Editors note to parents:
This course of instruction for the
little ones is intended and planned
to give them an understanding of
the few simple fundamental shapes
that are used in the construction. of
al! pictures; and to teach them to
look for these shapes in the objects
they are always trying to make pic
lures of. Every child loves to
draw. With an understanding Of
the A. B. C's as outlined in these
lessons, it will be very easy to teach
them to draw well in a short time.
The lessons will advance a little
each week with an added interest
to the child. A scrapbook kept Of
these lessons will be of value not
only to the child, but many older
and advanced students.

Lesson I3
We have learned in other lessons
that the A: B. C's of drawing are
A. the circle, B. the square, c. the
triangle. With these we have made
little pictures, showing how these
three shapes are found in all OBJ
jects we wish to draw. BY learning
the A. B. C.'s you learn to observe
what shapes are contained in the
subject of your picture. In the les
son last week the Square was used
throughout, with the lines and an
giles as the outlines of the objects.
In today's lesson we have the tri-
angle showing how just the lines
and angles of this shape outline the
houses and trees of the. picture. Try
to see in the sketches you make,
these different shapes. It will be
easy for you to draw, when you
know what to look for.

Creator of the Rambler Rose.

Michael H. Walsh. who died recently
at his home In Woods Hole. at the
age of seventy-five. is credited with
originating the Rambler rose. The
popular success of his creations was
SO immense that he altered, as few
men have done. the aspect of the
world-in the time of roses, at any
rate. They are people who have a
finicky distaste for this favorite va
riety. but the popular vote is against
them, and in June the Ramblers,
crimson and white, dominate the
countryside SO completely that it is
hard to realize their modernity; in
such setting one would look for the
cavaliers on horseback and unbobbed
maidens beloved by the romantic
painters of rustic beauty in more
idyllic days.
Nor have the experts been slow to
recognize the value Of this veteran
horticulturist's work. Among his most
successful varieties were the Lady
Gay and Minnehaha, and these
brought him awards from many
societies at home and abroad, includ-
ing the gold medal of the American
Rose Society and the London Agricul-
tural Society's high award. He lived
among his roses and was at work
preparing them for the spring bud
ding when he was prostrated by the
attack of influenza which caused his
death a week later. His life work

Wilson and Reed.

II any doubt existed anywhere
probably none did-as to Mr.. Wilson's
continued interest in politics it will
be dispelled by the publication of his
letter respecting Senator Reed Of Mis-
souri,.
Mr.. Reed desires another term in
the Senate. His relations with Mr..
Wilson while the latter occupied the
White House were not cordial. They
differed on more than one question.
in the published letter, they differed
particularly as to the league of ma
tions. The Missouri senator opposed
the league with great zeal and EN-.
phasis. He was the leagues most con-
spicuous opponent on the democratic
side Of the chamber.
This led to embarrassments for the
senator at home. The Wilson men of
Missouri have not liked him since,
and more than a suspicion has existed
that when the time came they would
manifest their displeasure at the polls.
The time has come. Their opportu.

The entrance OF Mr.. Wilson into the
Missouri primary will add great

contest-will make it, indeed, q con-

Aerial Advance and Casualties.

Yesterdays aviation happenings in
cluded another fatal aerial collision
and successful flight of 1,210 miles
in eleven hours and a quarter. The
collision occurred at Quantico, when
two marine planes maneuvering for
battle positions came together, locked
wings and crashed to the earth from
a height of over 5000 feet, killing
three men. This was in a way in the
line Of practical practice work. If the
airplane is to be a weapon Of war 1t
must be developed, and the men who
use 1t must be trained. 1t is inevitable
that casLalitiss should occur. and re-
grettable as was the tragedy at Guam
tico it must be rated as part of the
price paid for aerial efficiency.
The Palm Beach-to-New York flight
was purely private personal venture,
partly in demonstration Of capacity
of the plane used. The actual flying
time, was nine hours and fifty.six min
utes for a trip that takes sixty hours
by rail. The conditions were unpro.
pitious, the flyers being handicapped
by fog and rain, at times having to
descend to within twenty feet Of the
surf to avoid the mists.
1t cannot be doubted that in q few
years regular passenger service will
be maintained along definite routes

A Community Failure.

The appeal Of the Associated Chari-
ties for subscriptions from 10000
Washingtonians to meet the budget
OF $55.000 essential to carrying for
ward the society's vital work as
Washington's foremost family welfare
agency has failed to date. With less
than a half Of the 10000 members
signed up; with more than $4,000 of
the budget total still to be obtained,
Easter-the date set for closing the
campaign-has passed. and scores of
families dependent upon the society
for a chance to rehabilitate themselves
are still without the assurance of the
pity. and friendliness of their neigh
bors in their struggle.
What Is the matter with Washing
ton? Why should 1t be that in the
capital of the nation it Is found diff
cult to obtain support for perhaps
the most essential local welfare
agency from one in every forty Of our
citizenship. while out in Cleveland
more than one in every three of that

local welfare effort? Why should it
be that, having contributed hundreds
Of thousands of dollars in splendid

MARYLAND and Virginia,
The Ball Act Extended.

Although the vote Of the Senate to

ing the great tenant majority Of the
community, the popular reaction to
siderable enthusiasm. Nor is the pub.
lie apathy toward a decision which
upon its face bids high for the hearty
approval Of all who rent their homes
really difficult to understand. The
public is aware that the Ball rent act
will never prove a permanent solution
to the housing problem which con.
fronts the National Capital. They esti-
mate its extension as, at best, a means
to postpone the day when the natural
laws of economics rather than legisla-
tion admittedly artificial and Of dubi
Gus equity shall determine the rela.

that that postponement will probably

The Russo-German Treaty.

German and Russian delegates at
the Genoa conference doubtless
thought that very smart trick had
been played when 1t was announced
that a treaty suppianting that Of
Brest-Litovsk had been negotiated on
Sunday. but their elation over the ar
rangement taken secretly without the
knowledge of the allied powers is like
ly to be brief. For the immediate re-
action of the allies to this procedure
is one of sharp and indignant disap-
proval and the status Of Germany and
Russia at the conference is rendered
decidedly insecure In consequence.
OF course, Russia-that is to say the
bolshevik government at Moscow-and
Germany have right to enter into an
agreement or an alliance either in
italy or in replacement Of the make
shift treaty of Brest.Litovsk. But to
do so in secret. and in the midst of the
procedure at Genoa. with the Russians
asking for admission to the interna-
tionai councils, and with Germany a
tions to the allied governments. is an
affront amounting, as it has been al
ready explicitly expressed at Genoa.
to "treachery to Europe"
If the governments at Moscow and
Berlin believe that they are now
strong enough to unite in defiance Of
the other powers this move is perhaps
logical. But are they? Germany's
economic situation is still bad. and
Russia's is worse. 1t is but a short
step from economic defiance to mill
tary defiance if the spirit is willing.
But somehow it is impossible to see
either Russia or Germany in a bel
ligerent role. 1t is impossible certain
ly to see Germany, out of whatever
secret sources of armament and war
provision she may have maintained,
establishing herself with effective sud
denness upon a belligerent basis. Rus
sia's war machine is of extremely
doubtful quality, though it is effective
for the present in maintaining the
bolshevik power over disspirited,
disarmed, impoverished and starved
population.
The instant denunciation Of the
Russo-German action by the allied
leaders at Genoa was the natural re-
suit. 1t is perhaps as well, however.
that this has happened. Russia's pres
ence at Genoa was distasteful to many.
1t has been felt that perhaps certain
Of the European powers were moving
too quickly toward recognition Of the
soviet and the establishment Of rela-
tions with Moscow. Lenin's revisions
Of his radical program have been &C.
cepted perhaps at too high valuation
in terms of good faith. The compul-
sions of necessity have been given q
virtue they did not deserve. Now
comes the problem Of how to deal
separately or together with these gov
ernments. 1t is, of course. a distinctly
European problem. The United States
is not a party to the Genoa conference
and has no direct concern in this
latest manifestation of Russian and
German bad faith. But it is greatly
concerned on the score Of the worlds
restoration to health. 1t hopes that
out of this new 'crisis may come a
better understanding by Germany Of
it's obligations as defeated militant,
and by Russia of its duty in reorgani-
zation after the collapse Of it's great
experiment in cruel communism.

A Record Vote.

Chairman Madden of the House ap-
propriations committee wants. and has
arranged for, record vote on the in
crease of the naval force from $1,000
to $4,000. He is within his rights, and
all should aid him.
Why not. indeed, a record vote at
this session on every proposition OF
Importance? 1t is a good time for a
legislator to make record. Opportu-
mites are abundant. Only important
propositions are current.
There should be no lodging. no
qualifying. on anybody's part. The
country is expecting a good deal of
the present Congress. The card is
crowded. Never before has a Congress
had so many questions of consequence
presented to it. and never before has
so much depended on the solutions
Of questions.
And there is something more. This
Congress is inaugurating what IL good
the next Congress will be asked to
carry on. So that the legislator who
frankly takes position now will II re-
elected be a dependable man in future.
The characteristics he is now exhibit
ing he will exhibit whenever occasion
appears and calls.

as respects their courage and their
