ability to compete with machine
farming on an industrial scale. The
movement will grow. Machine agri-
culture still lags behind its possibili-
ties. The cotton-picking machine,
for example, has been deliberately
withheld by its inventors because of
their fear of its social consequences.
It may become obsolete before it ac-
tually is put to work because of the
present movement largely to do away
with cotton altogether-as cotton
and harvest it with moving machine
and hayrake for cellulose to be
turned into synthetic fabrics.
All over the country small farmers
have been able to survive, up to the
present, although survival becomes
more and more difficult. A genera
ton or two may elapse before the
mechanization process is complete to
the point where the small farmer will
be in as hopeless a position as the
small shoemaker. But the trend is
unmistakable.
The mechanization of agriculture
will mean cheaper and more abun-
dant food and clothing. Here as
elsewhere in the long run the ma
chine will be blessing. But one or
two generations of American farm
families seem destined to pay heavily
for this advantage to the Nation as
whole, just as couple Of genera
tions of small artisans paid heavily
for the mechanization of industry.
The unfairness of the situation is
obvious. The problem of what to do
about it calls for a lot of clear and
original thinking by the leaders Of
both agriculture and industry. Ulti-
mately there will be an automatic
adjustment as the children or grand
children of those who now hoe cotton
get jobs making machines to hoe
cotton-but ultimately" is frigid
word in these ast-moving times.

To Benefit Wushinoton

The Greater National Capital
Committee, division of the Wash
ington Board OF Trade, is seeking
seventy thousand dollars in subscrip-
tions from Washington business and
professional men to finance further
useful and valuable effort in behalf
Of the National Capital as a conven-
tion city and tourists objective.
Eight years of constructive labor al
ready have resulted in many eco
nomic, social and cultural benefits
to the District of Columbia for which
the committee is entitled to credit
expressed in terms of practical as
sistance.
1t Is obvious that the greater the
number of visitors received in WASH
ington the larger the amount of
money drawn into the local COM
munity. So much for the economic
significance of the committees en-
terprise. The cultural and social
advantages likewise require no argu-
ment. Anything which conduces to
national unity in a democracy is
helpful to the population of the
entire country. The committee, in
effect, is an educational institution
with a pragmatic purpose eminently
worthy of support. 1t creates among
the people desire to see the Federal
Center, it acts as host to them when
they come. No other agency serves
the need. From its Offices approx
mately three hundred thousand
pieces of literature go out each
month. 1t keeps in touch with fif-
teen hundred newspapers and five
hundred radio stations, supplies mo-
ton pictures, photographs, cuts and
mats to publishers of periodicals of
every conceivable variety, answers an
average of five hundred letters of
inquiry a week, makes friends for
Washington wherever an opportu-
nifty affords.
OF course, the endeavor must be
funded. The Star gladly approves
the present campaign and bespeaks
for 1t full and complete measure
of success.

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles E. Trace1peH.

Among the many things which man
kind may learn from the birds, the
lesson Of the rainy day is certainly
one.
Their Joy in the water, and at the
same time their indifference to any
III effects, is fascinating to watch.
There Is male cardinal perched
on the telephone wire singing away as
the drops fall around him.
1t is true that birds have feathers,
and a special oil which makes them en-
tirely waterproof. as we say.
But it Is more than that.
1t is an acceptance of rain as perfectly
natural and right, as much a part Of life
as sunshine and fair weather.
Once human understands this in his
own life, he comes to the point where
never single grumble escapes him at
what the reports call precipitation.
Such precipitation Is part of the
scheme OF things. Only city living, with
its paved sidewalks, and seemingly ines
capable routine, tends to make rainfall
something disagreeable.
Country and suburban living makes
for reader acceptance OF all natural
things.
There the rain is not only part of all,
but a necessary part, and, even more,
desirable part.
No human, however can get into this
mood quite as we'll as a bird.
y 4
The mother bird shields the nest with
her feathers, while the rain comes down
hour after hour
There is no need for watcher to la
ment the ceaseless drip upon her.
She doesn't mind in the least. It is q
part Of her life.
She folds her neck over so that the
red bill is about the only thing seen
from few feet away.
You can come as close as you please,
during rain. and she never moves a
feather. In clear weather she might
slide off the nest, in order to give the
impression that there is nothing there
at all.
So cleverly Is the nest concealed, in
the leaves Of honeysuckle and rose, that
this maneuver often works.
Just a tangled mass of vines-that is
all to the eye.
X
The grass plants cannot run away.
They must stand and take it, as the rain
pours down all day long
If they had wings, they might find it
expedient to fly around but surely not to
get out of the wet
They, too like water.
They grow greener hour by hour. High

Science and War

Literally within the lifetime of a
few persons now living the human
race has made greater advances than
1t made in all the vast span of time
Between the fall of Rome and the
middle of the nineteenth century.
There are many who remember
the first telephone, the first automo-
bile, the first streetcar. Legions re-
member the first airplane and the
first radio. We are not far removed
from those who may have remem-
bered the first railroad train, the
first steamboat, the first telegraph
message. Within less than a century
civilized man has nearly doubled his
own average span of life. Within
quarter of century we have seen
develop the strange paradox of peo-
pie going hungry because the earth
was producing too much to eat.
These are all the gifts of science.
There is every reason to suppose that
all of them are quite elementary
mere suggestions of the miracles to
come. Mans mastery over nature
through understanding Of natures
laws now is moving forward at
pace hitherto unimaginable. The
riches of life and living just ahead
lie beyond any mans dream. The
human race is coming into the gold
en- age.
But, apparently through the action
OF forces which it has not yet mas
tered, mankind seems on the verge
Of sacrificing all its hopes of this
golden age and no small part of its
gains in the past. War would wreck
most of what science has accom-
pllshed. So warns DR.. Robert A. Mil
likan, one of the outstanding physi-
cists of the world. Among the
advances of science, DR.. Millikan
points out, are some which will make
war far more terrible and destructive
than it ever has been in the past.
1t IS this realization, perhaps, that
will save the world from another
general war. The race cherishes too
highly what it has to take such risk.
It was largely this realization, DR..
Mllikan feels, that prevented war
last September. Perhaps this Is the

@. What is the origin Of lighthoules7-
c. R. S.
A. The earliest lighthouses, of which
records exist, were the towers built by
the Libyans and Cushites in Lower
Egypt, beacon fires being maintained in
some of them by priests. Lesches, q
Greek poet 1850 B.C), mentions a light
house at Sigeum, now Cape Incihisari.
in the Troad, which appears to have
been the first light regularly maintained
for mariners. The famous Pharos of
Alexandria was regarded as one of the
wonders of the world The tower is
stated to have been 600 feet in height.
1t was destroyed by earthquake In the
18th century, but remains are said to
have been visible as late as 1885, The
name Pharos became the general term
for all lighthouses, and the term pharol-
ogy has been used for the science Of
lighthouse construction.
