Anu tue Httic
 shop girl, with the thin pay envelope for which she tolls so hard, with her shabby clothes, her body hungry for good food, her soul starved for pleas ure, sees the girl who used to stand beside her behind the notion counter suddenly bedecked in jewels and Paris finery, rolling around in mOtorcars, and she, too, asks, Does it pay to be gOod?"
 Yes, girls, yes, thousand times yes. It pays to be good, no matter how much appearances seem to be- lie it. Often the wild women seem to have the best of it, but this is because you only see the set smile on painted faces and hear the echo of their shrill laughter. You do not see the look of despair in the dis illusioned eyes, nor know how lit tie mirth is in their hearts.
 You envy the wild women their gay parties. Why, there is more real fun at a church oyster supper than there is in drunken orgy, where intoxicated girls dance on tables, where men and women have to drug themselves into forgetfulness before they can even initiate merrimeht and where every bit of pep has to be artificially injected into the occasion!
 The only fun that has any real
 fun in it is the clean fun that leaves no bad taste in the mouth, that brings no sudden headache or heartache the morning after; the kind of fun that one can lap up as a happy memory, instead of burn'
 ing with shame to recall.
 It pays to be good, girls, in just ac- tual, tangible results. This may not seem true to you when you think how hard you work and how little you get and when you see those other women who are lilies of the field, who toll moi and neither do they spin, yet who are more gorgeously arrayed than Solomon in all his glory.
 But no other women in the world earn their money so hardly as do the women who are the playthings of men. No other women are treated so brutally, no other wo- men are so aroused and lnsulted: No other women are so tyranlzed over. No other women are so ruthlessly broken and flung on the scrap heap when men tire of them as are the women who are cynlcally called "the Daughters of Joy" Believe me, girls, that what we call the easiest way is the rocklest road, and every foot of the way IS

Furthermore, the more of a rounder a man is the more apt is he to be a stickler for purity in the woman he marries, while for the worthwhile man nothing is more repulsive to him than the thought that the lips he loves have been given promiscuously to any man who came along and asked for a kiss. The peach with the down rubbed off it has no attractions for him. The wo- man he wants for a wife is the girl who has kept herself unspotted, who has held herself aloof from other men and who has still the modesty of maiden hood about her.
 That is why quiet little girls so often make brilliant matches, and why so many wild girls have lots
 of attention but no husbands. They are good enough for men to play with, but not to marry. The girls men go on wild parties with
 they seldom go with to the altar.
 It pays to be good, girls, because it keeps you safe. Of course, you do not mean to do anything that is wrong. Of course, you do not mean to go an inch too far, and you are very certain that you know the precise psychological moment at which to stop. Just a few kisses, enough to keep a boy in good humor Just few familiarities, just enough to string him along. Just lit- tie license, just enough to make it in- teresting to him to take you out.
 But when a girl once starts down the tobOggan slide she finds she cannot put on the brakes. There is no stop ping place. She is driven on faster and faster, and before she knows it she is at the bottom covered with shame and disgrace.
 It pays to be good, girls, most
 of all because it keeps you right
 with your own soul. There is just
 one person whose good opinion is
 absolutely necessary to us, and that
 is our own.
 Be good and you will be happy
 may be bromide, but it is an eter-
 nal truth as we'll. The only happy
 women are the women with clean
 skirts, who are not afraid of what
 their neighbors are saying about
 them. The most miserable women
 in the world are those who hide a guilty secret.
 It pays to be good, girls. Make no mistake about that.

It pays to be good, girls, if you want to make a good marriage. If you do not permit every Tom, Dick and Harry to kiss you; if you refuse to go on betting parties and booze orgies you may have fewer dates, but you will stand lot better chance of getting an eighteen karat wedding ring, for the hooch- hound young man, who demands that girl shall sacrifice her mod esty as the price of his taking her out, is seldom a marrying man.

Urges Members to Support
Organization.

Following the action of the exc

work Of the Washington Opera
Company, A. J. Driscoll, chairman
of the American Ideals and Educa-
ton Committee of the Board Of
Trade today sent out a letter to
members Of the board urging them
to give their support to the organi-
zation.
Pointing out that more than 100
Washingtonians get free instruction
twice a week from the opera COM
pany, Mr.. Driscoll stated that many
Of the worlds greatest singers are
brought here by Edouard Albion,
director, to sing before local au-
diences. Proceeds from these con-
certs, he said often merely paid
the cost of bringing the singers
here.
Mr.. Driscoll urged the mem
bers of the Board Of Trade to at
tend the performance Of Tales Of
Hoffman," which the company will
give at the President Theater on
the night of January 81. He said
that If every seat in the house Is
sold the company will do slightly
better than break even on the
financial end of the show.

CITIES WOBBLE,
D. {. SAVANT
LEARNS
Prof. F. 3. Little Says Shifts
Due to Earth's Variations
on It's Axis.

New York, Boston, Chicago,
Washington, San Francisco, Los
Angeles-in fact. the entire United
States-is slipping at the rate from
&c to 81 feet every year. Some
times north, sometimes south; no
latitude today is just what 1t was
last year. F. B. Littell, Of the
United States Naval Observatory at
Washington. and his zenith tube
tell the world how much 1t slips
from year to year.
Prof. Littell has just calculated
that New York slipped four-tenths
of a second Of a degree during the
past year, or about thirty-six feet.
There is no cause for worry In the
knowledge, however, for the city
has been slipping ever since the
DAYS of Wooter Van Twiller, and
even before then.
1t is all caused by the fact That
the world wobbles on Its axis.
The zenith tube that Prof. Litteil
uses resembles a section OF water
main. 1t contains. among other
things, a telescope camera. 1t
always points straight at the inter
section of the meridian and the
zenith-the spot in the sky directly
overhead-and makes photographs
of stars, When one set of star pic
lures is made the plate. Is turned
around and the same stars are
photographed on the other end Of
it. The distance between the two
sets measures the variation in lat.
itude.
Place Blame on Ice.
Nobody knows why the world
wobbles as it spins, but 1t Is sup
nosed that the earth grows lighter
in one part and heavier in another,
causing shift in the axis Of ro-
tation.
polar ice caps are thought to be
partly responsible. AS the Arctic
ice melts in July and August. new
ice is piling up In the Antarctic.
making the southern end Of the
earth a little heavier than the
northern. Earthquake slips and
volcanic eruptions Ore thought to
cause changes, too.
