YOU LEFT ME FREE
BY Angela Morgan.

" OU left me free, nor asked that there
should be
= One word to heal your hearts intensity;
Nor kiss nor vow you took, who worshiped
me
As strong crusaders worship Deity.
You left me free-ah, would your hands had
found
A hundred ways to hold me tightly bound!
You left me free-O dearest, could there be
A chain more cruel than your cold decree,
A sadder bondage than is left to me,
The utter slave of loves futility?
You left me free, nor knew that should 20
The fettered path the single-hearted knowl
You left me free. Oh strange you cannot see
The chains of loneliness that compass me!
And yet no welded soul more wed could be
Than to you whose word would set me
free.
O lovely prison of the hearts domain,
o envied fetters and beloved chain!
You left me free of all your hidden sighs.
Held back the leaping answer in your eyes
You masked your longing with a strange
disguise,
You closed the cleaning door of Paradise.
o lover of my heart, say not to mo
II left you freeP

Colonel Jeffrey went to this isolated parish to

he came out Of his house in the morning there
was a skull and cross bones on his door.
Another skull and cross bones appeared on his

~Building Operations
Outlook Encouraging
BY BILL PRICE.


There is fine encouragement for optimistic Wash
ingtonians in the rush Of applications being filed in
the Building Inspectors office for permits for build
ing operations in the District
For the month Of February 1922, 400 permits were
issued for building operations, including 167 NEW
BUILDINGS The total valuation Of the operations
was placed in the applications granted at 81 566979
For February, 1921, the figures were 45O permits,
including $50 new buildings, with the total valuation
~of $636,O26. Note the large increase in the valua-
tions OF the two months. It amounts to almost
100000.
For the first nine days of March the applications
number 13O, with valuation of $4,000. For the
entire month of March, 1921, the total valuation was
$1714,2s4.
Building Inspector HEALEY remarks: "The nor
NAL work of this department is far above that Of
any similar month in the past"
Farseeing Washingtonians are undeterred by
croaking and pessimism. The men who build on a
big scale do not expect that building materials will
decrease in cost for long time to come if at ALL or
that wages will appreciably fall. They sense the
steady demand for new houses of all kinds and they
propose to supply this demand. They do not even
feel that they taking chances Some Of the
shrewdest builders preparing plans for extensive
operations for which they have not filed applications
Inc same thing is true of the small home builder
who owns lot and is making ready to build upon it.
He has studied the situation obtained advice and is
going forward He understands rental conditions
too well to think that he will risk loss in starting his
own home NOW. He sees plainly that rents will not
decrease while houses scarce. He prefers to be
his own landlord and have something to look forward
to. The same view prevails with the man who does
not own lot, but does want to own a home He has
the money to invest in a home bought at reason
able profit And it is to supply these prospective
investors that builders and real estate men are get
ting all plans ready for healthy building boom in
the District.
There has never been time in the history of the
District when unimproved real estate could be
bought so low. And there will never be time when
it can be bought as cheap as now. The man who
waits for fall in the cost of construction will pay
more for the land he builds upon.
Ten years from now many sad but wiser folks will
remark: II could have bought that lot for -
and it sold the other day for twice that figure"
You can afford to have faith in Washington. It is
going forward to greater things. 1t will expand and
grow with the nation.
you think the future of this nation is good then
you can invest in the future Of the Nations Capital

MANILA PAPER REGRETS
OFFENDING GEN. WOOD

MANILA. March 2s.-The Philippine
Herald today printed an apology for
a cartoon in last Sundays edition
which represented Gov. Gen. Leonard
Wood thrpsting a dagger through
the heart of a Filipino woman per-
sonifying Philippine autonomy. The
Herald Is an English language news
paper. owned and conducted by Fill
pinos. In its apology the Herald
says:
'iThe Herald desires to make sin
cere avowal of the mistake made In
printing the c1xtoon Of last Sunday.
Articles and editorials published by
us are based upon the experience Of
countries in dealing
with safe-governing political units
and are inspired by the best Amer
lean and British constitutional and
political writers. The Herald stands
by the principles enunciated in these
articles and editorials. 1t believes its
position on the veto power is unas-
sailable, and it certainly deprecates
the use of the cartoon. which is evil
unjust to the governor gen.
eral The principle involved is too
precious to be marred by a cartoon,
the author OF which carried the
initial idea too far by giving 1t
CORY appearance. The improperly
Of running the cartoon Is admitted"
The Herald, as well as a number
Of vernacular newspapers, has criti-
cized Gov. Wood for using the veto
power, as they believe. too freely. OF
eighty-three bills passed by the last
legislature the governor vetoed six
teen.

Many of them, he said, use the
drugs to enliven their acts in the
shows. At least. that is what some
Of them tell him.
Il would not like to say that
prohibition is responsible for the
increase in the use of drugs" he
said. For one thing, the person
who has been a hard drinker sell
dom takes to drugs. except, in
some cases, where drunkards are
treated with drugs for delerium
tremens. In this way they some
times acquire the habit. It is
fact. however. that there has been
big increase in the use of drugs
in this district since prohibition
went into effect"
The narcotic agents here are on
the trail of a certain brand of
cigarette. which, they say. con-
tains dope" and is sold at con-
siderably higher price than the
average run of cigarettes. The
practice, they say. was started in
Philadelphia. For many months
the government men were unable
to get on to the particular brand
of cigarettes containing the
cocaine, heroin or whatever is put
into them, but finally they learned
, the name, and the sale of them
was stopped. And they expect to
do the same here.
