FAMOUS FOOLS
DIR. Row L. Smith

Contemporary judgments are seldom
safe judgements. The public has often
called men fools while they lived; whom
history has adjudged great after they
were dead.
eff you see man with an India rubber
coat on, India rubber shoes and India rub
Der cap and in his pocket an India rubber
purse with not a cent in it, that is Good
year," said the neighbors contemptuously
Of the man who struggled and starved for
eleven years in his search for a process by
which rubber could be vulcanized.
John Fitch, the first man to build a
steam boat, suffered more from the ridi-
cule of his neighbors than from mechan-
ical difficulties encountered. When the
Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia
adjourned to witness his trial trip, George
Washington was so little interested that
he took advantage Of the recess and accept
ed a dinner engagement instead.
! The first telephone was exhibited at the
Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in
J 1876 by Alexander Graham Bell but the
J strange instrument attracted little atten-
] ton and the public called it a silly play
! thing upon which grown man had vast
I ed good energy.
Samuel F. B. Morse was called fool for
I thinking he could stretch a wire between
! two cities and send messages across it by
J electric power. But new cable across the
J Atlantic Ocean was opened for traffic
few days ago which has capacity of twen-
! ty-five hundred letters per minute.
Elijah P Lovejoy was shot down in AL
ton, Illinois, in 1887 for his anti-slavery
agitation and in 1897 the same city erect
ed magnificent monument to his memory
Z which is the show place of the town today.
The people of Illinois thought Stephen
! A. Douglas was their great man and that
Abraham Lincoln was a second rate lawyer,
] but Douglas is remembered in 1926 chief
! ly because of the fact that he debated with
Mr.. Lincoln.
Susan B.. Anthony's name was a joke
throughout the nation thirty years ago be-
I cause she advocated the right of women
I to vote on an equality with men, and
I twenty five years later a constitutional

The fool of today may be the wise man

A PRAYER FOUND IN CHESTER
CATHEDRAL
Give me good digestion, Lord, and also some
thing to digest
Give me healthy body, Lord, with sense to keep
it at its best.
Give healthy mind, Lord, to keep the good

Which seeing sin in not appalled,, but finds a

Give me mind that is not bored, that does not
whimper, whine or sigh,
Don't let me worry over much about the fussy

Give me a sense Of humor Lord, give me the
grace to joke,
To get some happiness from life, and pass it on

Alexander Pope was a grand old poet b

Envy, be silent, and attend)

Handsome and witty, yet friend
Not warp'd by passion, awed by rumour;
Not grave through pride, nor gay through

An equal mixture of good-humour
And sensible soft melancholy.

Yes she has one, say tbs queer:
When all the world conspires to praise

INTRODUCES JUNIOR
COLLEGE MEASURE
Senator 0ddie Presents Joint
Resolution for D. c.
Institution.

Establishment Of Junior college as
a part of the public school system in
the District would be provided for
in joint resolution introduced in the
Senate today by Senator Oddie, Re
publican, Of Nevada. and referred to
committee for consideration.
Under the terms of the resolution a
portion of Rock Creek Park along the
west side of Sixteenth street between
Colorado avenue and Kennedy place
would be set aside the site for the
college The resolution also author
ICES expenditure Of $4,000 by the Dis.
trict Commissioners to prepare plans
and estimates for the college TO be
submitted to Congress not later than
December l. 1925.
The resolution reeites that such an
institution is needed because the local
school system does not extend beyond
the equivalent of twelfth grade edu-
cation. whereas a number of the
States go as far as the sixteenth
grade.
1t is further recited that higher
education is even more essential for
children in Washington than in many
other cities because of the absence of
opportunity for Washington children
TO obtain livelihood in industrial
concerns and in walks Of life where
only limited education is necessary.
The resolution also calls attention to
the efforts being made by the United
States Bureau of Education to en-
courage higher education.

Unable to Ban Albright
Parking He Clamps Lid
on Publicity.

Unexpected developments came as
a sequel today to the action OF the
District Commissioners yesterday in
refusing to adopt a proposed regu-
lation 20 prohibit all-night parking.
Traffic Director Nj. O. Eldridge and
his assistant, Col. l. G. Moller. have
sealed their lips when in the pres
ence OF newspaper reporters. Ihe
only explanation they gave for their
sudden decision to step out of the
public limelight was that the Traffic
Bureau had been getting entirely too
much publicity, and they think IL
high time for some other municipal
department, like the Police or Fire
Department, to maneuver into public
attention.
The new traffic control lights on Mas
sachusetts avenue between Twelfth
and Eighteenth streets were turned
on late yesterday. completing the
first unit of Washington's automatic
signal system. but the newspapers
did not learn of the event until to-
day Mr.. Eldridge said that had the
newspapers notified the public In ad
vance as to the time the lights were
10 be turned on, every motorist in
town" would have driven out Massa
chuSettS avenue to see how the sig
nails worked.
He intimated that the jam and con
fusion on sixteenth street Tuesday
when the lights We're put into oper'
alton, were due to the mad rush of
motorists to try out the new system.
Anyhow, the traffic directors office
Is muzzled, so to speak. Views origi-
mating in this young and important de-
partment Of District government must
now come through Commissioner
Frederick a. fleming. who has charge
OF the Traffic Department.
Asked If he had issued orders to
stop the flow Of news from the traffic
directors office, Commissioner Fen
ming replied firmly in the negative.
Questioned as to whether he had ad
vised Mr.. Eldridge to seal his lips and
those Of his colleagues when news
paper men drop in to see him, Mr..
Fenning replied:
II discussed the matter with Mr..
Eldridge. l think he has made a very
wise decision"
