a poor girl from destruction while
away from home trying to make
her way in the world.
President Harding finished his
first year in the White House last
week, and he told somebody that
it seemed like twenty years to
him. When you think of the
almost numberless duties and
burdens laid on a man in his
place. and how well ne has to do
everything-a mistake in that
place now casts its shadow over
the world-it seems a wonder
that one man can do it all. Ev-
entually, perhaps, this country's
affairs will have to be administer
ed by a commission of several
persons ns-perhaps at least one of
them woman as the affairs of
the District of Columbia are now
administered, although there is
no lady Commissioner under this
administration.
1t is said that President Wilson
shed real tears the other day
when he was shown the draft of
the treaty of the United States
with the four great powers. He
said: This means war, and not
peace. Maybe he knows, and
maybe there are a few sour grapes
in his feeling about it.
Spring is slowly opening here,
after a long and hard winter.
The surest sign of all that winter
is over, is the chorus of frogs
