If the Senate Stands Firm the
6O-4O Plan Will Prevail

Senator Wesley I. Jones' most influential member of
both Senate committees that form District legislation IN that
body tells the Washington Chamber Of Commerce that
imperative that equitable adjustment be made Of the fiscal
relations between the District and Federal Governments
The people of the nation want Washington be the finest
capital in the world he states and bring that about they
desire the nation to do its rightfu part.
Senator JONES' always friendly to Washington people and
always minded when dealing with appropra
tious for support Of the nest capital the world
for 604o basis Of fiscal relations unless something
better and fairer can be worked out.
This newspaper has already pointed that the United
States Senate composed Of who take NATIONAL view
toward their NATIONAL CAPITAL the power put
end to the $000Oo0 lump plan here These Upper House

attempting to asten unjust taxation upon District people that

Despite this broad Senate that body has, the
last four years. LAID DOWN to the House combination which
nothing about this ciys future long they
Stick local people for increased taxation.
The Times reiterates that Senators Jones' Capper and
other Senators who believe that the nation should more
generously share in the financial burdens Of the District will
serve notice the House Appropriations Committee that the
Cramton plan must give way to something faire the problem
will be settled, for while, at least.
The House appropriations combination has ruthey pushed
the Camton 100000 scheme Senate though that
body is undoubtedly opposed to it
The House game has been to delay the District appropriation
bill until as late in session of Congress possible and then
tell the Senate that the bill through the House unless
the lump plan is accepted by the Senate Rather than
threaten the passage Of the House BILL the Senate has yielded
The Senate in the District appropriation bill will be guided
by what the Senate conferees who be-
eve that the Cramon scheme unjust and threatens the
progress Of the District have nothing to do but warn the
House conr that the Senate had yielded enough and
will now insist on the right thing being done
Patriotic farseeng Senator's who stand for truly great
National Capital have it wholly within their power to correct
distinct wrong at this session of Congress.

dreamer. to keep yourself out of
the same class, to cure yourself
of the habit IL you have it, will
be successful just as soon as you
succeed in making real things
more attractive than imaginary
things.
Nothing helps more than train
: ing in the art of receiving beauty.
Point out to your child the actual
beauty in things, flowers, trees,
animals, human beings. the great
face of nature. Train yourself to
see the same beauty. A little drill
in drawing and painting helps a
lot.
The one hope of salvation for
day-dreaming child is for him to
see that no game is quite so good
as the game of meeting life as
it comes. You can't learn to
skate without falling down. You
can't learn to swim without get
ting ducked and swallowing water.
What we all need is the spirit of
adventure. This always leads us
into situations which We must
either get round or face the con-
sequences of failure.
There are two great pulls i'm
life. One is the backward pull
running away from life-and the
other is the hero pull, which
draws us forward into danger for
the sake of what lies behind it.
One is the depression of failure,
the other is the thrill of success.
The Freudians say that this
backward pull is the desire to re-
turn to the state of life before
birth. The most dependent and
comfortable time we have ever
our life. We had no responsible
ties, we were safe from bumps, we
were fed and warmed without
having to make an effort of any
kind. And the pull remains, so
these Freudians say. 1t makes
us play for safety. 1t causes US
to turn our eyes back to that de-
lightful Nirvana with which we be-
gan existence and in which we
had no responsibilities. This, of
course, is a fanciful theory but
it does suggest the trend of phan-
tastic impulse.
When a child Is born. 1t has to
realize that life is a series of ad-
ventures. If life is really like
that-and it certainly is-then it
is vitality necessary that we should
have the spirit of adventure to
enable us to tackle it. What is,
the essence of the adventure pull,
the hero motive Of all stories?
That the hero Is man who goes
out looking for trouble. finding
trouble, meeting trouble. A real
hero is nothing more nor less than
a man who doesn't dodge trouble,
but who faces 1t when it comes
and downs it!
Phantasies vary as much as
human beings. DIR. Rees tells of two
girls who came to him as pa.
tents. They had kept up a phan-
tasy ever since they were school
children. Whenever they had a
holiday they used to meet and
tell each other of it. 1t was a
never-ending novel. But it was a

The hills and valleys float within
an amber glaze. Toward evening
there's a restless tension in the
air-the dry soil quickens-that
night the first rain comes and,
in the morning. wind. Leaves
fall in flurries-trees stand naked,
etched against a sky of stinging
blue. You feel the summer
crumble under foot There is
a pungent odor OF decay-the
leaves are going back to whence
they came.
But even as life loosens its
fierce grip and gives its body
back to mother earth, new life
is rising through the rotting
mold. Down every hillside
through each crack and chink-
along the sidewalk-on the gar.
den path-new grass is bursting
in bright emerald veins. You
see Falls dimming glory through
a veil Of green. Bright blades
hew bravely through the sodden
leaves. And violets break to pur-
pie where springs roses sleep.
Winter or Spring-which is it?

mid'passage loveliness was never
classified. These flowers that

Only, We fight so bitterly, as
nature never fights.
We cringe so cravenly from

beauty-view our scars with rage

each faint hope
If We would yield ourselves to
life, facing our passing seasons
