BEN JOHNSON Is NOT
HUMBLED BY SENATE
His Committee Will Consider Pome-
rene Resolution This Week.

Sometime this week Representa-
tive Ben Johnson of Kentucky.
chairman of the House District
Committee, and author OF the orig
inal anti-profiteering rent bill, will
call meeting Of his committee TO
consider" the Pomerene Resolution,
which excused the Senate Conferees
on the Pomerene anti-profiteering
rent bill from further duty in con-
nection with the bill.
The resolution is itself a "rebuke"
to Mr.. johnson because OF his cir
culated opinion and remarks on the
Pomerene redrafted rent measure
The atmosphere around Mr.. John
sons ONCE clearly indicates that an
inquest will be held over the re
buke" and that quite a number OF
the members OF the House Dis
trict committee will be present at
its interment with fearless eyes.
Far from being humbled by the
action OF the Senate last Saturday
afternoon. Ben Johnson is as defi-
ant as ever and will not recede an
inch from his position. There is
probably nothing that could be
more pleasing to the Kentuckian
now than to have certain members
OF the Senate present when the
House District committee meets to
consider" the Senatorial "rebuke," !"
with seats in the front row.

ing. II she is smart looking as e.
frocks and hats she will be admired.
and the majority OF people will never
know that they are admiring her cos
tune instead Of herself.
Nor need any girl despair because
she Is not clever or talented. So far
as popularity goes, it is a million
times better for a woman to be Sne
who burns incense before other peo-
pies genius than to be a genius ner-
self. Especially Is this true as regards
men who feel that they have a heridi-
tary right to the center Of the stage
and the spotlight, and who resent any
female ousting them out of II.
A clever woman, unless she Is SUPER
naturally clever enough to hide her
cleverness, Is never belle, and you
can generally gauge the brilliancy Of

wife that he picks out. Also the day

dow Pa-a-ane" in a cracked-ice voice
Is gone along with the Spanish Inqui-
sition and other mediaeval tortures.
The phonograph has superseded the
gifted young lady with the near-con-
tralto voice who wabbled "Dearie." so
If girl has what We used to call
talents, there is nowhere for her to
exhibit them nowadays. anyway.
Therefore, let the girl who has no
talents not lament over her lack, but
rather rejoice thereat, for it leaves
her free to intellectually admire
and applaud the performances of 9TH
ers, and there is no one whom We
so love, cherish and admire as the in
dividual who admireS US and gives US

I should advise the girl who wants
to be admired. yet who fears that She
has no especial natural charm to
learn how to dress. to cultivate an ap-
probation Of music, books, and art,
so that she may be properly enthusi-
astic about things that other people
do, then to learn to dance well. to
play a good game of cards, and to go
in for athletics OF various kinds as
much as she can. There is nothing
like being Sally-on-the-spot. able and
| ready to take an expert hand in any

The girl whom 1t Is delight to
dance with never lacks for partners
at a ball, no matter whether she IS
pretty or ugly, dull or stupid to talk
to. The girl who plays cards well
enough to make every game exciting
is never forgotten when bridge par

know how to do things. from whom
eligible men and hostesses pray to be
delivered.

PESSIMIST ABOUT WAR
THRASHED BY ITALIAN
James Eslin Finds to His Sorrow
That No One Loves a Crouch.

James Eslin. a confirmed pessi-
mist, found out yesterday afternoon
that no one loves a crouch. espe-
cially in war times. Today Eslin is
a wiser il not a more cheerful man.
He was in a store near the corner
of Fourteenth and u streets yester-
day, airing his views as to the
probable results of the war. Ac-
Cording to his theory the Germans
were putting it all over the allieo
nations and the only thing for the
United States to do was to surren-
der to the Hun at once and ask
them to treat us kindly.
The Italian owner of the store
resented the remarks as showing
a tendency to question the ability OF
the Sammfes to lick anything and
everything. and advanced a few ar
guments on his side of the case.
The result was that the pessimist
was badly beaten. Then the Ital-
ian had him arrested as a pro-Ger-
man in the bargain.
The police court and the Depart
ment of Justice. after investigating
the case decided that Eslin's faith
in humanity was lacking, not his
patriotism. and turned him loose.

Divorce Sought from
War Department Man

Laura NJ. Roberts, a former resi-

trict Supreme Court yesterday TO
compel her husband, Charles z. Rob-
erts. an employe of the Ordnance
Division of the War Department to
provide for her maintenance.
The Roberts were married in Mis-
souri, in July, 1914, and lived to-
gether, the petition states. until the
husband received his appointment
in September, 1917.
He came to Washington. Mrs.
Roberts states. and neglected to
send for her or in any way provide
for her support. She wrote him
many letters, she AYERS. asking for
support. but he declined to do any
thing in the matter. On June 10,
she states, she came to Washington

I have received a letter from a girl
in which she writes:
II am 20 years old. I am not pretty.
I am not clever. I have no talents.
Is it possible for a girl who Is Just
utterly ordinary and commonplace
to make herself attractive and ad-
mired-to acquire what Is called
charm?"
Yes. 1t Is nothing but stupidity
and laziness that makes a woman
acQuiesce In being as ugly and dull
as she was born. It may be true.
as the Bible says, that no man can.
by taking thought, add a cubit to
his stature. These limitations do not
apply to woman.
By taking thought. pains and
trouble, q woman can add to. or take
from. her height and her weight. and
supeimpose upon the original struc-
ture OF her mentality so many frills
and graces that she can turn out
such a masterpiece OF a fasscinator
as nature only creates in her most
exhuberant woods.
In investigating how this miracle
is accomplished. let US begin with
beauty. Goods locks are, of course,

thing that we notice about a woman
is her appearance. The first ques-
ton that a man ever asks about a
woman is whether she is beautiful
or not.
This makes 1t imperative that every
woman, and especially every girl,
shall be beautiful whether she is or
not. Fortunately this is not an i'm
possible task, for few OF US are an
alytical or have an eye for detail,
and SO when We speak Of a woman
being pretty, we merely mean that
she presents an attractive appear
nee to the eye.
Many a woman whom we regard as
beautiful has not really a trace Of
beauty or a single good feature. She
is merely a woman who knows how to
comb her hair, who has taken the
trouble to acquire the fine art of
make up. and who is always dress. i
in tasteful clothes. Take that same
woman and screw her hair UP In a
knot like q walnut. wipe the delicate
blush of rouge off her cheeks. and
dress her UP in a slouchy. ill-fitting
gown Of the wrong shape and color
and you would have a woman ugly
enough to stop the clock.

Wednesdax. June 2e. 1e1s.

This is a day Of conflicting influ-
ences, according to astrology. Venus.
Uranus and Mars are all in benetic
aspect, while Saturn and Neptune are
adverse.
Women should improve every op-
portunity during this connguration
which should benefit them in a busi-
ness as well as a domestic way.
1t is a time to make plans for the
future since Uranus gives vision and
a certain sort of wisdom that will aid
where those one love are concerned.
This Is a promising sway for the
atrical affairs. Actresses and man.
ayers should benefit greatly from in
fiuences leading toward better achieve
ment.
Fame is promised under tne raes-
sage read in this configuration for
those who have powers OF express
sion. whether as artists. writer's or
actors.
For the young who start careers
there Is an augury Of great develop
ment that will bring them unexpected
duties.
Mars gives promise Of success to
military affairs. 1t is predicted under
thiS oopCCI IildL dNldllOH Will make
satisfactory progress. for the signs
that were read as thwartirg are no

July will be month OF better prom

Financial affairs will become more
discussed as the summer advances.
Treaties and conferences in which

shadowed.
Increased prosperity is indicated for

duce satisfactory crops.
Persons whose birthdate it Is will
have an active year in business: Pleas

Children born on this day will be
