Who Is God, Anyway
BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS

Well, He is Somebody. And He Is
always Somewhere.
And He is nearly always just where
YOU wouldn't be looking for Him. For
He doesn't care at all about acclaim
or worship or honor. His only job is
to help And so He is always found
where there is need.
What does God look like, then-so
that He may be recognized? Well. He
looks different at different times Tho
His Spirit is always the same. Let me
illustrate.
Not long ago, I saw God crossing
Fifth avenue in New York. "a lot
of people believe that God has never
been in New York; A blind man
came up to a crossing and little fell
low. about ten years of age, saw and
hopped>right up. took the arm of the
blind man and led him safely across
the street. That time. God was little
boy! And looked at Him for a long
time.
Then 1 went back TO my office and
worked hard,
l used to know a man in Chicago
who was always doing things for other
down and OUT came to him and he
fed him. and gave him some new,
clean clothes. and got him job. This
| man just gloried in doing such things.
| so L IONeu IlIu very or ne
had done things for me. too. He was
| a tall, kingly looking man, with sill
vered hair. 1 saw God in him that
time.
] 1t is said that God moves in a mys-
| ferrous way, His wonders to perform"
| He does!
| I remember standing beside the bed
of my father, in little western town.
| He had just gone away. So I was
very sad. But at that moment a man
l walked into the house, and without
saying anything, began to sing
have never heard any one sing as he
did. / looked up. and who do you
suppose 1 saw? Well, it was God,
1 have seen God lots of times in the
| flowers, and in the fields, and walk
ing around in the mountains. I have
seen Him in running brooks" and I
, have seen Him in the faces OF the
very poor.
But God doesn't wear any medals.
He simply slips in Snawares-does His
work, and goes HIS way.
| THIS God.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
The Good Fellow Girl.
By DOROTHY DIX
Werld's Highest Paid Woman Writer.


The good fellow girl is efficient.
coats. She knows how to take care of
her own money and drive good bar
gain. She doesn't cry or faint or have
Mysteries when the cook leaves or
somebody gets hurt or a baby swal-
lows a button hook. She gives first
aid to the injured, rolls up her sleeves
and goes into the kitchen and unhooks
and pacifies the infant ard soothes
his perturbed feelings. She is the kind
of a girl that the family call sensible,
and that they turn 20 in every time OF
need
In business the good fellow girl is
the type of girl who gets there be-
cause she tackles her job as a man
does his. She depends on good work
to get her a raise instead of making
eyes at her boss. She isn't looking
out for adventure, nor -yearning for
Hirtations, nor practicing coQuetrles on
every man, from the office boy up, nor
does she expect to stop busy man 10
fix her horried typewriter when it gets
wrong. nor to hunt up things in the
files for her, nor sharpen her lead
pencils. Neither does she expect her
lovely complexion to atone for her
spelling. nor her poutinG lips to be an
excuse for her ledger not balancing.
The good fellow girl realizes that
there is no sex in work, and that men
cut out sentiment in business hours,
and so she mines her own business,
buys her own lunches, doesn't con-
slider herself a martyr because she has
to earn her own living, but works
shoulder 20 shoulder with men so SIM
ply, so helpfully. SO competently, ana
frankly that they forget that she is

Perhaps it is in her mental att;-
tude that tho good fellow girl differs
most from the baby doll girl. The
baby doll girl is a mass of ca mot fla sc
from her drug store complexion to her
two sizes too small shoes, and her pre-
tense that she il fool herself and
believes every man TO be a cooling.
The good fellow girl is all frankness
and honesty.
Her looks are her own, and SO are
her opinions. She expects a man to
expect her to have brains and to use
them. and she would no more wheedle
and flatterf attentions out of him than
she would pick his pocket. The good
fellow girl is not so generally attrac-
tive to men as her more feminine sis
ter. Men like her as a friend. as a
comrade and pal because she does
not expect to be made love TO and

not on their guard against her, and

They regard her with the sort OF
affection they would a most attractive

MY HUSBAND AND |
By JANE PHELPS

We talked lot more nonsense, at
least Neil did. L mostly listened. Then
when ne left me for the night he
leaned owe. and kissed me once again
on my cheek. Just a quick brushing
of his lips across my face.
g cure q dear, Bah" he said, and
then i was alone
But some way 1 knew that Neil was
beginning to love me- felt no shame
over that kiss as had over the other.
Ell had said loving things to me be-
fore he kissed me. I thrilled all over
with the knowledge. and before l went
to bed I kneeled down and thanked
God for Neil.
The days passed SO swiftly that the
day he was to leave, found me all
unprepared to lose him. He had been
tenderly loverlike all the time. I think
mother saw how things were drifting
for she made no demands upon me-
and had been constantly with Neil
He was to take a train about 10 o'clock
that connected with his train at the
junction. We took walk after din
ner. but neither of US talked much
Without either scarcely realizing it.
our steps turned to the wood at the end
OF the village. and we sat down on the
log where Neil had given me his first
kiss. There he told me how dear ]
was to him, and asked me tofbe his
wife. When I said "yes'' he took me
In his arms and told me of his love,
how he had thought he would forget
me. but had been unable to. How SUI
perior I was to all other girls. and all
the other things when lovers say.
Then after a time when the first
sweet emotion of our love had passed,
he said:
Come, dearest We must 70 and
tell your father and mother. 1 fear
they will hate to give you 20 me- be-
cause have TO take you so far from
them
Father and mother weren't nearly
so surprised as 1 thought they would
be. They acted beautifully, and when
Neil said he would like to be married

I'VE shall be very glad to bring
the matter before our local CONNER
ciaI body. We shall be pleased to
present the matter to our congress
men and senators with the hope that
the taxpayers of your District will
receive the consideration they de-
serve"
The question as to the necessity of
a constitutional amendment to secure
suffrage for the District is repeatedly
discussed and DEB ated in the city.
Many of the residents of the 1 istrict
believe that such action would be un-
necessary.
Advocates of the amendment hold
that as the constitution gives con-
gress exclusive jurisdiction over the
tered before the people 6f the District
can share in their own lawmaking.
Opponents of the amendment believe
that the right of exclusive jurisdiction
gives congress the power to bestoW
upon the residents of the city the
rights of citizenship whenever it sees
fit. The consensus of opinion among
the leading business men of the city
seems to be that the amendment
would expedite matters, and it is for
the amendment that they are working.
For the residents OF the District
who do not use letterheads there has
been designed by o. F. Jones of Wash
ington a little Suffrage for the Dis
trict'' sticker, bearing the same ap-
peal as the postscript in the same
words.
Since the stickers appeared. late in
February, over $4,000 of them have
been pasted to letters and packages
going out from the District.

THE GOLD BASIS.

The scare regarding a diminishing
gold supply-brought about thru the
impossibHi'y of longer mining the yell
low metal at profit-like many other
scsres-has disappeared and nobody
is hurt. The special committee conf
missioned y the treasury department
to investigate the gold situation con-
ours with the Britie'' treasury COM
mittee in reporting that no need for
stimulating the production Of gold ex-
lists. The cessation OF hostilities has
changed the situation turnout the
world. and America has ample gold
and credits for all requirements.
These important committees evil
IDENTIFY believe that the danger of in
flation of currency is more serious
than the small gold reserves behind
the currency of European belliger-
euts. America has more gold than lie
needed and additions TO the stock on
hand would tend to raise commodity
prices and increase initiation. The
American committee says: Contrary
1 the belief apparently entertained in
many quarters. tn, structure OF bank
-
time does no; depend very luch, IL at
all, on the amount sold that can be
mar available as a reserve for that
structure. The war being over. there
is now no danger OF n impairment OF
confidence"
Expression of such sentiments
twenty years ago would have reused
a storm of protest from the finanr:ers
1t was held in those days that there
could be no stable currency that was
not backed up by an abundance OF
gold, held in reserve and eadily avail
able. The doctors of finance are much
like the doctors of medicine in the
fact that they are always putting aside
the old theories and adopting the new
And every time they change they are
sure that at last they have attained
the truth.
