THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Windy days, such as autumn knows.
bring a particular problem to those per-
sons whose eyelids easily admit parti-
cles Of dust.
They must think about the matter.
from now on, for bits Of dust and dirt
are no respectors Of persons.
This is just 30 much additional think
ing In a world in which 1t seems some
times that there is entirely too much
thinking already.
Who Is there who has not, upon occa-
sion, thought he would like to 20 to Bali
or Tahiti, or some other place where
the present problems of civilized hu-
manity are not quite 30 uppermost?
Now the careful person with wide-open
eyes. physically speaking, must add an
other small problem to his many cares.
q problem with which many will have
little sympathy. and no understanding,
their eyelids and eyes being built upon
different and no doubt better plans.
Gnats. another fall specially, always
insist on getting in some eyes.
Tiny insects Of varying species flnd
nothing more attractive.
The glitter Of the eye is what attracts
them.
They will fight for admittance, and
will not be denied, provided only that
the person SO attacked refuses to pay
any attention to them. Then they are
sure to get in.
But our wise civilian, who must add
Just this very duty to his already clamor-
Gus duties, knows his gnats from old.
He keeps hand waving in front of
his face.
This procedure discourages even the
most persistent Of these buzzing, erratic
insects.
Warm fall days usually bring them out,
especially II the house is being painted.
Gnats and the like love just one
thing better than human eye, and that
Is 4 fine coat Of paint.
They do not know that the sticky stuff
means their end.
They simply respond to the glitter, and
in they 90.
The outer coat of the eye is moist and
somewhat sticky, too. It attracts. and
1t holds. The holding Is q special dis
pensation. 1t makes sure that the for
eign body does not move around too
much.
This prevents small particles OF steel
and other metals from scratching the
eyeball, or getting into the pupil.
Nature tries to wash out all such mat
ter. and often does so although it may
take overnight.
There are few physiological processes
neater in design and execution than this
Something Is in the eye.
The victim. who usually has had
great deal Of experience along these lines,
knows better than to poke and jab.

Pauline Frederick.

A talented, charming and memorable
lady departed from the world Of the
theater yesterday when Pauline Fred
erick died. True, she belonged to 4
period now definitely terminated. Few
Of the present generation of stage and
screen fans ever saw her act. But the
oldsters knew and appreciated her genius
well enough to wish to recall her with
gratitude.
Miss Frederick was Boston born and
largely self-taught. 1t therefore might
be said that she was Enthusiastically
American. Yet her stately beauty, her
queenly manner, especially her beautiful
voice suggested European background.
The roles she essayed with most notable
success likewise contributed to the legend
OF foreign training and experience. But
the myth was merely kind Of tribute
to her artistry. She had the power to
seem an alien when that was demanded
OF her, yet she remained from first to
last native star, proud of her country
and devoted to its people.
Her own life was not happy, but she
never complained. Indeed, 1t was instinct
with her to preserve unaffected a natural
dignity with which she appeared to have
been endowed by heredity. 1t may be
that she was an actress on both sides of
the footlights. If so, the public was not
dlspleased. Those who enjoyed the
privilege of her friendship admired her
courage, her enthusiasm, her loyalty to
her work and to her fellow players, her
faith in herself and in human beings
IN general. Strangers felt her power
were stimulated by 1t, realized that it
was compelling in It's quality, gladly
yielded to its forcefulness and ma iestv
Miss Frederick did not attain the
celebrity OF Bernhardt and Duse, but
she earned a place close to them in the
history OF the theater. None of the
thousands who watched her career
through Joseph and His Brethren I"
innocent" "zaza, la Tosca madame
X and Bella Donna" will forget her
effort.

Twenty Years Ago
The World Var Day by Day
September 70, 1918.

Moeuvres, miles northwest Of Cam
brai, was recaptured by the British.
Benay, south Of st. Quentin. was taken
by the French. Northwest of that town,
Haig's troops advanced more than
mile. The Allies grip on st. Quentin
was Tightening.
= American field hospitals were bonn
barded, eight wounded men being killed.
Heavy guns were moved up by rail by
the American artillery and bombarded
Metz for the first time. German counter
attacks north Of A1lemant were beaten
OF with heavy losses.

The f1nal chapter Of that thrilling DO
litical serial, THE Great Purge" is being
written today with the scene laid in
New York City. AS advance copies have
not been distributed it is impossible to
foretell the climax, but it is at least cer-
tain to be interesting.

Trade Pacts and Peace.

In welcoming 1000 industrial execu-
tives and scientific experts to the sew
enth triennial session Of the Interna-
tional Management Congress, Secretary
Hull took advantage Of q superior oppor-
tunity to make an appeal for his
reciprocal trade program as 4 factor for
peace.
Gathered here for the discussion Of
common problems, the delegates, repre-
senting twenty-one countries, are the
articulate and influential members OF
their respective business communities.
As such they are fertile soil for the seed
Of trade reciprocity planted by the Sec
retary Of State.
That Mr.. Hull chose to re-emphasize
before such a gathering the vital con-
nection between economic conditions and
peace sheds light upon the fact that
the function of the Hull policy as q
corrective for the worlds economic ills,
and therefore spur to peace, is pledi-
Gated upon It's acceptance as a rule Of
conduct by other governments.
The Hull policy operating bilaterally
between the United States and number
OF other countries would scarcely scratch
the surface of needed economic appease-
ment But, adopted by every country
in the world in its relations with every
other, the policy would soon have tre-
mendous results in stimulating world
trade, raising standards of living and
reducing the almost universal problem
Of unemployment
Even II the policy were to be applied
by only the 18 countries with which the
United States already has trade agree
ments in force, the worldwide benefits
would be surprising. But the conversion
has been slow and painful, and trade
reciprocity with the purpose ct sweeping
away obstacles to world trade remains
distinctly American policy.
Where other countries have forsaken
economic nationalism In trade pacts
with the United States, it has been on
the promise of profitable bargain. the
hope Of an improved market here. They
are slow, however, to alter their entire
economic systems to At the reciprocal
trade policy.
One Of the greatest contributions man.
agement congress delegates can make to
world economic appeasement is to spread
the gospel Of economic liberalism in
their own countries, urging their re-
spective governments to take up the
cause Of reciprocal lowering of trade
barriers as their own.
Only by gathering momentum among
the nations can the Hull policy be Of
substantial assistance In providing the
basis for peace. So far the results in
this direction have been disappointing.
A well-remembered resident of WASH
ington, head OF local society, was ac-
customed to conduct its meetings with
the formula II move, second and carry"
such and such a proposition. He would
have been a capable understudy for Herr
Hitler In the conduct of European affairs.

Says Sudetens Are Victims
OF Czech Tyranny.
To the Editnr nf The atar

says SuoetenS Are victims
OF Czech Tyranny.
To the Editor Of The Star:
THE current embrogiio in Czechoslo-
vakia is Of intense interest to the
student Of political science. Perhaps
never before in history has 1t been more
dramatically shown that a majority in
a democratic state can establish a vir-
tual tyranny over minority groups, even
though those minorities have the doubt
full privilege Of occasionally casting their
votes at the polls.
Friends Of the present Czechosloyak
state like to refer to 1t as "the bastion of
democracy in Central Europe" A de-
mocracy-yes, for the ruling caste of
Czechs. but what about such groups as
the 3,5OOOOO Germans who now hear the
rumble OF Czech tanks and the bark Of
Czech machine guns in villages that
have been German for generations? For
them czech democracy must be
hollow phrase, indeed.
There Is considerable comment in this
country to the effect that the German,
Hungarian and Polish minorities in
SAeSAASAoHdAih are CQe DeSC-CreaCeQ NIL
nor1ties in Europe" This is sheer non
sense, as a moments reflection will con-
vince any reasonable person. What
about the French and italian minoritieS
in Switzerland, predominantly Ger
man state? They are certainly not
groaning under the yoke of the German
majority, as the Czech minorities are
suffering under the heel Of q ruthless
military regime.
If it is true that the Czech government
Is all sweetness and light and "democ-
racy," as some quarters would have us
believe, why are almost lve million hu-
man beings 50 anxious to declare their
independence from q tyranny that can
maintain its existence only by the grace
Of Skoda heavy artillery and Brenn ma
chine guns?
A growing body of American opinion
sympathizes with the gallant Sudetens
IN their struggle against the Czech terror,
especially when we remember our own
fight against English domination. Hen
lein has been declared a traitor to the
Czechoslovak state. Then by the same
token George Washington was a traitor
to his English king. c. j. ELWELL.

Peg Upon Which to Hang
Money Value Proposed.
To the Editor Of The Star:


IT IS obvious that the coming Congress
will see increased pressure for none
tary reforms and that grave dangers
lurk in many Of the measures being
proposed. But cannot the repetition Of
the historic dificulties with imitation be
avoided by careful, If heretical think
ing?
In all the heated grist of money re-
form IDEAS one thing seems to have
been almost universally overlooked, viz,
that when price level is glibly re-
ferred to as something to be maintain
ed by \ "sdentihc" money system so
that the money unit shall always repre-
sent the sane real value" there has
not been even a modicum Of agreement
or understanding as to what Is meant by
the real value" whose price level Is
to be maintained.
How, indeed, can a sheer artifice.
money. be brought to reflect a constant
measurement n value for trading pur-
poses If no knswn constant in value ex-
lists. nor even any meaning be assigned
to "value" that, can be defined? With
out an identified value standard which
is itself a constant in the human econ
omy (end gold sr other coinage has GER
tainly proved itself to be no such stand
ard the ATTEMPT to hang money on a
constant-value Hg seems about as sensi-
BILE gesture as hat of the clowner who
pretends to hant his hat on a pegless
wall
If there be no constant in real value
there can be nshe in the value" Of
money. But evei If a constant in real
value can be ideltined it can never be
maintained in itat price by the method
of fitting supply to demand" because
neither values, nd even prices, are de-
termined by suppv and demand. They
are normally determined by human BIZ
ology and the resultant natural rate Of
interest on the dae hand and by the
quantity of monet being spent on the
other.
OF course, relative prices Of various
commodities and srvices are dependent
in part upon "suppy and demand" But
changes In money value do not affect
all prices alike and simultaneously. So
even these inter-reltivities in prices are
distorted and rendsed disparate or in
equitable as between agriculture and in
dustry. for.instance not by monopoly,
but by unstable mo,ey. For these rea-
sons, all too briefly utlined. no general
or retail index Of priSs can be employed
as a standard Of Vlue for monetary
procedure.
A moving annual average of staple
farm crop prices is terefore suggested
as an available peg pon which money
values may be hung b, adequate quanti-
tative controls. AID A. POTTER.
