Washington Is an art center. An
educational center, scientihc center
and a financial center because the
financial system OF the repupiic Is
regulated and administered from
Washington.
1t is the seat of government of the
mightiest and most progressive ma
ton the world has known.
1t is the one city that in a very real
sense belongs to all the people OF the
United States.
Washington, In its appeal to the
American mind, is something moro
than a city with streets. residences
churches and public bulia,hsa nI ee .nsr,-
cans, should be In it's true essence an
ideal-one of the nations forces Tor
culture and progress.
Such a Washington is bound to grow
by leaps and bounds, and there will be
ment and much readjustment. Some
one has aptly said that this age of
science and invention causes old needs
to require many new satisfactions.
No matter what Congress does
there will be lot of people not sat
fsfied. The most liberal approprla-
tions will fail to meet all demands.
Growing cities are always present
Ing ragged edges and unfinished sur
faces. Only decadent and dead cities
are finished and without problems.
Washington's civic discomfort, her
yearnings for better things. are posi-
tive and unerring symptoms of life,
vitality and aspiration.
The day Is not far distant when a
million people will reside In the Dis
trict OF Columbia, and all our plan
ming for future development must
take into consideration the neces-
stiles and demands that will address
themselves to those who minister to
the government and wellbeing Of q city

Prefer Negro Physicians

To the Editor of The Evening Times:
A recent editorial does the
colored veterans and the colored
people such serious injustice that
1 ask the publication of this
correction in your columns. 1t
is a grave error to say that the
wounded colored veterans pre-
ferred white physicians to serve
them. Nothing is further from
tho facts.
The negro knows that the
Southern white people who make
their humiliation their chief
business in life can have no in
terest in the rehabilitation of the
brave black boys they sent to
war while they stayed at home.
They see the monstrous incon-
sistency Of white men and
women who know nothing but
segregation seeking association
Oith them on the splendid pay
roll of the segregated hospital.
No. the negro veteran wants a
negro personnel complete. since
he must be in Il separate hos
pital.
1t Is also wrong to say that

there are not enough competent
colored physicians to care for
them. We have them in album

science and in hospital admins
tration. They want to serve. as
they are interested in their brave
heroes who have gotten so little
out of the world war for de
mocracy." The demonstrat ton by
the hooded ku Klux Khan will
not deter them If the Govern
ment is just enough to appoint
them.
This lawless aggregation has
thrown down the gauntlet to the
Government, and to yield is con-
fession that the state has broken
down. It's chief tenet in It's ex-
tensive campaign of hate IS
racial segregation. yet 1t braZenly
turns around to demand intimate
contact with the negro for profit.
A big payroll works wonders
with lawless money seekers.
A Southern white undertaken
has received the contract for
burying the veterans who are to
die there. Can we colored peo-
pie relish such a combination as
Southern white physicians and
Southern white undertakers in
care of our neglected black sol
diers? They dread so easy a path

Then she began to be away
from home and it was noisedI
about that Mr.. Blanks Missus
was getting around a bit. Not
only was she dancing, too, they
said, but she had lot Of stuff"
in new steps that no one else
had ever attempted in the little
town.
OF course all took care not to
be the one who informed Mr..
Blank. You never can tell how
husbands and wives are going to
take things they hear about each
other!
So on the evening that he saw
her, all dressed up like an Ave
nue. manikin, stepping off fox
trot like professional, he just
stared and gulped and ran a hand
kerchief over his forehead and un-
tremendously left for home.
OF course what happened, when
she reached home, no ono can
say exactly. But fancy he said
something about her being too
old for such cuttings-up. and that

There were weeks when Mr..
Blank wasn't seen much outside
his own garden-but Mrs. Blank
was. Then suddenly they began
to appear together-and dance to-
gether, too-and a fine team they
made!
And no one knows exactly what
happened before this came about,
either. But I fancy Mr.. Blank
saying to his wife something like
this:
1--WE got into a rut, my dear,
and I happened to see over the
top Of it first. But because we're
married we're not prevented
being pals and having our good
times together. Fact is, that's
the best reason in the world why
we should! So let's do our step
ping out together-and be happy"
So the middle-aged honeymoon
came about.

composed OF something else than
water. But just what are these
nuclei? G.. F.. Talman, Of the
American Meteorological Society,
says of them: They are often
referred to as dust particles but
it is recognized that a vast pro-
portion of them are very much
more minute than the dust that
worries housewives. They are
largely beyond the power Of the
microscope, and some Of them, in.
deed, appear to be of molecular
size, consisting OF molecules OF
Microscopic gases. such as the
oxides of sulphur and nitrogen"
A "hygroscopic" gas, or other
substance, is one that has the
property of absorbing moisture
from the atmosphere. That ex.
plains why molecules of hygro-
scopic gas in the air may collect
water drops about themselves.
Drops Evaporate.

rain. Many of them are not

than about $50 feet in an hour
Such drops are evaporated after
they leave the under edge of a
cloud. The whole cloud Is very
slowly falling, and evaporating.
/. e., disappearing, below as fast
as it falls.
But when the drops attain a
visible size they are drawn down
by gravity, and if large enough,
and other circumstances are
favorable, they reach the ground
in the form of rain. w. A.
Bently, who has made a special
study of raindrops, photograph
ing and measuring them, finds
that drops of different sizes fall
together. On the average the
raindrops measured by him are
between a thirtieth and an eighth
of an inch in diameter, but some
have a diameter as large as a
quarter, or even a third of an
inch. Very large drops are
broken into smaller ones during
their fall through the air.
Many persons suppose that
snow is only frozen rain, but
Mr. Talman says that al
though rain is often formed from
snow that has melted before it
reached the earth, the reverse
process probably never takes
place, snow being always formed
by direct condensation from
watery vapor in the atmosphere.

Lucy Lowell Tells of Couple Who
Enjoyed Honeymoon When
Middle-Aged
By Lucy Lowell.

" HE middle-aged couple are
having a middle-aged honey
n moon in a pleasant little
flower surrounded middle aged
cottage over in Jersey.
Their first honeymoon was
passed there years and years
and years ago. But much water
has flowed under the bridge
since then. Things have hap
pened.
They were such young things
then-very, very young things
and not at all certain about
striking out for themselves. But
they chung close, and their per-
feet accord was the delight and
envy of all who knew them.
Babies came and grew to man
hood and womanhood. and mar
ried and went away.
Then they had more time to
think of themselves-and it hung
rather heavily occasionally. For
hours suddenly become empty

between them about anything.
And silences are long, too, and
sometimes lonesome.
So he got into the way of drop

little town, to visit old friends
and others. It wasn't long be-
fore he wasn't home much.
He didn't feel q bit middle
aged, and he was jolly sort Of
person in any company, and we'll

taught him to dance. He became
more and more gaily occupied
while his wife grew loneller.
But she began to think-a great
deal. After a while she made a

the city, returning red-faced and

'RIPON HORN
TELLS CITY
ALL'S WE'LL

e A true as stele as Ripon
IN rowels" used to be q
~ common term in Eng
land many years ago. For Ripon
was famous for centuries for its
manufacture of fine spurs. OF
such an excellent quality OF steel
and of such finished workman
ship were these celebrated spurs
that they are even referred to in
the verse of Jonson and Daven-
ant.
But early in the last century,
with the introduction Of machin-
cry. this manufacture OF hand
wrought spurs and other fine
hardware lessened in Ripon. For
these articles were then turned
out in bulk in the large manu-
featuring centers.
However. the passing of Ripon
spurs did not cause a decline in
the interest of the charming old
English city. Because it carries
with its name historical 1ascina-
ton which can never dwindle.
For in this ancient city was
built a cathedral on the site of
the ruins of ST. Wilfred'c Abbey
about the year $50, in the reign
of the Saxon King Egfrid
But the present magnificent
cathedral. which is a JOY and an
inspiration to . the traveller. was
begun in the twelfth century.
Ripon withstood the onslaught
of the Danes. suffered greatly at
the conquest of England by Will
liam the Conoueror and even
passed through the conflagra-
ton started by Robert Bruce. and
yet has retained it's unity and
peculiar characteristics which
are only Ripon's.
So devoted 20 old customs are
the citizens and so much do the
old traditions mean to them tat
the traveller Is not really sur
prised at anything he observes
which may be out of the ordinary.
. For instance, every night in
Ripon the official 'wakeman." in
a historical costume. presents
himself before the house of the
Mayor. Very solemnly he raises
an old horn-"the horn Of Rtpon"
and blows three long. loud
blasts, on 1t. This is to ADVISE
the Mayor that all is we'll within
the city over which he has the
honor to preside.
For over a thousand years this
same ceremony has taken place
every night in this charming, old,
historical town.
