For the Lover Of Flowers.

Early Towering double tulips are
splendid when grown in bowls of fibre.
Set the bulbs away in the dark after
they are planted, Until the bowls are
well filled with roots. The~fibre must
be kept damp from the time the bulbs
are planted, until after they flower.
The bowls must not have a drainage
hole ut the bottom, as flower pots do.
The bowls hold. considerable water,
and until the foliage Is well out, usually
watering is required only about twice a
week. Begin planning where the tulips,
.hyacinths, crocus and daffodiis are to
be, pla.ited and have arranged. The
bulbs must be set out this autumn for
next springs flowers. Very few, IL any
ether plants give such a yield of now.
crs for SO many years as peony and iris
and With SO little trouble. Be sure to
.have a few Of each in the garden. Set
out this autumn they will get good
start early next spring.

chances that the Washingtonian will have the salts

In the year ended December 81 1913, Thrift stamps
and War Savings stamps were sold to amount Of
81, ,O15,O67, ALSO.
The AVERAGE amount for every one in the United
States was 1864.
That is the total of patriotic thrift when divided
among all, from the Millionaire down to the newsboy

from the streets.
In the VOTELESS District of Columbia the AVERAGE
was 1888.

The Government Should See
That Coal Prices Are
Reasonable

recent dispatch says that the Jermyn coal mine in
Pennsylvania employing 5000 men, has been shut down
of the decreasing demand for coal due to the
tionally mild winter.
Atthe time that the coal mines being shut down
and the miners thrown of employment because coal
has been mined than the dealers prepared buy the
price of coal to is everywhere
in those cities in which it is still being advanced
We do not know who is responsible for this condition
affairs but do know that it is nothing less than
robbery to make the public and particularly the poorer
people, pay exorbtant prices for coal WHEN THERE is
so MUCH COAL ON HAND THAT THE MINES CANNOT
AFFORD TO KEEP THEIR MEN AT WORK
The high price of COAL were told was due to the
fact of the Governments necessities and for that
everybody took the matter cheerfully
But no such as that will be accepted
The Governments military necessities are not pressing
The nation is in danger.
There plenty of cars to carry coal freight
And there in the world why the retail price
Of coal should not be what before the necessities of
war time increased it.
The Government during the emergency period of the
found quite easy to control the distribution and the
selling price of COAL Now that the emergency of the war
is over and the emergency of the people who need coal
present why the Government cannot find
way to give the people fuel at price within

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

ITO determine whether love is
genuine or counterfeit,
there is a simple test that
everyone may apply-its name is
unselfshness.
Which do you desire more, the
thing that is best for your beloved
or your own selfish happiness?
Are you willing to pursue rapture
at the cost Of your beloved's peace
of mind, sworn obligations, life
itself-if you are, don't for a mo-
ment imagine yourself in love.
You are merely pursuing your
happiness, without counting the
cost to any one else. You are a
love Bolsheviki who tears down
for the primitive impulse of de-
, struction.
And do not imagine, that love
built on any such foundation is
going to last. Next year or the
year after next, at most, is likely
to see you in the throes of SINH
lar emotional convulsion, with the
sole difference that another figure
occupies the foreground.
"TO Love Better Than Life ITSELF"
have letters from people daily,
who imagine they are deeply in
love, when their grand opera emo
tions are nothing more than malig-
nant selfshness. It's a case of
wanting what they want when
they want it" and they propose
to have it at the expense of every
one involved-even the one they
claim to love better than life"
Such a letter came to me the
other day from a girl who has
become entangled in an unhappy
love affair. The man in the case
was older and had obligations in
regard to which he was making
every effort to be loyal. But the
girl persisted in writing to him,
calling him up on the phone,
making occasions to meet him,
when he was honestly trying to
forget her-and when the strain
of the whole thing was telling
cruelty on his health.
She explained the headlong
pursuit of her victim by saying:
II love him more than life it.
SELF" while love, real love. that
is, was conspicuously absent
from the entire affair. She was
indulging a morbidly selfish pas
sion at the expense of everyone
tho man especially.
4 Girl as a ''Theater Ticket"
Then there is the man who ere
serves" a place in a girls af-
fections without definitely max
ing up his mind whether or not
he will eventually claim it. The
whole procedure has the cool,
businesslikc quality of having a

ward her devotion by marriage.
II he decides to marry, she may
be the favored one, If he can af-
ford it. Or, if he is relieved Of
certain obligations, that he now
has to consider, but prudence
councils him not to commit him
self.
Carefully Barricades Himself.
And after a long account Of the
various forms Of caution behind
which he has barFicaded himself
being Guly careful never to men
tion marriage, never to give any
thing but perishable presents, not
to raise hopes by making love-
such a young man has the eff
frontery to tell me, in confidence,
he "cares deeply about the girl"
From such love as this, good
Lord deliver us!" any girl would
be justified in adding to her pray
ers nightly.
A girl Of intelligence and char
acter will quickly take a situation
of this kind in hand and admins
ter it for the benefit and education
Of such a young man. For men are,
after all, what we women make Of
hem-and if mothers water and
conserve the selfshness that is
innate in all Of Us, it is up to the
future wife to uproot it if she
values her happiness.
She will make IL plain that she
declines to regard herself as a
provisional ticket" and she should
refuse to seclude herself on any
such terms. The young man will,
in fact, have to take his chances
with such a situation and IL she
gets him to understand the true
Turklshness Of such a situation,
she is doing valuable missionary
work.
During the early spring time
years, nature has a way Of making
boys and girls fall in love with
each other at random. And the
wholesome and natural thing is to
have this association as free as
possible and to postpone pairing
on" until love makes this newt
able.
Acid Test Of Love, UnseIfishness.
It is a dangerous matter to Sc
lect ones life partner before one
has had q chance to compare and
select. Such love on the part OF
young people lacks foundation, it
has no structure to weather the
storm and stress Of life, let alone
the daily grind, which, on the
whole, requires more heroism.
II you are sure that you are
passing through "the great love
Of your lifs"-spply unselfishness,
that is the acid test

ticket laid aside for the opera or
theater. It may be called for or
it may not, dependent on circum-
stances.
The young man may meet some
one whose society he would pre-
fer to the opera or the theater,
and he lets the ticket go by de-
fault.

young men write to me continu-
ally, "but l have resolutely kept
The Washington times., 1919-02-21

from saying anything about mar
riage. Do you think 1 am
right?"
And l hasten to assure such
correspondents, with all the
vehemence at my command, that
their conduct is absolutely sell
fish. A girl is entitled to a little
more consideration than a theater
ticket. Why should she spend
years of precious youth at the
beck and call of a man who may,
or may not, have in mind to re-

voteless citizens and the rottsnest

Is there nothing that can Be done
to secure decent service in this eity7
Last night my neighbor waited

fore I reached this point on .

evening before q neighbor counted
sixteen passing cars before q Sol

and when We arrive at this Junction
point are made 70 get out and wait
for another car while this eaR
switches back and refuses 70 com

Meantime five or six cars come to this
