A NIGHT THOUGHT.
By ETHEL BOWEN.

By ETHEL BOWEN.
Night and stars peeping from heaven,
Night and its darkness sublime;
And afar off in the distance
The lights in the windows shine.
AS stand here watching the moon,
With its light flowing over the snow,
l only think how soon
This sight could change to woe.
For over in France men are fighting,
Killing with sword and gun;
And spies creeping up and Lighting
The thin fuse of bomb.
Over in France men are trying
To keep back the bloodthirsty foe,
And children are starving and dying,
While women stand stricken with woe.
Any night, while we are sleeping,
V A terrible bomb might come down,
And end all our happy dreaming
With loud and crashing sound.
God in His Mercy has kept US
Safe in His loving arms;
So we must love and praise Him,
Who has kept US safe from harm.

HEARD AND SEEN

Believe me, it's hard to get q seat
In the Sunday tabernacle these
nights. Nearly broke my neck get
ting to the big show early last night
and that it took the best efforts Of
the following handsome and we'll
known ushers to ind poor me q seat:
HARRY BLAKE,
H. 8. OMoHUNDRO,
PERCY 8. FOSTER
RALPH SMITH, accompanied by
Mrs. Smith, without tickets, passes
or pull, walked in at the rear doors
and by sheer will power went right
straight to the platform and sat there.
Among those present also were the
Beltsville Athletic Club and the
Naval Gun Factory Band.

The Washington times., 1918-03-01

Why do so many girls remain un-
married?
Why do SO many men live solitary
bachelor lives side by side with the
girls that would make good wives?
What could be more unnatural and
amazing than the sight Of employees,
fairly well paid. able to marry, fitted
to give useful children to the nation,
living apart, content to grow old and
die out.
Perhaps Billy Sunday had some
thing OF this sort in his mind, the
other night when he spoke to a
women only" audience at the taber-
nacIe. His remarks were as unfiat
tering as they were untrue Of Wash
ington.
He said that "the average girl to-
day does not look toward motherhood.
She is turning her home into a gamb-
ling shop and a social beer and cham
payne drinking joint, and her society
is made up Of poker players. cham
payne, wine and beer drinkers, grass
widowers and Tilted jades and slander
mongers-that comprises the society
OF the average girl today. She is be-
coming a matinee gadder and a fudge
eater"
II the half OF these accusations
were true. 1t would be cause of great
er anxiety than the war. 1t would
mean that our hopes for the future
were built of cards on sand. II the
next generation has nothing better to
look forward to than this type Of
woman for its mother, it would be
better for the next generation not to
be born.

ambulance and summoned the police
patrol When they asked him why
he got so busy. he answered:
"Begorra, wanted the Ioidy I was
writin' to. to be sure n get it,"
Evidently Mr.. Sunday wanted the
lady he was talking to to be sure and
get it, even II a few epithets hit the
innocent bystanders. But when he
says the average girl,p the term is
far too general to pelt with these un-
worthy faIlings. Washington girls are
too busy working for the Govern
ment and doing ''their bit" to indulge
in smoking.
