Shooting Stars
By PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Dismay.
The funny headgear joke, they say
Is going out of style;
No more the sense of deep dismay
Is hidden meath smile.
No more is man deluded by
A mass of fluff and frill.
He looks with philosophic eye
Upon the monster bill.
The funny headgear you may call
A terror strange and grim;
A nightmare and freak withal,
That bedlam joined to trim.
Indeed, you scarce can go amiss
With any sneering stroke.
You need remember only this,
1t isn't any joke.

Lundover CROSSING

One of the worst grade crossings
in this vicinity, that at Landover,
Md, will be eliminated soon, the
Maryland State Roads Commission
has announced. The commission
expects the project will be included
in the 1889 Federal program and has
approved an agreement with the
Pennsylvania Railroad for elimina-
ton of the crossing.
Practically all of the elements that
make a crossing hazardous are pres
ent at Landover. The multiple
tracks of the main line of the Penn
Sylvania Railroad are traversed by
high-speed electric trains. The
crossing is approached from the
Marlboro side up a slight grade and
vision is obscured from the left.
Traffic over the road is constantly
increasing and becomes particularly
heavy in summer as it is a popular
route to beach resorts.
Although watchmen are on duty
tWenty-four hours a day, there
always is present the danger of a
serious accident, particularly since
school buses use the crossing daily.
Despite the hazards, the Landover
crossing has been permitted to re-
main, although its elimination was
an obvious necessity as soon as the
Landover-Largo-M Marlboro road was
modernized in 1880. It's elimination
not only will be major safety i'm
provement in the Maryland road
system but also will emphasize the
Importance of eliminating remaining
crossings.

Germony's Mystery Bomb

1t is sincerely to be hoped that the
rumors of Germany's new bomb,
which were brought into the open
through the hearings on the Army
expansion bill before the Senate
Military Affairs Committee, are
grossly exaggerated.
1t is reported to be the most de-
structive weapon ever used in war
fare. According to unconflrmed re-
ports the explosion OF one such bomb
dropped from q plane near Barcelona

War Referendum Aquin

Obviously because they hope to eX-
plot the utterly unjustifiable hubbub
aroused over the administration
foreign policy by the irrelevant
French airplane transaction, pro-
ponents of the Ludlow war referen-
dunn have returned to the firing line.
Rebuffed when their misguided con-
trivance for keeping the country out
of war was rejected by the House a
year ago, they are now trying their
luck with slightly modified version
OF the proposal in the Senate.
Twelve Senators, including six
Democrats, three Republicans, two
Farmer-Laborites and a Progressive,
have introduced constitutional
amendment to prohibit the waging
by the United States of war over
seas without the authority of pop
ular referendum. Although recent
events indicate that the adminis-
tration's nominal majority in the
Senate is a slender reed on which
the President has to lean, there are
happily indications that, on show
down, the upper branch will defeat
the revived referendum plan by a
considerably more decisive margin
than the vote cast against it in the
House, where, indeed, the Ludlow
plan almost prevailed.
The Star held the original referen-
dunn scheme to be i'll advised. Itconsid-
ers the modified project, which would
eliminate popular vote on war in
case of invasion or attack, no less
infeasible and undesirable. What the
referendum essentially essays to do
is to withdraw the conduct of for
elgn relations from the hands to
which that function is constitution
ally entrusted and to transfer it to a
glorifled national town meeting, as
it were.
Under the referendum system, the
people would ignore the judgment
Of the executive branch and Con-
gress alike. on any given interna-
tlonal crisis, despite the Govern
ment'S intimate knowledge of the ms
and outs OF the emergency in ques-
ton and would be guided exclusively
by the uninformed whims of cam
palgners for or against war. While
awaiting the outcome of a referen-
dunn, American interests might be
1rreparably jeopardized. A referen-
dunn conceivably might recommend a
course of action, which would be
futile or fatal, because taken too late.
AS Secretary Hull points out. in
commenting on the resurrection of
the Ludlow plan, "the founders of
the Republic, after the fullest delib-
Grafton, reached the conclusion that
the representative form of govern
ment by the people, which they
established, was best calculated to
accomplish the end of keeping the
American people out of war" Secre-
tary Hull is on equally logical ground
IN asserting that experience has
proved the wisdom and the prac-
tical judgment of the patriots and
statesmen who founded our system
OF free institutions"
This Nation has happily never
been afflicted with Presidents or
Secretaries of State or a Congress
bent upon leading the United States
down the road to war" a theme
upon which there is currently much
senseless harping on Capitol Hill.
President Roosevelt said in Jan
uary, 1898, that the referendum plan
would most seriously handicap the
Government in the conduct of our
foreign affairs and would thus i'm
pair disastrously it's ability to safe
guard the peace of the American
people" The President is right.

Memorial Proposed
To Mary Ball.

To the Editor of The Star:
This seems to be day and age for
monuments and memorials to some of
our honored dead. While this is very
appropriate, there is one name that I
regret to say I have never seen men,
toned in your valued columns, as being
worthy of monument or memorial.
The person whose name am about to
mention is more entitled to monument
in Washington than any man or woman
that ever tread on American soil I re-
fer to Mary Ball, mother of George
Washington. can cite many reasons on
which base my claim, but I will just
mention one.
During the fall of the year 1746 an
incident happened which is worthy of
notice. 1t had important bearing upon
the future of George Washington, in
addition to guiding the destiny of our
Nation. George, who was then IA years
of age, expressed his wish to join the
British Navy. Through his half-brother
Lawrence, midshipman's warrant was
secured for George. Much to his delight
he made arrangements to embark on a
man-of-war then riding on the Potomac.
His baggage was put aboard the ship,
and all that remained to be done before
his departure was to receive the consent
and blessing Of his mother, but she re-
fused.
Who will say that the Unseen was not
present in the sympathies of that Incl
dent! He who controls the fate of man,
and Mary, mother of Washington, there
and then commenced to form the destiny
of our great republic, where liberty and
the pursuit of happiness still prevails.
If this 14year-old boy had been per-
mitted to serve four years in the British
Navy, having British patriotism drilled
into him day and night, we might still
be flying the British Jack.
Thanks to Mary, this did not happen!
I hope the day may come when the Con-
gress or some loyal American organiza-
tion will take proper action to erect fit-
ting monument to her in our beautiful
city, bearing the inscription: MARY Ball,
mother Of George Washington. Her con-
tribution to the destiny Of the American
Nation is inestimable"

huge sums out Of circulation as is the
case with the S. S. A. A lack Of money
in circulation was the cause of this
depression.
The General Welfare Act is on pay
as-you-go basis, the revenue to pay
annuities to be raised by per cent
gross income tax. This method of rails
ing revenue has been highly successful
in Hawaii for several years. This prac-
tical recovery measure should be imme-
diately passed to end the suffering of the
last 10 years and to stop the waste of
public money in futile pump printing.
