Motorist.P PEDESTRIAN Finds
Only Jaywalking Is Safe
To the Editor OF The Star;

To the Editor Of The Star:
While walking to work this morning
l had two narrow escapes from wild mo-
torlsts making right-hand turns. When
l think OF similar incidents in the past,
l conclude that I possess either
charmed life or an uncanny ability to
revert to side-stepping tactics learned on
a school gridiron.
This current talk about pedestrian
control and the jaywalking menace in
censes me no little. because I am both
motorist and a pedestrian and I know
what both are up against, and it is my
hrm conviction that any corrective and
restrictive measures should be aimed not
at the pedestrian but squarely at the
motorist. I am perfectly willing to cross
an intersection with the green signal if
I can do so with safety. but how can this
be possible when vehicular traffic uses
the same signal to make right and left
turns, oftentimes marooning the pedes-
trian in the middle of the street as the
lights change? This has occurred to me
so many times until find many inter-
sections can be crossed more expedi-
tlously and with greater safety on the
req light An example is Pennsylvania
avenue at Thirteenth street NV. Given
the green signal, one does not dare ven-
ture out on the street unless he wants
to take issue with the steady stream Of
cars rounding the corner-the outcome
OF which is easily predictable. On the
red light, however, one can usually cross
without difficulty. If this makes one
jaywalker, 1t is all right with me, because
I would rather be live jaywalker and
cross on the red than dead pedestrian
who waited for the green.

Retirement of a Jurist.

The retirement from the Supreme
Court Of Associate Justice Sutherland
will remove from the bench jurist who
has rendered distinguished service to his
adopted country. Born in England, he
was brought to the United States as
child by his parents and grew to man.
hood in what was then the undeveloped
West. Before receiving his appointment
to the Supreme Court fifteen years ago,
Justice Sutherland had seen service in
the Utah Legislature, in the House OF
Representatives and in the Senate.
During his service on the court he
has advocated a strict construction of
the Constitution and has been a devoted
champion of the Bill of Rights. In pass
ing on the validity OF statute there
was, to his mind. no room for COM
promise with expediency. IF the pro-
visions of the Constitution be not upheld
when they pinch as well as when they
comfort" he once said, "they may as
well be abandoned

judicial scene will be loss in a very

1t has wide authority to propose modi-

intended to pacify the Jews, whose main
lament was that the original proposal
would deprive them of control of Jeru-
salem, seat of the great Hebrew Univer-
Sity and other cherished Zionist cul-
tural institutions. The long delay which
must ensue before a substitute plan is
evolved may encourage Jews and Arabs
to patch up their ancient differences,
but the White Paper envisions ultimate
partition as the inevitable alternative to
a demonstrably unavoidable mandate.

How Many Americans
Are Now UNEMPLOYED?
To the Editor Of The Star !;

TO the Editor Of The Star:
There is one thing now being printed
that gives me high blood pressure and
that Is unemployment data That state
ment that between 7822,912 and 10,87O,-
600 Americans were out of work in No
vember. How, in the world, do we know
how many Americans were out OF work
at that time? There was no distinction
between citizen and the unnaturalized
on the cards sent out Surely the un-
naturalized cannot be called Americans.
I do not doubt that large number of
aliens are listed in the millions out of
work. Well do remember when un-
employment was at its peak and how 1t
was then pointed out that several million
foreigners were in the idle class. The
American citizen was the sufferer at that
time. The true American was too proud
to ask for relief until absolutely neces-
sary. What about the unnaturalized.
did they seek relief at once and get it?
Just ask the fellow who knows. I wish
some one big enough would come across
and insist on legislation to protect Amer
ican citizens from the influx of cheap
foreign labor.

the weather has been what is commonly
called open.
This has meant that the fresh new
blades OF all fall-sown grass have had
every opportunity to grow and thrive.
Real growth means root growth.
Yet the days have been so mild, COM
paratively speaking, that the grass blades
have received plenty of warmth and
sunshine and enough rain to carry them
along.
All this contributes to root growth.
Another helpful factor Is negative-tree
roots are dormant and therefore do not
take away food from the grass.
Often the failure OF autumn planted
grass seed has hinged on too early cold
spell, which in turn usually means an
intensely dry spell.
Fresh grass cannot stand these mimi
cal factors, but probably no real harm
would be done If the root growth were
established.
When cold and ice come in early De-
cember, even seed sown in late August
has not time to get going well.
When practically the whole end of the
year is added to the growing season,
the roots have had time to get well estab-
lished.
The hope is that from now on no
amount Of bad weather can kill the roots.
1t Is upon this new grass that an
average lawn must depend for future
freshening
Even lawns into which no seed Is
poured by the owner get a great deal
OF fresh grass just the same. Nature,
in her wisdom, takes care of that The
home gardener, over the centuries, is a
comparatively new creature. Nature does
not know whether she can depend upon
him or not. So she does not trust him
too far. She continues right along with
her old tested ways. That is why some
amateurs in the past have been able to
sneer at the idea of fall-sown seed.
Nature was working for them, though
they gave her no credit.
49, 4x
Ice and snow and cold. from now on,
ought to leave most OF the new grass
in good root shape for early spring
growth.
That is the theory of fall planting,
and, with any fortune at all, that is the
way it works out.
Much depends upon whether harsh
winds have been too drying.
Little if any aid can be given a lawn
with the garden hose In winter. Who,
indeed, ever heard Of any one watering
the grass in winter?
1t just isn't done.
The time may come when 1t is o. K.
In gardening sense, but so far in the
centuries the gardener out with his hose
in January would be regarded as balmy
as the Englishman who first introduced
the umbrella in London.
There is little question that water
should be given evergreens when they
get dry. seasons notwithstanding.
No doubt If brave persons watered
their thuyas and hemlocks and spruces
during the winter, the passerby would
not see SO many brown and withered
specimens in spring and summer.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL,

It has been q good winter for grass.
Especially for fresh new blades which
sprang up last fall, following the sowing
Of seed.
Harsh weather in December would
have killed much of this new crop, but
to date the elements have been kindly,
fostering it well.
Hence many lawns look in better con-
dition in the new year than they had
previously for many winters.
This is always good news to the garden
lover, who must find little to do In the
yard at this time of year.
He is all the more likely, therefore,
to concentrate on the lawn. perennial
favorite Of the famous fireside gardener.
The term denotes the dreaming which
is done at this time of year.
Thinking, rather than dreaming, per-
haps.
Anything worth doing is worth think
ing about even dreaming about.
During the growing season OF spring
and summer there is so much to be done
outdoors that little time is left for any,
thing else.
So it is fortunate winter comes.
1t gives even the most enthusiastic
gardener. the mild nuisance kind, an
opportunity to straighten things out.
1t is all too true that many persons
get themselves into mental snarls be-
cause they won't do this.
They haven't time, they say.
TThev MONT "a ka tho firno fO Sfor 1o0l
and listen-to think, in other words
because they haven't the time.
1t all works out to vicious circle.
Like dumb, driven cattle" indeed, we
are. If we honestly haven't the time to
think bit, or. what is even worse. If we
will not give ourselves the time.
1t really is a good thing for the garden
ing hobby-it may be called that, with
no disrespect-that winter intervenes.
This would seem heavenly dispensa-
ton. then, and 1t is; it means that
whether the enthusiast likes it or not
he must slow down a bit, let his yard
alone, must think and dream, and so
plan.
Planning, fortunately, with any good
fortune at all, may be carried out very
nicely In small garden.
Whether it can be worked out on any
larger scale is matter for theorists and
politicians to quarrel over.
The yard is no place for fussing. It
Is place for making dreams come true
II
First, there must be some dream, some
Idea, to be carried out later.
Fireside gardening, as it is called, may
mean the planning of an entirely new
garden.
1t may mean making over an old one,
when the time comes.
1t may mean nothing more drastic
than digging up old outworn shrubs
and evergreens and putting in respec-
table new specimens.
1t may mean renovating a lawn.
r
1t has been very helpful thing that

decade. A conception Of the Constitu-
ton that held fast for generations has
been largely replaced by a new philoso-
ply. The question Is not whether this
new philosophy In an economic sense,
Is right or wrong. II the spirit OF de-
mocracy is to be served, 1t should be
given a trial unless violative OF our
fundamental law
1t is inevitable. however that men will
differ as to the meaning of the Con-
stitution. Justice Sutherland, as a con-
scientious man, could not and would not
accept the Interpretation of the admin
istration now in power. He had taken
an oath to support the Constitution as
he understood 1t, and his decisions simply
reflected his loyalty to- the duty imposed
by that oath.
Consequently, his decision to retire,
coming of his own free will and reached
under no political compulson, should not
be viewed by those who share his beliefs
as another element IN the dlsintegratlon
of the American state. but rather as
step in the normal functioning of
democracy.
At the same time, his retirement poses
challenge to the President. 1t is to be
expected that Mr. Roosevelt will nomi-
nate as successor to Justice Sutherland
man who agrees with the broad out
lines Of his own philosophy. If he goes
a step further and selects a nominee
whose judicial character and intellectual
integrity can match that of Justice
Sutherland he, too. will have made a
commendable contribution to the case
for democracy.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton.
A Light Sketch

Last night Jack Frost came again,
Etching on my window pane
Tendrils of fragile vine,
Daisy-stars and leaves Of pine:
All in glittering white he sketched them,
AS If from the woods he'd fetched them.
For the woods were clad in white;
Snow had fallen all the night,
Rimmed the bare boughs OF the trees
With an alabaster frieze;
Lightly snow had fallen on them;
Lightly Jack Frost breathed upon them.
But Aurora proclaimed morn,
And the winter day was born.
Up arose the merry sun,
Idly viewed the etching done,
Knew Jack Frost had lightly traced 1t,
Laughed; and with light rays erased It.

The Mask and the plav

In bygone days gentle dame
When to the theater she came,
Her blushes to conceal, would ask
Protection from a dainty mask.
A lady now sits in the throng
And hears rather shocking song,
Whose phrases she must not repeat;
Yet her composure is complete.
Her lipstick, rouge and powder puff
She wields; not much, but Just enough.
No doubt her blushes often glow.
It matters not. They do not show.
