Washington.

An idea may be both ancient and
honorable. That 1t is old in time does
not make it useless In service. The best
things in life are so old that their years
cannot be numbered, yet they bring the
same Joy to the hearts of men as al
ways, perhaps more. We enjoy more
when we know more and 1t would seem
that we ought to know more than men
ever knew before.
Washington is our oldest great man,
our first great leader, our first President,
which makes him bit old to our minds.
Lately there has been a hint of supe-
riority in the tone of some good people
when they spoke of the Father of His
Country, slight smile, a suggestion
that We ought to have grown past the
idea Of his greatness.
A man is his work. His body passes
away, but what he did never passes
away. The inmaterial qualities of the
great have no interest for us. We are
occupied with the heroic service rem
dered humanity. and on. that ground
Washington will stand as long as an
American Is left to cheer his name
The children have been brought up
on the story of the cherry tree. The
little Ratchet with the bunch of ripe
cherries fastened to the handle Is the
children's symbol Of Washington's
birthday. I say they are to have it.
That the story Is not true, that 1t did
not actually happen that Washington
chopped his fathers pet tree and owned
his fault, in the traditional terms of
the tale, does not matter in the least
The truth of the legend Is enough for
its synbolical purpose.

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JASTRoW.

plies that your business not only keeps
you busy but brings you an income.
The income the psychologist is con-
cerned with is the income in content.
in interest, in engaging your powers
and bringing satisfaction, and the oc-
cupation itself must be large part Of
the reward. For most persons. what
they do must dominate what they
would like to do-like. because they
would have interest and satisfaction in
the doing of it.
To most persons near the threshold
of their careers, the main business
Of life (the choice Of what they would
like to be busy att involves the prob

so decided or one-sided talent that
the choice comes early or Is AMIDST
made by natural endowment, as for
the artist or musician. Some will do
we'll to maintain a vocation, which is
their income earning business. and an
avocation, which is the busy-ness that
brings a deeper or another order of
satisfaction. It isn't an unfortunate
adjustment to do one thing because
you have the chance of earning a
living by it, and another because it
appeals to your interest, though 1t is
unfortunate If you find your business
pressing The problem of finding
yourself" Is more difficult in complex
individuals with variety of tastes and
talents and none quite marked enough
to play the leading role. Hence the
need of an adjustment bureau, which
is more than an employment bureau
Yet the fundamental conclusion re-
mains that earnest occupation in an
absorbing busy-ness is a steadying fac
tor of the highest value. You can find
1t at any age. at every age. without
it you dissipate or are lost or idle and
unhappy.
Those who find their busy-ness and
their business in the same occupation
are fortunate. The danger of being so
absorbed in business that you are too
busy to cultivate any other pursuits is
real and all too common. Leisure is
being busy at what gives you most sat-
isfaction.

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
Blowing a Man.

Yep, I did it, all right. and had the
time of my young life. blew man to
a feed, paid the dinner check, and tip
ped the waiter. Three men went crazy
my guest, the waiter and the cashier.
If I'd been a bobbed bandit and had
held up the joint those men could not
have had such shocks.
Now what is the world coming to II
a girl who makes her own living ana
rolls her pay into her sock can't invest
a little of 1t in masculine appetite? Or
where would the planet have rolled to
if we girls hadn't stepped up beside the
captains of industry and begun to do
our work in life?
Well. this man tried to duck the feed,
said his appetite wasn't good, wanted
to take me out to dinner and all that,
But insisted and when I said I'd cut
out the smacks If he didn't let me blow
him to table d'hote all the way from
soup bowls to finger bowls, he agreed.
And he had to 60 the distance from
olives to nuts. He was as red as a
lobster all the time. for he knew what
was coming at the end. 1t was like the
Last Judgment to him, for he is no cake
eater.
Now, you know. it wasn't merely that
had grub-staked him to dollar din
ner that got the gentleman's angora.
No. it was the fact that was on to his
little game, the spiel that men have
played ever since they began to teach
women to take their place in the bread
line. He was a man and he had
learned that women must be fed the
way canaries have to have bird seed and
cutie fish. For, in the past, every
chicken had to have its feed and the
chicken feed always came from the
hand of Mister Man. I Grabbed that
nice game or showed him how woman
can blow her own dinner horn.
Now. that's 1t. The lid is off and you
can't say that the way to a girls heart
Is through the dining room. Women are
self-supporting and II now they accept
| men it'll be because man approaches
as lover, not as mere bread winner.
1t will take the menfolks long time
to get adjusted to the new order of
things and they will have to learn that
they can't make a crush just by lobster
a Ia Newburgh or veal outlets Dreaded.
These old men-dogs must learn some
| new tricks. The female Tommy Tuck
| ers who used to sing and smack for
| their suppers are all out of date, for we
have with us the self-feeding woman
of the twentieth century.
We do want love, but a man can be-
| stow that sort Of thing without appeal
| ing to our appetites. We want men to
be men, not feedbags.

OUR CHILDREN By Angelo pa,ri

There is not the slightest doubt of
WaShington'S truthfulness, of his high
sense of honor. And there Is no doubt
about the need of presenting that phase
of greatness to our children. There Is
no better way of teaching this to chill
dren than in the symbolic language Of
the story and the little Ratchet.
This is clever age. Boys and girls
drive motors at go miles an hour-and
more. They drive airplanes across the
sky. All the magic Of speed and power
and space Is at their command. The
new age is full OF thrills and faith in
the good OF the older one is uncertain.
Better hold fast to some of 1t.
Honor and service are ageless. Though
to the spirit of youth life Is new, all
new, We Of the older generation know
that 1t holds the same promise, tina
same danger, the same stress and
strain, battle and victory as Of old.
Those who go forward to carry the bur-
den of the new day will need, most of
all. the ancient and long-proven quail
tiles Of manhood and womanhood. The
qualities for which Washington Is hon.
ored are still to be held high In the
esteem of mankind.
Youth needs the inspiration of the
spirit today as much as ever. The same
code that inspired the youthful cru
saders, that sustained the civilization
Of Greece and Rome. the same spirit
that has led men from the beginning of
time until now, still must live, still must
carry on.
The story of the cherry tree and the
Ratchet that goes with 1t are honored
and honorable symbols. Well hold to
them.
