High School "Frats. ="

The West End Citizens Associa-
ton has placed itself on record as
opposing the movement to abolish
high school fraternities and sorori-
ties. As the residents of Washington
gradually are awakened to the fact
that there is an apparently we'll or
ganized attempt to abolish these
organizations, the opposition proba-
bly, will appear in much stronger
force, especially among parents whose
children attend the high schools.
The efforts of those who oppose
the "frats" seem to be conferred in a
movement to have the Board of Edu-
cation decree that no member of a
fraternity or sorority will be permit
ted to attend the schools. Such an
order apparently would be far beyond
the province of the school board for
the reason that the fraternities do not
meet in the school buildings and the
activities of the organizations do not
come within school hours.
But II the board should find it has
authority for barring members of fra
ternities and sororities there is rea-
son to believe that in some instances
the pupils would attempt to continue
in secret the activities which they
consider their right and which they
now carry on openly with the consent
of parents and most teachers. The
evils that might arise from such secret
activities are almost innumerable.
The friends and supporters of the
"frats" may expect the Board of Edu.
cation to give the subject thorough
investigation and consideration before
taking action, and investigation un-
doubtedly will mean that the "frats"
will not be barred.

In Praise Of Kicksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving Day, it would appear.
"an visit us but once a year;
Eicksgiving day comes to our door
Three hundred three score times and four
Thanksgiving Day we eat a bird,
menu circumscribed, absurd;
EicksEiving day with proper zest
We diligently eat the rest
Thanksgiving Day we gather in
The far-on cousins. distant kin;
Kicksgiving day. It is our boast,
We spend with those we love the most
Thanksgiving Day too often fits
And leaves us proven hypocrites:
kicksgiving day We are sincere
And always make our feelings clear.

Probably the members of that diet
squad out in Chicago were judicious in
following the instinct that told them
before entering upon their experiment in
cheap living, to guard against its effects
by eating with special heartness. For.
while it is easy to figure out Just the
amount of food required to sustain life by
making up for it's theoretical waste of
heat and substance, immemorial expert
ence has demonstrated that this is not
enough-that merely sufficient diet does
not long maintain either health or hap
pineSs. No doubt some of us eat too
much, even in these days of high prices.
and no doubt We suffer from It. Yet
scrupulous dieters rarely justify by ap-
pearance or condition the surprising vir-
tues OF their scanty or undiversified
regimen. After all, appetite, taste, and
inclination are not the worst of guides in
matters alimentary. They do lead us
astray. not infrequently, but their pro-
tests against restriction to the amount of
food that will barely sustain life are well
grounded.-New York Timaar

May enumerate some Of manv caus..,
Ihe wet spring; the unusually long hot
spell last summer; speculation and ex-
portauon; ignorance in the purchase of
FOOD; extravaganza and waste: these
causes are part OF the condition.
But above all is the high cost of labor
and lack Of workmen in the rural dis
trlcts. In the fruit belt of the North
east 10000 tons of apples rotted on the
ground and in Minnesota and the
DaKotas, Iowa, Wisconsin. and Michigan
the farmers could not get hands to do
the work. The low rumble of 'schreck-
lecheit that is heard over the land Is
only the natural result of an unusuai
combination of circumstances high

Congress will not be able to do very
much. The Tammany Representative is
no doubt. more interested, as he SAYS,
IN striking a blow at Merrie England
than in the secondary consideration of
reducing the cost of living An embargo
might, as Fitzgerald says, strike a blow
at England but who cares for that?
Who wants to strike a blow at England
or anybody else? The President anc
congress do not want to hit anyone;
they want to help everyone!

Another German air raid on Lon
don has been made and two more
Zeppelins have been destroyed. The
official statement issued in London
declares that only four persons in
the capital city were injured and that
"only slight material damage was
caused" II is probable that the
crews of both Zeppelins, probably
three-score of men, perished. A care
full study and comparison of London
and Berlin reports on the result of
all the Zeppelin raids that have been
made over England probably will re-
veal that Germany has lost ten times
more in men and money than Britain.
Perhaps the real reasons for the con-
tinuation of these raids will not be-
come known until after the war is
ended. Until then, the pursuance by
Germany of what obviously is a los
ing game commonly will be ascribed
to German stupidity.

False Economy.

FOR the present positions now
paid at from 5000 to ST., 900 per annum
we now are under the duty not mere
ly to get but to hold the employees;
or to lose the invaluable asset oi
their experience and training in our
methods. We are not succeeding
The best of them are leaving US for
better salaries elsewhere; and those
who remain are engaged in an inces-
SAINT struggle to meet expenses which
during fourteen years have steadily
increased with the cost of living. II
is hard for them, it is injurious to
their efficiency and it brings the Ii
brary of Congress into discredit with
other government establishments"
The above is an extract from the
annual report of the Library of Con-
gress for 1914, submitted by Libra
rian Putnam. The report is an accu-
rate portrayal of the conditions in the
Library and is strong indictment OF
the methods by which Congress has
appropriated for the salaries of gov
ernment workers.
The conditions described by Mr.
Putnam are not unique in the govern
ment service. Similar conditions are
to be found in each of the executive
departments and other branches oi
the government, and these conditions
daily have grown worse as the cost
OF living has mounted higher Mr.
Putnam describes the human side OF
the situation in these words: "Thosc
who remain are engaged in an ex-
cessant struggle TO meet expenses
But there is another side which he
pictures equally as well, the side
which shows that the government
actually is losing money through !
false belief that there is economy ir
low wages.
By paying the smallest salaries
possible, Congress apparently has
made its library a sort of training
school for those who wish to study
library work. But as soon as the
student-employe acquires full knowl.
edge of his duties and his experience
is an asset he discovers that the gov
eminent is not willing to pay what he
actually is worth. Confronted by q
cost OF living that probably will con-
tinue to increase and a salary that
remains at a standstill, there is nc
choice but to accept another position
where experience and faithful service
are rewarded at full value. Mr.. Put.
nam says: "The best of them are
leaving us for better salaries else
where"
Standing alone, the report which
Librarian Putnam has submitted to
Congress should be sufficient to cause
that body to give speedy considera-
ton to the urgent necessity for in
crcasing the salaries of government
employees. But to the arguments which
Mr.. Putnam has set forth may be
added many scores equally as con-
vincing and easy to find in practically
all branches of the government
service.
From the standpoint of humane
justice, from the standpoint of econ
omy, and from the standpoint of ordi,
nary business efficiency, Congress
apparently can have no choice but to
grant salary increase to all govern,
mcnt employees that will equalize the
increase in the cost of living.

Democrats in the District OF Co.
lumbia do not vote, but most of them
hold Office. So they all turned out
the other night, lugged torches,
burned red fire and yelled themselves
hoarse for the President, who re-
viewed the procession. The next
morning, we understand, all the pa
raiders filed demands for an increase
in salary. Evening Moni-
tor. The understanding is just as
correct as that of the Monitor in
predicting New Hampshire would be
placed in the Republican column in
the national election by a greater
majority than ever before given a
Republican Presidential candidate.
