The congressional library contains at
present over -.@00.O 900 books. Some Of
them are 1000 years old and the ink in
some Of them is still green and fresh
like their authors. The library was
established in 1900 and in 1919 it was
DESTROYED by a hostile army which
burned the capitol building. This was
great catastrophe. but it did not
awaken as much deep indignation in
England as did the burning OF the Lou
vain library in Belgium a few months
ago
We cannot account for this except on
the ground that civilization has marched
along with mammoth strides since the
war OF 1919

The orchestra might be made up chiefly of musicians

With such splendid material to work with as FL
Paso has demonstrated herself to possess there is no
reason why such organization should not present
performances Of satisfactory finish many times during
each season. With a permanent subscription fund of
lew thousand dollars, It might be made possible to
give each season number Of free public rehearsaIs as
well as number Of public with paid admission

A British Mothers Predicament

London who has two sons in the army
one an officer, soldier, finds herself in curious
predicament when both her are home, because Of
the etquet Of the British army which rules that officers
and soldiers must not mix socially. This woman may
not 20 to the theater with her sons, may she
have guests meet both at dinner Out Of uniform,
they may do they please, but the uniform is prac-
tieally obligatory these days.
We do not have caste and We do not have class in
this country, but have all sorts Of social walls
high and hard to climb caste class walls have
ever been. England is inclined politically and com
mercially and IN literature and art and all the wider
fields, to think about good another, in
proportion TO his worthiness Of respect man; but
socially the walls go up high the skies for any
trying to get them
