to be likely to produce only average re-
suits sometimes work out In terms Of
sustained success. That such will be the
case with the Warrington team this year
is the sustaining hope Of the Thousands
who will attend the games here.
In any case, the sport will be sup
ported generously. There is sure to be
a suficient degree Of success to keep
hope alive. But whatever may be the
ANAL standing Of the teams, the games
themselves will be certain to afford con-
slant entertainment and perhaps to pro-
vide occasion for excitement as those
exceptional situations that occasionally
ar1se-bases loaded long safe hits scor-
Ing multiples Of runs, or sensational de-
tense plays cutting of game winning
runs-turn out to the advantage Of the
home team.
Base ball is clean, fair game. It Is
typical Of the American temperament.
1t Is truly the national sport. From the
sand lots where budding talent is devel-
oped to the playing fields Of the profess
sional clubs the contests are waged with
skill, spirit and unflagging determination.
The slogan Of the sport is that "the game
Is never over until the last man is out
In the last inning" That is the reason
why this form Of public entertainment,
peculiar to America, has become one of
the great industries of the country, and
why on the opening days the crowds
assemble early and await with eagerness
the cry Of the umpires. PLAY BALI" To-
day the President Of the United States
starts the season with toss that makes
history, perhaps to the ultimate salts
faction Of the multitude that consti-
tutes Washington's faithful base ball
public.

College Scholarships Plan
For jefferson Memorial
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The star:
We have been following with much
interest the discussion over the erection
OF memorial to Thomas Jefferson. We
should like to suggest q substitute plan,
which should be an effective compro-
mise. Instead Of erecting another monu-
ment for the tourist to "gape at" we
suggest that Congress authorize the
granting of Jefferson memorial college
scholarships to capable students who
are interested in studying political
science, economics and foreign service.
The Government has schools to train
its military officers, but there is no pro-
vision made for the training of It's adj
ministrative officers. Perhaps some form
Of scholarship could be made to stu
dents which would provide training,
consisting partly of actual training ex-
perience in the Federal service. Thus,
trained, intelligent and efficient young
people would be brought into Govern
ment service where most needed.
There are many capable and inteln-
gent youths in our Nation who desire q
college education but who are finan-
cially unable to secure one. Under the
scholarship plan they would have an
opportunity to attend college and later
have = career in the Federal service.
We suggest that these scholarships be
divided among the States somewhat in
the manner that Annapolis and West
Point appointments are allotted. An
applicants character, scholarship, physi-
cal fitness and capability should be the
factors involved in making the selec-
tons. The scholarships should cover
tuition, books and living expenses at
any college which the recipient might
choose. A recipient should maintain an
enviable record to keep his scholarship
during the college years.
We have noticed suggestions that a
Jefferson memorial university be estab-
lished, but we believe the establishment
OF such university to be unwise for
obvious reasons, unnecessary to even
mention, except for the fact that strict
Government regulation and regimenta-
ton would in effect defeat the purposes
OF education. Governmental participa-
ton in education is not to be desired
Certainly there could be no more fit
ting memorial to the great Jefferson
than memorial scholarships given in
his name. These scholarships would be
OF direct and lasting benefit to the
Nation as whole. Also, the destruction
OF the cherry trees is avoided and the
erection OF another mass of concrete
to mar the landscape is prevented.

The Navy cat War;

Though far from sight, the Nation
follows with liveliest interest the annual
war game" of the United States Fleet,
which has just begun. An armada
roundly OF $50 ships of all types, sup
plemented by nearly 500 airplanes and
comprising personnel of 10000 officers
and men, is now fighting" its way
across the Pacific in the direction Of
Honolulu. A struggle" for Hawaii be-
tween rival "black" and white" fleets
is the specific objective of the maneu-
vers, the general purpose of which is to
give ships and men intensive experience
In defense Of the strategic triangle"
comprehended by Alaska, the Hawaiian
Islands and the Panama Canal Zone,
. vast oceanic area OF 100000 square

elcOme D. A. r,

Perhaps never before since the Daugh-
tiers Of the American Revolution first or
ganlzed in 1890 has the annual Congress
OF the order met in Washington under
conditions OF such dynamic significance
as those which currently prevail. Ex-
perlenced observers Of every school Of
thought agree that the United States In
this present hour is rife with change.
Forces as yet but partially comprehended
are at work everywhere throughout the
land. The influence of alien PHILOSOPHERS
OF reform may be detected in practically
every home within the confines of the
Nation. A devastating dislocation OF in
dustry, following the most cruel and
costly OF wars, gave these doctrines of
class strife their opportunity. The re-
sultant confusion In the public mind is
too patiently manifest to stand in need of
argument.
But the D. A. r. represents q tradi-
ton which still providentially Is DOS
sessed OF powers OF resistance. The
order has made 1t business for nearly
half century ito cherish, to maintain
and to extend the institutions of Ameri-
can freedom" founded by the sponsors of
the Republic. Its method has been that
OF education, the pattern Of patriotism it
has taught has been that of an applied
understanding Of the meaning Of liberty.
Conservative it Is in the proper definition
OF the word. Its intent is the preser-
vation Of the blessings and benefits of 4
self-supporting, self-respecting, indie
pendent civilization. Against experiment
tation, untried theory, unwise extrava-
gance, unjust exploitation and the de-
hberate partisan perversion of basic
1dealism 1t has been a bulwark for the
protection Of society As a whole.
Yet 1t cannot be charged that the D,
A. R. has failed to be nationally pro-
gressive. Few indeed have been the
advocates Of helpful policies of gov
eminent who have appealed to the
order for assistance in vain, Rather,
1t has furnished an example for literally
dozens of other voluntary organizations
supporting the steady advance of the
United States in the path toward the
goal initially visioned by the signers of
the Declaration of Independence and the
trainers of the Constitutions Nation
blessed with liberty, prosperity and peace
because OF loyalty, equity and fellow
feeling enshrined in each individual heart
under the Stars and Stripes.
Now, particularly, millions Of men
and women, bewildered by the loud de-
bate OF recent months, want guidance.
The D. A. R., inspired by its love for the
country and the values always dear to
its people, may furnish the leadership
demanded by the emergency in the
shadow Of which 1t assemblies today.

miles. When Oahu. capital island Of
the insular territory, is under attack, !"
Army and Navy forces regularly sta
toned there will join In the operations.
Pearl Harbor, Uncle Sans mid-Pacific
Gibraltar" will play conspicuous
role. The war game" under general
direction OF Admiral Arthur j. Hep
burn, commander in chief of the United
States Fleet, will last six weeks.
Happily the time is past when this
large-scale, periodical battle practice
of the Navy was looked upon as inter-
nationally provocative, and, because Of
its locale, as an unfriendly gesture
toward Japan in particular. Even
though the maneuver zone Is thousands
OF miles from the island empire, certain
professionally anti-American Japanese
used to criticize the program, just A.
they formerly challenged the policy Of
maintaining the fleet permanently on
the western side Of the continent.
Those alarms no longer well up from
Japan, which herself annually carries
out similar game" Of her own in the
Pacific, without any murmur Of Amer
lean protest.
The Navy is our sure shield. To keep
1t bright, effective and ready for instant
action, it requires to be exercised under
conditions as faithfully suggestive of
actual war as staff ingenuity can devise
1t takes more than powerfully armored,
strongly armed and swift-moving ships
and planes to make 4 modern navy.
Trained officers and men are Of the
essence Of Its efficiency. The requisite
degree OF capacity Is attainable in only
one way-by giving the human factors,
on which sea power In the last analysis
depends, maximum and regular oppor-
tunity to use their heads and stretch
their muscles under warlke circum-
stances. That is the sole, the all-vital,
purpose OF the mock combat which will
rage throughout the great triangle
until the end of May. 1t is reassurinR
evidence that amid the priceless bless
ings Of peace, = wise America is pre-
pairing intelligently for the ever-present
possibility OF war.

Mans Determination
To Destroy Nature
To thu Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
would like to add my protest to that
OF other nature-loving citizens OF WASH
ington to the removal of the Japanese
cherry trees from around the Tidal
Basin. Why destroy these trees which
add so much beauty to Washington in
the Spring of the year to put up
memorial to Thomas Jefferson on this
particular site? Why is man so de-
termined to destroy nature, which is an
evidence of Gods love for mankind, to
put up buildings Of his own design? I
also feel that it is an insult to Japan
to destroy these trees, which were given
to this country as a token of her friend
ship for the United States. If memo
rial to Thomas Jefferson Is desired why
not put it at some other place in this
city that needs improvement.
While on this subject would also like
to protest against the placing of earthen
fills in Rock Creek Park to carry cross
trafac. This would be an unwarranted
destruction Of another beauty of nature.

THIS AND THAT
~ CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL.
Il was always careful" said the lady,
but after got hit by that truck was

II was always careful" said the lady,
but after got hit by that truck was
more careful
There's true story In one sentence,
which has q good moral for all OF us.
We can be more careful, whether We
ride or walk, whether We drive q car or
are driven, whether we mentally class
ourself as motorist or pedestrian.
Just little more care, on the part of
everybody, and no doubt the list of
dead and manned from our highways
would be reduced.
A little more care and that reduction
itself would be cut.
Everybody thinks he Is careful, and
perhaps he is. but there is little doubt
that the careful must be more careful,
as well IS the careless careful.
Those split seconds you hear 80 much
about-it is in those that the accidents
occur. There is not time in them to
be careful. The care must come before
hand.
Making the care come beforehand
that is the way the trafic problem Is
going to be solved If it ever is.
1t Is difncult at this stage Of American
life to feel sure that this particular
problem ever will be solved completely.
1t is possible, however, to hope that 1t
will be, and to work in every way toward
that goal.
Individual carefulness, let US believe,
will 60 long way toward making Amer
lea safe for itself.
1t really is absurd to think that in
the names OF pleasure, progress and in
vention we, as q nation. are making our
land unsafe for ourselves.
+
Any one, by taking thought, can con-
vince himself that no matter how care
full a driver or pedestrian he may be,
there still is room for improvement.
Not at the time OF accident.
1t is too late then.
What is necessary is prior thoughtful
ness.
How to 60 about this7
One good way Is to check over one s
own trafic faults and determine before
hand to correct them.
This check must be double check,
as Andy says.
First 1t must be done by going over
the entire matter while one Is seated
comfortably at home or ONCE. Then 1t
must be done Ion the job"
The same attitude is necessary for
both motorists and pedestrians
All men are pedestrians at some time
or other.
What do I do that is wrong, that is
careless, in traff1c?"
1t is a good question: one which may
be asked by any one Of himself, by any
one OF herself.
y \
What do I do careless, endangering
others. endangering MYSELF"
Once this is asked in all solemnity,
with real purpose to achieve some
thing worth while. the list OF wrongs
including all careless thoughts, acts
will grow amazingly.
The pedestrian particularly needs this
self discipline, because he is not inclosed
in steel body. His fallible frame of
bones and flesh always comes OF the
loser in personal battle with an auto
mobile.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Southerners who also were for 1t were
Robson Of Kentucky and Taylor and
Reece Of Tennessee. Although Repre-
sentative Summers. Democrat, of Texas,
chairman OF the House Judiciary Com
mittee, led the opposition to the Gavagan
measure, he took occasion while it was
pending to telegraph the Governor of
Mississippi a scorching denunciation OF
the recent lynchings in that state.
Lively interest is aroused in both
American Official and foreign diplomatic
quarters by Belgian Premier Van Zee
lands approaching visit to Washington
Nearly everybody thinks that in some
form or other Europes spiders yearn to
have the Yankee fly walk into their
parlor and join them in cleaning up the
worldwide economic mess. According
to persistent stories inspired across the
Atlantic and relayed to this side, what
statesmen over there banker for Is an
international conference to be sponsored
by Uncle Sam. Unless M. Van iceland
Is magician, or unforeseen develop
ments transpire, the Brussels statesman
who recently gave Fascism a knockout
blow will not encounter much enthusi-
asm in the United States for an Amer
ican-called parley on economies, dis
armament or peace. Hands of" Europe's
entangling business is the Roosevelt
slogan-until further notice, anyhow.
Two biographies Of Senator Norris,
Independent, of Nebraska are scheduled
for publication this year. One is by
Alfred Lief, who recently wrote = life
OF Justice Brandeis. The other Is the

entitled Integrity: The Story Of George

Jacob Rupert, owner Of the New York

Mr.. Rupert declares that the brewing
trade must recognize its social re-
sponsibility, II 1t Is to develop" It il
pretty generally admitted that the
ancient alliance between breweries and
the old-time saloon played q primary
role in producing conditions which
enabled Wayne B. Wheeler to put Uncle
Sam on the water wagon. It is the de-
clared purpose Of Mr.. Rupert and his
fellow-brewers kenceforth ito align the
industry with every force working for

One OF the impressive phases Of the
proposition to sacrifice the gorgeous and
significant cherry blooms for a Greek
temple in honor Of Thomas Jefferson,
which historians will have to consider, is
how to account for the moments Of seri-
Gus attention bestowed on it. Should the
plan be put over the shade of some Tam
many Congressman will be expected to
visit Mount Vernon and whisper, Il can
not tell lie, Father OF My Country, I
did 1t with my little tomahawk."

Haunting, sweet and airy floats q melody
From some songster wary In forest tree:
Blown by q wind-fairy all the way to me.
To q love-mate singing Of the nesting

After the long winging from a distant

Ardent measures iinging into trilling

which he sang.
Nests would soon be filling with

While with cooling, billing, all the forest
