BUSINESS BRIEFS
ROOFING

Twenty-Five years ago tho writ
er lived for a couple Of years
"out in the sticks" in a pioneers
cabin which had roof made OF
crude homemade split cedar
shakes" Such roofs were a
commonplace amongst the set
tiers in the early days. A few
Of them still survive. The action
of the sun and rain and wintry
weather upon that roof was
something to behold. After
every rainstorm we climbed
upon that old sloping, moss
covered roof and painstakingly
covered the cracks and spots
that leaked with pieces OF cedar
shakes-or a piece of tin-if
that would serve our purpose
better-snd so gained some brief
surcease from leaking roof wor-
ries until the next rain would
expose a fresh batch OF leaking
places to patch.

Street Safety

While the District Commissioners
await the opinion of the Corporation
Counsel on the legal aspects of the
proposed regulations to protect and
assist pedestrians, new champion
of the principle has taken over in
Congress- Representative Leland M.
Ford, a new member of the streets
and traffic subcommittee of the
District Committee, has background
of experience for his belief in the
desirability of such regulations. He
was formerly an official of Los
Angeles County, where one of the
most workable systems of pedestrian
regulation is in effect. 1t is made
effective largely by popular support
and is enforced almost entirely by
public opinion.
In the meantime, the adoption of
the proposed regulation for the
Capital, already given approval by
the Commissioners Traffic Advisory
Council, waits on the formal report
of counsel. Informal legal opinion
at the public hearing last month,
and in discussions since then, has
been that the Commissioners have
full power to act on the plan. But it
is undoubtedly the wiser policy to
delay action until all possible faults
are removed.
When the Corporation Counsel re-
ports, the final barrier will have been
passed and the heads of the city
government will be able to act
promptly. Thus, with no lengthy
tests" to delay them, the regulations
will be of practical value from their
inception.

Farm Worker Opposes
New Deal Spending.

To the Editor of The Star:
submit the following letter for your
consideration and publication if desirable.
Living and working as young farm
laborer about to turn voting age, should,
therefore, take vital interest and concern
in the growth and welfare of our coun-
try. I am not concerned primarily with
the aged generation of today with its
many problems), as am with the public
of tomorrow. BY looking ahead into the
near future I can foresee debt-burdened
taxpayers, farmers without farms, and
home-lovers without homes, all because
of the present administration free
spending policies. If or present-day
leaders are failing to provide for the
younger generation, then to whom may
the bewildered and unfortunate young
farmers and laborers turn to in the ex-
pectation of getting security, and not
panic and failure, from a government
made unsound by graft and greed.

Northwestern Africa. In Italian or
German hands, as an air, naval or
military base, they would be pistol
pointed at the Americas. Major Eliot
reminds us that the outer end Of
our chain of bases at a point in the
Caribbean, say at Barbados, would
be about 500 miles farther from any
South American port below Cape
San Rogue, at the corner" of Brazil,
than would the outer end of the Eu-
ropean chain at the Canaries or the
Cape Verdes.
Should the Berlin-Rome Cocoon
querors of the Spanish republic covet
a reward such as the Canaries, that
would be something for the United
States and other advocates of "hem-
isphere defense" to think about, and
think quickly.

Philosophers Creed

Let there be love for every fearless thing;
Let there be faith and trust in the
Unknown.
The roots of crimson rose bush, deeply
grown,
Wait, safe in darkness, for the breath Of
spring.
In southern climes, the cardinals now
wing;
They are not lost; through night skies
they have flown,
Unaided, unafraid, and all alone;
They will return; again we'll hear them
Let us, then, strive to make our hearts
divine;
Let us regain our faith in God and man.
The sun, the stars, the moon are with
us still,
Nor have they faltered once in their
design.
Shall We evade our share in this Great
Plan,
While birds, their part, so valiantly

Defense of Civil Liberties

The proposal of Attorney General
Murphy for the creation in the De-
partment of Justice of new Divi-
sion of Civil Liberties is in tune with
the times. It is the clear duty of the
Government, acting within the scope
Of its authority, to protect citizens
in the fundamental rights guaran-
teed them by the Constitution, and
although there have been sugges-
tions to the contrary, a sincere and
proper regard for these liberties does
not imply development Of class con-

speaker and auditory system are far in
advance Of anything known even few
years ago.
Electrical recording came in with ra-
dio, and some Of the recordings made as
early as 1928 to 1880 are amazingly good,
judged even by modern standards.
A+k
The interesting fact, in connection with
these records, Is that the owner of mod
ern machine can hear them as their
creators never did, because when the rec
ords were waxed, as the phrase has 1t,
there were no speakers or simplifying
systems capable of bringing out all that
was put into them.
Thus the strictly up-to-date purchaser
of some Of the better of the older elec-
trical recordings-let us make plain that
the old acoustical records are not meant
has all the thrill of a creator, as he
brings forth tones and even instruments
dn ensembles) which have lain unheard
for perhaps decade.
Every playing of good record is sort
Of creation, in which the person who
handles the disc is in a way taking a
real part in the performance.
Those who listen should make sure that
they accord the music the respect which
1t deserves.
Do not enthusiastically declare that
you would "just love" to hear his records
and then spend the entire time talking
about motor cars, or the international
situation.
Above all, do not listen intently for halt
record and then suddenly start talking
about something else. Nothing burns up
an ardent record collector as much as
this, even continuous talking, from start
to finish, is not quite as insulting
*
Yes, there Is something almost insult
ing in the actions of many persons who
rather foolishly insist on still regarding
the phonograph as a sort of toy.
Today's machines and records are
capable Of real music, and are entitled
to the same consideration.
Above all, in listening to the phono-
graph, refuse to worry about the mean
ing of the music. Forget to try to "un-
derstand" it.
The thing to do is to listen to it. Listen
ing is the full equivalent of the music, in
very good sense, that is, it makes one
take part in the motion of music; which
Is its real lifeblood, and this whether
1t is fox trot tune or symphony
A listener cannot become part of this
or any other sort of music unless he gets
the rhythm of it, swing, movement, OF
whatever he calls it.
Tempo, as the musician calls it, is what
makes music what it is.
The slightest distraction from this en-
thralling thing, the great central fact o1
music, puts the listener completely out oI
step If he insists on talking, or ever
thinking, in a sense, he throws a wrench
into his own machinery of musical ap.
probation. Even the music of the great
Beethoven is not proof against this sort
of thing.
