A certain esteemed citizen Of Wash

about it until he reads this.
Let it be stated right here that the
citizen in question is a model man, one
engaged in upholding the highest
standards of the community. But, like
all men of force, when something gets
in his way he acts.
Gordian knots are cut still by our
modern Alexanders.
1t was night on Pennsylvania avenue.
A young woman was on her way
homeward, when along came the
estimable citizen IN his automobile.
Hello, Mary" he said. ''Get in. I'll
take you home"

AS she stepped into the back seat of
the car she stumbled over some sort
of strange machine, the nature of
which she could not make out.
After she had adjusted herself in the
seat, however. and the car was start

amined the machine.

Iare you doing with this No Parking

story.

Dick Connors was sitting In his office
in the Washington Board of Trade
headquarters on the fifth floor of The
Star building when IN came a farmer.
The agriculturist was fine looking
old fellow, with a white beard. such as
farmer ought to have. and all the
other "trimmings.' He was breathing
hard.
whats the matter?" asked Dick, in
his best city tones. You appear to be
all out Of wind"
Dick had visions of an attempt at
robbery on the farmer.
The latter painted loudly, took on his
hat and wiped his brow.
II had to climb them gol darn stairs,
he breathed.
why didn't you take the elevator?"
asked Dick.
The farmer looked knowingly at
Dick.
These be war times, young feller,"
he said. II amt got no money to waste
ridin' on a elevator"
Our first "workless Monday" has
come and gone, and industry is still in
dustry and business Is still business.
In it's wake it left the following:
A well known business man recently
decided to have his new suit made by a
certain tailor who had small shop,
but who did very good work.
The tailor sent him card. asking

So a country's export possibilities are
no larger than its ports. 1t is an unfor-

the New York port. There are ports in
Massachusetts. Maryland and Georgia

The business man was very busy. but
he did want that suit, SO he put aside

Walking in, he asked for the tailor.

The visit of John Masefeld, poet and
soldier, to Washington recently at
tracted the attention of scores of peo-
pie who have known him through his
tales of the sea and other stories in
verse form.
The auditorium of the Central High
School was packed by the hundreds who
came to see what real, live poet
looked like. The National Capital, in
1918. may claim its full share OF So
phistication in matters political. but
the visit of poet is another thing.
Several years ago Alfred Noyes. fell
low Englfshman of Masefeld. spoke
here. and people were delighted to find
him simple. frank. good-natured fell
low who had all the earmarks of a
successful young business man.
So this time they wondered what
Nasefield would be like. Would he
spout yards and yards of poetry from
memory? He was scheduled to read
his poems.
Masefield talked about the war.
He has been through 1t, and talked
from personal experience. He said
scarcely a word concerning his poems.
At the conclusion Of his talk some
one insisted that he give them several
of his poems.
''T'll have to have a copy" he said,
simply.
Finally, after much search through
the audience, one lone copy Of tho book
needed was found.

the city of Washington The Star Of that
day printed the measure in full and said:
We give considerable space today to
the provisions of the bill to ronew the
charter Of the city Of Washington. 1t will
be seen that 1t proposes to continue the
corporation form of government in the
main as It exists at present, but with
such notifications as experience has
shown to be necessary. The leading fea-
turo-that merging all the conflicting
Jurisdictions Of the county in one nu-
nicipality-will meet with general accept
ance. It had been hoped by many that in
case the elective system was continued
here territorial form Of government
might be given to the District and it was
understood that Senator Harlan favored
that plan. But 1t seems that he has now
come to the conclusion that Congress- hav-
ing exclusive legislative Jurisdiction over
sary power. The bill provides that the
offices Of recorder of deeds. register of
wills. Judge Of the Orphans Court and
justices OF the peace now filled by ap-
pointment by the President shall he made
elective. Taxation is limited to II. per
centum for general purposes and the cor
poratfon is debarred from creating any
corporate debt which shall at any time

TT seems certain now that two
measures, this bill OF Mr. Harlan's. for
extending the charter. and that Of Gov.
Morrill. providing for government by
commissioners. will be brought forward
in Congress and the relative strength
OF each in that body will soon be in
dicated. It will be the duty of all good
citizens in the matter Of such vital
Importance to interest themselves in
forwarding the passage Of a measure
that shall embody as much that is for
our good and as little that is preju-
dicial to us as possible. To this end
We shall be glad to receive and pub
