Washington climate, which has
killed scores of statesmen in the
past. The direct cause of his death
was heart failure, brought on by his
untiring labors in behalf of the
Court bill. Senator Copeland of New
York, who practiced medicine for
many years and Is a sort of consult
ing physician to the Senate, warned
Senator Robinson, a week before he
died, that he was flirting with death.
Mr.. Robinson was on the verge of
collapse when he finished his first
speech. opening the debate on the
bill. He complained to friends on
several occasions that the heat Of
Washington's Summers nearly over
came him. especially the abrupt
change from the Autumn GOODNESS
of the air-conditioned Senate to the
sitting atmosphere outside.
Washington's Heat Undesirable
There Is no escaping the heat in
Washington. 1t is seldom tempered
by dry winds, such as make the
heat of the mid-western prairies
bearable, and the nations capital is
too far inland to get the sea-breezes
which temper the nights, at least,
Of costal cities and make Florida a
more comfortable place in Summer
than Chicago.
Washington's climate has often
been described as that of a steaming
jungle, its swampy tidal marshes
giving off a humidity which makes
Summer nights almost unbearable.
Unless one sleeps in an artificially
cooled apartment there is no escape
from the oppressive, enervating tor
ridity of the average Washington
Summer night.
In such an atmosphere, men pas.
middle age risk their lives when
they undertake such strenuous la
bors as are involved in a struggle
like the one over the Court bill.
Many other Senators have been
warned by Senator Copeland and
other physicians. That so many of
them, on both sides of the contro-
versy, persist in literally taking
their lives In their hands In the face
of such warnings. Is eloquent testi-
mony to the depths OF their convic-
tons and the bitterness and inten-
sity of the struggle.

God Prepares a People
Exodus 12:21-28.
Golden Text: Deut. 7:8

W ~
Exodus 12:21-28.
Golden Text: Deut. 7:6
To understand the Old Testament
we must study carefully the history
out Of which 1t came. For the ma
ton and it's destiny looms large in
the Old Testament. To get the full
flavor of this national spirit we
must turn to the writings Of the
prophets. For the prophet was a
close student of the politics of his
day. His message was determined
to a large degree by the circumstan-
ces in which he found himself. "Out
of them writes one commentator,
"he read the will Of God and In them
he saw the hand of God at work"
Thus the prophets were convinced
that the long pilgrimage Of the
Jewish commonwealth. with all of
Its ups and downs. was essentially
sacred. They loved to dwell on the
covenant between God and Israel,
the redemption from Egyptian serf-
dom, the divine guidance through
the wilderness. and the overthrow
Of the heather in Canaan.
Carlyle once said that s'the Bible
of every nation is its history" This
is peculiarly true of the Hebrew
folk. Intensely patriotic, their his
tory meant everything to them. 1t
is no wonder then that their Bible
is soaked with a vivid national feel
ing. Our lesson text is a reminder of
this striking emphasis. 1t deals with
the institution of the historic Pass
over Festival which the Jews have
always associated with the Exodus
from Egypt, and which they still
observe. Note that the Passover
lamb was originally sacrificed and
the blood s%prinkled on the d%oorposts
by each head of a family, for there
was no tabernacle and no order of
priests.
To Christians the crucihction of
our Master fulhlls all that is signi-
fed by the Jewish Passover. For
you are free from the old leaven."

HOW TO GET RID
OF THE f. BUG

Most housewives hold him in hor-
ror, more from the social stigma of
his presence than from fear of his
bite. Still every experienced travel
Ter will admit both the possibility of
invasion of the most respectable
households and also that to some
people a bed bug is more than a
mere annoyance.
The most certain fumigant is hy-
drocyanic acid. which kills both
adults and their eggs. 1t is extreme
ly dangerous and should never be
used except under direction of the
health department. Sulphur fumes
will kill the bugs but not the eggs.
They tarnish metals and bleach any
thing that has been colored with a
vegetable dye. But sulphur is not
dangerous and used in conjunction

Somewhere in the tumble of readjustment after
the World War. a little group of volunteers who
served the United States overseas became lost. They
were the women-most of them just girls hen-who
served in France as nurses. automobile drivers and
aides in many branches of the army. Their work car
ried them up to the front, and they were subjected to
shellfre, bombs and poison gas. Many of them were
wounded, many others were gassed.
Now. unproyided for in many cases. aging and
faltering under aggravation of old wounds and men
tai shock, and lacking the organizational punch to
carry through a program which would aid them, this
little band of women is calling for help.
According to Miss Dorothy Frooks. national COM
mander of the Women World War Veterans, reduc-
lions in compensation cut the incomes of those who
were disabled from $50 monthly to s2S and less. In
cases OF full disqualification, she says, many of the
women receive only six dollars a month. and being
unable either to support themselves or have the s2s
restored, remain in the hospitals.
From the veterans administration comes a reply
that male veterans under hospital treatment without
dependents receive the same amount. and an intima-
ton that the fault. if anybody's. lies outside its do
main.
While these women veterans are all full mem
bers of the American Legion. no major action to COW
er their cases of war disability was taken, Miss
Frooks says. until ten years after the armistice.
Members of the women's organization themselves ad-

The misfortune of these women will amaze MANY
Americans who thought, when the nation literally
went the limit to appropriate millions for a bonus
little more than a year ago, that that gesture cleared
up Tor a long time all the little odds and ends of trag-
edy associated with our part in the war.
1t is amazing, too. that this band of women
could go along all these years with the hope that
when their own resources ran out, a grateful govern
ment automatically would take good care of them.
Ot course, such a delusion may have been in
spred by the war-shouters of 1917. for when they
were drumming up compression for the struggle TO
save democracy hardly anything was too much a

The sudden death of Senator Joe
Robinson of Arkansas, leader of the
Administration forces in the faction
al battle in the Senate over the Pres
ident's Supreme Court project, re
suited in intensifying the differences
between the opponents of the plan
and the adherents of Mr.. Roosevelt.
The situation precipitated by the
Court fight is being likened by old
time political observers to the split
in the Republican party which arose
in Congress in 1909. The ''Insur.
gent" movement which began In
that year was not so much a revolt
against President Taft as against
the entire Republican party leader
ship.
1t resulted In splitting the party
wide open. bringing Theodore Roos-
eyelt back into political life as a
third-party candidate in 1912, on
the Progressive or "Bull Moose
ticket, and the election of Woodrow
Wilson. the first Democratic presi-
Dental victory for twenty years.
Fear Of Party Split
The fear that the present split in
he Democratic party may have as
treat political consequences as the
Republican split of 1912 had is
openly voiced. 1t is used as an ar
sument for loyal Democrats to sup
port the President, whatever their
PERSONAL convictions.
Equally open are the expressions
by DemQcratic opponents of another
deeep-rooted fear, the fear that the
Presidents court program would
pave the road toward something like
an American version of Fascism, by
concentrating power in the hands
of the Executive and opening the
door for a "totalitarian state" in
which control of all acts Of all citi-
zens would be conferred in Washing
ton and the rights Of the people
would be subordinated to the will of
government.
To the Democrats in both Houses
of Congress who believe that is the
purpose, or at least the probable eff
feet Of the Presidents plan, the
situation calls for a choice of loyal
ties. They can either go along with
the President for the sake of party
harmony and future victories at the
polls or they can maintain that their
first loyalty is not to the party and
It's leader, but to the nation and its
people.
Robinson Loyal to End
Senator Robinson chose the
course of political loyalty. Those
closest in his confidence say that he
did not like the Presidents court
plan, and particularly disliked the
Presidents failure to consult with
him and other leaders of the Con-
g~ressional majority before proposing
1t. But he viewed his obligation as
leader of the Presidents party in
the Senate in the traditional Ameri-
can manner, and set out to do the
best he could for a measure which
was personally repugnant to him,
out which was politically expedient.
he did succeed in getting the
President TO accent tho J.ooon-
Hatch Substitute bill, but that did
not lessen the vigor of the Opposi-
tion' SO Joe Robinson died fighting
TOT a cause in which his heart was
not a loyal party man to the end.
Ther is little doubt that Senator
i~'oolhsons death can be attributed
In some measure to the deadly

RAIL EQUIPMENT
OUTLOOK BRIGHT
Recent Sharp Gains Represent
Only Small Fraction of Peak
Recovery Levels,


Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. August THE recent
sharp upturn in the earnings of rail-
road equipment manufacturers repre-
sents no more than small fraction Of
what might reasonably be considered
peak recovery levels for the industry,
according to survey issued by Fen
ner & Beane
Current operations of equipment
manufacturers. the survey states, are
being supported mainly by heavy un-
filled orders, placed in the latter part
Of 1886 and the first quarter of 1887.
The current lull in new orders is
not an occasion for misgivings, Fen
ner & Beane assert, since the railroads
usually concentrate their orders in the
Spring and Fall, and the recent de-
cline is only of normal seasonal pro-
portions
With traffic at the October peak ex-
pected to total nearly 100000 more
cars than in the peak weeks Of 1896,
the carrying capacity of the roads is
now at an irreducible minimum, &C
cording to this analysis.
The survey estimates that orders
Tor the full year 1887 may total 80
per cent in excess of the 68,34l freight
cars and 556 locomotives ordered in
1885.
Wages in the industry are estimated
TO be Is per cent higher and raw ma
terlals 25 per cent higher than year
ago; recent price increases, averaging
about 20 per cent, both for freight cars
and locomotives and parts, are believed
to have largely offset these added
costs.
