THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Be yourself
This is one of life's hardest lessons
placed seventh in our list of 10-a
lesson that all too few even realize
exists.
There can be no personal consider
alton of matter until one realizes
that the problem is an actual prob
lem. Theory is one thing, practice
another, personal application another.
Eyes, that is good advice, to be
ones self" yau say, reading here,
probably sublimely unmindful of the
fact that the shoe fits you. 1t fits
me, it fits most of your friends and
acquaintances, but that It really fits
you-Well that is another thing,
Yet it does fit you, even as 1t fits
me. Most of us fail to be ourselves
a great deal of the time.
We are never ourself when we
think one thing and say another.
We are not ourself when we do
something that we do not want to
do.
We are not ourself when we say
one thing and do something else.
we are not ourself if we sit
through a symphony concert when
we crave jazz.
We are not ourself when we drag
out to dances and shows, all the
time wishing we were home with a
good book.
Conversely, we are not ourself if
we stay in the big chair with a book,
no matter how good 1T is, If our soul
wants bright lights and the up-tiddy-
up-tiddy of the saxophone and the
bass horn.
No, we are not our own self II we
allow others to talk US into actions
against the inner self, that colorful
personality which, for right or
wrong, is the best we have to offer
to the world and to ourseif.
After all, is not that the gist of the
matter?
1t is what I have to offer myself
that counts in the long run. And what
counts in the long run is what really
counts.
If feel ashamed of myself at any
time I am terribly ashamed, indeed.
This is not like that shame felt when
the bum soprano comes onto the
stage.
You feel a guilty something spread
over your entire being as the lady
opens her rather large mouth and lets
out a few blasts.
She cannot sing. That is the simple
fact Of the matter. You know 1t;
every one else in the audience knows
it; her friends know 1t; her enemi es
are painfully aware of it.
The world seems to know it, with
one exception. That one large excep-
tion continues to emit awful sounds
at accurately spaced intervals When
the music calls for a sustained note
which is about every other bar-her
voice quivers in that tremulo known
to the art and science of singing as
'Vibrato."
Some of the most noted music
critics have dubbed this spasm of the
epiglottfs the vicious vibrato." II
is worse than vicious, if that were
possible. 1t is criminally negligent.
You feel terribly ashamed for the
lady. You particularly fear that fna1
high G which experience tells you the
singer surely will ATTEMPT to reach.
They always do!
Sure enough, here she goes
whe-e-e-e-e- e-and- the e-o-oo-o-o-o
o-o-o-o-oo! She slips and slides or
the note. her voice doing everything
from a handspring to a Jack Demp-
sey shift.
You feel terribly ashamed, and sc
does every one else. All cover their
shame with tremendous applause
while the innocent cause of 1t all
accepts the plaudits with great smiles
Of triumph.
Most men and women are pretty
decent, after all!

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Sight and Hearing.


1t is a saying, far from new
We've heard from day to day.
The less a feller has to do,
The more he has to say.
You cannot judge man by sound
AS surely as by sight.
The person who just stands around
May holler day and night.
And yet with usefulness so small
When measurement you try,
There's nothing visible at all
Unto the naked eye.
So let loquacity be gay.
The silent friend is true.
The more a feller has to say,
The less he finds to do.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE

James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor,
is gratified on his return from South
America to find so astute a leader as
William Green wearing the mantle
of Samuel Gompers. Green inherits
going concern" says Davis. HE
takes command of the federation
when all it's great periods of stress
and storm, which Gompers wealth
cred, are behind 1t. Yet Green has
grown up with the labor movement
and is by no means ignorant of its
SO years of struggle and what they
mean" Secretary Davis predicts an
uninterrupted career of constructive
achievement for the Federation of
Labor under it's new captain. He sees
guarantee of perhaps even more
conservative leadership in the cir
cumstance that Green was one of
Gompers' four chief associates who
opposed the Endorsement of La Fol-
lette by the federation.

John Coolidge, whose acquaintance
Washington society is making for
the first time, has developed into a
youngster of great charm and poise
during his first term at Amherst. He
has lost all the shyness of boyhood,
and comports himself as If he'd been
out in the great world for years.
John favors his mother in type. He
is dark, rosy-cheeked and affable.
The President is immeasurably proud
of the way in which John is shaping.

friends were at the White House for

D. R. Crissinger, governor of the
Federal Reserve Board, was asked
by a group of prominent Japanese
newspapers to cable them a message
of economic forecast for the new
year Keeping step with the admin
istration's desire to omit no oppor-
tunfty of exhibiting our friendly
spirit toward Nippon, Gov. Crissinger
readily complied. Incidentally, he
paid a fine tribute to Japan. THE
Japanese Empire he said, "has again
demonstrated it's financial strength
and recuperative powers by the re-
marks able recovery from the earth
quake disaster which inflicted SO
enormous human and property loss
in 1923. Not many decades ago such
a disaster would have necessitated
drafts on economic reserves, which
would have had a depressing effect
in all financial quarters. Thanks to
the soundness of Japan's credit and
the courage of her people, this shock
has been absorbed without interfer-
ing with the general movement to-
ward rehabilitation Of financial sys-

TENS and the resumption of normal
business exchanges throughout the
world"
There is said to be a quiet move
ment afoot in the Kentucky delega-
tion to secure a presidential pardon
for Representative John Wesley
Langley, Republican, under sentence
to the Federal prison at Atlanta for
fraud. The basis of the appeal to
the White House, if made, will be
that Langley was reelected on No
vember for his tenth successive
term in Congress, and by the largest
majority ever given him. His friends
and colleagues consider that such a
"vindication" at the hands of the
people who know a man best entities
him to expect consideration under
the circumstances IN which Langley
has become involved. 1t is not likely
that the kentuckian would be par
doned before serving a part of his
sentence, however brief. President
Harding laid down the policy of
withholding executive clemency from
a convicted person before the latter
had suffered some imprisonment.
Mr.. Coolidge on one or two occa-
sions has indicated his adhesion to
this practice.

Senator Borah's suggestions about
an international conference to deal
with ''all creation"-a certain White
House spokesman's description of
them-revives the criticism most com
monty leveled at the brilliant Idaho
an. 1t is to the effect that Borah
never quite carries a thing all the
way through. It is asserted that he
is bold initiator, but is prone to
falter along the way that leads to
final accomplishment. Also, Borah's
friendly commentators point out his
gift is that Of followership rather
than leadership. The Senote's ablest
speaker may break with some of
these attributed traditions in his new
role as chairman of the foreign re-
lations committee. There is a hint
along that line in Borah's article in
the January number of Scribner's
Magazine, The Republican Victory
What Shall We Do With IT," He
writes:
I'm foreign affairs the most inter
esting questions of q century are
begging for attention. 1 am just as
much opposed to foreign political en-
tanglementS or engagements as one
could well be. They seem to me not
only unwise and dangerous, but ac-
tually an embarrassment, a hindrance
in the great leadership which may, If
we choose, be ours in the cause of
disarmament and peace"
