CAPITAL KEYNOTES
BY PAUL y. COLLINS

| There is not Stacker woman leader
in Washington. That is proved by d
I series of interviews with woman lead
ers. following the declaration OF Gen
Pershing that none but the brave
deserve the fair Every one of the
ladies has indorsed his position that
no patriotic girl should marry a
| Stacker, anu that preference should
| always be given to men with actual
| war records. The ladies' who thus
rally round the flag include the pres
| ident of the District Federation of
Women's Clubs. the supervisor OF
school Fairgrounds, the president of
| the District of Columbia Catholic
| Daughters of America. a prominent
leader in women's republican circles,
the president OF the Women's Politi-
| cal Study Club, and the president OF
| the Women's Universal Alliance.
| Woe be to any husband or son OF
| these patriotic ladies who would be
! brave enough to show a white feather
\ OF SlacknesS in case this country
! were facing war, or who would dare
| refuse his support to training and
| full preparedness against war. Woe
| to any daughter of theirs who would
| attempt to snub Il soldier in favor OF
! a Stacker.
Gen. Pershing struck a responsive
| chord, not only in the hearts of the
| soldiers, but also of the leaders of
| women. when he took for his theme:
| None but the brave deserve the
| fair"
| So many radicals appear in prospect
in the Senate that the professional
masseur whose duty il is TO CO.
operate in the senatorial bath in
making permanent waves has
thrown up his hands in despair
! Whats the use"" he asks himself
| Senator La Follette's wave Is so per-
| manent that he must have been born
with a pompadour. and so many OF
! his followers are seeking to cultivate
pompadours that there is no hope
| Tor tonsorial art
| They get 50 used to being thumped
about among their constituents, says
| one senator, that when the masseuI
! begins pounding them in the bath
| they dream 1t is Il political debate
| and not even straps will hold them
| down: their arms fly in all directions
and their eagles" darken the skies
I When he turns on the shower bath
\ they think 1t is n signal to hurry

| II is within the memory of men
| still living that the automobile was
| introduced and it's entire growth
| built up. Thirty years ago, to have
[ predicted that II would almost Who'll

been deemed fanciful Yet today
there are millions more automobiles in
use III America than there are horses.
The bureau of standards of the
| Department of Commerce predicts
| that in the next decade the growth
| of the airplane will be as marked
| as was that of the automobile. and
| that there will be thousands of air
! planes in use by private hyers-busi-
ness men committing daily between
! business and home, 100 miles or less
| apart. The airplane will grow rap

| for the hunt for climate suitable to
| the tastes of the wealthy. Week end
I trips Will cover flights of hundreds
| of miles--from New York to Nova
! Scotia, or the Thousand Islands; from
! Washington to the Shenandoah val

| The suburbs of the great cities will
no longer be within a "three-mile
limit" but will extend hundred
| miles.
The mails and perishable fruits
/ will be rushed by airplanes and
| spooners will take JOY rides above
! the clouds, out of reach of traffic po-

| patrol with wings the upper regions
| and order the spooners to move on.
| Perhaps a complete new set OF rules
| governing joy riders will prohibit
| spooning anywhere amongst the clouds
! and limit the privilege of parking to
