this writer in the Outlook, who sends the
following recollection:
MY grandmother Margaret Hill Hies
retained her keen memory of early events
for virtually all of her ninety-six years, ard
she could tell her great-grandchildrer Of her

She was sitting on the front steps OF hsr
grandmother Morrs's house (on the south
side of Walnut, just above Fourth street,

years younger.
Washington, then President. came down
the street with his staff and stopped in front
of the two children. Addressing the older,
he said Well. my little lassie, how Is your
grandmother today? And what makes your
cheeks so red?' Answering the last question
first, the little girl smiled and said, brightly

WHY NOT DO THE OBVIOUS?

UnRY-ZONING" Philadelphia is a rem
Dedy within the power of the Federal
Government for ending alleged demoraliza-
ton Of sailors and marines stationed at
League Island. The law authorizes closing
saloons within five miles of any service
center. This is a subject which readily
lends itself to hysterical action Yet Il
proclamation barring up the barrooms
would be non-remedal remedy, both prac.
tically and geographically. The navy
yard is four and half miles from City
Hall. Application of the five.mile limit
IN city of such size would simply mean
transfer and scattering of the lax con.
ditions charged half mile farther on.
Such an extra.legal device as dry.
zoning" the city is n war measure OF
hnal resort. The police department owes
protection to the youth in national
service within its gates. 1t must know the
guilty and have testimony sufficient to
convict. There are plenty of existing laws
to correct the evil. The simple remedy is
10 enforce them.

THE DIPLOMACY OF DEMOCRACY

T,HE President has swept aside all the
= old precedents of diplomatic intercourse
and addressed himself directly to the Con.
gress OF Russian Sovicts, which has as.
sembled in Moscow today
His message is not for the Bolshevik,
or for the Menshevili. nor is it for the
peasants or for the aristocracy. 1t is TO
the whole Russian people. To them lie
promises such assistance as it is possible
for one nation TO give to another in the
solution of its pressing problems.
1t is a word Of sympathy from one great
democracy TO another democracy strug-
Cling into conscious life.
II has set new precedent in the history
OF the world at a time when it is necessary
that new ways be found for solving world
problems IL anarchy and red riot are to
be prevented. The time has gone by when
chancellerles can dictate the fate of
peoples. The peoples themselves are tax.
ing matters into their own hands and let.
ting the fresh air OF freedom into the dark
places.
The Congress of Soviets is expected to
speak for all Russia. If for any reason il
fail. some other body will inevitably arise
TO perform that necessary function.

FAME

What this tickle world calls fame
Is when people speak your name
Saying pleasant things of you
1nfamy is when you find
People speaking out their mind
Finding fault with what you do.
There are flames of different sort
Like the kings who held their court
In the many lands afar
And their fame we sometimes see ;
Changes into infamy
When they start horrid war.
Many people day by day
Get quite famous in their way
Since they're kindly talked about
Like our neighbor Mrs. John
Who was operated on
And her index taken out.
Fame is very nice and yet
People very soon forget
And they take back what they gave
Kings and common folks must 60
For the glory paths you know
Only lead you to the grave.
