A DAILY MESSAGE
~ DR.. WILLIAM {. BARTON
BY Or. VIM. E. Barton.

Dy Ut VIM e Barton
We have an increasing number OF
national holidays. If We take warning
from European countries, we shall have
occasion TO remind ourselves that it
is easy for a nation to load itself up
with more holidays than it can really
afford
1t is easy to proclaim a holiday in
honor of almost anybody. and there are
in every country great numbers Of peo-
pie who wish that all days were hoii-
days. As yet America has not too
many OF them, and they are sufficiently
distributed and diversified to insure
their permanence.
IL only George Washington and Abra-
ham Lincoln had been content to have
been born in different months. We
should have no congestion Of HOLIDAYS
in any part OF the year. But We must
nave both Washington and Lincoln.
OF all our national holidays there is
just one that is given over to festivity,
and that is Thanksgiving. There is
nothing festive about Memorial Day.
but something quite the reverse; it is
day of tender and solemn memories.
The Fourth of July is not festive:
though the old-fashioned picnic dinner
gave it something of that character.
Christmas is a day Of gift bestow-
al, and New Years is supposed to be,
and ought TO be, day when men re-
solve to do better; for we need such
days. But Thanksgiving is a day Of
feasting and good cheer.
Now the Puritans were little given
to holidays. They did not observe
Christmas or Easter, and ~ had no
Washington or Lincoln to commemor-
ate, and they had no Independence Day,
or Memorial Day. But they created
one holiday. and TO it gave full ex-
preston of their character.
Has it ever occurred to you that our
only really festive holiday, in a list
otherwise rather formally dignified and
solemn, is a legacy from the Puritans 2
They were solemn people. Anybody
would have been solemn in their situa-
ton. and they were solemn by con-
viction and habit But when they or
dained a holiday, they made it happy
one, and they have given US our only
holiday that is definitely dedicated to
joy.

MIR. Cant Says Journal
Misunderstood Motives

Editor Pensacola Journal:
The Journals editorial OF Tuesday
misunderstanding the motive OF my
Sundays article leads me to request
The Journal to allow further explana-
tion OF said article.
Ny plea was for harmony, peace and
a means to end contention that is
detrimental to the best interests OF a
greater Pensacola. Prolonged iitiga-
ton that dissipates resources can
benefit neither town nor taxpayers.
AS stated Sunday Harmony is an
Ideal asset and a community's strength
| is often measured by the opinions of
its people who must recognize as a
fair basis of government the supreme
viii Of the majority
Some may not wish any dock site,
to them litigation is pleasing; othes1
may desire immediate acquisition of a
site and be compelled to view the re-
straining influence and delay of liti-
cation.
The majority sometimes errs, the
minority much oftener does: cannot
the entire circle of general opinion
coincide? If The Journal or anyone
else viii suggest a better plan that
viii tend to more quickly give us
municipal docks. I viii support it, Let
US have more docks and less courts,
whatever the site be, and that at the
earliest possible moment

| You, at some time or other in your
life, have sat late at night before a
fireplace with a group of friends. Con-
versation drifted into an exchange of
philosophical views-why we are here
on earth, why so many fail, and what
constitutes success.
| out Of such discussions. like a mock
ling jinni. rises a glaring truth-that
philosophy of life to fit his degree of
success or failure.

BUT 1T DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING.

The Japs are pleasant, they smile and

They bow the journalists in and out,

Though Japanese voices smoothly ring,
They don't tell anyone anything.
The British chummily greet ''the boys"
With hearty manner and gentle poise,
They talk with freedom on politics,
And foreign problems of '96;
But bring up matters of present date,
They really haven't a word to statei
They smile at questions the press may
fling,
But don't tell anyone anything.
The French are cordial as they can be.
And the delegation from Italy
Makes every journalist feel at ease,
In a way that's perfectly planned to

But up to date, in their frankest moods

But they haven't told anyone anything.
So the press makes daily perambula-

From delegation to delegation,
But the calm Chinese and the restless
Yank
Are the only folks who are blunt and
frank,
For the others talk in a way serene,
So nobody knows what the talk may
mean.
And as to the news that we hope they'll
spring.
They don't tell anyone anything.

ADVENTURES OF

LAND o. UNDERNEATH

LAND OF UNDERNEATH"
The Land of Underneath, where PIN
PIN reigned. and where Nancy and
Nick were starting forth on new adj
ventures. was most remarkable place.
True, it was under the earth, with the
entrance by the dogwood tree (where
human eyes could not see it-unless,
like the Twins, they wore enchanted
Shoes). but that was no reason why il
should be ugly or unattractive. To
judge the Land of Underneath by the
ground we dig down in to plant pota-
toes, would be like judging a beautiful
palace by the ugly, gray states on the
roof One couldn't see the sky after
entering. but then with giow-worms
and fire-flies and phos- phor-esc-ent
beetles to throw lights on the shining
walls and ceilings. which i'm turn
caught the CLEANS and flashed them
back like a thousand candles. 1t was
as bright as day in most places. And
as the ceilings were hung with crystals
of every shape and size and different
colors, it all looked like Fairyland, as
inded it was. or part Of it.
The Twins were amazed at such
beauty. why, Kip didn't bring US
here" said Nancy. when we came to
visit the Brownies before"
That's just like Kip" said a wheezy
voice, and a little figure puffed into
view, a very short, fat little figure
with knobby legs. and hat with a
broad brim, the crown of which pointed
up like church steeple. But the hat
was not so big that it hid his eyes.
This queer little person had the very
kindest eyes. and merry.
It was PIN PIN himself.
I'm ever so glad to see you, my dear
Twins" he said, shaking hands heartily
all the way round, and tipping his big
hat. 7 was sure that my old friend
the Mushroom here would help me out
of my trouble I hear you are fine work
ers."

The Washington Golf and Country
tain opener for the season in the inn
mediate vicinity of this city. The
tournament of the Virginia organiza-
tion will be held May 5. and Z. The
annual spring tournament Of the
Chevy Chose Club will be held two
weeks later In the latter part Of
June many players from the. District
will journey to Norfolk to play in the
Middle Atlantic Golf Associations in
dividual championship. Women golf
ers Of the District Of Columbia will
find their first opportunity for tour
nament play in the annual competi-
ton for The Evening Star trophy. to
Be played for over the course of the
Bannockburn Golf Club May 26 and 81.
The past week has done wonders in
the way of bringing out the early
grass that brings out the early
played on local courses during the
week just ended than during any
seven days since October. Every
course about the District is now car
peted with a fine stand Of grass
young, tits true. and liable to be torn
to pieces by what DR.. McClenahan
calls the farmers" otherwise known
as divot diggere-but still a respecta-
BILE stand of grass. Incidentally this
matter of replacing divots is more inn
portant in the spring than at any
other time for obvious reasons.
Divots not replaced now may lead to
a series of bare spots by June.
AS for the putting greens on local
courses. they are in tip-top shape,
particularly those at Columbia Seven
of the greens at the Chevy Chase Club
have been roped off and were not
played on during the past week. They
will be far better for the short relief
from steady play which they have en-
dured through the exceptionally mild
winter 1t goes without saying that
the Chevy Chase Club has putting
greens that are without a peer in this
section of the. country and they are
kept in topnotch condition by steady
work on the part of the force.
The putting green's. and, in fact, the
whole course. at the Bannockburn Golf
Club are going to be vastly improved
this year. according to Miles Taylor,
an officer of the club. Mr.. Taylor says
the whole course is far better than
ever before, and a casual glance ap-
pears to bear out this statement.
