Something to

LARKS ARE SINGING
By F. Il. WALKER

ITO THOSE hopeful individuals who

Utopia. glinting like gold In the far-off
dreamy distance. give thought to the
golden rule and put Its fine precepts
into actual practice, the larks are al
ways singing.
These humans have their trials and
difficulties. "even AS you and l." hut

They go about their duties, however
discourRging they may seem. with .
cheerfulness that gives inspiration TO
the discOntented and fsult-finding
souls. frequently losing their way and
falling In the mire Of despair.
They know intuitively when to speak
and when to curb their tongues, for
they have learned the most diiiicult Of
all arts. the art Of self-cOntroi, which
the venerable ssEes will tell you II the
FIRST stepping stone to worldly success
and an enduring happiness.
Hope never deserts them. even in
their darkest hours.
She holds her biaxing torch over her
hend and bids them follow.
SO the gloom Of somber night 10
transformed to day. and the trusting
disciples move from place TO place. con.

glorious sunlight.
The world owes n debt of gratitude
to these optimistic people which II

We brush aside the weak In our pur.

under our hnsty feet. never stopping
TO look back to see whether We have
hurt them. We forget that We Nil are

DUTIES EXPLAINED
James B. Scott Tells Washington
Study How U. S. Conducts
Foreign Affairs.

United States was explained by James
Brown Scott, founder of the Carnegie
Foundation for International Peace.
in an address before the Washington
Study at n meeting in the Federation
of Women'S Clubs headquarters, 1884
y street yesterday.
He told how. just after the revolu-
ton, the foreign affairs of the United

tee on foreign affairs. This, he eX-
plained. was supplanted by secre-
tary of foreign affairs.
Mr.. Scott explained how these of
fees eventually led to the formation
of Department of State The office
of Secretary. of State. he said. started
very humbly. At first there was only
the Secretary of State and his secre-
tary. and the former received only a
salary Of $4,000 a year. he continued.
He said that d strong" President
conducts the affairs of state, where
as another President depends more
on the Secretary of state.
In conclusion he said. IL a change
in diplomacy is desired, or a new
wanted. there is no need
of changing the officials of the De-
sary in that case, he continued. is TO
get the President to issue instructions
to the Secretary of State.
Mr.. Scott also explained briefly
the part played by Robert r. Living
ston and John Adams in conducting
the foreign affairs of the United

MOTHER DENIES BOY
TRIED TO KILL SELF
Samuel Carroll, 13, Kept Under
Observation at Emergency
Hospital.

Samuel Carroll. thirteen. of 440 eth
street southwest. who was dragged
out of the tidal basin in Potomac
Park yesterday morning, was still in
bed in Emergency Hospital late yes
terday, suffering from the shock and
exposure of his plunge into the cold
water. Physicians at Emergency said
that his physical condition did not
warrant his detention there, but that
there was a desire to observe his case,
his record showing a fractured skull
earlier in life.
There was a confused understand
ing yesterday as to how the young
boy happened to fall into the basin.
Police officials maintained that a note
written by him and found by nurse
maid stated that his body would be
found in the water and explained that
his difficulties at school accounted for
this step.
This story was denied definitely
yesterday by his mother. Mrs. Connie
H. Carroll, at her home and later at
the hospital by the boy himself.
Young Carroll first told the police
that he walked into the basin while
looking into the sky at an airplane.
Later he said that he just slipped in
while standing on the wet ledge that
runs beside the basin.
