IF WERE SENDING MY BOY
AFFAIR.
If were sending my boy afar
To live and labor where strangers
are,
should hold him close till the time
TO go
Telling him things which he ought
10 know;
I should whisper counsel and caution
wise,
limiting Of dangers which might
arise,
And tell him the things I have learn
ed from life
OF It's bitter pain and lis cruel strife
And the sore temptations which men
beset,
And then ada this: boy, don't
forget
When your strength gives out and
your hope grows dim,
Your father will help if you'll come
to him"
II I were sending a boy away,
should hold him close on the part
ing day
And give him my trust. Through
thick and thin.
I should tell him 1 counted on him

INFORMATION WANTED.

Where can a man buy a cap for his
knee,
or key for the lock OF his hair?
Can his eyes be called an academy.
Because there are pupils there?
In the crown OF his head, what gems
are fOund2
Who travels the bridge Of his own
nose?
Can he use when building the roof
of his house,
The nails on the end OF his toes7
Can the crook OF his elbow be sent
TO Jail
II so. what did he do7
How does he sharpen his shoulder
blades?
I'll be hanged II know, do you :
Can he sit in the shade OF the palm
OF his hand?
Or beat tho drum Of his ear?
Does the calf OF his leg eat the corn
on his toes?
II so. why not grow corn on the
ear?

ELECT THESE WOMEN

Those 10 whom partisan victory means more than
the welfare OF the city will probably find merit
in the suggestion that two women be made part
OF the city government.
The men and who. want nothing from
government but the best service will find
reason for placing them in office.
Their election would be a substantial recognition
Of the powerful influence for good which women
are bringing into politics would bring into city
government factor which has been sadly missing.
Mark carefully the appeals for votes OF the heads
OF both tickets-and you viii not find single good
promise which Is made by either which would not
be better kept If these women there to help.
Look into your own minds and you will find
to believe that with them guard and helping.
there will be a greater chance that the pledges for
city betterment will be kept than II they not
there
City politics should have nothing all do
with parties It is unfortunate that the two sets
OF candidates bear the names OF the parties which
fix definitely the national and state policies.
Believing in a League OF Nations will make
either a good bad mayor councilman or
clerk. Devotion TO n theory OF protective tariff
adds nothing to candidates fitness for city po-
ston. And neither will either Of these theories
take anything away from a candidates ability for
a city office.
City government IS a business affair and some
day elections office without refer
ence 20 political parties.
The division will come along lines OF city needs
and the city welfare and the candidates will stand
on their fitness for jobs on their theories of
government.
would be quite logical pick ticket
division to the Eppstein theory OF relatively to
choose a basis of national Iolicies-unless
the person who goes into office frankly confesses
that your office is to used for the furtherance
OF some selfish political end.
The selection OF Miss Monroe for city clerk, and
or Mrs KreighbaUm for counclwoman from the
First ward. will bring forces into government,
some standards. perhaps but better standards.
and will notice that this city is in step with
the nation in it's recognition OF citizens.

TO win,
To keep his word at whatever cost,
To play the man though his fight be
lost.
But beyond all that I should whisper
low:
IF trouble comes, let your father
know;
Come TO him, son, as you used TO do
When you were little-he'u see YOU
through.
/ am trusting you in a distant land.
You trust your father to understand.
Trust me wherever you chance to
be,
Know there is nothing to hide from
me,
Tell me 1t all your tale Of woe,
The sting Of failure that hurts you
so.
Never, whatever your plight may be,
Think it something to hide from me;
Come TO me first in your hour of
need
Come though you know that my
heart will bleed!
Boy when the shadows OF trouble
fall,
Come to your father first of all"

WHAT'S THIS?

There are no beautiful women in the United
States.
Such is the bold declaration Of DIR. Frederick
Starr noted anthropologiist and professor at the
University of Chicago.
We are a mongreI race. says this professor so
mixed and mingled that beauty has no part in our
makeup
All Of which will be to American and
to the of other nations who have gone along
in the blissful ignorance that those to whom they
have given devotion. to whom they have dedicated
roems and for whom they have written sonnets
indeed ugly.
1t is such terrible awakening for when Amer
lean men reach that state of knowledge which per-
mits them to agree with the professor. they
realize that they, their fathers and their grand
fathers have been fooled all this time.
What constitutes beauty in a woman and what
standard did the professor apply?
Compared the statue OF Venus. there thou
sands of American women who match her in form
and face. devating not whit from that marbelled
classic which has stood for ages as the model OF
all beauty
Turn to the great art galleries and the por-
traits of queens and courtesans, actresses and
northumberland upon every American
will be found a duplicate for each and every ideal
II the past.
81 of which may be more or less unimportant
for the general of mankind has been content TO
sing with the poet:
IF be fair me. what how fair
she be?"

Walls FROM THE EDITOR.

Getting up a daily column is no
picnic. II we print jokes, folks say
we are silly-if we don't they say
we are too serious. If we publish
original matter, they say we lack
variety-if we publish things from
other papers, they say we are too
lazy to write. II we don't go TO
church, we are heathens-if we go.
we are hypocrites. If we stay IN
the office, we ought 70 be out rust
ling for news-if we rustic for news,
we are not attending to business in
the office. If we wear old clothes,
we are slovens-if we wear new
clohtes, they are not paid for. What
in thunder is a poor editor TO do
anyhow? Like as not, someone will
say we swiped this from an ex-
change. So we did.

Bootleg Booze

He bought half pint in "a
wynd where bootleg booze is
dear, . he looked before, he
looked behind, to see no cops
were near; then took his drink
it made him blind, and he's
been blind year. He was a
large and stately man, an ath-
lete, trim and strong, built up
along the Milo plan, no pistons
hitting wrong; and now a sight
less also ran, he tolls and gropes
along. He really didn't care for
drink, he had no costly thirst ;
but he was aye a naughty gir1k,
his motto, "Freedom First; he
said, "I'll sip the scarlet ink,
though all the statutes burst.
My fathers fought at Bunker
Hill that people might be free,
and no outrageous Volstead bill
can come and hogtie me; so
marx my curves ana WdtCn me
swill a bowl of graveyard tea"
He poured the deadly bitters
down, and then fell, on the floor,
and had a fit, and rent his gown,
and his long whiskers tore; and
though he hobbies through our
town, he'll see it never more.
The bootleg merchants boost
the tomb, and for the death-cart
root; they kill the young men in
their bloom, and do not care a
hoot; the stuff they sell is liquid
doom, distilled from Dead Sea
fruit. It's made and sold by
reckless knaves, this substitute
for rye its victims fill ten thou
sand graves, and hundreds daily
die, and over them the willow
waves, the sexton heaves a
sigh. WALT MASON.

Inclusion of Washington public

members of the District Education
Association at a meeting yesterday
afternoon, in the Thomson School.

of the measure. feeling that they
have a better chance for advance
ment otherwise.
The sentiment of the teachers at
the meeting was in favor of framing
special legislation to fix teachers
salaries and not include them among
government employes-the preserva-
ton of the professional status of
teachers in the ground on which they
have taken this stand.
DR.. William c. Ruediger. dean of
the teachers college of George Wash
ington University. was reelected
president of the association for the
ensuing year. Other officers chosen
are:
Miss Mary Lackey. principal of the

AMUSEM IS
Sparkes-0lshansky Recital.

The third concert of the Ten Star
Series was given yesterday after
noon in the National Theater by
Metropolitan Opera Company, and
Bernardo OIshansky. Russian bari
tone. in joint recital. with Miss
Louise Lender at the piano.
The artists opened the program
with the charming duo from MoZarts
Don Giovanni" La ci Darem Ia
Mano.' which they gave without the
printed notes and which added much
to the effect of the singing. The re-
mainder of the program, in the main.
was collection of unhackneyed and
interesting songs in French, Italian,
Russian and English.
Miss Sparkes' high. clear voice was
heard in the aria from Mozart's Mar
riaGe of Figaro" "Voi che Sapete";
Wolf-Ferraris beautiful song. "Quan-
do ii Vidi"; Santuzza:s7 great aria
from Mascagni's "Cavalleria Rus
ticana"; Rabey's lovely song. Ties
Arbles." and Wekerlin's "Serenade." :"
and for her last group three English
songs. "Over the Mountains" (Old
English, 1862. arranged by Quilter.
and two songs by Hageman, "Do Not
Go, My Love-" and "At the Well"
MISS SpdTkeS pest "OTh was III tHe
aria of Santuzza, which she gave
with fine dramatic effect: "Tes Yeux."
charmingly sung and which she gra-
Ciously repeated in response to en-
thusiasm. and DO Not Go. My Love-"
which was especially well done as
to tone quality in the high notes.
She sang two encores. Songs My
Mother Taught Me-" and Musetta's
valse song from La Boheme."
Mr.. Olshansky, who made a pro-
nounced success on his former ap-
unusual and lovely songs. the only
operate number being the air from
Massanet's "Werther." The others
were Giuck's "Spiagge Amate": Fall
conieri's "Begli Occhi Lucent" sung
in Italian: Pierne's lie Moulin" and
Ialadilhe's lie Charbonnier." sung
in French; Rachmaninoff's 20 Met
Moliu ne Ochode." sung in Russian.
and three English songs, Nevin's
exquisite "In the Falling Snow,"
which created the greatest enthu-
siasm. and which he was obliged to
repeat, and kramer's Now Like a
Lantern" Although Mr.. Olshansky's
fortissimo tones were not as uni
formly good as on his former appear
ances. his style and diction were de-
lightful. and he was paid the re-
markable compliment of being
brought back three times after his
last song: He sang for these recalls
Nutile. and quaint and, charming
Rumanian folk-song. He also sang
Torn a Surreinto." by de Curtis, as
an encore after his French songs.
He has a finished style and his mezzo
voce is beautiful.

CITIZENS FURTHER
APPROVE GESSFORD
Central Association Passes
Resolution Lauding Admin
istration of Police Chief.

Unanimous approval of Maj. Cess
ford's administration of police affairs
and complete confidence in the su-
perintendents ability to continue in
his position at the head of the Dis
trict of Columbia police department
were voted last night by the Central
Citizens Association at a meeting in
the Juvenile Court room, I'd and l
streets northwest.
The resolution embodying the ex-
preston of approval and confidence
was introduced by Francis DeSaies
Ryan and was seconded by several
members of the association. In the
discussion preceding action on the
measure it was pointed out that Maj.
Gessford had risen from the ranks
through his undoubted capabllity as
a police executive and that 1t would
be prejudicial to the welfare of the
city of Washington to remove man
who has proved himself as efficient
as Maj. Gessford.
General Increase In Crime.
Several members admitted that there
may have been an increase in crime
during the administration of the
present chief of police. but empha-
sized the point that this wave or
criminality had not been confined to
Washington alone. and was attributa-
BILE to postwar conditions and the
general unrest among peoples. MAJ.
Gessford happened to be holding ONCE
in this period. it was explained. ana
was required to bear the extra bur-
den. He has met the responsibility IN
a commendable manner, 1t was de-
clared.
John McMahon. first vice president,
who presided in the absence of the
president, Thomas J. Donovan. added
that Maj GeSSford had been further
handicapped by police force made
quate in numbers. due to the low
, salaries prevailing in the local police
department.
Repaving Needed.
Needed repaving of several cobbled
streets in the territory of the associa-
tion and number of brick sidewalks.
described as menace to safety. Will
be sought by the organization through
it's streets and sidewalks committee.
First street between Indiana avenue
and street northwest. was cited as
a glaring example of dangerous road
way, and the suggestion was made
that the District Commissioners be
invited to ride in their automobiles
over this and other bad portions of
streets in the community.
The executive committee was au-
thOriZed to make arrangements to
hold special entertainment as a
means of stimulating interest in the
association for the purpose of in
creasing membership. Twenty new
members were admitted last night.
