Passion and hurt giving battle, he
stumbled from the room. And she
did not call him back. But she
buried her face in her pillow and
sobbed bitterly and brokenly. The
emotions Of the day had been too
much for her. 1T vas nearly dawn
when she fell asleep.
Vivian wrote her grandfather
every day, and received sweet, en-
dearing letters from him. She auto
graphed one Of the nice Christmas
pictures and sent it to him in a
large silver frame for his desk. In
all her confusion, he was the bright
spot in her life. If she could only
take her heartaches to him.
Kent was offered a job selling cars
with a rival concern, and he hadn't
been there a week when Vivian could
see that the humiliation and the
strain vas breaking his heart. After
the night that he had kissed her in
the darkness he had seemed differ
ent in his attitude toward her. They
had lost some Of the gay cam
araderie. There was a strain.
An idea hit her so suddenly one
day that she sat bolt upright in her
chair, where she was sewing cur
tains for the kitchen windows.
Why. she had half a million, dol
lars! She could set him up in bust
Mesa wonderful business. She
wondered If it could be done without
his knowing it. A minute later she
had grabbed her hat, and. forget
ting to powder her nose, was on her
way running to old Judge Potter's
office.
Half way there she remembered
that it might be helping him to

The idea was so thrilling to her
the knowledge that she could heir

Teachers Demand Their Right

"Just because women elect to teach is no reason
why they should be subjected to restrictions in their
personal lives not imposed upon women in other pro-
LESSONS" was a declaration of emancipation adopted
by unanimous vote before adjournment Of the annual
convention of the American Federation of Teachers.
This is a nationwide organization and has a large
membership.
In reaffirming its stand on academic freedom Of
teachers the federation resolved that teachers should
not be kept in fear Of losing their jobs because
bobbed hair, dancing, smoking, short skirts, card
playing, movies and matrimony are frowned upon by
many school boards. The only resolution turned
down was dealing with sex education. This resolution,
which expressed disapproval of the New York courts
for condemnation of a pamphlet advising birth con-
troll. was rejected because the association or fedora
ton was not familiar with the pamphlet"
Of course "the power trust" topic was a burning
issue. The federation went on record as being I'M
alterably opposed to the power trust Of American
seeking to use the public schools in order to spread
propaganda against public ownership Of public utili-
ties. and likewise declared its opposition "to all ef-
forts OF the power trust to propaganda in the pub
lie schools or to censor texts to its advantage"
All this reminds the American that the National
Education association code Of ethics contains this
bristling paragraph: 1.-THE school room is the proper
theater for religious, political or personal propaganda.
The teacher should not permit his education work to
be used for partisan politics, personal gain or selfish
propaganda of any kind"
Then why not enforce the code?

Washington Letter
By HERBERT C. PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, July 15.-The approach Of mid
summer finds the national capital more colorful than
any summer since the world war.
Credit must be divided between President Hoover
and congress. The former is sponsoring heartily the
"vacationless summer" Despite the devastating heat,
his cabinet has stood by Loyalty. And the diplomats
also have fingered late in town, keeping a wary eye
on the progress Of legislation in congress.
Sir Esme Howard, the British ambassador and
dean Of the diplomatic corps, set the example, and
now a good many of the foreign ENJOYS have estab-
lished summer embassies or legations within easy
motoring distance Of Washington.
The British ambassador and Lady Isabella Howard
are living at Langley Park, near Hyattsville, Md, only
a few miles from the city. Mrs. Frederick McCor-
mick-G oodhart, owner Of Langley Park, has loaned
them her house.
The Japanese ambassador and Nine. Debuchi are
at Buena Vista Springs, in the picturesque Blue
Ridge mountains, and the Belgian ambassador and
Princess de Ligne have taken a cottage at Gibson
Island. Md. for the summer months.
BROKEN DOSES
The Brazilian ambassador, Senior s. Gurgel do
Amaral, always makes Washington his headquarters
in summer, taking his vacation in broken doses by
way of motor trips and occasional visits to friends at
mountain or seashore resorts.
This year the minister Of Czecho-Slovakia and
Nine. Veverka have taken a cottage at Arundel Park,
a pleasant place in the Chesapeake bay region.
And the minister Of Austria and Nine. Prochnik,
who always stay in the capital, find the Annapolis
Roads beach and tennis club a place to spend their
week-ends.
The italian ambassador made a trip to italy early
IN the summer, accompanying Nine. de MARITIME, who
remained abroad. But he came back several weeks
ago and is again "in residence" at the italian embassy.
SOME LEAVE
But there are those in both the foreign colony and
official family who refused to stick by for the summer
The minister Of Hungary and Countess S~zecf1enyi
have gone to Newport summer playground Of Count
ess Szechenyis kinsfolk. the vanderbilts and Whit
neys.
The minister Of Greece and Nine. Simopoulos also
left Washington earlier in the summer for Newport.
The ambassador Of France. M. Paul Claudel, was
to have sailed for his native land June 20, accom-
panied by his daughter, Mile. RENE Claude1. Urgent
business at the French embassy came up, however,
and he now finds himself unable to leave this country.
Member Of both the senate and house were quick
to leave Washington when congress recessed. A few,
however, are still here. working hard. Among them
them are Senators Edge of New Jersey, Moses Of
New Hampshire, Bingham Of Connecticut, Walcott Of
Massachusetts, and Reed Of Pennsylvania. This quin-
tet has rented a house In the city for the summer,
turning 1t into a bachelor apartment.
