Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

April 20, 1S61.-Slowly, as the in
tense excitement that has pervaded the
public mind during the last few days Is
subsiding, it is becoming apparent that
the Federal Government, for the pres
ent at least, has no other purpose in en-
ergetically collecting troops In and
around Washington than to employ
them to guarantee the Federal Capital
to the Government of the United States
by according 1t an pie protection against
the possibility of capture either by an
extemporized " OF unauthorized
parties or All assault under orders of
those persons who represent the gov
eminent of the South.
President Lincoln has frankly given
Mayor Brown Of Baltimore an explana-
ton of the movement of troops through
that city to Washington.
The protection of Washington, ex-
planned the President, is the sole OBJ
ject of concentrating troops here. The
President protested that none of the
troops brought through Maryland were
intended for any purpose hostile to that
State or aggressive action against the
Southern States. He made it clear that
since 1t Is impossible to jring troops to
Washington from the Northern States
with impunity by water-up Chesa-
peake Bay and the Potomac River
owing to Southern interference, the
Government must either bring them
through Maryland or abandon the
Capital.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE Do
BY MnHRAN K. THOMSON.

In the Spring Of the year, said, Lord
Tennyson. "a young mans fancy lightly
turns TO thoughts Of love-" We might
paraphrase that and say, in the Spring
Of the year every ones fancy lightly
turns to thoughts Of work. We call
1t Spring fever Z
Spring fsver Is common nalEdy
that grips us all during the first baltny
days after the long siege OF Winter.
1t is unusually strong in those who
live where the climate is more severe
and the Winters are trying.
The disease called Spring fever Is
not an unpleasant one. 1t is character
ICED by restleSsness and the general
letting down Of the whole mechanism.
This feeling Of lassitude is occasioned
by the fact that We are shifting gears
and are temporarily thrown into
neutrals You have an analogous stu
alton each morning when you wake and
have to shift from sleep and warm,
comfortable bed to cold plunge and
work.
Probably rhythm, the rhythm Of life
to which all of US are subject, accounts
for Spring fever. It is more noticeable
in the Spring because the shift is more
pronounced, from the singing, biting,
bitter snap of the wintry frost to the

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERR:CK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, April 23.-The
gold rush spirit which created Holly
wood has fallen upon Gelatinland again,
but with difference.
Before fabulous fortunes muShroomed
overnight in hands accustomed to count
out pennies gentlemen ran nickelodeons
and stood taking tickets at the door
until aching arches warned them 1t was
closing time.
A few months later those same gen.
ties had ideas of courtesy and efficiency
for the doormen they hired, and few
years after that a queue of secretaries
kept an army Of ambitious people from
getting into the sacred presence Of the
erstwhile ticket taker.
Those were the gold-rush days of the
village.
Fortunes are not moving quite so fast
these days. The actor and actress who
can talk successfully can amasS an in

or she is willing to work.
AS a consequence there is an army of

and psychology of two roles, snatching
sleep when and where they can, often
In their limousines as they hurry from
one set to another, or on the set be-
tween sequences.
It is a new rush for gold-not so
picturesque or so hearty as the first
raw days Of the towns making.
Lawrence Leslie arrives from New
York with a guild company booked at
o. Los Angeles theater. At the close of
the third act there is a studio car wait
ing to rush him from the theater to the
lot where he begins his first talkie en-
gagement. In this case the director
shoots at night, as that is his turn It

No lot has as many of these stages
as is wished. Shooting Is scheduled for

which bears him up.
Prankishness is a thing of the past
In the present gelatin routine. There is
little time for the sort of tricks for

LILY Neighbor Says:

To soften a paint brush on
which paint has been allowed to
dry, heat some vinegar to the
boiling-point and allow the brush
to simmer in it a few minutes.
Remove the brush and wash well
in strong soap Suds.
When preparing early rhubarb
for pies it is not necessary to peel
it. just cut it into very thin
slices about a quarter of an inch
thick.
In making cake, sour milk may
be used the same as sweet milk,
