DAMAGED GOODS TO
Be PRESENTED HERE
Play, Which Is Tract and Ser
mon on Vice, will Be Seen in
Capital April 6.

sDamaSed Goods" a dramatic clinic
by Eugene Brieux, the French play
wright. which has already been produc-
cd in New York under the auspices of
the Medical Review of Reviews, will
be seen in Washington for a single per-
formance Sunday evening, April 6.
The play will come here under the
sponsorship of the Society of Social
Hygiene Of the District of Columbia,
aid the performance will be in every
sense a private one, since admission
will be only by invitation. The perform
snce probably will be at the National
Theater
Damaged Goods is a tract and a
sermon on a phase of the social evil
and on the ravages OF disease through
successive generations. 1t is probable
that invitations to attend the perform
ance in this city will be sent to Presi-
dent Wilson, members of his cabinet,
the judiciary and Congress.
Bennett Is Producer.
The play is produced by Richard Ben
nett, who has been seen in Washington
many times as leading man for Maude
Adams, and was recently seen as a CO.
star with Edith .Wynne Matthison al
the Columbia Theater. Other members
OF the New York cast, which will be
seen here unchanged. are Grace Ellis
ton, Amelia Gardner, Roberta Taylor
Laura Burt, John Warner. Dodsor
Mitchell, Margaret Wycherly, Clarence
Handyside. and Mabel Harrison The
company will arrive here Sunday morn
ing. and return to New York at mid
night.
The impression which Damaged
Goods" has made in New York is pro-
found. and it is conceded to be the
most forceful and tragic portrayal OF
the evil with which II deals.
Il heartily approve of the plan tc

BILL TO URGE PROBE
OF VICE IN DISTRICT
Congressman Hill Will Introduce
Measure, Asking Investiga-
ton, at Special Session.

A bill authorizing an investigation
by Congressional committee, OF Woe
conditions in Washington, is the mos;
definite outcome visible from the hear
ing or conference conducted at the New
Willard by the Illinois vice commits
sion. Congressman Robert Hill of Illi-
Washington investigating bill at the
special session.
Men and women yesterday afternoon
discussed the social evil from many
viewpoints but particularly as to its
causes. Numerous suggestions as q
remedies were made. Some Of the wit
nesses gave the following reasons for
girls sin:
Overdressins by fashionable women,
starvation wages, lack of early train
ing and unfavorable early environment,
high cost Of living, ragtime dances,
financial inability to wed. fake adver-
tisements and deceptions by men.
Many Remedies.
The last-named cause was the one
perhaps most frequently asserted by
the witnesses of the conference. Rene
dies suggested were almost as numer-
Gus as the alleged causes, and there
was about as much difference of opin-
ion as TO what is most important to be
done as why a bad state of affaihs
exists.
1t was generally agreed by the society
women, social reformers, legislators and
investigators that a single moral stand
ard for men and women will help
greatly and so will adequate home
training. Many also asserted the value
OF a minimum wage law. Policewomen.
votes for women. instruction in sex
hygiene, the whipping post for white
slavers and taxation Of bachelors were
other remedies of programs suggested.
Taxing bachelors as a means of pre-
venting girls from going wrong was
perhaps the most novel suggestion of
the day. Senator Beall Of Illinois was
the man who proposed this. He wishes
every single man from twenty-four to
thirty-two years taxed according to a
graduated figure, with those above
thirty-two years charged 800 a year by
the State.
1t is supposed bachelors will be more
disposed to marry il they can escape
taxation.
Wage Question Attacked.
Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley. Mrs. Adolph
Kahn. and Mrs Archibald Hopkins
were three of the prominent witnesses.
Mrs. Wiley attacked the wage question:
Mrs. Kahn denied that wages had
much. if anything, to do with immoral
ity.; Mrs. Hopkins talked Of her favorite

NEW STANDARDS FOR HUS-
 BANDS.

Being naturally opt imi>tir, we hesitate to predict the dlSappulnt- ment that We believe must await the good ladies of the Beaver Greek Christian church of WaSh- ingtun county. Maryland. wno have formally prescribed those standards for husbands:
 He should be a Christian: he should go Iu rhurrh: he should De careful about his associates : he should make an honest living he should provide a comfort able home; he should be tidy: he should Tot complain about his meals if they du not suit him: he should not use tobacco; he should be sober. honest and industrious :: he should spend his evenings at home; he should not use strong drink: he should not use vile lan- guage; he should have a kindly thought for his wife's comfort and make the fire; he should make his wife a partner in money matters and turn his salary over to her"
 Approving in toto the excel lence of this standard, we can- not refrain from reminding these good women of Maryland that mere man was created "a little lower than the angels Then, too. it would not be worth while tO have a husband of. that stand ard. If the general standard of husbands were raised to that de- gree of excellence. what wohld the WivnS--hlrSS 'rnl--have to worry about? In the meantime, the good women of Maryland and elsewhere will probably have to do the best they can with real. rather than ideal. husbands. - FY

DIFFERENT VIEWPOINTS.

When one is broad enough to recognize the viewpoint of others then. and then alone. is iIe or she capable of criticism of the ar- lions of that other. When an incident. a Thought or d spoken or written word conveys a message of certain import tn one person and that person Is surprised that such message is not recognized by some one else. then Il is to be feared that the complaining one is not of sufficient breadth of mental vision to be able tu see a thing from any but one viewpoint.
 Unless one can place himself in the mental attitude of anoth- CT, he is not Justified in criticism of that other. Because some one does things differently or does not do things that We do: because an incident strikes some one as fun ny and he laughs thcrcat. while to us that incident is sad in the extreme, does not justify us in either considering that that nth- CT is either lacking in sens" of sensibilities.
 After all. it would look as though criticism should be with held until one is at least able to see things from more than one NjeWDoint.

PoNDERoUs PERsoNAoEs.
Adam,
By George Fitch.1

tDS utOlbc llCHs
 Adam, whose rear name seems to have succumbed to the tooth of time, was citizen of Eden
 and other eastern points about
 i.2OO B. c. His record was TO- mantle and brilliant. Born an orphan and later thrown out on
 his own resources at time when employment was notoriously hard to get, he succeeded in living 900 years 'and becoming the worlds
 greatest ancestor.
 No photographs of Adam are eXtant and no historical society
 has preserved the cottage in which he first saw the light. He
 is known tu have been wild in his youth. having seen snakes and shortly after having been ap- pointed custodian for life of the Garden uf Eden, he was bounced
 for stealing apples. Later on he Stradicd down, however. and lived irrrproachably and prr-rverinGly for many centuries. accommodating grandchildren ln the 33rd degree and holding Thank sgivin~ family dinners each year in Somr ca pacious valley with tWu-milr la- ble down the middle.
 Adam was not an educated man. There was no learning In pick up when he was young. and be- sides IL was 10000 miles and G. OOO years to he nearest Carnegie library. He was no politician and never made but one speech. from which speech, however, w--nan- kind is only now recovering. He is famous principally for is work in the census bureau. Appointed head of the vital statistics of MeSopotamia at time when that consisted entirely of eli mate and possibilities, he threw his whole heart into the work and did not cease his efforts until the country was thoroughly settled. This was after he had made a failure as a student of natural history, and only a fair
 success in agriculture. From Adam we should learn that no man should despair when he fails in business. He can still sell life insurance or run for office.
 Adam became the father of his country when he grew up, and filled the position in an earnest, painstaking manner, spanking the entire body polite personally whenever il needed it. He became also the earliest settler, the old est inhabitant, the grand old man, and other local celebrities, and. while he never went into politics, he succeeded in getting relatives into every public job as long as he lived. He was greatly mourncd at his death and all of his great great-great-great-great grand children. who were not too feeble from age and disabilities. attend eNl he funeral.
 We may all look back witt pri,l" upon Adam. for he is the only fla nous ancestor whom most of Us have.
