RICHARD LLOYD JONES
SAYS ST@~I
Be A Leader

What a man does to help IT harm himself is of little concern to
the world, but what he does to help or harm the many is of much con-
Germ.
Edward Everett Hale told us that many a "fathead. has gained
a reputation for being safe" simply because he didn't have brains
enough to play anything else but safe" To illustrate. he tells of
a man he knew who acquired a local reputation for virtue among the
thoughtess because he was always telling how careful he was to pro-
tct his own body from alcoholic and other harms. Among the same
people he established a reputation for wisdom because in the legislative
chambers where he held a seat he confined his public utterances to two
speeches, one, There has been 81 much said and so well said that l can
add nothing; the other, II quite agree with the gentleman O the other
side of the house."
Very broad, liberal and convincing, this chapi
Put negative goodness on the scale that weighs virtue and you will
find the index finger on the dial has not left zero. The virtue that
weighs has force. passion, fire, resolution. determination, GO.
Virtue is measured by ones eagerness to save not alone himself
but others, not to keep himself alone in the channel of the stream but
to bring the driftwood of the edges into the current IS well.
The makers of progress r they who try to help other progress.
A mediocre mind a say, me too" A weak mind can say. 81
DON'T 1t takes a great man to hold a great idea and to lift it up
all may see it,
Progress is not affected by the dereict but by the driver in whose
heart is found the passion not for one mans preservation but for all
mems. not for advantage, but for Justice; who is not concerned about
what the world may think of him but about what he thinks of the world.
who is eager to do for others rather than have Others do for him.

Washing Blankets When washing
blankets remember it is important
to keep all the rising waters the same
rinsing waters should be soapy if you
wish to keep the blankets light and
fluffy.
Scorching-Here is a new one
that is, a new one on me, but as re-
CARDS its working ability that | am
sure of. If an article has been
scorched while ironing, wet with cold
water and lay where the sun will
shine quickly on it. The mark will
soon vanish.
Paint Paint, no matter how old,
may be removed from cloth if this
secret is followed. Apply olive oil
first (enough to soften the paint and
then drop on some chloroform.
Dates-Paper which has dried On
dates may easily be removed if the
package of dates are put in an oven
which is of medium hot tempera-
ture.
Photograph Records-A friend
had some photograph records which
had become very soiled. She was
about to give them up as hopeless
when l suggested trying some alcohol
with a soft cloth. She rubbed each
N gently and they are now as good
as new.
Brass Beds-The brass On beds
may be cleaned if it is rubbed with
a mixture of salt and vinegar or salt
and lemon juice. When it has become
bright wash with soap and water, then
dry. If vaseline is then rubbed on,
it will prevent their furnishing for
quite some time.
Oil Cloth-If the oil cloth OF the
kitchen table is pasted on instead of
being tackled it will not crack, wrin-
kle, and wear longer. Flour is good
to use for the paste.
Cleaning Silver-Try the follow
ing next time you clean your silver,
and believe you will always continue
to use it. Boil the silver in an alumni
mum pan into which has been shaved
almost a quarter of a bar of ivory
soap and add a tablespoon of table
salt. Boil for ten minutes, rinse with
hot water, and then dry. This is said
to be harmless, save labor, and make
the silver look like new.

SALE Of C0LORED
HOME TAKEN Up.
House Subcommittee Will In
vestigate Proposal in New
Legislation.

A special subcommittee OF the House
District committee. consisting of Rep
resentativcs Zihlman of Maryland,
Sproul of Illinois and Blanton of Texas,
was authorized today to consider the
question of disposal of the property at
Sth and Euclid streets now owned and
occupied by the National Association
for Relief of Destitute Colored Women
and Children, which property Howard
University is .dcsirous of acquiring. +.
Rev. J. Milton Waldron, pastor of
Shiloh Baptist Church, who asked the
committee on Wednesday that action
on this legislation be delayed, said
today that as the bill now stands he
has no objection and hopes that it
will become law. Speaking as a
former trustee of the home, he said
that the desire is to allow tho asso-
citation to dispose of this property,
which il finds too largo for its work,
without being bound to dispose of it
to Howard University. if it can get
better purchaser.
Too Large for Needs.
Mrs. NJ. l.. Mertwcther vice presl-
dent. and Mrs. Caroline w. Harris,
treasurer OF the institution and for
mer member of the board of educa-
tion, told the committee that this
needs, because, while for many years
it received direction appropriation
from Congress. it now receives an
allowance indirectly from the board
of charities, which commits only a
small number of children to it's care.
Representative Blanton and Repre-
sentative Woodruff of Michigan in
sisted that in the proposed legislation
not only the rights of the United
states government. which gave this
association its original property, but
also the purposes for which the as
sociation was incorporated by act of
Congress in 1863. must be protected
The question was referred to a
subcommittee on motion of Repre-
sentative Zihlman in order that the
subcommittee might consider care
fully the interests of this associa-
tion of the dependent women and
children whom IL serves, to assure
its continued operation and also to
consider the purposes of the govern
ment and the interests Of Howard
University.
Chairman Focht of the District
committee, and Representative Blan-
ton, both assured the women appear
ing as representatives of the home
that the interests of the dependent
women and children would be given
most sympathetic consideration.
