The Interest of Congress in

By BILL PRICE.

More than usual interest is shown by Senators and
Congressman in the enlargement OF playground activities
in the District and the eventual outcome WILL it hoped
be legislation that will greatly extend these recreatonal
centers
Nearly all American cities devoting increased at
tenton to playground facilities for their young people,
and it is just matter of time when Congress VIII see
the wisdom of these policies In dozens OF cities where
municipal appropriations for Fairgrounds scant the
citizens contribute literally raise the necessary funds
The playground laws of the District permit private sub
scriptions to supplement public funds and there are
occasional liberal donations. Weto-do citizens or
organizations may furnish the money for Fairgrounds
playground equipment in any part of Washington and
it will be acceptable.
Washington is not only far short Of the necessary
number of Fairgrounds, equipment and supervisory per-
sonnet but lacks unifcaton of playground work The Dis
trct some of its Fairgrounds, loaned by
the Federal Government and others by private citizens.
There is playground work among the schools but
rule the public schools without playground space
and the children must the streets If all Fairgrounds
and playground work could be placed under manage
ment the benefits would probably be material
Child fatalities increase in every city where there
inadequate facilities and the streets used for play
The saving of life is important enough but experience
has taught that the municipal playground, where
alton is combined with the teaching of industrial arts
develops health purity of mind fairness, ambition hon
esty sefconfdence, obedience and dminishes ideness
delinquency, selfshness, rowdyism, temptation.

r. T. O'Connor, of ST Paul. sometimes affec-
tionately called the Cardinal by his friends, is
the acknowledged Democratic leader from the
city of James j. Hill.
Not long ago he went over TO Minneapolis, the
other twin Of the Minnesota metropoli. He went
to see Edward f. Smith, good friend despite
the fact that he is the Republican leader OF Min
neapolis.
Smith was having lot of trouble with some Of
his teeth. They had been aching him something
awful and he had finally reached the point where
he had resigned himself to parting with them He
was getting ready to have them pulled out.
O'Connor commiserated with him. They dis.
cussed the matter in detail particularly the pain
prevention agency Smith should resort to while
the teeth were being taken out.
Don't take gas" o'Connor urged feelngly.
Whatever comes, do not take gas. You might

And NOU the
Golden Auto
THEY are building in London, for
some prince of India, an auto


1t is limousine, with forty-ive
horsepower engine.
There have been limousines be-
fore, and forty-five horsepower en-
gines before, but the distinguishing
feature of this machine is that
1t will be entirely covered with
Gold.
z The body will be Golden, the
wheels and radiator cover Golden,
and everything.
4 AS it rolls along the roads of
India it will certainly make SEN
sation among the natives, many Of
whom live next door to famine half
the time on four or FIVE cents day.
1t will raise, in the breasts OF the
beholders, a crop of wonder, bitter
ness, despair and envy enough to
satisfy the. cravings of the most
hardened millionaire.
Dives will not do thing to
Lazarus.
The desire to own and to spend
is a curious inhabitant Of the
menagerie in the human breast.
1t is a variant of egotism, one of
the most constant and one of the
most destructive of human charac-
teristics.
1t is the thing we call Pride,
which is the DEVILS counterfeit Of
the divine quality of Self Respect
or Conscious Integrity.
Pride is a beggar at every mans
door.
1t begs aims of praise from every
passerby.
It has no resources within itself
but lives on the contributions of
others, upon their fattery and envy.
It is the most unsocial of vices.
1t has a direct tendency to create
unrest and provoke violence. If
men knew how to retain riches
without Pride probably the poor
would not bother with them.
Pride is a perversion. 1t bears
the same relation to Self Respect
that lust bears to love, or alcoholic
intoxication to the natural glow of
health.
It is an expression of the normal
desire of people for largeness of
life, for the approval of their fell
lows, and for success in the compe-
tition of existence.
1t is a counterfeit, for it seeks
these worthy ends in childish and
selfish ways.
Like all perverted tastes, it grows
constantly in its demands, and its
victims need larger and larger
doses, as is the case with alcohol,
morphine and other habit-forming
drugs.
The symptoms of the disease of
Pride are unhappiness, petulance,
selfshness, morbidity, hardness of
heart and envy.
Just as the results of an honest
Self Respect are contentment, poise,
enjoyment of other peoples good
fortune and sympathy.
Pride is known to the psycholo-
gists as the egoistic complex.
1t makes marriage a failure, it
renders genuine friendship impos-
sible, it creates social disturbance,
and its crowning achievement is
War.
For the egoistic complex is as
noxious in nation as in an indi-
vidual.
The cure for pride is self
discipline and intelligence.

The March
OF EUentS

ment in Germany is another
q ominous sign of the chaotic
and perilous condition of Europe.
The unfair and dishonest partition
of Upper Silesia by the League
Council brought about the fall OF
the Wirth cabinet and created a
bitter resentment in Germany that
may lead to the most serious con-
sequences.
Threatened with invasion if they
do not pay indemnities beyond their
power to pay unless they can work
day and night and then deprived of
the coal and iron without which
they cannot work and produce for
foreign markets, and with financial
bankruptcy only matter of months,
it is quite conceivable that the Ger
mans may take counsel of despair,
throw themselves into the arms of
the Slavs and begin period of ter
ror and destruction which would
shake all Europe to its foundations.
Such are the conditions three
years after the war to end war
ended-and a sorrowful comment
they are, indeed, upon the vanity,
greed, falsehood and stupidity that
made the vindictive, futile and i'm
possible Treaty of Versailles.
War is a brutal thing. The old
luster of chivalry is no longer ex-
istent. The recent war was particu-
larly brutal. The allies waged it
quite as savagely as did the Ger
mans. The violence done in Bel
gium was more than equaled by the
violence done by the Cars troops
in East Prussia, Galicia and Poland.
Both sides made war upon civilians
men, women and children. Both
killed men crying for quarter. The
whole dreadful conflict was so saw
age and so brutal that even the
privates who came back still main
tain a silence about it that was never
before maintained by any soldiers in
the history Of the world, and in that
lies the worlds only hope that wars
will some time cease.
Peace has not yet come to make
her stay permanent. There will be
other wars, and at least one more
world war before this century ends.
All the strong NATIONS are now de-
veloping new means of destruction,
all of them are preparing subma-
rines, bombing aircraft, poison
gases and deadly chemicals which
will wipe out whole cities.
So the next great war is going to
be a hideous thing, far more hide
GUS than the last. And the best
thing to hope for is that the next
war will be so horrible that the sur
vivors will put war under the ban
of universal adherence, and make
an end forever of generals, marshals,
admirals, and privates, and the
whole foolish business of maintain
ing and training millions of men in
the trade of wholesale murder.
But until the public opinion of
mankind does come to abhor the
trappings and pomp and parade, as
we'll as the brutality and ugliness
of war, there will be no permanent
peace and every prudent people will
keep prepared for defense.
The common testimony of all
Americans who come back from
Mexico is that that country has
finally entered upon an era of peace,
security, stability and progress un-
der the wise leadership of President
Obregon.

Mexico is that that country has
finally entered upon an era of peace,
security, stability and progress un-
der the wise leadership of President
Obregon.
Life is safe, property is safe, JUS
tice prevails, foreigners are protect

invited and encouraged, and the
whole nation, wearied of disorders
and revolutions, has resolutely be-
gun the work of upbuilding the re-
public and developing its amazing
natural riches.
The sensible thing for us to do is
to show Mexico that we are her true
friends and ready and willing to
help her solve her problems and de-
velop her resources. And the first
step in that direction should he
taken quickly by recognizing the
government of President Obregon.

Home Building

Perhaps there is nothing
comes to use through life more
interesting, or essential than
planning and building a Home.
You cannot make intelligent
plans until you have selected a
lot, which is a very essential
part in Home building. To build
a Home you should have space,
room for shrubbery, a few
small fruit trees, and a garden,
"a yard large enough that if
Sonny wants to turn a SOM
mer sault he won't roll over in
the street or on someone's yard.
Then you should select a COM
munity where other people have
this same plan of Home build
ing; where there are building
restrictions protecting you from
some Inscriptions persons who
would build in front of you, or
jam UP against your property
line. All these requirements
have been met in the lots to be
sold at auction

three larger ones finished the bottom
Just above the ruffles was a bunch yol
flowers Of linen in several bright eolors
appliaued on to the organdie. And you
must be sure to get her several pairs Of
