WELL" said Harold, thank God
our police force isn't like that" In a
superior, British mood he went down
to lunch =.
After lunch Harold usually joined
Mrs. Rice and her daughter for coffee.
He decided to make no change in his
usual behavior This was the first time
he had seen Elsie since the night
before. She was very pale and OBJ
viously still suffering from shock, but
she made gallant endeavor to behave
as usual, uttering commonplaces about
the weather and the scenery.
They commented on a new guest
who had just arrived. trying to guess
his nationality. Harold thought
mustache like that must be French -
Elsie said German - and Mrs. Rice
thought he might be Spanish.
There was no one else but them
selves on the terrace, with the excep-
ton of the two Polish ladies, who we're
sitting at the extreme end, both doing
fancy work. As always. Harold felt
queer shiver Of apprehension pass over
him. Those curved beaks of noses.
those long clawlike hands!
A page boy approached and told
Mrs. Rice she was wanted. She rose
and followed him. At the entrance to
the hotel they saw her encounter a
police official in full uniform.
Elsie caught her breath. "You don't
think - anything's gone wrong?"
"Oh no, no, nothing of that kind"
But Harold knew a sudden pang of
fear. He said: Your mothers been
wonderfulr'
Il know. Mother is a great fighter.
She'll never sit down under defeat"
She shivered But it's all horribler'

glasses.
Mrs. Rice said: "To the futurev'
Harold smiled at Elsie: "To your
happiness!'
And to you-to your success! I'm
sure you're going to be great man."
They felt gay, almost lighthearted.
From the far end of the terrace the
two bird-like women rose. They came
across the stone flags. With little bows
they sat down by Mrs. Rice. One of
them began to speak. The other one
let her eyes rest on Elsie and Harold.
There was little smile on her lips. 1t
was not, Harold thought, a nice
smile -.
He looked over at Mrs. Rice She
was listening to the Polish woman, and
though he couldn't understand word,
the expression on Mrs. Rice's face was
clear enough. All the old anguish had
come back. She listened and occa-
sionally spoke briefly.
Presently the two sisters rose and
with stiff little bows went into the
hotel.
Harold said hoarsely: What is it?"
Mrs. Rice answered him in the
quiet, hopeless tones of despair.
"Those women are going to black

Help for Industry

In two notable speeches within the
past few days, Undersecretary of the
Treasury Hanes has indicated that
the administration is going farther
along the road of cooperation with
industry to promote recovery.
Before the Bond Club of New York
and in the Herald-T Tribune Forum,
Mr. Hanes emphasized his belief that
the tax-and-spend approach is not
the remedy for the basic economic i'll
of the country-unemployment-but
that the cure will come only through
increasing industrial production, and
that this In turn will result only from
maintenance of conditions under
which private enterprise may make
reasonable profits" and to which the
Government must contribute through
"a fair and intelligent tax structure"
"The most powerful tax structure
in the history of the country" is not
producing revenue sufficient for its
needs, Mr.. Hanes pointed out, and
will not unless business improves fur
ther, thereby developing additional
sources on which to levy and, at the
same time, lifting some of the load
imposed by the jobless.
That is precisely the argument that
spokesmen for business have ad-

man security" Bismarck observed:
France is a sovereign nation and as
such lord supreme over every square
inch of her territory"
Advisers of the same ilk molested Bis
mark with the suggestion The army
Of France should be limited to 100000
men to insure German military superior
ity." The old statesman countered:
LAS sovereign nation France is and
remains the sole and supreme judge
with reference to all military matters
involving, army, navy and Notifications"
When France later showed an inclina-
ton to acquire colonies, the same i'm
pudent clique of meddlers demanded of
Bismarck that he should lay all kinds of
obstacles IN the way Of French colonial
aspirations. Then Bismarck spoke one
of his greatest words: Il do not dream
of doing such foolish thing. On the
contrary, I am glad that the French
are ready to devote some energy to this
field; this activity will assuage their
bitter grief for the loss of Alsace-Lor-
raine. I rather shall further their
endeavor'
So the French colonial empire is in
part due to Bismarcks benevolent atti-

Sionificunt Anniversary

The Star joins with many others
in congratulating the colored divi-
sions of the public school system for
their progress during three quar-
ters of a century of existence in the
District.
In the foyer of the National Mu-
scum an exhibit of the work done
in the Negro schools today will
shortly come to close, after being
on view for a month. This exhibit
brings to an end the formal observ-
ance which began last spring on the
anniversary of the founding of the
first public school for Negroes in the
Nations Capital.
It is estimated that more than
10000 persons have seen the repre-
sentative work of the various school
levels which has been on display.
They can not have failed to come
away with an appreciation of what
public education has meant to the
race and how adequately the Dis
trict's Negro community has JUS
titled it.

Endorses Safety Value
OF Knee-Hi Demonstrations.
To the Editor Of The Star.

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t gives me pleasure to advise you
that, at the regular monthly meeting
of the Executive Committee of the
Citizens Association of Chevy Chase, D..
c., resolution was adopted unanimously
in commendation of your company in
sponsoring the safety demonstrations
of DR.. Brunson's dog Knee-Hi for the
benefit of local school children, their
relatives and friends.
In the discussion that preceded the
adoption Of the resolution, the comments
indicated very general feeling that the
lessons drawn from the demonstrations
would be clearly and indelibly impressed
on the minds of the witnesses, influence
ing the latter in their contacts with
adults to spread the doctrine of safe
traffic practices.
There is much need in our municipality
for the promoting of pedestrian safety, as
fatality figures are made up largely of
pedestrians, and 1t is gratifying to feel
that a new and novel method of ap-
preaching that problem has been dis
covered, and that highly beneficial results
are likely to ensue.

vanced for several years in the face
of failure OF Government pump
printing" to solve the unemployment
problem.
In his address to the Bond Club,
Mr.. Hanes, reiterated that a great
need today is more venture capital
in industry.
"Your group should have no SYM
pathy with the view sometimes ex-
pressed that we are suffering from
matured economy; that our economic
frontiers have disappeared; that
there is not ample room in the ma
tional economy for new investments
in enterprise" he said. I'VE would
be sad indeed If we found this re-
strictee philosophy accepted" And
perhaps to spur industry in this d.
rection, he spoke hopefully of the
prospects for helpful tax legislation
at the next session of Congress on
the basis of studies now under way.
Mr.. Hanes' views command respect
because they are based on experience.
He is in position to make them felt,
and it is good sign that in this
particular instance, in speaking en-
couragingly to business, he pre-
sumably reflected the administration
attitude.

Cites Excerpt From
Jewish Record.

To the Editor Of The Star:
While all the strife is going on In
Europe, I don't think much attention has
been paid to group which is very much
interested in its progress and meaning
that is, the American Jew.
Surely the union Of the governments
of Hitler and Stain was blow to the
henchmen of Kuhn, James True, and
Moseley. It doesn't exactly tally up with
their claims" and theories" of the Jew
being Communist.
Perhaps the following extract from the
contemporary Jewish Record sums up
the situation in a nutshell:
while the unexpected announcement
of the Na1-Soviet rapprochement has
been a source of surprise to the entire
world, 1t seems to have been even more
shocking to the Nazi and anti-Jewish
propagandists who have built most Of
their nefarious structure Of vilification
and argument on the simple Nazi prece.

To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
I propose new principle to govern
the relationships between neutral and
warning nations. I propose that we no
longer submit to the dictates of nations
who tell us what we can transport in
our ships and with whom We can trade
hold it is not for the warning nations
to dictate to neutral and peaceful ma
tions, but on the contrary it is up to the
latter to compel the former to confine
their destruction of life and property to
the war zones, and to declare that any
act committed outside of them is piracy
and to be treated as such.
I therefore declare the principle of
independence of action. That is, if
ship flying the American flag, loaded
with American goods of whatsoever quail
ity or quantity, leaves an American port
for any port on the globe, neutral or
belligerent, that ship must not be molest-
ed, attacked, searched or sunk, but must
be allowed to anchor at the port of its
destination and to return to its home

the first and greatest rights and should

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Tracewell.

That Is, warm days in November are
good for putting in tulip bulbs, too.
In some respects, the later they are
put in, the better, for in such curious
seasons as we have been having, with
alternate warm and cold spells, there is
some chance of bulbs coming up If they
are planted too early and hot weather
continues.
In November, there is not much chance
Of warm weather continuing.
So those who have not put in the
so-called Dutch bulbs ought not to
despair of doing so.
Until ground freezes is time enough
There Is some chance of waiting too
long. One of the dangers lies in hold
Ing the bulbs in too-Warm house.
This will cause shoots to put forth
What to do, then? Should the bulbs be
put in the earth at once, or will there
be any harm in holding them out?
Most people think they should be
planted Immediately. Probably there is
no harm in holding them, provided they
can be placed in cooler room until time
is found for planting
If one does not purchase them until
later, the store worries along with them
Usually they are not kept so warm, and
the shoots do not grow much.

we'll the smell of seed house
1t is not exactly like the smell of any
other store.
1t has charm of its own for all who
love the earth and the many fine things
Of the earth.
Earth's plant children have keen
aroma unique among living things. Even
in decay they are not offensive
This smell of the earth is most pleas
ant to the gardener, reminding him of
many happy hours spent with the soil.
Seeds and bulbs of all kinds have their
own individual odor.
Seeds OF lawn grasses, as mixed for
the trade, have an aroma much like
that of some good blend of tobaccos.
One should not forget to smell care
fully of each package just as it is opened
Then the full glory of the earth smites
one fair in the face.
These are choice aromas, unspoiled
and unadulterated.
Even troWels, after long use, get to
have an odor all their own.
Lawn mowers take on a distinctive
fragrance. Old rakes and brooms, much
used about the yard, become perfumed
with natures distillation.
Rainy days bring out these odors,
whether in the yard or shed, but they
are present at all times, and it is up to
the gardener to get his full share of them
as he goes along.

Armory Objection

The proposal to substitute a red
brick facing for stone In construction
of the new National Guard armory
which, after many years of study at
last is approaching realization, is ILL
advised
During the long period in which the
National Guard has been seeking an
armory which would provide ade-
quate facilities for the efficient train
ing and operation of it's units, far
seeing citizens and planners have
visualized the location at the eastern
terminus of East Capitol street as the
ideal site for an outstanding COM
munity development. Suggestions
have been made, and still are under
consideration, for a suitable civic
auditorium, a municipal stadium
capable of accommodating large
crowds and providing space for out
door drills as we'll as athletic events,
and, perhaps, an aquatic sports CEN
ter. The need for all these has been
pressing and only objections involv-
ing the joint financing by the Federal
and District governments have stood
In the way.
In the long range plan for the COM
plete development of the area under
these plans, the armory was to form
an integral part, although its special
use was to be kept in mind. In other
words, the armory was not to replace
the auditorium, since building
which would fulfill the needs of the
militia efficiently would not be en-
tirely acceptable as community
meeting place, nor would it be avail
able for such use at all times without
interfering with the Guards work.
But, above all, the development Of
the center has been visualized by
those with the true interests of the
city at heart as an integral part of
the program by which 1t is hoped to
develop properly the East Capitol
area. At no time has it been pro-
posed to erect monumental edifices
for the community services on the
site. The armory, auditorium and
stadium were to be primarily Of
ultilitarian design, but of an archi-
lecture which would contribute to,
rather than detract from, the beauty
which is the natural heritage and
future destiny of East Capitol. 1t is
true the stone facing would be little
more expensive, but since brick would
be entirely out of keeping with the
plans for the future, the additional
COST as an investment in civic beau
tification, would be justified. Already
various citizens associations of the
Eastern section of the city have
voiced their objections to the use of
brick for this purpose. Getting the
armory is the important thing, but
building 1t as an asset to the plan Of
the Capital City is just as vital. It
must serve for many years to come.

Recalls Craftsmanship
OF Bismarck.

To the Editor Of The Star:
"The world is ruled with little wisdom"
This was the impression of the Swedish
Chancellor Oxenstierna.
It is almost miracle that nation
which never was credited with political
genius once, for period OF 80 years,
possessed the greatest statesman of
Europe, Otto, Prince of Bismarck.
When after the Franco-Prussian war
some wiseacres of Germany advised him
to compel the French to acknowledge in
the preamble of the treaty of peace that
France alone was responsible for the war
Bismarck replied: This would be an
act of contemplate vindictiveness. There
is no room in politics for revenge. The
French are, Notwithstanding their de-
feat, still great and proud nation. To
sprinkle salt and pepper into their
wounds would be an act of wanton cru
city. We, rather, shall try our best to
convert our former foe into friend"
Soon the French made efforts to estab-
ish a republic. Again the statesman
had to fight of some would-be advisers
who whispered into his ears: Germany
must not allow the French to organize
a republican form of government. The
republican spirit is aggressive and is like
ly to invade our country. We have had
an inkling of such possibilities in 1880
and 1848." Bismarck's answer was: "As
a sovereign nation France alone has to
choose form of government that re-
spends to her requirements. Moreover,
the Prussian monarchy rests on such a
basis that no form of government which
the French see fit to establish will
endanger it."
Petty advisers of the type that annoyed
Bismarck beyond endurance approached
him with this suggestion: THE part Of
France near the Rhine province. should

Justice, c. O. D.

Following an old Philadelphia Gus
tom, Joseph Galloway was languish-
ing. He was making an even more
thorough job of it than most of his
fellow Philadelphians, inasmuch as
he was resting in a Jail awaiting
trial on charges of intoxication. His
thoughts strayed to bars, past, pres
ent and future. He had been in
few good ones the night before, was
now surrounded by some very solid
ones, and was about to go up before
another one-the bar of justice. To
avoid this, he stuffed paper and
matches in the keyhole of his cell
door and refused to come out,
The court perforce shifted from
high into neutral while pondering
the problem. It was soon solved.
Not for nothing is the term "Phila-
delphia lawyer" synonymous with
shrewd legal tactics. If Joe would
not come to court, then the court
would have to 60 to Joe. The hall of
justice, consisting of the corridor
outside Joe's reinforced boudoir, was
a trifle jammed, but the judge and
his associates said that they were
willing to try anything once, even
Joe. There was even some talk of
trying him twice, the extra indict-
ment being that of unauthorized use
Of cell. Lovers of fair play will be
glad to learn that it came to nothing.
Convicted on the original charge, he
was given a fully legal and retroac-
tive title to his cell for thirty days.
