Hepatica.

An old friend of the people Of the
District is missing. 1t cannot be that
he is lost, but he is not living up to his
schedule. He is the man who finds the
first hepatica in spring. or finds 1t be-
fore spring. Washington has grown to
be such a crowded city, teeming with
people who could not plow a furrow
straight nor build a rail fence. that it
may be possible there are persons here
who would not know hepatica If big
bunch Of the white or blue flowers
should rise up before them and say. Il
am Hepatica.' 1t is one Of our fair
and early wild flowers. The plant
leaves are lobed and shaped as a liver,
hence the name "hepatica." 1t is
blooming now on the south slopes in
open woods and under quilt of leaves
that fell from the trees last year.
Generally the man who finds the first
hepatica of the season rushes to town
to tell about it and show his trophy,
but this year he has not been heard
from. Times are changing!

Central Union Mission.

The Central Union Mission, which
has been carrying on its Christian
work in this city for nearly forty
years, is pressing its campaign to
raise money for a new building. 1t
has s65,Oo0 in hand and is trying to
raise-and is very likely raising
$35, 900 that it may set up 100000
building. The site Of the old building
facing on Louisiana avenue and c
street will be used for the new struc-
ture. In the new building will be ac-
commodation for 100 children, the
Childrens Home of the Union Mission
being now at 1901 1st street north
west, with accommodations for 35
children. Those persons who know
the work this mission has done
for many years and is still doing will
wish it success in its building fund
campaign. They will not only wish
it success, but will contribute to its
success. The old building is believed
to be beyond economical and satis-
factory repair. The superintendent
of the mission says that the building
"has now almost become useless"
and he tells of the many things that
age has done to it. Teams Of the Cen
trail Union Mission are at work. 1t
is another Embarrassing drive, but
Washington is used to drives and cam
paigns, and this time it is the Gem
trail Union Mission, long one Of the
useful institutions Of the city, which
asks for help.

Making Land for Cities.

gineering achievements to character

wall from the Battery to the narrows
and pumping in sand from the lower
bay and the Atlantic. The plan looks
feasible on the map. 1t would be the
most notable extension of city by
the water route on record, but there
have been some remarkable accom-
plishments of that kind. An impor-
tant part Of San Francisco is built on
filled land-that is, earth dumped into
the bay. In the early days OF San
Francisco there was riotous specula-
ton in water lots" or subdivisions
of the bay which it was planned to
fill. These water lots" finally be-

structures stand on them today.

pedestrian must be educated in the
right way to walk across the streets.
The motorist must be educated in the
right way to move through the streets.
Safety is a matter Of habit, and habit
is the result Of self-training.

large enough. That goes without say

possibly be large enough to do the
work of making the streets safe for
everybody If there Is a disposition on
the part Of the motorist to break rules
or pedestrians to be careless. In other
words. traffic squad, however large.
cannot make the streets "foOlproof."
But a traffic squad of good size can
serve effectively as a training corps,
as a corrective force through per-
suasion and inducement rather than
punishment. 1t would be we'll IL Wash

Mr.. Mondell's Farewell Statement.

Out of the plenitude of experience
afforded by quarter Of a century's
service in the House of Representa-
was majority leader in the last Con-
gress, offers some pertinent comment
and suggestion upon Congress and
legislation in a farewell statement he
has issued. He speaks of the trials
ard tribulations of representatives; Of
injustice to which they are often sub
jected; of the danger of organized
propa ganda by ninorities and the diff
ficulty of members of the House in
discerning between worthy projects
his remarks and philosophical observa-
tions runs a continuous vein OF un-
stinted appreciation Of the dignity of
the House and the integrity Of its
membership.
The former majority leader gives
the Senate sharp rap for filibuster-
ing and holding up desirable legislation
recommended by the House. while at
tempting to kill some bill against
which a minority is arrayed. He points
out that it would not be in order to
criticize in the House action favorable
or unfavorable which the Senate
might take on a specified measure.
But" he says, lit is quite another
matter when the rules of the Senate
allow a minority to prevent the ex-
preston of an opinion by a vote, and
that is particularly true in view of
the fact that the tilibuster against the
shipping bill prevented consideration
by the Senate of many important
measures passed by the House.
The former majority leader does not
mince words in commenting upon the
variance ofttimes shown between the
known views of members and their re-
corded votes. IF every vote which
has been taken since I have been
here" says Mr.. Mondell, "were based
upon the free confessions in the cloak
room rather than those voiced in the
roll call under the pressure of mill
tant minorities, it would have been
LOT llG COUNTY, Sou oECCo
the day when the moral courage OF
the Congress shall equal the integrity
and good intention of its members"
In this connection he prays for his
former colleagues that your constitu-
ents will give you latitude for the exer-
else of your good judgment and that
Providence will give you courage
equal to your high purpose and good
intent
Mr.. MondeIl believes that the appro-
priations should run with the calendar
year rather than the fiscal year, and
thinks that appropriations will be still
further consolidated in coming years.
He says that one of the problems
which must be met in the near future
is that of eliminating or lengthening
the short session. He maintains that
the period from the first Monday in
December until the 4th Of March no
longer suffices for a fair and reason
able consideration of legislation.

Recalls Heavy Brigade

Tn the Editor OF Ine StdI-
I have read with great interest the
communication of DR.. William Tindall

note that DIR. Tindall states: Here
WAS a theme more imposing for
poetfc description than the charge OF
the Light Brigade. which was made
later that day. as it was brilliant
success; while the charge of the
Light Brigade was a pitiful failure"
In concluding his letter he says:
"The caprice of glory was never
moro strikingly illustrated than in
the renown which the Light Brigade
derived from that charge and in the
obscurity which even hides from COM
mon knowledge the equally heroic
and vastly more important achieves
