with an interesting letter from
Berlin:
"On razor edge and rarin to go,

is being done by trio Of Democratic
Senators-Pittman of Nevada, OMa-

ligiously refrained from communicating
his electioneering encourage with Old
Guardsmen and surrounded himself ex-
clusively with homegrown Kansas jour-
nalistic advisers. Both the Democratic

that watchful country has taken due

Relief and Industry.
From the Wall Street Journal,


From time to time in recent weeks a
shortage Of farm labor has been reported
in widely separated localities throughout
the country. Now 1t appears, according
to survey Of the problem, that this con-
dition has become general. Not less than
IL States are cited as reporting definite
difficulties experienced by farmers in
securing adequate aid to harvest the
crop.
In certain instances, 1t is claimed,
the shortage of labor is attributable to
w. p. A. jobs. which the harvest hands
prefer to the work in the fields. Al
though some States, notably Mississippi,
have offered definite proof of this con-
dition, 1t is merely presumed to exist
in other localities. The policy Of the
w. p. A. as announced at washington
Is to dismiss men from relief roles when
they are offered private employment, and
there is little tangible evidence that this
policy is not being carried out as . gen.
eral rule.
What is demonstrable, however, is the
growing number OF jobs all over the
country, and therefore what should be q
declining need for continued Federal
subsidy Of unemployment relief.

what Nature had made it-a bulwark
for England. True enough, william OF
Normandy crossed In 1865. proving de-
family that the feat could be accom-
plished. But the explanation Of his
achievement lay in the weakness Of his
foe. Harold the Saxon had no navy to
oppose his three Thousand ships and
sixty thousand men. The memory Of the
conqueror's triumph served to protect
his descendants in 1888, when Philip II
of Spain despatched his grand armada
to burn the towers of Westminster.
Storms and courageous human resistance
spoiled the plot, and England remained
free.
So it happened that numerous pro-
posals for a tunnel under the channel
in recent years came to nothing. The
tradition of history has been hostile to
any such link between London and
Paris. No responsible leader OF public
opinion has been willing to argue the
matter In Parliament or press. Engi-
neers might plan to correlate the two
capitals; financiers might express their
approval in terms of stock subscribed.
Yet the stolid British masses, mindful
of the past, remained unmoved.
The problem, however. has been solved.
On Columbus day new channel ferry
system was put in operation. A train
left London in the morning, went aboard
a specially constructed ship at Dover an
hour later, was transported over the
water to the French side in approx
mately one hundred minutes. and made
the remainder of the trip to Paris in
time for late tea at five-thirty o'clock.
Passengers were not obliged to change
cars The novelty of the excursion is
expected to contribute to the success
of the arrangement. Napoleon's ghost
may be supposed to be terribly chagrined.

Ethelbert Stewart.

Ethelbert Stewart, who died yesterday,
was representative Of the highest type
Of public servant. It is not too much to
hope that some day, under rigidly
enforced merit system and q complete
separation of public service from politics,
there will be many more like him in our
army of Government employees. To him
the material reward for his service was
secondary. First came the love-perhaps
respect is q more fitting word-for the
work in which he was involved. His
goal was the pursuit Of facts and their
scientific, not their political, interpreta-
ton. When the demands of politics
clashed with what he considered the
demands Of facts, others might worry
but he did not. He left the Department

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Rain In the night Is one Of the most
completely satisfying sounds in the world
provided, Of course, that the roof does
not leak, and the listener is interested In
plants.
Given these two essentials. the auditor
finds Nature provides him with beautiful
music, to hear which he does not have
to stir out of bed even.
This is luxurious music.
It has the languor of the tropics, mixed
with dreams of far-away islands.
Right here in Washington. too. which
is magic Of a sort. When the Autumn Is
warm and the rain falls steadily in the
night, not much imagination Is required
even to dream.
Yet ones plants are ones very own,
not dreams; except what berries the
birds take from the shrubs from this
time Of year on.
This makes the rain a very real thing.
after all, not something thousands Of
miles away.
This is music for any one, not just for
q select few in a hall
As with all real music, however, some
prior knowledge is necessary.
Rain, to many, Is just-rain.
It is music to the knowing. And how
do these latter get that way? What
DISTINGUISHES them from the masses, to
whom rain Is just water and veritable
nuisance, any way you take It?
The distinguishing feature Is the in
terest In plant life.
This plant life ranges all the way from
trees. mightiest of horticultural subjects.
to tiny rock garden denizens, scarcely
more than an inch high.
This interest has SO many sides to 1t
that there is no room today to mention
but one-that of water in relation to the
growing things Of the garden.
This perennial subject is known to all
gardeners, amateur or professional. the
man with his acres or the woman with q
few plants on the window sill.
Water is the great essential.
And when 1t falls on the garden 1t
brings rejoicing not only to the things
growing there, but also to all garden
minded persons.
It is not Just a rain, something to be
looked upon solely in relation to traftlc,
DuL LIl6 fCIltdDlC LAG 1AoN0 va living
things.
It is this realization which makes the
night rain 50 pleasant, for the listener
knows that it is really doing good.
Especially if the rain is Of the gentle.
drizzling variety, which throws much
water over long period upon the earth.
making up for whatever force 1t may lack
by the length of time it comes down.
This is the beloved rainy night OF the
good garden and the good gardener.
It is something you have to be in love
With to really understand and actually
love.
This Is the rainy night of poets. who
through the ages have found something
precious in the sound of rain on the roof.
This is where the roof comes in. 1t must
be tight and whole. 1t must make music
of its own, q sort of drum for the sticks
Of rain.
There is a quietness to such night
seldom found otherwise.
The sounds Of humanity are largely

the rain.
Tap, tap, tap on the roof.
On the downspout. somewhere, there
is another tap. at longer intervals, q drop
going astrAy.
Cutters and downspouts sometimes
have queer ways Of making themselves
heard in rains. Just an insistent, metal
lie "twang" now and then.
One hears the rush Of waters through
the leaves Of trees, entirely distinct from
the sound on the root, or in the cutters
and downspouts.
Every type Of roof has It's own music.
There are some who prefer the music OF
rain on a tin roof. They think Of Robert
Louis Stevenson's far home in Samoa,
which he had rooted with corrugated
metal. What a din and clatter storms
must have made on It!
The best music of rain is made in this
climate on q mild night when the rain
comes down slowly. but persistently.
1t comes in answer to the dryness OF
the garden. many will think.
The plants need 1t.
F%
"The need we have" as the novel says,
which means water in the garden.
A good way for the garden minded to
test out their acquaintances Is to wait
until some drizzly afternoon, and then
casually make the following remark to
them:
II hope it rains all night"
II those who hear the remark look as
II the world were coming to an end, be
quite sure they have no proper interest
in the home garden.
Theirs Is a world Of automobiles, bright
lights, supper clubs and the like.
Every one, more or less, makes his own
world
We live in one world and make another.
For ourselves we make other worlds, each
after its own pattern.
What your world is in sense is none
Of my business; what Is mine Is none OF
yours.
1t is fortunate that, In the main, men
are willing to let others enjoy their own
world, If only they do not talk too much
about 1t.
On a rainy night there Is no necessity
for talking, only for listening to this
good music which comes down out Of
the sky to us.
Why dream OF celestial music, Wnen
this one is very close to us, right at hand,
on days and nights deemed by many to
be nuisance days and nights?
Hug this music to the soul, quietly.
listening carefully, so as not to miss
note.
Each rain drop is note and song.
In rainy night symphonies there are
many players, many instruments. Trees
and leaves and roofs and water and air
and tile and metal and wood and con-
crete and innumerable other substances
and near-substances and forces and
media tangible and Intangible.
These are players and played alike.
This Is the music of rainy night. than
which, provided one has a good roof and
a love for the garden, there are few
more beautiful sounds in the world If
rain is natural in the yard, its echo ought
to be in ones heart and mind. This is
free entertainment for every one: you
don't even have to turn knob. Think
of that the next time, and stop your
grouching.
