Clitheros Have
 Potato Masher Antique Bed

Russell Clithero, traffic manager for the Alaska Air Transport, and husband to a woman who "loves" antiques, today is dubiously regard ing the prospect of sleeping in a three quarters of century old bed known as potato masher."
 The Clitheros recently received a shipment of antiques they had in storage in the States. They are heirlocms and antiques collected by Mrs. Clithero and her family.
 Included in the collection is an cid melodion, forerunner to the pi- ano, spool bed, and tables and chairs to match-as well as potato masher bed.
 Ciihero explained the potato masher bed is a four poster giving the potato masher effect. The springs are ropes, but Clithero has his eye on Simmons mattress and springs in their place.
 The spool bed is understood to be decorated with objects of wood that appear to be spools.

Spencer Allen, general manager, IS endeavoring to undermine the mill sufficiently to force Linda Gale to sell out at a low price.
 Besides the excellent performances by Terry and Miss Keith, outstand- ing jobs are done by Mana Bryant, John Gallaudet, Frank c. Wilson, Marc Lawrence, Russell Hicks and others of fine supporting cast. An other chapter of Jungle Jim" the thrilling serial, will also be shown.

For American Trade.

The decision of the Export Import
Bank to enter the Latin American field
in order to stimulate expectation of
American products to the sister re-
publics of the south will prove timely
and urgently needed supplement to the
nine reciprocal trade agreements now
In force between the United States and
Latin countries.
Traceable to the trade agreements
has been decided improvement in this
countrys trade relations with the twenty
other republics of this hemisphere. Even
further the Hull program has impelled
those republics to cleanse trade relations
between themselves of some unhealthful
economic practices, for the principle of
reciprocity is infectious.
The concrete evidence Of the work of
the Export-Import Bank in expanding
exports will be manifest in trade figures
for coming months and years. But that
work has an intangible aspect in the
effect it will have upon the struggle be-
tween the United States and the total

ought to be done" to put floor under
and a ceiling over the toiling masses.
What finally was agreed to was nobody's
baby.
In October, however, the law will go
into action. Then, and presumably only
then, will people begin to commence to
start to be interested in it. Some en-
ployes, uncritically, will be delighted to
find that they receive not less than
twenty-five cents an hour and are not
allowed to labor more than forty-four
hours a week. Others, gradually, will
notice that prices are rising in propor-
tion to their increased wages and lei
sure-or that employment opportunities
of every kind are fewer than before. The
Supreme Court may or may not give
the thing its blessing. Meanwhile, an
other experiment will be tried out, cost
what 1t may.
But the historian is not waiting. He
sees clearly enough that political au-
thority over industry and business has
been extended in behalf of "the uplift
or the social-worker point of view" And
he records the alleged improvement"
with a smile-because he knows from
his reading of the annals of the human
race that never yet has anybody peen
able to please everybody very long, even
by compromise.

Wages and Hours Act.

The new wages and hours law may be
excellent legislation Perhaps, as its
original sponsors insisted, it will have a
magical effect upon American civiliza-
tion. 1t may accomplish a veritable
partnership between capital and labor.
Perhaps it may achieve harmony hith-
erto undreamed in the relations between
producers and consumers. It may be
heaven on earth.
But not one individual in ten thou
sand understands it, has read it, thought
about it, considered how it was drawn
and passed. A mere handful of poll
ticians conceived and generated it. The
average member of Congress could not
explain it if his life depended on an
inteiligible exposition of its provisions.
1t fixed hours of work and wages to be
paid without regard for the wishes of
the vast majority of the population.
The manufacturers to be coerced and the
hired hands theoretically to be bene-

Letters to The Star
Circles Not Intended
By L'Enfant.


BY L'Enfant.
To the Editor of The Star:
A T LAST the prestige of President
Roosevelt has stopped, temporarily
at least. the building of an underpass in
Thomas Circle. I see no indication that
WaShingtonians have advised them
selves concerning the fundamental
principles of roadways at street inter-
sections They speak reverently of
L'Enfant. They hold him responsible
for the design of Washington. His
beautiful tomb, conspicuously placed in
Arlington, testifies to his genius. Yet
we ignore him in practice.
L'Enfant said that at the intersec-
tons now called circles there should be
conspicuous monuments of beauty and
inspiration, lofty so as to be seen from
one circle to the next and far down all
approaching streets.
Only in the Washington and Lincoln
Monuments and the statue of Sherman
does Washington thus respect its heroes.
And the Sherman Monument can be
seen only from Fifteenth street and
near the Willard Hotel From else
where one sees a great block of stone.
The statue above is lost in the colors
of the trees, west and southwest.
LEnfant did not plan any circle
north Of Pennsylvania avenue and only
two west of the Capitol-Washingto
Circle, then in the outskirts, and an
other in distant Georgetown. Thomas
Circle was. roughly, right-angle tri-
angle. In other words, the central area
was just as it was left by the intersect-
ing streets. He didn't conceive of later
generations bringing dirt In to lessen the
needed area for traffic. He did not elm
mate easy turns and conveniences by
requiring vehicles to keep in the center
and to go around narrow points of earth
that have no significance except to keep
the contour of choking circle. Dupont
Circle was an oblong square with an ex-
tension like the toe of boot along
Thirteenth street Scott Circle was an
oblong square and Logan Circle long
right-angle triangle. 1t is so in London
with it's seven million people famous for
its circles. there called circuses There

all rules is not applied in Washington.
Thomas Circle will be Infinitely better
and congestion relieved if the inner
sidewalk is put just inside instead of out
side the outer circle of trees, where
there is ample room for it. This will
give some "a feet more roadway. Thomas
Circle has two monumental buildings,
churches. But stand on the steps of the
Christian Church and behold how ugly
is the rest of the architecture. Foreign
cities make their small circles and
squares as architectually beautiful and
consistent in design as the diadem of

Every home has its housekeeping
time when mother looks for dust in
corners and all possible means of i'm
provement. To do this with good will
and enthusiasm would be good for

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Along with the interest in swing music.
two~revivals in the popular field hold
interest for music lovers.
Young people suddenly have discov-
cred that Strauss wrote wonderful
WaltzeS, and that Hawaiian music Is in
class by itself.
since both OF these are straight mu-
sic, as it is sometimes called or sweet
music" as others prefer, it argues we'll
for the continuity of a great musical
tradition.
Ihose who are all hot and bothered
about swing" need not worry-rhythm,
melody and harmony still hold the fort,
despite the best efforts of the mod
erniSts.
Hawaiian music, particularly, catches
and holds the affection of all who fall
beneath its sway.
Basically simple, composed of honest
musical ingredients, with themes seldom
descending to Stiffness, as so many of
our own popular tunes do, the typical
music of the islands wins us because it
is our music, after all.
Yet there is polynesian touch to it
that gives it that exotic appeal which
ll.
Hawaiian words help immensely.
Like all such appeals, this one always
has its reaction. The listener either
grows tired OF 1t, or manages to find it
far too simple, musically, to hold his in
terest.
He will be all the more amazed, there
fore, after an absence, to find that the
deep thrum of the typical Hawaiian band
is as much part Of his musical blood
as the symphonies of Beethoven.
X X
The whole world took part in Hawaii's
musical development. Unlike other
south sea groups, such as Bali and
Siam, Hawaii has a music based upon
missionary hymns. changed to original
compositions by native genius, and upon
Portugals guitar, also changed by the
genius of native experimentation
The steel guitar, as it is called, with
It's Wa1llng notes, is a genuine bit of
genius.
This sound, with the steady beat of
accompanying guitars, played in the
regulation manner, together with the
soft sounds of the ukulele, is what gives
this music its distinctive exotic appeal.
There was never anything like it In
the world before
1t is too bad that Ludwig Beethoven
could not have lived to hear Hawaiian
music. No doubt he would have given
us a symphony based upon its themes
The material is there.
Hawaiian symphony, opus 400, No. /,
by Ludwig van Beethoven. 1t would
have been worth hearing
X X
That great composer would not have
sneered, but would have been as inter-
ested as he was in some of the rounds
and catches" of his own times, which
later he incorporated in some of his
most learned compositions.
