HAS SUFFERED
FROM TRADITION
Modern Writer Gives Us New Ver-
sion of the Character of
Washington.
Great Soldier as He Is Universally
Acknowledged, He Was Also a
Seer-DeathIess Champion
of the Rights Of Hu-
mainly.

N n ORE than any other American
IN statesman, more than any
wv other American, Washington
has suffered from tradition,
writes John D. Barry in the Washing
ton Times.
In fact, can't think of any other
great man in the history Of the world
who has been damaged in just the
same way, through being made to ap-
pear so good.
The reason is that he has been pre-
eminently the children's hero.
He is a distinguished victim of the
deceit we practice on children in the
name Of education.
Only the very good boys and girls
care for the story of Washington and
the cherry tree.
The others, the majority, are bored,
or amused, or puzzled.
And then there is the saying, dinned
into the ears Of American childhood,
washington never told a lie.'
1t alone alienates vast numbers Of
children from Washington. In their
little hearts it finds no answering
echo, no enthusiastic desire for emula-
ton.
For truth telling, much as we love
it in children, and much as we labor
to graft it on those highly imaginative
minds, is often virtue that develops
only with years, related to intelli.
gence and to mature character.
1t derives it's beauty largely from
association with other qualities more
sympathetic.
Do Real Damage to Truth.
Self-assertive truth-tellers often
seem rigid in character. They do
great damage to truth by making it
seem, not beautiful, as it should be,
but hideous.
Even In minds of maturity, to the
reputation of Washington there still
cltngs a suggestion Of the comic.
Thackeray did not help the situation
when he introduced the youthful
Washington into 'The Virginians" as
highly self-conscious and priggish
colonial.
There is a fine chance for a new
historian of Washington, one who will
bring out the real man. =
Owen Wister made a start some
years ago, when he published little
book, emphasizing Washingtons more
human qualities. But the book way
too slight to be comprehensive:+ MI
Wister may yet write the complete
history needed by the world of today
For today. Of all times, thet world

ought to reflect on the service of
Washington in the making of this ma
ton and on the attitude of Washing
ton toward the future of this nation.
Washington a Seer.
Since the Spanish war the Farewell
Address, once classic and apparent
ly just about as much alive as most
classics, has fallen into disfavor. We
don't hear of it's being pointed to
with pride" as often as we did.
Perhaps if we do go back to it we
shall find that Washington, besides
being a soldier and a statesman, was
a seer.
And seer is much more interesting
than a little boy that chops down a
cherry tree or a man that has never
told lie.
A seer has a way of projecting him.
self into the future and finding a new
life there.
AS prophet Washington is a vital
force today. But he is a force that
has been consciously and deliberately
disregarded.
Washington, the hero of Valley
Forge, was essentially man of peace.
He saw that the happiness and secu-
rity of this country lay, just as the
happiness of an individual did, in a
policy of noninterference
And as soon as this country ceased
to follow this policy Washington fore
saw complications.
On the surface it seems strange that

NEW YORK, May 17.-Charles Dill
ingham and Mr.. Billie Burke, pardon,
FlOrenz Ziegfeld, Jr., have taken over
the monument to art-the Century
theater. The Century was just bi.
too artistic. Its millionaire patrons
soon tired Of 1t and were slipping away
from the high browish performances
there to see the leg shows that Dill
iEgham and Ziegfeld produced.
Time after time the Century has
struggled on the brink of oblivion.
Not long ago Ned Wayburn came along
with bunch OF ideas and rich Utah
miner as an angel and opened the
theater. The rich Utah miner put up
a fortune or so and then came on to
see what 1t was all about. He took one
look and the next day Wayburn was
as free of a job as chorus girl who
stays away from rehearsal without
notifying the manager.
The new lessees are to make 1t into
n musical comedy house. 1t was a
terrible come down for the Century
but II must bear 1t somehow. The
cafe will be designed after the Pre-
Catalin In Paris and there will be
sumptuous club rooms for men and
lounging rooms for women. There
will also be a roof garden.

There are an odd lot OF songs being
sung in the cafes, the Broadway thea
ters and in the various cabarets these
days. "Slam-Its Lonesome Where l
Am" is the hit of a new roof show
and "A Girl in Your Arms is Worth
Two in Your Dress" is featured at
the largest variety house in Longacre
Square.
And uptown in the dansants the
title of the favorite hit is You Can't
Get Along With En- or Without En-
You've Got to Have En- That's AL"
This is the array despite the fact that
only few weeks ago all the psycholo-
g'sts were writing for the Sunday
papers that the war had tanned and
chained the popular songs. No more
would the rag-time. fox trot bits take
the public.
They pointed to the success OF the
Mother" song and Are You Half the
Man Your Mother Thought You'd Be '
AS a matter of fact II song is tune
full and pretty 1t does not matter
much in New York whether 1t Is full

The rich do such terrible things.
There is the story of Louis Ehret. the
son OF the big brewer. that is going
the rounds. He is lover of music
and is IN excellent musician himself.
All his spare time he devotes to study
Ing the old masters.
The other day his wife had birth
day. He could easily have given.her a
flock of motor cars or a group OF
diamond sunbursts. But he did moth
ing of the sort.
He got together an orchestra of sixty
high class musicians and secreted
them in a private room in his home.
After the evening meal he asked his
wife to go to the ball room and wait
for him. She went. He soon marched
in leading his musicians.
He arranged them a platform and
then acted as conductor while they
played a musical composition he had
written and dedicated TO her. What
patience he must have been certain
his wife had.
