WASHINGTON, May 23-The
3Oth of May this year will be mark
ed by a ceremony of interest TO the
whole nation, and one unique in
the history of the United States.
When the Lincoln Memorial here is
dedicated on that date the President
of the United States, two former
Presidents, and the sons of still two
other former Presidents will be
present. President Harding. Will
liam Howard Taft and Woodrow
Wilson Will take part in the cere-
monies. There will also be present
Robert Lincoln, son OF the great
Lincoln, and Assistant Secretary of
the Navy Theodore Roosevelt, son
of the Industrious man OF the same
name who occupied the White House
for almost Two terms.
Beyond all question, the Lincoln
Memorial is the most beautiful
work in marble yer undertaken
on this side of the world. 1t will
take rank with the Library of Con-
gress, the Washington monument.
the White House, and the Capitol as
a point of interest for visitors to
Washington in the future.
Immediately upon entering main
portal the heroic statue of Lincoln
Is seen. The figure is seated but
because of its enormous proportions
it is 22 feet high. 1t is the work of
Daniel Chester French, noted Amer
lean sculptor. Had Mr.. French elect
ed TO portray Lincoln standing, the
figure would have lowered 3S feet
IN the air.
The marble for the atu was
brought from Georgia, and in the
rough weighed no less than 427
tons. Twenty-eight great blocks of
this fine grade of stone were used.
and in the completed statue weigh
rs ons The sections of the statue
were cut in the marble in the yards
Of the six Piccirilli brothers in New
York city. A score of marble cut
tiers were kept busy for IS months
completing the work, which was
then transported to Washington in
sections.
The model made by Mr.. French
was only five feet high. From this
perfected piece of sculpture, the
marble cutting art made possible
the enormously enlarged marble re-

Louis, one of Americas foremost
painters. Mr.. Guerin for some years
past has made his home in New
York, and the paintings for the me-
mortal were done in his studio

THE MAIL MAN

THE RACE HORSE I saw him Prancing on the course, His satin coat Threw back the glare Of monday sun, His full black mane Was rippling in the summer breeze Like graceful breakers On a pebble beach, And tense-faced groomsmen Watched him keen. Alert to every whim and notion. They petted him
 As though he were of royal blood And as he proudly pranced along His every graceful motion Told the tale or power and pride and mastery. And cool-eyed men gave orders, quick, And ill-kept rubber boys eyed; They slipped the bridle OCT His holding head And girded up the saddle small, And sponged his mouth And looked within his nostrils That trembled And told the tale of thoroughbred. And then placed thin-faced boy Upon his back
 Who sat astride Like monkey riding on stick. ~And soon before the barrier With several others of his breed He reared and tossed And sought to gain some vantage. As though he understood this world
 old game Of man.
 Then off. like darting lightnins
 streak
 He takes the lead and holds it, Though straining runners try in vain To neck and neck him: Then plunging home, foaming fiend. He seems to sense the proud distinc-
 ton
 That is his.
 A careless duffer gets too close To flying heels And lies a bloody. tattered heap Upon the ground. unnoticed. And soon within his royal stall, All swathed in soft wool blankets He stands the hero of the hour, And seems to know it. Soon fed and rubbed and humored As night comes on he sinks to rest Within his cozy quarters. While on the ground outside his
 keeper lies Thus sleep the man and beast.

| NOTED STARS IN
 CAST, THE CIRCLE

'TThe Circle from the pen of Somerset Vaughan, which was tho rage in London for one year at the Haymarket' theatre. and one year in Paris. When the Vaughan comedy was presented last season at the Sel- wyn theatre it was pronounced the best that the metropolis had seen in years and the critics were unanimous in proclaiming it "a comedy gem"
 The Circle" was an instantaneous success and ran the entire season in New York to capacity business. The Seiwyns have cast the play in a grand manner, assembling five of the most prominent stars to present it on tour. In summoning Wilton Lackaye to the role of Lord Porteous, they have had the good fortune to find an actor not only famous but fit. Henry E. Dixey is another whose name means much to any play; Amelia Bingham, warm favorite with play goers for excellent work in the past; Charlotte Walker, always welcomed for her clever work, and Norman Hackett, favorite of long standing. go to make up a superb cast

The greatest art in the world Is the art of letting other people alone, for it requires a sense of justice. and a superhuman forbearance and self control to which few mortals ever attain.
 It is this mania for bossiny other people that has given us the pest of reformers who have devoured almost the last of our personal liberties. and who make laws telling us what we shall eat. and what we shall drink. what we shall wear. how long our skirts shall be, whether we shall have babies or not and how we shall bring up our children. It is the collective busybodies, male and female, who are the curse of the modern world, and especially of America. where they exist in numbers unknown elsewhere. Occasionally you see a man who is letting his fellow creatures live their own lives in peace without any inter- ference, and who considers that other people have right to manage their woman who doesn't think that she has a divine call to run the universe lis such a rarity that she could draw good money in side show as . freak of nature.
 Somehow, for some inexplicabis reason, no woman can see anybody else making a pie without having an irresistible impulse to put her finger into it, although she is perfectly well aware before she does SO, that she will not only spoil the pie. but burn her own finger to the bone, into the bargain.
 It is woman's inability to mind her own business, and let other people mind theirs. that is at the bottom of most of the troubles of which she complains.
 It is the real crux of the servant question. for one thing. Women arc always wondering why 1t is that their husbands can keep the. same ste- nographers and bookkeepers and clerks. year after year, while they have constant procession of maids in and out of the kitchen. The reason is that a man explains the work that he wishes done to female employe, and thon lets her go ahead and do 1t in her own way He is concerned stand over her, and interfere with every move she makes. Nor does he arrogate to himself the right to tell her what she shall wear out of busi- ness hours, what beaux she shall have, and where she shall go.
 His wife, on the contrary, stands over her female employe, and nags her to death. She tells her the same thing over million times, and con- siders that she has right to inter- fere in every detail of tho girls private life. Wherefore tho girl leaves when the inquisition gets too great to be borne.

NEXT: A SHAMELESS AGE NEXT, 4 SHAMELESS AGE
 By FLORENCE DAVIES


 The reign of the slipper and the hair brush has been challenged. X Brooklyn judge has declared that parents have perfect right to beat the young.
 The Brooklyn clubwomen say they haven't the right--or If they have. any law which gives them such a right Is an atiquated, out-grown. dis graceful relic of the middle ages.
 Which is right? That Is hard to say. As is usual with such discuss sions in truth probably lies some where in the middle ground.
 The case which started all the trouble was that of an 11year-old boy In Brooklyn, N. Y, who was found tied to wash tub where he had been beaten with the buckle end of strap. His parents were arrested and called into court. The justice who tried the case declared that parents had an inherent right to The clubwomen of Brooklyn came The club women of Brooklyn came right back and said that parents didn't have such right-and that ishment 'is brutal--makes children worse not better--makes child de- ceitful-is apt to injure him physical ly has no precedents in nature, since animals de not punish their young"
 Now as to the animals, the women aren't quite right. Animals do pun ish their young, and in fact the only way they do 1t Is by terrorizing them with a show of superior strength. But that isn't necessarily an argument for or against corporal punishment for children. Neither is the right to punish the young with stick or a strap a reason for doing it.
 We have right to do great many things we do not do. We have

 The filling: In cup full of sugar mix thoroughly heaping table spoonful and one half of flour. Crate the skin of one lemon and add the juice. Then add the yollSs of two eggs and a cup of water, also a pinch of salt. Stir this thoroughly, all to- sether. Put into double boiler and let it cook until 1t Is thick and smooth. Then pour it into the cooked pie crust. Add teaspoonful of water to the whites of the eggs and pinch of salt. Then beat until stiff. Cover your pie with this mixture and then sprinkle granulated sugar on top of the meringue. Don't mix the sugar and the meringue. Put under the broiler to brown.
 The crust: Mix two good sized tablespoonfuls of lard with one and half cups of flour Mix this with your fingers thoroughly, until it feels Ike corn meal. although much larger. Add ice water until the mixture holds together then roll on a floured board. In baking the crust for a lemon pie. either puncture the crust all over with fork or bake it on the out side of your pie tin. This will keep 1t from creeping.

perfect right to walk on our hands or wear dinner gowns to breakfast. But we do not do these things, be- cause they are stupid.
 And it's more stupid to be cruel than 1t is to be ridiculous.
 It isn't question of right at all. is 1t? It's a question of duty. Both tile parents and the state have a duty to the child. Their duty Is to give it the best possible chance to develop it's fullest powers. If beating with buckled strap Is good for child. that settles it. If 1t isn't good for a child. the parents inherent right to punish their own" doesn't enter into the case.
 As a matter of fact cruelty was never good for anybody. The argu- ment of the animals which the women use is the very one we need to point the way. Because a puppy can't understand an argument. his parent may give him a scare. Be- cause a small child cannot under stand reason, sting1ng sensation associated with a certain dangerous action may serve as wholesome reminder.
 But beating an individual who has developed an understanding mind is simply fighting flame with oil.

them of either the wife's mother or the husbands mother. Statistics show that the mother-in-law causes more divorces than drunkenness, infidelity, or any other cause of domestic strife.
 The most fiendish home wrecker could do no more harm than those women accomplish. and yet 99 times out of 100 they are the very salt of the earth. They are good. kind women. They have been noble, and self sacrificing mothers. and they adore their children and would cheer fully die to secure their happiness.
 There is just one sacrifice too big for them to make. and that is to let them live their lives In their own way. There is just one height to which they cannot rise. and that is to let them manage their own busi- ness. For the joy of interfering, and bossing their children's homes, they are willing to break up that home. wreck a marriage that would have endured but for them, and orphan their helpless little grandchildren. This is putting the matter brutally. but 1t is the brutal truth and tits pitifully true because it need not be true.
 l% If mother could only make up her mind to keep her hands off her chii- dren's affairs, she would be a well come, and not an unwelcome inmate in their homes. But she can't do it. She is bound to interfere. She can not see daughters husband eat what he likes without telling him how bad 1t is for his stomach. She can't per- init him to smoke without warning him that he will wreck his nerves. She can't let him go out nights with out asking where he is going.
 She can't let sons wife cook the way she wants to, nor run hor house after her own ideas. Daughter-in- law can't buy new dress with out mother-in-law saying something about extravagance. She can't go to bridge party without mother-fn- lew reminding her that she Is neg lecting her children. She can't bring up her children in her own way. nor do a single thing on earth without having to combat endless objections of mother -in-law, and offer endle ss explanations, and 1t gets on daughter in-law's nerves, and there are fracases tl.at leave both women miserable and bitter, and makes the son and hus- two cats were fighting over.
 In countless homes today old wom- en are weeping because they know their children don't want them. To these I offer a sovereign remedy for the situation. It is: Mind your own business. Quit interfering in your cLildren's affairs. That will settle the whole problem.
