CHAPTER XIV.

How Wilson the Theoretical Gave
Way to Wilson the Practical In
Dealing With Appointments to Of
flee.
Mr.. Wilson's impulse as President
elect was to carry his program OF
reform to the uttermost. He would
have liked to see the seniority rule
in the selection of committee chair
men in Congress abandoned so that
progressives, or men in close SYM
pathy with his ideas might be the
leaders in the preparation OF lesis-
lation. But the practical difficulties
in the way of such reform impressed
Mr.. Wilson and persuaded him to
avoid what certainly would have fol-
lowed. namely, serious conflict with
Congress.
Rather did Mr.. Wilson decide that
he could accomplish the same result
by converting men who had been re-
dictionaries into progressives, so far
as their votes were concerned. If he
could make the reactionaries vote
with him even against their own Will,
through the pressure of public opin-
ion, Mr.. Wilson felt he would be do
ing just as much good as II he were
to attempt to revolutionize congress
sional custom and practice. And as
matters turned out Mr.. Wilson's S
caution in this respect was fully
justified. In the first few years he
did get the votes of his own party
without permitting factionalism to
develop.
Remarkable Hold on Congress.
The story of Woodrow wilson's re-
markable hold on the democrats In
Congress during his first administra-
tion is simply a case of skillful pres
entation of his proposals to the Amer
ical people. His tactics were better
calculated to retain the support of
public opinion than those of would-be
opponents. On the other hand, Just
as soon as Mr.. Wilson erred and lost
the confidence of large groups in the
American electorate. so his opponents,
realizing their opportunity. made the
most of the occasion to wear down
his strength. 1t was while Mr.. Will
son was so deeply absorbed in foreign
affairs that he found little time to

PASSION PLAY ACTORS
COMING TO WASHINGTON
Group in oberammergau Presenta.
ton to Call on President at
Noon Saturday.

The famous players of the Ober-
ammergau Passion Play. who are
about to conclude visit of three
months in America. during which
time they have exhibited their wood
carving, pottery and other art works
in virtually every important city of
the east and middle west. except
Washington. will visit this city Sat
urday and call on President Coolidge
at noon. The exhibition will not be
given here.
The players came to the United
States to establish a new market for
their art works. the European
market having failed after the war.
The collapse of the mark not only
wiped out the profits of the Passion
Play of 1922, but left the village
bankrupt Oberammergau, like all
Alpine communities, is without agri-
cultural resources and depends en-

This week the exhibition is in

Pre-School Days Important In
 Child Care
Ry pR. CHARLoTTE aeg WEST

By DIR. CHARLOTTE e. WEST TT IS fact that in most cities pro vision is made for the lcare of ba-
 bies, and again much is, done for children attending school, but very lit tie consideration has been given to the health of children between these years. The child of from two to five years is peculiarly susceptible to the communi- cable diseases--measles. humps, chick enpox, whooping cough, diphtheria-- all prevalent, dangerous and absolutely preventable. s7as
 It is not going too far to advise mothers that by careful supervision of her child's health during these tender years much of the work and expense of correcting defects so conspicuous in the first year of school life can and will be avoided.
 In many families the child who has been the plaything of the house, with every attention showered upon him, is practically relegated to the background with the advent of a new baby. This usually occurs when he is two and & half to three years old. The new baby now claims most of the mother's time, and if he happens to be sickly baby the older child is apt to suffer from real neglect Being still aS'baby and unable to assert himselfD many condi- tions arise and pass over without at tracting special notice. Children are proverbially patient and long-suffer- ing, and what may apparently seem a trivial ailment strikes deeper and leaves a lasting impress. Wherever careful physical examinations have been made of the first year scheel children, one child out of every three has been found suffering some physical defects requiring the attention of g physician.
 Were these conditions discovered be- fore school attendance and corrected, the child's physical and mental stam- ina would enable him to endure the changes incident to school lfe-
 From now on is good time in which to look into the health of chil- dren scheduled for school next fall. Also watch your child's habits. Do not take anything for granted. See that his organs function normally. Watch him in sleep; if he does not breathe softly. through closed mouth, or if he losses about restlessly, have him examined.

 OftenSI felt like what I imagined a cave-woman must feel. If it was the resurgence of the cave-woman, there was no cave-man to club me back into norma1ity. There was only man who seemed to think I had no mind of my own, at least none worth considering, and who had made me fear him, not because of his cave instincts. but be- calfseof his superiority.
 Time after time determined to- talk things over with Manville. Often I planned to tell him just how felt about things. Then when with him my tongue was tied. Only the most trivial commonplaces occurred to me. I was stale, flat, and unprofitable as a com panion; yet I could not believe it en' tirely my fault.

We Women
A DEFENSE OF COSMETICS

A DEFENSE OF COSMETICS nAEPH MARAGINO is a feminist. MT. Maragino is twenty-five and
 Brooklyn motorman. He be- lieyes that woman should enhance her natural loveliness with paint and pow der. In fact, he goes even further, ac- cording to the statements of his wife. n/court she told the magistrate that her husband forced home his convictions at the point of his fist and so she left him.
 The magistrate in charge of the court made the following statement:
 This is an extraordinary case. Most husbands try to make their wives leave off paint and powder. It is too much for me to decide off-hand, the state of a mans mind"
 The husband in the case was over heard to say as he left the court room, Any girl who doesn't know enough to doll up ought to get a punch in the nose"
 Mir. Maragino is not the only man who holds this odd opinion. Max Beer bohm wrote "A Defense of Cosmetics" :" He says:
 At the touch of a true artist the plainest face turns comedy. .. Insomuch that surely the advocates of soup kitch- ems and free libraries and other devices for giving people what providence did not mean them to receive, should send out pamphlets in the praise of self-em- bellishment." /
 There is also another side to the question. I quote Irving Bachellor as an authority. Ills says NO matter what they pretend, men hate the look of paint and powder on the face of .youth." .5
 In the face of all this conflicting opinion whose advice should we take?
 If we have a rose petal skin, we look pityingly on our less fortunate sisters who resort to little round boxes for their noses.
 If we haven't a rose skin petal we manage willy-nilly to approximate what nature ought. to have done for us.
 But we defeat our ends if we look artificial. Surely it wouldn't be bad motto to thrust into the frame of our mirrors, "Get along without rouge if you can. If you can't, be stingy with ;f

The thing that would make her go down on her knees and thank God for having given her her hearts desire in a husband would be for him to be pleasant to live with, for him to keep up the lover like attentions of their courting days; for him to still give her kisses that had a thrill in them, instead of having the insulting, clammy flap of a cold buckwheat cake; for him to tell her that she grew more beautiful to him and dearer as the years went by. and that his lucky day was the day he got her for a wife.

ing conversationalist. We are charmed by those who have graciousness and poise, but after marriage we grow tried of looking at even living picture, and we soon cease to see beauty in it if that is all there is to a person. Nobody can perpetually scintillate in the family cir cle and they would bore us to death if they did. Nor is there any place for the grand manner in everyday home life.
 So all the graciousness and ac-
 complishments and talents go into
 the discard, and that thing that is
 of vital importance is just the dis
 position of the one with whom we
 have to live day in and day out, in
 good weather or bad, in prosperity
 od diversity, in sickness or in
 health.

 be pleasant to live with, for him to
 be fair and generous about money
 and for him to give her what he
 could afford without hogging over it.
