During his active career as a reporter
covering sixty-two years, thirty-nine
of which were spent in the service of
The Star, Alfred j. Clarke, who passed
away yesterday, witnessed the making
OF American history at the Capital He
was remarkable reporter, true to the
best traditions of that vitality important
branch of newspaper making. He be-
came a human reference book of men
and happenings, the more valuable in
his service because his field of duty
comprised the White House and the de-
partments within its immediate range.
To him went younger men for guidance
and information, and his remarkable
memory and his intimate knowledge of
men and events were at their service,
to their great advantage. Implicitly true
to every trust, he enjoyed the confidence
of all officials of the Government within
the scope Of his duties. 1t was charac-
teristic of his instinct as news man
that several years ago, shortly after his
retirement from active duty, he prepared
and deposited in The Star Office factual
statement Of his career, not in pride
of performance, but with recognition of
the need Of newspaper for materials
of authentic character for use upon the

More Inspectors and Not
More Codes Are Needed

To the Editor of The Star:
Several articles and one editorial have
appeared in The Star relative to the
shocking accident in an automatic ele-
vator at 7611 Georgia avenue. Last eve
ming another lengthy item appeared in
your paper, which stated that a COM
mittee had been appointed by Commits
sioner Dan L. Sultan to draft a model
elevator code. Another case of locking
the door after the horse is stolen.
Why have more codes or additions to
present codes when the District hasn't
inspectors in sufficient numbers to carry
out their present duties? The inspection
force of the District has been consis-
tently reduced for years, while the
amount of work has consistently in
creased. What more could you expect
from such conditions?
The Commissioners attention has been
repeatedly called to the fact that whereas
Washington has an ideal plumbing CODE
which, if enforced. would give the city a
much better health rate, the personnel
has been so reduced that it operates
about 80 per cent of what the public
expects.
Chicago learned its lesson several years
ago, when an epidemic of amoebic dysen-
terry, caused by faulty plumbing in two
hotels, resulted in over 100 deaths and
over 800 cases of sickness.
1t will be necessary for Washington tr
have similar experience before we
citizens may expect reasonable protec-
ton of our lives and health.

heard Of wheat, oats, barley, most of
the root vegetables, apples, peaches,
pears and other fruits. 1t had built up
some remarkable civilizations around
corn, just as the Old World had built
them up around wheat and barley
Immediately after the voyage of Co.
lumbus the exchange was very rapid
Within less than so years, for example
the cultivation of corn had spread as
far as China and SquaShes and pumpkins
were common articles on European
tables.
This fact, DR.. Merrill said, seems
effectively to dispose of the legendary
continents in the Atlantic and the Pa
cific, accessible to both Eastern and
Western Hemisphere. There would
almost necessarily, he holds, have been
some crossing over of cultivated plants
instead of the complete isolation which
is found.
The same condition. he pointed out,
was fo>end with respect to the domestic
animals. Only one-the dog-was COM
mon to the Old and New Worlds before
the fifteenth century. America has
nothing to correspond to horses, camelS,
cattle, sheep, swine. Europe and Asia
had nothing to correspond to the llama
and alpaca, the turkey. the guinea pig.
Each hemisphere had domeSticated all
its wild animals that were capable of
domestication. These had become cor
ner stones of their civilizations. None
have been domeSticated since. Numer-
GUS attempts to domesticate such crea-
lures as the bison and the moose have
met with Indifferent success at first
and finally ended in complete failure.

Washington Is Not Immune
From Ordination Racket
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
In the Liberty Magazine of April Is is
an article under the heading, You can
be bishop for $40" 1t seems that the
editor of Liberty. for $40, received three
certificates, making him an ordained
minister, a doctor of divinity and a
bishop, from the Spiritual Psychic
Science Church of California.
He declares in the article, May the
Rev. Fulton Oursler therefore suggest,
as ordained minister, doctor of divinity
and bishop at large of the United States
of America, and especially as private
citizen of the above mentioned country,
that the fake minister racket as prac-
ticed not only in California, but in other
States, has gone far enough?"
The States have nothing on the Dis
trict of Columbia, as far as this religious
racket is concerned, for here ordination
is sold at bargain prices. In recent years
SpiritualistS churches have sprung up
over night and started diploma mills,
wherein any one for the consideration of
SIS, $40 or $40 can be ordained. If this is
done within the law, then the law that
allows such practice is corrupt and
should be repealed.
Those of us who have worked years in
preparing ourselves for ordination, APP
plying with all the strict rules and regu-
lations of the National Spiritualist AS
ISOLATION. are disguised with the situa-
ton here and throughout the country
and hope that publicity of this deplor-
able condition will arouse the proper au-
thorities to remedy it.

No Logic in Opposition to
Use of Parking Meters

To the Editor OF The Star:
In The Star of April 10 is an article in
which the Advisory Board of the District
of Columbia Motor Club object to park
ing meters. I think this is good plan.
and is about the only one that will make
the parking hogs observe and obey the
signs prohibiting parking more than one
hour or whatever it may be- If this club
knows some other plan that will be ef-
fective let them submit it.
If the law was enforced there would be
no dearth of parking space for those of
us who wish to park one hour or less,
often for only five or ten minutes. But
how to enforce it is the rub. One sug-
gestion is that a fine of $40 be planked
on the overtime parkers. This would
soon break up the practice or supply
enough money to cover the cost of en-
forcement. Another is to make it in
cumbent on the parker to display on his
windshield or other conspicuous place a
conspicuous sign stating the time he
parked. This would be abused, of course,
but if the penalty for misstatement was
high enough it would soon discourage the
two, three and over-hour parkers.

1t cannot be done, except in rare
instances.
See yonder old fellow. tremendously in
love with the wild birds.
Many think he took this w after he
came to these palatial acres.
Nothing of the sort!
He loved the birds since childhood
All during his days of intense activity
in politics he kept that liking intact.
Though few knew it, he went from
back room conference to woods, in order
to free his brain, remove the cobwebs
of heavy cigars, keep alive his love for
something else.
No doubt when he seemed to be Specu-
lating solely upon some weighty Gov
eminent problem he was thinking secret
ly about the next migrating bird TO wing
down to his shrubs.
Now he stands, the birdlover, and few
but the birds do him the honor of real
izing that he has put years of his life
into the study.
1t Is so with every phase of that
great show of Nature, the farm.
Whether large or small, whether of
the traditional $50 acres or the modest
six of the average little place, farm
is not just so much wheat, or tobacco,
or barns or fences or hogs.
1t is, above all, so much Nature.
And this Nature is not quiescent, but
obtruding.
We hate to think of typical city man.
used to city noises, spending his first
nights in the deep country.
Oh, those frogsi
Oh, those crickets!
Oh, everything!
If he lived near woods, the wild
symphony of the birds at dawn would
distress him beyond measure.
Wouldn't he get used to it?
He would, of course. Man gets used to
anything.
The point is simply this:
How much better it will be for that
man, if he builds up genuine liking
for these things before he goes
Then he will find old friends, instead
of daily and nightly nuisances.
He will greet the weeds with open
arms, seeing them not just as weeds,
inimical to certain farming operations,
but as plants in their own right, with
histories as long as that of the human
race itself.
His farm is his vast laboratory, studded
and gemmed with glittering f1acons and
tubes, holding the depths of Egypt in
their embrace.
He sees here If he is able. all that any
one ever saw. He hears notes which
sounded sweet on the ears of Antony and
Cleopatra, as their royal barge drifted
along the Nile.
The sullen affray of dogs on rabbits
the tremulous cry of the Spring pepper
in the night, the blooming of a little
neglected thing in the fence corner
These will be, to our man from the
city, as good acquaintance, neighbors,
friends. if he has made them so in the
days before, but scarcely otherwise.

passing of one to whose life story the
community would turn in interest when
the sad need arose. In his many years
of service, al" Clarke, as he was fondly
known by two, even three generations
of news men in Washington, held posi-
ton unique in this city of national and
international interests. Shy, modest and
undemonstrative, he nevertheless was
an inspiration to the younger men of
his craft and they now pay tribute to
him as he goes to his rest, after long,
honorable and valuable career of service,
in which he sought no fame and was
content with modest rewards. The Star
grieves at his passing even though he
had relinquished his responsibility for
its service in one of the most important
news fields of the Capital.

North Cardinals Status on
Relief Funds and Budget

To the Editor of The Star:
The special article recently appearing
In your paper lauding Gov. Ehringhaus
of North Carolina and particularly
praising his balancing of the budget" is
strangely reminiscent of the criticism of
Gov. Landon by Relief Administrator
Hopkins when attention was called to
the similar state of affairs in Kansas.
You will recall that Hopkins accused
Landon of performing this feat by fall
ing to contribute State funds toward re-
lief. It is difficult to understand in this
connection why your special article
failed to refer to statistics which ap-
peared in your publication not SO long
ago which, if I recall correctly, placed
South Carolina at the top OF the nSt
and North Carolina second in the roll
of States contributing the least toward
relief. believe the figures showed that
of all funds expended for that purpose
in North Carolina last year the state
contributed less than per cent and the
Federal Government over 80 per cent.
Your attention is also called to the fact
that the State levieS tax on gaSohne
of 6 cents per gallon. and there IS opera
tive, in addition, 3 per cent sales tax.
With all these funds available the State
was yet laggard last year in paying its
school teachers, and believe the figures
will show that the average pay OF these
school teachers did not exceed S72O per
annum.
1t is difficult, in light of these facts,
to see Just where the administration
merits such lavish praise. and equally
difficult to comprehend how writer OF
special articles can fail to avail himself
of figures of record.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES z. TRACEWELL.

Many city man has a dream of a
farm of his own, to which he will retire
and enjoy life in his old age.
But will he?
What right has man who may never
have given one thought to flowers and
trees, to the wild rabbits and other crea-
lures Of Nature, to believe he suddenly
will be interested In them at last?
Let all men, therefore. who contem-
plate it, start Immediately to study, in
a purely amateur way, those things
which will make up so much of the life
they propose to lead.
1t is doubtful if most men, even by
taking thought, can acquire liking for
these things all at once.
1t will do no good, later, to say to
ones self, II wish I had studied this a
long time ago."
1t is not so much the actual content
of this knowledge which is difficult of
attainment, but the necessary prelude,
genuine liking for it.
The man of affairs, especially, who
may have mild contempt, and some
times i'll concealed, for flowers and the
like, thinking the matter fit for women
only, this severe gentlemen needs to
realize that farming. even gentleman
farming, is not all play.
1t is more than work, too.
The small farm offers endless oppor-
tunity for the natu-e-loving soul to
make little entrance into those vast
secrets of time and space given into her
care in the beginning.
The woods were Gods first temples"
said the poet.
They are more.
Fields are more.
Meadows and streams are more.
All are repositories of ancient secrets
so mingled with the life of man that to
the knowing eye and mind and ear they
offer treasures of interest in the daily
life.
Even the old style farmer, with chin
whiskers. is not lost to the beauty around
him. Although he may say nothing
about it, his life long, he is like the
old fellow in Call Home the Heart, "
who kept his love of loneliness to him.
self, lest he be ashamed before his
fellows.
Where will a more bored man be
found, than the former city man who,
never once having manifested any in
terest in all these things, suddenly finds
them his neighborS?
He will begin to like them, then?
That would remind one very much of
the directions supposed to be contained
in an old French play 1.r the use of
the miSer.
The miser. according to the stage
directions, was much in the position of
our friend, the city man whose nostalgia
leads him on.
The directions read:
Leans against post and grows gen.
erous"
So our city friend, surveying his vast
acres at last, is supposed to lean against
a fence rail and grow interested!

Parking Meters Would Be
OF Benefit to Everybody
TO the Editor of The Star:

TO the Editor of The Star:
In regard to the opposition to the
parking meters, and it is queer that
something that gives all motorists the
same chance should find any objection.
From my point of view the installation
of these signals presents the following
advantages:
Everybody who has a car and wants
to park after am. can do it for a nomi-
nal sum much easier than he can do it
today, because the time for each park
ing period is limited, and while it can
be renewed with another payment, the
fact that the automobilist must return
to drop coin, may also influence him on
the length of his stay and make him
move on.
The city can obtain additional revenue
and use it for any purpose, even con-
nected with streets, as keeping them
more clean or build garages in which
officeholders or other employees may park
their cars for the day at a small price
and leave streets more free for the oc-
casional and shorter stop of motorist
who may want to transact business.
The parking meters cannot detract
from the beauty of the city as they are
made attractive enough, and once the
motorists and the population in general
get used to them they will pay no more
attention to them than to the various
peanut and gum machines dotting and
ornamenting this city.
Finally, policemen assigned to this duty
will be able to cover more ground, and
it will be easier to ascertain that motor
lists over stay as the lifting of the flags
on the meters will be the tcil-tale, and
an additional economy can thus be de-
rived by decreasing the number of men
assigned to this particular duty.
This will really make more efficient
the parking restrictions and call for a
real respect of the laws which, as far as
the mo parking" signs are concerned, are
completely disregarded
