Perhaps the most important item
dealing with White House affairs is
the report that the President in
clines Jess toward government
spending and more toward putting
business on its feet through various
measures, not the. least of which
is reduction in taxes which bust
ness has condemned as bar to pro-
gress. To the Republican, that is
recession from position definite
W taken. To the Dmocrat it is
q step forward, wherein govern
mental action is adapted to chang
ing times. So long as business is
put on a sound basis, the general
run of men will not concern them
selves much with the underlying
facts. If there is a genuine return
Of good times, good times alone will
be considered by the majority. The
politicians will be left to make the
mud balls and throw them.
Congress has received report
from the united States Maritime
Commission to the effect that the
merchant marine is in a bad way
and that something must be done
about it: statement which can be
backed up by the simplest sort of
figures. For example England and
her dominions launched 215 vessels
in 1885 as against IA for the United
States. For Is years, American ship
ping has been practically living off
its subsidies, a condition which OBJ
viously is not sound. 1t is not mere
ly a question of more ships, how
ever, but of training sailors and
avoiding labor troublrt~ after tn
sailors are trained. For the one
need, it is proposed to have the
Coast Guard serve as a nautical.
school. and for the other board
of mediation between ship owners
and seaman is needed and proposed.

Formula Given for
Fireside Chatters
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
Before the New Deal is finally laid to
rest IN its appropriate limbo-perhaps
as means to that desirable end-I hope
some competent person will make a
thorough study OF the technique of its
nreslde chatters. Among these the
president is. OF course. -eminently
nrst. Whether second place belongs to
wallace or 1ckes or Farley is a nice
question. but unique honors will go by
acclamation to that priceless trio, Cum
mings, Guffey and Black.
Assuming common purpose and
method in these attempts to invade our
hearths and play upon our heart-strings.
the general formula seems to be about
as follows:
l. Begin on the high plane of univer-
sally accepted moral and patriotic plati-
tude.
2. From this safe altitude view with
disdainful irritation those fellows of the
baser sort who disagree with you.
s. Express your irritation in the most
picturesque language available. Con-
suit Mr.. x.
T. Maintain the personal note through
out. Persons are always more vulnerable
than facts or arguments.
5. Study the many virtues and uses of
silence. 1t cannot be refuted, and often
implies that an argument is not worth
answering
g. Never admit an error in fact or
argument, in word or deed. Least said.
soonest forgotten
T. End with the grateful assurance
that the incident is closed.

Is said to be made over short stretches,
half or three-quarters of q mile.
A more complete potential speed trap
can hardly be imagined. Those who
have been operating the check-up insist,
however, that it has been used so far
solely for the collection OF data on the
average speed Of passenger cars, trucks
and buses. To this has been no objection
and there can be none.
I'VE believe the authorities will ac-
complish more by treating the motorist
fairly than by ambushing him." the auto
clubs speed-trap protest says. 1t would
seem fair, too, if the speed demon were
made to give fair warning, such as the
continuous sounding of a siren, instead
OF "ambushing" his victim.
Perhaps if the operation of the speed
checking device is sufficiently publicized
there will be no need for converting It
into trap.

Eccentricities of Local
And National Finance

To the Editor of The STAR
The other night had a call from a
policeman. He stated he was greatly
embarrassed, but he had been given a
lot OF tickets to sell for a prizefight in
order to provide funds for food for un-
dernourished school children.
Last week had call from a fireman.
He was begging for funds for widows and
orphans OF f1remen who had sacrificed
their lives for the District.
short time ago we had the Presi-
dents Cup Regatta at Hains Point. That
night for over two hours there were
fireworks; thousands of dollars went up
In smoke; enough money was wasted to
amply provide for school childrens
lunches and for iremen's pensions.
The President has returned from an
other vacation. He has been inspecting
the numerous dams he has spread ali
over Western States. The West is now
safe for Democracy"
How about Washington? If we had
vote, doubtless the President would
give dam" for us.
A blaze Senate, and a Sophisticated
House, hear their masters voice !"
They, too, don't give q dam for Wash
ington. The director of the budget tells
our poor to look to the churches or to
the Lord for relief.
Over $30,000,000 has been spent In
Senator Norris State, Nebraska, with a
population not exceeding that of the
District. Money has been thrown avav
with abandon. And poor Washington
must have its taxes boosted and its poor
neglected to pay for "votes.p
What is the use, anyway?

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL,

|, has advanced as far as the window SILL
as II determined, at last, to fly out on
Eleventh street.
Each time, however, he has drawn
back just before the great adventure.
1t Is nice and warm in the Office and,
no doubt, that Is what fly appreciates
more than anything else at this time
Of year.
Many Office visitors have popped the
hy's lemon drop into their mouth before
they could be stopped.
Usually, 1t is lying in a small cigarette
ash holder, making a pretty picture
against the blue china.
We had thought, from time to time,
to label it carefully, "Fly's food, leave
alone" but thought that would be
attracting too much attention to the
er, insect.
There is an obdurate race of wags. the
members of which would like nothing
better than to crush any ones pet fly.
So We thought the best thing to do
would be to let those eat the dy's food
who would, and say nothing about it.
What you don't know, won't hurt
you," goes the old saying.
After all, eating food over which fly
has ambled is not new in the world; it
was the common practice for centuries.
Even today the man who invented
window screens has not received one
tenth the praise he should.
Perhaps the daintiest insect We ever
have seen was one little fellow which
lived on the hand wash basin, as they
call 1t In Europe. for several months.
This was one of the most charming OF
all invertebrates
1t was SO fllmy in construction that
each time 1t got in the water its life
seemed gone, but each time it would
emerge again
AT last it got to be sort of game. No
one touched the insect, but let it alone,
as it flew around.
The creature developed a keen taste
FOR shaving soap; he was always Johnny
on-the-spot in the early morning.
Several times the whirlpool of water
from the cold spigot-the best for shay
ing-caught him squarely.
We gave him up, poor fellow. only to
see him emerge at last. lie still for
time on the porcelain, then fly around as
II nothing had happened.
This went on for many weeks.
The little bug" as it was called with
fine disdain for entomology, came to be
a household pet.
He was so tiny that it was impossible to
see him, really. Only his gossamer wings
gave him substance.
~ +
To greet him in the bath room every
morning came to be a rite.
But one morning he was not there.
Where is the bug?"
He had been there yesterday-where
was he now?
A careful search was made behind his
favorite cake of soap.
Some careless person, perhaps, had put
the cake down squarely upon him.
But no, he was gone. He was not seen
any more, and shaving has never been
quite the same since.

Scientific Speed Traps

Maryland State police are going
scientific. Their Accident Prevention
Bureau is using radio-operated devices
to collect data on speeding on danger
Gus sections of highway.
On the same day that an automobile
club protested the possible use of the
device as a speed trap" the Accident
Prevention Bureau released its septem-
Der analysis Of fatalities showing that
50 Of 1927 drivers involved In accidents
In the State were speeding There were
1S9 accidents, in which 46 persons were
killed and $50 injured.
As might be expected the radio speed
checking device revealed the prevalence
OF speeding even on dangerous sectors Of
road. In a forty -five-mile zone the
average speed of passenger cars was
shown to be fifty-three to fifty-five miles
an hour.
The mechanism developed to check
the speed Of passing cars consists Of
two-way radio sets. Of1cers stationed at
one end tell those at the other to
CHECK" The man on the receiving end
Immediately starts stop watch. Notes
on the make, model and license number
OF the car being checked then are trans
mitted. When the information arrives
at the checking station the time is noted
and the speed Is calculated. The check
