Washington, the Wonder City.

Washington beautiful Is a theme
that has enlisted many pens and
brushes. The attractions of the Ma
tional Capital have been related in
type, in prose and in verse, and have
inspired artists from other lands as
well as this. Picture postcards of the
city have been sent by millions
throughout the world The theme is
endless, for old as are many Of the
structures that comprise the public
establishment at the seat Of govern
ment and the open spaces that have
been developed as parks and cherished
as prominent features OF the capital S
setting, there is always something
new to be shown. And always there
Is the wonder story to be told, never
too old to retell, of how this city came
into being and grew through adversely
and years of neglect and poverty into
IFS present rank as the most beautiful
in the world. This story, in part, is
told again in the current issue of the
National Geographic Magazine, pub
lication Of which the capital is proud
10 be the seat sthe headquarters of
an organization that has rendered an
invaluable service to American knowl-
edge and culture.
In this issue of the magazine, which
reaches several million readers not
only in the United States but else
where, is a group of four articles, il
lustrated by wealth of pictures,
which, in part-a full illustration of
Washington will fill a far greater vol
ume-tell the story of the capital.
They present the noble structures
that, not adequately, but in the main
attraetively, constitute the govern
ment's housing equipment. They show
the parks, with their masses of foliage
and their glories of blossoms, They
give vistas OF enhancing loveliness.
They show the memorials TO the ma
tion's great ones. They give bits of
architecture and scenes of human in
terest that make the capitals life 80
vivid and so attractive.
Such a publication cannot fail to
quicken the interest of Americans in
their national city. and to stimulate
the desire TO visit it and to see at first
hand the scenes of governmental ac-
tivity, to get in touch with the great
organism that is the United States In
this issue is told in text the story of
the great flow Of people here, includ-
ing thousands Of children from the
schools of the country, whose teachers
regard visit to the capital as Of
equal Importance with their studies.
1t is most desirable that the Amer
lean people should know Washington.
for in the degree that they come in
contact with it and understand it. ap-
preciate its significance, they are bet
ter citizens. A sense of pride is certain
TO be evoked through such a publica.
tion as this issue of the National Geo
graphic Magazine, pride working out
in terms of cooperation in the process
of developing the capital. That work
Is incomplete. 1t will probably never
be completed No city is ever ''in
ished.'' The Washington of today is
infinitely finer and more attractive
than the Washington of half century
ago, and fifty years hence will be even
greater and more significant and more
inspiring.
Publications of this kind are Of serv-
ice, not merely to Washington, but to
the people of this country.

Superstition. .
Poor. Mr.. -Skeeryman. He leads a
mournful life.
Every time YOU spin the salt, he looks
for care and strife;
Thinks the new moon wasted. with its
gentle silver light,
II he observes 1t to the left instead OF
to the right.
Never undertakes a thing when Fri
day comes along, :
Says the days a hoodoo and you're
certain to go wrong;
Shudders when a cross-eyed man APP
pears upon the scene,
Loses hope completely at the mention
of thirteen.
The bowling of homeless dog will all
his soul with grief;
If he walks beneath ladder he will
tremble like q leaf,
Poor, Mr.. Skeeryman! He never gets
q rest.
He reaches out for. trouble and he
hugs it to his breast. )

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Relaxation,

Relaxation.
OF course, you are striving, whoever
you are,
To help the old world go upward and
far,
And you hope for results very soon.
Each month finds you strong in the
struggle and stress.
Excepting just one; you're obliged to
confess,
That you get kind o. careless in June.
When the sky is serene and a cloud
here and there,
Makes light fieck of foam on the
ocean or air,
And the world is a,thrill with a tune
That is sung by the breeze and the
crickets and bees,
And the waves on the shore and the
leaves on the trees
Well, you're bound to get careless
in June!

consideration, so that the entire Bap-

opportunity to consider the proposed
program thoroughly before final ac-
tion is had at the Southern Baptist

ber canvass in the Baptist churches
of the south for the purpose OF sub
scribing the budget needed to carry
