WHEN Congress gets through
" with it's many duties in con-
W nection with national prob
lens, the people Of the District of
Columbia would like to have a bill
considered providing for care of the
property of persons forcibly elected
from their homes.
Recently the property Of o. L..
Schwartz was removed from his
home at 1434 Fairmont street north
west during a downpour of rain.
The fact that while the furniture
was being thrown out Mr.. Schwartz
was obtaining stay of execution of
the order is merely an interesting
sidelight.
But this property, representing
The savings of lifetime was viz
tually ruined. If the DEGREES of a
court are to be carried out without
regard to consequent damage to
property there should be some other
agency to protect evicted persons
from such loss.
We respectfully submit that the
officers detailed to such work
should be instructed to place prop,
erty in storage, at the expense of the
evicted person, or that other means
be taken to insure justice.

; have teachers on the playground to
show children how to play.
When we speak of education we
usually have in mind nothing but
serious instruction. We assume that
the child mind is to be shaped by
the kind of solid knowledge we put
into it. And all the while, as mat
ter of fact, the child mind is shaped
by the kind of knowledge it gathers
for itself as it runs about at liberty.
We also assume that if a man
does his work satisfactorily, it
makes little difference how he di-
verts himself, when the truth is that
his manner of diversion makes for
success as surely as his manner of
work.
An intelligent person should plan
his leisure as carefully as his bust
ness. This does not mean that he
should play by schedule and destroy
all the charm of adventure and of
the unexpected in his amusement by
some dry program. But it means
that the quality of his play should
be determined by a disposing mind
and not left entirely to circum-
stances.
Real play is which
means Recreation. By it one is
made anew. Because of it one
comes back to his task refreshed.
Play, of course, is not play unless
it is something we like. But people
of common sense recognize that play
may be a means of raising the level
of their likes. In other words, we
can play at things we ought to like
until we come to like them.
And this is the true secret of cul-
ture, of self-improvement.
At least one should learn not to
let go of all self-discipline in play,
for at such a time one is most
easily susceptible to the septic and
destructive inroads of vice-at least
to the beginnings and seeds of vice.
The great business of life after all
is to learn how to live, and in that
business it is necessary to know
how to employ ones Leisure.

On Planning Your Leisure

IF there is any problem equal in
importance to that of one g work,
it is the problem of one leisure.
A mans avocation is as serious
matter as his vocation.
Emerson said that y boys char
acter is determined more by the
book under the desk than by the
book on the desk.
How we play and what we play
mean as much to us as our serious
business.
The reason is quite scientific. 1t
is that the mind is impressed and
the character formed most readily
In those moments when we are cheer
full and interested.
A boy learns as much in the
school playground as he does in the
schoolroom. And what he learns in
his games has more to do with de-
termining what sort of boy he
shall be.
This is the underlying idea of the
kindergarten; that the child learns
through play.
But this is not only TRUE of the
child, but of the adult. For in our
hours of amusement, our spirit is
receptive, our faculties keen and the
impressions we receive are vivid.
1t is for this reason, perhaps, that
the diversions of a people are so i'm
portant, and we can say what the
future generation will be depends
more upon the movies and the
theaters than on the churches and
the schoolhouses, more on the kind
of novels we read than on the kind
of essays.
Unfortunately, society has always
looked upon amusement as some
thing to be restrained instead of
something to be encouraged, de-
veloped and nodded.
We have public schools to teach
children arithmetic and geography.
But if we were wise we would also

Not at Mills

T. Asst month, in commenting on
I. profteering in lumber, we spoke
of the National Lumber Manu-
facturers Association as though it
were in that class.
Facts since brought to our atten-
ton warrant a different verdict.
This organization is loose fedora
ton of twelve regional groups of
lumber manufacturers having moth
ing to do with prices but acting as
a clearing house for trade informa-
ton. No profteering has been
traced to it.
A tabulation as of September Z
last, stating price per thousand board
feet on actual sales at the saw mills
on FIVE standard varieties of South
ern pine, shows an average reduc-
ton from $61.50 to $2O71 since
March, 1920; and for Douglas fir
from the Northwest, an average re-
duction from SAILS to $11.94a de-
flation in price exceeding that of
any other building material or
commodity. If other prices had
kept pace there would be little call
for complaint by builders.
As to freight rates, there are
numerous instances in which, on rail
shipments exceeding 1000 miles,
they have exceeded from one and
one-half to three and one-half times
the mill value of the lumber itself.
These attested facts are proof that
the profiteering is not at the saw
mills. They also show that present
rail rates are more than the traffic
can bear profitably.

THE New York Hospital sets example to other hospitals
and cities outside of New York in the announcement
that it will maintain, at night, for the benefit of work
ngmen, what is called "a Clinic of Applied Immunology"
This long that the hospital will endeavor
protect citizens including workers not able to in the
day time, by making them IMMUNE to certain most trou
blesome Affections.
These include asthma hay fever and that
Millions and poison ivy that is threat to the physical
fort Of other millions living in the country.
The Rockefeller Institute has long been working tho
question of fighting such diseases and Affections by proc
that make the patient immune. The New York Hos
ptal in its asthma Clinic" it is called for short will
specialize at night in taking of working people, helping
them fight their troubles especially to protect the sys
tenn by incubation otherwise against of the most
painful Affections
The treatment will include immunizng against dphtheria
and preventive typhoid injections
This is wise of science. The DOCTORS who will give
their service without pay ought to be well paid by the
payers WHOLE or by those that can afford it.

Terrace Farming.

In the intermediate or temperate valleys of the
eastern Andes at attitudes between 5000 and
IL 900 feet, agriculture was of the terrace system
which the ancient Peruvians carried to a higher
development than any other people. Hundreds
of square miles of land were reclaimed nv
Strengthening rivers, walling filling, leveing and
covering with a deep layer of fine soil All of
these artificial lands had also to be irrigated
often by CRYING the water channels for many
miles through craggy mountains or along pre-.
cipitous slopes. After being cropped with maize
continuously for centuries, the terrace farms are
still fertile and have enabled millions of people
to live in region that in its natural condition
could have bssn Of no use for agricultural pur.

You might explain little more,

deep voice.
An embarrassed laugh fell from
Philips lips.
There isn't any secret about IT,
he answered. "Tm going abroad for
the Salvation Army for year, longer
perhaps, and it would be too much to
ask me to go all by myself"
Lines appeared between Doctor
Paul's brows. At last the day had
come when he must give up the girl
those he held dearest. He noticed
with a quick sigh that Tony's eyes
deepened softly, and her red lips were
parted in a smile.
"Itll hurry up our marriage lit
tie" Philip continued, 'but-but--"
The sound of a chair scrapfng back
from the table broke off his state
ment.
"Then Wen adjourn and talk it
over" remarked Doctor John. 'You
ask mighty big thing, Phil, when
you demand our little girl without
more warming"
Little girl" sneered Mrs. Curtis
after the four had left the dining
room. 1t happened, much to her sur
prise, that Doctor John sought her
out within the hour.
Those children have won Paul and
me over, Sarah" he said a little
grimly. They're going to be married
a week from today. 1t won't be much
trouble to prepare the house, will it?
You needn't make a fuss. It'll be
very quiet. Tony can buy everything
she needs in New York on her honey

Curtis wished the speaker dead at
her feet.
"The house isn't mine, Cousin
john" she said maliciously, "but Of
course, I'll do what 1 can, although
Katherine isn't at all well. I fear the
child is going to be ILL.,"
Doctor John found Katherine with
her eyes dull and heavy, prescribed
for her, and, before leaving the room,
announced:
Paul and | are going over to SYRIA
cuse tomorrow afternoon to make q
few purchases, but We'll be back on
the night train. Stay in bed, Kathie,
until morning, and you'll be all
right"
The moment he had disappeared,
katherine sprang up.
Tomorrow they're going away!

cried. "Now then, where's Reggie?'

Unobserved by his wife, Uriah De-
Won made ready to leave the Dirty

was Edith in her thoughts that she
paid no heed to her husbands sly ac-
tons. He knew they would not dare
to return to the boat with Tony until
after she had been forced to marry
Reginald Brown. Uriah would glad
ly have abandoned his wife forever,
but in making his plans, had foreseen
that, if they met with much opposi-
ton from Tonnibel, the woman, I'M

nine o'clock they started for Ithaca,
Uriah carrying a small black bag, and
in his pocket his revolver.
They entered Pendlehaven place
through the service gate, and, when
they passed the garage, the man no.
ticed with satisfaction that Reginald's
