Private Grief

I cannot weep for others
woes, or sympathize with those
who wall; | have new shoes
that hurt my toes, and outside
griefs seem cheap and stale.
The hungry Huns are needing
bread; do not heed them when
they call; I shrek and groan at
every tread--I have new shoes
which are too small. You point
to Kaiser Bill and say, There
is the man who cornered grief ;
he's whacking sawlogs by the
day. who once was Prussia's
naughty chief" He has some
reason for the blues, this outcast
! whom the whole world scorns
but he is wearing large loose
shoes, which do not chafe his
kingly corns. How bravely l
would stand the gaff, if | were
there, in Bills retreat; I'd lose
a crown and throne and laugh,
if | had shoes that fit my feet.
They tell sad tales of Europe
wrecked, of cities RACED by van
dal blows; these tales would
move me, | expect. if could but
forget toes. No tales can anger
or amuse, l see no point in
aught you tell; there's nothing
counts but feet and shoes, in
this sad world wherein we dwell.
| can't admire the dewey rose,
or hear with JOY the nightingale
for | have shoes which hurt my
toes-all other things seem fiat
and stale. WALT MASON.

PLANS TO INCORPORATE

Central Committee of Fifty May
Adopt Suggestion of Sec
rotary Williams.

incorporation of the central com.
mittee of fifty. which has the plan:
for state exhibits here in hand. may
he determined upon. This was advo'
Gated by Nathan b. Williams, secre-
tary of the committee, at a meeting
held at the New Willard Hotel las,
night.
The idea of Incorporation under the
laws of the District better to carry
series of state exhibition buildings in
the National Capital seemed to meet
with the favor of members of the
committee generally.
The plan of Incorporation is to be
reported upon by special subcom-
mittee, authorized last week, which
will be appointed within a few days
by Robert n. Harper. chairman of the
central committee of fifty. who pre-
sided. The subcommittee is to study
and report upon the scope and meth
DDS of the central organization.
1t was decided that exact definition
of the scope of the organization is
needed, that the committee may work
tremendously with committees being
appointed in the states. Frank NJ. Low
advocated careful organization of the
committee here to Cooperate with the
state committees, and favored limita-
ton of the work of the Washington
committee to such matters as pro-
motion of the general plan, it's pub
LEFTY and legislation in Congress.
Discussion of details, such as archi-
tectural plans, ETC., was deemed I'M
wise at this time. and it was for this
reason that the subcommittee was ap-
pointed to report on the scope of the
central committee and upon the ques-
fiOu of ipcOrOOrafiOn.
1t is felt by the central committee
that one of the most immediate aims
must be to push the plan throughout
the states, and educate the country
to the desirability and need of the
states exhibit here. John Barrett
recommended, at the meeting last
night need of intelligent work
through the state committees upon
the legislatures to bring about the
right atmosphere in the states to fur
Their the plans.
Snowden B. Ashford reported that
the Washington Chapter of the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects is in favor
of the plan and will cooperate with
the committee. Mr.. Ashford reported
that action has been taken by the
architects looking to the formation of
a committee of 100, two members from
leach of the fifty chapters, to work
upon the plans in the states.
