Considers Smoke q Hazard
To Health of Washington.
To the Editor of The Star

40 tne EoitoI Oh Inc star.
Before lived in Washington I used
to hear of the beautiful white Govern
ment buildings and stone and marble
memorials. all kept glistening by the
absence of smoke and SCOT from soft
coal. I was told that only hard coal
was permitted, but evidently this is not
so. My first living quarters were ex-
posed to low chimney only S feet
away which poured out dense smoke all
winter long and at intervals every day
during the summer, making it necessary
to close my windows and even then
every nook and corner was covered with
black dust and SCOT. I have been told
that such conditions are not uncommon
elsewhere in the city. Large apartment
houses, and even Government buildings,
use low grade, run-of-the-mine soft coal
for heating purposes, with the result that
smoke and SCOT as well as dust from
unloading blackens screens and windows
all over the neighborhood.
So much for coal smoke. Tobacco
smoke is just about as bad. Thousands
Of Government employees sit daily in
poorly ventilated buildings whose whole
atmosphere is poisoned with offensive
smoke. Why should this be when health
ofncials exist to protect the citizens Of
Washington against all conditions de-
trimental to healths JUSTICE.

Two Names Missing From
willard Honor Tablet.
To the Editor Of The Stal

To the Editor OF The Star:
Passing the Willard, long established,
but still one of the notable Washington
hotels, note memorial tablet. It gives
the names of many famous men and
women who at one time or other So
journed there. The names of two very
distinguished personages I miss-John
George Nicolay d832-1901) and John
Milton Hay d838-1905). Both-were pri-
vate secretaries and later also biograph-
ers of Abraham Lincoln. They lived at
the Willard during part of his first ad-
ministration, moving there from the
White House. They were quite satisfied
to make the change. The LADY OF the
house." Mrs. Mary Todd Lincoln, was at
times very, very difficult" A run in"
with her was apt to give you q headache
for the rest Of the day. At the Willard
they escaped all that
Nicolay died as marshal Of the United
States Supreme Court-a position of
dignity. He had started out In life as
a German immigrant boy. As for Hay,
he rose to the heights-an international
figure. Ambassador to Great Britain,

A New Archdiocese

The creation OF the new arch
diocese Of Washington as announced
by the papal legate eliminates many
years Of discussion by leaders of the
Catholic hierarchy concerning the
advisability of such move. It well
can be interpreted as a direct recog-
milton by the Pope of the dignity
and Importance of Washington as
city as well as the Capital of the
Nation. Aside from its canonical
and administrative implications, the
establishment of new see is based
upon the Importance of a city in its
surrounding area.
Years before the death of the late
Cardinal Gibbons, the division of the
archdiocese of Baltimore to provide
a see OF Washington was proposed.
Various methods of accomplishing
this were put forth. One was for the
archbishop to divide his time equally
between the two cities, with a CO.
cathedral here. Another was to con-
secrate the papal legate to the United
States as Bishop of Washington.
There were canonical as well as ma
terial objections to all such proposals.
For one, the archdiocese of Balti-
more, which Is the oldest in the
United States and is the primatical
see of the country, is also one of the
smallest. 1t embraces only that
portion of Maryland west Of the
Chesapeake. Hence the action of the
Pope in designating the District of
Columbia as a separate archdiocese
solves the problem most satisfac-
torily, for it retains Archbishop
Michael ]. Curley, who this winter
will celebrate the silver jubilee of his
conservation, as the head of both
jurisdictions. This is a retention
which is welcomed by members of
the church in Washington, where
unusual progress, particularly in
education, has been made under his
guidance At the same time it confers
the dignity of autonomy upon the
churches of the District.
It is of interest to note that WASH
ington becomes the only city in the
world to comprise an entire arch
diocese, and is the only archdiocese
in America sharing its prelate with
another. However, Monterey and
Fresno in California have one bishop,
as do Savannah and Atlanta in
Georgia.
To Catholics in Washington the
new Jurisdiction means that their
church is to take place In the civic
life of the community commensurate
with the mutual dignity of the city
and the church.
To all residents it is a tribute paid
by the Pontiff to the progress and
growth of the city as the Capital Of
the United States, not only in a
purely political sense, but in the
leadership it has attained in religion,
education and culture.

No Return

Take up the fallen key and slowly turn
For the last time through each familiar
ROOM
The emptiness still holds faint perfume
OF long, contented days. The heart
must learn
To curb its wild regret. Life is an urn
Where treasured moments that the years
consume
Drop in gray ash. The garden walks
will bloom
For strangers eyes. This hour has no
return.
Soon will the smooth stone flags be
overgrown;
Across the evening fields the fleet
killdeers
VIII cry their shrill refrain. Once more
lie prone
Beneath these spreading trees and weep
hard tears. -.
Dear, as ones blood is dear, these walls
have known
So much of mirth and heartbreak
through the years.

The Iroquois Returns

Despite the incredibility of the
warning from Germany's Grand
Admiral Erich Raeder that the refu-
gee-laden Iroquois was to be sunk,
presumably by the British, as she
neared the Atlantic Coast, the entire
country experiences feeling of pro-
found relief now that the steamship
has arrived safely at New York. And
that feeling, needless to say, must be
shared in full by the passengers and
crew, whose crossing was made some
thing OF an ordeal by terrific storm
and the knowledge since Sunday that
the German warning had been sent
out.
The safe arrival of the Iroquois,
however, does not mean that this
grotesque affair should be treated as
a closed incident. Nor does it mean
that the American people will be
disposed to indorse Berlin's an
nouncement that this is proof" of
the German Navy's "fraternal atti-
tude" toward America.
1t would seem to be obvious that
Admiral Raeder either acted on the
basis of specific information that
had been furnished him or else that
the warning was a propaganda stunt
OF the clumsiest and most atrocious
nature, and that he lent himself to
it. Undoubtedly the State Depart
ment will and should make every
effort to ascertain which Is the fact.
AS a responsible representative of
the German government, Admiral
Raeder will be expected to cooperate
to the fullest extent. II he sent the
warning in good faith. he can have
nothing to hide and nothing to lose
In revealing the precise nature and
the source Of the information upon
which he acted. Should he fail or
refuse to do so, the people Of the
United States will have no choice
but to conclude that the German
admiral has stultified himself and
dishonored his profession.

Boomeronqs

The boomerang is particularly
noted for its speciality of coming
home to roost. So strongly is this
phenomenon impressed on the mind
of the average man that he over
looks completely the real function
Of the weapon, as devised originally
by the Australian bushman. They
used it with the idea of killing some
thing-a kangaroo, say, or possibly
other Australian bushmen with diff
ferent political outlooks. II they
made hit they had to run after the
missile. If they missed, the effort
was failure, for regardless Of how
gracefully and surely the boomerang
returned, it had already missed its
purpose and was equivalent to at
least a called strike, and, If they
failed to dodge, a permanent out.
When civilized man took it up as
q plaything he did not want it
spoiled by impact with any solid OBJ
jects, and put the emphasis on its
rain check feature. Among its more
prominent devotees may be listed
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace,
who is reported to be quite expert
in it's use. He can make 1t come back
nearly every time without getting
hurt.
Those who use political boomerangs
are not always so lucky. Experiment
has shown that II they are thrown
with the idea of purging the opposi-
tion, and by any chance miss, they
come back and bean the thrower in
no uncertain fashion. A certain Mr..
Hitler of Berlin has recently hurled
one at an object which he designates
as cooperation with the Russian
Bear. If it misses, he will have to be
an exceptionally artful dodger, as it
is sort of super-boomerang apt to
confuse even Einstein by returning
in all directions at once in a hun
dred and eighty degree encirclement
from Baltic to Balkans.

Star Commended for
Presentation Of War News.
TO the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
IT, under present international condi-
tions, America is to preserve her neu-
trality, its people must keep their emo
tions in check. The influence OF the
newspaper upon public thought is mani
fest; therefore, 1t is logical to assume
that policy Of restraint followed by
leading newspaper in presenting war
news will result in invaluable moderation
on the part Of readers in formulating
their opinions.
Current European hostilities offer an
unexcelled opportunity for emotionally
inspired editors and reporters who would
dangerously and needlessly incite public
comment for or against either belligerent.
The Star is to be commended for fol-
lowing a policy of temperance in pre-
senting war news. Many other papers
have carried banner headlines and lurid
cartoons ever since hostilities began, but
The Star has consistently presented the
news as accurately and as impassion-
ately as one could expect a paper to do
under the circumstances.
II more American news-disseminating
agencies would follow The Stars policy
OF self-restraint, the United States would
find preservation of its neutrality easier.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Trace,ueH.

Scientific advice is that there Is q
volume point on an electric phonograph
and the same thing applies to radio,
Of course-at which the music is at the
peak Of fidelity.
Louder than this Is distortion, although
n may be such that only the keenest
ear or some precision instrument-which
the ear is not-can detect it.
The commonest fault of photograph
and radio fans" is that they tend to
run their machines at too loud noise
level.
This is carried to such an extent that
they come to feel that anything less
than this is not worth listening to.
y ~
What one should strive for in musical
rendition as well as appreciation, is the
artistic.
And the artistic, in music, means that
good lesser amount of everything which
is correct.
This correctness is hard to define, but
1t is felt by all really artistic people.
This doesn't mean that volume, as
such, is necessarily inartistic.
Relationship is the key to musical art
Just as the relation between fast and
slow makes all the difference in the
world, so the ratio between softness and
loudness is all matter of proportion.
This sense OF proportion in music is
felt more keenly by European artists.
Our tendency over here is to let noise
take the place of proportionate discrimi-
nation in the use of sound levels.
This Is found at its worst in some
OF our jazz recordings, in which blare
OF sound issues forth of the same di-
mensions from start to finish
There are many other instances, how
ever, such as that of the singer, recorded
abroad, with plenty of soft tones, and
the same singer recorded over here, at
one loud pitch, UNMARRIED all the way
through the record, although it is a lula
by! No child-nor anybody else-could
go to sleep to such shrieking!
This is an extreme instance, but the
fact is that many phonograph addicts
secure exactly the same horrible results
with all their records by turning up
the volume control as far as possible
short of blasting
This sort of thing has some famous
advocates.
One orchestra man, writer of an inter-
esting book, says to turn the volume up
too high for room enjoyment-and then
go into another room!
There the poor points of recordings
Evening star., 1939-10-13

run at too high q noise level will be.
smothered, he says and In this way the
hearer get the volume necessary for the
proper enjoyment
But why g. out of the room?
The same result can be attained by
finding the exact point where the ma
chine performs at its maximum.
Note, We say the machine. not the
record.
The machine. after all. is what is
doing the playing.
No matter what Is in the record. it is
the machine which brings 1t out and
makes its release possible.
This point is practically the same for
all modern recordings.
No greater mistake can be made, in
operating the electric phonograph, than
constant turning up and down of the
volume control for every record.
Ninty-nine per cent of the recordings
will play perfectly at one volume level,
once this level has been found for the
machine in use
Those which have been recorded at
louder level may still be played without
touching the volume control by the use
of various types of needles which give
lesser volume.
The solution, it is very easily seen lies
in finding the exact level which is best.
1t will be admitted that unless one has
what may be called an artistic ear, this
level will generally be far too high.
A desire to pull up the volume on a
machine operating at its maximum point
of tonal value-which is considerably
short Of its maximum of volume-simply
shows that one lacks the artistic ear
Part OF this failing is to be blamed on
the way the radio has been misused as
sation.
If one is fair to music, by honestly
listening to it, there is no need for
great volume
What the hearer who values art in
music wants is tone, not mere loudness.
If you want tone, you are artistic.
If you want loudness, you are not
artistic.
1t is as simple as that
If the vibrations of musical sounds
enthrall you, take up the organ and
soak yourself in them
But If it is music on your modern
gramophone that you want, keep the
volume level down to~the precise point
at which practically all the records sound
best. Reserve strength, here as in an
automobile, is what counts not the use
Of it, but just the fact that it is there.

Predicts War Between
Hitler and Stain,

To the Editor OF The Star:
In The Star of October you pub
lished a cartoon drawn by my favorite
cartoonist, Mr.. Bergman, depicting
Hitler leading Stain to the altar as a
bride under the caption, Wonder How
Long the Honeymoon Will Last?" Well,
I, being student of ancient and mod
ern history, will attempt to answer that
question.
First, England and France will make
peace with Hitler within 60 days be-
cause if their statesmen have a grain
of sense they will realize that if the
democracies continue war against Hit
Ter Stain will emerge as the only VIC
tor. So we will see Hitler, being freed
from menace of war on his western
front, turning his energies toward pre-
pairing for war against Stain, who, If
not stopped, will strangle Germany in
the east. I predict that the war be-
tween Hitler and Stain will start be-
tween September, 1940 and September,
1941, and Hitler will go to war with
Soviet Russia with material help and
blessing from the democracies.

Americas Opportunity to
Serve Civilization.


To the Editor OF The Star:
Once more the world is plunging it.
self over the precipice into what his
torians will once again record as
senseless, unnecessary war. 1t is false
delusion for any nation to assume that
the winning of a war will ultimately
solve problems Of national and interna-
tional consequence.
Common sense has Shown us that any
problem that was not satisfactorily
solved over the conference table has
never been completely solved. 1t is in
deed unfortunate that the various prob
lens of the world could not have been
impartially settled around an interna-
tional round table, such as the League
of Nations.
Perhaps civilization has not yet ar
rived at SO high a peak of intelligence
as to enable it to iron out its difficulties
without resorting to some form of vio-
lence To what benefit does one nation
measure its strength against another?
Does might mean right? If it does,
then we're not quite so far removed
from the Stone Age, in which period
Of time survival of the fittest" was the
universal law of the day.
In this democracy of ours, which we
may proudly call America, any free
thinking citizen can understand that
the ruthless slaughter of innocent men,
women and children by aerial lombard
ment is an abomination.
On the one hand we have made much
progress. Science has contributed gen.
erously toward the safety, welfare and
preservation of mankind. But, on the
other, science has conceived engines of
war capable Of annihilating every bene-
At it has conferred upon its benefici-
aries.
In keeping with the foregoing trend
of thought it would seem almost unnec-
essary to say that the intelligent ma
tions of today are the nations which
seek to establish the foundations of
world peace by the incorporation of
such policies that would insure the ma
tions of the world permanent guaran-
tee of good will toward all men,
This must be the ultimate aim of
civilization. If it were not, we would
have no need of ambassadors or min
listers of peace, whose chief duties are to
represent the peaceful interest of the
state.
I am extremely hopeful that the United
States will adopt form of neutrality
which will serve to keep the American
citizen out of a European war BY doing
this not only will the citizens of this,
our beloved country, be served, but all
civilization as we'll
