forecasting is, at present, one of patient
collection and classification of data
such as these men have been gathering.
Eventually some brilliant synthesis will
make clear the relationships and work
out formulae for weather behavior.
Theory without data is moonshine The
data cannot be gathered by men in
steam -heated offices. 1t must be gath
cred by men willing to risk their lives in
flights above the clouds, to endure the
loneliness of isolated stations around
the rim of the Arctic, or, as in the case
Of these Russians, actually to live on the
unstable ice.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that they
will be rescued, none the worse fol-
their perilous experience. The drift
appears to be toward the Greenland
coast. There is the possibility that they
will safely reach dry land, however in
hospitable. There is the even greater
possibility that the ice breaker-Rus-
sia's great contribution to the conquest
of the Arctic-will reach them. The
world will watch intently the progress
of their drift and of their rescuers.

Offers Suggestion for
Municipal Parking Lots
To the Editor of The Star:

To the EDITOR OF The Star:
F.. I am glad to see your editorial in
Tuesdays Star on Municipal Parking
Lots Isn't it amazing that cities and
the automobile industries have been so
slow to face this problem and to work
out reasonable solution? Much Of the
value of an automobile is today lost
because it cannot be conveniently used
for lack Of parking places.
The problem could be solved in a
generation by the two following steps:
First, require all new construction, both
homes and office buildings. to provide
off-street parking for the cars of all peo-
pie who would use the new facilities
Second. require every one who wishes to
park his car on the street to pay a
monthly fee which would be turned into
fund with which to buy public park
ing lots which could be made free as
soon as paid for. A different kind of
sticker could be provided each month
for car owners who had paid the tax
SO that police could quickly check up
and enforce the requirement.
There would be demand for many
more automobiles and trade would be
encouraged if solution were found to
this difficult problem. and no one could
seriously object to measures intended
for his own benefit.

sort. This was corroborated, the good
bishops fictitious voyager thought, by
the actual characteristics of the inhabi-
tants of North America. supposedly the
descendants of these unwanted moon
waits. Their color was remotely like the
color of the moon men. Moreover, every
body on the moon Smoked-and were not
the red men the earths first and most
persistent smokers?
Even for a stranger from earth, hfe

ways. For example. everybody was pro-
Vlded with two feather fans. All that
was necessary for travel was to leap in
the air 80 or so feet--a relatively easy feat

vantage was that during the moons day,

rlble glare of sunlight. The lunar life
was lived in earthlight.

same way he came-his swan drawn

anti-gravity stone which was provided
him by one of his friends on the moon.

Adrift in the Arctic.

There has been no more colorful
episode in the history of Arctic explora-
tion than that of Russias North Pole
camp" whose four occupants now are
drifting on an ice block about 100 miles
east of Greenland, while two ice break
ers are pushing through the frozen
ocean to their rescue.
The exploit of these men is by no
means to be regarded as q stunt"
Theatrical as it may have seemed, it
had a solid scientific purpose. The
Arctic basin, now more obviously than
ever, is the brewing pot of the Northern
Hemispheres weather and this, in turn
is one Of the two or three most impor-
tAnt factors In mans environment.
These men have doubtless gathered q
large amount of data which will be of
incalculable value in interpreting
weather phenomena. What happens at
the North Pole today may we'll affect

idea being that 1t Is not 50 much moisture
which robs coffee Of its flavor as varying
temperature. There is no other spot in
house SO constant in this regard as
the modern electric refrigerator.
Just as most men have tried all the
safety r&zors and blades on the market,
SO these who like coffee have expert
mentedwith all the ways of making it.
That no two persons ordinarily agree
on the best way would seem to speak
volumes for something or other.
In this very complex world the famous
"other fellow one talks to all the time
always has tried something else, and
never heard Of your favorite method.
Too many things, too many ways
No two persons ever seem to have
read the same book. any more
Perhaps it is impossible to expect
greater unanimity about coffee and its
preparation. When 1t comes to matters
Of taste, physical or mental, there is
no disputing, indeed
Some gulp steaming cup Of black
coffee in seven seconds fiat 1--WE have
timed 'emD
Others like to dawdle over q cup for
half to three quarters of an hour before
drinking.
Some lovingly keep the hand around
the cup, as if to conserve the precious
warmth.
There are many arguments about this
drink. whether it is good" for one, or not;
whether it is the heat or the caffeine
content which does the bracing; whether
1t is best with cream or without; how
many cups should be taken; how best
to prepare 1t.
All the time the consumption goes
ahead by leaps and bounds.
Some persons who argue strenuously
against the caffeine in coffee do not
know that both tea and cocoa contain
related alkaloids.
Grandmother's use Of an egg shell to
"clear" her coffee was necessitated by
the method she used.
Modern coffee making does not de-
mand this clearing, hence uses no egg
shells.
With all due respect to the inventors,
it is probable that one who knows how
can make as good coffee with pot as
can be made with the fanciest gadget.
1t is here. as elsewhere, a matter Of
knowing how

Government Should Not
Pay Full Price for Utilities
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor of The Star:
Power corporations which have used
the streets and roads belonging to the
people for years, generated electricity for
mills per kilowatt hour and charged
consumers as high as 1872 cents per
kilowatt hour and spent only TX per
cent Of their gross receipts for opera
ton and maintenance now, because of
the. holding company bill, want to sell
their plants to the Government
President Roosevelt should see that
none OF our money is spent for the
l.4OO 100000 of watered stock of the
utility companies.
People who buy automobiles expect
to take loss when they sell them, re-
gardless of how long they own them.
When the saloons were voted out many
lost, but the Government did not help
them, so why should full price be paid
tor utility plants? JOHN RIGGLES.

than new products to cause the people
be they the ultimate consumers or the
investors, to loosen their frightened
purse strings Many, through fear cre-
ated by the uncertainty Of the admin
istrations next step, are holding what
they have. The failure to buy even
what might be termed necessities has
forced business to shorten sail, to con-
serve its reserve rations, reduced by in
creased taxes which have prevented the
building up Of rainy-d reserves.
Those having money to invest are
holding their ground. They are not dis
posed to risk their reserves, in the face
Of probability that there will be no divi-
dends or profits after the corporations
and business meg have paid the labor
and Government tax bills.
OF course, the development OF new
products would necessitate new machine
cry, which would help the durable goods
industry. But business complains now
that it cannot get operating capital
This recession is going to be stopped
from the other direction. 1t is going to
take more realization and less imagina-
ton, as Prof. Sprague declares. First,
there must be a definite statement from
the Government that it Is going to stop
lambasting business. Then u period OF
waiting during which business and the
investing public may regain their equi-
hbrium will be necessary to test the sim
cerity Of such statement. There should
follow, as concrete evidence of this sim
cerity, wholesome effort to reduce the
taxes on business so that it will have
something to offer the investor. In
turn the investor will open his safety
deposit box, which will enable business
to employ people at wages which will
enable them to buy those things they
need, and then, if the cycle is allowed
to continue, to buy those new things of
which Prof. Sprague tells.

Objects to Expansion
Program for Navy

To the Editor Of The Star:
Why do We need an eightv-million-
dollar naval expansion program? Why
do we need superdreadnaughts and
other defensive" armaments? Is it be-
cause We are afraid that Japan. on the
verge of bankruptcy and therefore in
ternal troubles. would attack us with
her smaller fleet which would obviously
be less efficient than in her home waters
when 5000 miles from its base? Or are
we afraid Japan will take the Philippine
Islands from us as we aggressively took
them from Spain? What have we gained
from those islands except headaches?
Are they worth one billion dollars
worth OF naval expansion now to the
taxpayer and twenty-five billion in an
actual war to defend them?
The Navy's top-ranking officer said
THE British Navy is much more pow
erful than ours at present Perhaps
Admiral Leahy did not know that al
though the British Navy has more ships
than ours, the ships are all run by oil,
and that in the entire British Empire
there is only Is per cent of the world S
Oil supply, or enough TO run the British
Navy for six weeks at most, whereas
this country contains "a per cent of the
worlds supply. Under these circum-
stances. the British could not continue
any war for long if We should be. hostile
to them.
AS for other European nations, is it
likely that, feeling and propaganda run
ming as high as they are in Europe
any OF those nations would entertain the
fatal idea of sending their fleet 5000
miles away into the zone of the Wealth.
est country of the world? Why then is
the President advocating this waste of
money on an increase in an already
large enough Navy for purely defense
purposes of the United States when the

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.
How many cups Of coffee do you drink

How many cups Of coffee do you drink
a day?
The championship of the District Of
Columbia is believed held by q fellow
who consumes 48 cups OF Mocha and
Java per diem. He is q merchant.
Another man, IN the Navy, drinks 26
cups, OH an average.
From these heights. ordinary mortals
descend by easy stages to 20, is, q mere
~, and to 8, the average
The point Is that nobody Just drinks
one cup day.
There Is something about this popular
beverage that calls for more, In the best
Oliver TWiStian fashion.
Its friends say because it Soothes and
cheers; its enemies assert that it is
habit forming, and nothing more.
Take your choice; it seems clear that
anything mankind likes runs the danger
Of attracting him too much.
Hence the world suffers at this hour
from too many books. too many songs.
too many motor cars, too many acci-
dents
And some will say too many cups Of
coffee.
In the days when this beverage was
introduced into London it was called the
"sOoty' drink, which perhaps gives a
better idea of how they made it then
than any description.
Coffee has been called the intellectual
drink. because it is supposed to help in
the flow OF ideas.
There seems to be something in this
1t is a favorite habit of writer's of all
sorts to indulge in cup of coffee before
beginning. Few beginnings are as hard
as in writing The lead as newspaper
men call it, is the difficult part; once
begun, the legend is. the rest of it comes
along naturally. 1t is a cheering idea,
anyway.
One Of the best things about coffee
drinking is that it is leisurely habit
Anything which makes for sloWness
Of pace, in this age. has its uses
Because Of the heat, coffee must be
taken slowly.
This makes for talk, and talk stirs up
the mental processes.
Just how much of the charm OF this
beverage is due to the soothing warmth,
and how much due to the caffeine con-
tent is best left to the experts to wrangle
over.
1t is curious thing that here. as with
watches and thermometers. no two people
agree as to what is good coffee.
One likes it strong and black,
another weak and light
OF the ways Of making it there seems
to be no end
mechanical age has evolved
eadgets for making coffee which re-
semble a cross between locomotive and
a distillers apparatus.
Some people are willing to swear that

washed.
The latest finding seems to be to keep

Medicine Men Seek Privacy
When Concocting Nostrums
To the Editor Of The Star:

Az thV AoiteI Vi 1HS 6tAT.
Mr.. Roosevelt remarked at one of his
recent press conferences that the cor
respondents and their papers were excit-
ing feeling OF fear throughout the
country. He then added he won
dered why they would do such thing"
So does every one wonder why. That Is,
every one wonders except the millions
who laughed outright at the absurdity
OF the remark.
TIL reason why so many OF the repre-
sentatives OF the press are persona non
grata at the White House Is that these
boys are SO darn snoopy. Also they
have been around quite bit and they
have lot OF common sense. They have
disgusting habit Of keeping their feet
on the ground and their heads out of
the clouds. They also ask embarrassing
questions.
When the medicine men of this ad-
ministration are cooking up potful of
quack nostrums they want privacy The
newspaper boys cramp their style. Med
icine men are alike in that respect the
world over. Even those of East Africa
and our own Indian medicine men re-
quired privacy in order to make strong
medicine
Why, when I was boy down on the
Eastern Shore OF Maryland there was u
powerful, big black fellow named Big
Jim Hargis He was a conjurer He,
like the New Dealers, could cure any,
thing from marital unfaithfulness to
ringWorm or drought. Also like the New
Dealers he had lot OF people believing
he could do it and actually paying him
their good money.
Big Jim's cabin sat In a small clear
ing in big woods, and, SO fearsome was
Jlm's reputation, we boys gave it wide
BERTH Well, sir. one day l was picking
huckleberries and inadvertently wan
dered to within hundred feet of the
dread spot. My ears were suddenly as
sailed by weird chant Parting the
bushes and peering through, strange
sight met my fascinated gaze There
was old Jim stirring something that was
boiling in an iron pot over bed of
Goals. Bringing the chant to an abrupt
close the big fellow took Tin box from
his pocket and from it sprinkled gray
lsh powder into the pot. All OF this to
the accompaniment OF u different but
none the less eerle chant. Glancing
furtlVely around the conjurer walked to
nearby persimmon tree At that mo-
ment l received the shock Of my young
life. Hanging by its fail from limb
OF the tree was the biggest black snake
ever saw. Its throat had been cut and
its blood was dripping into a huge clam
Shell. Taking up the shell full OF blood
Jim went back to the boiling pot and
Squatted over II. He then began sprln-
king the snake blood into the pot, all
the time muttering an unintelligible
mumbo jumbo.
In my eagerness not to miss anything
I leaned too tar forward and crashed
through the bush. With look of fury
Big Jim was after me- At intervals. as
we sped through the woods he bel
lowed dreadful threats l shall never
forget one of the least unpleasant of
these: He assured me he was going to
cut out my liver and fry it and eat it..
A good pursuit plane in perfect condi-
tlon might have caught me that day,
but not Jim.
No. sir, medicine men don't like to be
bothered when they are cooking up
quack nostrums for gullible people

tightening break which will start all the
