Girls Cut Their Hair.

English women in uniform, and there
are thousands and thousands and thou
sands of them doing the work of men,
are cutting their hair 10 the length af-
fected by men, says the London Daily
Mail. The caps which go with the vari-
Gus uniforms are too small to be worn
over piled hair, 50 the women have the
tresses trimmed off so close to the
head, preserving the locks to be worn
as switches later. The British woman
worker demands uniform in nearly
every war activity. In the first place,
she insists upon wearing masculine
trousers, and the neat efficiency Of a
uniform is the logical outgrowth, since
the pantaloOns of uniforms are much
more trim and stylish than civilian
trousers.

CELEBRATE EASTER IN CHINA
Its Observance Made to Correspond
With Annual Festival That Has
Been Held for Centuries.

In an attempt to plant Christianity
In Chinese soil every effort is being
exerted TO relate its observances to
Chinese custom, and thus to make
"the Church of Christ in China" n
genuinely Chinese church. One such
movement is concerned with Easter.
1t Is remembered that Easter (Eoster)
originally was the AnglO-SaXon god
dess of spring. 1t is now intended
that the Christians of China shall
line up their Easter celebration with
the spring pure Bright Festival" of
their native land.
Annually this native anniversary
finds the Chinese people visiting the
graves of their dead, repairing the
fallen mounds of earth, and covering
them with paper money for the use Of
the spirits of the departed. 1t is hoped
that the better features of this observ-
anec may be retained by the Christian
church, and Easter actually take the
place Of the Pure Bright Festival, as
rejoicing in the resurrection of Jesus
was substituted for the worship of
Foster by our forefathers.
One Christian community in China
has found IL advantageous to hold its
special observance OF Easter not on
Sunday, but on Easter Monday. After
having held services of rejoicing on
Sunday i'm their own houses Of wor-
ship, all the Christians of the city have
become accustomed to gather at cen
trail point for common celebration
of the resurrection of the Lord.
Two thousand Chinese Christians as
sembled on recent Easter Monday to
take part in the annual Easter Choral
Festival" In China crowds are usual
ly noisy, Needless OF anyone's desire
for quiet, and even in the temple and
temple court they are irreverent and
unrestrained. But this Christian con-
gregation sat in a Christian church
with the greatest reverence-quiet, at.
tentive, wOrshipful.
A choir of 800 vOices-students Sc
lected from the missions schools for
boys and girls-had been trained for
months n preparation for the festival.

Job Too Bio for AVERAGE Man.

1t takes lots of brains. patience and
attractiveness TO keep everybody
straight. The trouble is it's not so
much matter of benefit to others as
it is satisfaction to yourself to be
the general manager of things. The
world could lose several in every
community and its efficiency and
peace would not suffer in the least.
The chap that would be general man
ager of any group of people must not
only be a man of big mentality but 1t
has to be recognized to bring harmo-
NOUS results.

How Value Of Pearls Is Fixed.

One must know pearls TO fix their
values. Neither size, shape, color or
luster will determine their worth, but
all those facts, and perhaps some 9TH
ers, that the pearl experts know about,
must be taken into consideration.
There is lot Of popular ignorance
about pearls. Once in while some
newspaper has story of a person
breaking a tooth on pearl while eat
ing an oyster and selling the pearl for
enough to pay the dentists bill. That
is one of the things that "ain't so"

SEIZE Dutch SHIPS
IN ALLIED PORTS
OVER SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND
TONS WILL BE PLACED IN
COMMISSION AT ONCE.
HOLLAND TO BE ASSURED FOOD
The Tonnage Which Is in American
Ports Will Speed Up Orders to
Rush Armies to France.

Washington-Six hundred thousand
tons OF Dutch shipping in Allied ports
are to be taken over by the United
movement of American troops to
France. Full compensation is to be
made TO insure food for Holland. This
was emphasized in official circles.
Taken only after painstaking con-
sideration, the action emphasizes, as
no single act in months. President
Wilson's will to win the war.
The additional tonnage, 100000 OF
which is in American ports, will make
easily possible the execution OF the
new orders that have gone forth from
the White House to speed up the ar
mics to France.
The effect OF the action, which is
expected to be taken, is to round W
finally to uses of the United States
and the Allies for the period Of the
war all neutral shipping OF the world.
The proposition before Holland is
to place her ships in the service Of
the Allies voluntarily, or have them
requisitioned. With a German gun
pointed at her head it is not expected
that she will enter into voluntary
arrangement.
There is. however, no suggestion
that Holland will be driven by the act
into war on the side of Germany.
Though probably declining terms laid
down, it is recognized on all sides,
that the proposition to requisition the
ships is an entirely legal one in in.
ternational law.
However, there is every disposition
to treat Holland with the greatest gen.
crosby. Her greatest need is food. In
this respect she is not far from actual
famine. Regardless of the expectation
that she will refuse to agree to the
plan she will get all the food she
needs.
If she is blocked in this it will be
by Germany. And Germany must
bear the blame of starving her. This
is the attitude OF the American gov
eminent as accurately expressed as
possible on the basis of information
from responsible officials.

follows:
In United States ports, 100000; in
British ports, 100000, and in other
Allied ports, 100000. They have been
tied up in these ports because of .he
unwillingness OF the United States
and the Allies to give them cargoes
unless, under guarantees not only
that goods would not go to Germany,
but that some of Hollands tonnage
sorely needed, should be made avail
able to the Allies needs.

policy for the tearing down of unsghty temporary build
ings as fast as they no longer needed.
Without definite action by Congress, placing the re-
sonsbility for wreUage somewhere, these buildings win

into eyesores of the worst sort
The understanding IN Congress was that these build
ings were to be temporary, lasting only during the

should at least establish some policy and place tne pro

The suggestion has been made that the Bureau of Indus

Congress indicates its purpose to begin their gradual de-

OLD DAYS ON VIRGINIA
AVENUE.

BEN C. McQUAY stirs up recollec-

ginia and Maryland avenue sections

Of questions he asks through Heard
and Seen He wants a roll call OF
the fellows who remember the things
he refers to, and I take 1t for grant,
ed that he would like them to answer
through these columns. He declares
that the Johnny Ferris ice wagon
crowd is not in 1t with the gang
he once ran with. Here he goes:
1 would like to hear from the boys
who attended school in the old frame
buildings on the site Of the present
Jefferson building, Virginia avenue
southwest, and who broke windows
in the old Island Hall on the corner
of Sixth street and Virginia avenue.
Also the old Irish ladies who
served milk in the evenings from
large cans with pint and half-pint
cups hanging from the spout? This
was before large diaries monopolized
the business.
Also when the railroad from the
South had its main station at Ninth
street and Maryland avenue. Dummy
engines ran trains from Alexandria,
and through trains were pulled from
Ninth street to the B. & o. station
by horses. Also the long platform
at which all the omnibuses from the
leading hotels backed up for passen-
gers? How many Of you fellows
hung around there?
Also when the Smithsonian
grounds were enclosed with paling
fence and the boys smoked Indian
cigars from the trees in the grounds.
Also the boys who were spanked
by John z. Thompson, principal OF
the grammar school corner Of Sixth
street and Virginia avenue. That

the one man In the world we could
ever have completely loved or been
happy with. 1t helps US to drama
TIE our own experience, to be q
great deal more interesting to our
selves than we should be other
wise. Once we become convinced
OF this, we can play before our
own mirror, II nowhere else, the
role OF unhappy heroine.
Both the happy married woman
and the disappointed unmarried
one incline to this belief that there
can be but one love In a lifetime.
But they speak only from their
own experience, which has held
but one full-sized love. How can
they speak for all the other women
Of the world? for the women who
have large-heartedly loved twice,
or even more. and who glory in it?
One Way of Loving.
And yet there are cases where a
single love has had extraordinary
influence in molding a life.
Cases which have seemed very
wonderfully to bear out the theory
that there's but one love in a life
time.
And these are cases, 1 believe,
where a normal human love has
been touched by the magic wand
Of imagination. There, l think, is
the secret of the whole matter.
its the highly imaginative woman
whose one great love lasts I'M
dimmed to the day Of her death.
1t is the imaginative woman in
whom a love Of this sort comes to
CLEAN like a golden thread wind
ing through the plain-colored Ia
pestry of a life that is actually
filled with a calmly contented
marriage and happy motherhood.
In the heart and mind of an
imaginative woman her one great
love becomes so rarefied and trans
formed that it doesn't really con-
flict with any other human emo
ton.
Do you remember the story tina.
Mark Twain tells about his
mother?
Having married young. she
spent a long life apparently in per-
feet contentment and peace. Both
as wife and mother she seemed to
have achieved unusually happy re-
lationships.
And yet, when she was a very
old lady, she persuaded her grand
daughter to take a long journey
with her to a city where she had
read that a youthful lover of hers
was to be seen.
They missed him, but the Incl
dent served to reveal the fact that
this child love, so delicate, so I'M
lowered, that the boy and girl
had never even spoken of it to
each other, had throughout four
score years dominated the imagi-
nation of this irreproachable wife
and mother.
Women's hearts hold strange
and secret chambers. It won't do
to be too dogmatic as to what
finds lodgment there
