Here's Some Exercise for Your
Imagination

Henry Ward Beecher said
that a soul without magma
ton was like an observatory
without a telescope.
We all have imagination,
as we all have speech and
memory.
But either of these facul-
ties, uneXercised, unused, will
lose its strength like the un-
used muscles Of our bodies.
There are scores of cases
where prisoners confined in
solitary dungeons have for
gotten how to talk.
Nine. Breshkovskaia, the
Little Mother of Russia, who
has just left this country to
go back to her native land,
forgot entirely how to speak
during her long years of ST.
berian exile, but regained her
speech when she was set at
liberty.
Many persons say, my
memory is falling" It is just
another way of saying, 'I do
not exercise my memory" for
no memory, unless it be in old
age, ever lessons in power if
it is properly used
Imagination is just as ca
pable of training as speech
and just as susceptible of
development as memory.
You hear a little child say,
Lets play you are a bear. |"
That is pure imagination. If
her mind and hand should be
trained, she could make a
picture of the bear she mag
ines.

Find Jobs for Discharged
Service Men
By BILL PRICE.
There Are Many Seeking Employment In This City and Prompt
Steps For Aid Should Be given.

Six District boys discharged from the military naval
service of the United States brought direct evidence to this
writer In the last few hours that there many service
walking the streets of Washington hunting employment
Facts multiply that these merely representatives
of large number of unemployed and women in this
city There hundreds of former soldiers here whose
homes in other cities They had hoped to find positions
and take advantage of the splendid educational advantages
of this city for advancement They are Disappointed many
are disseminated and openly declaring that they not
being treated right by Congress Government departments
have taken this subject up with the employment
agency of the Department of Labor at 140 Pennsylvania
avenue and officials admit that positions few They
are doing the best they can.
Then have laid the situation before Lieutenant H0R-
TON and Colonel FOSTER, representing the War Depart
ments bureau for placing discharged service In posi-
tons. The local office is in Room II of the Council Of
Defense Building Eighteenth and streets These officials
admit that bad situation exists.
Both of these Government organizations state that
Washington is in position almost alone that unempoy-
ment here complicated by the presence of discharged
from all portions of the country who want jobs preferably
in the Government services that hundreds of temporary
employees being laid OF by the Government that there
is surplus of men.
This results in District boys who have returned home
finding themselves without work There may be jobs else
where as Col. ARTHUR WOODS War Department bureau
says but the local boys feel that they should not be dis
placed by strangers.
Co-ordinating with Colonel WOODS bureau are the
various welfare organizations that watched out for the
welfare Of soldiers in the is stated Thousands Of
people working for service everywhere and
succeeding
The truth of these things is granted but there is
situation in Washington that must be remeded in
manner and quickly too Washington employers list
their opportunities at with of the Government
agencies and they must do all they to put District boys
at work. and at fair salaries, too Everybodys help is
needed
Many complaints are on my desk of soldiers forced to
accept their former positions at salaries higher than
before the The hope is that many of them well
founded.

TODAY'S TOPIC
WHAT THEY READ IN THE PAPERS

figures correctly, that were held
up to Stabilize" the market.
Nor have they enjoyed reading
the testimony of General Peyton
c. March, chief of staff of the
army, that one and one-half mil
lion pounds of surplus ham and
bacon were allowed to spoil in
warehouses through failure of the
quartermaster to facilitate their
sale to the public.
They Recall the Price Products.
Reading about that million and
a half pounds of bacon they recall
what they have been paying for
ham and bacon when they could
afford to eat it at all. These are
hard truths for patriotic house
wives to face smilingly along with
the grueling economies to which
they have been submitted.
In fact, there ought to be a
good deal of "ear-burEing" on the
part of packers, Gamers and Off
Gals these days. The women may
lack the necessary logic to see why
millions of dollars worth of
canned goods had to be held back,
by official sanction, to Stabilize"
the market, but they do not lack

n ATRIoTIC women all over
the country hope the distri-
= button of surplus army
food, in Washington last week,
marks the beginning of a clearer
understanding between house
wives and officials.
The average housewife can read
and she does read the papers. Of
late years she does not stop at the
death notices, the society news
and how to turn stale sponge cake
into charlotte russe-though the
majority of men haven't discov-
cred this yet
Probably every woman who has
been through the fifth grade of
the public schools read every word
of the Federal Trade Commits
sion's report regarding the pack
ing and canning industries, as set
forth in part one to President
Wilson on the extent and growth
of power of the five packers in
meat and other industries"
You hear women discussing it
everywhere, even the most frivol-
Gus women whom you did not
credit with an idea above choco-
late fudge and the latest movie.
You hear them talking about it in
department store elevators, on
street cars, on excursion boats. and
the things they say ought to be of
vital interest to two classes of men
officials and food purveyors.
Feel Their Interests Have Been
Neglected.
Housewives feel that their in
terests have not been looked after
over well, only they say it stronger
than that. And women are not
the political ciphers they were a
little while back. The women's
vote is going to count in the next
election and count tremendously.
There is no denying the sac
rifce and answering devotion to
patriotic ideals of American
women during the great war. AL
ways creatures of generous i'm
pulse, they outdid themselves dur
ing the great struggle. They
heard themselves branded as ex-
travagant and they determined to
mend their ways. They began by
carrying home their own market
ing taking the money in the
basket and bringing home the pro-
visions in the purse" as the ma
tional joke was at the time.
They planted war gardens, they
canned vegetables, and they cheer
fully went in for voluntary ra-
tioning. They did without meat,
wheat and sugar, they bought
Liberty bonds and thrift stamps.
So they are feeling a little sore
about the amount of canned
goods--about ninety million dol
lars worth, if remember the

eIoquence in expressing them
selves.
And they quote the words Of the
Federal Trade Commission: "a
fair consideration of the course of
the five packers have followed and
the position they have already
reached, must lead to the conclu-
sion that they threaten the free
dom of the market of the country's
food industries and of the by-prod-
uct industries linked Herewith.
The meat packers control of other
foods will not require long in de-
veloping."
1t is so hard for the average
man whether he is an official, a
packer or a canner-many Of the
latter worked disinterestedly for a
dollar a year-to realize the prog
ress of women during the last few
years. They still regard them as
amiable and sometimes angelic
idiots who read the death notices
and the fashion news and have no
knowledge of public affairs be-
yond what some man tells them.

Own Households.

Fairfax Writes Problems Workers
Especially for Washington Women

in the Federal Trade Boards re-
port Of last week realized that
every woman who read that report
grimly applied the deductions to
her own household. This may be
narrow, it may lack the breadth
that men insist is theirs by reason
of greater logic, but they did it
just the same.
wonder why some of the gen.
tlemen-"the big FIVE" for in
stance-and some of the officials
who, it would appear, have seen
their side of the case rather than
that of the housewives, do not re-
peat the experiment of old King
Louis the Eleventh of France.
That eccentric monarch, it will
be remembered, used to disguise
himself and go about taverns and
other resorts by night to hear
what the populace said about him.
1t helped him to form quite q just
estimate of the views of his sub
jects and to pick up a little of
what was going on in his king
dom. Perhaps you may have seen
Mr.. Sothern in "If / Were King"
which gives quite an idea of the
methods of that willy old fox.
Wouldn't that be rather a good
idea for the packers and Gamers
to plagiarize today-not to men
ton some of our officials, too, who
helped to stabilize" the market?
Let them disguise themselves and
go about and hear what people
think and say about them. For,
of course, a pork king welding a
controlling interest in STA COM
panies must experience a good
deal of salaaming-and so must
an official, for that matter. But
the women who read the papers
and who will cast votes at the
next elections are not doing any
salaaming.
Keeping. Body and Soul Together.
On the contrary, they are grim
ly remembering what it has cost
them to keep body and soul to-
gether. They remember the report
of New York city's board of
health that one child in every five
is undernourished. And they are
looking at the children of their
own families who very probably
are not gaining any in weight
France had this same food prob
lem to contend with and France
solved it by publishing an official
food list with the official price
printed after the commodity. At
a glance housewives could tell
what food ought to cost and if it
cost more they had the remedy in
their own hands. Within the last
week we read cables from France
announcing that food profteers
will be liable to capital punish
ment. Well, the women are talk
ing about that, too-in fact the
ladies, bless 'em, read the papers
very thoroughly today.

Now, which one of the pic
lures is of Cappy Kicks, the
hero of Peter B. Kyne's new
story of that famous char
acter?
Which girl is the heroine of
"Tannehil, " by Louis Vance?
This one ought to be easy.
Which one pictures the hero
of Gouverneur NORRIS story,
"Some Boy?"
And which one of them goes
by the name of "Fire1y" in
the story by James Curwood?
Without knowing whether
it is the picture of a man or a

Bathing Beaeh Condltions.

CHARLES L. HALL does not like
some of the conditions at the Tidal
Basin Bathing Beach:
1. Having to stand in line for long
periods before being able to get ad-

2. Favoritism alleged to be shown
friends of the management Of the
beach in slipping them through
ahead OF those in line.
8. No chance to get drinking
water; compelled to buy soft drinks.

of Public Buildings and Grounds,
states that the present bathing
houses are too small, causing the de-
lays complained Of, but says that
appropriations will be available TO
double the capacities of the mems
and women's bathing houses for next
season.
As to favoritism Colonel Ridley
will stop that if he can.
AS to drinking water, there is said
to be a drinking fountain in each
bathing house, city water on tap, and
no ice. The management has not yet

A Plea From Taxi Drivers.

MERRITT ". ABEL, q taxi
driver at the National Hotel, asks
why the laws of Washington do not
protect taxi drivers against patrons
who defraud the drivers?
He says: why does the law offer
no protection to the taxi driver, who
pays taxes and is "a law-abiding
citizen, which he must be? A man
has the privilege of riding in for
hire cars at all times. He can ride
for hours and when he reached his
destination he can get out and re-
fuse to pay his bill, knowing the
law has no hold on him. This Is
not tolerated in other cities. Isn't
it right that law should cover cases
like this? Such a law would de-
crease crimes committed on public
highways.
"When a man goes into a restau-
rant and orders a meal he is nstu-
rally expected to pay his bill. II he
does not, trouble ensues in which
he is arrested on a charge Of dis
orderly conduct. Why should not
the taxi driver be equally well pro-
tected? Some men make q practices
of beating taxi drivers"
