Washington Should Vote

No imagination conceive any of the great forefah

No power of argument be brought to bear to

the District of Columbia should send thrtyone men to
Congress and that they should help tell Washington what

foreign rulers.
No one familiar with the war cry ''No taxation with

The War a Conversation Boon.
The war has been a tremendous
boon TO families whose dinner
tables have been dull and silent
and dull, silent, gloomy meals are
the end of digestion, the death of
inspiration, the mOrgue of family
life. No wonder men frequently
rush or to some one who has a
fresh point of view, TO some one
who can discuss their hobby with
them, or some one from whom he
can get little mental recreation.
As wise Frenchman once said:
Life is so daily" and it's up TO
the woman who presides over the
destiny of some man, to provide in
terest, refreshment, and amuse-
ment.
But. alas, in addition to having
nothing interesting to say. thou

l believe that it has already
spoiled you and made you a bit
unreasonable. This, alas, is not a
Garden of Eden, but a work-a-day
world where women must face
facts and take their share of the

are worthy of the name Of wo-

sites who do none of these things,
but we are not discussing them at

Wonderful RainbOws Are Tickle to the Eye

This interesting situation occurs
near many waterfalls, where steep
and high banks overhang a vast
chasm into which the waters pour,
as at Niagara. throwing up clouds
of spray, that become a home OF
rainbOws. 1t also occurs when the
observer is in a balloon or an aero
plane at u great elevation NJ.
F'lammariOn, the French astrono-
mer, who was very fond of bal
looming in his younger days. once
saw a circular rainbow in that way.
and curiously enough, it presented
he appearance of an ordinary
rainbow upside down when clouds
happened TO hide the upper half
Of il.
The angles mentioned apply
only to the primary or principal
arch of a rainbow. Often a sec
Ondary and fainter arch is seen
outside the primary one. having
an extreme radius of about "a de-
grees. BY combinations OF cir
CumSLances and conditions into
which | cannot enter, groups of
rainbows are sometimes seen. such
as the triple rainbow" in which
one of the arches is formed by
sunbeams reflected from water,
and this arch intersects the sec
Ondary of the regular bow. thus
producing an extraordinary aud
beautiful effect.

walton, there will be no rainbow
seen; at least no primary bow.
Now let US consider the case Of
an observer who is elevated to a
great height above the horizon, as
on a lofty mountain peak, or in. a
balloon. In such a situation it is
possible to see the entire circle
of Il rainbow, the lower half being
no longer concealed by the inter-
position of the earth.
Thus, standing on the edge of
the Grand Canyon, with a ,.recipice
Of thousands of feet yawning be-
meath YOU, and with a rainbow
formed in the mists of the CANYON
between you and its opposite wall,
it is clear that in favorable cir
cumstances you may see the entire
circle of the bow; since your eve
may range down more than 40 de-
grees below the center of the bow
without passing from the mist
charged air to the ground. In
other words, wherever a line drawn
from the sun through your head
would mark the center of a circle
in the air 81 degrees in diameter,

your range of vision, it void be in
possible for a complete circular
rainbow to appear to you.

THE other day this letter

it seems typical of the
grievance Of so many women, !
feel inclined to answer it at
length.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
up to the time this country
went to war, l was the happiest
woman in the world. had been
married about year, and my
husband seemed to live only to
please me. He did what ! want
ed, went where l wanted, and
thought everything / did was per-
feet.
But now he seems to care
about nothing but reading of the
war; he is thirty-eight, and a bad
heart keeps him from enlisting.
He rushes for the morning paper
before it is light, reads till break
fast, props it against the coffee
pot, and reads during breakfast.
At night he brings home a pile of
papers, books, magazines, and
reads and reads and reads. If |
ask him a question, he absent
mindedly says, M-m-m-m, without
knowing what I've said. What
would you do about it, Miss Fair
fax?
yours,
"DISCoNSoLATE."
In the first place, Disconsolate,
I'd try to realize that a year is a
good, long, generous honeymoon,
and that it's about time to wake
up and realize that life is made
up of more serious things than
living only to please a little lady
