gress. The Presidents action in
bouncing that $15O,0OO,0o0 relief de-
ficiency item back to the Capitol so
soon after Congress had rejected it
was cited as an indication Of presi-
Dental non-co-operation.
Particularly pleasing to the Repub-
licans was the word that Democratic
leaders, somewhat ruefully perhaps,
pointed to the minority's efforts as
an excellent example of effective
close harmonizing. It was pointed
out that the Republicans show the
effects of careful rehearsal and di-
rection. They are in their seats when
needed, whereas some OF the Demo-
Gratis have developed habit of being
elsewhere or remaining strangely
silent when their voices are in ur-
gent demand. Administration leaders
spoke advisedly, indeed, when they
warned, according to the reports, that
unless the Democrats get into tune
before very long the chances of an
encore by the party in 1910 will be
extremely slim.

Democratic Discord

Reports that have trickled out of
that harmony caucus of HOUSE Dem
ocrats indicate that all was not har-
mony behind the closed doors of the
caucus room. Echoes of slightly sour
notes that lent discordant tone to
the intended symphony are reverber-
ating around the Capitol corridors
and those sour notes fall like sweet
music upon the appreciative ears of
the Republican minority.
The let's-pull-together refrain got
OF to dulcet start under the joint
conductorship Of Speaker Bankhead
and Majority Leader Rayburn, the re-
ports have it, but some of the Choir
listers refused to sing or to stick to
the key. Some even made up their
own words, rhyming purge" with
"dirge," for example. 1t was rather
disconcerting to the harmonizers. An
urgent plea was voiced for better CO.

Suggests Standing Reward
In Hit-Run Cases.
To the Editor of The Star

To the Editor of The Star:
1t is now apparent that there is an
epidemic of hit-and-run driving in WASH
ington and it is high time this con-
temptibls form of law violation be broken
up. It brings sorrow and mental an
guish to the family and relatives beyond
description and any one who is guilty of
this unspeakable cruelty is, of course, a
wanton criminal and should be dealt
with accordingly. I sympathize to the
fullest extent with the family and rela-
tives of the young page boy who was
recently killed by a hit-and-run driver.
Their sorrow is mine, for the same thing
was brought home to our family when
my mother was mercilessly struck down
by a hit-and-run driver last Novem-
ber 8.
Why don't the police or the city gov
eminent offer standing reward for the
capture of a hit-and-run driver, regard
less Of whether the person struck is
prominently known or not? I don't
blame the Washington police for not
being able to apprehend this kind of q
murderer, for they prove to be the hard
est kind to find. But we citizens cannot
permit this ruthless manning and kill
ing Of our loved ones to 60 on.

Fiscal Punuceu

HaraSSed household heads have
habit of complaining to their families
about the scarcity of cash in the
home. go easy" they say, "do you
think money grows on trees?" They
may be interested to know that at
one time it used to do just that.
Some centuries ago the Aztecs of
Mexico used cocoa beans for money,
in spite Of the fact that they mined
vast quantities of gold and silver. The
arrangement worked for centuries,
until the arrival of the conquistadors
from Spain. Spain was not at that
time, as it now is, on the bullet stand
ard; the basis of their wealth was
precious metal, which they carefully
explained to the rude Aztecs, who
were eventually converted to the gold
standard of civilization when they
found that their chiefs could not be
ransomed with cocoa.
If the world in general, and the
United States in particular, could
somehow manage to get back on the
cocoa standard, financial problems
would be greatly simplified. It would
no longer be necessary to dig franti-
cally through an ever diminishing
list of brain trust personnel every
time a Government appropriation
was exhausted and another crisis de-
veloped. Practically anybody, picked
at random off the street, could bal
ance the budget with cocoa What
could be easier than to have the un-
employed plant trees, pick their own
salary every pay day? Foreign ex-
change would be easily obtained by
maintaining plantations in other
countries. There would be no trou-
BILE whatsoever in realizing the Cali
fornia dream of thirty seeds every
Thursday, once the crop was ripe.
Meanwhile the Government could be
run by the sale of enough tax-free
four per cent cocoa bonds of 1850,
which would be snapped up as a
chocolate-edged investment. BY 1850
we would be an eighty billion bean
nation, with nothing to worry about
except the minor problem of shift

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Tracepeu,

hungry boy goes for them more per-
sistently.
If you want mockingbirds, try dough-
nuts.
Conversely, If you don't want them,
don't put out doughnuts.
~ +
Raisins, too
We would not say that you can secure
large focks of mockingbirds, If you put
out raisins, seeded or unseeded.
Mockers don't come that way, Of
course.
Usually just one or pair, to any yard.
Sometimes one or two will cover an entire
block.
If raisins will attract them, lack of the
sticky things may keep them away.
They are very fond, too, of almost any
sort of bread.
They like bite of suet, now and then
If such foods as these are kept out of
the yard, it may do something toward
discouraging too active mockingbird.
We say may, not will, of course.
"'Tain't Necessarily So," went the
popular song, which title applies very
well to the garden mockingbird problem.
Belligerent Knockers redouble their ac-
tivities when the first genuine feel of
spring gets in the air.
No doubt the songsters have other
ways to tell real springs approach be-
sides listening to the early strains of the
cardinals and robins.
We believe that persistent campaign
to oust too warlike mockingbird might
get results, but it would be an au-day
job
A Sunday might be devoted to it.
One would have to take up a stand or
seat in the yard.
A veritable personal appearance, as 1t
were.
Then one would have to make shooing
motions at the Knockers, each and every
time they came near.
These motions would have to be COM
bined with as much restraint as DOS
sible, in order to cause as little general
bird alarm as feasible.
The mockingbird is highly intelli-
gent bird.
He would get it, after awhile.
He would realize that it was he, and
not the other birds, which was being
shooed
Would he take the hint?
1t would all depend upon the bird. If
he were one of these mean, scoundrel
mocklngblrds, he wouldn't, of course.
IT he were just an average mocker, he
"oulo, and leave the yard in peace
thereafter
It's scheme worth trying, at any rate,
only don't put too much vigor into the
shooing.
Be restrained Shoe in kindly fash
Ion, If you shoe at all,
