f<vIN HERE is song somewhere, my dear, sang
the sweet poet Riley. Let us venture little
further and say that there is song every
where, if we have the attuned to it.
The cultured musicians will tell you that what the
masters sing in their strange and complex studies the
highest music to those who trained to appreciate it.
But the simple heart finds the harmony in the simple,
lowy melodies.
What to the class is purest music is to the other
meaningless noise If just knew how to listen
could love the songs of each
To many the jingle of money is the finest music in the
world. And to some the melody Of their own names
spoken in praise is the only music worth hearing. The
ears of these to open inward. The greedy and
the vain shrink their whole world to their own size.
But to those who hear it there is song in every
phase of life. Fortunate is he who may hear more than
very few
The whistles of the factories the rumble of the trains
and the rattle of trucks and in the busy streets
are claimant discord only those who hear in
them the magnificent orchestration of ndustry-the over
ture to civilization.
The cries of and the walls of despair are hdeous
frighfu sounds except to those who respond with
sympathy that blends into symphony of broherly love
and makes music so sweet that the angels in heaven
must lean and listen.
! Sonatas fine and melodies simple and sweet
are in every sound from human soul for all who can
hear Alright and whose hearts thrill with under
standing and sympathy
Not all the great hymns chanted through raceried
windows, while Lazarus lies at the doorstep, for never
dviner song ascend to join the celestial choir than when
one mans hand meets anoher's helpfully
There is ever song, somewhere-everywhere-if
will but help to sing it,

TO Make Washington
More Beautiful.
BY BILL PRICE.

We're asked by our city fathers to make this week
real cleanup week in every part of Washington,
and there are so many reasons why we should do so,
and why we should make the week mean something,
that 1T is hardly necessary to urge them upon the
people of a community who love their city and CO.
operate in every way to add to it's world wide pres
tige for beauty.
\ Steamships and railroads bringing people here
by the thousands every week-strangers who want to
look upon the much heraded beauty of the National
Capital, view its stately and historic buildings, its
broad and clean avenues and streets. At least one
railroad is conducting extensive advertising
paign to bring people here
How much more beautiful will the city look to the
stranger entering its gates if every householder will
cooperate in making his her premises look neat
and tidy, removing rubbish of all kinds putting paint
here and there, planting flowers in the yards and
Frightening all sides' And great will be the de-
light and pleasure of home people, proud of their
town; if on all sides they note that home folks
working to spread the glad hdings that beautiful
Washington awaits all corners, with her face washed
her shoes polished and her prettiest dress
We needn't stop with one weeks cleanup, either
Let the spirit of clean up-week pervade throughout
the year, that you may be truly able to tell every
body that "Washngton never looked more beaut
full than it did this year"
The largest influx of visitors is generally in Easter
week and through May and June, when nature joins
the architectural and other wonders of the National
Capital in putting the best foot forward. During
Easter week many schools and colleges throughout
the country bring students here in immense numbers,
that they may enjoy the inspiratona and educational
benefits found nowhere else in this broad land These
Young people the nation future citizens, and the
impressions they take away with them may be Of
great Importance to the future of Washington. Let
them know that Washingtonians have much pride
in the Nations Capital that they join, individually
and collectively, in keeping their homes and yards
pretty.

Blessing of
GruciOuSneSS
NERVOUSNESS is the kind


opposite of flattery and servility.
| Any common person may be
polite and considerable when he
is afraid or when he has some
thing to gain by it.
Graciousness is that consider
alton which is displayed by those
who have nothing to gain by it.
1t is the pure adornment of a
superior nature.
The literal meaning of the
word "grace" is that it is a
shining" That is to say, it is
the natural goodwill of a person
shining through his speech and
manner.
1t is one of the best tests of
good breeding.
1t is the sign Of earth's true
aristocracy, just as brusqueness.
domineering and tyranny are the
signs Of innate vulgarity.
Graciousness is subtle charm
that renders its possessor attrac-
tive.
Most of us want the affection
and esteem Of those with whom
we have to do-not only our
neighbors and social acquaint-
ances, but the butcher, the baker,
the iceman, the janitor and the
housemaid. And the price we pay
in order to get ourselves sur
rounded by the goodwill of these
people is graciousness.
Graciousness is not benevolence,
for it contains no element of
superiority.
1t is not condescension nor
patronage.
1t is simply kindly and genuine
good will and it shines from our
heart through our actions and
speech upon those around us.
| Graciousness is much more
common in the Orient than it is
in the West. 1t seems to be a
late product in the life of a
people.
The person who thinks that
graciousness is not worth while
and that he has no time to bother
about it causes himself a great
deal of trouble. He will find that
his life moves with a good deal
of friction, as an automobile
would go without oil.
Those who are inherently sell
fish and vulgar accept gracious
ness as a sign Of weakness and dc
not hesitate to take advantage OF
it. Very often if you are gracious
} to an employe he will proceed tc
. reward you by neglecting his
work, and if you are gracious tc
; a merchant he will overchargt
you, and if you are gracious to 6
man with whom you do business
, he will either think that vol
have designs upon him or set yor
down as a fool
Woman, especially, whose power
2 lies in her charm, needs gracious
| ness, and many a beautiful Of
gifted woman finds herself gener
) ally disGked simply because sh,
neglects this.
Graciousness is not somethins
that you can put on or off at will
1 The secret Of it lies in your innel
) thought and in your real DISPOSE
r ton. If it is there you need hav,
no fear that in some way or otheI
it will shine out.

Justice Not
for the Men
Theological
n HE Federal Government at
Washington made an admis-

is to (l) halt production OF the
chief necessity of our industrial
life, and (2) throw 100000 soft
coal miners out of the small
amount of work which they en-
joyed in 1921, in the damnably
mismanaged coal industry.
The primary blame for the ma
tional calamity that is to fall on
us rests on the bituminous coal
operators in the dominant Central
Competitive Field. They are re
sponsible for the strike of the
100000 bituminous coal miners,
because they-the Operators-re-
fuse to carry out their signed
agreement to confer with the
miners regarding renewal of the
contract between the two, expiring
!. April l.
Instead of observing their
agreement for such conference,
the coal operators announce a
wage cut of 80 per cent, carrying
miners wages down about to the
level of 1917. Of course, the
miners can stay at work if they
accept this wage cut. But the
operators contractually agreed
not to attempt any wage change
without comforting with the
miners.
Meantime the paid propagan>
dists of the coal operators run
about the country telling Cham
bers of Commerce how high is
the daily wage of the miner.
They omit to state that for years
he has worked on the average 200
out of 800 working days, and
that in 1921 few miners got $50
days work. 1t is a mad and
senseless industry, organized with
about the efficiency that actuates
a mob escaping from burning
building.
Before a House committee,
, Ethelbert Stewart, statistician of
the Department of Labor, showed
that miners in the chief bitumi-
nous districts earn ST $50 a year
on the average, while the aver
age cost of living for miners
family is $1.7O5. That's nothing
to the operators. REDUCE
WAGES, they say.
Well, the first blame for the
strike is on the operators, what
ever comfort that is to us, the
public. It's little comfort enough
But after all the operators are
not supposed to represent US. The
Attorney General is.
Why doesn't he get an injunc-
ton ordering the mine owners
to carry out their contract, con
fer and try to avert this strike
The Department of Justice
knows well enough how to use the
injunction to terminate Goa
strike. In 1919 the Government
removed its wartime restrictions
on coal prices. Up they shot, ano
unheard-of profits were taken
Miners thought their wages nigh
be raised, too. They struck. Al
injunction forbade their leaders
sending messages to them Of
otherwise conducting the strike
They crept back to work.
Why not an injunction now, Mr.
Daugherty' A legal quibbler il
your department might say thai
only the specific parties to the
contract-miners and operators
could obtain an injunction to en-
force the contract. But your minC
is larger than that. You lool

to this contract, affecting the pro
duction of our chief public utility
