Why Can't We Elect Our Board

By BILL PRICE.

There has been speck Of good sense in placing
upon the judges of the Supreme Court of the District the
sponsbty of selecting Board Of Education for this city
Some day. when do get genuine suffrage IN Washington
we will wonder that Congress long delayed comforting
upon District people rights that they have been entitled
to for years.
Here is a community of nearly half million people
which is virtually stamped by the constant attitude of COM
gress not having the intellect to manage its own schools
the wisdom to choose Board of Education to operate
them Under these circumstances the people OF Washing
ton have about much control matters close to
them do the inhabitants of British colony in Africa
probably not much Many political administration has
been turned out Of Office in American cities and towns be-
its of public schools did not suit the
pe who guard zeaousy the education and moral upbrng
ing of their children.
The Board of Education of the District should be d
recty responsible to the people here It's right that all
free Americans elsewhere possess There be other
way OF giving people voice IN the control OF lnstu
tions of such intimate personal interest to them.
The judges of the court have way of determining
whether their appontees the board acceptable to the
public at large The best they do is to be that
an appointee is woman of character and ability
The calendars of that court already two years be-
hind with litigation cogged, all due to the refusal of Con-
gress provide additional judges Then why nct upon
this court duties it has not time to bother With
"Appointing" local officers for free people-whether
the appointments from the White House courts
too much like European monarccal methods before Ame
democracy helped carry its banners everywhere else
than to its own National Capital.
Appointments, whenever made the main reances of
political civic social cques to obtain power and suprem
best interests of the mentally weak people not permitted

Dctaors do not last long when mistakenly selected by

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

have read your answers in The
Times and have something to ask
you myself l wish you would
please publish this letter about
elderly women passing their opinion
about young girls and how they
dress and also the use Of powder
and rouge. would like to have
something to say about the elderly
women that ! have seen all fixed
up so that you cannot tell the
mother from the daughter. Don't
you think they ought to set an ex-
ample for young girls? And as for
men making remarks about girls all
dolled up, why don't they look al
themselves. as I have seen some
of them walking around who ought
to be out at the Zoo with their
canes and spats and their English
mou staches. all gotten up to make
remarks about some other fellows
sister when they ought to criticise
themselves. YOURS TRULY.
The spirit Of the age is that
a woman shall look as young as
she can. If mother can look as
young as her daughter, she must
achieve the result by other things
than artifice. Paint on an elder
" face deceives no one unless,
perhaps, it is the wearer. II,
however, a woman remains young
by good care and good nature, l
am perfectly willing she should
look younger than her daughter,
If she can.

THE VIOLIN QUERY.

The inscription in the violin, which
MR.. CLEMENTS speaks about means,
Made by Antonio Stradivari, In Gre
mona, in the year 1776." but tho real
meaning is that the gourd was prob

others In some German factory some
years ago. AS my authority for this
statement 1 may add that I am .

That violin inscription is the, same
as one in a violin l own, with little
