Camera Artists.

When the camera first was invented
painters as class. especially in France,
recognized in it an instrument of COM
petition. It was, they believed. a ma
chine which in the course of time would
relegate pencils and brushes to oblivion.
Mathematically efficient, almost uni
versal in application potentially, demo-
cratic and popular in connotation, it
might be expected to revolutionize
esthetic practice. The threat had much
to do with bringing into existence the
impressionist and post-impressionist
schools of art.
But the panic was unjustified. Dur
ing more than sixty years camera
makers have continued to improve their
products. Today they have achieved
perfection of development which appears
to be impossible to excel. BY the In
vestment of relatively little money q
photographer may equip himself for
the taking Of pictures which are as
clear and sharp as etchings and in many
respects equally satisfying. A new pic
torial technique gradually has been
created by thousands Of craftsmen work.

Yet painting has not suffered. The

decade. should have the effect of restor-
ing order where chaos momentarily pre-
vailed. Meanwhile, the Old Masters re-
main what they always were-classics
untouched by passing whims and
fashions.
Perhaps the centenary of Daguerre's
famous paper before the Academy of
Arts and Sciences, an event which will
occur on August 10, 1899, may furnish
an occasion for an international exhibi-
ton to illustrate the values which the
camera has added to civilization. The
suggestion is one which photographers
might care to consider.

Federal Owned Subway
Should Prove Profitable,

To the Editor of The Star:
Peoples Counsel w. A. Roberts ct al.
have from time to time suggested that
the solution to Washingtons grim traf-
fic problem lies in the building Of rail-
way subways. w. j. Dermott, consult.
ing engineer, while admitting that sub.
ways would help to ease the traffic situ-
alton here, has given us the benefit OF
his technical advice, in that the building
Of subways would be q tremendous un.
dertaking, of tremendous expense to. the
District of Columbia. 1t Is only logical
to assume that others Of the professional
life of the District. especially those who
are, engineers in the technical field, will
agree with Mr.. Dermott. 1t will take
considerable more money than the Con-
gressional District Appropriations Com
mittee has been willing to appropriate
for our welfare in the past. That means
it will take more than the whole
hearted support Of the District asso-
Citations and the District Automobile
Associations lobby combined to convince
Congress that it should part with up
ward of q million dollars for the con-
struction Of an electrically operated
underground railway system. And it
might even take toll of more lives in
street mishaps to prove to those old die
hards on Capitol Hill that subways are
the one emergency need Of the moment.
OF course. 1t is assumed that were
Congress to make an appropriation,
through the Distrist Appropriations
Committee, providing for the construc-
tion Of such gigantic enterprise, that
1t would be entirely Government
owned and operated underground rail-
way system. And 1t is also assumed that
the subway would pay for itself after
five years operation. Perhaps in less
time. In other words, the United States
Government would be reimbursed during
the first Ave years of operation for the
amount Of money it poured out into such
an adventure. and thereafter they-or it
would be lin the money" II New York
City's Eighth avenue subway can be
operated by the city at a profit to the
city, why isn't 1t possible for the Federal
Government to make a similar expert
ment here and profit thereby. Let's
assume that approximately $4,000 COM
muters ride the subways twice day at
the rate of a nickel-five cents-a trip.
Two trips, 10 cents. The daily subway
receipts would be in the neighborhood
Of $4,000 day. or 81 .532, 10000 per
annum. Let's assume. too. that over
head and other essential operating ex-
penSes account for 100000 a year. The
Government would be ahead 81 ,432 500 90
annually. That would be q nice, tidy
sum for the United States Treasury.
1t is quite noticeable that a five-cent
subway fare would materially affect the
fares of the surface car system. But in
such a case Capital Transit could profit
with a five-cent fare by eliminating the
pass system 50 indispensable just now.

STARS, MEN AND ATOMS
Notebook of Science Progress in Field,
Laboratory and Study.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

most fertile fields Imaginable. They
complained that they were starving to
death because there were no women to
till the soil. The year 1928 was a lean
one all over the province, but the men
preferred to squat down in their houses
and feed on the flowers of the coconut
tree rather than earn a little rice a day
by doing work which easily could have
been done by boys IL years of age. This
work. they complained, was too hard for
them"
The choice between light work and
starvation, Father Vanoverbergh ex-
plains, has driven even some of the men
to labor with their hands-but it does
not seem right to them. Once he ex-
planned to q group of these men the
movements Of the sun and said that
around the North and South Poles there
is darkness six months of the year.
They became very envious of the
Eskimo.
What a fine place-not to have to
work for six months" they commented.
I'VE wish we were living in a place like
that"
The attitude of the women is largely
one Of mute acceptance. They have
been taught from infancy that it is
their lot to be the toilers. They probably
would be the first to ridicule any man
caught working in the fields and the wife
of such a man would be pitied for hav-
ing to put up with such queer husband.
The very richpess of the Isneg land,
Father Vanoverbergh explains, is largely
responsible for the genesis of this atti-
tude. Normally enough food to live on
can be obtained with very little effort.
In the old head-hunting days the small
amount of garden work necessary was
probably not an Unjust imposition on
the women. Among tribes of kindred
stock in a neighboring rocky and un-
fertile habitat the men are hard workers
and are relatively prosperous. The re-
quirements for obtaining food were so
hard that it never was possible to turn
them over entirely to the women and
men had to be both cultivators and head
hunters at the same time. AS a result
the rigid sex differentiation never arose.

Golden Rule Principle Is
Needed in Human Relations

To the Editor Of The Star:
There is reluctance on the part Of our
great public utility corporations to accept
the Golden Rule as a guiding principle
in human relations, although some of the
clearest thinkers and most far-seeing
business men indorse it unequivocally.
For instance, Roger w. Babson is quoted
as saying, only the Golden Rule will
save this country-not the rule of gold"
And Edison, whose many inventions are
used, but whose urgent advice is ignored,
called the Golden Rule this great
principle" Remarkable words of re-
markable man.
Recently many Of our public utilities
have transferred the responsibility of
their pension system to outside concerns,
and the older and pioneer employees are
left with more or less inadequate and
uncertain pensions. Now, by applying
the Golden Rule, an idea at once pre-
sents itself to solve the problem.
1t is to adopt q normal minimum for
the pension system. except that those
whose positions pay less than this mini
mum may be retired on full pay. Such
q modification would not add to the
difficulties and dismal outlook of the
old and faithful employees and their
families, but would rebound to the benefit
Of ALL including the company itself. For
an adequate pension system acts as a
great stabilizing force in the community,
improving business and economic and
social condition. Many good Americans
feel that something should be done con-
structively, and the Golden Rule Is con-
structive. And If accepted as this great
principle" and used by our great corpora
tions, 1t would build up the country as no
other law could-and it would be con-
Stitutional.
With all our boasted civilization, mar
velous mechanical and technical develop
ment, ingenious inventions and mate
rialistic intellectually, our people are no
happier, rather less so. Indeed, material
progress alone, from its very nature, cam
not bring real happiness. But the golden
rule can bring happiness, in which is no
fear or false foundation.
