around too much for the Rockville

score of 40 to 16.
Three games are scheduled for
next week, two of which are to be
played at home. On Tuesday we meet
the strong Emerson Institute Quint,

day in observance of Robert E. Lees
Birthday.
The Seniors and Sophomores have
been quite enthusiastic over debates

system Of voting by mail in all. sec
tions should be adopted and utilized
throughout the United States. (2)

will grace the occasion with their IN
imitable singing, playing and fecit,
ing. Frank E. McCravy is noted all
through the south as the .possessor
of a remarkable baritone voice, whose
sweetness and tender appeal goes to
the hearts of his audience. his
record Of success as an evangellstlc
singer is unbroken. Champ Clark
said of him that he had won every
right to rank as head liner IN the
National Chautauqua. James b. Nc
Gravy, the younger brother, possesses
rare skill as violinist and singer.
He will be in charge of the song ser
vice at the Second Baptist Church IL
Alexandria all next week. Both the
brothers are excellent impersonators,
and to hear Frank McCravy deliver
his sermon in the role of Baptist
preacher is rare treat. The parson-
age for the benefit of which the en-
tertainment is to be given, is worthy
piece of community betterment, and
it is hoped the attendance will be
large, as we know it will be enthusiast
tic. Rev. DR.. Robert A. Mckay, the
pastor, is universally beloved by his
congregation, and his work in and
around Del Ray has contributed much
to the uplift Of the whole community.
We understand the tickets are only
fifty cents, and there should be stand
ing room only if all the friends of
Dr.. Mckay do their duty and attend.

not go over to another Congress.
II it does, we predict many
changes in that ponderous body
composed of honorables on Capt.

Europe today owes this country
eleven billions Of dollars. Some
folfy-ridden un-Arnericans say
that she cannot pay and should
not be asked to pay. Why? Be
cause she is poverty-strlcken and
still suffering from the after
math Of war. Our soldier boys,
or most Of them, are in the same
unfortunate condition. We are,
we trust, duly sorry for Europe
but we say frankly, our sympathy
goes out a thousandfold more to
our own people. Let Europe stop
spending her annual millions or
billions on army and navy, and pay
some Of her just and honest debts
to the United States. A little ten
per cent would go a long ways to-
wards the bonus we are asking.
Or, let her pay the annual interest
on this debt, and that will help us
paw our debt to those among us
who need it just as badly as those
whose national existence they saw
ed, Were it not for these very
American soldiers, all Europe to-
day would be ground under the
heel Of the Teutolic Colossus and
her sufferings intensified and
multiplied many fold.

not, we cannot delay longer in set

pany, Boston.
Mark Sabre is so lovable a CHAR

his life story might have been done by
w. j. Locke, in whose hands ne Would

Marcus Ordeyne. The book IS oe-
lightfully done, in the English man

especially in the treatment OF the
cumulative horror of Sabre's ostrac-

the author uses for his objective

Dangerous Days." by Rose Mac
aulay-Boni and Liveright, New York:
This is prominently the problem OF
Neville Hilary, the woman Of forty
three who has, in the words OF Lying
Bill Pincher, "given ostriches to For
tune" There are other problems
those of the shallow, neurotic Mrs
Hilary; Of unconventional Nan Hill
airy; of her youthful-and rather
tiresome-niece and rival, Gerda: But
it is the story of Neville Hilary, beau
tiful and vital, determining to take
up her long neglected study OF
medicine, that intrigues the magma
ton. Having discharged her duties
as wife and mother, and with time
hanging heavily upon her hands, she
finds the old ambitions awakening
There is pathos in her fight against
the lapse of years; fine bravery in
her battle with fate. Her defeat is
her greatest victory, for in its ashes
she lays the foundation Of success last
ing and sure.
1t would be impossible to speak OF
this book without mentioning the most
delightful grandmother in recent fic,
ton. Grandmama Hilary is neither
the lavender and old lace type of old
lady or.sthe modern Vamp of sixty
She combines the sharpest of tongues
and warmest of hearts in fine proper
ton and has keen interest in life and
! jealous devotion to her children which
make her adorably human.

THAT SOLDIER BONUS

3 AS we remember it, when Our
boys were training in a hundred
or a thousand camps for the stern
duties of war overseas, the whole
heart OF the country went out to
them. When they came to the
seaboard to embark they were
feasted and feted and danced and
bazared and gifted and told there
was nothing too good for them.
And as to their return, when they
came back, if they ever did, they
were promised on every hand that
grateful country would welcome
them with open arms; that their
future would be secure; that they
would be amply recompensed for
the cold and hunger and thirst
they might endure; for the daily
peril Of life and limb; and for the
still deadher danger of a life-ln-
death caused by poison gas or
sllell-Shock. This, we sole1nnly
promised, with smiles through
tears-and the whole u n t e d
States stood back of it.
They returned to us, Our heroes
all but those who died on the
field of honor. And how have
we kept our promise? Hundreds
Of suicides among those silent
ones, too proud to beg for that
which was theirs; thousands Of
them walking the streets OF Our
great cities today, jobless and de-
pendent on charity; other thous-
ands crowding our hospitals, to be
turned out hopeless cripplcs for
life; and other thousands upon
thousands in sorrow and heart
break, waiting Tor that which was
promised them but has never
come.
And now what do we find in the
nations capital, among our law
makers and our executors OF the
laws made for peoples benefit?
Quibbling and quarreling over
taxes and appropriations. Sniff
ting and snarling in perpetual
augmentation over the pcttieSt
items in the budget. But they all
fight shy OF a bonus for our sold
iers, The high muck-a-nlucks
and the low muck-a-mucks are

liberty bonds, sales taxes, income
taxes. corporation taxes, burdens
