now quite dead under decision of the
Supreme Court-even though these men,
bers of Congress might not believe that
the measure was constitutional.
AS the Michigan Senator pointed out,
there is difference between giving relief
to the unemployed and destitute and
reckless spending of Government money
taken from the people, rich and poor
alike. The Roosevelt administration, he
said, continues to pile up billions Of
dollars of debt upon billions of dollars
of debt, "revelling in waste and often in
political racketeering." The destitute
and the unemployed, Vandenberg de-
clared, are entitled to relief without the
miserable political exploitation which
many of them suffer now"
The analysis of the situation in this
country which mas developed under the
New Deal administration, made by Sem
ator Vandenberg, is worth studying. The
exploitation of the people by Govern
ment is an old story, and not story OF
liberal principles. 1t has been done for
countless ages by princes, kings, en-
perors and dictators, dictator" being
the more modern title.

stars known to astronomers as long
period variableS show features which
never satisfactorily have been explained.
1t is known that these stars are giants
of very low surface temperatures COM
pared with the sun. Yet the spectra
show lines which can be explained only
on the basis of very high energies, alto
gether Incompatible with the deduced
surface temperatures. They could be
explained as resulting from the atomic
ray bombardment of atmospheric par
ticles.
Calculating the extent of the atmos-
phere Of such a star. DR.. Zwicky points
out that if all the interStellar rays which
penetrate this atmosphere are absorbed,
the total energy would be equivalent to
the enormous figure of approximately
10000 900, 900, 900 900, ,000, 900 100000 ergs a
second. The chief constituents of such
an atmosphere are atoms of hydrogen
and hence the bombardment would effect
the spectrum chiefly as hydrogen ennis
sion lines.
But, Dr. Zwicky explains in his Ma
tional Academy report, all creation pre-
Sumablv is also constantly under the
bombardment of the faster and much
more powerful cosnnic rays whose con-
stituents are vastly smaller particles.
These are more penetrating, however,
and tend to knock out atomic fragments
for vaster distances and at greater speeds.
Hence their effect tends to be that of
dispersal of cosn1ic dust and gas clouds
and stellar atmosphereS in the long run
lust the opposite of that of the atomic
rays.

Experience and knowledge
Result from Locust Hunt

To the Editor of The Star:
A short article in The Star on the
cicadas, or 17-year locusts, attracted
my special attention.
/. That locusts are good to eat. AS to
that do not know, wasn't hungry.
2. That locusts apparently have more
intelligence than other bugs"
I can say something on that. YeSter-
day we took to the tall, suburban timber
on a locust hunt. Went out Wisconsin
avenue and in the outskirts of the city
stopped at filling station and inquired
for locusts. A long g-suffering but kindly
disposed attendant told us to go back
to Macomb street, and as the car
was about to move heard him say to
companion, Some more nuts"
We drove back to Macomb street and
found locusts in plenty, though a resi-
dent there told us had we come a week
sooner a car load could have been easily
gathered. We captured five of the little
fellows and turned them loose in the
car with a small maple branch under
them to sort of make them feel at
home, but they did not take to the
branch very well and we had several
round-ups before getting home.
Arriving home we had another round
up and herded them once more on the
branch. Started for the house with
them only few steps but three spread
their wings and flew too far to recapture.
The two left I put under a glass
pitcher and had not more than turned
away when some one says: Hes out"
Sure enough, one had gained his free
dom and already had travelled several
inches from the pitcher-the spout was
door for him.
picked him up gently to not squeeze
his ribs and again placed him under
the pitcher. Now that locust had a
sense of location-he turned and Squarely
faced the door he had used once-he
did not run craZily about as other in
sects do under similar conditions, but
with his two red eyes he saw that
opening and again started for open
country. He hit that aperture perfect,
and quick as I was he had head and
shoulders out before my thumb could
get there, and I had to hold my thumb
there while getting paper wad in
the hole to keep him inside.
Don't tell me the locust is devoid Of
intelligence-he has more sense than
the wild turkey that follows the trail of
grain with his head down, picking up
and swallowing the kernels, and the trail
of grain leads him under covered coop
where the coop sides clears his back
while STOPPING for grain and the trail
ends in the middle of the coop.
Then up goes his head on a full
stretched neck and starts for some other
| part of the forest. He soon discovers
he cannot go and starts circling about
| the inside of his cage, head high in the
air, circling and calling-all he has to
do is put his head down and one step
means freedom. But he doesn't stoop
and the coop owner comes along and gets
him. Don't tell me my locust didn't
| have more sense than that.

The Queen Mary.

The maiden voyage of the new British
liner Queen Mary was dramatic enough
to satisfy the most ardent of romance
lovers. 1t is not too much to say that
the whole world watched her progress
from Southampton to New York. BY
grace of radio, every moment of the voy-
age was reported to a universal audience.
The story will linger in the memory of
an entire generation of people for many
years to come
Perhaps one explanation of the attrac-
ton of such an event is that in the
average human heart there is certain
compelling instinct toward the sea. Not
every individual is familiar with ships,
but few indeed are the number to whom
they lack interest. Landlubbers ride

Public Enemies?

Senator Vandenberg of Michigan, in
a radio interview Sunday night, peril
nently asked, How can private COM
merce be healthy when the Government
usually treats all business men as though
they were public enemies?" The an
swer is: 1T cannot be healthy, nor can
it provide jobs for unemployed workers" !"
AS permanent affair, dole from the
Government, or even w. P. A. job, is
not happy prospect. There are millions
of people, including vast number of
the workers in industry, who will agree
with the Michigan Senator, who said:
''The best thing the Government can do
Is to get off the track and give legiti-
mate business chance to make Jobs for
the unemployed"
The indictment Of the Roosevelt New
Deal by Senator Vandenberg, a poten-
tial Republican candidate for President,
was complete in many respects. He
could see nothing liberal in the efforts
of the New Dealers to break down the
Constitution of the United States, which
is the real safeguard of the liberties of
the people. He could see nothing liberal
in President Roosevelt's ripping into
the Constitution or referring contemptu-
ously to it as an instrument of the
horse and buggy days." Nor did he
consider 1t liberal" for the President to
urge upon Democratic members of Con-
gress the passage Of the Guffey coal act

Figures.
Figures in sculpture are dear to the heart,
Figures are fair in pictorial art:
But the figures that orators place in our
reach
Are elusive creations called figures of
speech"
When figures are small little errors
appear,
But they soon fade away and are not so
severe;
But when you add ciphers by threes in
row
What's going to happen, nobody will
know.
But we figure along to the end of our
days
On old calculations in new-fangled ways.
The figures in which it is hardest to
think
Are those that the bookkeeper writes in
red ink.

Tracewen on Sociability
Of Wood Thrush UpheId

To the Editor of The Star:
have read with interest the letter
of r. Lappin in your issue of May 19,
regarding the. wood thrush and the
criticism given Mr.. Tracewell. Being a
consistent reader of This and That"
column, agree with Mr.. Tracewell as
to what he says regarding the wood
thrush. Living in a suburb, with plenty
of trees around our house, these birds
have become very sociable with us,
building their nests within feet of
our home on two different occasions,
each time in a small tree on opposite
sides of the house. Many times when
we are on the lawn they will come
within a few feet of us. Also we have
seen and heard them sing certain call
when standing on the ground.
In Birds of America" new book by
T. Gilbert Pearson, president of the
National Association of Audubon So
cieties; John Burroughs and others, pub
lished this year, you will find further
information regarding this beautiful
bird, which is truly an aristocrat OF
our lawns and gardens.

Returns to Washington
To See Plans Executed
To the Editor of The Star:

10 tne EQltOT OF 0tdA.
That was very gentle and delightful
gesture in your editorial column May 26
under the caption, Coming Back But,
then, what could one expect? The Star
habitually does the right thing.
In my individual case your article is
100 per cent true. More especially be-
cause when member of Congress in
1903, 1 told my colleagues that my
district would back me in voting 81 ,000,-
100000 to beautify Washington, and
a billion was more than pin money then.
We of the West felt that the world
would visit our National Capital and
we wanted our foreign friends to see
something worthy of our great hinter-
land. I then urged that everything
below the Avenue be cleared away and
a line of Government buildings, as
needed, be erected between the White
House and the Capitol; also that the
cheap district adjacent to the Capitol
be cleared away and a plaza established
there. Finally my advice has been ac-
cepted and my plan adopted, and we
now behold a city quite beyond compare.
1 am proud of it, and though I have
indeed seen years, and many solemn
changes have gone before me, for am
now an "octogenarian," soon to be trans
planted to the garden of the gods, I
shall ever have Washington in my care
and keeping. The joy of achievement
holds high place in the marathon of life,
but after all is it not better to bind up
a broken heart than to find star?

the waves in dreams. The folk legends
of a hundred nations preserve the mari
time myths of long ago-they are a
portion of the cultural inheritance Of
the race.
And it is natural, of course, that the
present age should produce its quota of
tales of the briny deep. Only twelve
month back, the Queen Mary's rival, the
Normandie of the French line, made her
initial run to the applause of millions
In the near future a great American
competitor for the blue ribbon is sched-
uled to be launched. For each example
of the modern shipbuilder's art there
will be public recognition. None of them
will fail to exert its own peculiar mag
netiSm on the responsive minds of men,
women and children quick to catch even
the least consequential drum beat of the
march of progress.
Meanwhile, Sir Edgar Britten deserves
congratulation for his sensible decision
against taking chances. With fog to con-
tend with, he wisely chose not to risk
danger in an effort to achieve the cross
ing in unprecedented haste. The Queen
Mary needed four days six hours and
thirty eight minutes to travel the dis
tance from Bishops Rock to Ambrose.
In other language, she was trife more
than half knot slower than the Nor
mandie. For equal weather, their pace
probably would be about the same But
safety is of greater Importance than
speed, even in an era of panic hurry.
Passengers as we'll as builders and op-
orators should remember that.
