me back many years ago when
I made an inspection of certain school
in the District of Columbia. The then
health oficer gave an adverse report Of
his finding. With the splendid corps
OF doctors and nurses that have OBJ
served from time to time doing their
best for the sick and afilicted, their work
should not be hampered for the want of
funds and other considerations. The
hospital bearing the name of one of
the most outstanding Senators OF his
day and time. this fact alone should be
an incentive to the United States Con-
gress to see that everything necessary for
the accomplishment of proficient work
be not lacking
In my younger days I acted as free
chaplain Of the Freedmen's Hospital for
several years, being in charge of the
eight wards and the chapel. Thus I
have knowledge Of what is necessary for
ef1cient work in such an institution,

California Leads i'm
Soil Productivity

Prom the Long Beach Press-Teleeram.
California leads the Nation in per acre
production of watermelons and straw
berries, according to statistics compiled
by the State Department Of Agriculture.
The entire State shares heavily in the
watermelon production. but in straw
berries Southern California, especially
Los Angeles and Orange Counties. leads.
Study Of these two minor crops indi-
Gates the infinite variety and importance
to the State of its secondary crops, and
further demonstrates the high produc-
tivity Of California soil. The watermelon
crop, which will soon be pouring into
the market, averages about 81 500 900 per
year. and strawberries $2,000,000 a con-
siderable contribution to the wealth of
the State.
In Southern California, the average
acre yield of Strawberries is 200 crates
highest per acre yield in the world. This
is due, Of course, to both the highly pro-
ductive soil in this section and the long
season, which extends far beyond the
natural limits Of strawberry culture.

More Treaty-Breaking.

Those countries which comprised the
old triple alliance-Germany, Italy and
Austria -Hungary-have achieved the
dubious distinction OF leading the world
in the realm of treaty-breaking. Per-
haps with the invasion of Manchuria
in 1892, Japan is entitled to claim
that she was first in that unenviable
competition. But in recent times the
Central Powers, plus the Italians, have
been the pace-makers. With rearma-
ment on land and sea and in the air,
Nazi Germany tore the treaty Of Ver-
sailles into tatters. Then, by remili-
tarizing the Rhineland, 1t reduced the
pact of Locarno to q scrap of paper.

Rain in the garden spelled the end Of

Rain in the garden spelled the end Of
the flowers.
Though the New England asters were
blooming, and the chrysanthemums on
the way, with q few other things to
flower, in the main the outdoor season
was over.
That last rain, q real one, put every
thing In the mood to feel tie first touches
of real Autumn chill when 1t comes.
Then the woody plants will lose their
leaves, one bysone: the softer woods will
die down to the ground: the leaves Will
be scattered from the trees. and every
thing will dig in for the Winter.
Before all this happens, however, peo-
pie with an eye to beauty can get their
fill of the season, If they will look closely
and not let little rain turn their
thoughts away.
Rain is something the city person must
approach with philosophy.
It takes real intellectual grasp OF situ-
ations, as they arise, to be happy with the
fat lady permitting the water from her
stubby umbrella to run down the back
Of your neck.
This is an all too common situation in
public transport. It develops. usually.
when the lady tries to take her seat. in
which act she bends forward at the
waist, and permits the end Of the short
umbrella to poke the man in seat ahead.
. His collar, acting as q funnel. receives
the entire drip. at least until he can
make convulsive movements with his
handkerchief. in sopping up the water.
A dripping raincoat. too, Is something
to try the fortitude of the person who
has none. Glistening wet, 1t Is placed
right along side the nice dry suit Of the
philosopher.
Such situations made quite sure that
he who would enjoy the rain as it falls
must be something Of a thinker, In his
own right.
If this attitude is not only approached.
but held forcibly, at times. the spectator
will find few days more interesting than
the one in which rain falls all day long.
He thinks, first, Of how good 1t is for
the growing things Of the garden.
He knows. better than most that 1t Is
the first real rain for a month.
Everything was so dry.
Yet everything-in the garden sense
looked remarkably well.
1t was Just another Of the unaccount-
able things OF an unaccountable season.
1t began last Spring. when foliage
everywhere increased in depth and
height. despite the inimical Winter. Most
persons. after such hard season, ex-
pected most shrubs and trees to do worse.
but such was not the case. Everything
burst forth with more leaves on longer
branches. Some thought this was to pro-
vide for the cicadas, in laying their eggs.
Despite the drought In this section.
manifesting itself in an almost totally
dry September. when often September is
one Of the wettest months, all sorts OF
garden material did finely.
The grass, in particular, was at its
best.
When that final real rain came down.
the grass absorbed it gratefully, but
looked in as good shape at first as after
ward.
This was Just another of the queer
quirks Of the season.

Historic Smiling.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Historic Smiling.
Rome sat upon her seven hills
And smiled and smiled and smiled.
BY many great and beauteous thrills
The public was beguiled.
Rome had been active, so they say,
In strategems and law
Until at last she smiled one day
And simply said, "Hurrah!'
OF Patriot Heroes Rome would hear
Who served their country well.
Some Solius Bloomius would draw near
OF Patriot deeds to tell.
Some Rex Tugvillius would conspire
With an agrarian host,
And when Rome seemed to 60 haywire
Was when She smiled the most.

That was not, of course, the charge.
The charge was disorderly conduct, the
disorderly conduct consisting of the
gentleman's having had words-prob-
ably very hard words-with the nosey
policemen. 1t is easier to condone the
gentleman's losing his temper, which
he admitted, than to find any excuse
under the sun for the two policemen.

Missouri River Dotted With Posts
Innumerable posts were established
along the Missouri river between st.
Louis and the mouth Of the Yellow
stone. Dozens were founded in Mon
and contradictory information has
unearthed by historians regarding some
of them. There has come down also,
a confusion in the names of some. For
instance, the post established by Man.
uel Lisa in 1907 at the mouth of the
Big Horn, was known variously as
Fort Lisa, Fort Manuel and Manuers
fort. During the years that followed
there were two Fort Bentons, two Fort
Sarpy's, two Fort Van Burens, each
located in different places at different
times.
The post established by Lisa in 1907
was, as stated, at the mouth of the
Big Horn river just below where the
town of Custer in Yellowstone county
is now located. Lisa had with him at
the time John Golfer, a member of the
met going down the Missouri river, and
induced to return with his party.
George Drouillard, who was with Lewis
and Clark as hunter and interpreter,
also joined Lisa.
In 1903 Lisa formed the Missouri
Fur Co., and the ownership of the post
was transferred to that corporation.
In 1910 the company sent a party from
Fort Lisa to Three Forks in charge OF
Pierre Menard and Andrew Henry to
erect a fort.
Fort Lisa Abandoned
The Three Forks post was attacked
by the Indians several times and in one
of the battles Drouillard was killed.
Menard returned to st. Louis and
Henry abandoned the Three Forks fort.
He moved his men and supplies to
the Snake river in the Idaho country.
Before he did so, however, he is
thought to have gone back to Fort Lisa
at the mouth of the Big Horn, re-
Fort Van Buren,. BY the last of June
they had lost one-fourth of their men
by violent deaths and half their prop
erty by accident and in battles with the
Indians. Following this disastrous voy-
age Fort Van Buren, was abandoned.
Ashley and Henry returned to the
region again in 1923 and established
a post. but abandoned it the next year.
