A Word to the Sage.

When American statesmen differ In
their readings and interpretations of the
Constitution Of the United States, and
even seek to interpret 1t quite to the
contrary Of established and accepted
meanings, it is not matter for wonder
that foreigners go astray in their under
standing of the fundamental law of this
land. In the light Of the recent dispu-
tation concerning the legal sense of the
word happen in relation to the va
cancy on the Supreme Court a London
dispatch, just printed, should not cause
strong condemnation of the ignorance
of Hindoo astrologist named Pandit
6urya Vayas, who has Just been quoted
as predicting that the Duke of Windsor
may some day become President of the
United States
Just to be explicit, for the benefit of
those, even some Americans, who are not
letter perfect in their knowledge and
understanding of the Constitution, that
instrument provides, in Article II, Sec
tion I, as follows: "No person except a

Enforcement of Trash
Prohibition Law Needed

To the Editor Of The Star:
Some twenty-five years ago the District
Of Columbia enacted an anti-spitting or
dinance. Prior to that time not only the
sidewalks, but even the floors of the
street cars, were in a perpetually filthy
condition from the splitting practice.
The ordinance was vigorously enforced
and in very short time the practice
ceased
We also have an ordinance prohibiting
the throwing Of trash and paper in the
streets. No attempt is made to enforce it.
The result is that the streets of the
National Capital are Uttered with trash
most of the time. The area around lower
Ninth street is in particularly disgrace
full condition.
am informed that in some countries
the policeman who sees a person throw
ing trash in the street gives the offender
his choice of being arrested or getting
down in public and picking up the litter
he has made. Such practice might be
helpful here. With trash cans provided
every block or two there is no reason to
permit small percentage OF sloppy peo-
pie to spoil the looks Of an otherwise
beautiful city. FRANK C. CAMPBELL.

The Sahara Desert was once part of
a great tropical forest.
New evidence for this hypothesis is
presented by DR.. Herbert Friedman.
curator of birds of the Smithsonian In
stltutlon, in monograph on the birds of
Ethlopla and Kenya Colony just issued
by the Smithsonian Institution.
The bird distribution, Dr. Friedman
says, adds to the accumulating evidence
that the entire African continent once
was covered by unbroken wilderness. The
present dense jungles are survivals of
this, while the Sahara and Kalahari
Deserts, as well as the vast steppe and
savannah regions of East Africa are of
later origin. Once the drying up had
started, DR.. Friedman explains, and
connection between Africa and Asia by
way OF Asia Minor established, a fully
developed open country fauna was ready
to cross over. Previously it would have
been held back by the forests.
AS result he explains, the present.
day life Of the East African plains is
very similar to that which f1ourished in
Central and South Central Asia Just be-
fore, the great ice ages.
Thus says DR.. friedman, I'VE have
fossil evidence of ostriches in Mongolia
and living form in the Arabian-Syrian
Desert, linking up with the well-known
ostriches Of the African plains. There
could have been no ostriches in Africa
before the forest gave way to the grass
lands, and the Mongolian fossil form
IS OF the same age as the transconti-
mental African forest. Therefore it is
clear that the ostrich must be consid-
cred as originally Asiatic and only Sec
ondarily African"

Subsidies Proposed for
Promotion of Culture

TO the Editor OF The Star:
When one speaks of the national inter-
est in sports and the endeavor to obtain
better players for the various college and
professional teams, another obServa ton
becomes insistently necessary to be ex-
pressed. Scouts go up and down the land
searching for foot ball and base ball tai
ent, spending much time, money and ef-
fort to perfect the different teams. Why
is 1t that this same procedure isn't prac-
ticed in certain intellectual fields? We
remember the classical periods of history
because of the contributions of men to
science, poetry, literature, art, drama,
architecture, sculpture, philosophy. poll
tics, economics and government. but the
great athletes of those periods fade into
the shadows.
We have Government greater than
the democracy of Athens, a national
wealth above that of any other democ-
racy OF the past, yet we are far behind
other cultures in the production of great
architecture, drama, music, painting,
sculpture, poetry and philosophy.
II our billionaires and millionaires
would show a national interest in scout
ing for talent in these fields, spending a
small fraction of their fortunes in sub
sidizing the ability of men and women
architects, dramatists, musicians, paint
ers, sculptors poets and philosophers we
would leave heritage enriched by the
past which would justify civilization
more fortunate in material goods and
comforts than any nation has ever BEEN
The geniuses of antiquity were the
brightest jewels in the crown of wealth, as
they might be again today if our rich
men had the taste of their progenitors
