Worlds Fairs and Peace.


In laying the corner stone of the Fed
eral Building at the New York Worlds
Fair yesterday, President Roosevelt
hailed the 1899 exposition, to be opened
next April, as symbol Of world peace
and "a useful advance on the patient
road to It," He dignified the fair in
these terms, he explained, because you
cannot hate man you know"
Nearly half hundred foreign nations
will exhibit at Long Island-including
all the important countries in the world
except Germany. The American people
will get to know" those countries, both
from the typical products Of their soil
and their industries to be displayed,
and from their nationals who come to
the exposition either as visitors or as
representatives of governments and
trades. The close personal contacts
with our citizens which will ensue, will
be friendship breeders of the sort Mr..
Roosevelt has in mind.
Close Acquaintance among peoples Of
different climes and civilizations is the
best preventive of those international

River Pollution.

President Roosevelt has vetoed a bill
which would have created a permanent
division in the Public Health Service
for the investigation of river and stream
pollution in the United States, but this
does not mean that he is not deeply
concerned over the problem of preserv-
ing the purity and beauty of the Nations
waterways.
Mr.. Roosevelt is not the only lover of
nature and wild life who found fault
with the measure passed by the last
Congress The local chapter of the Izaak
Walton League, for example, commends
the President for opposing a spending
bill" that would have cost the taxpayers
million dollars annually without any
guarantee of results. The league has
fought long and hard for Federal action
to purify streams, but it regarded the
recent bill as lacking in enforcement
provisions and as generally imprac-
ticable.
The river pollution problem continues
to perplex health, wild life conserva-
ton and recreational agency officials
in most parts of the country. The prob
lem long has been acute in the area
drained by the Potomac River water
shed, although some relief has been felt
in recent years as result Of sewage
disposal and commercial waste elimina-
tion projects undertaken along the river
and its tributaries. Some months ago
the District of Columbia began opera
ton of its new sewage disposal plant,
which has appreciably reduced local
pollution. In addition the city has built
various intercepting sewer systems to
aid in cleansing Rock Creek. Arlington
County not long ago completed a dis
posal plant for its new sewer system.
Other communities along the river have
taken steps to prevent or restrict the
dumping of raw sewage into the river.
Interest Of the Walton Leaguers arises
chiefly, Of course, out of the wholesale
destruction of fish by pollution Of waters
in the vicinity Of cities and towns. A
more serious phase is the danger to
health. While Washington's supply Of
water for drinking and bathing is care
fully and effectively purified, 1t is still
dangerous to swim in the Potomac.
Last year there was organized q
Potomac Valley Pollution Conference to
promote Federal and State cooperation
in ridding the Potomac watershed Of raw
sewage and industrial waste. Onhcials
Of four states-Virginia, West Virginia,
Maryland and Pennsylvania, have agreed
to join with District authorities in q
campaign to clean up rivers and streams
in the area.
Much of the cleaning up can be done
without necessity Of Federal legislation
or new bureaus. The conference can
render much-needed public service by
bringing to municipal and industrial
authorities along natures watercourses
full realization of the gravity of the
pollution situation, and a consciousness
Of their serious responsibilities to the
public in connection Herewith.

Remedy the Breakdown.


II the District Commissioners have
been as lax in their failure ito cooper
ate properly with the P. w. A." as
Secretary Ickes says they have been,
he would be fully justified in his indig-
nation over the threatened loss to the
District OF Columbia of $18000,00O in
P. w. A. projects. Needless to say, this
indignation would be shared by the tax
payers of the District who, in theory.
are represented by the Commissioners.
The important thing now, however,
Is not to Ak the blame for the tenn
porary breakdown in negotiations for
P. w. A. loans but to remedy that break
down as quickly as possible and take
the necessary steps that will enable con-
struction to begin within the time limit
specified in the law-namely, by jan
uary /. 1899.
Secretary Ickes on the other hand,
should be formally told of certain
handicaps under which the District
functions in complying with p w. A..
requirements. The Commissioners, for
instance, are unable to prepare detailed
plans and specifications for projects
until they have the funds to engage
the necessary architectural and other
personnel. Unlike other municipalities
which can proceed Immediately on the
HaNiSinN nf tha oi~ o,,fL
to comply with all P. w. A. requirements
In plans and specifications, the District
Of Columbia does not possess a penny
for expenditure until Congress has ap-
propriated it.
But 1t is only short distance from
the District Building to Mr. Ickes' office.
1t would take only a few minutes for
the Commissioners to explain to Mr..
1ckes what they can do now and what
they are unable to do without extra
cash. half hours conference between

Is the welfare Of the District. the annoy
ing aspect Of the affair is that it was
permitted to have reached the stage
even Of temporary impasse. As Mr..
1ckes says, the Commissioners have been
dealing with p. w. A. long enough to
know its rules. And they have been
dealing with Mr.. 1ckes long enough to
know that he Is amenable to reason and
will not arbitrarily insist on the Com
missioners doing something that under
the law he knows they cannot do. The
whole matter indicates a certain lack
Of vigorous championing of the District S
case, due either to objectionable laxity
ut the District Building or in failure
to acquaint Mr.. 1ckes with the facts.
That Is water over the dam. The
thing to do now is to get things moving
again.

THIS AND THAT
B, CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL.

Dear Sir: The past two days We
have noticed with the other pigeons at
our bird feeder one entirely different.
Smaller, with q stiff white run and
heavily feathered legs.
"On the feet, standing out and trail
ing on the ground, are perfectly formed
wings, considerably larger than . spar
rows.
I'VE cannot find anything like it in
our Birds of America
do you know It?
We've been surprised, too, to see q
pair of chickadees on the window ledge,
as we thought they had gone north
with the titmice.
Contrary to the usual rule, We have
more birds feeding here In summer than
in winter. y
Grain and sundowers seed on one
ledge, for the cardinals. and robins, cat
birds and grackles come all day long
to the other for seedless raisins.
Sincerely M. p. c."
The fancy pigeon our correspondent
saw probably was black laced satinette.
Some of the tumbler pigeons have
Pigeons form q class Of feAthered
creatures which are somewhat slighted
by the average bird book, however large
and complete, for the following reason:
Pigeon types are varieties, h many OF
them created by man through intensive
breeding operations; they are not new
species, in the usual sense.
The world OF pigeons is q world all
its own one which exerts a tremendous
fascination on all who take 1t up, and
which has many ramiflcations.
Like most hobbies, this is one which
seems to have an endless appeal for
those who succumb to it, but exerts
little influence on those who do not.
Why one human fancies pigeons and
another does not is q question for the
psychologist as we'll as the sportsman.
1t Is common observance that people
who do not become interested in any
given species Of living creatures usually
wonder why others do. The truth Is
that every Zine" Of living creatures is
a study in itself
There are so many different pigeons
today that only . fancier can keep
up with them.
Probably the homers are the most
popular. There is something about
what they do which appeals nightly
to the average mind.
Most pigeons, however, possess some
portion Of this striking facility. They
can fly away for blocks, and always
get back to their roost.s

These are the birds which all kind
hearted persons who run free lunch
stands for the songsters usually f1nd
at the feeder some morning, thereafter
to be steady unlimited guests.
It is seldom that one has the oppor-
tunity to see aristocratic pigeons at
the station. Usually they are just big
fat fellows Of the ordinary kind able
to eat their weight in grain and seeds
in a days time.
Usually they are none too welcome,
but what can the bird fancier do about
them?
He realizes that these are birds. too,
and that they are very canny fellows,
able both to see and smell food for
long distances.
