And there you have John Herrick,

rious sense of humor and the heart
of a little child. His way with all
was wonderful. Duchess, steward
and scullion-he was at ease with
the lot; and they with him. What is
more, he inspired affection. 1t gave
him pleasure to make his neighbors
glad: and his neighbors recognized
this and thanked God for such a
man. Upon what I owe him myself,
I will not insist, for I think these
pages have shown that, but for his
present help, I could have done
nothing at all and Elizabeth must
have been broken and Percy Virgil

No vengeance was his, and three
times he missed the battle for which

too little from first to last, and yet
he never complained, but kept his
eyes upon his duty and did it with
all his heart. No servant was ever
more faithful or gave fuller meas
ure than Winter did, and it gives
me lasting pleasure to think that to
some extent he found his fortune
with me-for Brenda will make a
fine wife and Raven is his idea of

her faults: but I am thankful for
these, for otherwise she would be
too good to be true. Her beautiful
features have lost their wistful look,
and gayety, long confined, is now
at large to leaven her dignity: but
her ways are as gracious as ever,
her gaze is as level, her shining
head is as high, and, though I know
her so well, I never can lose the
impression that she in fact belongs
to the age of chivalry, for she has in

Voting Usually Reflects
Sentiment of the People

So the circumstances as we have
seen fail to do credit either to the
President, or the senate Republicans
or the senate New Dealers. It was
a pretty low grade of politics, but
it disclosed one thing: there is rath-
er large representation in the house
and the senate which has tagging
confidence in Mr.. Roosevelt. Now,
pursuing that further, I have noted
the usual voting of house and SEN
ate rather reflects the sentiment
throughout the country.
I think this lack of confidence in
Mr.. Roosevelt is further shown by
the long drawn-out battle over what
powers the President should have in
dealing with International problems.
Mr.. Roosevelt has asked for rights
that would let him designate ''war
zones" and would permit him to
order Americans away from them.
He has sought to obtain legislative
| authority to sell arms and munitions
| if they are sold for cash and car
ried away from our shores by boats
of the purchasing nation.
Some of the things he has sought
seem to me to be reasonable, but
the house has not thought so, and
expect the senate will have many
words to say about them also. There
| is so much stalling and maneuver-
| ing and efforts to save political faces
that certain conclusions are inescap-
able. I referred to the lack of con-
fidence in Mr.. Roosevelt displayed
in several ways. It is perhaps more
manifest with respect to the neu-
trality question than in any other
way. Indeed, it has been gossiped
around Capitol Railways for a couple
of months that congress will not adj
| journ as long as international crises
are popping around like firecrack-
ers. That, of course, is an exag-
| geration; but it is not exaggeration
! to say that considerable number
| Of senators and representatives do
not want to leave Mr.. Roosevelt an
entirely free hand in international

Candies Glow

Do you recall the candles glow,
The dancing shadows on the wall,
The tiny fame that trembled
In the soft, dark breath of Night?
Fantastic shapes marched to and fro
Like phantoms in the quiet room,
Like silent ghosts amid the gloom;
They stalked beyond the golden flame
In the somber candlelight.
Our hands were clasped in childish fear
AS we sat in darkness there.
And visioned strange shapes rising
From the candles magic light.
Yet when the phantoms came so near
That we could touch them in the gloom
They were but shadows in the room,
Made by the tiny candle flame
In the soft, dark breath of Night.

Supports Judge Curran
In Taxicab Curb.

To the Editor of The Star:
Judge Edward M. Curran is believed
to be 100 per cent right in his conclu-
sion that too large percentage of taxi
cab drivers in our city appear to feel
that their rights on the streets are SUI
perior to the rights of others. In his
efforts to curb drivers having such un-
warranted superiority complexes he
should have the support of all fair
minded persons. Repeatedly do 1 OBJ
serve taxicab drivers making turns
from wrong traffic lanes, soaring or
halting pedestrians crossing intersections
on proper signals, disregarding traffic
signs or lights and footing horns with a
seeming notion that other motorists
should climb curbs to get out of the
way for the horn tooters.
Unfortunately, not all followers of
those undesirable and menacing prac-
tices are taxicab drivers. Members of
other groups stoop to such practices The
lnconsiderate drivers of light de-
livery trucks also need to be brought
into line with good and safe traffic prac-
tices. Education is one of the preferable
methods of effecting Improvements but
it is perfectly evident to some of us
struggling with a program to promote
traffic safety practices through educa-
ton that our efforts are mostly wasted
when We encounter the motorist, who is
unwilling to absorb ideas for the good
of himself and the general public.
He is handled best through rigid en-
forcement or a revocation of his right
to drive and a trip to Occoquan If he
drives after revocation of his license.
Strictly speaking, license to drive is
not vested right but is merely privi-
lege for exercise during the good be-
havior of the grantee and revocable
when behavior ceases to be good.
1t is my intention to press some of
these views at the September meet
ing of the Traffic Advisory Council and
it is not doubted that the same will re-
ceive sympathetic attention.

So 1t goes.
This has undoubtedly been a great

At the present time it is impossible to
be sure which is which among the

their colors, that it is extremely diff
cult to tell males and females apart.
Probably the flashiest bird picture in
