Habadou tried to telephone. Mulai
Hamada declined to listen. but called
back the palace at Rabat and gave
orders to the palace attendants at
thatPplace to throw the dismissed one
out of the house. This command was
literally obeyed. the palace staff being
delighted at the opportunity to turn
the tables on their longtime tyrant
So now Ben Habadou is out in the
cold. the palace servants are pleased
and the young Sultan feels that he
has established his reign upon a basis
of independence.
This action of the new ruler of Mo-
rocco Is to be applauded. He would
have been seriously Handicapped IL he

who had been for years the virtual
monarch Of Morocco behind the robes
Of the Sultan. 1t is. of course. sad
to see lifelong servitor of the crown
swept out upon a change of regime
But If the tales that are told of Ben
lTabadou are only in part true he was
a pernCious influence at Rahat and
at Fez. He had complete dominion
over the mind Of the Sultan. Progress
sive as that monarch was Ben Haba
dcu led him into many mistakes of
Judgment that brought about serious
results.
The character Of the young Sultan
is evidenced by this determined act.
He may prove to be even more pro-
gressive than his late father He has
an opportunity to bring Morocco for,
ward long way. There are peren
NAL tribal difficulties. There are in
ternationai complications. But both
elements of the problem of Moroccan
government are now reduced to the
lowest terms for many years Morocco
occupies a commanding position and
under intelligent and progressive ad
minist'ation may become an impor.
tant factor. The present prayer of
the powers of Europe is that young
Sidi Mulai Hamada will not follow up
his victory over Ben Habadou by un.
doing the good things his father ac.
complished despite the reactionary in
fuences that beset him.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

The childish delight of mankind to
get something for nothing begins in
the early years, as might be expected
1t is not so commonly realized that
many persons never outgrow it.
All children reach out their greedy
hands for candy. toys, all bright and
interesting things that come within
their reach. expecting that anything
which takes the eye must he theirs by
divine right.
Often enough it is so. The modern
child lives in perpetual holiday, as
fond parents and acquaintances pile
gift upon gift.
Little Johnnie laughs at the old
song, "ChristmaS Comes But Once a
Year. Christmas comes every day
or 50, and he knows it! At the worst
it comes every week or two, coincident
with Mothers trips downtown.
What have YOU bought for me-?
is the question, as Mother comes
through the front door laden down
with bundles The gift for the child
occupies an important place on every
shopping list. and if it is overlooked
tears and wailinG will be the order of
the day.
Many a grown-up. however. has as
ccaSeleSS an interest in getting some
thing for nothing as the worst spoiled
child.
First Of all. it may be admitted that
it is possible to get something for
nothing. There is a school of thought
which holds this to be as impossible
as the discovery of the fountain of
youth. the transmutation of lead into
gold, or the invention of genuine per-
petual motion machine. We believe
them to be wrong In relation to the
ability to get something for nothing,
however. And mistaken in believing it
to he wrong.
Take the child. 1t gets something
for nothing, in pure sense, in the low.
ing care and vigilance of it's parents.
who try their best to think of every.
thing to help it along the path Of life.
to safeguard its way and to make it
happy.
The love lavished upon most babies
is 4 pure gift of something for moth
ing, the return to the mother not be-
ing accountable under any such Grass
terminOlosy as pay"
In true sense the child gets some
thing for nothing, great something
which 1t has not yet earned, and in
some cases never will merit
Much the same thing holds good in
other human relationships There
are many women with pretty faces
and warped souls who receive admira.
ton without any return, who in
real sense get something for nothing
Every one knows some self-sacrific-
ing man or woman. who ennobles our
common human nature. who gives to
some other one a precious gift for
the giving. without thought of pay
mtnt or profit.
The one who receives this benefit.

Depressing Dress.

The quartermaster general of the
Army in his just-issued annual report
testities that the clash between
economy and style as regards the uni.
forms of that branch of our fightin,
forces is having a depressing effect
on the men. This verdict of Maj. Gen.
Frank Cheatham is in line with opin
ions of weight expressed ever since
the armistice. SO far the economy en-
thusiasts have won out, to the conse.
quent encouragement of the enlisted
personnel and the disappointment of
the public which supports the Army.
The quartermaster general was dis
cussing in particular the style of the
olive-drab garb which is now the only
authorized uniform. Linked up with
this question is the one of reviving
the old blue dress uniform. Several
enthusiastic attempts in this direction
have been made, but the economists
have so far succeeded in scotching
them.
Only last month the Bureau of the
Budget rejected such plan on the
part Of Army authorities. with the
dictum that such would entail the ex-
penditure of more than a million dol
lars. On the occasion of the burial of
the late President Harding a high
ranking Army general, contrasting
the appearance Of Uncle Sans sol
diers and sailors, declared that he
blushed for the appearance of the for
mer. Gen. Cheatham has done the best
he can. He has popped up" the cut
of the olive-drab dress; he has replaced
bronze buttons with gilt; he has au-
thorized the issuance of one new roll.
collar suit to each enlisted man. At
the same time, only khaki, distinctly
the garb of war, obtains, and the only
way in which the soldier or his officer
can prepare himself for a gala official
function, military or social, is by ex
ira attention to the haircut, the shine
and the shave.
Great Britain. in the face of eco.
nomic handicaps the antithesis of our
prosperity. has found the means to
rehabilitate it's army in the pre-war
dress. 1t cost her something, but from
the standpoint of morale and tradition
she found it we'll worth her while.
Only recently Washington had an op.
portunity to note the way the Domin-
ion of Canada dresses her troops on
parade. 1t Is beyond doubt that their
colorful and snappy appearance in
crimson, blue, gold, tartans, ETC., made
4 tremendous impression on the popu-
lation of the District. How high Gov
srnment officials could watch these de-
tachments at Arlington on the occa-
sion Of the unveiling Of the Canadian
memorial war cross, or on the follow.
ing day at the White House, and fail
to be impelled by desire to have our
own physically magnificent soldiers
appear cOfnpardDly dS wen, is past uH-
derstandng. Many and many mil
lion dollars is spent each year and
each month by the Federal Govern
ment for purposes far less wise and
far less beneficial to all concerned.
Lift the enlisted man out of his de-
preston. Give him at least one change
of clothing over and above the light

comes with the changing seasons. No
other reputable class of men suffers
from the same disability. and no other
class would do more credit to Uncle
Sam if the latter should prove a lib
aral-minded clothier.
