COSMOPOLITAN

Some are English, some French and some German.
There are Chinese and japanese.
They are the children from the embassies and
legations, of the money and social baronies, of the
high officialdom of government, and of congress. Not
all of them, for there are also to be seen children of
the plain people from the other side of the circle.
The thing that impfesseS the observer is the cath
olicity Of friendships among these children Of varying
ranks. They meet over the sandpiles at the circle.
1t is the starting point in the education of the many
children from foreign lands located temporarily in
Washington. Here they get acquainted with each
other and with the children who live in Washington.
TANNED AS MEMORIAL
When LEnfant set aside this piece Of ground in
his plans for the national capital it probably never
occurred to him that it would become a school of
diplomacy.
He intended it as a memorial to Admiral Dupont,
that famous old sea dog who trod the decks Of a war
ship during the days Of the revolution. Up until a
few years ago an iron statue of DUPONT occupied the
center Of the circle.
His descendants disliked it. They appealed to
congress for permission to remove it and put in it's
place a fountain. Permission was granted, and now
it is one Of the most beautiful little parks in the city.
The rim Of the circle is dotted with flower ven
doris. Two or three old men with clusters Of vari-
colored toy balloons move over the circle selling them
to the children.
1t is one of the most interesting and significant
spots in washington.

POWERS OF PRIVY
 COUNCIL IRKSOME
 TO IRISH LEADERS

DUBLIN, Oct. 14-There is one important political issue on which President Cosgrave of the Irish Free State and Eamonn de Valera are in complete accord. They agree that the last word in all legal deci- sions should rest with the Supreme Court of the saorstat.
 But, though the Constitution de- clares that the upreme Court de- cisions shall not be reviewed by any other authority, ther is a provision also in the Constitution, in accord ance with the treaty with England, that nothing shall impair the right of any person to petition the King or special leave to appeal to his Majesty in Council or the right of his Majesty to grant such leave.
 This means that the Free State Supreme Court does not really have the last word. And the Kings de- cision as to whether an appeal should be allowed is not guided by the advice of Irish ministers, but directly by the Privy Council.
 This is felt to be restriction on Irish freedom, and the Free State Government has countered it by refusing to take part in proceed

But four of the As reached first in that time, Foxx getting on first on pebble by Rajah Hornsby in the fifth and Cochrane drawing a pass in the seventh. Foxx was the only Mack man to see second until the ninth, Miller's single advancing him there after he had walked.

 The Cubs garnered three hits off Ehmke in the first frames but were in no position to score until the fourth. Mack's slow curve ball artist started that inning auspic- iously Hornsby grounded out, Be- ley to Foxx, and Wilson popped out back of the plate to Cochrane. Cuyler rapped out two-bagger to right field and Stephenson was passed. Grimm singled, scoring Kaki and sending Stephenson to third.

Records of No Account

Now a woman drives car for
80 hours without stopping for
sleep in order to establish an en-
durance record. for women. A boy
sets up a pole in his back yard and
remains perched on the top of it
for days, just to make record.
One woman even claims to have set
a record for continuous rocking in
a porch rocking chair.
This rage for doing useless
things longer than anybody ever
did them before is silly and ridicu-
lous-and often harmful. The one
purpose behind it all is, of course
to get publicity. Just why sane
person wants publicity is one OF
the little mysteries of human ma
ture. If those powers of the press
who confer this coveted prize on
misguided aspirants would use
more discretion it would help out
greatly They ought to know when
to ignore things. IL they would pay
no attention to the foolish fellow
who is trying to eat the largest
number of ears of corn at one sit
ting, or to the deluded wight seek
ing the endurance record for stand
ing on one foot, those seekers OF
publicity might begin to seek fol
some useful work to door dc
nothing in a less obtrusive way.

NEW MUSIC

We remember that years and
years ago when we were in the
first grade some of us hailed
Monday or Tuesday, or whatever
day it might be on which we had
music, with pleasure. Our lesson
then usually consisted of singing
several songs which we had learn
ed my heart and few do, re, sol,
dos. But now Emusic Day" should
be welcomed by the little tots at
the grade school with even more
joy, for Miss Brainard is insti-
tuting Rhythm Band in the pri-
mary grades. The instruments are
not those which we would find IN
an ordinary band but are more for
the slime" than the music, altho
the results of the ensemble will be
very musical. "A phonagraph record
is played and the children keep
time to music. Can't you imagine
the feeling of even beats pulsing
through the music, accented by the
bells, triangles, jingling sticks,
drums and tambourines Of the lit
tie folk?

Halloween is something like
Christmas only you play tricks OH

Anyway Halloween is something
like Christmas because it only
