More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE :
IN PRAISE OF A NATION

Liberia is not so great
When viewed upon the map,
The nations for this tiny state
Give not a single rap.
Her export trade is rather small,
Scarce worthy of glance "a
Liberia hardly rates at all
In realms of world finance.
Sometimes regarded as joke
The country is, and yet
She never said she would go broke !.
If she paid up her debt.
INDECENT are her folk and weak,
Yet never did they say
That Uncle Sam ought not to seek
To make them pay and pay.
They never called him mean and cold
And nliserly no end
Because he rolled in ninted gold
Which ne could never spend
No protests nor complaint they made,
But wilted down their collars
Until they finally had paid
That thirty thousand dollars.
Liberia has no ships to rove
The rocking, restless sea,
No strong box filled with treasure trove
And stocks and bonds has she.
She has no bays nor broad armed ports
Upon which navies ride
She has no armies and no forts,
She only has her pride.
And though you sneer at her mayhap
< You ought not to forget
That, though speck upon the map
She settled up her debt.

BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON - Massive public
buildings, the treasury, the army and
navy building, legations and embassies,
Red Cross headquarters and stately art
galleries almost bury little house in
New York avenue which is the mecca
of thousands of brides and grooms on
a wedding trip to Washington.
A breath of the arbutus of New Eng
land or the moors of Nantucket hovers
about the little green and white
Shingle house, its paned and trellised
doorway, and it's welcoming knocker.
The little house is the national Girl
Scouts headquarters. It was donated
to the Girl Scouts by the National
Federation of Women's clubs, who
built it for demonstration week in
their famous better homes movement
The little house is modelled after the
boyhood home of John Howard Payne,
author of Home, Sweet Home"
President Harding called it "the
most 1ivable home in America"
Brides and grooms at the rate of
so couples a day have made beaten
track up the walk, and gratefully pay
their hostess, Mrs. Gertrude L. Bow
man, quarter for the privilege of
walking through this dream home of
their own.
The quarter goes into the Girl
Scouts own family ginger jar!
The little house should be built for
about $1,000 in any part of the coun-
try, the hostess says.
1t has a fully equipped basement,
a living room, dining room, reception
hall, breakfast nook and kitchen on
the first floor, three bedrooms,
and a bath on the second
floor.
Furnishings are entirely in the early
American design. Spriggy, chintzy wall
paper covers almost every room, and
restfulness is the homes keynote.
