which would be seriously affected by the
unavoidable nuisance Of an abattoir.
From, the earliest days Of District de-
velopment the principle has been main-
tanned that large commercial Develop
ment, rather than that required for
local maintenance, is undesirable. Wash
ington has been preserved as q non-in-
dustrial community. It has suffered
somewhat economically in consequence,
but the general result has been the evo-
luton of q strictly residential community,
with only such business as Is essential
to the immediate supply Of the local
needs. This principle has been strictly
maintained. In pursuance OF 1t numer-
Gus enterprises that would give employ
ment to large numbers of people have
been excluded. But the Capital has en-
joyed an immunity from Disagreement
and nuisance as a result.
The matter is to be called to the
attention Of the President, who is ex-
officio the head Of the District govern
ment. Meanwhile, the issuance of IL
cense has been delayed. 1t can hardly
be doubted that upon a full study of
the matter the invasion of the Capital
area by an enterprise that would cause
a grave public nuisance, affecting the
comfort and welfare of virtually the
entire population Of the District. will be
prevented.

Spectacular Performances
Do Not End Work of C.Meu

From the Topeka Daily Capital.
Since the kidnap racket has been
stamped out by the G-men and the
worst of the interstate gangs have been
broken up, the work of this branch of
law enforcement has been less spectacu-
lar, but is continuing in Importance Just
the same. While there is less glamour
in running down minor criminals the
fact that the G-men are on the trail
has sent shivers up and down the spines
of the lesser racketeers and they are
taking to cover like scared rabbits.
Still another important achievement
of the anti-crime agency developed by
J. Edgar Hoover is the establishment
of the National Police Academy. Re-
Gently 81 men selected from local, county
and State police forces completed the
Federal Bureau Of Investigation course
of instruction. These key men have
gone back to their home forces and are
instructing their fellow ofiicers In the
science of detecting criminals. In this
way modern methods will be carried to
more than $1,000 law enforcement
officers.
A significant item in the result of
Ohm scientific crime detecting knowledge

The AbattOir Permit.

Intervention of the chairman of the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission and the Secretary of the
Interior in the matter of the issuance of
permit for the erection of q large
abattoir in the eastern section of the

the matter to allow time for q more

there is no place in the District for such

And they need not, II the famous prac-
tice, called growing mellow In his old
age" Is carefully carried into effect.
What Is the matter with Temp
Jones?" some one asks. He is getting
to be q glad-hander."
Nothing Of the sort.
Jones is simply growing mellower as
he grows older.
He is giving verbal flowers to his
fellows, spurred on by the sad fate of o
friend of his, who passed out of the
human picture some months ago, leay-
ing not q trace behind.
Having never done anything for any
one, nor ever said kind word to an
other, this person has had no one re-
member him at all.
His name is never mentioned, among
those who knew him.
He is, alas, forgotten.
Temp Jones, ordinary mortal, wants to
avoid that fate, If he can.
When he checks out, he wants to be
remembered for few years, at least.
Poor old Temp" he hopes some one
will say, at least now and then.
He thought-and he was right-that
one way to achieve this end is to say
kind things to others. to applaud them
for what they do when approval is due.
He sought to put on little personal
parades of victory, not so much for the
forgotten men, but for the men who have,
alas, never even been remembered once,
let alone forgotten afterward.
He blew. in quiet way, shrill blasts
nf nj OF fOr ha ha
cogs in the manifold wheeD Of the
every day life
The fact that some could say. why,
Jones Is getting TO be glad-hander,'
made no difference with him.
He smiled the words away. He had
plenty of words OF his own, words of
good will for others, which, in a clumsy,
bashful way, he was trying TO spread
over his small personal world.
Often he faltered.
He found. as many another man has
found In the great mellowing process,
that to wish to say kind things. and
actually to say them, are two far differ
ent things
Something in the mind and heart holds
them back. when all the time they are
trembling for expression.
Slap 'em on the back, glad-hand 'em,
II necessary. but don't sit In a crusty
silence. while the great parade of life
is going by.
Only the chosen few will receive the
loud and long applause, the welcome of
the multitudes, but all may have, If
only we set our minds and hearts to it.
the little careless word of praise the
half-uttered word of welcome, the silent
tribute Of admiring eyes.
These little things are enough for
little folk. They are more than most
receive now. They are easily given, II
the royal giver in the everyday life is
determined to do it.
Grow mellow, folks. along with our
good friend Templeton Jones, whose
mind and heart We have attempted to
lay bare here for a few brief moments.
An essentially. reserved and timid gen.
tleman, he has all but closed up on us
already. Grow mellow folks, along with
Jones, before it is too late.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRAcEWELL.
Do you know what 1t was about that
ig welcome which thrilled Templeton

Do you know what 1t was about that
big welcome which thrilled Templeton
Jones?
1t was the fact that one man, at least,
was getting applauded, receiving what
all men ought to get
Jones thought Of the men who rate
no royal send-off, even in their own
families.
He thought of the millions who do
their work wells and seldom get re-
warded.
He thought of good deeds done and
nothing said about them by any one.
He thought Of self-sacrificing women,
the world over, who take care OF their
families, work hard and yet are put
down on all the lists as mo employ
ment."
But here was man getting great
hand"
Templeton Jones got q great kick out
of that.
The desire for applause is so uni
verSal that all can understand 1t. All
need it, but few receive it.
Some persons seek applause in any
manner at all, just In order to experience
the thrill Of the approval, even in silly
ways. of their fellow human beings.
Jones wondered why it is, in human
nature, that so much is taken for
granted.
If you do your work well, it is just
what is expected Of you. OF course.
But still in the heart lies a desire for
something else.
Something more-the manifest ap-
proval OF ones fellows.
We can send flowers to the living and
give kind words of approval to many who
miss them now.
Flowers are appreciated, but words
even more so. Words are things. as some
one has said. very tangible things.
Words can thrill, words can cut.
Words possess the power to make UP
for much that Is overlooked.
We all know this, according to Temple
ton Jones, but the point Is that SO often
We fail to put into effect what we know
What source of strength, he thought,
that roaring approval of his fellow men
and women must have been to the chief
figure in the welcomed!
The same source Of power might be
open to most Of US, In lesser degree, II
We. too. received approval as we went
along.
1t is plainly up to those who have it in
their power to approve, to do what?
Why, to approve, OF course!
When, OF course, the approval Is due
1t is just as simple as that, but, like
too many essentially simple things, too
often overlooked In practice.
Practice makes perfect
Well, there is some hope, then, for
most of us.
Templeton Jones thought that few men
would wend their way through roaring
crowds, shouting manifest approval.
That is something reserved for the
shining marks Of mankind, the great
popular heroes.
What Of all the Templeton Jones?
Must they all 60 through life, without
being applauded of their little multi
tudes?
Heaven forbid!

Nj. Jusserand Returns.

When President Roosevelt dedicates

to many Washingtonians that Jean Jules
Jusserand has come back to a COM

there was no bull dOzing, no shouting, no

was peaceful and serene, and once when
the crowds did get out Of line the Of
ficers took 1t good-naturedly and smiled.
They pleaded with the crowd to get back
into line. and, believe 1t or not, I actually
heard one officer say please" 1t was
intriguing to see what a magic effect that

smile; there was no evidence of grouchi-
ness or surliness. 1t was all as 1t should
be. And happily it seems that the good

and admiration on the part of our cit
liens and earn for our police force the

Trend Of Mind Of College

From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
Chancellor Chase of New York Uni

M. Jusserand was an authentic genius,
If ever there was one. He appears to
have been born for the work he was to
do. French to his finger tips, he never
theless was universal in his comprehen-
sion of the world and its values, human
and cultural. He possessed a passion for
civilization. The gentle and gracious
creations of human hearts and human
hands were joys to him. His mind,
scholarly and sympathetE, warmed to
every effort to enrich the environment Of
the race. History in all its aspects, large
and small, fascinated him-because it is
the chronicle Of human progress from
the jungle toward the stars. The arts
and the sciences, literature especially,
were precious to him-because they wit
ness to the growth of the human soul by
processes of brave endeavor, dedicated
labor confident hope and aspiration. No
nation ever had more competent am
bassador. He was an ideal envoy-a
statesman whose counters in the dip
lomatic game were imperishable ideals.
Americans honored themselves in ap-
preciating him.
And M. Jusserand surely must be happy
in returning to scene from which he
may be physically absent but from
which he never has been quite retired.

with Theodore Roosevelt. 1t is pleasant
to imagine that his friendly shade again

A good many Shawnee medicine men
claim to have paid visits to the house of

Passage over the last one is possible only
as the rythmically rising and falling sky

she looks down on her earthly children

On their return journey the visitors take

through the sky window in a basket
through a region between heaven and

Associated with the Our Grandmother
cult is a weird doomsday fear. Nowadays
the gigantic female deity spends most
of her time weaving an enormous basket.
She has a mischievous dog who every
night unravels the weaving Of the pre-
vious day, so the deity never has been
able to finish her basket. But some day.
now not far distant. she will finish her
weaving. Then all the virtuous on earth
will be gathered in the basket and trans
ported to heaven. The wicked-those
who have neglected the formalities de-
manded by Our Grandmother. will be
left on earth and destroyed. Those in
the basket will be used to populate a
new world.
The Shawnee land Of the dead, accord
ing to Mr.. Voegelin's report, is simply de-
scribed as the place where Our Grand
mother stays and resembles the earth in
every way. The souls of the virtuous
dead are segregated by tribes. An
especially pleasant place of constant
dancing and feasting is reserved for the
souls Of warrior men and women.
