THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.


The old doorman leaned down in
the majesty of his glittering uniform.
II always shake hands with the
Littls Princess" he said, solemnly, his
huge white mustache twitching.
The Little Princess smiled her moth
er's smile. Her hair was f1axen, as a
Princess hair ought to be. Her eyes
were pale gray, tinged with blue
What gave them utter distinction
were the, thick and long black eye
The upward, sideways glance from
those glorious eyes was enough to bring
any man, doorman or otherwise, to her
feet.
Straightway. those eyes looked at
you always, but it was when they looked
with an upward tilt, from the side. that
they achieved a result which ordinary
eyes might fail of in a lifetime of
cleaning.
The Little Princess tripped down the
steps in her light blue dress.
Her darker blue beret set OF shining
eyes and glistening hair.
Her tanned skin contrasted with both
dress. eyes, hair beret.
Her solemnity, at being downtown was
impressive. One might not have
thought that only so little ago as an
in the back yard
At that time an elevated tilt had
displayed to the world that her back
was quite as tanned as her arms, and
that she was dressed appropriately for
hot weather.
Now she was all seriousness, walking
down the steps to the Coffee Shoppe.

"He gave me these pictures" she
said. displaying in her small hand a
couple of post cards bearing the photo
graph, in many colors, of the hotel
over which the regal man presided.
And what will you have, Princess,
for your lunch?"
The Princess, in the sheer luxury of
being able to read, glanced languidly
over the program-er, bill of fare.
Let me see." she said.
There WERE in fact, two bills. and
she held one in either hand. There
was so much on either one that 1t
was enough to nonplus person many
times years of age.
Seven is a magic age, is it not?
The little lambs play, they know
ran the old poem.
At one can read fuently-at least
one can nowadays-one can turn hand
springs in the grass, one can skate like
a flash, swim. dive, eat lollypops and
ice cream cones, smile and be loved by
every one.
Who would want to be anything but
Z years old, in view of all that?
The Princess decided in favor of a
chicken sandwich, but, hearing others
order cinnamon toast, thought she
might like bit OF that, too.
A glass of milk she frowned upon.
Milk is a commodity held in esteem by
educators, therefore disliked by chill
dren.
1t is really too bad. but such is life.
The Princess thought that glass Of
lemon ice, at the conclusion of the
meal. might not be q bad way of end
ing up.
A glass Of iced water would do. Iced
tea was on the forbidden list, and, be-
sides, she didn't care for it much.
The tastes of Princesses are not to be
disputed, argued about, queried into.

IL over to his wife, who banked 10 IN
| two different accounts, and some time
! later these funds were used in the buy
ing of the desired suburban home.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Ewald got his judge
| ship.
District Attorney Grain has been
conducting an inquiry into this obvious
| " innocent transaction to satisfy that
| curiosity that is sometimes observed in
prosecuting officials. The other day he
had Mr.. Healy before him and he
learned that Mr.. Ewald was only a
casual acquaintance, though a member
of the same political club. Mr. Healy's
memory was at first bit vague about
how Mr.. Ewald's desire to be a judge
came to his attention. Finally, the best
he could do was as follows:
If 1 remember rightly, he came to the
club one night and said that the
Steuben Society was sponsoring him
for a vacancy which was coming to
their society because of its German
American Affiliations, and he asked
could l be of any seryice-the exact
words 1 can't recall--would I assist
MIN. lHtIlh, IL L EeIlSIllD6T IISut, L
said, IF 1 can be Of any service to
YOU it would be pleasure to help you"
Something like that: IF can be OF
any service to you would like to help
you. 1 would like to help you" or call
on me again" He never called again.
Asked where it was in the club house
that this conversation took place, Mr..
Healy said that it was in the regular
Office which is open. You were
at a desk?" asked the district attorney.
Mr.. Healy replied:
A regular desk. with secretary next
to me, and I think my stenographer
was there, if I remember, and the peo-
pie waiting on seats to see me.
He sat down alongside of you? asked
the district attorney. Mr.. Healy re-
Piled
this gentleman (pointing to the ste
nographer) is to you.
There is the picture-Mr. Healy sit
ting at his place of business at q
desk with secretary and stenographer
and petitioners for his assistance form
ing in line and presenting their pleas
in turn. Mr.. Ewald was one of these
and he went and took his place in
line and in his turn was received, and
he stated his desire, and che never
called again" But he got the job,
though meanwhile it was necessary for
Mr.. Tommaney to float loan from
Mrs Ewald, whom Mr.. Healy did not
know, and who paid half of the money
by a check signed with her maiden
name. Mr.. Healy made no request for
Mr.. Evald's appointment, he says; men
toned the matter to nobody in au-
thority. Yet. so striking are coinci-
dences at times, the aspirant whose
wife made the loan to help Mr.. Healy
buy his house was the one who got
the judgeship about a fortnight later.
Is it not refreshing in these days Of
wickedness to see such trustfulness and
such happy coincidence of wish and
achievement?

Selection by President Hoover Of a
commission made up of the heads OF
| 10 national business, professional, trade
and civic bodies to promote home own
ership Is viewed sympathetically by the
country. There is much interest as to
the method by which the financing OF
such operations may be facilitated. It
is also believed that such results as may
be obtained would relieve idleneSs in the
building trades.
Taking a hint, apparently, from re-
cent demonstrations of congressional
GOODNESS toward appropriations for his
commissions" says the Manchester
Union, "the President makes it known
that in this case provision has already
been made to meet the expenses of the
inquiry. A great deal is heard of the
idea that the American home is doomed.
One does not need to share the views
of the pesSimistS to realize that it is
undergoing changes and that there Is
abundant reason for such a compre-
hensive study as Mr.. Hoover desires to
have made. Especially in some OF the
big cities home ownership has dwin-
died. While title to the property Is by
no means an absolute essential to the
that ownership Is likely TO promote that
result There is, too, the important
consideration of the advancement OF
thrift through such investment Alto
gether there is in this matter a genu-
Inc opportunity for investigation that
will be amply worth while from the
point of view of the community as well
as the individual"
The soundness of such investments is
pointed out by the Pittsburgh Post-Ga-
zette, with the conclusion that "pros-
Ia, -, ral he Or
money that has been going into unwise
speculation could be diverted to build
ing" and that paper remarks as to the
nature of the national effort, Every
city has its organizations devoted to the
object of better housing but there Is
something new and vitality important In
the move to coordinate these activities
in q countrywide program to encourage
individual building and home owning"
4 + 4
1.-THE proposed conference" in the
opinion of the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal, naturally will become the agency
of publicity for needed reforms in the
business of building and owning homes.
When second mortgage interest runs as
high as 20 or 25 per cent and when
money is hard to obtain for first mort
cages or rates are high remedies are
demanded. The conference likely will
discuss the problems of labor, the con-
tracing trades financing companies
and all agencies affected. This may
lead to joint action and reform.
Overbuilding of a certain type of home
during the war had much to do with
the present stagnation, but other and
perhaps more important reasons for the
falling off in home buying are likely TO
be brought out and some of the OBJ
stacles attacked as a result of the Presi-
dents action"
Less favorable is the attitude of the
Newark Evening News which holds that
when all Is said and done, no Govern
ment aid will be SO effective as the
ability of the citizens to deal with their
own problems If we have lost the old
American knack for individual resource
and voluntary cooperation" continues

AS a study In naivete the records Of
the inquiry now being conducted In
New York into the Ewald judgeship
case are fascinating. 1t will be recalled
that Mr.. Ewald wanted to be a judge
and Mr.. Healy. district leader, wanted
to buy a suburban home, and Mrs.
Ewald loaned Mr.. Healy, through Mr..
Tommaney, a subordinate Official and
close friend Of Mr.. Healy, $4,000
which she had accumulated for the
purpose OF buying a home of her own
before her husbands aspirations came
to practical focus. Mr.. Tommaney
gave Mrs. Ewald a note for $4,000,
payable in three years, without interest,

Object to Married
Women Teaching School.
Evening Post, Wellington.-"The time
has arrived when women teachers who
marry should automatically cease to be
employed as teachers" is the opinion
of the Auckland School Association. A
committee expresses its opinion in the
following words:
Where married women are employed
by private individuals or are working
Tor themselves, there is no necessity to
restrict their work, but when they are
employed by the state it is reasonable
and right to consider their employment
from different standpoint. No one
Will dispute the right of farmers wife
to assist her husband in their joint
undertaking, and it Is perfectly right
that wife should assist her husband
IN the management of his business. In
these cases the individual infringeS no
rights, but when the state employs mar
ried women the situation is quite diff
ferent.
mo one would deny to q married
woman teacher who through unfortu-
nate circumstances is forced to be the
bread-winner the full right of employ
ment in state schools, but every one
must deprecate the employment of the
married woman who has no necessity to
teach. The time has undoubtedly ar
rived when women teachers marrying
should be deprived of their positions.
This would entail no hardships, it being
reasonable to suppose that women teach
ers who are contemplating matrimony
would consider well whether the step
Is in their own interest.
There is no doubt that women teach
ers generally are strongly against the
employment of married women whose
husbands can provide for them. and it
Is difficult to understand why the Sys-
tenn has been allowed to become so
general"

Public Demonstration
In Physical Education.

Japanese Advertiser, Fredericksburg
exercises were given a public presenta-
ton recently in the physical education
courses of the Toxic Y M. c. A. under
the direction of Tohru Yanagita, who
recently returned from a trip through
Europe and the United States, during
which he studied all the different sys-
TENS OF caIisthenics, and particularly
the Danish forms of physical culture,
which have been popular OF late. not
only in Denmark, but also throughout
Europe and America. Mr.. Yanagita re-
ported that the Japanese system OF
self defense, jiujitsu, is conversely
much studied abroad. and that two
teams OF six men each are shortly to
give an exhibition of this form of phys
ical training in London. The teams
represent the Universities of oxford and
Cambridge.

IL wound. We love the city, and
find it beautiful, charming and
varied in life and interest because
it is ours. But the stranger is a man

kodak, sketchbook, and diary, and pro-
ceeds to take pictures and notes Of
everything we consider romantic, pleas
ant and picturesque-except that he
considers these same things proof OF our
backwardneSs and general lack OF civill-
zation. He Is alert to all the inconven-
fences and deficiencies of our life, and
iots down memoranda OF all these de-
tails in his little book.
If such q one does happen to appreci-
ate the natural beautitS Of our country.
this Is the only feature that he does
have enthusiasm for. In all other sur
roundinss he finds us lamentably lack
ing! No later than yesterday we re-
marked in these same columns the I'M
mense transformation that has taken
place in our mode of life in the last
half-century. But this Is an advance
that is noticeable, apparently, only to
ourselves, for the tourist from America
or France still finds in us the ruSticlty
of eighteenth century Spain!
What a terrible dissillusion Tor q
proud Bogotan! We are still an un-
couth people, and neither our auto
motors, our tea houses, our radios, our
sports, nor any other of the modernitiess
we have acquired suffice to purge us OF
our Iberian traits and color. While our
beloved country has been exertlng every
effort TO become up-to-date, and wag-
ing q continuous war on everything
that is rude and primitive. uaveieIs

Well, we still retain two heritages
worth ali the false culture OF the rest
If the world-the beautiful eyes OF our
women and our affection for all that is
latin. With these priceless possessions
we can easily sweeten our lives.
