German Unemployment Cut

BERLIN, Germany-Unemploy-
ment in Germany decreased by
$1,000 during June, according to
official figures issued today.
The number of unemployed now
stands at 1,315,OO0. June has gen.
orally shown a tendency toward in
creasing rather than decreasing
unemployment, so the present re-
port is regarded here as specially
favorable.

Abraham Lincoln. Further, Mr.. Mitchell
said, there Is absolutely no truth in the
statement that Abraham Lincoln was
elected to free the Negro slaves" and
that the colored people have now found
that out. He quoted from the platform
on which Lincoln was elected and from
Lincoln's own inaugural address to prove
his point. However, it probably will be
admitted by Mr.. Mitchell that Abraham
Lincoln did free the slaves, and that
Lincoln declared before he was elected
President that the Nation could not con-
tinue to exist half free and half slave" !"
The speech by Mr.. Mitchell, in which
he predicted a mass movement by the
colored voters from the Republican to
the Democratic party, was accorded an
ovation by the Democratic members Of
the House. They rose and cheered him,
Northern and Southern Democrat alike.
1t was an amazing spectacle, in a way.
1t may be the forerunner of political
changes of considerable importance.
The colored voter, as the white voter,
should be concerned primarily with good
government, with efficient government
and with justice toward all. If, how
ever, the voters generally are to be bribed
by Government checks and Government
relief, the outlook for the country is not
bright.

Inspection Service Efficient
To Appropriation Limit
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor OF The star:
In his letter to The Star on April q
Mr. Joe High pointedly called our at
tention to the cause Of inadequate build
ing inspection in the District. He stated
correctly that it wasn't because of a
dearth in building laws and regulations,
but due to a shortage of inspectors.
Col. John w. Oehmann, our competent
and efficient building inspector, is per-
forming short of miracle in his effort
inspection in the face of tremendous
odds. His force was greatly curtailed
q few years ago when building con-
struction fell of, and now when building
has increased. he must do the best he
can with small inspection personnel
Every citizen should know that his
health, even the safety of his life, de-
pends upon proper inspection of build
ings.
It is not an exaggeration to say that
the appropriation for the building in
Spectional force Is less than one-half
of what it should be. There is definite
relation between the cost of adequate
inspection and the cost of construction.
Since every permit to build issued by
Col. Oehmann stipulates the cost of the
project, it is very simple matter to
verify the relation between the cost of
work IN progress and the sum allotted for
inspecting the same work. This will
spection the force and allotment of
money for inspection should be at least
doubled. ISAAC TEPPER.

Transformation of Parks
Should Not Be Allowed
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Kindly grant me space in your valuable
paper to express and stress my utmost
opposition and objection to the plan
suggested, proposed and advocated by
some few people Of transforming the
use of our many beautiful parks and
triangles into housing and parking
spaces for automobiles and other uses,
thus robbing and depriving many un-
dernourished, underprivileged and un.
fortunates, who seek to reap and enjoy
the charms, pleasures, comforts and
other accommodations and benefits de-
rived through the use Of the said parks
and triangles, along with the open air
space and many other attractions.
These many parks and triangles with
the seats and benches scattered around
at various points are quite an induce
ment to many seeking rest, health,
comfort and other benefits, along with
the beautiful scenery and splendor, and
are enjoyed by all who partake Of
same. In my opinion Congress and the
District officials who have jurisdiction
over these beautiful parks and triangles
should strenuously oppose any move
that would eliminate their use for any
other than. pleasure and recreational
sports and 1rposes. HENRY r. ASH.

''Tobacco Road'' Evolves
From Darlington Dispute
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Senator Millard E. Tydings, when he
acquired that manorial estate at Oak
ington, Md, bought himself a peck of
trouble. A proper estate needs proper
road, and so the access to the Senator's
abode is being put in shape as project
3Sl P. w. A. In short, at public expense
Two determined and very prominent
citizens Of that locality can't see it.
They declare the road to be a private
road, same to be beautified out of the
Senator's own private pocket. They
fortify their case with picture Of the
roads entrance into the TydingS prop
erty. A sign reads: Darlington. Private
property. Do not enter.
There has been a lot of writing of
letters by all the litigants to the county
commissioners, the county press and
the Baltimore Sun.
In their latest letter the two kickers
bring in President Roosevelt, and it is
possible that he may be served with
subpoena to qualify as an expert. They
quote his message on P. w. A. when he
says in substance: This is holy cause.
solemn covenant between me and my
people. No grating. Let every good
citizen be on the lookout for chiselers
and SKullduggerS and report same promp-
tly to me-" In short. they charge the
major with unethical practices. They
threaten him with the chief Of police.
In communication to the Hartford
Democrat (Aberdeen) that fills about
page. the Senator hits back good and
plenty. He digs deeply into ancient Har-
ford County history and tells us all about
cowpaths, chickenruns. dirt roads and
farm lanes. He reaches the conclusion
satisfactory at least to him) that the
Tydings Highway is, has been and should
be pro bono publico-sign or no sign.
The discussion is growing a little
feverish. So far no one has been called
liar, but some statements have been
branded as absolutely false" The Sem
ator also accuses one of the two tough
guys of having untold hidden wealth
and of beating the tax collector" clean
around the bush. And so the matter
stands for the present. It's all very COM
plicated.
The affair is providing the neighbor-
hood with much amusement, and the
road is being referred to as Tobacco
Road" because it has been so much
"chewed over" FRED VETTER.

but remain there after the tide has
receded. Some of them are found as
far up on the beach as the average high
water mark. The time during which
their habitat is covered with ocean water
is very much shorter than the interval
during which it Is left uncovered. Yet,
says DR.. Wilson, the minute creatures
apparently suffer no i'll effects, even
when the dry sand is heated to a high
temperature by the sun. It is another
remarkable instance of the invasion of
the land by marine organiSms-such as
many believe must have marked the
beginning of life outside the water.
These copepods-there are probably
hundreds of species of them-appear to
have invaded the loose sand in search
of their principle food, diatoms. In the
interstices between the sand grains they
can browse without any danger Of inter
ference. It is necessary only that the
sand be Of such nature that its grains
are not easily compressed. This condi-
ton is met by the sands of the New
England beaches, composed largely of
quartz particles.
The sand-dwelling oopepods, DR..
Wilson finds, are generally smaller and
more uniform in size than the free
swimmers or those that live as parasites
on sea animals. They have become
slender and more flexible. Because of
their restricted movements many species
which are strictly localized have de-
veloped. Their bodies have become
adapted for crawling rather than SWIM
ming.
This class Of animals was first dis
covered few years ago by the late DR..
N. A. Cobb, Department Of Agriculture
specialist, and DR.. Wilson has continued
the work.
The copepod race, DR.. Wilson points
out, has some curious distribution freaks.
Some species have been found in the
damp moss Of the Black Forest in Ger
many, far from any body of water.
Others are parasites on land crabs, which
enter the water only once a year. Still
others are found only in the rain water
which gathers In the cups Of certain
plants which grow on the limbs Of trop-
ical trees. These, however, are isolated
species. Here is very large group.

Shooting Stars.

Of the Key.

Of the Key.
There was a man of earthly mood
Who chilled enthusiastic glee
BY asking questions rather rude,
All practical, but off the key.
We warbled of the blossoms bright
That love the sunshine and the shower
Said he, THE roses are all right,
But how about the caulifower?"
OF the melodious birds of Spring
We caroled lightly now and then
Till he inquired, why don't you sing
About a rooster or a hen?"
Unto picture he drew near.
He almost made the artist faint.
He said, "Twould take you long, fear
To give house coat OF paint"
Thou man of practical design!
In wisdom's way your footsteps run!
And yet, o honored friend of mine,
You surely miss lot of fun!

The Negro Voters.

The Democratic party has become the
party of the Negro, Representative
Arthur w. Mitchell, the first Negro DEM
ocratic member of the House, declared
in his first address to that body, re-
Gently delivered. The colored voters, he
said, have turned their backs upon the
Republican party, which, he said, had
made the Negroes many promises but
has done nothing for them. The great
mass of the colored voters will, Mr..
Mitchell predicted, flock to the standard
of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in
November.
Mr.. Mitchell may be correct in his
estimate of what the men and women
of his race will do next November, al
though his statement was partisan.
The Roosevelt administration has put
millions of them on the relief rolls. It
has recognized them in appointments to
public office. And there seems reason to
believe that the Democratic party con-
f1dently expects the colored voters to
vote the party ticket in some of the
great States of the North and the Middle
West. In some of these States the Negro
population has grown to an extent that
it may well hold the balance of power in
an election. 80
Where is it these colored people will
vote next November? It is in States
that have normally been Republican
ever since the Civil WARM New York,
Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana,
for example. Their votes will be few
and far between in the Democratic
"solid South" And yet the great bulk
Of the Negro population Of the country
is to be found In these Southern States.
The Negro still is knocking at the door
for the right Of franchise there.
According to Mr.. Mitchell the Negro
has weighed the Republican party in the
balance and found it wanting. He turns,
therefore, to the party of Franklin D..
Roosevelt andAaway from the party Of

A Little Common Sense.

Japan got tired of the constant toot-
ing of automobile horns-electric horns
and the automobile owner there is
required to diSconnect the electric horn
and to substitute one of the old-fash-
ioned horns operated by squeezing a
rubber bulb. The change in the
cacophony of the city is marked prin-
cipally by an obbligato Of staccato honks
In place of the angry barks and dismal
walls associated with American traffic.
But as far as ragged nerves are con-
cerned, one sort of noise is about as bad
Is the other.
In Rome Mussolini has dealt with the
noise nuisance characteristically, merely
stating that people must not blow their
automobile horns. So they have stopped
y almost entirely. andA ride in Roman

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL.

Revival Of archery in recent years has
been q wholesome thing.
Use Of the bow and arrow results in
erect posture, head high, chest up and
out; it is splendid exercise for the chest
it makes for increased breathing and
circulation.
"The Witchery Of Archery" Maurice
Thompson called it in his book by that
name published in 1878.
The witchery is still there, as 1t al.
ways has been for English speaking
peoples, whose race tradition tells Of the
mightiest bowmen of all history.
Il would class archery as the most
glamorous Of the sports" writes w. o. r
Mention archery and we are apt to
associate 1t and the American Indians
However, 1t is an English sport, and fol
period of over 500 years England main-
tanned her military supremacy by the
bow and arrow. 1t was in England that
archery attained its highest development
as military arm"
Continuing, he says:
''The feats credited to Robin Hood and
Little John are far from impossible
When the law of the land compelled
every one to practice archery, and the
best was required of the bowyer and
fletcher as well as the archer, it was not
surprising that many should develop un-
canny accuracy.
1T is doubtful If any nation has become
SO universally skilled in any endeavor
as the English were in archery, unless
we as nation are becoming pretty skill
ful in automobile driving.
"The Potomac ArcherS, who are hold
ing the tournament Sunday at the arch
cry green's, alongside the Rejecting Pool,
were originally formed in 1879 by group
at the Patent Office after Maurice and
Will Thompson had written so entertain
ingly about archery in Harper's and the
Atlantic Monthly.
Shortly after 1912 the clubs activity
died out. In 1926 1t was revived by a
group in the Department of Agriculture,
and we have kept it going and slowly
increasing ever since"
James Maurice Thompson settled down
in Charlottesville, Ind, one Of the most
charming small towns in the world. He
was one of the group of Indiana writers
whose work resulted in putting that State
definitely on the literary map.
We made the acquaintance Of seven
of his books while attending Wabash
College, from 1910 to 1918. AS youngster
we had read "Alice Of Old Vincennes, "
published In 1900. 1t is still very much
worth reading.
Reclining beneath tree in Crawford S
meadows. near small stream to which
the COWS came regularly, we read Maurice
Thompson's Poems" These had first
been published in 1892 Others of his
books are "By-Ways and Bird Notes, ~
1885; Sylvan Secrets" 1887, and MY
Winter Garden" 1900.
This man had fine flair for words.
There is great satisfaction to be gained
by any one in perusing him, for he knew
what he wanted to say, and he said it.
That, after all. is writing.
1t is needless to say, then, that his
''The Witchery Of Archery" has remained
the inspiration and veritable bible of
those moderns who have gone back to
this old sport. It Is a diversion for all
ages. Women in particular have found
it splendid training for natural carriage.
