Takes Issue With
"Wailing Wali' Statement.
To the Editor of The atar.

i o the Eoltor OF The Star:
In your issue OF June 2, j. w. Thomp-
son offers correction of the Haskin
item relating to the Wailing Wall (Which
had the privilege of inspecting while on
visit to Jerusalem in August, 1880 and
states that the item "is not in accordance
with history" May point out that the
following passage in Mr.. Thompsons
letter is also mot in accordance with
history:
" - this part of the wall (the wall
ing placeD is the only remaining part
Of Solomon's Temple
The most recent work relating to the
subject is Valentines Jewish Encyclo-
pedia Gondon, 1880, which, at page
666, states:
"The lower part of the wall-six
courses-is remnant of Herods Temple.
The middle portion-three courses-is
Roman and Of the time of Hadrian. The
upper portion is Saracen."
Solomons Temple was totally destroyed
by the forces of Nebuchadnezzar, B. c.
5S8; it was replaced by Zerubbabels
(EzekielO and it in turn by Herods,
which was completed shortly before the
time of Jesus and was frequented by
Him. It remained standing until A. D.
10 and was replaced by Roman temple
which eventually gave way to the present
Dome of the Rock"-often miscalled
the Mosque Of Omar"

Formal Attire

Some time ago formal dress was
decreed for male guests at the Brit
ish Embassy garden party in honor
OF the King and Queen. The state
ment, apparently simple and def
mite, brought out the fact that
authorities differ on what consti-
tutes formal attire for men, and
resulted in regular siege of the En-
bassy to clear up the matter. Final
ly, perhaps in view of the heat, Lady
Lindsay at press conference deliv-
cred a message to the wives of
America to "let their husbands wear
whatever they wanted"
This dread decree fell like a bomb
shell on defenseless population.
Many a wife, alert to realize the ap-
palling danger, hastily corralled the
straw hat her spouse had been wear
ing for the past ten years and gave
1t to a reluctant aShman. Others,
not so quick on the trigger, had to
battle for these relics, patiently try
ing to explain that Lady Lindsay in
her widest dreams never imagined
that supposedly civilized men wore
such objects. Still other wives
clutched with grim despair at their
husbands fancy vests and ties, en-
deavoring to register the point that
the coming function was a garden
party in honor of visiting royalty,
and not a clambake given by Dinty
Moore at Coney Island to celebrate
the long deferred debut from Sing
Sing of Second Story Dugan. Ju-
dicious combinations of Mysteries,
tears, and just plain larceny are
said to have eliminated from the
scene number of brilliant checked
suits that would have been just the
thing for the end bookie at Belmont
Park.
1t has been a close call, but the
ladies came from behind to snatch
sartorial victory in the end. The
net result, as visible from the EN-
bassy lawn, will represent a distinct
triumph for matrimony.

COngressman's Wife Writes
To Queen Elizabeth.

To the Editor of The Star:
I realize that I cannot write to Queen
Elizabeth directly, but if were in posi-
ton to do so my letter would read as
follows:
To Her Majesty the Queen:
My Dear Elizabeth:
You won't mind my calling you Dear
Elizabeth, will you, for you won't get
this letter anyway? But, truly, you are
dear to the women of America! We've
known of your beauty and your gracious
ness and your kindly heart and all that
they mean to your people, and we've read
about queens since fairy-tale days, and
we've dreamed about crowns and jewels
and ermine, but we never did dream
we'd actually see an honest-to- goodness
queen!
I'm speaking now as the wife of a
Congressman of the United States Do
you know there are some 400 Congress-
mems wives that do want glimpse of
you?
Socially the wives of the Congressman
cling to the lowest rung of the official
social ladder here in Washington, but
the lower we cling the higher flares
our interest in your visit to our United
States. Well not be at Lady Lindsay's
party. Well not be at the White House,
but we will be seeing you as you ride
down Constitution avenue. You won't
recognize us for we are simply American
women, wives of American Congressman
representing the American citizens of
from steps, from behind pillars, from
roadside groups-from any convenient
spot that any one finds along the way
You see our Congressman represent
millions of American citizens and we
contact millions of American women, so
we want to be able to tell those women
that we've seen the beautiful Queen of
England. Why, expect to sit under a
purple beech or a tulip tree-or is it
horse chestnut-anyway, I've found a
shady spot on an old stone wall at the
corner of the Capitol Grounds, and
expect to begin sitting on that spot about
10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and I shall
sit right there until you pass.
Then on Friday, we hear you are to
enter the rotunda Of the Nations Capitol
We can't be inside, but we'll be some
place out around those east steps. OF
course, If the Senators wives are round
about too, you'll not be able to tell one
from the other for we look very much
alike. After all, we and the women we
represent from Oregon and Arizona to
New York and Tennessee are very much
alike! We all wear this seasons queer
millinery; we'd all wear our very best
frocks before royalty; and almost to the
last woman of us, we'd give our dotted
wells for chance to curtsy to the Queen
of England.
THE CONGRESSMANS WIFE.

New Libruriun

President Roosevelt in naming
Archibald MacLeish of Connecticut
to succeed DR.. Herbert Putnam as
Librarian of Congress chose "a gen.
tleman and a scholar" and manifeStly
avoided partisan politics, which
surely should be Stunned in filling
such position; and there is no
evidence thus far that he did not
succeed In his determination to find
an independent citizen for the post.
Mr.. MacLeish has made his mark
as a poet and man of letters. He
was an honor student as well as an
athlete at Yale and, later, at Harvard
Law School; he has travelled widely
and written engagingly of his obser-
vations abroad; he has won Pulitzer
prize. Those who are well-acquaint-
ed with him speak his praises with
out hesitation or reserve.
The charge made on the floor of
the House that he has sufficiently
identified himself with the Commun-
ist movement to win the indefinite
title "fellow-traveler' will of course
be the subject of inquiry by the
Senate But those who know Mr..
MacLeish are inclined to doubt that
his literary expressions in poetry and
prose are to be interpreted as advo-
cacy OF COMMUNISM or any other
political creed.
Meanwhile, a reaction about which
there is less controversy is discernible
among the thirty thousand pro-
fessional librarians of the United
States who, not unnaturally, had de-

Reports that Henry A.. Wallace,
Secretary of Agriculture, may be
willing to permit his name to go be-
fore the Democratic National Con-
vention next year for a presidential
nomination suggests a possible line
Of strategy of the Roosevelt third
termers. For, coupled with the word
that Mr.. Wallace may seek the favor
of the Iowa delegation to the ma
tional convention, is the assertion
that, of course, the Secretary of Agri-
culture will not be a candidate If
President Roosevelt's name is to 60
before the convention. Further, it is
intimated that Wallace-pledged
delegation from Iowa could be swung
to Mr.. Roosevelt in the convention,

scarcely taste for them, whereas 1t is
sufficient for many bird families.
X X
The friend of birds, therefore, who
puts out meat must be on the watch to
keep the dogs away from it,
This is no easy task.
If the plate is on the ground it will
be discovered too easily. If 1t is put up
high, on some support, 1t will be knocked
down and broken.
Therefore the platter" may we'll be a
piece of paper, which may be placed in
a shrub.
Do not expect this to fool the dogs
Their keen scents were not given them
for nothing. The bird lover who puts
out meat must be content to watch for
inroads, and take instant steps to save
the birds food.
There is also some chance that meat
of any kind may draw a small hawk.
This is not very likely, however, but
thought should be given to it, for if one
should be attracted, the young birds
would be in immediate danger.
Size, of course, is always respected
in the animal world
The larger the bird, the quicker
smaller ones are to give way to it.
One of the pleasing features of con-
verting back yard, temporarily, into
a feeding place for a number of older
birds and their f1edglings is how well
they all get along together.
Even the English sparrows mind their
own business very well. They are in
no danger of chasing the song SPAR
rows away. A great deal has been said
against this species, but from observa-
ton over several years we do not hesi-
tate to say that it seems as well be-
haved as most birds.
The ground beef was put out pri-
marlly for the song sparroWs. and they
surely have got most of it, but the
plateful was open to all comers.
When it was placed atop the fence.
in mass of honeysuckle, which formed
table for it, all the birds found it,
one after the other.
Sometimes as many as four parents
would be waiting their turn, to eat a
bit, then seize a billful to take back to
the young.
Playful squirrels sometimes will run
at the fledglings, but these merely flut-
ter away. To date we have seen none
harmed by the rodents.
If young birds are fed in any man
ner, the feeder must make it a point
to guard them as best he can. This
means some degree of personal watch
fulness, especially in regard to the lis
tening for the sharp warning cries, chip.
chip, chip, of the older birds. Never
neglect this sound, to which the ear of
the friend of birds soon becomes &C
customed. 1t means danger, in any
language, and when danger threatens,
that is the time to give help.

Calls Attention to
Inconsistency.

To the Editor of The Star:
With amazement noted in tonights
issue of The Evening Star a picture
showing Is or more laborers walking on
the sidewalks of Washington before
the Mellon Art Gallery These men
have a perfect right to communicate to
the people their side of a labor dispute,
and I find no fault with that In fact,
today's Supreme. Court decision upholds
them and restraints Mayor Frank Hague
of New Jersey from abridging the liberties
of American citizens.
However, the thing that leaves me
dumbfounded is that a group of 16 of
Jehovah's Witnesses were arrested by the
Washington police Saturday night, May
a. for walking in the same manner along
Fourteenth street, inviting the people to
attend free Bible meeting to be held
at their headquarters in Washington
next Sunday. Their case was continued
until June IA and they are now out on
property bond of 500 each.
What decision the judge will render
is, of course, unknown, but surely the
city ordinance under which they were
arrested is unconstitutional Here's
hoping that the Washington police will
learn lesson from the decision of the
highest court in the land and refrain
from trying to interfere with peoples
liberties, whether 1t be freedom of the
press, freedom of speech or freedom of
religion.

sired that one of their own skilled
and highly-trained number might be
chosen to head the largest and in
many respects the most important
photographic establishment in the
world. The American Library Asso-
citation had appealed directly to the
President to that end on the ground
that such recognition should be ac-
corded to the profession in which DR..
Putnam has been an acknowledged
leader but to which MIR. MacLeish
is still stranger.

cent working conditions, fair. wages and
many other benefits. To the employer
1t guarantees the absence of labor dis
putes, high morale among his employees,
continuity of production, good will on
the part Of the public and high degree
of efficiency in the operation of his
enterprise. 1t is hard for any clear
thinking person to find anything un-
American or undemocratic in the prin-
ciple of the closed shop or the principle
of collective bargaining The closed
shop, in guaranteeing these benefits
to the worker and employer, makes pos
sible for us healthy democracy For
it is only when all labor is employed at
decent wages and in decent working
conditions that our democratic institu-
tions can be said to be fUnctioning
smoothly
John L. Lewis deserves the thanks of
the American people for defending so
vigorously and so successfully the closed
shop principle, which guarantees to hun
dreds of thousands of miners and other
workers the pursuit of happiness.
