Birds Aim to Please.

A few days ago while my mother
and father were visiting here from
New Mexico we were passing In
front Of the Treasury Building
when my mother noticed the beau
tiful urn-fountain covered with
moss which is in the center OF the
north entrance to the building.
She said. Lets go closer" and as
we approached she remarked that
she would like to have a branch of
the moss SO that she might exam
inc II and possibly take 1t home
with her. A large blackbird, which
had been concealed in the moss, on
hearing voices approaching came
to the edge to look around. II had
a branch In it's beak and on seeing
us flew down over the basin below,
dropped the branch in the water
and flew away. The bird had an

as though II had understood what
had been said. c., 210o N street

Sparrows Threaten Cat.

A black cat caught a sparrow
on a fence and returned to the
yard with the struggling bird.
Thereupon no less than fifty spar
rows alighted with shrieking
noise. on the. fence. At intervals
of a minute or two. one bird, fol-.
lowed by another would fly close
to the victim. in defiance Of the
cat. in an heroic effort to save the
unfortunate sparrow. But their
noble efforts were In vain. as the
cat. being annoyed in this manner
for about five minutes. mouthed its
prey and disappeared In nearby
cellar.-JACOB WEISBACH, 1921

Tried to See Third Rail.

/ was standing on a downtown
corner waiting for a car one even
ing when a young man. evidently
visitor to the city, approached
me. After asking the names of a
couple Of public buildings near by,
as a matter OF form, presumably,
he then inquired: What makes the
street cars rum"
After recovering from my sur
prise. was able to answer: "Elec-
tricity."
= But" persisted the young man,
Il don't see any wires, never
saw 'em run without wires before"
4. Then / explained that instead of
trolley wires the Washington cars
use an electric rail that runs in a
conduit under the tracks.
When j had boarded my car
looked back and saw the young man
standing In the center of the track
and peering down through the slot
between the rails In seeming in
credulity.-V. S. s., 2724 Eleventh

1t Seems to Me
By Haywood Broun.

And now about the doctors ana
dentists? How on earth does the
dentist get his first patients? On
course we don't mean the teeth he
pulls for charity. IL doctor
waits long enough we suppose
somebody will eventually faint just
outside his office and he can go out
and carry him In. sut call upon
dentist requires volition. We do
not see how he can possibly ger
started without deceit or trickery
Of some kind. Certainly no patient
who kney that he was the first
would ever willingly enter the o.
ice.
One of the tricks of the business
We have observed. seemingly there
Is tacit agreementamong all
dentists to pretend to be fearfully
busy. Take up a telephone book
and stop at the name Of the first
dentist. which you run across.
Call him up and ask for an
appointment and we will wager
that he will reply. Il can let you
have half an hour rwo weeks from
next Thursday at o'clock in the
morning"
This rule is observed with the
most painstaking courage. Pro-
fessional pride never weakens. To
the best of orr knowledge no dem
tist in the world has ever SO far
forgotten himself and his obliga-
tions to his calling as to answer,
Sure, some on down now"
We have fallen into the bad habit
OF making up our mind about a
book Immediately after reading the
olurb on the jacket. For instance:
we are prejudiced against The
Clash by Storm Jameson because
We find on the outside cover. The
theme Of The Clash is such that
the book Is sure to be neatedly dis
cussed. 1t is the clash between
the two temperaments, the English
and the American. with which she
deals. as exemplified in an English
woman and an A merican who meet
In England in wartime. when the
restraints of civilization are less
cned and the best and worst in
men and women reveal themselves"
Well, We saw a lot of people dur
Ing the war who were exactly the
same as before And they were the
same after. In fact, 1t is our belief
that as far as most people are con-
cerned yon can take of all the re-
straints you please and nothing
happens. And besides. we don't
think it Is sure that THE Clash"
Will be 'heatedly discussed"
We have a little more against the
book than that. In the "Foreword
to the American Edition" VIC founn,
The future of the world Is written
In the future of your nation and
mine. How does Storm Jameson
know that? 1t is entirely possible
that the future of the world is writ
Ten in the future of Siam and Ecua
dor. We rather fancy that when
dewdrops get to discussing things
one says to the other. "The future
and the fate of civilization rest

/ Piece Suit.
Coat, Skirt and Blouse Costume,
French Spring Outfit.
Fashion Of Making BIouses That Ex-
tend Below Bottom Of Suit Jackets
Widely Advocated.

The three-piece suit-that is, the
costume consisting of a coat, skirt
and u silk blouse, ruther than coat
and a one-piece dress-is one Of the
most Important features in the clothes
which the principal French couturiers
are now preparing for spring, Paris
fashion authority says. Although sep
arate. the blouse is really part Of
the suit, rs ii is either combined or
trimmed with the cloth from which
the coat and skirt are made. Used
as trimming, the cloth Is often In
the form of appliqued motifs or
tubular strips.
A suit worn at Longchamps, and
one which will doubtless find favor
with the American woman this spring,
consists OF hip-length box coat and
skirt of tan kasha. The coat has
ven-eighths-length sleeves In pagoda
form and soft rolling collar, which
may be fastened closely about the
neck or left open to the waistline.
The accompanying blouse is of tan
silk, with dotted pattern in brown,
and has high collar and long bishop
sleeves. Since the coat worn over this
blouse has short sleeves and an open
neck very striking effect is obtained
by the high collared blouse with Its
long sleeves falling below the shorter
| sleeves of the coat. The most I'M
portant feature of this blouse Is
peplum of cloth, which hangs below the
bottom Of the coat. The coat Is lneo
with the silk from which the blouse
Is made.
The fashion Of making blouses that
extend below the bottom of suit jack
cts is one widely advocated by the
reading dressmakers. Madame Jenny
shows long blouse of silk, with q
deep band Of embroidery at its lowel
edge. This blouse is considerably
longer than the suit coat with which
1t is worn. the embroidery appearing
as though it We're on the skirt OIL
coat.
All the shades of tan and gray
will be prominent in the new spring
suits Of both the tailored and fancy
| types. There Is a persistent rumol
that the vogue for the plain tailored
gray suit, which proved such sue
cess in Paris last spring, will be re
peated this season, not only in gra!
cloth, but In tan as well.
