Mental measurements have served

ROllo Ogden.

A little child, making his first &C
quaintance with the Alps, epitomized a
universal genius of appreciation when he
cried: How clean they are!" The same
tribute, surely, might be applied to the
life and work of Rollo Ogden, editor of
the New York Evening Post from 1908
to 192O-and of the New York Times from
1922 until yesterday. No Journalistic Ca
reer ever was more conspicuously honest,
no pilgrimage In this world more notably
honorable. A very great and a very
useful American is gone.
Mr.. ogden was one Of those rare char
acters whose thought and feeling are
completely disciplined. He was rich in
learning and in experience, and from the
depths Of his knowledge he drew the
power to discriminate with marvellous
efficiency. 1t was his duty as commen-
tator on the human scene to choose
wisely between parties and policies, in
dividuals and their efforts, the plus and
minus of current history related, as it is
and always must be, to both the past
and the future. The responsibility was
heavy, but it was accepted courageously
and discharged with judicial acumen

Spring Approaches.

The robin, traditionally, is the har-
binger Of Spring. But this year, as it
happens, the vernal season has been
heralded by two other varieties of
phenomena. Yesterday, George WASH
ington's natal anniversary, was blessed
with weather that summoned thousands
of residents Of the District Of Columbia
and nearby Virginia and Maryland out
Of doors. Also, February "a was the
date selected by Assistant Superinten-
dent Albert Clyde-Burton Of the Ma
tional Capital Parks to announce that
applications for picnic permits already
are being received. The sunshine and
the petitions for license to dine in the
open testified to a single fact-Winter

Americans, 1t seems, love the un-
trammeled freedom that somehow never
is feasible within even the most con-
genial of walls and under the kindliest

with the perils of quitting civilization.
They have heard of poison ivy, hornets,
black spiders, thunder showers, traffic
congestion, ptomaine and all the other
hazards of the smiling countryside. But
they are not afraid of any Of these
risks. Father may have blowout and

dreds of thousands of readers through
nearly half q century Of daily editorial
labor.
The explanation of Mr.. Ogden's sue
cess may be discovered in the good
manners-the essential tolerance and
kindliness-which were his outstanding
trait. His spirit was gentle; the democ-
racy in which he believed and to the
unfa1tering practice Of which he devoted
his brilliant talents was a conscious
philosophy Of charity and fellowship
he loved the race, was. proud OF its
achievements and constructively optt-
mistic about its aspirations and ideals.
The doors of his mind and his heart
stayed open to the end. Dying at 81, he
contradicted by example the cruel theory
that men long past the prophets span
of threescore and ten invariably are
incapable of comprehending progressive
truth. His final endeavors were among
his best; they reflected noble soul in
the glory of an unfeared sunset.
But Mr.. Ogden is not lost to his
country. 1t is impossible to speak Of
such a force as he represented being
destroyed by the accident Of dissolution.
His influence will continue to serve the
people. The anonymous hand which is
privileged to write these words for The
Star is but one of many which, please
God, will be strengthened by memory
of him and reverence for him. He taught
teachers, and his immortality therefore

There are many special reasons why
people need to keep an eye on the
weather. but among the best is the
garden.
Life Of plants, shrubs and trees Is 30
dependent upon the weather that 1t
does not take the amateur gardener long
to realize 1t. He, in time. becomes
weather wise to q certain extent; he
looks with q fine eye Of appreciation
upon bright and gloomy days alike, for
both have their places In the divine
scheme Of plant things.
Plants in the earth must endure all
that comes, the scorching sun, the pelt-
ing rain, the drying wind, the close
lying and deep snow and sheathing ice.
It Is marvellous, is it not, that q small
piece of fiber, which two fingers easily
snaps, could live and thrive through it
all?
1t Is uncanny enough that a roof on
human habitation can weather all It
does, but 1t is, after all, lifeless and

conditions.
But the living plant endures all, and
comes out Of 1t alive and smiling in the
later days Of Spring, when the brave
green leaves put forth, and the flowers
bloom at last.
There is something dumbly brave
about plants. daring to come up in
Winter Just because Of few compare
lively mild days.
They take a chance, in other words.
Their instincts, no less than those of
animals, call them forth to do battle
with the elements.
Surely 1t Is not stretching q word to
call them brave and to think they dis
play bravery.
The elements, of course, also are their
means of growth.
The plant takes advantage of the good
in sun and rain, warmth and cold and
inertly tries to be as dormant as possible
when conditions are against it.
1t makes the best of circumstances in
q very convincing way.
Human activities also are dependent
upon the weather. The recent floods
showed this in striking way. Normal
activities, however, depend no less upon
warmth and cold, sunshine and rain
weather, in other words, which is always
interesting and always worth talking
about.
Every one can be his own little weather
prophet, to a certain extent, at least
and the greatest agencies can say no
more-by coming old rhymes, and get
ting the "feel' of weather changes. 1t
Is not difflcult to do, and offers a great
deal Of fascinating experimentation to
the person whose mind may not be
scientific, but whose mentality is able
to realize the beauty and interest In
these changes which are so vast and yet
part Of our everyday lives.
