which is now the dominant variety on
the American market and which is
spreading rapidly throughout the world.
The Marglobe virtually saved the Florida
tomato industry from extinction as the
result Of the ravages of various fungus
diseases to which the new variety was
immune.
At the same time other Department
OF Agriculture specialists were engaged
in popularizing the tomato as a food
This brought about the necessity of
shipping for long distances. AS a result
OF the investigations it now is possible
for the consumer anywhere in the United
States to obtain fresh tomatoes from the
neighborhood market any month of the
year. When frost kills the plants in the
North, carload shipments are ready to
leave Florida and Southern Texas. Sue
cessive shipments from California and
intermediate States fill the gap until
local fresh tomatoes come on the market
again in late Summer. The off-season
tomatoes are harvested green, wrapped,
packed and allowed to ripen in transit
or IN storage after arrival.

Open North and South Road
Through Zoo to the Public
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor of The Star.
In connection with the excellent edi-
torial regarding fills and bridges across
Rock Creek Park, ! should like to sug-
gest that steps be taken to open to
general use the north and south road
through the Zoo, which as now operated
is of little or no use.
With the increasing congestion of all
streets it seems desirable to make maxi
mum use Of existing arteries and 7,
therefore, suggest the authorities bridge
the two fords and do away with the
practice OF shutting off travel through
the lower part of the Zoo at or about
sundown.
Under the present practice the public
is prohibited the use of the road through
the park most OF the time and in ad-
dition loses great deal of the benefit
from the recently constructed link join
ing Rock Creek and Potomac Park.

Quest for Beauty.

1t may be true, as James Abbott Mcneil
Whistler said, that there never was an
art-loving nation" but it also is indi-
Gated that there never has been any
place or any time in which people-at
least few persons-have not been en-
gagged in the quest for beauty. Men
naturally respond to that indefnable
quality whose synonyms are grace and
loveliness. Even the most primitive say
ages are possessed of an esthetic instinct.
A stroll through the halls Of any sthno-
graphic museum will sufice to prove the
universally of the impulse to create at
tractive values.
But an occasional pessimist has VEN
tured to suppose that civilization con-
notes ugliness. One who loves the Devon
countryside, for example, will cite the
dreary desolation of the depressed areas"
Of England to illustrate his contention,
while another, holding dear the pleasant
grass-grown hills of Vermont. will point
a critical finger at the smoke stained
environs Of pittsburgh or Chicago. Yet

Nature Points to Folly
OF Social Equalization

To the Editor OF The Star:
In moments of gravity and danger
such as we Americans are passing
through at present, most of us are en-
gagged with serious thoughts and some
of us feel moved to give widespread
expression to them since arguments
both specious and sound are being
aired"
Today labor backed by the inteln-
gensia, is striving more than ever be-
fore to force equalization collectivism-
unified plan for the perfect ca
whole. Each is to think, act, be and live
alike. Equality for all Yet nature does
not distribute herself equally by any
means. Could anything be more un-
equal than Niagara Falls and the end
less, burning sands of the Sahara Desert?
Nature is very capricious, lavish here.
mean there. At once she beauties and
disfgures; she is kind and cruel in
turn. Creating and destroying ruth
lessly, she turns deaf ears on herself,
blind eyes and stony heart. But we
do not quarrel with nature; we worship
her Shall we try to improve nature
plan, which so perfectly includes the
contrasts of inequalities? 1t cannot be
led into the folly of trying.
Here is wonderfully wise definition
of the inhumanity of socialism, with
which, very likely, many educated
though unintelligent persons will dis
agree; nevertheless it is worthy of study,
when the penetrating truth of it's state
ments will dig deep into reasoning
minds:
Il am opposed to socialism because of
its inhumanity; because it saps the
vitality of the human race, which has
no vitality to spare; because 1T lulls to
Incidence those who must struggle to
survive; because the theories of good
men who are enthralled by its deluSions
are made the excuse of the wicked who
would rather plunder than work; be-
cause 1t stops enterprise, promotes lazi-
ness, exalts inefficiency, inspires hatred
checks production assures waste and
instills into the souls of the unfortunate
and the weak hopes impossible of frui-
ton, whose inevitable blasting will add
to the bitterness of their lot"
And just word more for each Amer
lean who loves humanity better than
power; honesty more than gain:
go Finally let each OF us according
to his ability and opportunity practice
and inculcate respect for the law, the
maintenance of order, regard for the
rights Of others, admiration for the sue
cessful, sympathy with the unfortunate,
charity for all, hope for humanity, JOY
in the simple life and contentment

Tampering With Court Like
PLAYING With Explosives
To the Editor of The Star.

Az sie hditoi oi ! lac Oval
1t stands to reason that those Demo-
Gratis who will unwisely goose step" to
the court plan of President Roosevelt are
going to have something to answer for
when they come up for reelection. It
will be from those voters who now
do not realize what his plan will de-
velop, if it becomes effective When they
do come to their senses, they will be
out cunning" for those Congressman
who favored the plan when they are up
for reelection in 1888 and 1910.
Tampering with the judicial branch
Of the Government, which in turn bases
it's decisions upon the provisions of our
Constitution. is like playing With ex-
plosives-sure to prove disastrous in
time. Politics never has been able to
enter the judiciary Of our Government
and to all law-abiding and self-respect-
ing citizens let us now take steps to
prevent its pressure and undesirable
features.
We observe politics influencing the
legislative and executive branches and
have been free to condemn its hazard
Gus results where unduly exercised.
Certainly we cannot tolerate its prac-
tice when our liberties are likely to be
jeopardized. The Constitution was set
up and it's provisions interpreted by a
Supreme Court.
No one can deny that often times
politics has crept into some of our
lower courts and how quickly we con-
demn anything of this sort when dis
covered
The legal profession throughout the
country is materially opposed to the
Presidents plan. These men are we'll
qualified to pass intelligently upon this
question. However, we do find a very
limited number of the legal profession
favoring the plan. If the basis for their
approval is closely checked it will be
found there is very selfish motive
involved Here politics comes to the
surface in the form of a possible ap-
pointment to a judgeship on a Federal
bench. We now observe the Chief Ex-
ecutive 'jockeying" for votes for his
plan with some patronage appointment
involved
The thinking people view with sus-
picion and alarm the Presidents de-
termination to place six additional judges
upon the Supreme Court bench. Most
of his claims for such action have been
carefully analyzed and found to be
unfounded. ROBT. N. CARSON.

SlOw-MOtiOn Striking.

What is described in the dispatches
from Detroit as a new maneuver of
workers designed to replace the st-down
strike as a weapon in the fight for
betterment of conditions is, in fact, an
old device. 1t is called the "slow down"
q slackening that lessons production and
thereby increases costs. 1t is stated
that the chiefs Of the labor movement
are confident that they have found a
weapon more effective even than the
sit-down strike.
Those who have read Charles Reades
novel, Put Yourself in His Place" writ
ten in 1870, will recall that in this story,
which deals with industrial conditions
IN England, description is given of a
procedure known as "ca canny," the
meaning Of which is to 60 slowly, to be
crafty in lessening production while ap-
pearing to conform to the requirements
OF employers. This practice was COM
mon in England and Scotland long
before the organization Of labor unions
as they are known today, and it resulted
In heavy increase in the cost OF all
forms Of labor, particularly in construc-
ton work. 1t has, in fact, been practiced
in recent times in certain lines of labor,
especially in masonry work, in which
the unwritten laws of unions limited the
operatives to certain maximum stints.
This technique, it is stated, is believed
to have had its inception many years
ago in China, where protesting laborers
adopted the practice of slow motion.
Their maneuver was known as the walk
ing COW" strike, from the fact that the

none Of those who are so bitter against
the scars which the machine age" has
inflicted upon the earth need go unan-
swered. At Essen, in Germany, there are
gardens up to the very walls Of the great
steel mills. 1t all depends upon how
much society cares.
And millions incontrovertibly are in
terested in the pursuit OF that dynamic
variety Of human happiness which con-
slsts in the music Of color and form. Shop
girls dress like princesses; carpenters
and bricklayers cultivate their voices:
stenographers read Shakespeare; bus
drivers write novels. If theoretical real
lists" appear to neglect such facts in their
pretended devotion to horror, it probably
does not matter.
Visitors to the current Biennial Exhi-
bition at the Corcoran Gallery have dis
covered encouraging evidence OF progress.
The walls, Of course, show considerable
number-doubtless too many-examples
Of radical modernism. But not all the
pictures are repellant. On the contrary,
1t seems that some of the revolutionaries
are becoming more conservative and some
of the conservatives more liberal. In
other words, there is discernible tend
ency toward normal expression of the
everlasting longing of the race for its
cultural and spiritual fulfillment.

Peace in Spain?

Conditions in Spain, both respecting
the war and it's embittered international
aspects, are 50 huctuating that 1t would
be oourting disappointment to place
premature faith in the latest and less
bellicoee turn Of the kaleidoscope. The
scene OF the new phase Is the
non-intervention committee, which has
hitherto distinguished itself for success
dve failures to prevent foreign armed
interference. So anxious are all con-
cerned to end the bloodshed which has
drenched the peninsula and to remove
the perpetual danger of European war
that they grasp eagerly even at the
slender hope which events at London
suddenly hold out.
Rising dramatically at the recent
meeting Of the non-intervention COM
mittee, Count Dino Grandi, Mussolini,s
representative, proclaimed Italy's readi-
ness once more to consider means Of
evacuating the thousands OF foreign
volunteers" now fighting on both sides.
To that end he proposed immediate ex-
tension of the hands-off program so
that it will forbid entry into Spain Of
all foreigners whose presence might
prolong or embitter hostilities" The
Fascist spokesman's declaration COM
pletely reverses the defiant non With
drawal attitude assumed by Italy only
couple Of weeks ago. His statement
galvanized the whole non-intervention
Committee with conciliatory atmosphere,
which was forthwith reflected by the
Russian Ambassadors announcement
that the Soviet Union is now willing
to soft-pedal its recent charges of an
italian invasion" of Spain. Thereupon
1t was agreed that the long projected
international control Of Spanish from
tiers, supplementing naval supervision on
the coasts should take effect next Mon
day.
Speculation naturally arises as to what
produced this sudden about-face by the
nations whose clashing "ideologies" lie
at the root Of the Spanish tragedy.
Mussolini may be in amicable mood be-
cause Of military events on the Madrid
front and Of dawning realization that
the cause OF his protege, General
Franco, Is doomed. Possibly II Duce
desires to make some reciprocal pacific
gesture in reply to British unWillingness
to permit the rebel blockade in the Bay
OF Biscay to create a casus belli. What
ever has happened to ease the situation,
present indications all point to improved
prospects of peace.
There are even hopes that what VIM
ston Churchill described in Parliament
as his day dream" may come true. He
suggested solution, under international
auspices, to be achieved in three stages.
The first would give Spain "time to cool
down, with no vengeance and no execu-
tons" The second would allow the
formation of compromise government
"by elements not involved in the ferocity
Of the struggle" The final stage would
be "a revival OF those parliamentary in
stitutions which in one form or another
nineteen out of twenty Spaniards never
meant to lose or see destroyed" De-
velopments should promptly demon
strate whether the Churchillian proposal
has any practical substance or is q
mirage doomed to vanish into thin air.

Well simply have to wait and see
How warmly We can greet
Those whom we met in April cheer,
Where brightest blossoms grew.
When Junetime roses have drawn near
I'VE will be seeing you"

Meadow Grass

With tiny blades approaching to the sun
The grass is born
On eager baby feet it strives to run
Further each morn.
1t taller grows. until it learns to dance,
Gay, unconfined;
Each fragile tendril graceful as lance
In the Spring wind.
Then it draws closer, forming a green
house
Better to shield
The love-full nest Of wee mother mouse
Hid In 4 field.
