Teamwork for Child WeIfore

It is surprising that some one had not
thought long ago Of the idea Of an interdepart-
mental council on child welfare for the District.
Welfare Director Gerard Shea has come forward
with proposal that should help to bring about
better understanding and better cooperation
among all the District agencies concerned with
juvenile problems. The plan would contribute to
administrative efficiency as well as to generally
improved child welfare program for Washington
What Mr.. Shea proposes is that the Comn,is-
sioners set up an overall council that could
serve as forum for round table discussion of
mutual problems relating to education, care and
rehabilitation Of children. Included in the
council would be representatives of the schools,
Health Department, Recreation Department and
Woman's Bureau of the Police Department There
is scarcely any child problem which does not
touch more than one District department. If a
child becomes involved with the law, school
authorities as well as the police are concerned
Similarly, child health is matter in which not
only the Health Department but school and
playground officials may be interested.
The coordination plan would be even more
effective if the Juvenile Court could become a
party to it. The court. of course, is an inde-
pendent agency, but it has many problems in
common with District agencies handling chill
drens affairs. There have been occasions in
the past when the court has been altogether too
independent in its operations. 1t would be
helpful all around If the court could sit in on
council meetings, If only as an invited observer

nUBLINs .Fair city where the girls

Jungle raised at the Dublin roo are

yet when it comes to lions it is conceded.
that Dublin has the best.
''Why?. This writer asked c. L. Flood.
superintendent Of the worlds premier
lion nursery. Back came his straight
reply: We were fortunate In having
good stock to begin with" It's as simple
as that. It is also an opinion In which
our own DR.. William Mann Of the WASH

There is q knack to Hon breeding
which comes with experience, Mr.. Flood
told the writer as we strolled through

Cubs are sent to the Dublin roo from
distant corners Of the world and are
also shipped from there to all points
even to India, which Is long on tigers
but short on lions. Africa, Of course, Is
the native habitat Of the lion.
Young cubs, Mr.. Flood explained, are
fed by the mother. She can take care Of
but four. Any others must be hand fed.
On occasions an Irish terrier has helped
out with the nursing. Cubs get two drops

cubs are given rib with suggestion

at once recognize the real thing and
begin to grow up. It takes about three
years for lion to reach it's fun growth.
They fast one day week. On the other
six days they get one big meal. Fasting
does something for them, for often IN
the jungle they 60 days without any
kind of food.
In captivity lions breed better. They
also live longer, although they are not
long-lived animals. They rarely get over
15 years old; 3 or 10 Is about average.

Ghost Artists

0n0St ARTISTS
The advent Of ghost artists to Join the
long established ghost writers looms as
d surprising blessing to knock much OF
the unprincipled modern art problem
from the lofty seat It has held for two
decades and more. It should be hailed
: as the greatest event in the art world
of the time.
The new Ghost Artists Organization
advertiSeS In Washington that they
paint Primitive. ImpresSionist, Modern,
Cubist and Abstract types of work and
let the purchaser sign his own name.
This win certainly demonstrate how cas-
lily nine-tenths Of these schools Of paint
ing can be initiated. The one that can
be initiated the easiest is nonsensical
Picasso, the SPANISH French "dud to end
all duds," because it requires no skill or
genius whatsoever. Therefore, the old
saying that true genius is inimitable will
come into its own again as an irrevo-
cable truth However, there is an excep-
/ ton to this rule and that is that al
though an artists work can be initiated,
he may be genius because he was an
originator Such is the case of Monet,
the French impresSionist whose method
was entirely new.
With all these false prophets and
racketeers dispatched as meretricious.
where do we look for true genius then?
Why, amongst the American magazine
and advertising artists, Of course, as
they are the genuine thigh art" artists
Of the age.
To name few Of them, first on the
list would put the man who does the
sOft-drink ads. He adapted the dazzling
style Of the great international portrait
painter, John Singer Sargent. and per-
fected it SO his gloriously healthy paint
ings, now plaStered the world over. are
matchless themselves. Another master
recently deceased was Leyendecker,
the old collar ad man. Nobody
in the world before or since
has been able to duplicate the
astonishing virtuosity Of his technique
or approach his unique subject matter.
Most people, I believe, can remember his
General Lee On Horseback" There are
four or I'VE others too that in the future,
when most of the slipshod modern punks
are relegated to oblivion, win have their
works hung alongside the genuine peer

angelo and Leonardo, ensconced in the

It IS probable. Of course, IN view Of many
of their recent claims, that the Russians already

Republicans Split

: a
was present when J.. C. McGarraghy,
chairman Of the local Republican State
Committee. spoke before the Districts
Young Republican Club. He was frank
in his views, which was appreciated by
|. all present. But when The Star reported
that he received two rounds OF applause,
one when he explained his walk" from
the joint Republican-Democrat con-
ference to discuss use Of Government
buildings for both party primaries, and
the other when he said there was not
chance Of future meeting Of minds for
joint use Of public facilities, it was an
incomplete statement.
The real applause did not come from
the Young Republicans but mainly from
group of unknown old men hanging
out in the back Of the room.
In variance with Mr.. McGarraghy,
Young Republicans here strongly feel
that the 1916 system Of electing dele
gates is in dire need Of revision to meet
the changing times; that uninstructed
delegates to the Chicago convention are
in reality depriving District voters Of
their desired selection: that the six Dis
trict delegates to the convention should
consist Of qualified. instructed repre-
sentatives of the District voters with .
presidential preference.
Mr.. McGarraghy should recognize now
that he is hurting the Republican Party
by protecting the interests Of few.

Letters to The Star

Does he feel that he and his co-workers
can choose them II the majority are
prevented from voting? Is he afraid that
. general vote might lead to the elec-
ton Of Eisenhower delegates? Does he
care about the American voters choice?
It's our impression that he cares about
nominating Taft. It's our impression that
freedom can 60 down the drain for all
Of him. But We feel differently.
5. v. Gammell
As an enthusiastic reader Of The Star,
was somewhat dismayed by your re-
porter's Interpretation of Mr.. McGar-.
raghy,s speech TO the Young Republic
Club.
As q young Republican who attended
the meeting, had the distinct impress
sion that Mr.. McGarraghy was doing a
very clever job of keeping the rank and
file Republicans In the dark about the
party machinery for the coming primary.
The Star reports that "Old guard
urges all to vote for six delegates" yet
it was impossible to ind out when the
registration date would be, or who the
precinct chairmen are. The method by
which the forty-three delegates-at-large
are chosen was never satisfactorily ex-
planned. Finally, gained the impress
sion that though the delegates might be
'suninstructed," they had to be known
supporters Of the local q. o. p. machine,
contributors to the party, and committed
in advance to supporting the interests
and the position Of Mr.. McGarraghy and
the State Central Committee.
Would delegates of this type truly
represent the Republican citizens Of the
District at the convention in July?
