CHARLES CARROLL's HOME
PROPOSAL IN BALTIMORE TO BUY
THE HISTORIC LANDMARK,

A movement is in progress in Balti-
more, headed by ''The Star Spangled
Banner Commission" to have the city
of Baltimore purchase the home of
Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, the
most illustrious signer of the Declare
ton of Independence.
Many stirring incidents of the revo-
lutionary times occurred within this
house. From it Charles Carroll re-
viewed the parade on the occasion of
the one hundredth anniversary of
Washington's birth; in it he received
delegations; and there is not the
slightest doubt as to the fact that he
died in this historic mansion and was
buried from it.

the obstacle may have come from the
wilful disobedience of the dying per-
son to the inspiration and prompting
of Gods grace. Unfortunately, man
has the power to resist Gods grace

reject it at the last moment are lost.

the older. was very rich, but he had
gotten his money by taking advantage
Of poor peoples needs. and when they
were I'm trouble would Lend small sums,
on which he asked a big interest If
the people could not pay at the end Of
the time set he would take their homes
and all their cattle.
But Kama, the younger. who had a
kind heart, was poor. He worked hard.
but Il a friend was in need he always
helped him. So that while Hassan lived
on the top Of a hill in a great white
palace Kama was content in grass

Kama borrowed money Of Hassan.

Kama was not able to do so.

money ready.
But Hassan was cruel and told his
brother to gather up his few things and
take them and his children on the small
farm. Weeping. the children set out to
follow Kama, who led down the path
into the jungle. For hours they trudged
on. Evening came the moon rose and
shone through the palms. but there was
nothing to eat, SO the family lay down
beneath a tree and soon fell into an un-
happy sleep.
But the father could not stay still.
He was too worried about his mother
less children, and finding he could not
rest, he strolled down by a stream
whose waters bubbled over the roots OF
a huge banyan. Here he sat down on a
rock and listened TO the wind signing
through the tall rushes.
Presently he saw a strange process

stream. It was a line Of tiny men about

ing Mexico shows simply and clearly
the attitude of the ad-
\ Common ministration and the
Sense Policy. status of affairs to
date.
The administration has sought TO
bring peace to Mexico by pointing out
the chief cause of that nations trouble
the lack of bona fide elections. This
nation has suggested through John
Lind that a genuine election be held
and the Mexican people be allowed to
settle their differences with ballots
instead of bullets. Huerta who owes
his present position to a murderous
coup and is afraid to go before the
people in a fair election, refuses this
suggestion.
AS matters stand there are two
courses open to the United States. We
could take Mexicos troubles upon our
own shoulders by sending an army OF
pacification into Mexico, that army to
take control of affairs and maintain
order while holding a constitutional
election. 1t would be course similar
to what has twice been done in Cuba
but such a course in Mexico would be
infinitely more difficult than in Cuba
and the cost to this country would be
great.
The other course consists in hands
off policy on the assumption we have
given sound advice to Mexico and that
if it is not taken the blame and the
penalty will fall upon Mexico, not this
country We have shown them the
path to peace. If Huerta is not patri-
OF enough to take it he will have to
take his chances on holding down his
ingotten job with the civilized nations
looking at him with unfriendly eyes.
This is the course Wilson has ad-
opted and it is the obvious course.
Enemies of the administration will
charge it is policy of negation. But
it is a sensible policy under the cir
cumstances and it should be given a
good trial. More than likely Huerta
will soon fall because he is financially
embarrassed and it is hard for him to
borrow money with this government
and other governments regarding him
as a murderous usurper who should
get out If Huerta goes down there
will be better prospects of having our
advice followed in Mexico.
Meanwhile the reactionary press
and the jingoes of this country will
strive to harass Wilson as much as
possible and misrepresent a policy
that is the essence Of good sense. But
as neither the jingoes nor the privi-
lege serving press are ever suspected
of sincerity of purpose or patriotism
their shoutings will accomplish little.

BY THE SCISSORS
/ Woman Taking an Affectionate
Look at Herself in the Mirror

Grace Margaret Gould, Fashion Ed
itor of the Woman's Home Compan
ion. presents the latest news about
styles in the September number o.
that periodical. Miss Gould's advice
to women is to dress we'll, but no
conspicuously. She is strongly op.
posed to the extremes of fashion wher
it comes to giving suggestions and lay
ing out plans for clothes, but as mat
ters of interest she reports the nov
elites of fashion and frequently makes
fun Of them; as. for example, in her
article entitled, "The Deceitful Mir
ror," in which Sc says that she has
always thought of the mirror as wom-
ans friend, but that on further reflec-
ton she is inclined to think Of it as
woman's foe-a deadly, deceitful, de-
signing enemy. SHow, otherwise. she
asks, can we account for the way
some women dress?
When a woman looks into one OF
those distorting mirrors that make heI
terribly fat she laughs and thinks
what a caricature it is of hersef But
unfortunately. when she looks in her

funny is reflected there-she doesn't
see the laugh in it at all. The plain
truth is that woman sees herself just
the way she wants to see herself. No
matter how unbecoming a certain new
fashion may be to her. the deceitful
mirror wheedles her into thinking she
Is the most modish thing out. Miss
Gould goes on in part as follows:
Take, for instance, this little scene
at the veil counter OF a department
store. 4 number of young and pret-
" women with long slender throats
are buying the latest in neck fixings,
the fluffy, outstanding, tulle ruff.
Along comes woman whose face
is as round as a rosy-cheeked apple
and incidentally the same color. What
she lacks in neck, she makes up in
chine she likes the ruffs. too. es-
pecially the very brilliant ones-in the
ceTise and purple shades. Her selec-
ton is the fluffiest, the biggest, the
brightest, and one Of the shortest,
made to close and tie straight under
her chin, or, rather, chins To be
sure Of its becomingness she tries II
on. tying it tightly about her neck.
Then she takes an affectionate look
at herself in the mirror. She is salts
