THE PEOPLE of WASHINGTON It's so easy to make
wholesale charges, and fine lawyer like Senator Kenyon
knows the best methods of getting the exact facts
There is papable truth than that the bulk of
Washington property owners have not been exorban in
their rent increases. Many home still renting

them from the beginning
To the everlasting credit of Washington business and

So all Washington should not be condemned for the
acts of comparatively small number of the population
There is not much danger that important executive depart

have received a large number OF
Communications lately from married
people who want advice on how to
get along with husbands or wives.
Many Of these l have answered
personally. Others have been an
swered through this column. Some
have been referred to the Marriage
Editor, who Is in charge of the fea-
ture, "Is Marriage a Success? on the
Magazine Page Of The Times.
There is q dandy lot of common
sense and a lot of helpful suGges-
tions in that feature, and l advise
all the readers OF this column to
turn to the Magazine Page and OBJ
tain the experiences of others.
Many OF the letters reflect op-
timism Of the highest degree; others
are quite obviously the products Of
selfish, narrow natures. One cannot
read them without commenting in
wardly on the types of people who
write them.
What joys and sorrows are set
forth In these intensely human
documentsl What JOY radiates from
those who have met their right
mates in life and who are leading
normal, happy, healthy lives! Their
letters are an inspiration to others
to follow their precepts.
To me they are unusually refresh
ing. Apparently no one writes to
me except when in trouble, or when
facing serious problems. 1t Is joy
Gus to find persons who are living
peacefully and quietly observing the
rules and laws OF God and man.
And the poor deluded persons who.
because they have failed, believe
that marriage, as an institution, is
a failure! They, too, should read
the stories Of the optimistic and
learn the secrets of oontentedness.

EARLY MOVING PICTURES.

JAMES KEATING finds that the
building at 1903 Wisconsin avenue,
Georgetown, was occupied by one of
the first moving picture theaters in
Washington. The proprietor was
named SPEEKER, and, besides sell
ing and collecting tickets, was also
the machine operator. Part of the
program consisted of illustrated
songs, with solos by the proprietor.
A phonograph was used to attract
attention to the show. Admission
was 5 cents. In, Forrest Hall, Wis
consin avenue, between M street and
Prospect avenue, were photo-play
studios.
There has been frequently con-
troversy in the District as 10 the
first moving picture theater in the
city. The Georgetown folks claim
that their section was a pioneer in
the industry in the District.

The rally was opened by Chairman
Will Keller, who introduced Edward
Wasmuth, Republican State Chairman.
Warren T. McCray, candidate for gov
ernor, made the first address of the
evening, declaring himself to be in
favor of a sane, business-like admin
stration of the state, modification of the
tax law, increased pay for school teach
ers, the budget system, modified pri-
mary laws, woman suffrage, and good
roads.
James w. Fesler, the second speak

school teachers, and an efficient, eco

the State of Indiana.
Edward C. Toner, of Anderson, third
speaker, criticized the platforms Of the
ether men. He advocated a wider
scope of work for the state board Of
agriculture than the direction of the

Mr.. Toner advocated better housing
conditions for wage-earners, support OF
the public school system, better work
ing conditions for working men and
said that the state should find a way
to help wage-earners to own their own
bones. His speech was most popular
of the three.

What's In a Name
ALIN e

AEINE
OF curious Teutonic origin is Aline
1t signifies noble" and belongs to
the great cycle of names evolved from
the prefix, Aethe Abel or Abel, which
mean high-born or noble. Athalaric.
the conqueror of Rome, was a fore
runner of the feminine Aline. Since
he was often known as Alaric, the
process of evolution is more easily
discernible
Early in the ninth century, the fem
mime name of Adolphine was coined i'll
Germany and brought to England.
Though it was soon contra cted to Do
fne-a name still common in Germany
the original name remained long
enough to become the predecessor of
Aline, through slurring the conson-
ants. One of the daughters of Wal
theof, Earl of Northumbria, was so
called and it is believed that her
christening set the fashion for the
barbarous names which made their
appearance in England about that
time.
Aline bears no connection with Eli
enn, which is the Irish version of
Eleanor, nor with Aileen, which is an.
other form of the same name, though
the similarity in pronunciation is strik.
ing. Aline, however. is more popular
this country than either of the other
two.
Aline's talismanic gem is the ruby

success. Tuesday is her lucky day

My last recollection of the hand
some Paris was of being serenaded
by him to the accompaniment OF

distinguished man there outside or
Jack, of course. Then he begged me

Jack came up IN time to save me from

Senator Harding confined his ad-

He charged that President Wilson bar

that they are carrying a tax burden
