Representative Henry of Texas, at
"a luncheon in Washington, inveighed
eloquently and wittily against the
American heiress who marries the
foreign nobleman for his title.
But she gets the small end OF
it, said Representative Henry, grim

There was a Texas girl with
twenty millions who married an earl

this earl was notorious for speeding
his motor cars. So they changed the
law to fit his case. Afterward a
man said to him:
We'll, Laclands, what are you go

offenses the owner of the car and
not the chauffeur is to be arrested.

from st. Moritz. stout couple, ac-
companied by a son and daughter
who were also thick, as the Ger
mans translate stout, entered a
crowded hotel at the busy time Of
lunch and ordered one lunch at ta
BILE d'hote. The father sat down and
finished two helpings of soup and
all the bread near him and left the
table, ilis place being taken for the
entries by his wife, who had been
waiting with her children in the cor

The young man then took his moth

In the crowd the tourists did not
notice the unusual lunch, but the
head waiter did, and when asked
for the bill presented one for four
lunches. The pater familias grumbled
a good deal-and paid.

Clean Speech and Songs.
To the Editor of The Star:


Your editorial of Monday on "Clean
Speech and Songs deserves. and will re-
ceiye. earnest commentator. Perhaps no
argument will reach the really vulgar in
mind-they can hardly avoid giving vent
to the filth within. But. as you intimate,
some people who are not consciously Vi
cious or Intentionally vulgar do at times
use expressions that are not proper. You
referred to certain common expressions
that are but ''paraphrased substitutes"
for real profanity. Some pious people
who would never think of swearing by
any sacred name or place nevertheless
carelessly and needlessly say by
George" or by Jimminy" and other
such well known expressions Jesus
Christ. in the Sermon on the Mount"
said Swear not at all" and specified GER
tain common ways of swearing then in
vogue He added that people should let
their simple affirmations or denlals go
unsupported by any oaths. saying that
whatsoever is more than that is of evil.
Emphasis by oaths is confession of unre-
liability of ones unsupported word. One
should honor his own integrity by refus-
ing to swear. When one says by" this.
that or the other he is swearing, even if
there is no reference to Deity. Instead
of Strengthening assertion, or statement,
it weakens 1t.
Jesus said, on another occasion, "Out of
the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaks" and added the very solemn
words: Il say unto you that every idle
word that men shall speak. they shall
give account thereof in the day of judg-
ment. For by thy words thou shalt be
justified, and by thy words thou shalt be
condemned" Evil thoughts come to us
unbidden-they are part Of our tempta-
tons. But We should resist them and
never cherish them. Evil words originate
with ourselves and we are responsible for
them.
What your editorial says about music
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-11-28

should be emphasized by repetition. Rag
time is not music. Broken. jerky time is
a violation of the rhythmic regularity es-
sential to melody, and without melody
there is no music OF the sentiments and
words of much current Emusic" one can
hardly write without blushing. They
properly belong to those things of which
the Apostle Paul said: 1T is shame to
speak" They are only reproduction or
the same sort of songs that characterized
the pagan orgies of Roman life which
Paul so clearly describes and sharply re
Dukes in his Epistle to the Romans.
1t is only to be expected that Sucn de-
PRAYED music would appear in the thea
ter for did not the theater and the drama
originate as a part of Pagan idOlatrous
worship? In the homes of our christian
lied" nation they are quite out OF place.
With reluctance l add: What of the
churches? Ragtime defiles some of the
songs that are dedicated to even the
prayer meeting, as we'll as the young
peoples" religious meetings and the re
vivalist's' musical partners perform
ances! The apostolic injunction, Sing to
yourselves in psalms and hymns and spir-
itual songs, making melody in your
hearts unto the Lord needs to be needed
today I write this not from wish to
criticise. but seriously with desire to sug-
gest better things to church people.

all her savings from the bank and went

GOES TO FLOAT BARGE.
Tug Camilla Leaves to Pull the Cor
rotoman Off Shoal.

The tug Camilla left here yesterday for
a point Off the mouth of Nanjemoy creek,
Nd, to float the barge Corrotoman. which
partly laden with railroad ties. had gone
ashore there on a lump.
The barge was taken from Alexandria
to Nanjemoy creek several days ago and
was partly loaded with railroad ties. One
night the barge swung around on her
anchor and struck the shoal. A launch
could not move it. Word was sent to
this city and the Camilla went to the as
sistance of the distressed vessel and rem
dered the aid necessary to keep her from
being damaged.
