The Mothers Greatness.

No fnea. tribute to feminine graces
In contained in the Bible than that re-
corded in the thirty-first chapter Of the
Book of Proverbs. 1t In "A glowing
tribute to wifehood and motherhood,
"The heart Of her husband Goth safely
trust in her; she will do him good and
not evil all the days of her lfe' or
her unfailng devotion 10 her house,
hold the writer says: ''Iier candle
goeth not out by night she atretcheth
out her hand to the poor yea. she
reacheth forth her hands TO the
needy" "She looketh we'll tn the ways
of her household and eateth not the
bread Of idleness." Little wonder Ia
IT that her children "arise UP and call
her blessed: her husband also, ard he
praisoth her" 1t is lofty eoncer-
ton OF the mother Of the household
Nothing that is here written concern
ing her Ia more significant than the
passage. I'm her tongue In the law of
kindness" There can be little higher
in the way of the fultillment Of tho
Graces and virtues of motherhood than
this The law of kindness implies
gentle and understanding heart. IT
will not be hindered or distracted
through misunderstanding nor will
it yield to the petty annoyances that
day by day cause friction and unhap-
piness. The law of kindness will not
reckon with these. It recognizes with
understanding sympathy tempera-
mental inequalities and those elements
that render members of a household
dissimilar in thought and practice.
The law of kindness resists and over
comes the unconsidered and thought
less utterance and readily forgives
the unwilling act of disobedience. The
mother Of the household like Mary
of old. penetrates beneath the surface
of things. weighs with fine discrim-
ination the differences in those who
constitute the household and exercise
a judgment that finds its inspiration
in the law of kindness. 1t is safe to
say that this supreme gift of mother
love is one of the mightiest factors
in the shaping of character, and that
1t contributes more to an orderly and
peaceful home life than all else. 1t is
the source of contentment and the
inspiration to higher thinking and liv-
ing. Subtract this from our home
life and we impoverish it,
We are not thinking, concerning this
great virtue, Of that kind of cheap
sentimentality that discloses itself in
undiscriminating kindness. Kindness
without the loving word of counsel is
futile. Kindness that reckons not with
an ordered and orderly household

edifice 1t is not generally known that
the designs were selected from rs of
unusually high merit that were sub
mitted. The site, which was long
known as Van Ness Park. was first ac-
quired by George Washington Univer-
sity. Andrew Carnegie contributed
$S50,000 of the $1,100.000 that the
structure cost. James G. Blaine, then
Secretary of State, presided at the first
Pan-American Conference held here in
1889-90. On the second floor, the foyer

Is the site of the historic cottage of
Davy Burnes. one of the four original
owners of the land comprising the
Capital City. This cottage. long known
as the oldest house in Washington,
which survived to the end If the nine
teenth century, was once the rendez-
vous of George Washington, Thomas
Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton and
Aaron Burr. Here also the poet Tom
Moore was a guest. Close by this old
cottage later stood what was the finest
mansion in Washington erected by p.
Van Ness TO his bride, who was
Burnes' beautiful daughter. There is
a tradition that the conspirators who
assassinated Lincoln had planned to
capture him and confine him in the
wine watts in the cellar of this Van

Trained Diet Supervisors.
In the United States the idea of
school lunches was introduced, as in
England, as a means of providing
extra nourishment for those children
who came to school without break
fast, or who were underfed, largely
due to poverty. There has developed
the school lunch, which is a hot mid
day meal for children who live too far
to go home for lunch, or who for
some reason would not have an ade-
quate lunch. These lunches are paid
for by the children. The movement
has gained popularity. Many schools
are recognizing the need for trained
nutrition supervisors to plan the
meals and to train and guide the
children in the choice of food. In this
way the school lunch becomes a most
effective means of health education

When hostilities between Russia
and Turkey broke out in the Spring
VIZ of 1877 there was a
Esta hlished correspondents TO
1S'" "oAASA0u' the front. They
were, however, met with difficulties, as
instanced by the following in The Star
of May /, 1877:
1T will not be very gratifying to the
conductors of American journals who
have sent out war correspondents to
the seat of war in Europe to know
that severe censorship over their dis.
patches will probably be maintained
during the continuance of the strug-
gle. 1t is already announced by tele-
graph that all war news must be sub
mitted to a special committee before
being published in the Russian papers,
and it is quite likely that as rigid a
scrutiny will be exercised in the case
of foreign correspondents. since war
intelligence will appear quite as early,
at least in American, English, French
and German papers. as it will in the
Russian journals, and maybe, by the
use of the modern telegraphic facil-
tiles, quite as soon transmitted to the
enemy. In the Union Army during
the War of the Rebellion, while as a
rule no formal censorship was exer-
cised, correspondents were neverthe-
less held to a strict accountability for
their publications. The understanding
was that they were to tell the truth,
but under certain circumstances not
the whole truth, and for disregarding
this understanding several correspond
ents found themselves in the guard
house, and one was ANONYMOUSLY
drummed out of the Army

however for many years after that
women were admitted on virtually an
equality with men to the departmental
ranks. In The Star of May 4, 1877,
is the following:
''It is a noteworthy fact that at the
recent competitive examinations held
at the Interior Department for tempo
rary cierkships in the Pension Office
no females were admitted to the trial
This recalls the fact that as a rule
women are employed only in subordi-
nate positions in the different depart
ments of the Government. This might
be attributed to a want of capacity on
the part of female employees to prop
erly discharge the more important du-
ties of responsible positions. But the
fact Is that in making promotions
discrimination in the matter of sex is
usually made, and the discrimination
is almost invariably in favor of the
stronger vessel. 1t is true, however.
that in some cases the qualifications
of female employees are not such as to
entitle them to promotion They may
possess various graceful accomplish
ments and yet be lamentably lacking
in a knowledge of the rudimental
branches of education. 1t is to the
credit of female employees to say, how
ever, that instances of untrustworth
ness or dishonesty seldom, if ever, oc-
cur among them, which is more than
can be said of their male associates"

Few men have enjoyed the long and
eventful political life that Senator
Simeon y. Fess of Ohio has achieved.
He started his political activities in
the famous Blaine campaign in 1884,
while working his way through col
lege His latest public appearance was
to decline to serve by appointment of
Vice President Dawes on the famous
Reed slush fund commttee-just a lit
tie matter of some AZ years, but he is
still going strong. During all that time
he has participated actively in every
national campaign. Away back in the
storied days of 1896, before the silver
campaign started, young Fess was en-
gagged in joint debates on the silver
question with Representative Tame
hin of Ohio and Gov. st. John of Kan
sas. In 1900, on the 432nd ballot, after
a five-day convention he was defeated
for the nomination for Congress. He
served in the House from 1913 to 1921,
and has been a recognized leader in
both branches of Congress.
Known as the Scholar in Politics"
and as "the man who put Fess in
Professor" because for many years
he was a college professor and coll
lege president, he has taught $4,000
students, including some of his col
leagues in Congress-such as Senator
Willis, Representative Clint Cole and
former Representative Ralph Cole,
Judge Matthias of the Ohio Supreme
Court and Supt. Jones of the Cleve-
land public schools.

Big Timber. Saving
On Railroad Ties

Atlanta, Ga.-Timber sufficient
to build 100000 six-room houses of
average design, or enough to provide
homes for city of 100000 people
nearly twice the size of Atlanta-is
being saved by the railroads of the
country annually by their rapidly
growing practice of treating the ties
in their tracks with preservatives to
protect them against decay, accord
ing to a statement made in Atlanta
by railway executives. The railways
may we'll point with pride to this rec
ord, for it is claimed, it is not even
approached by any other large wood
using industry.
The railways, Atlanta executives
stated, consume approximately one
seventh of all the timber produced to-
day. 1t has long been known that the
injection of certain chemicals, prin-
cipally creosote and zinc chloride, in
to wod will sterilize it against the
agencies of decay.
1t has been demonstrated that
treatment properly administered will
more than double the life of ties, in
creasing their service in track from
five to eight years when untreated to
from twelve to fifteen or even twenty
years when treated.

Dairy Farm Products
Always In Demand

Atlanta, Ga.-The dairy farmer has
the most advantageous position of any
one-crop man, according to officials
of the Georgia Department of Agri-
culture, because, in the present time
ia least, minimum of milk and but
ter are considered almost as neces-
sary as bread itself, and because an
increase in prosperity always means
an increased demand for his products.
Officials say that the point of satur-
alton for cream, first class butter and
ice cream is never reached and proba-
bly, that for milk and cheese is sol
dom reached. The reason that diver
sified farming is in the long run most
profitable is that the farmer can share
