HardingHost
At Reception
Diplomatic Families VIII
Be Entertained For
mally Today.
By EVELYN c. HUNT.

The social calendar for today rec
ords two formal offieial entertain
ments. the first Of their kind under
the administration of Warren O.
Harding as President; a formal aft
'ernoon reception to be given by
PRESIDENT and Mrs. Harding for the
members of the Diplomatic Corps
and their families and a dinner TO
be given by the French Ambassador
snd Nine. Jusserand in compliment
TO the Secretary of State and Mrs.
Charles Z. Hughes. The Ambassa-
dor and Nine. Jusserand gave a re-
ception last week when Secretary
Hughes was the ranking guest but
the party was not formally In honor
of him and his wife. Mrs. Hughes
did NOS attend but went to New York
that morning.
Today's reception at the White
House will take place at o'clock
In the Blue Room, where Col. Clar-
ence S. Ridley, military aid to the
President, will present the Ambas-
sadors and Ministers to the hosts
while each envoy will in turn pre-
sent his suite. The Marine Band
will play In the big entrance hall
OF the White House and the tea
table laid in the state diningroom.
foDAY-s FUNCTION
A SOCIAL EVENT.
The President received the va
rious diplomatic ENJOYS and men,
bers of their stsff last week cut
not the ladies and their families and
today's function is more of a social
event. the first formal social event
to be given by President and Mrs.
arding and probably the forerunner
of a number of functions to be
given by them during the spring
season. Many of the diplomats will
attend at the White House today
for the first time as a large num-
ber have been assigned to WASH
ington since the last entertainment
was given at the White House.
II was Mrs. Theodore, Roosevelt
who inaugursted the custom of hold
ing afternoon receptions for the
members of the Diplomatic Corps;
and much satisfaction has been ex-
PRESSED that the pleasant practice
Is to be revived. The Importance OF
social intercourse in its relation TO
diplomacy and statecraft is now
fully recognized and the desire to
promote friendly relations between
the White House and the represent
stives of foreign governments find
happy expressions in such events as
the little festivity scheduled for this
afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Harding
was hostess at a tea for the wives
OF the Justices of the United States
Supreme Court at 5 o'clock. Mrs.
Harding received in the Red Room
as was Mrs. Wilson's custom, and
the tea table which was laid before
the south windows was presided
over by Miss Laura j. Harlan, Mrs.
Harding's social secretary. Mrs.
Harding also received a few guests
earlier in the afternoon.

DISPLAY and Crime.

IL would be hard 10 say now much
the Increasing custom Of wearing ex'
pensiye jewelry at all hours and places
and OF displaying fat purses in public
has to do with the increase in crime,
but doubtless 1t is enough to warrant
some checking of these habits.
There was a time, not long ago when
few of the very wealthy
and socially prominent possessed jew.
els of any size or note, and these were
worn, upon state occasions only while
simpler ideas of shopping and enter
tainment made the carrying of large
Gums of ready money unnecessary To
day the possession of costly jewelry Is
almost as common as the ownership
of dishes or furniture, and it is worn
at all hours of the day and nieht, re
gardless of time or fitness. The fat
pur We Is the natural accompaniment of
uch exhibition.
Under the old regime the highway
man had to search for a victim. Today
il Is an even chance that any man or
woman walking along the city street
wi repay attack, while a few minutes
of observation in any crowd will re
veal numberless promising candidates,
The field which heretofore afforded
recompense for only few is now the
happy hunting ground for an ncreas.
ms number OF the criminal minded
A good many excellent people would
be indignant Il told that their innocent
vanity was largely responsible for the
crime increase, but little calm con-
sideration should convince them, since

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM E. BARTON
IN The SPIRIT oE SERVICE.
BY DR..

When the community hires a soldier,
it says to him, "YOur first duty is to
give your very heart and life to the
spirit of patriotic service, and your
country will feed and clothe you, take
care Of you if you are sick and when
you grow old, and bury you decently
when you die; and you are to stand
ready to face danger or death for the
common good"
When the community trains man
to be a physician, it says:
you are to be paid a fee for your
service, but you are not to work for
your fee; you are to be ready to 60
whether by day or night; you are not
to shrink from the personal danger of
Contagion, nor from the exposure Incl
dent to wind and storm; we hope your
fees will yield you a living and per
haps something more, but you are first
of all servant Of the community
When the community trains a teach
er or a minister, it tells him that he
can never be rich, and must take upon
him vows of poverty for the sake of a
great ideal; but that he will probably
be sure of daily bread and a small
retiring fund.
BY what rule of ethics or Of sound
economy is the farmer. or the miner,
or the manufacturer or the merchant
TO assume that he has a right to think
primarily of his own compensation, his
own accommodating.
How can such a man look the soldier
or the doctor or the teacher or the art
list or the minister in the face, and
say:
ct contribute by taxation or volun-
tary contribution to your support, but
you and are on a wholly different
basis, and our lives are to be ordered
by wholly different ideaIs?"
There is no such line of demarcation
between the bricklayer and the school
teacher. between the soldier and the
shoemaker, the minister and the mer-
chant. ,The same rule of service be-
longs to every man and mothers son
of them.
One man is to make brick for the
glory of God and the welfare of the

WIDESPREAD INTEREST
IN STATE FORESTRY

State forestry is on the eve of a re-
markable development if one can judge
from the interest being manifested
throughout the country in various
phases of state forest legislation, says
the American Forestry association of
Washington. Most of the legislatures
are now in session, and in practically
all of the timbered states, forestry bills
already have been or are expected to
be introduced. Thus in the northeast
Maine is considering the regulation of
cutting on private lands through the
establishment of auxiliary state for
ests. The New Hampshire legislature
has before it bills providing for the
leaving of seed trees on pine lands, for
compulsory forest fire patrol and for
the disposal of slashings. Massachu-
sets is planning to continue its pur-
chases of state forests and to acquire
the picturesque Mohawk trail. Con-
necticut is proposing to modify the
present system of forest taxation and
to enlarge the state park commission
into the state park and forest commits
sion.
In the central states, Indiana is en-
deavoring to improve it's present fire
protective system ana 10
timber production through tax eXemp-
ton. The American Forestry associa -
ton points to the south, where Texas
is considering the adoption of a COM
prehensive forest policy with particu-
lar emphasis on fire protection and re-
forestation, and the adoption of a sew
erance tax similar to that already in
force in Louisiana. In the far west,
California has established a state nur-
sery, is cooperating with timberland
owners in slash disposal is planning
greatly increased expenditures for fire
protection and a revision of it's present
system Of forest taxation, and is look
ing forward to the establishment of
state forests.
These are but samples Of the wide
spread interest which the states gen.
orally are manifesting in the protection
and perpetuation of their forest re
sources. 1t is to be hoped that the
movement will bear fruit in the enact
ment of a considerable number of pro-
gressive and effective forestry meas
ures.

who have cut prices and written off
their losses. Those who do not recog-
nize this and act accordingly are Dor
ing holes in their own row-boats.
What happened in the buyers
strike" also happened in railroad bus
mess, according to an idea spreading
among some rail executives.
Passenger business is dead because
rates are so high that people can't af-
ford to travel. Is this also the pre-
dicament of freight traffic? Some rail-
road. executives are beginning to think
so. They are wondering if it wouldn't
be more profitable to move a big traf-
fic at lower rates than little traffic
at high rates.
Just how rates should be reduced,
is a separate question. The above ideas
merely are offered as part of the gen.
eral discussion Of our greatest domes-
tic problem-the railroads.

community, while another man for the
welfare of the community and the
glory of God teaches school, The brick
maker and the bricklayer, so perverse
is the world, and so obtuse to the finer
values will probably be paid more in
money than the school teacher; but
the same spirit belongs to them all.
No man has a right to assume that
his first concern is to get as much
money as he can. His first duty is to
render the largest service he can pos
sibly render. In the rendering of that
service, he is to be paid a reasonable
living and in some callings he will be
able to secure for limited time rather
more than that. But he cannot honest
ly live in the same world and breathe
the same air with men whom he asks
to give themselves in the spirit of
service while he orders his own life by
another rule.
One common law of service belongs
to all human life. Equality of reward
is not to be expected: even equity is
not at present in sight. We are to
work toward an equitable distribution
of reward. but for every man is one
common duty of service.
