Letters to Lovers
Marrying a Home
BY WINONA WILCOX.

above writer.
Life certainly has its compensa-
tions or balances. Since the man
married the woman for a home. why
should she not prove Disappointing
ly cold?
Since he married her while low
ing another, what particular senti-
mental claim has he upon ker?
None at all-and yet he makes her
natural reaction to the situation an
excuse for his own philanderingl
It seems as n fate had treated
the prudent gentleman justly; and It
also appears that the above writer
is wasting a good affection upon an
unworthy man. for the gentleman"
who marries a woman for a home is
capable OF any kind OF treachery to
any other woman.

spected his wife. but found Il inn
possible to love her. but he hoped to

But time didn't help much. Six
months later he called me over the
phone and insisted that 1 lunch

'srhen he told me he was the most
wretched man in existence. He said
that he never could forget how
happy he had been when we were
engaged. and that his wife was un-

making money.

I'll give my land for a factory

tributing 1t for a hobo camp,
George n. Palmer. of Seat Pleasant

reply to the report that a plot OF
land belonging to Palmer would be
converted into a summer camp for
hoboes by Doc" l.. r. Shea. former
secretary of the Washington Hoboes
Union.
Evidently Shea and Palmer are
victims of a misunderstanding. Not
long ago Palmer circulated a report
says his representative. which off
cred plot OF ground in Seat
Pleasant to any concern which would
build a manufacturing plant here
on, preferably one employing D. c
workmen.
"A few days ago. while Mr.. Pal
mer was in an important confer
ence, a man called and declared HI
wanted to talk with hin, about hi.
offer" Wiman said in behalf ot
Palmer. Il don't know whether Il
was Shea or not, who called, bu
the man was representing Shea's in
terests, anyway. I want to brint
out few disabled veterans anC
give them jobs mending chairs
etc" he said.
Mr.. Palmer was busy. so he tolt
the man alright. to come out latei
and he would arrange the thinl
definitely and turn over the deec
OF ground for the veterans.
Now Wednesday a story came
out saying a troupe of hoboes were
preparing to establish headauarteri
In Seat Pleasant on Mr.. Palmer's
property.
Palmer has no intention OF Civ
ing the use of his ground to 6
company Of hoboes and tramps
However. he says his offer Of q

REFORM Of
CHARITIES
LAW Al N
Retention of Industrial Home
For Children One Plank
In Platform.

Organization of a central citi-
zens' body, composed of repre-
sentatives of all important civic,
women's and reform organiza-
tions in Washington, with a view
to bettering conditions of child
wards Of the District, today was
begun by q group of women
prominent in local welfare work.
The movement has spread to all
sections of the city and inquiries
as to local conditions, volunteer
ing aid, have been received from
out-of-town experts on child care.
The chief aim Of the proposed or.
ganization, leaders believe, will be
accomplished only by a concerted
and strenuous campaign. Revision
Of laws governing the Administra.
ton OF District charities will be
sought of Congress at the next ses.
sion, and efforts will be made to in
terest the President and the Cabinet
further in the work.
Perfection of the organization will
represent, II was stated, the crystal
lization Of public opinion against the
present treatment accorded depend
ent District children. The ammuni-
ton of this battle against the in.
humanity of red tape will be prin.
cipally in the form Of proof OF the
inefficiency and more serious sins OF
omission and commission attributed
to the responsible agencies. 1t was
said.
While the new body will function
independently Of all municipal bu-
reaus, II will cooperate to the full.
est extent with the Commissioners In
their investigation of conditions In
paid homes used by the Board OF
Children's Guardians. The work
which the organization expects to
see through to a successful conclu.
sion, summarized, Is:
Summary OF Aims.
1. Humane, common-sense treat
ment Of children by the Board Of
Children's Guardians. - -
2. Retention Of the Wisconsin
Avenue Industrial Home School as
a receiving home for dependent
children, under such terms as the
guardians board and the school
board shall agree upon between
themselves.
8. Reform Of the law creating
the Board Of Children's Guardians.
BY placing that body under ade.
quate supervision and by, In some
measure, curtailing the almost alb
solute power granted 1t by Con-
gress.
4. Revision of laws governing the
administration of charities in the
District. following a thorough in
vestigation Of charitable agencies by
officials duly authorized to make
such inquiry.
s. Study of the juvenile court
law and other laws affecting chill
dren in the District. with the ex-
pressed purpose Of taking offense-
less boys and girls from the juris-
diction Of impersonal courts.
