the use of sulfanilamide and its near
relative, sulfapyridine, that medical
experts are exceedingly hopeful OF
bringing a sharp reduction in pneu-
monia fatalities. ...
All of which impels the medicos to
the conclusion that lives will get
longer as civilization progresses. And
while the span of life is extended, the
period Of mans productivity in the
realm of industry will be heightened
correspondingly. This is bound to
have an effect on the national econ
omy that will concern leaders of in
dustry and of government. Indeed,
the problem now is being studied,
according to Doctors Piersol and
Bortz Already" they report, many
industries have modified their views
on workers in the older years. It is
beginning to be appreciated that
those over forty often bring to an
industry certain advantages more
than compensating for any alleged
fault associated with older persons.
So life really holds vast opportu-
mites of service for today's man OF
forty. And as the seekers after longer
life pursue their valuable researches
ever further, the time no doubt will
come when life will begin at fifty or
slxty-and old-age assistance will be
something reserved for frisky CEN
tenarians.

Personal Safety Up
To Individual.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
1.-The amber lights" and their more
extended use have lately been the
subject of a very good letter to The
Star. AS for the traffic situation as
whole, tunnels and such have been
recommended. Excellent, but this takes
time and costs lot of money.
In many instances it is the personal
equation that counts: watch the lights,
watch yourself and watch the other
fellow. Finding yourself marooned, as
a pedestrian, in traffic jam at the
corner, your best chance is to stand
stock still. With cars to the right of
you, cars to the left of you And cars
in front of you 1t is not advisable to
hop from pillar to post. In the mean
time you have show. Two or three
may cuss you out while circling around
you, but you should worry, you still
have the use of your limbs and wind
enough to cuss back.
For the children have nothing to
offer. They'll simply have to learn,
by trial and error, that this is the
machine age and that the race does
not always 60 to the swift. In any
case, stop and look! Also listen to the
officers whistle. All other sounds are
mostly bad language.

Free Silver

In 1896 the great issue of the coun-
try was free silver According to
William Jennings Bryan, the freer it
was, the better. Since then, this
great principle has been heartily in
dorsed by the panhandling fraternity
whose slogan is Brother can you
spare a dime?" Bryan's contention
was that unless silver was accepted
by the Treasury, crown of thorns
would be pressed upon the brow of
labor, and mankind would be cruci-
fed upon cross of gold. He would
have died happier if he could have
looked ahead a bit to 1889 and seen
the currency apparently on the debt
standard, the Treasury desperately
grabbing at everything it can get,
labor crowned with administration
support, and not enough gold in sight
to cruelty flea.
Be that as it may, the free silver
bug is still in existence, and has bit
ten syndicate of Italian mariners
in the salvage business. Checking
over a list of treasure-laden ships
that had sunk, they decided that
there was silver in them thar hulls-
free silver, particularly in the hull of
the Merida, resting since 1911 on the
ocean floor somewhere off the Vir-
ginia capes. It has turned out to
be more free in theory than in prac-
tice, and about a hundred thousand
dollars has been sunk in the venture.
To date, the submarine miners
have recovered a job lot of water
soaked clothing of the vintage of
1911, valueless except for the wom-
ems hats, which are said to look no
worse than many worn at present,
and represent an item of overhead
which may be converted into an
asset. There has, however, been a
slight depreciation in the silver con-
tent of the Merida, as all that has
been brought up so far is one two
pound ingot worth all of seven dol
lars and twenty cents.

Relief for Trees

WaShington's trees are in need of
relief, so the Office of National Capt.
tai Parks is preparing to go to the
rescue with the aid of a $4,000
Public Works allotment. Half hun
dred tree surgeons and a force of
laborers will be put to work on this
important project. They will ampu-
tate decaying limbs, remove girdling
roots which strangle trees to death,
forcibly feed trees in need of artificial
nourishment, brace weak trunks and
limbs and render other technical aid
devised by arborists.
A project of this kind is especially
desirable in the Nations Capital, for
much of the citys beauty lies in the
sylvan setting planned and nurtured
by Federal and municipal officials.
With the development of Washington
from village of great open spaces
into the metropolis of concrete, stone,
brick and steel of today, the majestic
trees arching its thoroughfares have
suffered sorely. Time was when
trees had plenty of fertile ground
through which to spread their thirsty
roots, but now their water supply is
curtailed by concrete sidewalks and
paved streets, their roots are cut to
make way for underground utilities
and their foliage is scared by re-
f1ected heat from streets and build
ings. Occasionally whole rows of full
grown trees must be sacrificed to
make way for essential street widen
ing programs.
Fortunately, Washington's harassed
trees have not been entirely for
gotten in this era of progress. With
the limited funds at their disposal,
municipal and Federal park authori-
ties have sought to protect the city's
trees from unnecessary hardships. 1t
is struggle requiring adequate
funds and ceaseless vigilance, The
Public Works allotment is more than
welcome at this time, for the drought
and heat of this summer have caused
tremendous damage to foliage.
Money so expended is sound invest
ment in the future of the Nations
city beautiful"

The Business Outlook

Accumulatlng evidence of the rising
demand for new capital iniects the
most significant as we'll as the most
cheering note in the bullish business
forecast just issued by the Chamber
OF Commerce of the United States.
Business for months has empha-
sized the argument that idle millions
were available to stimulate recovery
II there was some encouragement in
the way of tax relief and assurance
that further legislative experimental
ton would be curbed. That this flow
into commerce channels has started
indicates clearly that developments
along the hoped-for lines have bred
a new confidence.
The chamber said the upsWing
started when it became apparent
that Congress would ease the tax
load, the revision that eventually was
voted revamping the corporate tax
structure and wiping out the last
vestige of the undistributed profits
tax.
Due note also is taken of "other
favorable developments" on Capitol
Hill, the reference obviously being to
the new independence of Executive
control exhibited by Congress, notably
in the rejection of the proposed huge
spendinglending bill.
In summing up the recital of ad-
vances generally along the industrial
front, the chamber INDUCES in a bit
OF cryptic phrase-making to raise the
possibility of single retarding ele-
adverse influences from the
outside" Conceivably, such "inf1u-
ences" might spring from several
sources, but unless the strength of
the present movement is deceptive,
these probably would have to be of
serious proportions to cause a set
back.

Danger Seen in Federal
Fiscal Policies.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Jay Franklin asks in his column, to-
day, "On what grounds business felt
that the return of its confidence de-
pended on abandoning the normal re-
sponsibilities of democratic government
and on crippling the only central au-
thority for promoting economic recov-
cry within the United States" In de-
fense of public works programs and the
lending bill, he states, mo groups of
individual entrepeneurs are thereby
robbed of a chance to build competing
roads, bridges and schools" 1.-THE lend
ing program" he says, itself proposed
to make use of the enormous volume of
idle banking credit for certain wholly
economic purposes" and Imitation is the
one monetary process which actually
stimulates business" "" the process
is one in which the monetary value of
every commodity automatically rises
from day to day."
To understand the opposition to the
lending program We must first of all
understand that bank credit is merely
the result of debt. The used banking
credit in the United States today has
been created by some one going into
unproductive debt Most of it has been
created by Government debt and is
frozen.
If it had been created by private debt
Of q productive character 1t would not

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Trace1ueu.

SO points relative humidity, is just about
ideal, whereas 10 degrees with different
humidity may be either too cold or too
warm.
Old General Humidity, as most per-
sons realized this summer hereabouts,
II not before, has great deal to do with
how one feels in hot weather.
There have been plenty of days in
Washington during the past Is years
with temperatures as high as 104 degrees,
without the weather striking the average
person as so disagreeable as many days
this summer, when the thermometer
showed but 80 degrees.
This combination of good heat and
much water in the air forms perfect
blanket, as it were, causing the ac-
cumulation of oils on the skin, which
further augments the feeling of heat.
The less clothing, therefore, the better,
in weather such as this.
Fortunately for the male portion Of
the city, the white shirt rebellion has
struck Washington in force
You see men today in their shirt
sleeves in public places who a few years
ago would not have been caught down.
town without their coats for any money.
This happy change has come about
through the incorporation into the Gov
ernment service of large numbers of men
from the South and West where they
always have gone without coats in
summer.
1t is sensible, hygienic custom, espe-
cially in an age when the use of de-
odorants has become universal.
Manufacturers are ready to supply
men with all the fine shirts they need,
fancy or otherwise. This summer there
have been some really fine striped ties
on the market, perfect for wear with
white shirts, than which there are none
better, after all.
Ask man why he wears a coat
during hot weather. He probably will
nave dozen reasons, but the real one
is that he is too fat around the stomach.
Let him reduce, sensibly, and feel
better all around-especially around his
waist. He will have lightness to him
he has not known for years.
Then he will decide that going with
out coat is, sure enough, exactly the
thing to do.
The mind, it must be admitted. has
something to do with ones personal ac-
ceptance of the weather. There is
nothing either good or bad, but thinking
makes it so,' said Hamlet. The Bible

finds itself at the moment, 1t may be
worthwhile to mention that Henri
Dunant was motivated in his service
to peace by his sorrowful experience
with war. The young Swiss philan-
thropist had been inspired by hu-
manitarian ideals from the start of
his career, yet he might have re-
manned little more than a kindly
dreamer had it not been for the
chance which brought him to the
battlefield of Solferino on June "a,
1859. In that tragic scene he dis
covered the work he was destined
to do for the race to which he be-
longed.
Clara Barton in America likewise
was familiar with the necessity of
organized mercy to reassert civiliza-
ton in the face of carnage. She
could not personally attend the
struggles at Bull Run and Shiloh,
but she went among the wounded
survivors of those contests and saw
with her own tear -dimmed eyes the
price which men must pay for the
madness of resort to arms. Accident
or Providence, as one may prefer,
took her to Europe in the autumn
preceding the Franco-Prussian con-
f1ict; and she labored in Paris and
Strassburg very much as earlier she
had toiled in Washington and
Charleston. Her knowledge of the
work equipped her for the appeals
she made to President Garfield in
1881 and President Arthur in 1882.
1t also provided her with the duty
and the privilege Of leadership in the
American Red Cross through its
infancy and gave her the right to
speak for the United States at the
conferences of Vienna in 1897 and
st. Petersburg in 1902.
But the universal cause of relief
for suffering is not limited in it's
power of attraction to merely few
great souls. It draws upon the
Instinct of all people. So on the
occasion of the celebration of the
first three-quarters of a century
OF its existence the Red Cross
symbolizes the positive aspect of life
In turbulent earth. 1t was wanted
in the past, it is wanted in the
troubled present, it will be wanted
IN the future. To aid in it's support
is to contribute to the welfare of
humanity in the face of disaster of
whatever sort.
