you: What was your reason?
Love. most likely. For ths
divine passion Is never con-
tent with mere mortal prose.
Though any enc knows that
even the simple words IT love
you" constitute the loveliest
lyric which human tongue can
utter and Other human ears
receive.
Some who dc not habituaIly
poetize are nDved to occa-
sional verse BY patriotic ar
dor, by enthusiasm for a
cause, or by the contempla-
ton of an OCCASION. a rela-
tionship, or a person, that
fairly insists upon some ele-
waited form Of uterance.
But you never can tell who
will break out or where or
when or why, seeking the i'm
mortal laurel q Shakespeare,
Dante. Homer, or the author
Of Job.
We all seem 10 be in danger
OF emulating that quaint char.
acter in Dickens known as
Sammy Weller. who was so
prone to drop into verse.

THE great poets are they

You are saddest when they
sing.
But even those singers think
that they are blessing you
with concourse Of sweet
sounds. And such poets. too,
(save the divine hallmark
imagine that they are sharing
with you the latest inspiration
from Apollo and the Muses..
However, one should not be
unsympathetic toward any
humblest result from this
yielding to the general poetic
impulse. For this relates the
aspiring versifier to Shake
speare and his strain.
Even as your every original
and serious thought proves
your kinship to Plato's brain.
And your every friendly word

What Good Is
There in Einstein?

NE of the best books on Elm
stein is "Einstein and the
" Universe" by Charles Nord-
mann. Nordmann is an astronomer
of Paris.
The book is we'll and clearly writ
ten. Most people think that Elm
stein is somewhere in the clouds
and that there is nothing practical
about him. NJ. Nordmann points out
that the contrary is the case. Elm
stein is always thoroughly practical.
His theory derives its strength
from its systematic disdain Of all
that is beyond phenomena, all that
cannot fall under experimental OBJ
servation."
The average man asks What is
the good of it all, even when l
have studied and adopted Einstein s
theoryi"
In a nutshell, the answer is that
the good of it is that it works. 1t
explains discrepancies which under
old theories were inexplicable. So
in mathematics, even as in all life,
it is often the most mysterious, COM
plcated and intricate thing that is
the most practical.

Such q Gay Season

4 CCORDING to our ever-inter-
n esting correspondent, G. F.
IA Bertelli, the gay Paris sea
son is over. 1t ended with the
Grand Prix race at Longchamps.
Here are some of the sights that Mr..
Bertelli saw at this race:
Young girls with painted stripes
on their bare shoulders to carry out
the designs Of the dresses they
wore.
Maud Lott, an eccentric French
woman, with a watch fastened to
the back Of her neck. Either some
one had to tell her the time or she
was compelled to emulate the India
rubber men at the circus.
Andre de Fouquieres in formal
morning dress with white tennis
trousers and a tall white hat.
Pierre des Moulins with a dia-
mond and sapphire anklet and with
pencil marks to take the place of
his eyebrows and mustache.
Just now France hasn't The
money to pay us any part of the
millions she owes us. Not even the
interest, in fact.
And to think that this gay season
is over. What a pity! We would
suggest that Mr.. Bertelli use his in
fluence with the authorities and
have the season extended indefi-
nitely.

Rock Creek
.ParkUean-up
BY BILL PRICE.

Colonel SHERRILL has a deli
cate and unwelcome job ahead OF
him in trying to free Rock Creek
Park from immoral and immodest
behavior in the evenings. His first
order, requiring automobile parties
to keep moving was met by stren-
uous objections that respectable
people use the park on warm eve
nings for pleasure outings, and
that the order was unjust to them.
The order has been modified so
that the officers in the park will
attempt to free it from undesir-
ables who use it for purposes for
which it was not intended.
Old-fashioned spooning goes on
all over the world, and there are
few cities where officials ever mo-
lest the young folks who, in Sc
cluded places, hold hands and
caress within limitations that would
not bring a squeal except from the
most confirmed Of old maids and
those who seek to reform human
nature and the world.
1t was not just plain spooning
that caused Colonel Sheriff. to
frame drastic regulations to make
the park a fit place for respectable
people. The night reputation of
the park was getting to be any
thing but the best, and the moral
sentiment Of the community de-
manded betterment Of conditions.
The improprieties complained of
were not wholly confined to auto
mobilists, as the park is sought by
many pedestrians. The purposes Of
the new regulations apply to all
visitors.
Rock Creek Is a public park,
open to all, and there should be
complete suppression of incidents
that shock the sensibilities Of nor
NAL people who are not hypercrit-
ical and not constantly seeking to
regulate the personal conduct of
others in the most trivial affairs.
The wives and daughters of Wash
ington people who visit the park
should not be compelled to witness
disgusting occurrences.
The opposition which the first
regulations encountered is par
TALLY accounted for by the fact
that Washington is overloaded with
regulations of all sorts, and it
is almost impossible for an ordi-
nary citizen to turn around without
butting into one. They are to be
met with from the regular police
department and from the park po-
lice under Colonel Sheriff., who is
saddled with so many duties it is
almost impossible for him to keep
in detailed touch with the park
police and the lack of broad
mindedness often shown by them.
The enforcement Of Colonel Sher-
rill's regulations ought to have a
good effect in the park. 1t will
drive many of those having i'm
moral aims in view to the country
roads and secluded places else
where in the District, where the
city police will have opportunity to
display their abilities.
Better than all orders and regu-
lations, however, would be the de-
Termination of mothers and fathers
to know where their daughters are
in the evenings and with whom
they are associating. Wrong doing
should meet its first resistance in
homes. Those parents who are
able to control their sons and
daughters at home and who exer-
else sensible supervision over their
goings and comings at night are
the ones who have least to fear.

An American, as King

~ HE Albanian people are look
ing for a king. They prefer
Il a foreigner to rule over them,
either a titled Briton or a wealthy
American. We could easily spare
some retired multi-millionaire to
play that outworn role for them.
But better still would be a substan-
tial, wise and practical man who
could teach them the working ele-
ments of democracy.
