BUYING A DEAD HORSE
Railroad men estimate that It
would cost 10 billion dollars to abol
lsh all highway grade crossings in
the United States. This, comments
an exchange, is about half the en
tire ori trfnal cost of building' the
railroads.
When " the roads were built, con
struction costs were very low com
'oared with now. Grade crossings
could have been eliminated in thou
sands of cases, by bridging streets
and roads above the steel tracks or
tunneling them under, at no great
increase in cost.
But the builders were not suffi
ciently prophetic in Imagination to
look into1 the future and realize that
grade crossing wou.fl later become a
grave traffic problem. In most in
stances there was lack of funds for
the work.
Now, at enormous expense, the
railroads are gradually eliminating
grade crossings1 repairing their or
iginal blunder. It's like paying for
a dead norse.
The big traffic problem in cities
today is that streets are too narrow.
When the streets were laid out or
iginally no one dreamed that the
day would come when they'd not be
wide enough. The general measure
seems to have been to make reads
just wide enough for two wagonloads
of hay to pass each other without
? going into the ditch.
Despite this precedent, many old
cities continue laying out narrow
streets, and even new mushroom
towns fail to build wide enough
highways for steadily increasing
congestion of traffic, bound to come.
A large portion of human effort is
devoted to undoing the mistakes of
the past. This is especially true of
individuals. For Instance, the ma-!
jority of people reeking health in
middle age, when they should be
sturdy, are the victims of improper
living in youth. Ill health as a rule
is the payment of a bill that has been
piling up for year3.
In some waj's it's a good thing we
can't rend the veil and have our fu
tures revealed to us. But, if we
could see ahead ten years or more,
most of us would change our habits,
methods, goals and purposes
abruptly and decidedly.
Most people drift with the current.
Only a few inquire carefully of vet
erans who have made the voyage be
fore and then steer a charter course
to a definite destination. :.

ALWAYS HOPING
M. Francois David, French scien
tist, says that before many years
have passed men will have solved the
language of animals and learn how
to carry on conversation with them.
M. Francois is somewhat behind
the times.
We have already made remarkable
headway with animals trying to talk.
Cognress within recent days, has
furnished irrefutable evidence of the
fact.
Any person who has listened to
the senate debates during the past
ten days can bear testimony to the
fact that the "lower' forms of-animal
life are trying to express themselves.
True, they are not always under
standable, these creatures struggling
for expression, but they utter sounds
that bear striking resembalnce to the
English language.
Some of it is fantastic, but even
the speaker whose position as presid
ing officer-has forced him to be pes
simist, will admit that it i3 a "strug
gling upward."
Edgar Wallace, novelist, wrote a
story a short time ago entitled "The
Hairy Arm," in which he described a
Borneo ape that had been trained to
be an excellent servant.
This gives us ground for hope.
Perhaps a thousand or so years
hence, in the natural process of evo
lution and reincarnation, some of the
present members of congress may not
only learn to express themselves in
human language, but the historian
of the day ' may ' refer to them as
trained lawmakers, and' useful pub
lic servants.
Anyway, it never hurts to hope.
There are many splendid words in
our mother tongue, but' "hope" is
one of the best of them.

A peep at women and some
times men who walk the
stage of official Washington.
W5
There is a place in Washington
where they. still pull" the small town
stuff known as a circle two-step.
And when you hook a perfectly good
dancer but one you have never met
before, you often start the conversa
tior.a) ball .i rolling with "Where
arc you from?" When I replied to a
man from the University of Virginia
that I was from Nebraska he indi
cated that the conversational ball
was entirely out of bounds. But up
on my protest that we were not
wholly beyond the horizon, he ad
mitted he had heard of Hastings, Ne
braska. He got it over the radio
right often. . Then being a fan, he
explained about' the two powerful
stations the i Westinghouse company
has built, one in England and one
in Hastings to relay programs on to
the coast.
On another occasion a Washington
lady was so elated over hearing a
radio program from Hastings one
midnight that she phoned the con
gressman from tne mn NeorasKa
district the next morning to inquire
about the principal industries and
crops. She couldn't make out from
the program whether it was an ag
ricultural station or a military post.
They talked a great deal about cows.
she said, but finished off the pro
gram with a beautiful rendition of
tap?. However, she was interested
in Hastings. Thus, westward, the
star of radio empire takes its way
and one good lively aerial does more
to put Nebraska on the map than all
the giographies printed.
A "flame of remembrance" burn
ing night and day in a bronze ves
sel over the marble slab where our
unknown soldier is burled has been
suggested as a fitting symbol that
the purpose and sacrifices of war
are not forgotten. Since it was wom
an's duty to keep the home fires
burning during the war, why should
it not be the privilege of the wom
en's auxiliary of the American Le
gion to get behind this idea and give
it lasting expression in fire and
bronze. At night, upon the hill top
of Arlington, its living light would
repeat Kipling's "Lest we forget"
with'wordless beauty.
It may be hard to interest an
American citizen in the constitution
but all Washington is interested in
the president's constitutional. Hap
pening to" find myself behind Mr.
Coolidge the other day when he was
doing his daily dozen blocks down F
street, It Was amusing to watch the
faces 'of the pedestrians coming to
ward me when they recognized that
the spare gentleman stepping spryly
along with a cane was none other
than the president of the United
States. I soon noted three gentle
men also" walking" behind him but
they didn't just happen to be there.
They were husky fellows who look
ed as tho packing a gun (I suppose
that is required for' full equipment
on the latest models in secret ser
vice men ) was not so much of a load
as' carrying the' burdens-of state on
one's' shoulders. Mr. Coolidge ap
peared pale and far from overweight
but I suspect the New England envi
ronment of evolving this type as the
best suited to stand the wear and.
tear.
