Children

Some people without little children
seem to have complete lives. but they
are only few. In these days, when
we are SO keenly interested in the fu-
ture. in new forms of education, and in
The actual instincts of the species, il
seems as If children have more to add
to our lives even than formerly. No
parent who gets away with the job
IAN be an egotist, neurotic, narrow,
vain or weak. No parent with any
mind at all can help feeling close to
the springs of life, and in touch with
the cradle of the race. The same ex-
tended reality may be obtained by
teachers, or by others in helpful and
steady contact with the young, but the
person on whom the children make
none Of their confident demands, whom
they never consult about the rules of
life and the opening wonders of ma
lure, is all too likely, as he grows old
to lose the youthfulness that stays
with the fortunate to the end.-Norman

e.Floek Of Beautiful Birdso

New York, paradOxical In this as in
everything else, is at once the most
hospitable of cities and one Of the
hardest places In the world to get to
know people.
There is In the atmosphere rest
lessness, swirling yiyacity, which
makes the people of New York find
pleasure in movement rather than in
concentration. When the more stolid
Britisher goes to one of these parties
she is apt to feel like some one stand
ing on the shore Of lake while a flock
of beautiful birds wheel crying around
her, writes Rebecca West in the New
Republic.
The American women, who always
look very sweet and graceful In mo-
ton, because of the slenderness of the
wrists and ankles. dart up to one and
deliver shrill. sharp, surprising com.
ments, often flattering opinions o.
ones appearance, which are, if ont
is honest, much more delightful thar
embarrassing. If they think you have
beautiful eyes. or that you dress we'll,
they say SO, and they will dart away.
while others dart up to take their
place.
This goes on and ON. hour after
hour, and yet the women never get
haggard with fatigue. just as the men
who are with them never seem to want
to stop dancing.

Poetic Language

How then do we distinguish poetic
language7 The fact is, think, that
there is no hard and fast distinction.
1t has often been asserted that by
poetic language we mean the presence
Of metre. Now, as we shall see, metre
IL. beyond doubt. the kind of rhythm
most suitable as rule for the pur-
poses of poetry. But metre is simply
ONE of the devices available to poetic
expression; and If it happens that
some other kind of rhythm will do just
as well or better. and If everything
else we require is there. 1t seems mere
" arbitrary to withhold the title OF
poetry. A definition of poetry would
surely look very foolish, u Il would

frowned upon by grammarians who in

Defend Agencies.
Soroptimists Believe Employ
ment Bureaus Great Aid.
To the Editor of The Star;

To the Editor of The Star:
The Soroptimist Club of the District
OF Columbia, an organization of busi-
ness and professional women, regrets
the impression created in the mind of
the public by the indiscriminate criti-
csm in The Evening Star news col-
umns and editorials of employment
agencies which limit their work to
the placing of clerical, stenographic,
technical and professional help.
Employers seek the services of an
agency that can sense their wants
and put them in contact with the
right party. They do not wish to
interview an indiscriminate mob of
unemployed seeking a. position. EN-
ployes seek an agency that will find
them employment with persons of
good personal and business moral
fiber, that will place them in con-
tact with healthful and agreeable
surroundings.
To serve we'll both the EMPLOYER
and the applicant for position, the
manager of an employment agency
must know a lot OF things about the
party seeking help-not only as to
the nature OF his business and of the
kind of work to be done, but Of his
personal peculiarities, integrity and
private morals. The manager must
be an excellent judge Of persons, must
personally interview the applicant. as
we'll as study the references, and
must have formed a judgment about
the kind Of place the applicant could
fill satisfactorily to all parties con-
cerned. This means that the man
ager must possess insight, imagina-
ton, good judgment, tact and keen
sense OF the fitness OF things. The
services of such a person are worth
paying for.
The Soroptimist Club numbers
among it's members some who serve
in the capacity of employers of the
type Of help in question, some who
have served as employees Of this class,
and some who have served in both
capacities. IT is the consensus of
opinion of the members assembled at
a regular luncheon that a commits
sion of 20 per cent to 25l per cent of
the first months salary is a very fair
price for the service rendered and the
benefits obtained
The employment agency is an insti-
tuition that business firms could i'll
dispense with. 1t is often a minister
ing angel to the person seeking en-
ployment, and its services are well
worth paying for,
The Soroptimist Club does not
question that there may be employ
ment agencies of different grades OF
business integrity and efficiency. II
the final result of the interest of The
Evening Star in this matter shall be
not to create a feeling that the serV-
ices of a reputable, dependable agency
are not worth all that is asked for
them, but shall serve to eliminate
inferior agencies and give proper
estimation of the real value to the
business world of good agencies. then
The Evening Star will have proved a
public benefactor. Otherwise harm
will have been done.

President the Soroptimist Club.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Princeton man, and studied political
economy there under Woodrow will
son.
His admirers find it characteristic
Of Calvin Coolidge's courage that he's
chosen the Minnesota State Fair
grounds as the forum for his first
post-presidential speech. The Pres
ident is going to address the Morse
centennial audience there in June.
Three years ago, during the 1922 con-
gressional campaign, Mr.. Coolidge,
then Vice President, had one of the
most disconcerting experiences a
public man can endure. He was max
ing a speech at the Minnesota State
fair, which is the biggest in the
country, and talking about the pros
perity which Republican rule at
Washington had bestowed upon the
country. Now, that was the year in
which the Minnesota farmers, embit-
tered and embattled, rose UP and slew
Frank B. Kellogg and elected Henrik
Shipstead to the Senate. They didn't
like the Vice Presidents prosperity
arguments. Also they were more
anxious to watch some horse races
than to hear him. The net result was
that Mr.. Coolidge "cut the cackle'
and stopped his speech. His return
in June will SAVIOR a bit Of boarding
the lion in its den. Senator Ship
stead will be in Minnesota to assist
in welcoming the President.
Warren F. Martin of Pennsylvania,
special assistant to three United
States Attorney General in success
sion-Daugherty, Stone and Sargent
is leaving the Department of Justice
in August. He will resume the prac-
tice of law, from which Philander c.
Knox snatched him when that dis
tinguisshed jurist entered the United
States Senate. Martins job outside of
the Attorney Generals Office in Wash
ington is to keep the wrong men from
getting inside. He learned the gentle
art of not making enemies while
serving as Knoxs private secretary.
A good many people don't know that
Barney Martin is a lawyer. A GER
tain United States Senator not long
ago had reason to question that fact
and asked somebody how much of a
lawyer Martin is. WELL" was the
reply, "Philander Knox had him draw
up the Knox will, and 1t recently
stood the test of an attempt to break
it through all the courts of Pennsyl-
vania up to the Supreme Court of
that State"

common justice. The National Fed
GRAFTON of Federal Employees, which
is the official mouthpiece of organized
Government workers, Is drawing up a
program for presentation to Congress
next December, on which it's executive
committee has recently acted.
Several changes favored by this
official body are worthy of sympathetic
consideration at the hands Of the
civil service committees Of the House
and Senate. For one thing, there
should be a complete and final stand.
ardization Of working conditions. 1t is
claimed by the federation that, al
though initiative should be encour-
aged, Government positions are so
standardized that working conditions
should also be similarly standardized.
This contention is worthy Of being
recognized and supported by Congress.
Among the changes recommended is
the liberalization of the funds allowed
Government employees while away
from base on Government business.
There is no question that the exist
ing law and regulations devised
hereunder work gross injustice upon
the employees in many instances.
Every department can cite instances.
In the Department Of Justice no
change has been made in the law
and regulations governing witness
fees and travelling expenses of wit
nesses and deputy marshals for 40
years. In the meantime travelling
conditions have changed and expenses
attendant thereon have increased.
Another question which should be
taken up is that of the 80 days an
nual leave which employees are sup
posed to be granted, but of which, in
many cases, they are unable to avail
themselves by reason Of condi ions of
work. The contention of the fedora
ton is that the 80 days annual leave
is either right or is not right, and their
status in this respect should be es-
tablished by law and maintained in
practice.

and him that takes To those who
become members of the Associated
Charities and to those who aid by
their contributions the work of char
ity-no matter how modest the con-
tribution--this truth cannot fail to
come home.
During the last fiscal year of the
Associated Charities items of material
:elief distributed through the )rgani-
zation, including the funds of the
Citizens Relief Association, aggre-
gated more than $4,000. Funds were
material relief, while of tremendous
aid, meaning in many cases saving
of homes from utter destruction and
disintegration, was, nevertheless, the
smaller part of the contribution made
by the Associated Charities to the
poor and the unfortunate Of the city.
Through it's employed and voluntary
workers practical and tangible serv-
ices have been given which represent
huge saving of money and, at the

ing. 1t is in these services that the or
ganization has particularly demon
strated its worth. 1t is these services
which show particularly the value Of
intelligent and organized charity
work.
The workers of the Associated Chari-
ties have been able to obtain for the
needy and the suffering medical atten-
ton free Of charge: they have been
able to find employment for the down
and out; they have found homes for
the evicted; they have acted as media
tors in cases between employees and
employers where the circumstances
have not been clearly known TO the
employers; they have obtained legal
advice for those who needed 1t and
were too poor to pay the price. They
have known where and how to obtain
assistance without delay for the in.

great co-ordinating force in the char

conjunction and through the many
organizations devoted to charity in the
National Capital. The citizen who be-

The Easter Campaign.

The Easter campaign Of the AS
sociated Charities for members and
funds is an appeal to all charitably
inclined citizens of Washington. II
deserves success in the utmost degree
1t will measure, not alone the kind
ness of heart Of the people of the
Capital City, but also their intelli
gence. Modern charity work is a
great task, requiring organization
and a corps of trained and volunteer
workers, as well as funds, if it is tc
be effective and constructive.
The Associated Charities of Wash
ington as an organization has dem
onstrated its value very many times
and women and children who have
come on evil times because Of sick
ness, accident, unemployment, de
sertion, crime or extreme poverty
have been assisted through it. Here
as in other modern cities, the realiza
ton has come that disorganized and
individual charity does not and can
not meet the needs that arise. With
out organization and system waste
