A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
In Retrospect.

Beloved, the sun has descended
And twilight falls over the town:
The light and the shadow are blended
Like a beautiful, shimmering gown
You wore in a long-ag twilight
To dance where knew you would be
OF all the fair women the high light
And yet you belonged to me!
Tonight as sit all alone here
see you again in that gown.
AS you danced TO my arms how 1t shone,
dear,
In the soft aftermath of shutdown!
In memory's thralldom follow
Your dancing, so litheson1e and free-p
But your flight was the fight Of the
win Spring bring you back to me?

Regret Loss of Services of
PEOPLES Counsel Roberts
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
BY losing the services Of william A.
Roberts as Peoples counsel Washington
citizens will be deprived Of splendid
representive who has acted in behalf of
our incessant civic problems, applying hts
energy to satisfy the greater mass of
people. He Is q strong, intelligent
thinker with forceful eagerness to serve
the public interest and at the same time
keep abreast of the increasing problems
which confront rapidly growing city.
His work with the Public Utility Com
mission and accomplishments, far as he
has been able to 60, with complicated
traffic problems, has proven his keen
vision.
1t Is regrettable to release one of his
ability and wisdom of experience. but at
least Washingonians have reaped, con-
sciously or unconsciously, much benefit
from his faithful but only too short
service. M. M. BACHE.
To the Editor OF The Star:
sincerely regret the resignation Of
so courageous public crusader as is
William A. Roberts. AS peoples counsel
during the last two years, he per-
formed notable service for the public s
good, q service that will not be forgotten
by those who so humbly and SO timidly
followed his leads and now seek to carry
on his great public work. 1t is good to
know, however, that while he Is re-
linguishing the duties of peoples counsel
to return to private practice, he will con-
tinue his activities with the Federation
Of District Citizens Associations Which
shows that he is still leader, a coura-
geous public crusader who never says
die" even though his boots may no
longer hang from the saddle.

CARE OF THE EYES

Many persons become blind, or go
through life with impaired vision, because
of neglect of the most ordinary precau-
tions, according to DR.. Steelsmith of Iowa,
who gives some good advice in recent ar
ticle.
He declares that the putting of drop
or two of silver solution into the eyes of an
infant at birth is a most important matter,
as five or six different kinds of germs
which may cause partial or complete
blindness are liable to gain access to the
infants eyes at that time.
1t is also important to keep sharp or
pointed instruments, such as scissors, pen
ellis and dangerously shaped toys away
from very young children, and any foreign
body which happens to get into the eyes
should be given immediate attention. No
inflammation of the eyes, however slight,
should be neglected.
With respect to cross-eyes, Dr. Steel
smith advises that steps be taken to cor
rect this condition very early, and he de-
clares that child not more than year
old may be taught to wear glasses for
strengthening the squint, which will in
most cases effect permanent correction.
He warns against the use of ten-cent store
glasses or any glasses not prescribed after
expert examination of the eyes.
Reading in poor light or in bad
position strains the eyes unduly, while
glare is also harmful and should be avoid
ed as much as possible
Considering what handicap poor
eyesight places upon the individual, it is
really strange that the simple precautions
recommended by health authorities are so
frequently neglected.

MACHINES AND JOBS

How is your job affected by ma
chlnery? asks dispatch from Dayton,
Ohio, printed recently in the New York
Times. The answer, it suggests should be
based on the cold practical fact of what is
occurring.
From 1900 to 1880, says the dispatch,
when we had more new machinery than
at any time in our history, there was
gain of 2O,OOO,OOO new jobs.
During the last fifty years, the pop
ulation of the United States increased
about 200 per cent, while jobs have in
creased about 800 per cent. That does
not look as if we were going in the wrong
direction. One-seventh of everybody work
ing today is making some product un-
known fifty years ago. Eighteen of our
biggest industries have been created by
machinery and invention since 1880. One
out of every four persons today owes his
employment to one of these eighteen new
industries produced by invention and en-
cheering, says H. A. Toulmin, Jr., of the
ISOLATION.
This looks like pretty good result
from our twentieth century mechanical
tion
Occupations that have gone out of
vogue have lost 100000 jobs. The new
business created by invention have given
more than 2,250,0O0 jobs. The balance is
undoubtedly on the right side of the ledger
in favor of invention and engineering.

SHAFT TO AMUNDSEN

San Francisco has paid tribute to
great explorer by erecting tall granite
shaft in Golden Gate park in memory of
Roald Amundsen, who discovered the
South Pole in 1911.
Amundsen was a native of Norway,
where he was born in 1872, and became
sailor at 81. In addition to his discovery
of the South Pole, he also made two trips
to the North Pole, one in an airplane and
the other dirigible; he discovered the
north magnetic pole; was the first to make
the northwest passage from Europe to
Alaska, and was the third navigator to
make the northeast passage from the At
lantic to the Pacific.
In 1928, after Amundsen had an
nounced his retirement from active ex-
ploration, Mobiles expedition to the Arc
tic in dirigible met with disaster, Amund-
sen set out by air to rescue Mobile, but
persisted in the attempt
The San Francisco monument will
serve to remind coming generations of one
of the most intrepid adventures the world
has ever seen, whose contributions to
science were among the most notable that
have been derived from polar explora-
ton.

The Flies Of The Citizen

Controversial arguments which
have been going on for the past
few days over the proposed con-
tract to be awarded for the cons
truction of the bridges on the
highway to the mainland, were
brought to a close last night when
the county commissioners award
ed the contract for construction to
the c. A. P. Turner company of
Minneapolis, Mimi. On roll call
Commissioners Warren, Bervaldi,
Curry and Kirchheiner voted yes.
Mr.. Porter voted no, and made a
lengthy address as to why he
voted thus. Both of the proposals,
one by the Turner company and
the other by H. c. Gaffney were
read in full before the vote was
taken. According to the contract
Mr.. Turner will be required to
furnish a performance bond of
$2,00O,000 by November 80, and
must be ready at that time with
complete plans for the perform
ance of the work which will entail
an expenditure of approximately
$40, 100000.

passing judgment we should examine
first labor cost" rather than "wage
payments" Second we should con-
slider total costs" rather than merely
the labor costs"
This is still not enough. Let us
assume that we find total costs in the
manufacture of some product for
example cement, lower in the United
States than in Belgium We must not
take it for granted if it costs more
to manufacture cement in Belgium
and ship it here that Belgium cement
will not be imported. It may be
dumped" on our markets. In other
words. it may be sold here at less
than cost of manufacture and trans
portation. This dumping" may be
temporary or spasmodic. Or it may
be done regularly. The practice is
very common and AS yet we do not
know very much about meeting the
problems it raises.
Another way of defining dumping"
is to say that it occurs when goods
are sold at lower price in one mar
ket than in another. This is done on
very large scale all over the world
and is more and more common as the
years pass. Here. too, we have not
learned how to deal satisfactorily
with the issues it raises.
Such considerations do not take us
very far in deciding what to do about
protective tariffs 1t is difficult in
fact it is often quite impossible to
learn what costs of production are.
even in the United States. But if a
comparison is to be made between
costs here and abroad, then we must
investigate the costs in foreign coun-
tries also. This can be done only in
the most unsatisfactory manner. Costs
abroad are often even more difficult
to determine than costs at home and
besides. foreign producers do not
want to tell their business secrets.
especially to our Investigators.
Tariffs are not easy to impose or
to administer scientifically. We have
made no reference to whether they
are desirable or not. That is most
involved question. We ought not to
settle it. however. merely by noticing
low wage rates in some other coun-
try. Like many other matters. the
pertinent facts are not easy to ascer-
tain. And even when we can find
them, we still must decide what to
do with them.
