Mirrors are so very easy TO
obtain. and 50 undeniabIy useful,
that their importance as an ele-
ment of home decoration has not
always been adequately appre.
ciated.
Perhaps the greatest usefulness
of mirrors lies in their light
rejecting power. So potent is
this power that a mirror, advan-
tageously placed on a wall di-
rectiy facing a window, is often
all that is required to convert an
insufficiently lighted room into u
place of the utmost cheeriness,
Such a treatment Is, OF course,
particularly desirable in the case
OF halls, where the amount OF
entering daylight is but rarely
adequate, but it is also sometimes
vitality necessary in bathrooms.
The customary equipment Of a.
bathroom calls for mirror above
the lavatory. When this one mir.
ror happens to face the window
it appreciably assists the natural
lighting. That is an excellent
reason why more mirrors should
be used. There might. for ex-1
ample, be long mirror set in the

fice-at least not for q very long
time.
But there is no foundation for
this anti.feminist argument, nor
for the one which goes with II
that women are essentially I'M
fitted for political endeavor.
Politics no longer are matter
of sex, theoretically, and before
many years this will be true
actually. Nor is honesty, eff
cheney, conscientious, square deal
ing a matter of sex.
There always have been--per-
haps always will be--persons, both
men and women. whose natures
seem devoid of fine, high regard
for truth. They are greatly in the
minority; If this lack were as uni!
versal as certain cynical ones de-
clare the world would have
swirled into chaos long ago.
But this, too, as / say has moth.
ing to do with sex. For one
woman convicted of dishonesty in
public office there have been
dozens of men. But this proves
nothing for, OF course, men have
been holding public office for
years while women are only be-
ginning.
The belief, supposed to be a
thing of the past, that women's
capacity Is limited to keeping
house and bringing up children,
still fingers. unfair as it is.
Women themselves are the ones
to abolish this--not by argument
or by any violent effort, but by
quietly working along the road
10 accomplishment.
And a part OF that quiet effort
may be expressed in refraining
from any chagrin over one of
their number who proves herself
unworthy of the trust reposed in
her by the public. Truth. which
always proves itself, has nothing
to fear from lie.

Usefulness Of Mirrors IN Home

OF repetition can even be called
on TO bring into one room some
interesting detail Of an adjoining
room.
Even the beauty Of the great
world out-of doors can be brought
inside by mirrors of carefully
studied position. In sun rooms
and in any other rooms having a
relatively large window area, mir
rors can so line the inner walls
that the indoor and outdoor,
scenes will almost appear to be
continuous.
In further proof OF their adap-
tatability mirrors can, however.
be successfully used to increase
the apparent size Of very small
rooms. The light.reflecting abil-
ity of mirrors is chiefly RESPONSE
Bile in this instance. since light Is
almost always symbolic of big
ness and airiness. The repetitions
which mirrors provide also would
tend to a sense of greater size.
As a case in point, IL mirrors

PLANS
FOR NEW PARK
BOULEVARD
"" W01H

Plans for a park boulevard
from Washington to Mt
Vernon, along the banks OF
the Potomac River, were adj
vanced today by the House
Roads Committee, which favor
ably reported the Moore bill,
authorizing an appropriation
Of 81, 500, 900 to carry out the
plan.
The committees action followed
a public hearing at which the bill
was advocated by Senator Claude
Swanson and Representative r.
Walton Moore of Virginia, Thomas
Fl. Macdonald. chief of the bureau
of public roads; Lieut.. Col. u. s.
Grant III, executive officer of the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, and others.
The bill has already been passed
by the Senate, and If the House APP
proves the recommendations of this
committee, the measure will go to
the President for signature.
At the hearing today, Macdonald
told the committee that two routes
for the boulevard are under con-
sideration. He said he favored a
route along the waterfront, which
would be a little longer and little
more expensive than the other
The boulevard, he said. should be
made part of the Rock Creek
Potomac Park development.
This would give Washington a
parkway running from the Mary
land side of the District all the
way down to Mt. Vernon.
Representative Robert Clancy OF
Michigan, urged that the boule-
bard be made the most beautiful
roadway in the world and a model
for the country.
Definite decision as to the route
and plans for the highway are left
by the bill up to the United States
Commission for the celebration of
the 200th anniversary OF the George
Washington's birth. 1t is planned
to complete the highway in time for
that celebration in 1882.
