Visitors to Washington by no means
should miss taking turn through
Georgetown.
Although an integral part of the Ma
tional Capital, Georgetown was founded
scores Of years before the city of Wash
ington, and today still possesses an
atmosphere all its own.
Those here from smaller cities and
towns will especially like the place,
because its atmosphere will be so fanil-
lar to them, and, after all. every one
likes what he is familiar with, does he
not?
Wisconsin avenue will remind such
visitors of Main street, unless M street
on the other side of the bridge seems
more like home to them.
Washington's old headquarters on M
street has but recently received a fresh
coat Of bright yellow paint.
It Is a curious, squat little house, with
big flight of steps up to what Is really
the second floor
There is low-hanging roof, with two
dormer windows, and fine chimney on
the east.

In his book, Walks About Washing
ton," the late Francis e. Leupp says OF
Georgetown:
"On the Maryland side Of the Poto-
mac, the suburb most convenient of
access is Georgetown. In fact, it long
ago ceased to be strictly a suburb, by
incorporation with the City of Wash
ington, from which it was separated
only by Rock Greek, narrow tributary
of the Potomac.
"Oficially, it Is now West Washing
ton. and its streets have been renamed
and remembered SO as to conform as
nearly as practicable to the system in
use in the Capital. All the same,
Georgetown has never lost its identity.
1t had a life of its own before Wash
ington was thought Of: and within my
recollection the old society Of George
town used to look askance at the new
people with whom Washington was
filling up.
TT Is still sprinkled with hoary
houses set In quaint ancestral gardens,
though modernism has touched the
place at so many points that we can
get a glimpse Of these survivals some
times only through deep vistas lined
with the red brick sidewalks of urban
blocks.

Tudor house, built by DR.. William
Thornton about 1910. It is a good
specimen from the Georgian epoch in
architecture, standing fifty In the midst

Mr.. Leupp's account of the writing
of THE Star Spangled Banner" is in
teresting. Key lived in house on M
street, not far from where the fine
bridge named after him now stands.
"As the story goes, part of the British
forces which marched upon Washing
ton in the Summer of 1914 passed
through Upper Marlboro, Md. on a day

physician. was entertaining several
friends at dinner, AS the gentlemen

Broun and the Preachers

Haywood Broun undertakes to prove that news
paper men are more intelligent lot and more effec-

pleasant reading for newspaper men, even though thew
discount the opinion of Broun as a newspaper man
himself Pleasant reading it is but not so convinc-
ing
He says neither the League the World court. nor
the Kellogg pact has been much aided by the church
As matter of fact all thee of those movements have
been consistently and within the limitations of their
possibilities effectively supported by the churches.
Ask any politician.
Only handful of ministers stood out against the
war says Broun, but can he handful of editors
who printed only the truth during the war?
Compared to the standpat atmosphere of the
churches the conservatism of the press is red radical
ism, Broun would have you believe Maybe so, but we
can recall many fight for civic causes or in behalf OF
oppressed labor made by preachers while the press re-
manned silent and inactive.
Speaking for the press as whole we'd like to de-
serve Brouns kind words But it just happens that he

TINE new year in New York has
\ begun auspiciously enough for
everybody but the actors and the
managers. Gloom lies thick around
the theater. 1t is, they say. the
worst of all possible bad seasons,
and perhaps the beginning of the
end.
The spectators have been blamed
and the talking pictures, while the
fact that there are too many thea
tiers has not wholly been neglected.
My own theory concerns still an
other factor. I think the drama in
America is dying because of the
blighting touch of intellectually
Managers have been fooled into
needing the cries Of those who say
that they want to be able to think

evidence to the contrary.
have no objection whatsoever to
thinking. But why should anybody
choose a playhouse as the place to
do it? Within the last few years the
man who went out for an evenings
entertainment was as like as rot to
run into three acts of morbid pSy-
chology, a discussion of the atomic
theory or some little thing concern

Fixing the Blame

In British History in the Nineteenth Century.
G. NJ. Trevalyan. starting out with hasty review
Of the eighteenth century personalities and events,
comments on reactions in England to the French
revolution.
Trevalyan says, The French revolution
caused among the well-to-do over here a horrible
recon from a considerable freedom Of thought in
religion and politics, to hard and narrow tmidisy
of class alarmed for its privileges and possessions
There was a concurrent change in manners FROM
license or gaiety to hypocrisy or to virtue
Family prayers spread from the middle to the
upper class. Tt was wonder to the lower orders.
wrote the Annual Register for 1898, Throughout all
parts Of England to the to the churches
filled with carriages This novel appearance prompted
the simple country people to inquire what was the
matter?'"
You will note that there were two sorts of reaction
the economic and the religious.
The first brought about suppression of personal
liberties expressed in speeches. meetings. writings
The second-of course an anti-Jacobin movement
paved tire way for the evangelical surge of the
times respectable and influential people like William
Wilbeorce getting religion" and becoming dissenters
and pietists.
Finally it this movement, coupled with the
active support of the Quakers that put the anti
slavery campaign slave trading at that time being
the chief factor in England's contact with Africa.
incidentally, Trevalyan points out what pro-
foundry important event it that, on the eve of
the industrial era the slave trade should have been
done away with. He suggests an appalling picture
Of what the situation might have been had British
labor, in the days of the machine age been forced
TO compete with a free African slave market.
1t has, of course, not been unthought of that the
otherwise unaccountable present indifference in this
country to civil liberties repercusson of the Rus
sian revolution The burning anti-labor crowd
has advertised adequately that idea by the language
used publicly in referring labor agtators and other
economic reformers.
1t might likewise be worth while to consider
whether the Ku-Klux Khan and other manifestations
Of religious intolerance are similarly reaction to the
Russian debacle.
II there is anything in this notion we have come
out at the little end of the horn The French reyo-
luton in England, produced an evangelical move
ment which in turn forced an anti-sayerv bill
through the house of commons. That perhaps made
is possible for England to survive the new century
Of industrial development.
But, If the Russian revolution had ANYTHING IN
DO with American religious phenomena then we must
blame 1t for the eighteenth amendment the Volstesd
act and the synthetic substitutes for good ouors that
now flood the country.

Search for Truth

TT anything, the greatest danger
i of science, especially from the
standpoint of public respect, lies in
the fact that too many of its dis
ciples think Of themselves as re-
vivalists. They are infatuated with
the idea of converting some one be-
fore they have completed their ex-
periments.
They desire not only to play the
part of prophets, but to surround
themselves with crowd Of hypno-
tized followers, with nothing better
to go on than tincture of dreams.
In order to get the followers, they
revert to the jungle practice OF rob-
bing the other fellows hen roost.
Instead of searching for the truth,
as their profession demands, and OF
letting results speak for them
selves, they cast envious eyes at
those leaders who have formed
cults and creeds by preaching
Theirs is the right under the con-
stitution and laws of this country,
as well as the prevailing social or
der, but they cease to be scientists
when they exercise it.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

anti-neuritic yitamin, G the anti
scurvy vitamin; the most impor-
tant, vitamin D, is necessary in
the diet in order to prevent the de-
velopment of ricketts,.
Many students of the subject have
insisted that the latter names would
be preferable, because they are
more expressive than those of al
phabetic character.
DR.. H. G. Sherman, one of the
leading authorities in the field, de-
tends, the alphabetic terms. He
holds they represent better the fact
that we do not begin to know all
that the vitanins accomplish, and
that the more descriptive designa-
ton may refer to only single
activity of any of these essential
substances.
Vitamin A is concerned with
many more things than merely
prevention of the diseases of the
eyes called 'xerophthalmia" A
lack of vitamin A results in a
widespread weakening of the It's
sues of the body and in the lower
ing of its ability to resist infections.

Vitan1in A Has Important Functions

Vitamin A seems to be essential
to growth in the young and to nor
NAL nutrition and health at all
ages. If vitamin A is absent from
the diet, the skin, ears and sinuses
seem to become more easily in
fected.
The presence or absence of this
vitamin seems to. have something
to do with the development of kid
ney stones and of stones elsewhere
in the body.
Our growing knowledge of this
vitamin thus indicates it's tremen-
dous significance in the body and
also the fact that the other vita
minis as well may be concerned with
many more factors than the main
disturbance of the body which de-
velops when they are absent from
the diet.
Vitamin A is called the fat solu-
BILE vitamin. It is present in vary
ing amounts in cod liver oil, in egg
yolk, in many leafy plants, in good
butter and in many other common
constituents of the human diet.
