"Myra, dear, have you any objec-
ton to my going out to the park to-
night with Charley Brown? You see,
his wife is away. and he is lonely, and
he thought it might break the mo-
notony of his existence to get out next
to nature. somewhere. And he asked
me to go along"
| sprung this on Myra when I got
home last evening. Not that it was
necessary. but I've always gone on the
theory that it is best to tell your
wife your plans Your confidence in
her inspires her with confidence in you
which is a most welcome asset, as
any husband can testify.
Myra made me wait an uncomfor-
tably long interval before she replied:
Robert. of course. I've no objec-
ton. Go ahead"
You're a little brick, Myra." 1 said
warmly. Il knew you wouldn't object.
But. of course, we'll be out rather
late"
Il don't care said Myra. and we
went in to dinner.
Later in the evening, while / was
putting on a clean collar preparatory
to the might out" the thought came
to me to have a little fun with Myra.
So, pretending serious vein, ] told
her that Charley and l had planned TO
make a memorable evening of it.
We're going to take in everything
out at the park" l said.
That will be splendid" returned
Myra. with an unwarrantable degree
of enthusiasm. Il suppose you'll pat
ronize the bathing beach and the roll
Ter coaster and listen to the band?"
You bet
Il would. Robert, if | were you. It's
good to get out once in awhile"
Yes l asserted. Il really do need
more recreation"
Il would be very happy if you could
get more-recreation." And Myra
laughed. suspiciously. You do stick
around this house entirely too much"

WOULD HAVED, {,
MAKE own Laws
Citizens Committee Presents
Self-government Plea
to Congress.
PUTS REASONS IN BRIEF
Says Congress Spends One-welfth of
Time Lesislatins for Small
Fraction of People.
PUTS REASONS IN BRIEF

An argument in favor of self-gov-
eminent has been handed to tho joint
committee of Congress appointed to
investigate the fiscal relations be-
tween the Federal government and the
District of Columbia by the citizens
committee of forty. Of which Dr. A.
]. McKelway is chairman.
In the brief OF the committee it Is
shown that although Washington con-
sists Of q third of a million of peo-
pie. II IL not only denied the right
Of self-government, but also the priv
ilege of electing its legislative and
executive officials. and has no voice
in the selection of its judges. 1t is
suggested that whereas an act of Con-
gress deprived the District of it's con-
troll in local affairs. so an act of Con-
gress could re-establish that power
A brief history of the District is
set out, and the delegate in Congress
plan is discussed as being inexpedient
and unsatisfactory. 1t is shown that
Congress could easily protect the ma
tional interests in the National Cap
ital by reserving the right of veto for
legislation by the District, as in ter
ritorial governments.
Cite Waste of Time.
The brief also points out that the
present method of securing legislation
for the District is grossly inadequate
and unsatisfactory because of the
control by small group of men on
the District committees. and also that
it is uneconomic because at least one
twelfth of the time of each House
of Congress is consumed in discussion
of legislation for about one-third of
1 per cent of the population of the
United States
The committee summarizes its posi-
ton as follows:
THE present system retards the growth
along national lines OF the National Cap
ital. With Congress occupied with gen.
eral legislation for the District and with
appropriating money for purely munich
pal affairs. with the financial inability
of the District to raise by taxation even
half of the sum that would be neces-
sary for making Washington the capt.
tai of capitals. the city Is neither
model municipality nor the object of
national pride that it well might become
under other conditions"
The Citizens Committee of Forty has
been making a quiet but persistent fight
for local self-government and intends
to press this phase of the local political
situation vigorously in the next Con-
gress.

WHEN A MAN is MARRIED

you feel about it, right here's where
your old hubby turns over another

That's the way to talk" Myra en-
couraged.
1 decided it was time to force the
climax. "Myra, dear, you won't re-
greet asserting to this little old even
ing out. will YOU"
Il should say not" Myra was scorn-
full.
We'll. then. Charley said he might
meet his cousin out there at the park
Do you think it would be proper for
me to be with him under such condi-
tions?"
why wouldn't it?" Myra countered
with an innocent look on her face
Perhaps Charley might scare up a
cousin for you"
Now, see here, Myra," expostu-
lated Don't be sarcastic"
I'm not. Robert. Please don't think
me so. 1 have entire confidence in you.
and want you to go out there and
have good time. Please believe me
when 1 say that"
"All right. Myra," I answered, but
doubt obtruded.
AS 1 was about to take the car, I
discovered that I had forgotten my
pocketbook. Re-entering the house to
get it, 1 heard Myra at the telephone
rs this the Wharton residence? Oh,
Mary. Roberts gone out for a time
tonight. I'm coming over"
The one really sore spot in my do
mestic life is this Mary Wharton, my
wife's old schoolmate. How / detest
her! She talks too much.
'Myra. / don't believe I'll 60 out"
I said when my wife had left the
phone.
"Oh, why not. Robert? Go ahead"
Il won't do it" l was determined
That's shame. Robert. I've just
arranged to go over to Mary's"
We'll. you can cancel the engage
ment," I replied su1lenly.
But Mary might dig up a couple
of cousins" Myra was triumphant
Mary can go to Guinea ! yelled
AS I was falling asleep later, 1 was
conscious of Myra bending over me
She kissed me quietly. and-wer.
Friend Husband, I'm glad I didn't go
out to the park. Not that there would
have been anything wrong. you un-
derstand. but-say. what's the use of
shaking a wifes confidence just for
the sake of a Jest?
