Finds High Meat
Prices Annoying.

To the Editor of The Star:
1t looked for awhile as though the
only vote safe for the New Deal in 1910
would be the vegetarian's vote. Meat
was so high the meatless meat-eaters
were growing between each bite. Now
vegetables have taken their place with
meat in the price stratosphere The next
move for the average citizen will be to
HE himself to the fields and start grazing
with the rest of the goats. Of course,
he would no sooner master the technique
OF manipulating a cud than the New
Dealers would slap processing tax on
cuds
An Indians prominence in his tribe
used to be measured by the number of
scalpS he had been able to take. A
Washingtonians financial standing in
the community may soon be determined
by the number of times a wear the
nelghbors smell the odor of steak coming
from his kitchen. I never have session
with a Washington meat dealer that I
do not feel at its conclusion like Esau
must have felt when Jacob got through
gypping him of his birthright in the
famous mess of pottage dicker between
the two brothers.
Seriously, the Republicans will be miss
ing great bet if they don't trot out that
old -getter-high cost of Hving-in
1910. There never was more propitious
time for it, assuming the price of food is
as high throughout the country as in
Washington.
On the other hand it would be a right
smart move on the part of the New
Dealers to start an investigation" of
these high food prices. 1t might attract
national attention and beat the Repub-
icans to the punch. They wouldn't have
to really do anything about it-just fire
of lot OF blank cartridges, kick up
lot OF dust and pull the wool over the
eyes Of the unsuspecting voters. as usual,

Opposed to Use Here
OF "OutSide Milk

To the Editor Of The Star:
Senators and congressman from
Indiana, Wisconsin and other far-awav
States want to sell milk here from
Indiana. Wisconsin and other States.
These Senators and congressman would
take Washington money away from
Washington people and send it to their
constituents in Indiana, Wisconsin and
other States. Except for a few who may
be on responsible District of Columbia
committees. these Senators and Con-
gressmen care but little for the health
OF District of Columbia citizens.
The local Health Department wants
to provide healthful milk but the Dis
trict health officer is told what to do
by Congress through the medium of
laws passed by Senators and Congress
men from milk producing States The
health officer from time to time has
made some foolish regulations to be fol-
lowed by the farmers supplying milk
here, but in most cases Congress and
not the health officer is to blame for
these foolish regulations.
As to the price of milk, farmers in
Maryland and Virginia were paid less
than 10 cents per gallon for surplus
milk sold in Washington from January
l to April 80 this year. The officials
Of the Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Association and the officials
of the large milk distributing concerns
care but little what the farmer gets
for his milk so long as they are able
to draw high salaries by taxing the
farmer l cent per gallon for his milk
and by keeping the spread" between the
price paid the farmer and the price paid
by the consumer as large as possible
Only few months ago, the officials
of the Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers' Association "cut" the price paid
to the farmer 3 cents per gallon with
out changing the price paid by the
consumer. Thus the spread" between
the price paid the farmer and the price
charged the consumer was increased
cents per gallon to the benefit of the
distributors.
For many long years there has never
been a month in which the farmer
did not sell great quantity of milk on
the Washington market as surplus" and
at prices varying from less than 10
cents per gallon to about l8 cents per
gallon-about ~ cents to AZ cents
per quart.
Are you getting your part of this
surplus? If so, what are you paying
for it? 8. M. BUTLER.

spoiled by the saxophone being played
off-key one way or the other.
Sometimes this is due to the leader
himself, who plays fiat or sharp every
time he comes in. 1t is particularly
noticeable on the records. The disc is
true enough as long as he keeps out of
it, but just let him start to blow, and
the whole thing falls fiat in more senses
than one.
Naturally, nobody in the band is going
to tell the boss that he can't play in
tune!
All bands, military and otherwise, in
clude the saxophone.
Some of the best of the French bands
have regular batteries of them.
The instrument was used in a few
American bands before the Civil War, so
it may be realized that it is utterly un-
fair to view it as simply a new trick in
strument of the dance bands. 1t loans
itself to the latter usage, undoubtedly
but that is no reason for regarding it
with real hostility. So do the drums
but no one froWns upon them. The
trumpet and the clarinet are favorites
in all dance bands for all sorts of mus-
cal high jinks. but still no one has any
of the peculiar i'll feeling toward them
which SO many, let us insist, far too
many, feel for the saxophone.
The French have natural pride in
this instrument.
Not only is it widely used there. but
including Debussy, have composed for it,
It's luscious tone, when used on good
material, and used with real feeling and
technical command, can vie with any
thing to be heard from the lips of man.
There can be little doubt that the un-
fortunate public opinion of this instru-
ment is partly due to the fact that so
young men playing it.
One who does not play the saxophone
cannot help but wonder if this smiling
approach, technically speaking, is a
good one.
This steady grin, in the photographs,
has given light touch TO the instru-
ment which has been all too readily ac-
cepted by some; as far as the player is
concerned, perhaps he should stop smil-
ing and get down to business by putting
his mouth into the proper position to
play his instrument we'll
The saxophone, evidently. is easy TO
play only in a sense, and that a purely
superficial one. This is proved by the
large number of young people who are
induced to take up the instrument but
who never Go anything with it.

Departure

beth have ended their visit to the
Capital of the United States, but it
Is the hope of the whole community
of Washington that they sometime
may return. To say that they cap
tured the hearts of the people is to
be guilty of an understatement.
Perhaps never before within the
memory of living Americans has it
happened that such depths of
friendly feeling were touched. From
first to last, their Britannia majesties
received at the hands of citizens Of
every class the homage of a sincere
affection.
The explanation of popular appre-
citation of the King and the Queen
Is not to be found exclusively in the
fact that they are the first reigning
sovereigns of Great Britain to So
journ in the District of Columbia.
George and Elizabeth would be
lovable persons in a private station.
1t is true of them as providentially
1t also is true of many other couples
that they are endowed with distinc-
tive charm. Graciousness is more
than manner with them. Rather,
1t is natural characteristic plainly
manifest to every observer. They
are possessed of spiritual maturity
magnetically forceful yet gentle as
a fragile flower.
Neither of the royal guests arbi-
trarily may command the applause
Of the multitude. They are symbols
of the power which holds British
civilization together not rulers in the
accurate meaning of the word. Con-
stitutional tradition governs every
action, every utterance, every thought
Of their existence. The pattern estab-
lished for them is rigid and compel

human. Spectators who watched
them during their reception of the
Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts un-
derstood how profoundly genuine and
sincere they are. Perhaps momen-
tarily they thought of their own
children waiting for them across the
Atlantic.
But the King and the Queen must
not be supposed to be casualistic in
their attitude toward the world of
which they are part. They can be
deeply serious in their performance
OF their duty. At Mount Vernon there
was a solemn interlude and at Arling-
ton still another. The Wreaths offered
In tribute to the leader who sep
arated the Thirteen Colonies from
England and to the Unknown Soldier
who died that freedom might not be
separated from the experience of
later generations were not merely
decorations. Instead, they represent
an ideal which the English-speak-
Ing commonWealths are proud to
share and which the present occu-
pant OF the imperial throne persona
f1es. Plainly, he is conscious of his
grave responsibility; and his help
mate, aiding him in the bearing of
his burden, is no less notably aware
Of it.
Their majesties may be weary
from their travels. But they will be
strengthened and supported by their
memories of them through years to
come. Let it also be mentioned that
the same advantage accrues to the
cause OF peace and harmony which
they are serving-the survival of
ordered and disciplined liberty and
the hope for progress in this troubled
yet not intolerable earth.

swamped by foreign goods, we must
put as good men on our school COM

Commission Rejects
Abandonment Of
butternut Car Line
Finds Need for
Provision Of StreomIine
Service to Tokomu

Provision should be made for the
use of modern streamline cars on
the Takoma service on the Georgia
avenue route, the Public Utilities
Service declared yesterday when it
rejected an application by the Capt.
tai Transit Co. for abandonment Of
the Butternut section Of the service.
The proposal of the company was
debated at public hearings October
30 and November 13 and IA. The
commission found a definite de-
sire" on the part of residents of
the community to have streetcar
service continued and cars of the
Presidents Conference type en-
ployed. The company had proposed
to extend bus service to take the
place of present streetcar service If
the section were abandoned.
AS now constituted, the commits
sion found, the Butternut street
branch would not permit use OF
the modern type Of cars, such as
have been purchased for use on
the Georgia avenue routes proper,
because they must be turned around
at each end of the line, being cars
operated by one man.
The commission also stated in its
order that it felt consideration
again should be given to the feasi-
bility and desirability of connecting
the Georgia avenue car line with
the Eleventh street car line near
the end of the latter's northern
terminus, near Monroe street.. Sug-
gestions to this end were consid-
cred some years ago, when the COM
mission made series of studies in
connection with extensive plans for
rerouting of streetcars and changes
in tracks.
The commission also authorized
the transit company to construct a
loop in Commodore Barney Circle
in connection with the new Penn
sylvania Avenue Bridge and de-
velopment of the circle. The new
arrangements had the approval of
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
