as a poet and a writer, did not feel
that could afford TO let the Pied
Piper lie in some mans dusty desk for
an indefinite length ct time.
II had the play printed in book form,
and few advance copies were just out,
when friend sent me a newspaper clip
ping which announced that one of the
governors Of the Memorial Theater at
Stratford-on-Avon had offered a prize of
$500 for the best play, written In Eng
lish. The rules OF the contest did not
debar plays which had been printed, but
only those which had been acted.
We'll. | tied up my new book, and

ing mailed the play to Strstford. When
my baby was four weeks old, received
a cablegram telling me that had been
awarded the prize over 200 other con-
testants. When my baby was eight
weeks old, sailed with him to England
for the staging and rehearsals Of the
play.
After the success of The Pied Piper
in England I returned to America and
began the rehearsals at the New Thea
ter. / cannot tell you how many de-
lightful adventures have attended The
Pied Piper during these rehearsals. The

nails through her new Easter gown,
after first making sure that Barbara
was inside. Presumably she was one
of the nervous, impetuous kind, who
wax conversational with their hands
and feet, and impaiing her on the Chip
pendale was equivalent to striking her
as dumb as the sweet singers of Israel.
If John had been little better in
formed on the subject of the eternal
feminine, he would have known that
he could have inflicted no more painful
punishment upon the lady than by
mussing up her Easter gown-and that
before Easter had even arrived.
Wounds of the flesh will heal, usually,
in few weeks, but an Easter spoiled
is year of life lost. Little wonder,
therefore, that Barbara found means
of turning in the distress signal. Re-
leased from her sitting posture, she
has been talking volubly ever since;
and John, fronting the. cold glitter Of
the eyes of Justice, is more in doubt
than ever as to who is the head of the
family. In the beginning he might
have compromised the matter by get
ting her new gown. But now that
the affair has become public property,
the militant Barbara may demand, as
a matter of vindication, that he make it
a pair of trousers.

NATIONAL UNIVERSITY IN
THE DISTRICT.

Senator Borah's proposal that a
national university be established by
the Government in Washington is too
big question to be settled without
the fullest and freest investigation
and discussion. 1t will not be estab-
lished-and should not be established
until the most advanced and best
grounded opinion be obtained. II is
probably safe to assume that the
project will not be acted upon in the
life of the present Congress, which has
many new members who are likely to
devote their time to investigation of
more popular problems.
Theoretically, the proposal for a
great university in the Capital of the
Nation is good; it will claim many
adherents instantly; it already has a
well-organi;1ed influence behind it.
Whether such an institution is needed.
however, is debatable. There are al
ready several universities in Washing
ton. Scattered throughout the country
there are scores of them. Are they, as
matter of fact, meeting the demands
of society? Do we need more institu-
tions of that character?
Senator Borah's bill provides an ap-
preparation of sl,O0O.O00 a year. Isn't
it possible the Government could ac-.
complish more good for humanity by
spending million year at the bot
tom instead of at the top of our
American school system?
In the last few years the Govern
ment has done Il wonderful work
through it's contributions to the col
leges of agriculture and mechanic arts
of the various States. Why shouldn't
it 60 one step lower and lend aid to-
the rural high schools?
Before going into the establishment
of a national university, it would be
a good plan for Congress to create
commission to inquire into the educa-
tional needs of the country. Let US
find out where a million a year will
do the most good before deciding to
spend it.

WASHINGTON SHOULD SUP
PORT HORSE SHOW.

All lovers of fine horses-and that
means everybody-will be glad to learn
that success has crowned the efforts of
the promoters of the National Capital
horse show. The guarantee fund of
$4,000, necessary to get the finest en-
tries of the country, has been provided,
and every indication is that the exhibi-
ton will be one of the best made any
where this season.
Because of its geographical location,
because it harbors thousands of horse
lovers, and because it is the Capital,
where one expects to find the best of
everything, Washington should rank
among the foremost horse show cities
of the country.
If the show is success this spring,
it will be bigger and more successful
in succeeding years. Therefore, Wash
ingtonians should support the horse
show heartily.

THE CASE OF ARIZONA AND
NEW MEXICO.

The two Southwestern Territories
are again knocking at the door of Con-
gross, and the question of admitting
them to the Union will probably reach
the stage of action in Congress at an
early date. Whether they are to be
admitted together and without DELAY.
may depend on the future control of
the Democratic minority in the Senate.
Senator Bailey last session declared
undying hostility to the Arizona con-
stitution. with its initiative. referen-
dunn, and recall features. Senator
Bailey is fighting to dominate the new
organization of the minority in the
Senate. His power to make his fight
effective as against Arizona will largely
depend on the measure of success which
he attains in his efforts to make the
policy of his party.
Arizona is a Democratic community.
and has presented constitution that
IS satisfactory to progressive De-
mocracy. 1t is not satisfactory to
tory Democracy. The first test in the
new Congress, as between the pro-
gressive and the reactionary view of
affairs in general, will probably be on
this very issue of the two new States.
The House is generally conceded to be
progressive in sentiment; and the
House is counted practically certain to
favor admission of the two Territories
together The Senate is regarded as
uncertain; its complexion, as a whole,
may prove dependent on the course
which the Democratic caucus and the
Democratic Committee on Committees
may take in organizing the minority.
The first thing that the friends of
Arizona need is to get together on a
single bill and single policy. Neither
Territory can afford to fight the other.
Arizona is sure to carry the House,
and there is good reason for the bencf
that Arizona even in the Senate is
strongerrthan New Mexico. Therefore.
New Mexico's friends can gain nothing
by hostility toward Arizona. The
two Territories can win their joint
fight if they stick together; they may
both lose if they pull asunder.
1t will be a great misfortune for the
Democratic party if Democratic votes
in any exigency become responsible for
the defeat of Arizona's admission at
this time. The country is expecting
Democracy to be progressive. To op-
pose Arizona because of the progressive
features of its constitution, and to
favor New Mexico, which is asking ad-
mission with a constitution which is.
practically beyond all possibility of
ever being amended, would give the
country mighty bad impression of the
purposes of the rehabilitated Democ-
racy.

THE HAMMER AS A FACTOR
IN DEBATE.

Perhaps the only reason why the
man of the Stone Age did not use
hammer to stop feminine debate was
because the Iron Age had not yet come
in. He found club equally effective.
That John Eddings, of Prospect Park,
n. j., should have resorted to ham,
mer in order to convince his gifted
sister in law that he was the head of
the household was not, therefore, alto
gether original. But der-hearted-
ness. or the veneer of civilization, was
strong upon him, and he had no
thought of using the instrument in the
old, primitive way. He merely used it
to nail Barbara to a chair.

What is the object Of this plea? TIL ,
white fireman is evidently unable to
cope with the fire difficulties that arise
in this city.
He states that the big fire in New
York should cause people to prepare for
such horrors. How? BY employing col

which by the way is regulation in this
city.
Again l quote: =
THE changing of the firebells is often
heard in the streets of this great and
beautiful city, which means the de-
struction of much valuable property,
and sometimes the lives Of good and
useful citizens"
why not remedy this by forbiddins

Why bell-ringing causes loss of life and

Marriage Did

That marriage and motherhood are
first aids to a successful literary career
is the enthusiastic conviction of Mrs.

when I asked her IL her marriage had
interfered with her literary work her
ewes opened in mild resentment and
surprise.

children have taught me to accomplish

And as for marriage taking any
