Care of Parks

The Office of National Capital
Parks has appealed to Washing
tonians to refrain from wearing
shortcut paths across grassy areas
in the downtown section, particu-
larly the Mall Park officials are
entirely justified in making this
appeal and it should receive the
fullest public cooperation.
Areas in question, principally the
Mall, the Ellipse and South Interior
Square, have been built up at con-
siderable public expense, and the
cost of repairing the damage done
by careless walkers is simply an
unnecessary addition to park MAIN
tenance charges.
There, is still another reason for
curbing thoughtless injury to the
park areas. Washington is justly
proud of its appearance and the
parks are not the least of it's assets.
But they can be transformed into
unsightly liabilities if used as thor
oughfares by persons unwilling to
take the trouble to use the walks
that have been prepared for ordi-
nary pedestrian purposes.

instructive VISITING Nurses

Representative Thomas c. Hen
nings, jr., OF Missouri recently intro
duced in the House a bill requiring
the Post ONCE Department to issue
stamp in homage to members of the
nursing profession. There was ample
precedent for his suggestion in postal
labels brought out by Belgium,
France and other countries and in
the Red Cross commemorative of the
United States, released in 1881.
But Mr.. Hennings also may have
had in mind such useful groups of
devoted women as those who are
banded together in the Instructive
Visiting Nurse Society. They met
compelling human need in 1900,
when their work was established, and
conditions have not changed 50 much
in the past four decades as to indi-
cate that it should be discontinued.
On the contrary, the demand for
such service is increasing. No Gov
ernment agency ever has been or
ever is likely to be devised to substi-
tute for what, for lack of a better
phrase, is called "the personal ele-
ment." The state, even in its kind
liest aspects, must deal with people
not as individuals, but as masses
Meanwhile, to the I. v. N. S. suf-
fering man or woman or child is a
fellow creature who properly cannot
be regarded as "a thing or an alb
straction." Particular identity is the
element which the organiza ton rec
ognizes, protects and guards.
The thought may be trite today,
yet it should be appreciated that, in
a world afflicted with regimentation,
the human spirit is value deserving
OF defense wherever democracy still
prevails. Representative Frances
Bolton of Ohio surely was speaking
the truth when, at the Instructive
Visiting Nurse Society's anniversary
dinner last evening, she warned
against any tendency toward Gov
ernment absorption" of indispensable
private charities. Wherever on earth
the experiment has been tried it has
provoked evils more tragic and costly
than the theoretical errors it was
supposed to cure.

Petition Denied

Magistrate Anna M. Kross of New
York has dismissed the complaint of
an angry woman against man who
had taken his courage in hand and
referred to her hat as a basket. Thus
was a precedent established giving
mere man the legal right to habit
in which he has INDUCED since the
dawn of history-that of criticizing
feminine headgear.
A magistrates court may be an
extremely low cog in the compli-
Gated machine of the law; but for
the very reason that 1t is so humble,
it often grinds out a decision strictly
of, by and for the people. Note, for
instance, the human quality of the
lady magistrates words in denying
the fair plaintiffs petition-'Most Of
us do wear crazy, ridiculous hats,
anyway" 1t may be predicted with
safety that her decision is sound
enough to run the gantlet of all
higher courts in the land, no matter
how well packed they may be, as
long as the majority of judges are
married.
Just the same, word of caution
is given to the over-ambitious hus-
band who proposes, on the strength
OF this ruling, to break out in a great
big horse laugh at his wife's latest
spasm in millinery. He may be
legally in the clear in his criticism,
but If he carries it too far, is apt to
find himself financially In the soup
as a result of having to buy her
another.

training program is going ahead with

lines are prospering and are han
ding passenger, mali and express
traffic which is increasing month by
month in a succession Of new all
time records.
For years, civil aviation was regu-
lated from within the Commerce
Department. Much Of that period
was marked by inefflciency, wran-
Cling and lack OF results which was
reflected throughout the industry.
Conditions since creation Of the Civil
Aeronautics Authority and the Air
Safety Board, beyond any question,
have improved very greatly. Why
give up a system which is beneficial
and successful to go back to one
which has been tried and found
wanting?
Congress is going to be asked to
vote down the Presidents reorgani-
zation plan, and it should be voted
down unless Mr.. Roosevelt can make
a more specific and more convincing
answer to his critics.

The correctness of these figures may be
verified at the Bureau of Immigration
and Naturalization, Department of La
Dor.
Taking the most favorable years, that
is, from 1886 to 1899. inclusive, the
number Of aliens admitted amounted
only to 103,o52 and not to the countless
millions Mr.. Grant would like us. to
believe were admitted.
under the circumstances, it is only
fair to ask this question: How can l03,-
052 aliens seriously affect or disrupt the
economic, social or political order of
a nation of 100 900 900 people living har-
moniously, though the number of l3O.-
100000 is made up of many nationalities,
strains and origins.
II may be stated that a substantial
number of the aliens which have been
admitted during the last four years. the
so-called refugees" from the totalitarian
states have brought substantial
amount OF capital In many instances
they have created jobs for American
workers. Let me cite only one example.
There is the case of three refugees who
used to export a certain type of wool
hosiery to the United States from Ger
many. These refugees have set up a
factory in Massachusetts,, where they
now employ SO American workers. Many
other instances could be cited, but it is
not really necessary. Furthermore, it
is not believed that any of the aliens
who have been admitted in the last
four years have become public charges
on any municipality or community.
Every alien who comes to America is
a consumer and must be so of necessity.
AS such, he makes contribution to the
economy of America. 1t is a fact which
cannot be seriously denied that eyery
wave of immigration brought with it a
wave of prosperity.
OF course, Mr.. Grant is entitled to his
opinion as to refugee haven in Alaska
but this Government has not taken anv
active steps toward the realization of
This project. 1t is merely academic.

Defends Principles Of
Socialist Party.
To the Editor OF The Star:

TO the Editor OF The Star:
We Socialists are often labeled ideal.
lstic dreamers, unrealistic thinkers
That is mistaken accusation. Our
criticisms OF the present economic in
stltutions are specific: the alternatives
we advance are concrete.
We blame our production for profit
system for its complete lack of plan
ming, the principal consequence of
which is the continual repetition of
alienation periods of a prosperity"
and severe depressions. As a substitute
for the economic chaos resulting from
the free competition of private enter
prise, Socialists advocate a planned
economy based upon the collective
ownership and control of producers
goods.
Socialists attack the reliance upon
the profit motive as guide to produce
tion We point out that the ATTEMPT tn
maximize profits may frequently lead to
an economy of scarcity rather than to
an economy OF abundance. The Socialist
alternative is the concept of social well
fare. On this basis the aim of produc.
tion would be the maximization of the
material living standard of the general
population.
Our third indictment is the gross in
eQuaities in income distribution which
prevail under our present social and
economic structure. Socialists propose
to decrease these inequalities by a
system of distribution based upon either
need or productivity.
Finally, Socialists attack the COM
plete lack of economic democracy exist
ing today. The principal means upon
which we Socialists would rely for the
introduction of economic democracy
are the trade unions. These would be
given functional role. That is to say,
LABOR organizations would be concerned
not merely with wages, hours and work
ing conditions, but would have q voice
and the dominant voice-in the deter
mination of the nature and direction OF
productive activity in general.
If the Democratic or Republican
party had so "unrealistic" an under
standing Of our economic setup as OUT
lined above there would be no need
today for the Socialist party.

70 the Editor Of The Star:
In letter to the editor by e. E. Grant,
q former legislator from San Francisco,
published in The Evening Star under
date of April ls. the following appeared: &:
I'm recent years the total aliens ad-
mitted to the United States exceeds the
number Of the unemployed"
1t Is respectfully submitted that this
statement is grossly exaggerated.
earnestly believe that a newspaper with
the reputation for integrity that The
Star has should furnish the undersigned
an opportunity to correct this glaring
misstatement. Otherwise 1t may cause
mischief
Let us look at the record. It is gen.
orally conceded that the unemployed in
this Country number between 5000, 900
and 100000. If the total number of
aliens admitted In recent years approxi-
mated, as is claimed by Mr.. Grant, the
total number OF unemployed, then the
total number Of aliens admitted in re-
cent years would also amount to between
s,o00.o 900 and 100000 How grossly
exaggerated this statement is becomes
quite clear upon an examination of the
statistics of the Department of Labor.
During the years 1881 to 1885, inclusive,
the net increase Of immigration over
emigration amounted to only 1898 an
infinitesimal fraction of the number con-
tended TO have been admitted by the
writer OF the letter. immigration and
emigration statistics for the period 1881
1899, inclusive, released by the Depart
ment Of Labor, show the following:

Inadequate Answer

In striking back at critics of his
reorganization order placing the
Civil Aeronautics Authority within
the Commerce Department and
abolishing the Air Safety Board,
President Roosevelt unfortunately
has failed to reply to many
important specific criticisms which
haye been raised against the plan.
In the three weeks since his order
was announced, there has been an
unceasing storm of criticism from
all parts Of the Nation and from
virtually all of the national aero
nautical organizations. During this
period there has been scarcely
voice raised in support of the plan.
Such unanimity of opinion on so
vital a question is difficult to dis
count. This criticism cannot be dis
missed, as the President sought to
dos by saying that it is actuated by
Ignorance, gullibility and politics"
A great mass of this criticism un-
doubtedly has been sincere and it has
come from people identified with
civil aviation who obviously are seri-
ously disturbed by an executive order
which they consider unjustified and
unWise
A great deal of the criticism has
been leveled against the abolition
of the Air Safety Board. In his reply,
Mr.. Roosevelt told newsmen that the
investigation of accidents can be done
competently without having three
men at the top who have been
fighting each other all day long. He
referred, apparently, to the Air
Safety Board. AS a matter of fact,
the Air Safety Board has been COM
posed of but two men since last
November 81, when Colonel Sumpter
Smith resigned to take over chair
manship of the Interdepartmental
Engineering Commission, which is
building Washington National Air
port. There has been no public evil
dence of any friction between the
two remaining members, whose find
ings, obviously, have had to be
unanimous, since disagreement
would mean a deadlock.
The best evidence that the Civil
Aeronautics Authority and the Air
Safety Board are working well is the
fact that the Nations air transport
system has been operating for more
than year without death or serious
| injury; that the great civil pilot

sparrow. This bird looks remarkably
like q thrush.
The oven bird is another species
which somewhat resembles a thrush.
Some amateur observers speak Of q
"big thrush" meaning the brown
thrasher
The oven bird. however, does not hop
like robin, but walks like a chicken.
The earliest wood thrush has been
reported this season was April by a
correspondent OF this column.
Another was reported April IA.
This column had not seen one by
April %, SO was content to expect them
by April %, the usual day of arrival
in nearby Maryland.
The wood thrush is seen hundred to
one for any of the others, and is, there
fore, the best known and most loved Of
the race.
A few years ago it seemed to be on
the decline, but in recent years has
come back strongly, and now is almost
as familiar in our suburban sections as
the faithful robin.
This is the beautiful brown bird with
the spots on its chest and a most mar
velous song, in addition to manners
which place it among the elite of the
bird kingdom.
Its four-part song, with real melody,
seems to fit into the spring as perhaps
no other song does, so right is it in
every way, so loud yet so soft, so clear
yet so tantalizingly difficult to whistle.
We have heard but one person who
could give this song properly, and she
would never have fooled thrush.
Although its name, wood thrush, still
clings from pioneer days, this hand
some creature is more of a suburban
bird today.
Its name rightfully belongs to the
hermit alone, which still sticks closely
to the wooded areas. If you want to
hear this one, you will have to 20 to
the forest, and even then you probably
will never see it. 1t was a favorite of
Walt Whitman, John Burroughs, and
many others.
AiAC "oco tih uoii, IloW All a ldlI way
OF becoming the town thrush, has given
over its timid habits. 1t seems to prefer,
along with the wrens, to be near the
habitations of man.
In an average suburban garden it is
quite at home, hopping around fear
lessly beneath the shrubbery, even fol-
lowing lawn mower without fear.
This bird is perfect in appearance,
| demeanor, and song
The latter has a sort of double quality
which is not uncommon in bird song.
Its four-part melody is interspersed
with harsh notes which are not heard
more than so feet away, but even at
closer distance fit In very we'll with
the purer notes, on the theory that dis
sonance reveals the sweetness of pure
tones
Many persons believe that suburban
dwelling hath no greater charm than
the song of the wood thrush.
If you have just moved out, be sure
to watch and listen from now on for
that first of charmers, the justly famous
wood thrush. That he comes to your
grounds and your trees will always seem
just little unbelievable

Above my head the jeweled April sky
Has flowered In great puffs of dazzling

To giant snowballs blossoming on high;
cluster touched with cleaning silver

Upon the lawn the bush of bridal wreath
Is curved In white cascades that billow

Their sweeping laces to the grass be-
meath
Like some fair maiden in her wide
hooped gown.
The little lake has burst to blossom, too,
Catching the wonder OF this magic day,
And in its limpid surface, clear and blue,
Reflects their beauty like q great bou-

Hemisphere SentineIs

The American republics have vital
common interest which cannot be
cHcumscribed by frontiers. They are
waging united fight against foes
which recognize no boundaries-the
invisible germs and viruses of yellow
fever, malaria and an unknown host
of equally vicious enemies of all
mankind.
For many years, for example, there
has been known in Northern Africa
a particularly deadly form Of ma
laria. 1t is carried by variety of
mosquitoes which do not require
stagnant water for breeding. Hence
1t is much more difficult to combat
So long as the disease was confined
to the African continent it was not
of direct concern to the people of
the New World. But few years ago
1t suddenly appeared in Brazil
probably brought in by some trans
Atlantic plane over the short south
ern route.
It has been devastating plague.
The Brazilian government has fought
it with every means known to medi-
cine, not only for itself but for its
neighbors. The danger of its spread
is so real that the United States
Public Health Service has mobile
unit ready to rush to the scene the
instant any case is reported in this
country. It is easily conceivable that
a similar outbreak might occur in
the United States, constituting an
equal menace to the other western
republics.
Such problems, it is to be expected
will be more frequent in the future
There is one organization, perhaps
too little appreciated by the peoples
of any of the nations which it rep
resents, which is constantly on guarc
against such threats-the Pan.

Offices in the Pan-American Unior
here and which operates with th'
constant cooperation OF the United
