Washington. March 26. Secretary
cf Commerce Hoover made known
today his intention to appoint a
committee to work out a plan lor a
building code and - otherwise con
sider the housing situation. Leading
architects and others having an in
terest in the matter will be asked to
serve on the committee.
Mr. Hoover said he is in sympa
thy with the general program of the
("aider committee on reconstruction
of the senate or governmental study
of the housing situation. He said
he thought this could be done, by
cne of the present bureaus of 'the
government, rather than by a new
bureau.
The secretary is making progress
with the plan for the appointment
of advisory committees by various
trades and industries to co-operate
in foreign trade promotion work
Arrangements have been made for
conferences with committees of the
American Ship Owners' association,
the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce and other similar
organizations, next week.
The committee appointed by Sec
retary Hoover to investigate the
situation with respect to the com
pilation of export and import figures
held a meeting in New York and has
reported to him that some recom
mendations have been made with a
view to insuring that future statis
tics are correct. Involved in the
proposition is the question of con- j
solidating bureaus of the treasury j
and commerce departments, which j
at present handle various parts of
the work.

The Language of Lpve
An Easter Thought
HF flowers are really "the language of love," then
the prairies and the valleya and the hills of
America are ringing with praise on thla
glad Easter Day. Henrji Ward Beecber said that
flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and
forgot to put a soul Into. But we doubt they are
soulless when we remember how fully they meet
certain necessities of men. There are some things
too deep for words; some things too sacred for
speech; and so where great griefs are volcelesa
we use flowers to give expression to our thoughts;
and just as a note of music serves to stir the souls
of men, so the perfume of the flower finds the per
fume of the human heart coming to meet it more
than half the way.
.
Men are only boys grown tall, for hearta don't
change much, after all; and even the grown folks
take kindly to the legends of the flower garden
When we look at the modest Violet with lta heaven
ly blue, we are prepared to accept the children's
story that when God cut the holes in the heavens
to let the stars shine through and the scraps fell
down to earth, men picked them up and called them
Violets. We cannot be real skeptics when we are
told that the Father of us all thought purity for
every creature, and the unspotted Rose of White
blossomed at the feet of men; that He thought of
mothers, and the royal-hearted Rose of Red sprang
into being; that He thought of patience, and the
humble Pansy, purple with Love's wound, turned
its gentle face to the smiles of little children; that
He thought of mercy, the quality that falleth like
the gentle rain from heaven, and the Verbena,
flower of pity and consecration, hunted out the
waysides of the world to cheer the hopeless hearts
of men; that He thought of never-failing Love Di
, vine, and the sweet Forget-me-not, humblest and
most faithful of all the buds that bloom, knelt at
His feet and gave to men the song that rang round
all the world
Th tar shin over the earth, th stars shin
over tii sea;
Th star look up to th mighty God: th stars
look down to me.
Th stars shall live for a million year, for a
million years and a day;
But God and I will live and lov when th star
have passed awav.
