Every high school teacher knows her.
She is the girl who is fairly bright and
very good looking, She is adolescent

her self-interest greater than that. She

deep longing to WELD 1t over boys and
men. Woe betide the man teacher or

be a center Of unrest the while she re-
mains there The boys will take keen
interest in her though they maintain
it at a distance. The girls will look at
her in outward disdain and with in
ward envy. Sally is so smart.
It is Sally who goes to school in such
a costume as to disturb the whole
school. The class can pay attention to
nothing and nobody but Sally, and in
sheer helplessness the teacher is obliged
to send her to the principal. The prin-
cipal can see no way out but to send
her home and ask to have her return

She claims her right as free, indie

Sometimes Sally is plain sulky. She

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

December 4, 1S64.-The work Of lay
ing the double railroad track between
Washington and Baltimore has been
completed. The last rail was put in
place this morning and now Washing
ton may rejoice in being doubly tied
to Baltimore.
The track in some places needs bal
lasting and the new rails will not be
used for passenger trains for day or
two. In the meantime the repair trains
are using the new track and will put it
in Stanch condition before it is turned
over for general use.
This work has been of greater mag
nitudc than the public might suppose
In many places the cuts through which
the old single track passed have had
to be widCned and in other places a
large amount of grading has been done.
TDle new track is being ballasted in the
most substantial Manner so that 1t
will last for years.
The double track will be of great
Importance to the travelling public.
With two lines. in case it becomes
necessary, trains may be kept running
constantly in both directions without
danger of collision.
Thus the Washington Branch Rail-
road has its double track completed
first and with this improvement the
running time between Washington and
Baltimore doubtless will be shortened
The other sections of the railroad north
of Baltimore will soon have their
double tracks completed and the trav-
cling public will then have all the
facility and accommodation that can
be wished for between the Federal
Metropolis and New York City.
James Speed, who has been APP
pointed by President Lincoln as Attor-
ney General Of the United States, is a
gentleman of high personal standing
and large legal experience. He was
formerly an old-line Wing of promi-
nence. He has been a firm and tried
friend of the administration and mas
been widely known for years as a
Stanch advocate of the emancipation
of the slaves in Kentucky.
A few years ago MIR. Speed served rs
mayor of the city of Louisville, Ky,
and for a number of years he was a
member of the State Legislature of
Kentucky. He will leave a large and
lucrative law practice to accept this i'm
portant post in President Lincolns
cabinet. His appointment is especially
pleasing to emancipationists in his own
State and throughout the country.

SUB ROSA
WHY We Love Love.
BIT MIMI.

Cupid is the Randy Kid. Venus is
the, leading lady. Love is the worlds
great Wow. Love used to be written
out in poems. Then it got into the
story books and just now it comes out
in magazine form.
But why are we so daffy on heart
throbs so that the love stories are al
ways the best sellers, and love affairs
the choicest gossip? It's an did wheeze
which dates back to Adam and Eve
ard has come down all the vay from
the Garden of Eden to every i. lie park
ing space in the world.
It isn't a craze like Ma Jong or a
fad like Ask Me Another. but settled
habit of the human race, chronic
complaint of the human heart. We
NAV be sophisticated in other matters
and know quite lot about science and
history, but we. are still pop-eyed to this
love business. IT,.
Nature seems interested in love since
she gives a girl beauty and man the
eyes to see II. She sets the love moon
in the sky and teaches the birds to
call out to each other in the twilight
She causes the orange blossoms to bud
even when a girls lover NAV be a
lemon. She announces a great hook
up OF all the love stations in the
world
Society follows suit when 1t presses
upon US the Importance of marriage
and keeps the love show on the screen
all the time "You can fool all the
people some of the time and some of
the people all Of the time, but you can't
fool all OF the people all of the time"
Maybe not in politics. but you can fool
all Of the people all of the time on
the subject of love. for they are all
always interested in the affairs of Romeo
and Juliet.
There are some wise guys who say
that a man does his loving between
the ages of 20 and 80, or that he
doesn't flash out after he has reached
one score and ten. If you don't get
him before that, you don't get him at
all.
But in lawn tennis. the score runs
up to forty love-" although after that
it may be deuce" And a man who
has closed up his heart still keeps his
eyes open. After the ripe old age of
81, he likes love stories, looks at love
pictures and goes to see love shows.
But why? Well, can ask that ques-
ton better than I can answer 1t, but
still can say that Cupid is our one
best bet and that Venus will never lose
her job no matter What bathing beauty
appears on the beach. We just love,
! that's all.
Ours is the age of substitutes and
synthetic products. We can get ma
chine to do what used to be done by
hand and we can manufacture what
used to grow up out of the earth. But
there is no substitute for love and no
way of making a synthetic heart.

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.

She has drawn the attention she
craved.
Sally is not to blame. We are. We
take for granted that all adolescent
boys and girls are alike. That their
sex instincts will be obliging enough
to follow the school schedule and the
school customs and permit work to 60
on as usual. They won't be. Sally will
make herself felt and heard II she has
to take the community into the courts
for hearing
We are to blame. Some boys should
be in classes by themselves. Some girls
should be in girls schools. Some chill
dren ought to be in mixed classes.
Some ought to be taught by men ex-
clusively, some by women. All Of them,
Smart Alec and Smart Sally, ought to
have fair deal.
How can we do it.? A little study, a
little common sense, a little tolerance
with growing, suffering childhood, A
little more money spent to pay school
administrators, TO build practical school
buildings that allow expert administra-
ton, will work wonders.

speeches he was direct incisive and
buSinesslike.
There was a vast difference in the
attitudes of the Senate and House when
the long special session Of Congress
finally was ended.
Representatives were in a rare mood.
A gay spirit prevailed during the last
few minutes of the session, which was
in marked contrast to the situation on
the other side.
Laughter and applause punctuated
the remarks of each man who rose to
speak
For more than three months they
had been idle while Senators wrestled
tariff bill had been disposed of in quick
fashion, thanks to the strict House
rules.
Earnest John Tilson, the ma jority
leader, rose to propose that they adj
journ sine die. Beaming on his COL
leagues, he said:
Mr.. Speaker, I wish to thank the
members on both sides of the aisle for
the spirit of cooperation shown by
them in transacting business during
the extra session of this Congress.
Republicans smiled, Democrats grim
ned broadly. Nice words, both prob

John Rankin of Mississippi arose and
said with much feeling:

Majority Leader Tilson beamed
again:

Thanksgiving turkey may be fine, that
you Will not partake of 1t too freely for
your own good, and that you will all
return the first Monday in December
IN good condition to tackle the ardu-
Gus work Of the regular session."
At the other end of the Capitol a
worried and harassed handful of men
sat listening to a dull debate on the
wool schedule Of the tariff bill Smoot,
Norris and Bingham were the princi-
pals. No one but the three seemed in
terested.

The hard-fought life he had led was
etched in the deep lines of his face. The
bowed legs were eloquent testimonials of
the frontier days he had gone through

whitened by the marching decades,
dated him back to the brave old days

He kept long hours at his Office, and at
night read legislative reports.

man would have broken under the
work that Senator Warren regarded as
a days quota.
AS chairman of the appropriations
committee his duties were strenuous.
1t can be understood what q vast
amount Of work he did the last eight
years when it is considered that every
year his committee appropriated an
average Of something like IS, 900, 900 600

is used for and every detail concern

Hands With Character.

Once I knew young girl who had
the most extravagantly admired hands.
In our special circle, where each girl
was fairly active and in which each Of
US did q lot of work, hands were
sometimes neglected, and Dorothy's
were like milk white lilies when we
compared them with ours. All the rest
of us took some share in the house,

school: one with a fair for clothes

using our hands as well as our heads
and enjoying our gradually won in
dependence. Dorothy remained the
quiet, decorative. leisurely member OF
our set-her hands always limp and
graceful, her fingers long, her nails
pink and exquisitely tended.
One day we stopped envying her.
When James old roadster broke down
Jane could get out and find and remedy
the trouble. while Dorothy looked use
lessly on. Most Of the rest Of us could
cook a meal or run a house, or make
our clothes, or clatter cheerfully at a

Just lovely mantelpiece ornaments"
Do you see my point? I do not mean
20 disparage hands that are beautiful
Of themselves, 1 merely mean that
hands with character are beautiful, too,
and far more interesting. A mill
worker with ugly hands gives an inn
preston Of beauty when she skillfully
handles her factory machines. Make
your hands useful and they will have
character
Keep them as nicely as you can with
all the aids to beauty that the shops
sell. And do what you can with far
ing cuffs and such to disguise bigness-
but be more glad Of character than
beauty in your hands.
