since Manhattan Island was bought
for the legendary quart of whisky.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that the
W.P. A. official involved is not stick
Ter for red tape. Half the trouble Of
white men in dealing with aborigi-
nails has resulted from failure to ap-
preciate apparently silly native pref
udices-but which to men thinking
from the background of the natives
themselves are entirely logical.
Just such an attitude cost Great
Britain the bloody Sepoy rebellion.
1t probably cost France the North
American continent, due to the i'm
placable hatred aroused among the
Iroquois.
Not that anybody expects the in
dignant Seminoles working for the
w. P. A. to rise and recapture Florida
but why needlessly arouse their
animoSity?

least for most persons-in being up and
around.
Goodness and quiet are everywhere,
expression "hot and bothered" has
very real meaning.
The modern milkman, despite the fact
he goes on rubber tires, seems to be an
intrusion on the scene.
The clank of his bottles, and the rat
ting of his crates, crate on the ear
from afar.
He will be gone shortly. His schedule
Is relentless. Even now he must be be-
hind time, for he is running from his
machine to the porch.
The early morning pedestrian has the
road mostly to himself, except for the
squirrels and the birds, which were up
before him-but not as much so as usual
this morning. For this once one is a.
part of nature, whose day begins with
first light, as indeed it should.
Those who do not go into their gar
dens when the dew is on them, at least
now and then, miss something fine which
their plot of land can give them.
But how many ardent home garden
ers there are who never once have set
foot on the grass in the early hours
The birds are singing, the first tinges
OF the sun cleaning on wet grass blades,
shining in garage windows; the GOODNESS
oir OF CT rot
ing, is very real thing. Whatever the
thermometer says, it says it lower than
eight or nine hours before This drop
literally makes all the difference in the
world. The suburban gardener gets more
of it, but even in the deep city there will
be enough difference to make the getting
up worth while.
AS for the practical use of such early
morning hours, there will be real diff
ference of opinion.
Some like to do garden tasks, but
others prefer just to look, to examine,
to note how much fresher flowers look
at this time than any other period of the
day, naturally enough
Ii one is fortunate enough to have
gladioli coming into bloom, one will see
them as they are never seen again.
There is transparency to the colors
which the spikes never show at any
other time.
The difference is not great, perhaps
but it is sure and easily grasped, even
by the novice Most varieties are named
by their originators at this time of day.
The explanation is easy. Not only are
gladiolus hybridizers lovers of the early
morning hours, but they simply cannot
wait to see their floWers-they know they
first unfurl after 2 am, and are about at
their peak by o'clock. Often those who
grow the variety later do not quite I'M
derstand the name, but if they had been
in the garden al dawn. with the origi-
nator, they would realize how apt name
he selected.

Effective Civil Service

Ill NlSudllIlllS ali tlleCtlFt IIlcllI
system within year and half as
he retires from the Civil Service
Commission, former Commissioner
Ordway displays encouraging OPP
timism, especially since he is in
position to appraise fully the obsta-
Giles that stand in the way of attain
ment.
An effective civil service means
just one thing: the application of
the competitive principle throughout
the executive structure, with the ex-
clusion, Of course, of the so-called
policy-forming places at the very
top, and those others at the bottom
levels where the character of the
employment makes it infeasible. In
other words, an effective civil service
would be a career service, with the
worth Of the individual the price of
entrance and advancement.
But there is no gainsaying the fact
that every step toward this goal is
in the face of opposition. This comes
from two principal sources. Officials
unwilling to see their hiring and
firing prerogatives disturbed can al
ways offer reasons why their personal
patronage should be untouchable;
the political angle is so well recog-
nized that comment is superfluous.
II proof of the difficulties encoun-
tered were needed, two cases in point
will suffice. A year ago this month,
President Roosevelt issued an order
designed to bring under civil service
all those positions not exempt by
statute. All that has been accom-
plished up to now is to blanket in
the low-grade places, although an
eminent committee headed by AS
sociate Justice Stanley F. Reed of the
Supreme Court is attempting to work
out satisfactory plan to get in those
of the upper brackets, for whose con-
tinued exclusion many voices were
raised.
Thousands of other positions
barred by law from civil service
would be brought in under the terms
of bill by Chairman Ramspeck of
the House Civil Service Committee,
but that measure has negotiated
only the first lap of difficult course,
a favorable report from committee
sending it to the House where, after
days, it still awaits uncertain fate.
The cheering aspect of the matter
Is that, as Mr.. Ordway says, a founda-
ton has been laid for stable in
stitution. The Reed Committee,
properly supported, can do much
good. The same goes for the Council
of Personnel Administration, that is
IN process Of organization. And the
backing of Chairman Ramspeck is
guarantee that the civil service
expansion bill will not be inferred
without struggle. 1t should be
noted on the credit side of the ledger
too that Congress this year gave the
Civil Service Commission additional
funds to speed up it's machinery.
AS is evident, much is to be done
before this Government can boast an
effective civil service, and eighteen
months seems hardly more than long
enough to get a good start It well
may be hoped, however, that Mr..
Ordway's prediction bears fruit.

Replies to Writer on
Foreign Trade.

To the Editor of The Star:
governments first duty is to its
people, writes j. E. W. in The Star of
May &c. but he does not understand how
this duty is best fulfilled.
He says that the wages in Cyprus are
10 cents a day for lacemaking. Perhaps
they are. The Department of Commerce
considers our trade with Cyprus so in
flnitesimal as not to warrant statistics
in the Yearbook of Foreign Commerce.
These lacemakers produce handmade
lace. We do not produce handmade lace
in the United States. 1t is too expensive
to produce at American wage standards.
Does j. E. w. want to make Americans
work at 10 cents day so that he can
have handmade American lace?
He cites wage rates in Rumania. How
much do we import from Rumania?
One-tenth of what we export to Ru-
mania. If we cut these imports off
where will be our export market in Ru-
mania? More Americans will be thrown
out Of work.
He cites Chinese factory wages. AS
we'll cite the wages in Mars. What fac
tory products do we import from China?
Absolutely none.
j. E. w. is unaware that goods made
in the United States for home consump-
ton do not have to be marked Made in
the U. S. A." AS matter of fact, goods
marked Made in the U. S. A." that J. E.
w. is so happy to see are goods that
were originally destined for export trade,
but could not be sold abroad because the
foreign buyer lacked United States
money.
Our depression was accentuated by the
Hawley-Smoot tariff Of 1890, which was
the highest we ever had. This made the
depression harder and prevented all
chance Of recovery. Prosperity has
slowly returned with the signing of the
Hull reciprocal trade treaties.

He said it was not true that Stanhope, First Lord of the Ad- miralty, asked the press to give special prominence to his state ment that the anti-aircraft guns of the British navy were ordered to be manned.
 He said he, personally, would give directions that British news papers should suppress or dis count Stanhope's speech because it gave an incorrect impression.
 Chamberlain said he acted ito spare the public unnecessary agitation" over the declaration made by Stanihope. Chamberlain also said amid laughter and cheers that apparently my eff forts to spare the public unnec- essary agitation were not alto gether successful, but the incl dent will, at any rate, serve to demonstrate the constant readi- ness of the navy in all eventual ities."
