WHAT KIND OF
REASONING IS THIS?

Action of the associations in
suspending Morgan college of
Baltimore for a year reminds me
of the school boy who in a theme
said the mar got on his horse and
galloped off in all directions. The
CIAA, you know, at the same time
crowned Morgan football cham
pions for 1885.
1t may be that / am crazy and
need to get friendly with a good
%alienist. If the college officials
who came to this decision are
sane, then l admit without furth-
err argument l am as nuts as a
boxer who thinks he can whip Joe
Louis.
Either Morgan is or Morgan
amt. If the Maryland college
is guilty of infractions of rules,
playing an ineligible star and lax
observance of statutes, this h S
obviously not transpired since the
end Of the football season. If the
school is guilty of that now, it was
guilty all during its grid contests.
and therefore its games must be
forfeited and it cannot be de-
clared champion.
Conversely, the official handling
of the pigskin crown to Morgan
logically means hat the school
has not violated conference regu-
lations. Therefore, how can it be
suspended?
In effect, the CIAA in one
breath declares Morgan is all
right and hands over the diadem.
But before those words can even
make echos the CIAA calls itself
a liar and says the opposite is
true by suspending the institution.
To the public it claims both state
ments are right-and keeps a
straight face about it!
Maybe my trouble is that |
never went in for Einsteinian
physics at college. | never got
past Euclid, who said two paral-
lei lines meet only in ~infinity. But
it seems likely the good CIAA
brothers would even make Elm
stein scratch his head. After all,
the great mathematician never
said anything about an empty full
bucket.
1t seems to me that the boys,
to be reasonable, should have
withheld the crown if they wanted
to suspend Morgan, or else if they
decreed she was champ to put her
on probation under strict surveil-
ance for a year during which she
would be forced to clean up or get
out. This, however, is logical, and
after all you evidently can't ex-
pect too much from mere college
executives.
The schoolboy who wrote those
famous words about that horse
must have been a prophet with
the 1895 meeting of the CIAA
in mind.

A Very Present Help.

The American Federation of Labors
reimbursement of national representation
for the District of Columbia means the
retention of a powerful force within
the ranks of those working to confer
upon American citizens living in the Dis
trict of Columbia the full rights of
American citizenship.
The unanimous action Of the fedora
tion at Tampa yesterday follows previous
similar action by that body on resolu-
tions favoring national representation
for the District. But yesterdays action
assumes added importance by reason of
the awakened interest throughout the
country in the unique condition Of the
voteless Americans of Washington. Sew
eral circumstances have contributed to
this new interest. The publicity given
the matter at the two political conven-
tions last Summer, coupled with the
action of the Democratic National Con-
vention in calling on Congress to give
special attention to District suffrage, I'M
doubtedly helped great deal. A grow
ing list Of national organizations has
gone on record in support of national
representation. The Presidents fiscal
relations investigation has centered at
tention on one Of the fundamentally
important aspects of that relationship

District of Columbia
The American Federation of Labor
long friend of national representation
may be expected to bring its influence
to bear on Congress this Winter and
take part in the proceedings resulting
from the party conventions petition. It
is notable that the federation's resolu-
ton supports a constitutional amend
ment, permitting, but not forcing, the
exclusively-legislating Congress to grant
the people of the District representation
in Congress, in the electoral college and
equal status with the people of the
States before the Federal courts. That
amendment should be the objective of
those who labor for District suffrage.
When it is obtained the most formidable
obstacle in the way of full citizenship
for Washingtonians will have been re-
moved.

way open to further peace moves. In
view of the determined stand taken by
Lewis and his Committee for Industrial
Organization, peace seems even further
away than before the convention. The
demand of the president of the A. F. Of
L. and It's leaders has been that the
C. I. o. disband. They have seen in
the new organization a rival to the
parent organization, and Green himself
has charged q conspiracy against the
federation.
The federation has oeen built up on
the plan of craft unions. The G. I. o.
stands for industrial unions that take in
all the workers in an industry, although
their crafts may be different under the
old accepted meaning of craft unions.
: Aside from this fundamental difference,
however, there is the clash between two
strong groups of leaders in organized
labor. One is headed by Green and
many of the older leaders in the fedora
ton; the other by Lewis, president of
the United Mine Workers Of America.
and others who, like him, demand in
dustrial unions.
The position of Green seems to have
been strengthened materially by the
action of the convention. Prior to the
vote in the convention, the G. I. o.
unions had been under suspension
merely by the vote of the Executive
Council Now the federation, meeting in
national convention, has made the sus-
pension indefinite and has authorized
more drastic action if the peace overtures
fail. A special convention of the fedora
ton also has been authorized to act, II
necessary.
Labor leaders and the rank and file
generally dislike the prospect of violent
and more or less permanent split in Or
ganized labor. They see in the recent
national election a particular oppor-
tunity for greater strides by organized
labor, an opportunity for new labor

Labor should be united at this time, ii
ever, they believe. 1t looks, however, as
though an immovable body were meeting
an irresistible force in the conflict be-
tween the two groups. Both are Stub
born and both are strong.
At the bottom is the determination
of Lewis and the c. I. o. to have their
way, and the equally strong determina-
ton OF Green and the federation leaders
who have continued with him not to
permit this The latter do not intend
if they can prevent it, to permit the
new organization to supplant the old
federation in power and influence
About one-third of the members OF the
federation are contained in the unions
making up the c. I. o. 1t is likely to
be difficult task to get them all back
into the fold.

December!"
Usually the big flea season ends when
the temperature first drops in the Fall.

find the Summer q time Of misery for at
least one member Of the family.
But few persons have had to endure
this constant biting land subsequent

too, end usually with that first real drop
to freezing and below, even If 1t does not
last long.
The curious thing In the past, dog
lovers feel, is that the big fea season
ends, even indoors, where the tempera-
ture is kept uniformly at 10 degrees or
better.
Insects, evidently, do not keep up with
modern progress
For centuries they found certain tenn
peratures calling upon them for a ces-
Sation until next year.
This dormant period influenced them
just the same as it does plants. 1t was
the law.
Now that man, at least In America. has
changed the law, by installing heating
equipment designed to give him Summer
in Winter, we might expect the insect
population to keep up with the pro-
cession.
What do the f1eas do, however?
Most years, fortunately, the feas
simply die down and out, waiting until
the heat of Summer starts them up
again.
Dog and cat owners who happen to be
scrupulous about such things know that
flea or two will linger, but that they
do not propagate.
This season, however. there seems to be
no limit to the flea population.
Instead Of dying out, it goes right
ahead increasing, despite the millions
of gallons Of sprays and pounds Of in
secticide powders poured upon flea heads.
Susceptible persons are still being bit.
and that, If you ask them, Is just too
bad.
People living in the suburban areas
still are receiving mosquito bites.
Now this, too, is highly unusual in this
climate at this time of year.
Usually the mosquito clans repair to
the places where they do repair to at
this time and leave the streets and
gardens to humans.
Not so this season.
Many a person has come up with big
itchy mosquito bite, even with the tenn
perature down to Is degrees as it was
one day recently in the suburban areas.
Folks of the deep city do not always
realize that normally the temperature
runs. Winter and Summer, between
and degrees lower in the suburbs.
To find mosquitoes with full biting
power after a spell of 16 degrees above
zero is ususual, to say the least.

around in kitchens and pantries. despite
the utmost efforts made to oust them.
This, too, is unusual.
o Yet, of the three forms here men
toned, the various members of the ant
tribe are the most likely to be seen out
Of what some are fond of regarding as
their season.
One nearby Maryland family on
Christmas eve several years ago started
to trim a tree on an inclosed porch
It was very warm, so much so that a
colony of ants beneath the porch must
have thought it Spring instead of
Christmas
One by one they crawled up the outside
of the chimney and into the porch.
One by one they were slaughtered as
they arose, but the complete job took
more than two hours, with the tree watt
ing all that time for its tinsel and lights.
Insect powder brought into play helped
the slaughter, but the warfare was con-
stant for full 120 minutes.
When the battle was over the entire
floor of the porch was covered with
insects.
Surely that was one of the strangest
Christmas ewes the family ever spent.
Nor was the insect end of it very
nice feature, although the persons in
volved had more than a usual interest
in such forms of life.
A genuine interest in Nature in all of
her forms will go a long way toward
making q situation interesting, If not
pleasant.
Such a person who happens to attract
the bites of dog and cat f1eas, for in
stance, will find it an aid toward bearing
his burden with such equanimity as he
can muster, which is not always very
much.
Such bites do grow tiresome about this
time of year. especially when all ones
friends and even relatives tend to laugh
heartily.
The thing is no joke. however, as the
sufferer knows full well, and it is about
time, he thinks, that the rest of the
world realize his predicament.
Sprays, powders. sanitation. vigorous
slaps, minty odors f1eas are not supposed
to like-these all are brought into play
with more or less success
But when Nature herself in strange
mood chooses to join in the laugh and
endow her fleas with exceptional vigor,
then the poor man can do nothing but
make the best of things, meaning feas.

It Is difficult to understand what
element there is in the world of Nature
at this time which would enable fleas,
mosquitoes and ants to outlast their

But many a susceptible person will

And he could show you, if he chose,
various and sundry small red spots
which itch like blazes with almost all the
fury of the well-known chigger bite
Some wag once wrote an interesting
poem on the latter insect; we append it
the poem, not the chigger-as a classic
of it's kind:
The bite of the chigger
Really isn't much bigger
Than the end of an ordinary pin;
But the lump that it raises
1tches like blazes,
And that's where the rub comes in!

Last Appeal.

The 1886 Community Chest campaign
closed last evening approximately two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars short
of its goal Generous givers had con-
tributed eighty-six per cent of the total
objective. The people Of the city, it
was evident, had demonstrated the nat
ural instinct of solidarity which should
distinguish the Nations Capital.
Yet the simple truth that more money
Is needed remains unaccepted. The
Chest budget was calculated on the
minimum requirements OF its constituent
agencies. 1t follows that anything short
OF the complete success of the campaign
represents partial failure to solve the
problem OF their maintenance. The diff
ference may be illustrated by mention
OF the fact that funds have been raised
for three hundred and fifteen days.
Support for the balance of the year
two months out of twelve-still is wanted.
But the deficiency could be negotiated.
1t has been estimated that subscriptions
Of an additional two dollars each from
every Washington family able to give
would solve the problem. On the eve
of Thanksgiving, The Star submits the
question to its readers: Why not take
up Community Chest collection in your
home tomorrow? The gesture would be
an acknowledgment for the blessings of
the season. 1t would hallow the day
as nothing else could.
Such suggestion may be offered with
out apology. No man, woman or little
child in the District of Columbia desires
to be reniss in the discharge of the
duties Of fellowship. One spirit prevails
throughout the city. That already has
been proven. Let it, then, have ultimate
expression to the end that the Chest
drive may be written into history as an
unconditional victory over hunger,
disease, crime and despair-enemies now
in retreat, yet not quite thoroughly van
quished.
