Gasless days, If put into effect, may
bring back the Sunday afternoon walk.
That was a popular and fashionable
promenade, in the old days.
Everybody had a few friends whose
homes were just about the right walk
ing distance away.
Or one could make up little party OF
two or more, and go across country,
taking in Rock Creek Park on the way,
ending up at the Zoo.
Walking was good fun and good exer-
else, in the days before the automobiles
jammed the streets and highways.
1t still could be good fun and good
exercise.
Walking, at its best, should not be
nerve racking.
One ought not to have to dodge and
halt all the time.
The very essence of good walking lies
in the rhythmical swing of body, legs
and arms, in turn soothing the nerves.
Anything which contributes to ten
sion destroys part of the benefit which
the walker has a right to expect.
~ *x
The old-time Sunday afternoon walk
had value all its own.
1t suited slow paced persons, those
out just for stroll At the same time it
would meet the needs of the most
athletically inclined
In the old Washington days, Theodore
Roosevelt set the pace for the latter.
He loved Rock Creek Park. For him
and his companions there was no sedate
stroll confined to we'll made paths.
He tramped across country, up the
sides of the creek, the sleeper the better,
over the hills and down into the hollows
1t is recalled that he often led unsus-
pecting diplomats along the hardest
routes, just to test their stamina.
There was nothing ladylike about
Teddy" Roosevelt's strolls. He really
walked
One of our earliest recollections is of
standing on Sixteenth street with a
group of small companions and waving
to the President when he came along.
1t was Sunday afternoon, and he had
on silk hat.
This he dotfed and and waved to US
children just as he would have done to a
group of older persons.
TEDDY" Roosevelt always made a great
hit with the kids.

Today the larger parks of Washing
ton make better Sunday walking than
ever.
The work done on them in recent
years has increased their capacity and
appearance.
Yet basically they are the same as
they were many years ago when car
riages dominated the landscape.
If we do have such things as gasless
Sundays. we ought to take advantage of
them.
If people cannot use their cars, they
may take to their legs again,

Praises Reginald Birch
And His Art Now On Display.
To the Editor of The Star.

40 tne 6QlIoI OF me SLdrs
Visitors to the Library of Congress
may enjoy an artistic treat in a display
of the original drawings of Reginald
Bathurst Birch, the illustrator of such
well-remembered childhood favorites as
Little Lord Fauntleroy" and THE Little
Princess" more than 200 books and
countless magazine stories and poems.
Little Lord Fauntleroy" probably in
spired his most famous works In them
he created personality which has be-
come as much a classic as Sir John Ten
niel'S Alice"
OF Mr.. Birch, Joseph Pennell said:
Not only does (he) know how to draw,
but he is familiar with the life of two
continents. He is quite as clever as
Szchlittgen and possesses, think, more
grace, combined with wider knowledge
of character"
WaShingtonians recall with distinct
pleasure one of Mr.. Birch's visits to this
in March, 1886, when he was a guest of
the Fauntleroy Literary Society. A
bronze marker was placed at 1919 street
NV, on the 50th anniversary of the
publication of Little Lord Fauntleroy"
by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The plaque
bears an inscription by Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes: ITO think he is not
born to die. or to grow out Of his beauty
and infinite charm like the poor little
creatures of flesh and blood all around
U.S."
Mr.. Birch now is a dignifed, birdlike
little man of 8O-odd years. He has
brought much happiness to millions of
children through his art. 1t is to be
hoped that he will be able to visit Wash
ington again while his drawings are on
display at the Library of Congress

The Presidents Report

President RooSevelt'S first Lease
Lend Act report, covering the ninety
days since enactment of the historic
statute on March II, shoWS-as was
to be eXpected-that most of the aid
which we have promised the democ-
racieS is still on order. To the extent
that 100000 of the S7,000,OO0,-
600 appropriated by Congress to i'm
plement the lease-lend policy has
been allocated among plane, arms
and other plants, the report offers
an encouraging prospect of an in
creasing output of supplies in the
months to come. The amount of
materiel actually delivered since
passage of the act seems distress
ingly small, however, when viewed
in relation to Britains critical needs.
The stocktaking reveals that slightly
more than 100000 worth of de
fenSe articles" have been trans
ferred thus far, the largest items
being watercraft, ordnance, ammu-
milton, agricultural products and
aircraft, in the order named. An
undisclosed number of planes
valued at a little over $4000,000 we're
turned over to Britain and other foes
of the Axis. When it is considered
that bombing plane costs from
S150000 to 100000 under conditions
of peak production efficiency, and a
pursuit plane from $4,000 to $4,000,
it can be seen that $4,0OO,OOO would
provide scarcely more than twenty
five bombers or eighty pursuit ships.
How many planes actually arrived
safely in England or the Mediter-
ranean area has not been announced.
The figures on plane production
for May, released yesterday by the
Office of Production Management, do
not tend to brighten the general
picture, either. Our total output Of
military aircraft for that month was
1884, a decrease of fifty-f1ve planes
from April's total. While the Me-
mortal Day holiday was blamed by
some officials for this decline, it is
quite possible that defense strikes
had something to do with it. Edward
F. McGrady, War Department labor
adviser, told a Senate committee this
week that 1,675000 man days have
been lost by strikes since January l
in plants producing for the Army,
with 664,519 man days lost in March
alone. 1t has been estimated that
the time lost in strikes since the
first of the year would have been
sufficient to manufacture 200 Army
pursuit planes.
More encouraging is the Presi-
dents account of what the future
holds in the way of defense produc-
ton, especially with reference ~to
planes. Nearly half of the more than
four billions allotted for future de-
liveries is devoted to aircraft and
aeronautical supplies. The break
down of the figures shows that 81,
396,063,000 has been earmarked for
bombing planes, type of ship vitally
needed by the British in their long
range operations. Meanwhile, Will
liam S. Knudsen, o. P. M. director,
and Secretary of the Navy Frank
Knox urged aircraft manufacturers
yesterday to continue to speed up
production to the fullest capacity of
existing facilities. Certainly prodi-
gious efforts must be made-efforts
far greater than have been in evi-
dence to date-if, to use the Presi-
dents words in the report, we are to
"help Britain to outstrip the Axis
powers In munitions of war"

Suggests Concentration of Mind
When Crossing Streets.

To the Editor of The Star:
Your campaign for safety on the high
ways interests me, for I have made a
study of this problem ever since the
automobile came into common use.
The vast majority of accidents are
caused by carelessness on the part of
the victims.
You newspaper writers always have a
list of "don'ts" for the pedestrians, but
the drivers need instruction, too
make it a rule when crossing a
street to think only of crossing the
street, eliminating everything else from
my mind at the moment I think you
will find most of the injured were not
doing that little thing, but were thinking
Of something else.
