Washington as Seat of Great
Educational Institutions

and civic bodies alive the interests Of this city in their
efforts aid in bringing the 100000 womens college

to build, beginning with unit to cost $1,000OO0
Rev. George M Dfenderfer pastor Of the Luther Place
Memorial Church Of Washington will direct his energies
toward having the national organization select Washington
the site for the college, decision having yet been reached
that point With trade and civic organizations joining
his campaign there ought not much difficulty convincing
the leaders Of this great church that Washington is the
logical place for such institution.
There is city in the United States that offer a

educational institution and particularly that sponsored

A KINDLY WORD FOR THE D. C,
PENAL FARM

Editor, The Washington Times:
MOT many months ago, a
young man was sent to the
District farm, at Occoquan,
Va, for a misdemeanor. The
young mans character had been
greatly blackened by certain men
in authority. insomuch that the
honorable Judge who was trying
the case, thought 1t best to send
the lad to the District farm,
hoping to cure him Of his ap-
parent trouble.
AS 1 knew the young man per-
sonally l visited him from time
to time, and during these visits
had the opportunity to observe a
great deal. / became acquainted
with some Of the officials and
guards, and ! want to say that
never met a more courteous and
Christian set Of men in all Of
my life. Their attitude toward
the inmates Of this institution
was Of the kindlieat. want to
mention for the benefit OF the
parents OF many young boys and
young men sent to this place that
I became acquainted with the as
sistant superintendent. Julian
Schoen, and I want them to be-
lieve me when I tell them that
their boys are supervised by one
Of the finest men ever placed in
such capacity. Mr.. Schoen is ever
solicitous Of their welfare, always
ready to cheer and encourage
them in the path Of right living.
found that he placed each
and every man on his honor, no
high bars or gates, no striped
uniforms as was used in the days
gone by, and kind and merciful
treatment accorded to all who for
some act or other had been sent
there for q period Of time. The
uniform worn by the inmates is
dark gray, nothing that would
embarrass the most sensitive soul,
and shoes that look very much
like the ones worn by our boys
in the United States army. Many

The foot, the yard, the inch,
the pound, the ounce, are sacred
in the minds Of many people.
Some think that they were di-
vinely inspired and that their
prototypes are to be found In the

wished men to employ in weigh.
ing and measuring. Those who
believe that certainly will never
accept mutilated substitutes for
their sacrosanct standards. They
will never reckon in "digitS" in
stead of in inches.
And, in truth, what Is the use
Of anybody taking these liberties
with the foot and putting the
inch out of existence? Dividing
the foot into ten digits instead of
twelve inches is an Unnecessary

r T is often wise to bring about
reforms gradually, but it is
never wise to make q middle
of them by mixing the new and
the old. There is a bill before
Congress to "decimalize" the foot
and the ounce. Apparently this is
intended as a compromise meas.
ure between adopting the full
metric system of weights and
measures and retaining the anti.
quated English system with all
IT'S inconvenience.
But this is simply to make a
half-hearted reform by mutilating
the old system NIthout introduc.
ing a new one. Such a step would
tend to destroy the chances Of a
real reform. Let the foot alone
with its time-honored division into
inches. The true reform does not
call for any revision Of the ex.

mand its total destruction.

bleak barrier which separates one sex from

posed to be tricky game-men and women
weren't supposed to be hunters and prey.
Men and women were meant to be COM
rades, and love was the beautiful, natural
reaction which was to bind them together in
the great work of making homes and rearing
families. Spring madness might go with
the youthful mating season but, after that,
love was supposed to make for peace and
friendliness, loyalty and understanding.

YOR many years have worked for peo-
pie through newspapers. Hundreds of
l. letters come to me every week, letters
which touch on every conceivable human
problem. A great proportion of these letters
are from unhappy women. Nearly always a
man, or the lack of man, is the cause of
that unhappiness. We hear many jokes about
the Lovelorn, but lovelornness is in truth no
joke. It is the grimmest Of human miseries.
We can endure almost any lash of misfortune
if we have loved, but without it all success
loses SAVIOR and tragedy is doubly black.
