Honoring George Washington.

That no community can with greater
propriety celebrate the birthday of
George Washington than the beautiful
Capital City which bears his name
goes without saying. That no cele-
brations could be better, both as re-
CARDS spirit and details, than the half
dozen or more which are scheduled
here in the District today and tomor-
row is evidenced by their various pro-
grams, some time honored and some
new. For the first time large group
Of national and local organizations,
both patriotic and civic, will combine
in an impressive and elaborate COM
munity observance in the new Wash
ington Auditorium.
Beginning with the placing Of
wreaths at the base of the Washing
ton Monument early tomorrow morn
ing, with an annual service at st.
Johns Church conducted by the Sons
of the Revolution in the afternoon,
and ending with a great ball to-
morrow night in the gymnasium Of
the university which also bears the
name Of George Washington, the Capt.
tai which he established will fittingly
and adequately commemorate the 1880
anniversary Of the birth of the Father
Of his Country. Washington's Farewell
Address will be read in the Senate of
the United States. The Association of
Oldest Inhabitants will continue the
procedure it has followed for nearly
bration. Three great patriotic organi-
zations-the Sons Of the American
Revolution, Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution and Children of the
American Revolution-will, as in the
past, combine in staging special cere-
monies at Memorial Continental Hall.
The National Monument Society will
hold its annual meeting and reception
in the afternoon.
George Washington is an interna-
tional hero as well as a national one.
Diplomatic representatives of the
great peoples of the world have been
invited to honor his memory by at
tendance at the combined celebration
arranged for the auditorium by a spe-
cial organization created to plan and
to execute proper and dignified OBJ
servance of national holiday here.
The residents of the city which per-
petuates the name Of the greatest
American cannot vote; they cannot
select their municipal officers, nor de-
termine the amount of their contribu-
tions toward the support of the ma
tional and lotal governments. But,
led by the heads of that local govern
ment, aided by officials of that national
Government and through the activi-
ties of various organizations singly
and in combination, they will stage a
celebration that is of national interest
and is an inspiration.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Ceasorious.
We had a little meetin' down to Pohick
on the Crick.
We want some reformation and we
want it pretty quick.
We've just about decided that our
morals will be loose
If youngsters keep repeatin' poetry by
Mother Goose.
King Cole with pipe an glass we must
eliminate because
He worked in violation Of the prohibi-
ton laws
The frog who would a wooing co."
the same as human kind,
Implied that evolution was already in
his mind.
This Jack be nimble, Jack be quick"
is not a proper lay,
Since it suggests defiance of the eight
hour working day.
That tale Of ''Pussy's in the well'' is
narrowing, indeed,
And something our S. P. c. A. should
very promptly heed;
Each little bit Of rhyme contains an
{ element of doubt
Whose influence is bad. when you pro-
ceed to work it out.
And since to rigid morals we are all
resolved to stick
We're going to bar old Mother Goose
from Pohick on the Crick.

He cannot in present-day conditions
devote much attention to any private
business. If he is man of any pri-
vate means, he usually leaves Con-
gress poorer than when he entered it.
If he is dependent solely upon his sal
ary, he must either count every cost
rigidly and live with undignified par
simony or go in debt.
All these are matters that can better
be said of Congress than by its mem
bers. Perhaps if the salary increase
proposal had been brought forward
without discussion and allowed to de-
velop public response, those things
would have been said. In the House
yesterday some of them were said by
those who supported the Senate
amendment. But again, there is al
ways a suspicion on the part of many
people that Congress is not sincere.
What is Congress, after all? 1t is an
assemblage of American citizens,
drafted for duty, men-and a few
women-who are taken from all walks
of life. people just like other Ameri-
can citizens, just as conscientious and
as capable and as sincere in their in
depreciation of what constitutes a
duty as others. They are inhibited by
certain political considerations, now
and then, from expressing themselves
with perfect freedom. They must al
ways keep in mind the relative values.
But when they are at work they make
their way with just as much con-
scientious consideration for their coun-
try's welfare as would any others who
might be chosen in their places.
1t is well this step was taken with
out proclamation and, save for yes
terday's short discussion in the House,
without debate. An act of justice has
been done with a minimum of misun-
derstanding and criticism. Now the
country may be assured that Uncle
Sam, with all his economies, is not 60
ing to be a parsimonious. niggardly
employer and that Congress, while
strictly careful to avoid needless ex-
travagance, will be properly liberal to
the other Government workers in the
matter Of compensation.

District Business TomorroW,

Tomorrow is District day in the
House, probably the last occasion on
which that body will devote itself to
the consideration of local business at
this session. Two items, in particular,
are on the calendar for discussion, the
traffic bill and the f1ve-year school
building bill. 1t is hoped also that the
public welfare commission bill will be
brought before the House for action.
The House District committee has
decided to offer as substitute for it's
own traffic measure that which the
Senate passed the other day. It's sub
stitution for the House bill will facili-
tate final enactment, for the debates
which occurred in the Senate when
the subject was under discussion there
indicate clearly that the House bill,
which is identical with the original
Senate measure, could not secure the
approval Of the upper body
1t is urgently desirable that a traf-
f1c regulation bill be passed at this
session. Conditions in the District
streets are bad. Every day brings its
long record of accidents and tragic re-
suits of criminally careless driving.
The traffic rules are not enforced ade.
quately. The habit of carelessness is
not being checked and corrected by
sufficiently drastic punitive measures.
Sitter sentences are needed to check
the grave evil of intoxicated drivers
careening through the streets.

lfers no points Of difficulty. and there

Two-Dollar Bills.

In addition to the effort to push
the silver dollar or "cartwheel" into
circulation, the Treasury Department
is contemplating a campaign Of edu-
cation to popularize the two-dollar
bill. The use of this double dollar gen.
orally, it is urged, will save the Gov.
ernment large part of the currency
printing cost. 1t is to be feared, how
ever, that just as much difficulty will
be encountered In pushing the two
dollar bill as the silver dollar. Per
haps it will be even harder, because,
while the objection to the big coin Is
wholly on the score of it's weight and
physical inconvenience, there are two
objections to the two-douar bill in the
minds of the public, and one of these
is somewhat psychological.
The two.dollar bill is Stunned by a
great many people from sheer super.
stition. For some reason not clearly
understood it is regarded as a jinx.
1t is "unlucky money" in the minds
of many. Then again, the two-dollar
bill is unpopular because of the pos
sibility of its being mistaken for a
one. OF course, there is no more SIM
ilarity in appearance between a two
and a one than between a five and a
one. but somehow folks are shy of
taking this chance.
Bank teilers, store cashiers and
others who handle money are aware of
this prejudice. They find it difficult
to pass two-dollar bills out to GUS
toners. More often than otherwise the
bill thus presented in payment or in
change will be turned back with a re-
quest for two ones. please" Some
people will not even touch the two
dollar bill.
OF course, there are people who have
no prejudice whatever, and some, in.
deed, who actually like two-dollar bills
and regard them as lucky" But
these are in the minority, and 1t will
be difficult for the Government to
overcome the prejudice. Probably if
the Treasury gave the public the
choice between twos and silver, the
latter would move much more speedily
than the former. Some years ago
there was a movement to secure a
law to cut the two-dollar bill out of
the currency list, but it came to
naught, and it is still one of the
printed forms Of Government obi.

Former Vice President of the United
States.

1t is bad enough when we wrest the
scriptures to our own destruction. 1t
is far worse when we do so to the de-
struction of our fellow men, We

living of lie or the expressing of a
false opinion. Hypocrisy and lying
run in our minds as completely par

MEN AND AFFAIRS
BY ROBERT r. SMALL.

The country evidently has received
with mixed emotions the news OF the
plan to increase the salaries of SEN
ators and Representatives in Con-
gress, with little sop thrown in for
the Vice President, the Speaker of the
House and the members of the cab
met. AS yet there has been no sug-
gestion to raise the salary of the
President. If such an idea ever oc-
CURED on Capitol Hill, Mr.. Coolidge
would quickly nail 1t.
Senators and Representatives, the
former particularly, have been hear
ing from home" on the subject and
while 1t is apparent from the letters
that the people feel that the higher
cost of living since the World War has
justified liberality in salaries and COM
pensations all along the line, there
persists in the hinterland the theory
that being a Representative or a SEN
ator is not a regular job" after all
but just a sort of pastime or hobby.
That word hobby will not down. Prior
to a decade and half ago this was
virtually true. Congress sessions
were comparatively short; the ma
tional legislators spent comparatively
little time in the National Capital and
consequently were able to maintain
at home their practice of the pro-
fessions or their business connections.
But Washington has changed, Amer
lea has changed and Congress has
changed. The activities of the Fed
eral Government, once severely linn
tied, have beer reaching out and out.
Amendments have been tackled onto
the poor old Constitution until if it
could look at its self in a mirror there
would be recognition of little beyond
I'VE the people" The activities of
the Government have increased many
fold. They have reached into the
very homes Of the people. The income
tax has come, prohibition has come.
there is the inheritance tax, the gift
tax and hundred and one other
things. Federal employees out through
the country have been multiplied
Business has had to look to Wash
ington; the farmer has had to look
to Washington, labor has had to look
to Washington. The ties between the
people and the Capital, between the
interests and the Capital, have in
creased TO the point that Representa-
tives and Senators have their hands
full, even when the legislature is not
in session. No small proportion Of the
lawmakers have found it necessary
to make their homes in Washington
all the year round, going home occa-
sionally to run for reelection.
x \
Some people, as has been stated
recognize this change, recognize the
new responsibilities which rest upon
Congress and the new expenses in
volved in the change. These believe
that an increase in salary not only is
