SAVES PENNIES FOR
CAPITAL CHRISTMAS


IS FES, HULL has capital plan
W. OF saving and giving Christ
laaS capital which she calls
her fancy fund because she uses 1t
exactly as she wishes, with no drawing
on the regular family income" Mrs.
Ross exclaimed enthusiastically to her
friends at an afternoon tea.
The day after Christmas Mrs. Hull
begins saving pennies that come into
her hands through the year. She
places them in a toy bank and adds
six per cent interest at the end Of
the year. Ii she has saved ten dol
lars in pennies she adds sixty cents,
which she says pays postage on her
Christmas parcels. She always has a
fund for Christmas, for she has never
acquired the penny habit of giving to
church activities. Last year she di-
vided the fancy fund among her
nieces and nephews, with instructions
that the small amount was to be
placed in saving and to be added to,
or used as capital to compile more
capital. The results were interesting,
for each recipient must always keep
that amount in reserve for future
savings account.
"Once Mrs. Hull purchased seeds
and bulbs and distributed them where
they would be appreciated; once she
subscribed for magazines which rO-
tated among large number of read
ers, some in public institutions. An
other time she ordered toys, games
and books for a childrens home; an
other year she procured dozens of
small dolls, with remnants for clothes,
to send to a needy mission school.
Once she sent hundreds of greeting
cards, and once scores of inspiring
notices to places where such things
are seldom seen. Her mother one
year received a fresh bouquet or plant
every few weeks during the year. This
year her husband, who promised her
his pennies, has added to her fancy
fund She has over twelve dollars
with the interest, and she has figured
she may spend twenty-five cents each
week during the year in making some
one happer-tifty-two weeks of send
ing Christmas cheer! AS ideas and
opportunities present themselves each
week she will use the fund The first
week she invited a homesick college
boy into her home to spend the week
end
1T seems to me that Mrs Hull is
accommodating more than cold capital
in her penny plan. She is establish
ing a bank of blessings with unlimited
reserve funds of love- which com
pounds interest at a rapid rate and
pays one hundred per cent"
"Divinelike dividends" Mrs Leigh
answered softly.-Gertrude Walton

The Beginning and the End.

Concrete strides toward what has
too long seemed a wholly idealistic
dream are about TO be taken in the
matter Of linking Rock Creek and
Potomac Parks. 1t is, true that for
some years past the Government has
been acquiring the needed land. Yet
the lower valley of the famous little
stream along which we were told the
linking roadway was to run has till
now remained an unsightly tangle of
vegetation and general debris, and
the Washingtonian, contemplating the
scene from one or another of the city's
traversing bridges, had begun to feel
about the park plan as little boys feel
about the vague future when dreams
OF driving the back truck of a hook
and-ladder or being permitted to name
their own bedtime shall come true.
The new appropriation, to become
available on July 1, is small. it is
true-only $4,000 of the $500, 900
needed to complete the work of clean
ing up the valley and building a
yet it gives the project a fresh start.
Beginning at the Zoo end and work
ing south from the terminus of the
present valley road it will be pushed
by Col. Sheriff. as far and as fast as
the money will go. And the hope
and expectation is that Congress will
not suffer the work to stop until the
remaining 122 acres of land to be
purchased have been acquired, and
the 3 miles of road affording a com.
plete park drive from the District line
to the tip of Potomac Park have been
completed.
The achievement of desire long de.
ferred is heady wine. Slipping it, ones
tancies run riot. One sees the drive
way extended across the great Memo
rial Bridge and into Arlington. One
visions it passing in dignity through
a Mall which extends from its present
narrow confines to stately govern.
mental buildings on the south side of
the Avenue. One dreams of it linked
with a great boulevard which shall
circle the city to the forts which de.
Tended it to the north. bisected by
those broad avenues which shall be
the approaches to the Nations Capitol
from North and South and East and
West.
A subtle wine, and a potent one. in
deed. Yet the best part of the dreams
one dreams under its influence is that
some day they Shall come true. The
lower Rock Creek road seems but the
beginning today, yet it was all begun
long and long ago. And though the
progress is much too slow. it is prog
ress to an end in which the CITY and
the Nation shall some day take i'm
measurable pride.

Press Sees Duty Fulfilled r
In Return of Isle of Pines

States has been in the position of a

plish a better feeling" The Utica
ObserverDispatch states: There
should be no wavering in our treat
ment of the South American coun-
tries. So far as known, there. has
never been any division over the
ideals expressed by Elihu Root when
Secretary of State, or later by Presi-
dent Wilson in his address to pam
American delegates" The Detroit
News regrets that the Senates pro-
crastination encouraged land specu-
lators ito grab island tracts for a
song and sell them at fabulous profits
to Americans. 1t is these settlers,
naturally, who have4been most active
in combating the treaty. The Lynch
burg News finds that there is evil
dence of a general belief that the
Nation has acted with wisdom and
justice. This should demonstrate, it
says, by concrete object lesson, that
the United States not only insists
that the powers of the Eastern Henri
sphere shall not dominate in South
and Central America, but also seeks
no such domination herself"

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

IT is very pretty day. oh, all
right
Mrs. Plover brings her darling child
Jenny around to call. Now Jenny
ought never to be brought to call
on anybody At the least, 1t is a
misdemeanor, and at the worst a
crime.
Jenny, who is bright and cute and
up to tricks. is going on years
old. Within her charming person
she confines the vitality of six colts,
the stubborness of six mules and the
meanness of a couple of whelps. G
do not know exactly what a whelp
is, but it fits Jenny all right)
Now sit down over there" says
Jenny's mamma, for effect. Knowing
her offspring pretty we'll by this time,
Mrs. Plover realizes that Jenny will
not even hear the request, much less
heed it.
80 glad you came over. Mrs.
Plover." says the wife, while you,
; in acute misery. keep watchful
eye on Jenny. You do not have long
to wait.
The bright sprite sprints over to
the radio table.
"Ah-ah," clucks Mrs. Plover to her
Ploverette. You love that warning
cluck. 1t sounds so-ferocious-and is
Iso-meaningless. II Is but sound and
fury, Notwithstanding.
Jenny knows 1t. too, as well as you
do. The young imp makes a grab for
the top of the radio, and raises the
cover. peering down into the inner
| recesses. where repose the expen-
sive tubes
What are these? screams Jenny
seizing one of the tubes in her club
by little hands.
Let that alone you warn, spring
ing forward. Mrs. Plover calmly rocks
| away.
Let the radio things alone. honey
she breathes.
Honey, by this time. despite your
frantic haste, has managed to do what
you feared-break one of the tubes
your favorite detector tube, at that!
"Oh, I'm so sorry" rocks Mrs.
Plover.
"Oh. it doesn't matter" you grit
out.
wouldn't it be great if you could
actually make the following speech
Mrs. Plover. this brat of yours ought
to be left home when you call. If you
do not mind allowing her to destroy
your own things, you should have
some pity on your friends. What she
| needs Is the broad side of a paddle
Allow me to make one for you.'
Il x X X
Yet, after all, perhaps it is just as
well for us that we cannot do what
we want to. say what we would like
or not do what we do not want to!
Methinks that would be something
| like the modern trend in household
appliances. The object and aim OF
manufacturers seems to be to take all
| motion, all effort, out of running a
home.
In the old days a woman brought up
six children. cooked, did the washing
cared for the house. and did few
other odd jobs, and never thought SO
much of 1t.
Today a. woman has an electric
| washing machine, and hires a colored
girl to run it.
Not that any one would wish the
old days returned. God knows every
thing for the emancipation Of women
is welcome. But pretty soon modern
life will become static, If this thing
keeps on.
You had to hop up every three TO
five minutes to put d new record on
your photograph. Now you have a
radio that runs itself all evening.
Life may get too easy for enjoy
ment. Similarly. if we never did any
| thing but what we wanted to do. and
always said what we thought, per-
haps society could not stand the
strain.

Employment Agencies.

A thorough official investigation
should be made of charges that local
employment agencies are exacting ex.
cessive fees from persons seeking
work, and if the law is being violated
the licenses of offending agencies
should be reyoked and the offenders
punished. There is no place in the
National Capital for a business that
takes unfair advantages of the neces.
sites of the unfortunate.
The head of one agency writes n
The Star that the law limiting to 80
the fee which may be charged app,ies
only to domestic help and laborers
That is contrary to the, view of the
corporation counsel, and is a matter
Tor the courts to decide The same
agency head contends that mo pri
Vate employment agency could exist
in this city on commission charge Of
less than 20 or 25 per cent of thc
months salary and argues that
these charges are the same as those
in effect in Baltimore. PhiIade,nbia
and New York for positions secured
IN business and professional capacf.
ties.
If it is true employment agencies
cannot exist without charges of 90 70
20 per cent of an applicants frs,
months salary, then the business is
uneconomically conducted and should
be put on a better basis. 1t is too
heavy toll to take from the meaper
earnings of the type of workers who
are employed through agencies. If
the business cannot be conducted
economically on the present. connect.
tive basis, it should be rendered non.
competitive, or, if necessary. placed
upon an official or institutional basis
wherever the fault lies, it should be
searched out and corrected. There is
not and cannot be any sound excuse
