DE AcTUALIDAD
CONTRA LA MENDIc1DAD

De tempo inmemoriai existe la men,
dicidad o, mas bien, Ell vicio de ella,
pero como aqui siempre Sc lie persigui6,
como no fue tolerada siquiera, nunca
obtuvo el incremento que hoy va obli-
ga pensar sacramento en- medidas de
rigor para corregir el NAL que nos afec
ia corroe, 81 es que no puede cortar-
Sc de una vez para que las GALES de
San Juan, las carreteras y las pobla-
clones de alguna iinportancia de la IS
la, no contfnnen sufriendo ell espectacuio
POGO edificante de miseria que ofrecen
los pordioseros, muchos de los que, nj
domiciliados de la urbe son.
A diario Sc ocupa la prensa local de
ese enjambre bochornoso que nos ase-
dia por todas parties, cuando no recos-
tados, tirados en- el umbral de los edif
clos, en- los p6rticos mismos de la casa
del pueblo implorando la caridad, y,
esto, francamente, hace pensar, que ST
en- las poblaciones de relativa impor-
tancia existiesen fundaciones ben6fi-
cas-, asilos destinados al sccorro re-
fugio de los pobres, enfermos o de5-
validos, fuera dudoso pensar one 6stos
buscasen filera Ell socorro que Ia mu-
nicipalidad les brindase.
La existencia de estos estableci-
mientos es indispensable para la So
ciedad, porque el hombre, por su natu-
raleza misma, esta sujeto todas. las
contrariedades de la vida, y el infortu-
nio, Ell desamparo on Ia infancia y en-
la ancianidad, las intermediates y Ia
pobreza, son academies demasiado fire.
cuentes, por desgracia, en- 81 curso dc
la vida que la hu1nanidad .arrastra So
bre la TERRA, como el proscrito sobre ei
desiegto de su destierro; y 81 la desgra-
cia y Ell desamparo no tuviesen un rim
con donde albergarse en- los dias de
su infortunio, 3qu6 seria de los po-
bres, que seria de la sociedad?
Llenar esa noble mission del amor
mutuo y de la fraternidad, es 10 que
constituye Ell objeto de los estableci-
mientos y asilos de benefcencia, sin
los cuales los indigentes SO verian
abandonados su desolaci6n.
La Administrator tiene ell deber de
prohibir la mendicidad o, cuando esto
no sea enteramente possible, reglamen
tarla, seialarla linites.
La mendicidad abusiva, que es CO.
mo 81 dijeramos la mendicidad vagabun
da ha preocupado en- todas las epocas;
y la religion misma ha repudiado ESQ
vicio social, reconsendando ell cumpli-
miento del deber que. Dios impuso al
hombre de buscar la subsistencia en- Ell
trabajo fruto del sudor de su frente..
Els, pues, evidente que la mendicidad
por su propia naturaleza, fomenta en-
general los vicios, relaja los habitos
de laboriosidad y de orden y revela
una gran decadencia en- los pueblos
corroidos por tan fnnesta playa.

any reason for her cOldness to you. You owe that much to your old friend ship. Don't let pride keep you from making an effort to regain your friend. Very often a little oyersensitiyeness on our part, or some little act that was misinterpreted by another. an offense taken at some careless word or deed, or malicious story told by scandal monger has estranged two friends that q few plain words of explanation would have kept together for all time. Friend ship is too priceless thing to lose if you can prevent it.. =-s
 But I am afraid, dear little Sally. that you are having your first experl- ence with human ficklenesss and are finding out that those we love do not always really love us. There are fair weather friends who only care for us as long as we can amuse and entertain them, and add to their comfort and pleasure. Then when somebody else comes along who is newer and fresher than we are, or who can give them more than we gave them, they are off with the old love and on with the new
 As you go along the journey of life this will happen to you so often. Many people will be your intimate friends for few weeks or months or years and then forsake you; many people will profess to love you. because you can open doors to them through which they wish to pass, or you can boost them up the ladder, or ecause they want to ride in your automobile, or because you give good dinners, or because of q thousand other selfish reasons And they will forsake you for somebody with more position, more mony and bigger cars. And you will get used to it, and just shrug your shoulders over it, but you will become very chary of giving your real friendship.
 But when you are young and find that friend is faithless, it is a stab from the hand you trusted, and the wound leaves scar that is never obliter- ated. Something lovely and beautiful

Dorothy Dix's Letter Boz
Tue Girl Whose Chum Has Deserted Her-Why Do Men Merry Widoa0s?-ShaU "Thirty-mia,e' Md1ry Mon Fourteen Yedrs Younger?

has gone out of life that you will never have again, for our first friendship is surrounded by cloud of glory that nc other friendship ever has. Would that we could always keep it! But alas there are few first friendships that sur. vive the changes and vicissitudes of existence. DOROTHY DX.
 Dear Miss Dix: I wish to ask your kindness in settling a dispute on the following question:
 Why do men seldom marry widow or divOrcee, but always look for q woman who has never been married while girls marry widowers and often divorced men! MARGARET. l Answer: It's news to me, Margaret that men object to widows, whether grass or sod. My observation is that a widow can marry all around an un. married woman of her own age, looks and financial class, and give the single woman cards and spades to boot. Why, widows are such experts at the marrying game and have such fatal fascination for men and they are univer sally held to be so dangerous that every father repeats to his son. as he starts forth in the world, Mir. Weller's famous advice, "Samival. Samival, my son, be ware Of vidders.'
 Consider this. Margaret--a woman say of forty, is called an old maid. She is considered ineligible. and the chances are that she will never marry. But g widow of forty is called young widow Everybody considers her highly eligible and prophecies that she will soon marry And she generally does.
 As matter of fact,>a woman who ha. been misunderstanding, of course young girls-has a better chance tt marry than the woman who has never been married, for men are like sheep st far as women are concerned. They fol low their leader, and it sort of gives woman prestige with other men t, know that some other man admired hel enough to marry her.
 There are many other reasons why the widow has a lure for men, and any where under 60 she can always marry again, if she so desires. For one thing the man who marries her can be prett, sure that he is getting a good house keeper and reasonable wife who vii look on with a lenient eye at many o his little faults and foibles. For sh, has cut her wisdom teeth on one hus band, and has learned that marriage i, give-and-take proposition and not rom Dtic na radiSe nrosidad ovar hv q little tin god of husband. Nor doel it detract from the widows charms tha she most often has a nice little wad O insurance money.
 Men marry widows rather than wom en who have never been married fo the same reason that girls marr,

A Bee Hive
 Is The Axis C l u b

The Axis club is just now one of the busiest places in the city and is al, most like bee hive" with women go. ing to and fro in groups, chatting of the many activities.
 The most important event in the life of this organization. next to buying the club house the past year, is the plan Df adding an auditorium at the back of the club house to be used for luncheons and any other affairs this group of | I ,0O0 women may choose.
 The many groups are all working, but none more zealously than Mrs. W. J.. Adams and Mrs. C. D. Yandle's committees. who are sponsoring the coming of Dr. William Montgomery Me Govern, a famous traveller and lecturer.
 Dr. McGovern is well acquainted will all parts of Europe and America, but has specialized on far Eastern matters.
 He has resided in the principal mon- asteries in China and Japan in order to secure manuscripts and collect ma terial for his work on Buddhist philo- sOphy. In recognition of his scholar. ship was made an honarary priest of the Nishi Hongwanji of Kyoto, Japan, the largest temple in Japan. Frequently went in disguise through Japan and China in order to collect first-hand in. formation.
 | In addition to his post at London university, Dr. McGovern was for two years lecturer on Comparative Religion and the History of Religion at the Uni. versity of Wales. Was appointed fur. long lecturer for 1920 by the Royal Asiatic society.
 Dr. McGoverns subject will be "To Lhasa in Disguise"
 Dr. William Montgomery McGOyern NJ. A. (Ph. D. Oxon) spent his earlier days in the Far East. He made ex. cursions into Mongolia and China and once attempted to reach Lhasa over the eastern frontier from China. That eff fort failed, but thereafter he conceived the idea of penetrating to the Forbid den City, and studiously prepared him self for the adventure when the chance should present itself. He acquired Tibe tan in addition to his knowledge ol Chinese and Japanese. etc. and thi, knowledge, together with his pries rank, stood him in good stead on hi, secret journey through the Unknown Land.
 Dr. Mc00vern will speak at Phillip. High school on the evening of Marcf 10 at S:15 o'clock and will illustrat t, his talk with moving pictures as wei as slides.
 This feature will appeal to the stu dents as well as grown people and will prove an educational feature as so little is really known of the forbidden city, Lhasa.

SONGS or MISS BURNS ON MARKET

Miss Annelu Burns of Selma. who has a number of friends in Birmingham, has three new songs on the market, in which her friends are interested. Miss Mildred White Wallace of Columbiana is also well known in Birmingham, where she is studying voice with Mrs. Clara Harper Steele.
 The following from the Selma Times Journal;
 Miss Annelu Burns (bettcr drop the Miss as Annelu is now in the profes- sional class) has out this week three lovely songs, published by Kinds, Hay den and Eldridge, Inc, of New York city. a9h 3
 Ono, "My Love-" is,i written in col liberation with George H. Grantland, musical director of the New York pub lie schools. A second, Smiling Eyes, !" IS set to music by Hugh Coleman and the third, T Would Hold You In My Arms" has for it's joint lyricist with Miss Burns, Mary McNfillan and is. set to music by Miss Mildred White Wallace. n @
 The last is designed as a wedding song and its blend of romantic yearn- ing and security is indeed appropriate to be sung just before the dreams come , true as the golden hoop is slipped upon the finger and the knot is tied hard and fast. s9
 All three songs are in Miss Burns best style advanced to a maturity which years of diligent work topped by the reward of success gained by a steady adherence to high ideals have brought to the Selma song writer.

ART AFFECTED BY TAXES

Patrons of art in Europe. especially in England, are reducing their pur- chases owing to the high taxes imposed upon large homes. In the old days large paintings sold readily, but as taxes are increasing. many art patrons are moving to smaller houses and con seQuently cannot accommodate the larger pieces.
