WASHINGTON
DAYBOOK
Rv PRESTON GROVEF

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. - Republican and
democratic headquarters get out party dope
sheets but most fun to read is the Berlin
Bulletin" distributed to newspapers in Wash.
ington by the German embassy.
1t comes out every day, with an occasional
exception, but like many another work OF &C.
MUS, it is born to blush unseen. We have new
er seen a line Of it quoted in a local paper.
The Bulletin correctly foretold the reaction
of the European %neutrals to Churchills speech
suggesting the part the neutrals might have
in the war. Holland bucked up and said she
would defend her neutrality against aggression
from any source, which caused the Bulletin
many satisfied chuckles.
1.-THE unanimous rejection Of the demand Of
Mr.. Churchill that the ~neutrals join the Brit
ish war appears to have made the British gov
eminent a little more cautious" 1t said.
The Bulletin tries to be moderately objec.
tive in some Of it's reviews, but mostly 1t is
out and out sarcastic about the British. We
seen France mentioned. Sometimes the Bulletin
steps in to interpret American sentiment.
Tells of a Paper siIo
1.-The official japanese protest in connection
with the stopping of the Japanese steamer
'Asama Maru,' by a British warship and the
seizure of 81 German passengers is rated in
the American public as the sharpest declara.
ton ever issued by any neutral power since
the outbreak of the war; says the Bulletin.
But not all is ribbing the British. The Bulle-
tin tells of the invention of a paper silo. I'm.
like American silos, which stand up like sawed
off concrete chimneys, the German silo is a
"lying.down' affair made Of paper. The farm
err digs a pit, covers the bottom with a new
bitumino crepe paper" both %air-proof and
waterproof. In goes the green fodder or grass
to be stored. Then a layer Of paper is put
on top, like a pie-crust. On top of that is a
layer of sand or earth.
"All green fodder which is preserved in this
fashion keeps it's fragrant smell, its fresh
green color, and, as tests have proven, the
cattle like it. . 1t is so cheap that the small
scale farmer who up to this time could not
afford a silo now can make himself one. This
new process has also proved itself successful
in the storing of potatoes"
We Had the Idea
The German government got the idea for
the Bulletin from the U. S. state department.
Each day the department sends out to its en-
bassies a digest Of important news. Naval
radio distributes it, practically without cost.
The Bulletin comes directly to the German
embassy in Morse code, in English, from Ger
many. The Germans expanded on the U. S.
by distributing the bulletin to local papers.
When we heard about the Morse code oper.
ator we couldn't help but feel sorry for him
when this item care along the wire:
1.-THE Viennese fashion industry has under
the name of Gemeinschaft Wiener Modewar-
enerzeuger' and entered into a production and
selling union -. (whose) most important task
is the encouragement and development of ex-
ports" Paris, according to the Bulletin, is slip
ping as a fashion center.

GOLDEN GLOVES

For the fourth time, amateur aspirants for
fistic glory are gathered from this district
in Wilmington to WOO fame at the Golden
Gloves tournament. Opening on Monday night
at the New Hanover High school, the con.
tests are a part of a national program which
will end with the best of the country's ANA
teurs meeting in the finals at New York city.
On the opening night here there was en-.
thrallment for spectators, who filled the hall
to capacity, excitement for participants, some
knockouts, some also-running and a grand
good time for all. But besides this, and in.
finitely more important, there was clean
sport, the inspiration and the challenge of
competition, and the lesson for every boy in
the ring that strength alone cannot bring
victory, but only directed strength and power
to think faster than the other fellow.
If the Golden Gloves contests have any one
virtue which stands above the many it en-.
joys, it is this very tangible attribute of dem
onstrating for every contestant that compe-
tition is the life Of sport no less than OF
trade.

FOR THE AFFLICTED

Wilmington has been doing some thinking
physical needs, for a long time. There has
been general realization that the present
quarters were not only Inadequate but in
poor condition and because of the frame con-
struction a fire trap as we'll. But it was
only yesterday when DR.. ]. c. VESSEL, presi-
dent Of the association operating the shelter,
presented a statement setting forth the needs
and appealing for a new hospital, that the
thinking took concrete form.
This statement cited the overcrowding at
the hospital, the need of repairs to buildings,
the undermining by termites, and the neces-
sity for a new structure if the hospital is to
function at par for the relief of oatients.
both those already under treatment and 9TH
ers unable to gain admission through lack
of accommodations.
Former appeals to the city commission, DR..
VESSEL added, have been rejected on the
ground that the hospital is operated by a
private corporation and so cannot be made a
drain upon the city's treasury. We're it not
for private help, especially from the 1.-TWO.
Bit club Of the Atlantic Coast Line, and the
5000 contribution from city and county, the
association would not have been able to keep
going even under reduced power. But the
funds contributed from these sources and
from private gifts are not sufficient to pay
running expenses, to say nothing of repairs
and improvements, as 81 per cent Of the pa
tients are non-paying.
Deterioration has been so great that only
= new plant will serve the need. An add.
tional building will not materially help. as
the old one is far gone.
This is the situation, clearly stated by DR..
VESSEL. What is to be done to relieve it ia
yet to be decided. The county commission
took no definite action at it's meeting. feel.
ing that a project as important as this calls
for careful consideration and planning, rather
than snap judgment, a decision in which the
hospital association and the people will con.
cur. But that a movement looking to the ere.

IN TRAFFIC

Yesterday these columns endorsed Lieuten-
ant DAVIS announcement that the law pro-
hibiting speeding on Front street, when it
is reopened to traffic, would be strictly en-
forced. Public safety requires that it be en-
forced, without regard to the position in
the community of any offender.
Today we go on record against traffic loaf.
ing on Front street, which is as much to be
%deplored as speeding. There is no acceptable
defense for the driver who ambles along at
five miles an hour, hoping that a car ahead
will pull out of a parking space, or to con-
verse with some pedestrian on the sidewalk.
The police will perform their duty the better
If they put a stop to this practice. which in
the past has offered as complete an obstacle
to the smooth flow of traffic as if a barrier
had been raised across half the street.

safe travel. If this is maintained, with nor.
NAL fluctuations according to the state Of
traffic ahead, autos may progress throughout
the length of Front street without Interrupt

conversational purposes or for prospecting
for parking spaces, all cars following the
offender are at a disadvantage and may cas-.

The traffic squad will not be at fault If it

TIT FOR TAT

The national democratic committee full
filled the forecasts that long have been heard
of its probable action when, at its Washing
ton meeting, it named a convention city,
Chicago, and adjourned without setting a
date for the national convention.
Party leaders for some time have declared
that advantage lay in awaiting the republi'
can selection Of a candidate before naming
their own, and were strongly inclined to de-
lay the democratic convention until the repub-
licans had met, written their platform and
chosen a standard bearer.
It vas a wise policy, and the leaders de-
serve credit for putting it across at the
committee gathering. Now all that is needed
to make everything dandy is for the republi-
can national committee, at its forthcoming
meeting, to lame a convention city and post.

LIBRARY NEEDS
Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
Last weeks editorial and letters
concerning the need OF equipment
for u public Library r timely.
The recent decision of a North
Carolina city, concerning its library,
reflects on not only that city but
on the state.
We have here in Wilmington a
library which, in the number and
selection of it's books and in its
general operation compares favor
ably with libraries in larger cities
It is not only a means of whole
some diversion for it's large mem
bership, but the children Of the
county, from the elementary schools
and from the high school, S the
library to supplement their school
work.
The library is in need of equip
ment, Time, money and labor have
made the ITALIAN building a better
place to house the library. More
effort will be expended to beautify
the surrounding grounds. Is it pos
| sible that the comparatively simple
matter of suitable shelves for the
books is to be overlooked?
Let New Hanover county donate
it's two hundred dollar quota to the
Presidents library AFTER the
practical needs have been supplied
to it's own library.

Man bout
Manhattan
by Georqe Tucker

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-These are
strange days on Broadway. Doro-
thy Lamour goes on a mercy ex-
petition in New York harbor, feed
ing ducks that are starving on the
ice. But they can't find the ducks
and the ice at the same time -.
You walk down the street and
you come to a revolving door, and
you see a man standing near it in
a uniform, playing doorman for a
living. He is Jack Renault, the
famous old Canadian pugilist. Jack
fought all the good ones, and he
earned nearly $3.50, 900 in his fight
ing days. But it is gone now, and
today he stands on the curb in an
Admiral's braid, swinging doors for
Tom, Dick and Harry as they hurry
by, never realizing that here is a
man who once came very near to
ring-greatness.
There are no longer any girly
shows on Broadway well, maybe
one or two small ones. But the
Paradise, the French Casino, the
Hollywood, the International - all
are gone. Closed. Bankrupt, most
ly. 1t is the last gasp of a way
of life that has been dying for
two years. For ten years. Maybe
eve since Ziegfeld died. I think
the producers have only themselves
to blame. Year in and day out it
was the same old thing, the same
old line of dimpled knees with a
splash of white showing between
black stockings and lace panties.
Even Broadway, it seems, can tire
Of dimples. If the showmen had
shown more showmanship, If they
had tried something for themselves
instead of wearing out an old by
gone methor Of adolescent hip-dip,
all those kids wouldn't be walking
Broadway today, searching for jobs
that aren't there. Beauty in pam
ties, no longer is enough. The red
ink ON the ledgers is proof of this.
It's like this. You are just walk
ing along the street, and you meet
people, and they tell you things.
Here is Marjorie Anderson, who
plays in THE Shadow" and she
tells of the girl advertising solicitor
on Broadway who was rushed to
a hospital when a mad dog bit her.
While the antirabies serum was
being prepared the doctor noticed
that she was writing down a lot
of names.
"say," he said soothingly, you
don't have to notify your relatives
You'll pull through"
ooh, these aren't relatives" she
said. "This is just a list of people
I'm going to bite if I go mad
That word mad makes me think
of Hedy Lamar. When she came
to NY her agents arranged for a
quorum Of photographers to meet
the beauty at her hotel. But a half
hour before the scheduled meeting
the maid began making frantic
telephone calls. Miss Lamar is
so distressed" she said. "But it's
her throat-its laryngitis, or some.
thing worse. She can't talk. She
is In great pain. She is so sorry"
A few hours later a couple of tho
boys ran into this ecstasy lass in
the Cotton Club, just having 8 lin
DANDY time and feeling no pain
Whatever. 1t was a remarkable 70
covery, they agree. One If tho
fastest on record. And were her
agents mad! "7
