TODAY,S YESTERDAYS

Feb. II, 18O2-Lydia Maria Childs
was born in Medford, Mass, destined
to be the most widely known woman
novelist the u. S. had before Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Stowe. Her first
novel was published when she was
20. and it. was followed by the first
book written on the subject of free
ing the slaves. But of all her works
only one survives today-the celebrat-
ed poem, Home to Thanksgiving,
which begins:
Over the river and through the wood,
To grandfather's house we will go;
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh
Through the white and drifted snow.
Feb. II, 1820-An even more famous
poem--one that is inscribed upon bat
tie monuments and cemeteries
throughout the world, was written by
Theodore O'Hara, who was born in
Kentucky on this date. He was u
when he wrote the funeral poem for
the burial Of Capt. Henry Clay, Jr.
which has become immortal. Majesti-
cally it begins: j.
The muffled drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo;
No more on life's parade shall meet
The brave and fallen few.
On Fame's eternal camping-ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And Glory guards, with solemn round,
The bivouac of the dead.

Far more important than victory itself
in the circumstances is the longing
which multitudes feel to make progress
toward comprehension Of cosmic reali-
ties. Centuries ago it was realized that
mundane experience Is but that OF a
training school. The doctrine Of prep
aration has been taught and learned and
taught again for ages. 1t has the merit
of modesty, If none other.
But especially today, after more than
two decades of the turmoil of war and
revolution, 1t is good to hear Of proof
that the idealism Of Copernicus and
Galileo, Kepler, Newton and the
Herschels is not dead. The Mount
Palomar astronomers are toiling in a Won
derful tradition. From them, their less
fortunate contemporaries may receive
inspiration to look for the ultimate
values in their own respective universes.
And therein lies certain reward. Poor,
weak and bewildered as the race may be,
it still has It's dreams; it still aspires.
That, then, is the significance OF the
slow transcontinental journey of the big
gest and the keenest "eye."

Little Vandals Cause
Street Pandemonium
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Recent experience and observation in
our own neighborhood reminds me of an
editorial in The Star about Vandalism" !"
manifested by some children in New
York a couple of years ago. 1t has
. been common thing for the past four
or five months on the part Of few
little mischievous children to place a
piece Of metal or concrete fragments
cunningly on the car tracks. calculated
to give terrible shaking to the cars,
and, worse still, to the adjacent houses.
The sufferers, motormen, passengers,
dwellers in those houses, all seem to say,
LET George do" the complaining. This
Is in keeping with the evident spirit Of
democracy, wherein all prefer to be on
the safe side, keep friends with all, even
with the criminal, II need be. lest speak
ing involve some loss of friendship or
business. Why, even the policeman is
apt to practice that same policy, close
one eye to the evildoer, let "the country
60 to the dogs" as they say, so long as
he is able to keep his job. No wonder
problems Of public interest are becoming
more and more complex and never being
solved! Take, for instance, the speeding
Of trucks. Up to this day, with all SEEM
ing sincere efforts to eradicate causes,
no one came out with statement Of the
fact that the reason why some truck
drivers will not listen to platitudes is be-
cause they are paid according to the
trips" they make, and they cannot afford
to go slower than they are actually
forced to. And so 1t is with the shaking
of our houses. Children will not stop
their vandalism unless they are made to
feel that they will be punished by law.
G. PHILIPS.

To the Sunset Hills

Something symbolic Of the spirit Of
the age is happening. From Corning,
New York, to the sunset hills of Cali
fornia, men are transporting wide disc
Of glass from which there will be made
the worlds largest "eye." Inch by inch,
mile by mile and with conscious ten
derness, they are moving the fragile
pane. And when they have safely de-
ivered it at the foot of Mount Palomar,
skilled masters of the science of celestial
optics will polish and perfect it. Then,
at last, it will be set In a telescope and
turned on ininity.
What secrets are reserved for it to
reveal, no individual can say. All that
may be hazarded with confidence Is a
reasonable hope. Providentially, those
who will operate the marvellous sky
gazing machine will behold the stars
beyond the stars. If success crowns their
efforts, magnificent photographs should
be- made-pictures of billions of suns,
trillions of moons. multiple millions Of
bodies like and unlike this Earth upon
which humanity curiously struggles to-
ward grander destiny.
The most nobly gifted philosopher who
ever has labored with the riddle of it
all must have been deeply aware of the
inadequacy of his effort. So vast .
problem cannot be solved by even the
grandest Of minds. Nor does 1t matter.

The MONAGHAN Method.

Doubtless the course OF the New Deal
would have been much smoother If at
the beginning of the legislative processes
inaugurating the series of extraordinary
laws setting up the organization of the
various measures of recovery and re-
demption some such provision had been
inserted in the statutes as that which
has just been proposed by Representative
Monaghan of Montana. He is interested
in the exemption of skilled, semiskilled
examinations in their efforts to obtain
employment at their trades under the
Government. In order to insure against
a possible judicial ruling against the
constitutionality of this measure, he
stipulates that no appeal shall be per-
mitted in any case in which the consti-
tutionality of the act is challenged, its
passage by Congress being deemed
conclusive presumption of its constitu-
tionality.' The measure further reads:
Any Federal judge who declares this
act unconstitutional is hereby declared
guilty of violating the constitutional re-
quirements of good behavior upon which
held by such decision ipso facto to have
vacated his office" In other words, ac-
cording to Representative Monaghans
proposal, an act of Congress shall be
established as constitutional and valid
from the moment it has been enacted
and signed by the President.
This is assuredly simple way of in
suring continuity of procedure in any
ordinary or extraordinary process OF
law. 1t does not specifically declare the
courts to be incapable of ruling against
the constitutionality of statutes. It
merely penalties any Judge who dares
to declare any act of Congress void on
the ground Of its conflict with conSti-
tutional principles
This proposition recalls to mind the
boarding house rule propounded by the
late Lew Dockstader, the beloved min
SIISl dllO tduOCN1lC Va oOAlC
years ago. That rule was: Fruit must
not be taken from the table; to prevent
fruit from being taken from the table
there shall be no fruit"
To prevent an adverse decision by
Federal court on the constitutionality of
an act of Congress, the Monaghan pre-
scription is simply that there shall be
no decision. For if judge should dare
transgress the statute by holding law
to be void he automatically removes
himself from the bench and presump-
lively his decision lapses with his tenure.
1t is perfectly simple prohibition.
Representative Monaghan has qualified
himself for the treatment of New Deal
difficulties by an extended experience at
the bar in Montana, covering all of five
years. Probably if he had been in Con-
gress when the first of the New Deal
measures were enacted, including the
N r. A., earliest victim of the Supreme
Court, the new dispensation would have
been much more securely established.

tioners, show definitely what is needed.
Then the President and the Congress
could act in accordance with the treat
ment prescribed.
That is sound enough procedure, pro-
vided the diagnosis is correct. The Presi-
dent would doubtless accede to request
similar to those made from time to time
by the States and direct the United
States Public Health Service to give
washington the benefits of its diagnos-
tic experience and skill.
But Ross Garrett, director Of the Gen.
tral Admitting Bureau for Hospitals.
suggested that the trouble with sick
Washington is "a matter of human be-
haviorism." BY whom? The patient,
Washington, or the family physician
constantly in attendance, Congress?
If the trouble is with Washington, the
advice of the Public Health Service will
be welcomed. The patient will be will
ing to do what is prescribed.
But if, when the prescription by the
consulting diagnostician is announced.
the old family doctor, Congress, pro-
ceeds to throw fits and tears into the
patient in murderous assault, the
trouble is assuredly due to certain quirks
of human behaviorism and the remedy
may not lie in any prescribed course of
treatment for the patient at all, but in
a different mental outlook by the old
family physician AS Washington cannot
change doctors, the change must come
from the doctor.

Diagnosing Washington.

The meeting on Thursday evening
called to discuss health needs for the
District produced at least two diagnoses
of what is ailing the Capital.
DR.. Prentiss Wilson, former president
of the District Medical Society. sug-
gested that Washington is suffering from
n1alnutrition. The remedy for this af-
Fiction would be more nourishment Of
the right kind in the form Of increased
appropriations for public health. In
line with such diagnosis, the meeting
adopted a motion to petition the Presi-
dent-not for the increased nourish-
ment-but for the services Of consulta-
tive diagnostician in the form Of the
United States Public Health Service. A
health survey by this ef1icient organiza-
tion would, in the opinion Of the petit
