What's the matter with Georgetown?
Have the beautiful girls In that Sec
ton of the city no admirers who are
proud enough of them to insist that
Georgetown keeps the pace In beauty
as It does in historic associations?
These queries are propounded by the
Beauty Editor of The Times follow
ing hurried glance today over the
many dozens of photographs submitted
in the beauty contest which will afford
some Washington girl free journey
to the San Francisco and San Diego
Expositions. 1t was with regret the
Beauty Editor noted a comparative
scarcity OF Georgetown photographs.

Massachusetts Governor
Opposed to Race Films

BOSTON. April 2o.-Governor Walsh
told several hundred colored people
who gathered at the State House to
protest against the production in this
city OF the film The Birth of Ma
ton" that he would ask the legisla.
ture to pass law prohibiting plays
or picture exhibitions that raised the
race question.
In addition to the negroes there was
a white representation also opposed tc
the pictures. These included Mrs. 10.
seph Williams. niece Of Wendell
Phillips; William d. Brigham, secre.
tary OF the Wendell Phillips Memorial
Association, and Miss Elizabeth Put
nam.
Walsh said the sole reason why he
did not act arbitrarily and forthwith
to STOP the exhibition was because he
lacked authority. He advised the COM
mittee to make z formal complaint
against the exhibitors in the municipal
court. and said the police commission
or, who vas directly responsible. would
accept the courts decision.

MUNICIPAL HOME RULE. !"

We have an Illuminating illustra-
tion of much Wanted municipal
home rule" in the enlightened and
highly progressive city of Superior,
the home of Congressman Lenroot and
the supporter, first of LaFollette and
then of MeGovern. Three times
within about a year Silver Joe" Kon-
KEEL has been elected mayor of Superb
or. The first election was on the sla-
ted election day, and the second and
third elections were demanded by his
defeated opponents among the voters,
by means of the petition and referen-
dun and recall system. Joe tri-
umphs, regularly, as often as he runs,
and the last time, only the other day,
he got 500 majority as against less
than 100 at the previous referendum
election. 1t has been charged against
him that his first referendum victory
was the result of frauds in his inter
est. This last time every precaution
was taken against fraud, and "Joe"
gained over 400 per cent. The verdict
seems to be, therefore, that if frauds
were committed at the previous cleo
ton, they must have been in the in
terest of his opponent. However, the
problem is studied, it is an effective
answer, though an expensive one to
Superior, to those minorities of citi-
Zens who think that all virtue rests
with them, as well as all wisdom. Too
often, under the referendum plan, the
result is somewhat befogged by light
vote and general indifference. but
when a man is made to run three
times for mayor, in such rapid success
sion, it must be accepted that his un.
varying success is no accident.

Postal Savings Popular l..

The popularity of the postal savings
system among the foreign-bOrn at
Hurley is strikingly illustrated in sta
tistics just compiled by the Post Of
flee Department. The total deposits
at the Hurley postoffice on July LIST
were $44, O4S, of which the foreign
born owned S37,SO1. The Italians
were the largest patrons with $40, 41G
to their credit, then followed the Aus
TRANS with 81, $50, the Firms with 49,
ZSo. and the Russians with S2,155. Six
other natiOnalities were represented
among the depositors. Thirty-One
reached the $500, limit and can depo-
sit no more, despite their appeals to
do so. OF the owners of the $500 ac-
counts, p are fOreign-bOrn.
The postal savings service at Hur-
ley has been seriously handicapped
from the start by unfortunate restric-
tions in the original postal savings act
which forbid the acceptance of more
than 500 month from depositOr
and fix $500 as the maximum amount
that may be accepted from him. The
restrictions have proved particularly
disappointing to the foreign born who
often insist on depositing their entire
savings at one time and can not I'M
derstand why the United States gov
eminent, in which they have implic-
it confidence, is willing to safeguard
a part of their savings and not all of
them. Thousands of dollars, earned
by honest labor in Hurley, have thus
been driven back into hiding and lost
to local channels of trade.

the game hard and play TO win, and
while their individual efforts may al

Returning Thanks.

Saying thank you" is small act,
entirely without cost but is far from
being without value All wise and
good parents and teachers instruct
children to be courteous and offer
words of gratitude for what they re-
ceiye. The marks of careful home
and school training are very helpful
to boys and girls after they get out in
to the world, and equally so in the
homes of their own. The time to
learn to be kind and courteous is
when we are young and teachable.
Children should also be taught 10 re-
verence and obey God. One way to
instill this in childrn is to have grace
at the table. Such form as the fol
lowing would well be repeated by all
or by some devout member of the ia
mily: Heavenly Father, give us this
day our daily bread, with thy blessing
and help us to be contented with
such things as we have, living to thine
honour and glory, through Jesus
Christ. Amen Another way is for
the family to meet in fireside circle
and the father, mother, brother or
sister read from the Holy Scriptures
and lead In prayer, concluding with
the Lords Prayer. This custom
makes home life reverent, pure and
happy. Little children should all be
Taught to say at mothers or father s
knee before retiring at night "The
Child's Evening Prayer"
Now | lay me down to sleep
| pray the Lord my soul to keep;
If | should die before | wake
| pray the Lord my soul to take.
God bless mama and papa, brother:
and sisters
And help me to be good, for Jesus
sake Amen.

An Idle Verse.

In case my friends desert me,
My friendship they disclaim,
They'll find me not deserted,
I've one friend just the same.
A friend who's ever faithful
Loving kind and true to me,
My dull cares puts to chase.
And treats me soothingly.
He drives away my longings,
The spirit doleful!y clad,
He soothes my aching brow
When I'm indisposed and sad.
He disburdens me of ennui,
OF my soulful blues and woes.
He expels the homesiek feeling,
When my heart fonder grows.
Sure no ladylove has power,
To disentwine us two,
Our love for one another;
Is undying and true blue.
Perhaps I'd better tell you,
Before l close my type,
That this staunch friend o'mine
Is a soothing rosewood pipe.

NO CANADIAN LAW
 IN FLANDERS NOW

London, Aug. 1.-(Special) )-Col. Sam Hughes, the blunt, forceful Canadian .minister of militia, who is now in this country with Premier Borden, has many friends here; but there are also many, especially among the British military party, who do not take kindly to his ways. I remember being in the com pany of a very high official when the question of Canadian troops came up for discussion. It was said that Colonel Sam was coming over and might give the war office considerable trouble in that he would insist upon his rights to supervise the Canadian contingent But" declared the high government official, he no longer has any authority over them Don't be too sure of that Mid famous lawyer. Technically believe it is fact that even when the ebhadian troops are in France they are stili under Canadian law

For not one m 50 of their mothers has the slightest con- ception of economy in cooking. They boil their vegetables without ever thinking that the water. if regulated. could be used afterward as the basis of soup; they never think of saving the outer leaves of cabbage. Nothing truer has even been said than that the waste in any English household would keep a French family.
 Tn their school these children are ir- differently taught" Miss Sheldon went on. They take no interest in what they learn there, but they simply love to be read to.

I am teach ing the girls bandaging and tell the boys to go to the barracks near by and see how stretcher bearing is done. Besides reading stories to them. l read from the papers about how the big guns are used and how wire entanglements are made. This in- terests them hugely. The boys have magazines to read and. when they hav0 finished with them, take them to differ ent hospitals. One of my hopefuls is named George Moore.
