has hardly boosted her salary three times, for, despite her eighteen-fifty expression, she had nineteen-twen- ty-three knowledge of her own worth and no inhibition against mention ing 1t. She is as smart as lightning, and invaluable, but she looks the shrinking violet, quite.
 Tt Is almost impossible to general ize, but it does seem to me that the outstanding feature of the American girl Is her clear knowledge of what she ought to have, and 1t isn't always good for her after she gets it, In which case she discards it and tries again, without whining or ghastly post-mortems And that is- very fine thing. SOPHIE KERR
 Sometimes 1t seems to us that the problems of the American girl are like the weather as seen by Mark Twain--everybody talks about them and nobody does anything. Take girls and their share in New Yorks hous- ing problem, It is outrageous that q girl in this city today, earning $15 to s25 a week, should have to pay from S7 to S10 for decent roof to cover

LEARNING TO VAMP

Should woman vamp men-if she can? And how can she?
 We pause for reply from persons far better qualified than ourself to discuss this delicate problem. We place it before readers at the request of one of their number. "These ar ticles about vamping are all very fine" writes Carrie P.''~ But what are you going to do if you want to vamp and don't know how? That's her head. Even ten years ago hall bed rooms for the poor and ambitious were quoted at s2.50 per, and five dollar furnished room was confort- able enough for anybody.
 The girl Vs. the housing crisis is to be thoroughly discussed at con ference on rents, income and expenses opened today at the Hotel Pennsyl- vania by the association to promote proper housing for girls. We hope, after all the talking, somebody will do something

At l o'clock tomorrow the National
Capital will enter upon its period of
mourning for Warren G. Harding.
whose lifeless body will arrive at
Union station few minutes aft
erward.
Throughout the city the sincere
grief of the populace will be ex-
pressed in utter silence. Every
where within the District business
will come to a halt while the body of
the President Is moved from the
Union station to the White House.
Government departments and the
District government, will be closed
The Commissioners issued a procla-
nation today requesting all business
houses to close while the body moves
from Union station to the White
House, and remain closed on Wednes-
day and Friday. The board of gov
ernors of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association adopted similar
resolutions.
The resolutions of the Commissioners
also called upon business establish
ments to drape their places of bust

many parts of the city.
The route from Union station will
be from the plaza. to 4 street, to
Capitol grounds, to Pennsylvania
avenue. to 18th street. and west on
Pennsylvania avenue into the White
House grounds. This route will be
closed by steel cables and all traffic

busily engaged in completing ar
!, rangements for the funeral of the

night.
Follow Mrs. HardinE's Wishes.
The arrangements as they are
agreed upon have been in accordance
with Mrs. Harding's wishes, and she
has suggested that the ceremonials
closely follow those held here for
President Mckinley. Also those who
are now in the funeral party speeding
from San Francisco will be kept in
tact for the journey to Marion
where the interment will be held Fri
day. This was at the request of Mrs.
Harding. However, former Senator
Kellogg of Minnesota and Mrs. KEEL

members of the cabinet will accom-
pany Mrs. Harding to Marion.

the things he had been doing and the
plans he had made for the future.
Courageously calm, she had outlined
in her mind everything that is to oc-
cur from the time the funefal train

noon until the last sad services Fri
day under the elm trees IN the Gene

know her best say that she can.
Members of the party on the train
were continuously touched and their
eyes often grew misty today as the
train sped thr ough the bread state of
Iowa The silent throngs at the sta
lions, such as Boone, Ames. Marshall
town Legrand, Belleplain~. and here
at Cedar Rapids, were inprcssively
sad. But it was the individuals be-
side the railroad tracks that touched
hearts to their depths--a farmer
head barred. and his rough straw hat
clasped to his breast; wounded for
mer service man standing as rsuch at
attention as his crippled. coalition
would permit; an engineer standing
with bowed head beside his locomo-

known to those aboard the funeral
train that America need fear no
threats of revolution, and no warn
ings Of radical uprising. for the heart
of America is sound and true.
