and say: There. little girl. don't
cry" for she is having at least her
second experience with sorrow. This
is saying nothing about the late, or
absent, Fohs. Only a few months ago
she sued a gay lieutenant for $10,-
600 for breach of promise Whether
she got the money, or compromised.
or dropped the case when the second
sutton fioated into her ken, does
not appear. However, she must have
loved the second fellow with five
times the fervor that marked her at
tachment TO the rest of the naval arm
of the Government.
The case is worth careful study.
Here is a charmer with a broken
heart. Appears a comforter with
balm, and the organ mends. Then the
comforter, getting what is technically
known as cold feet, baekslides, and
the organ goes to bits once more, and
the price tag affixed TO the macerated
remnants is five times greater than in
the first instance. The next time the
Fohs affections get shattered the re-
sponsible gentleman must be in the
millionaire class or take to the woods.
Meanwhile. for the navy to declare
quarantine against Mrs. Fohs would
be a measure of commendable precau-
ton.

Cooperation Not Absorption

In the course of his address Monday
evening as president of the Board oi
Trade, Mr., W V, Cox presented this
problem:
There never was a period in the his
tory OF tha District when individuailsHl
was more prevalent, or when our clu-
Zens seemed SO lacking in c0heslNehess
as today, which attitude in matters OF
civic progress is most undesirable from
a standpoint of attainment
1t is therefore important 10 renew Jul
allegiance 10 the Board Of TRADE, an
Organization composed OF representative
public-splrlted citizens from an par "a
OF the District, OF every business anu
profession. who are devoted uhselllSLllS
70 the broad development or the "a
tional Capital into magnlhcthI Hes'l u a
ful city. unequaled among the capitals
OF the world for hospitality, splehdoi'
culture. and beauty.
IndividuaIism has hampered the de-
velopment of the District OF Column
bia in more ways than there is space
to tell. If. as MIR. Cox suggests, this
lack of cooperation is more prevalent
today than ever before. the outlook
for permanent improvements in the
National Capital is indeed not bright,
and it is incumbent upon every organ
ization of District citizens to unite
on a remedy.
This remedy. in Mr.. CoX's Judgment,
lies in the subserviency of the sew
eral citizens associations and the
Business Mems Association to the
Board of Trade. If that could be &C
complished there would be little need
for further discussion The Board Of
Trade is an admirable organization,
worthy of all confidence. But many
years of capable leadership have failed
10 accomplish this absorption of other
bodies devoted TO the public veal.
The Board OF Trade has grown, natur-
ally and successfully, but no more.
In the meantime citizens associa-
tons have sprung up all over the Dis
trict. representing in membership and
interest the whole people of the Dis
trict as no other institutions have
ever represented them. II these
bodies could be brought together they
would comprise a means of impress
ing Congress greatly more effective
than any single body like the Board
OF Trade.
The Times thinks with Mr. Cox
that the present situation is deplor-
able. It is more than ready TO unite
with him in any practical movement
TO make family quarrels before the
District committees an impOssibility
But it doubts, and the people Of the
District will doubt, the ability of the
Board of Trade to persuade the BUSH
ness Mems Association and a score of
citizens associations that their duty
is 10 withdraw in its favor. II would
be decidedly more reasonable if the
Board of Trade were to propose some
simple means OF cooperating with
those other bodies.
