What is important is that children

that because they yield nothing OF

The Avenue Lights.


lively few visitors who have reached
| the city in advance of the big Shrine
party had treat last night when the
lights were turned on in the section
of Pennsylvania avenue that has been
set apart for special illumination. The
historic street was transformed into
fairyland. Always impressive in its
proportions, it became a scene of
wonder.
The soft glow of colored lamps,
many thousands in number, and the
brilliance of the general scheme of de-
sign gave the Avenue a new character
to those who have known it for years
and who have seen it in many aspects.
No word picture can effectively pre-
sent it to the minds of those who have
not witnessed it. No Photographic rep
resentation can faithfully reproduce it.
1t must be seen to be appreciated.
In one respect this illumination
brings sorrow to the Washingtonian
who takes pride in the city and who
aspires to see it become the world S
most attractive city. This is the
knowledge that only on such occasions
as when lights of this character are
used for decoration is the street
worthy of its reputation. For there
are undeniable blemishes on it, un-
slightly conditions disfiguring it, un-
dignified structures blotting it, and, for
of In hot q
Capitol and the Treasury, it presents
to the eye in daylight a sordid, un-
slightly appearance. Only in the soft
light of a special illumination are these
disfigurements hidden.
This situation results from long
neglect by Congress of the govern
ment's public building needs. If years
ago, when the public housing require
ments began to be acutely felt, the en-
tire triangle between the Avenue and
the Mall had been taken as a whole
and utilized for the emplacement of
public structures of dignified design
and substantial character the whole
stretch would now have been restored
ness.
Not until the government forecloses
upon its virtual mortgage on this area
on the south side Of the Avenue will
should be- If and when that is done
there will be incentive to business to
center upon the eastern end of the
space and the proper utilization OF this
magnificent thoroughfare will follow.
Then the unsightly soaring struc-
lures will pass and the whole distance
between the Capitol and the Treasury
will present an appearance worthy of
the National city.
Those visitors who notice the
marked difference between the eastern
and the western ends of this wonder
street should be told why it exists,
and then given a concept of the pres
ent congestion of the government Of
fees and the imperative need of new
constructions. They should be ac-
quainted with the fact that the gov
ernment has for some years owned
the western end of the Mall-Avenue
triangle and has done nothing with it
save to rent out the structures upon
it for private uses, while it has been
paying rents itself for inadequate
quarters for it's departments and bu-
reaus.
Possibly the lights that were turned
on last night for the first time may
teach lesson that will react upon
the congressional mind to hasten the
process of Avenue redemption through
provision of proper buildings for the
work of the United States.

Olive Schreiner will be remembered
as a pioneer of the new woman"
movement. The protest against the
new woman which arose in many
quarters after the first performance
of Ibsen's doll House" in London
resulted in the burning of every copy
of Olive Schreiner's STORY of an
African Farm" in a London library.
But Olive Schreiner had clear vision
of womans highest responsibilities
and capabilities that has since been
fully vindicated. and her Woman and
Labor" was one of the important
books of the nineteenth century. Her
volume of posthumous works, stories,
Dreams and Allegories," recently pub
lished, contains three stories that are
particularly marked by her peculiar
vision of the woman soul. These de-
serve a place with her greatest work.

Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
young-to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels-there's no need of
having a sallow complexion-dark rings
under your eyes-pimples-a bilious
look in your face-dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from
inactive bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a we'll known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on the
liver and bowels, which he gave to his
patients for years.
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel, are gentle in their
action yet always effective. They bring
about that natural buoyancy which all
should enjoy by toning up the liver and
clearing the system of impurities.
