10000 New People---ROoms

Congress is going along its way utterly neglecting the
fact that people being brought here work for the Gov
ernment without having any place to i've
The Government will bring to Washington 18 500 people
by the first day of July and between that day and Decem

count to be obtained by the most interested in the Gov

The Central Room Renting Bureau has only available
accommodations listed for 5000 people. -.
1t MAY dig up places for 5000 more, but even that
would be accommodations for about quarter of the people

There is an Administration housing bill in Congress

LOVE LEFT TO CHANCE
Bee" Which the Human Spinsr Resembles

Love and marriage are left too
much to chance in this country.
We have armies Of magnificent
women-ftted to be the mothers
of a superior race-who live and
die spinsters.
And we have armies of bach
elors, desiccating into pessimists
whose keenest joy seems to be
discovering a draft-or what a
nuisance other peoples children
are!
As a country the United States
has largely 'let out" its marrying
and giving in marriage. A glance
at our vital statistics, with its
overwhelming number of foreign
names, will prove this.
We Have Developed An Anomaly.
Like the bee, We seem to have
developed a curious anomaly
creature whose sole function is
work. Birth, work, and death
a pretty grim formula, yet that
makes up life for the strange
atypical creature that we and the
bees have developed. With the
bees this worker is invariably a
spinster, with US IL is approx
mately a spinster, but sometimes
we have also male creatures
whose melancholy saga is made
I'D of birth, work, and death!
Maeterlinck, in his wonderful
prose poem, "The Life of the
Bee" speculates on the motives
that prompt the bee to lead this
life Of unmitigated toll. He asks:
"Why do they renounce sleep,
the delights of honey and love, and
the exquisite leisure enjoyed for
instance, by their winged brother,
the butterfly? Why will they not
live as he lives? 1t is not hunger
that urges them on. Two or three
flowers suffice for their nourish-
ment, and in one hour they will
visit two or three hundred to col
lect a treasure whose sweetness
they never will taste. Why all
this toll and distress and whence
comes this mighty assurance? Is
il SO certain, then, that the new
generation whereunto you offer
YOUR lives will merit the sacrifice:
will be more beautiful, happier,
will do something you have not
done? Your aim is clear to us,
clearer far than our own; you de-
sire to live, as long as the world
itself, in those that come after;
but what can the aim be of this
great aim: what the mission Of
existence eternally renewed?"
Sordid Money Considerations.
In the case of the diligent
human spinster and her equally
assiduous brother-in-toil, it is to
be feared that the cause of the
tragedy is not so altruistic, too
often sordid money consideration
The Washington times., 1918-03-15

rude crowding and Jostle Of the
polls"
To this new order of things
there must, of course, be a system
Of adjustment on the part of the
employer and employe, but that
doubtless can be managed, after
the dust of battle has subsidized.
And we may expect the dust of
battle, clouds and clouds of it, as
we had last.year and the year be-
fore, when the married woman
school teachers case was fought
out, with the victory going to the
married woman school teacher.
The Toilers Should Be Given a
Chance.
These considerations do not ap-
ply to people of wealth, but to
the human equivalent Of the
spinster bee and her brother-in-
toll whose lives are summed up in
birth, work and death. The toll
ers should be given a chance at
their constitutional rights Of
health, wealth and the pursuit
of happiness"
A woman who has sufficient in
telligence to command a lob" is
better able to administer house
hold affairs and bring up chill
dren well than her parasitical
sister. Divorce is not prevalent
among busy people, their minds
are active, they have countless
resources outside the pale of idle
ness.
The put asunder" legal special
lists do not get their spectacular
fees from this class, as they do
among the bridge experts, and the
bright young men whose chief
concern is the matching of sock
and tie, and the lovely ladies who
devote the flower of their ener-
gies to keeping away "lines," and
whose hands look as if they never
did helpful deed.
War As Our Awakener.
But the war is beginning to
make less selfish even women Of
this class. You see them at con-
servation meetings, at patriotic
rallies, and practical food demon
strations-a world of suffering
has opened up new avenues to
them, vast continents far beyond
the realms of bridge playing,
country clubdom, face creaming,
and amusement.
Perhaps even these will lend
sisterly hand to the toilers; they
may help In the great reconstruc-
tion of our social system that
must come, in the making of more
American homes. War depletes
homes, and we must have more
and more children, with their
blessed responsibilities and end
less happiness.

How Would You Confess Faults?
By Winifred Black

The stingiest man I know is al
ways telling what a mistake he's
made all his life by being too gen.
erous.
He says he's led thousands of
people into wasteful, extraagant
ways just by the force of his ex-
ample.
The most dishonest. shiftiest,
most cunning creature i ever
dealt with in all my unfortunate
life told me the other day that the
one thing he couldn't bear in any
one was dishonesty.
He said if he ever caught a
child Of his telling a lie he'd put
that child straight into an or
phan asylum to save the child's
life.
He said he'd be afraid to trust
himself in the same room with
him.
No. l don't think he was say
ing this to make an impression. /
think he really believed it.
What a strange little god of self
love there is hidden in the hearts
OF every one of US!
We do love to believe In our
selves, and to approve of our
selves, and to admire ourselves. I've
seen a murderer on the way to
the scaffold stop and give his mus
tache an extra twirl in the hope
that some woman might see him
on his path from his cell to death.
| have seen a woman dying in a
hovel cling to some ridiculous
little trinket and show 1t to you to
prove that before she took to drink
and forgot everything that was
decent and honest in the world she
was lust as good as anybody"
still stands thine ancient sacrifice
A humble and a contrite heart"
How few of us there are who
know how to make that sacrifice.
