sums, the day when woman was not
supposed TO understand the money
market is indeed gone.
Naturally the coming of the vote to
women has brought lot of political
material into these pages. The work
women can do in politics, her respon-
sibilties, clear expositions of what the
different political parties stand for,
these are some of the directions in
which expansion is shown. Women
want to know a whole lot Of things
that they did not, as class, care
about only short time ago And what
women want, they get.
There is hardly limit to what the
well-trained, clever, ambitious girls
may expect Of life in the way Of serv-
ice, interesting work, a good income
independence, influence on the future
Of her country, and full home life.
Ii is truly, today, up to her.

Something to
Think AbOut
CONTENT; DISCONTENT
By F. II. WALKER

The toad beneath the harrow knows
Exactly where each tooth point goes
The butterfly upon the road
breaches contentment to that toad"
MOT all Of Kiplug's best poetry is
~ printed in large type. Some Of 1t
appears in the smaller characters
when ii precedes verses which the au-
thor thought were more important.
That is the case with the lines print
ed above which in the bound volume
serve as an Introduction TO "Pagett,
u. r."
But one need not be a butterfly to
| preach contentment There is many
man and woman living far from a
butterfly life thar preach contenment
in the most forcible and convincing
way which is by example.
discomfort Is very contradictory In
! its results. 1t has been responsible
for innumerable failures. II has been
the most forcible factor in the great
est Of the worlds revolutions and ref
ormatiOnS.
Get a man or q nation thoroughly
discontented with surroundings. with
laws. with government and there is
bound to be "A change
Discomfort has played consider
able factor In the history Of America.
II was discomfort, dissatisfaction
means the same thing. with the means
Of communication with The rest of the
world that led Columbus 20 sail out
into the mysteries of the Western
oceans.
II was discomfort with the religious
restriction Of their home country that
led the Pilgrims to sail for Plymouth.
Ii was discomfort with the laws un-
der which they were living that led
the fathers Of this country to rid
themselves Of the English yoke and
become free and independent peo-
pie.
In any one Of these instances con-
tentment would have been the worst
thing that could have happened to
America. the worst condition that
could have obtained. 1t would have
stifled progress and hindered the ad-
vnncement Of the whole world.
But where discomfort is useful
once 1t is harmful n thousand times
because it is for the most part badly
based.
Are you discontented with your
home? Nine times out of ten your
home could be made better if you
really wanted to exert yourself to
make II better.
Are you discontented with your Job?

WOMEN'S INTERESTS

THERE is perhaps no surer way of
Il discovering just how the interests
and the opportunities Of woman have
broadened in the last very few years
than to study the women's magazines.
The business woman is carefully
considered today In these publications.
Her training, her chances of success,
new fields where she may try for posi-
tions; these are exploited. There are
articles on subjects that would never
have been touched upon five or six
wears AGO, or even two or three years
ago.
Finance Is another department that
has shawn tremendous development in
such magazines. Women are learning
to manage their own funds. and when

campaigns for great sums, as they do
now. and invest and disburse such

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"RENIG"

USED by whist and euchre
~ players TO signify revoke
or failure to play a card of the
suit called for, the word "renig"
is properly spelled "renege"
and is the Old English verb
meaning TO refuse, renounce or
deny. 1t probably crept into
whist from the older game Of
"spoil-five' which. with its
variations of twenty-five" and
"forty-hve" is still played In
the British army and I'm many
parts of Ireland. In this game
the player is permitted to renig
Cor TO deny the suit when hold
ing certain cards. Here the
word retains its original mean
ing, though its synonym "re-
woke Is not so easy TO trace.
The word "renege" is twice
used by Shakespeare. once in
ANTHONY and Cleopatra" and
once In king Lear" and is Oc-
caSionally found in the works
of other writer's Of the Sixteenth
and Seventeenth centuries.
Chaucer uses the form reneys,
evidently from the French re
nier which, In turn, is derived
from the Latin renegare. the
root-word Of renegade" and
other English derivatives.

Congress FdUOrs Program
for Public Schools
By BILL PRICE.

comprehensive program for putting the public
schools of the District their feet now seems TO meet
with wide favor in Congress- Judging from public utter
ances by Senators CAPPER and KING and Congress
man FOCHT, chairman of the House Committee on
the District
The Times long ago urged that Congress do away
with piecemeal practices in dealing with the schools
and agree upon definite plan covering many years
necessary to make the public educational establish
ments here models for the nation at least equip the
school system to handle the thousands of students who
today not receiving the full privileges they are en-
titled to.
Congressman Focht took farsighted view of this
problem months ago when he fought for appropriations
of fully $5000000 to the serious shortcomings of
the Schools but he overruled and the appropria
tons about 100000 for the present fiscal year
At the next session of Congress the schools may
may not receive liberal treatment. So many things
ter into the work of Congress nobody knows just what
will happen in any session. The situation could be
met by program eliminating in giving every boy and
girl in the District chance to education under
satisfactory conditions
Senator CAPPER frankly says:
Congress is to blame because it did not make ap-
preparations to meet the needs of the schools long be-
for this
The policy of Congress toward District schools dur
the years disastrous one Dangerous econ
omies insisted upon, while money flowed like
ter for all national purposes Yet Congress could hard
ly have done otherwise in view of the inflated build
ing prices. 1t make up for the harm by
tnuous program of school construction better school
grounds, and better pay for school officials and
teachers.
If the future is left to the customary pecemeal
methods there will never be any that the lost
ground will be made up. New men will enter Con-
gress who do not understand the situation as those
now in that body and the schools will be subjected to
drifting policy, dependent upon whmscalites
and personalities

THE flavor of God comes pouring from everything
Il Plums and oranges, apples and grapes and dew:
The justice Of God is felt in the briar's sting
And bees, molested, may tell of His justice, too
The courage Of God comes up with the mounting sun,
His pity sounds in the dripping of crystal rain;
He blooms in the petaled west when day is done,
Under the dark He fathers the fields Of grain
The splendor of God flames up in the souls of men;
His ardor leaps in the hearts Of the opprest.
You who have prayed for the coming of Christ again,
Lo, He is here in the pulse Of the peoples breastI
Lo, He is here And the eyes of the blind shall see.
Lo, He is here And the lips Of the dumb shall speak
You who have fixed your faith the life to be,
