Senator Sherman as Chairman of
the Senate District Committee
By EARL WIN.

The news that Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman OF Hll-
nols may be the next chairman of the Senate Committee
the District of Columbia viii be received with mingled feel
ings In the VOTELESS National Capital
Coming as it did upon the heels of his unwarranted
attack upon the people Of the city of Washington, posi-
bly, foreshadows of retrogressiOn for Washington
rather than period of advance
However, am sure that Senator Sherman will bring
into play that equity of mind for which he is famous In
Illinois, and Fin search diligently into all the ehnks and
cranne of the voteess Capital to find out whether not
the people of this city really crooks and pirates; and
when he has found out that they not he WILL doubt
open his heart and say to US:
Really now, didn't all those rough things
said about you in January 1919 You know how it is.
WHEN fellow is talking for the galleries he has to
violence
The best thing Senator Sherman do is to pre-
pare himself plan to give the District of Columbia repre-
sentaton in Congress and right to make its laws.
He should learn that Congressional rule in Washington
too clumsy. Congress has time to turn itself into
board of municipal aldermen The fact that may have
close schools for lack of teachers directly trace
able the small salaries provided by Congress The under
manned police department is another result If Senator
Sherman will direct his attention to matters of this sort
and will act them with the force he used In attack
ing possiby because of small dckering in some
transaction in which he feels overcharged that
he will find fertile territory In which to exercise his egsa
tive wisdom.

she won't find him until she is
thirty-five. And she ought to be
able to get her mind on something

that any period Of life, but youth
in particular, should ever be al

waiting for destiny to make up its

There is much to be said in favor
of early marriages. And perhaps
just as much may be said in praise
of late ones. Probably there isn't
any right age" or best age" for a
women to marry. The sensible girl
of today knows this and engages

is nineteen.

Girls had to watch the calendar

But ours is a different time, and
in this respect, at least, a better
one.
There is no reason whatever
why a girl should fancy nowadays
that she is obliged to marry mere

Every girl of the present gen
Grafton ought to understand that
marriage will be. a mistake, and
sometimes it can prove a pretty
grave one, unless she meets "the

- and unmarried.
Suppose you are even older.
Are you looking at your life,
with its thrilling, rainbow pOssibil-
tiles, it's unfailing everyday op-
portunities as a rational woman
should, or are you a victim Of that
panic that / am sorry to say often
besets foolish young women who
believe that if they are not safely
married by the time they've reach
ed a certain birthday, life becomes
a tragedy?
There are girls who do believe
this. And l have been astonished
to find that in our emancipated
day there are so many of them.
These unfortunate girls grew up
with the belief that though a wom-
an may pretend to be interested in
her education, her friends, her ca
reer or occupation, her only real
absorption is in getting married. "
The idea was, though they didn't
always put it TO themselves so
baldIy, that a woman's only real
Job is to find a husband, and that
she can do this successfully only
when she is yOung-very young
So, with one eye on the calendar
OF their years, and the other on
that door through which the pos
sible husband may at any moment
enter, they-wait
But things go wrong. The pos
sible husband doesn't come to the

there are misunderstanding,

Old MaidenhOOd Arrives.
So the day comes-the day of

believe themselves face to face
with spinsterhOod. Hope has de-
serted them. They are going TO
be "old maids" The future is a
nightmare. Twenty-five-or even
thirty. as the case may be-and
life is a shameful failure!
Don't you see how mistaken and
foolish it all sounds? Don't you
regret, for your own part, ever
having yielded to any such belief
in the slightest degree? Can't you
brace yourself, from now on, to
resist age-panic?
You see, it's all a miserable in
heritance, passed down through
countless generations of women.
By an inheritance / mean an in
herited way of looking at things.
For there was a very long pc
riod when women had to marry
it didn't so much matter whom

they failed only through being in

Beatrice Fairfax Writes of the Problems Pitfalls of the War Workers
Especially for Washington Women

that the perfect lover may never
present himself at all. Well, there
are other careers than marriage,
she tells herself. Often happy and
glorious ones.
She knows that she ought to
concern herself with other things
than those imaginary twin horrors
OF age and spinsterhood.
She knows that married or sin
gle; her life won't have any real
meaning unless she begins early
to make the most Of herself, to
make-a real person out of herself,
to develop her intelligence and her
character and any gifts or talents
she may have. She wants to count
in the world, whether she spends
her life as a stcnographer or a
teacher, or as the busy mother Of
a big family of children.
Many girls of today have the
feeling, a natural, wholesome feel
ing, it seems to me-that they pre-
fer not to marry until they have
tried themselves out, so to speak,
in the world of real activities, un-
til they have been actual doers
and wage-earners. They will be
wiser women for the experience.
The Modern Marriage.
Others go still further-and
this, | think is a wholesome feel
ing, too. They are unwilling to
become passive and nOnproductivs.
just because they are married.
They want to keep on being useful,
having a part in things, and earn
ing a wage. A girl who has this
point Of view doesn't regard "get-
ting married" as the supreme tri-
umphant achievement of life. 1t
never occurs to her that it matters
greatly whether she marries at
twenty or thirty: but when she
does marry she knows that it mat
ters whether her marriage is of
the right sort
Just as she has tried to make
herself a healthy, intelligent wOm-
an, useful to the world, 50 she ex-
poets that the man she marries
will have done the same. What
ever her age may be when she
marries and she understands
what a trifiing point that is-she
insists that the marriage be a right
and reasonable one.
She longs, of course, to be deep
ly and romantically in love, and to
be beloved in the same fashion,
but she demands to know who it
really is that she is in love with.
She thinks it is her privilege to be
able to admire her husband with
out any reservation. She wishes
hers to be a marriage OF comrades
and equals, fellOw-servers of the
world.
Don't you think this is the right
idea?
Why not make it yours. and give
up worrying about birthdays?
