Protests Dogs Loose on
The Streets i'm Summer
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

TO the Editor OF The Star:
These being "dog days" we are addi-
tionally reminded of the numbers of
dogs that run the streets without either
muzzles or tags.
Although dog owners value their pets
more than their neighbors' children,
they will go away for weekend trips,
leaving the CANNES in the yard or Gel
lar to howl and annoy their neighbors.
This is a punishable offense-although
the neighbors frequently do not know
it-aS it constitutes cruelty to animals,
and prompt complaint will occasionally
bring relief, although keeping neigh
Dor awake all night by letting your dog
bark is not any more unlawful than
letting the kids raise Cain in the streets
until midnight. The cure is to pack up
and move into an adjacent State or
keep your windows closed in hot weather,
according to the advice given me.
A new one is to recommend suing
policeman for shooting a dog which
threatened him. Dogs running loose
should be picked up or shot on sight. AS
untamed wolves which, with coyotes, are
becoming fashionable accessory of the
poor and some short-sighted persons,
cannot be picked up with safety, it is
safer to shoot first and investigate
later. A half trained police dog is sure
ly not safe on the street and is more
than a match for even an unarmed man,
and should be barred from the streets,
even on leash. A leash does not pre-
vent biting. w. E. ALLEN.

Funds for Park Driveways.

Two sllotments of funds by the Secre-
tary OF the Interior to the National
Park Service are announced, giving
assurance of the further development of
the George Washington Memorial Park
way on the Virginia shore and of the
correction of dangerous condition in
the connecting parkway between Rock
Creek and Potomac Parks. The larger
sum, 1000, is for the purpose of con-
structing an arch addition to the Key
Bridge to permit the extension of the
Memorial Parkway westward from the
Roosevelt Island area. The smaller,
$4,000, will be expended in the construc-
tion OF wider and more suitable cross
ing over Rock Greek west of the Taft
Bridge.
These are the first allotments of funds
from this source for needed improve
ments in the Capital area. They are
greatly appreciated. The Districts funds
are inadequate for such purposes.
Furthermore, they could not properly be
expended for improvements on the
farther side of the river, as in the case
of the Key Bridge arch that is required
to extend the memorial driveway.
The replacement Of the present narrow
bridge in the connecting parkway will

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRAcEWELL.

Just at the moment they are beginning
to get ready toastart the right way.
y r
The expert bestower of praise is rare.
He does ID with exactitude, with fair
ness, with suficient charity, but never
indiscriminately.
Thus his words always mean some
thing.
He does not wait for one to go z
thousand miles away, so that he may
say nice things about him to those left
behind.
He does not demand that the deed to
be praised, or the words to be praised,
be of the very highest order
He is charitable, he makes allowances,
he gives a little praise for little, and
great praise for great.
He is just so all-fired good that he is
just too good to be true-and that is
the fact.
He doesn't exist!
What next in order?
Next in order comes the fallible human
being who is fearful of saying the wrong
thing, or timid about prdiclRs Others but
who, nevertheless, recognizes that at
times it ought to be done, and who sum-

his hands and his words in his mouth
and resolutely does the job.
To him hats must be off.
He is just the great average person,
who believes in sending flowers to those
who appreciate them, and giving kind
words to those who deserve them and
will value them for themselves.
This is easy, in some respects, so easy
that too often it is totally overlooked.
The reluctance which keeps so many
from achieving this good deed is a
natural thing, a rebound from the over
doing of past eras. times when bombast
played great hand, and valueless words
were part Of life.
High pressure some called it.
Fortunately, times have changed, and
it is easier nowadays to praise another
human face to face than ever before.
We should all seize the opportunity, for
it may not come this way again.
Surely there is some one whose work
you admire Tell him sol If he is your
employe. that is all the more reason.
Why waste opportunity by telling 9TH
ers about him?
If ne is just friend, and you like his
work, tell him So
1t will give him that old inward glow
which is the sole reward of so many in
this curious world. But he who has
this glow, has a reward unknown to
many.
Some abuse may arise? Undoubtedly.
What is there of which some advantage
Is not taken? But, in the main, the re-
action is marvelously good. and almost
any one can prove it to himself with
no more difficulty than an honest word
of praise to some one he knows actually
deserves it.
Pat man on the back, if you want
to see him look the world in the eye.
Skulkers and mopers turn right about,
at the magic Of praise. and become sturdy
upright citizens at last. Labor questions
wouldn't exist, if all men were made
proud of themselves.

Such salvos Of praise Of people as we
have heard recently; but the queer thing
was that in each case it was about some
one far away.
1t is curious how important" and
"f1ne" and really wonderful" the absent
fellow is; how great his work. But these
Endorsements are always in absentium
and seldom, II ever, to him face to face.
In each case we felt like saying: why
don't you tell him what a WOW he is,
when he gets back?"
One knows why, of course. 1t Just
doesn't seem to be human nature, eSpe-
cially Anglo-Saxon human nature.
II you wish to go on about another,
especially of your own sex, you do 1t to
third party and feel sure that he will
retail the information in time.
BY that time, however, much of the
glow has gone out of the enthusiastic
original encomiums. 1t is second hand,
at best, and seldom gets the reception it
deserves.
why tell me what great chap he is?
Why not wait and tell him?"
A little open praise, to the person him.
self. is a good recommendation.
1t is good thing to give people hearty
greetings, If you say hello" or good
morning" at ALL
1t Is excellent to have a ready smile
for all, not just for the head of the works.
1t is good to try to find the good side
Of people. rather than merely concentrate
on the obvious bad Sides
In addition, let us add, 1t is super
excellent to develop the habit of praise.
So many people seem afraid that the
victim will "hit EN- for dime" or some
thing.
Actually, in most cases, the recipient
of praise would be SO f1abbergasted that
he would have nothing to say.
He would merely glow inwardly.
This inner glow is the real satisfaction
of life, and an average man of ordinarily
work day world, if he is given the oppor-
tunity.
So many times he is not given the op-
portunity, hence there arises the sad
spectacle. so common in these United
States, OF the disgruntled worker.
This inner glow OF which we speak is
solely that Of achievement
No doubt the man in war who achieves
his objective feels it, but we speak not of
that here. but solely of the daily civilian
life.
Praise and advancement are the main
ingredients Of this everyday progress.
He who holds back a deserving mans
advancement. in any one Of many differ
ent ways, cuts him to the quick more sure
than with knife.
He who withholds praise, equally, is
dealing blow at morale.
Advancement is matter of business,
but praise is everybody's meat
You can praise another, after one look,
II you want to.
1t is that easy.
Many good people positively work hard
to resist their kindly impulses
Back in their minds and hearts some
thing always pulls them the wrong way.

James SmithsOn
Dreamed a Dream

To the Editor Of The Star:
A hundred years ago James Smithson,
an Englishman, dreamed a dream. His
country had just concluded an unsuc-
cessful war with what had been, formerly,
his country's colonies. Both countries
were English-speaking and must be
made neighbors again. What could he
DO to assist In bringing this friendship
into existence again? Descended from
noble and ruling forbears, he felt it
incumbent upon himself to do some
thing. He thought 1t over.
AT last he had it! He would set I'D
an institution in the New World that,
for years to come, would be the first
word In scientific research. 1t would
spread the knowledge gained from this
research everywhere, and, in SO doing
help to cement the friendship of England
and the United States. Incidentally, 1t
would also perpetuate his name.
And SO. 80 years ago, the Smithsonian
Institution was founded, "for the in
crease and diffusion of knowledge among
men," 1t is the dream of a man come
true.
For many years men connected with
thls institution have dreamed, both here
and in all parts of the earth. Some of
their dreams have helped to revolutionize
the world. both in its manner of doing
thlngs and in its manner of thinking.
The things they have done are indicated
by the devices and writings left by them
10 the institution. And the dreams of
otner men, not connected with the in
stitution, are collected here, thousands
OF them. Working models and the orig
inals show how the dreams of men are
being worked out for "the increase and
olnusion OF knowledge among men"
AND here are the dreams of men who
classify and arrange the work of others
dreams of the history of the earth, of
the planets, of the stars, of the whole
cosmos. The largest and the smallest
are shown side by side: The dinosaur
and the flea; the largest tree and the
smallest algae; the macrocosm and the
microcosm.
AND still men dream on here, Day
after day they are working out their
creams and making them come true. Far
into the past, far into the future, they
peer. What they see in their dreams
they tell us sometimes, and then we,
too, dream.
James Smithson dreamed. Within
MS dreams the scientists of the Smith
Sonlan dreamed and are dreaming. And
within their dreams, we, too, are per-
mitted to dream!

criminals, it should first be necessary
to make criminal cases against those cit
liens in order to compel them to do
their obvious duty"
These declarations reveal a veritable
state of terror. The business men who
are victims of the rackets do not dare
to report their losses and aid in the
prosecution of cases. Witnesses to acts
of violence and extortion do not dare to
testify. The gangs have the city by
the throat. Prosecutions are impeded
by underground political connections
and influences.

came rampant and law was veritably nil
The victims of the gangsters-then allied
only by common disregard for the
rights of others-were terrorized into
subsection. The remedy for this con-
dition was the organization of volunteer
bands of "vigilantes," each community
creating its own posse of pursuers, cap
turerS, judges and executionerS. Eventu-
ally semblance of law and order was
established.
Now New York is asked to go as far
as modern and supposedly civilized con-
ditions permit in setting up Vigilance
Committee. But only for the purpose
of awakening the civic consciences of
the business community to the extent
of encouraging its members to bring
their grievances to the courts and seek
ing justice by fearless presentation of
evidence.

Effects of the Drought.

In addition to indicating the fearful
toll of the drought in the grain -produc-
ing States, the August estimate of this
years grain crops emphasizes once again
the difficulties in artificial control of
crops through planned reduction or in
crease of acreage and artificial control
OF the purchasing power of the dollar,
two of the objectives of administration
policies. Since the crop estimate of July,
there has been an estimated reduction
of 8O5000,000 bushels of corn, bringing
the estimated crop to about 1,439, ,135 900
bushels, as compared with the five-year
average of 2,553,424OOO bushels; indi-
eating the smallest crop of corn since
1881, fifty-five years ago.
Along with the reduced corn crop, the
drought has pared the wheat crop to a
point where it will barely meet do
plestic needs and has greatly reduced
supplies of fruit and vegetables. The
short corn crop means that live stock
must be slaughtered ahead of time
because of inadequate feed. All of these
elements, while not threatening any
actual shortage of food in the United
States, forecast increased prices for some
agricultural commodities. At the same
time, a larger cotton crop has already
sent cotton prices into a decline.
Not SO many years ago a short corn
crop, comparable to the one forecast
for this year, would have carried with
it the threat of actual famine and
starvation. This years corn crop is
belSy compared with the corn crop of
Nfty-five years ago. when the population
OF the United States was less than half
OF what it is today. But with q benefi-
cent Government taking action to pre-
vent suffering among the farmers in the
drought-stricken States, conceiving the
drought as in the nature of National
disaster and rushing food clothing and
money into the area Immediately af-
fected. and with plenty of food available
from other sources. there is no hint of
anything approaching the conditions of
famine. If prices for some food rise,
there will still be plenty Of food.
Reduction of the corn crop is signifi-
cant chiefly because of its effect on live
stock, principally hogs. There will be
new Government purchases of live stock,
as in 1884; there will probably be ship
ment of live stock to less affected por-
tions of the country, and there will be
slaughter of live stock ahead of sched-
ule to conserve feed. But unless the
continued absence of rainfall this month
and next produces even greater feed
crop reductions, the live stock situation
as it should not be as severe as in 1884.
Feed grains are still five per cent ahead
of this time in 1884, with live stock and
poultry counted at about five per
cent less.
