Good Americans desire every opportunity given
children to receive the best possible education The less

Any idea or theory though that Washington railways

The public utilities laws of the District quite plain in
declaring that public utilities must be permitted
reasonable fair valuations of their properties
The courts are emphatic in holding that this imperative
There is vast difference between the views Of the pubic
and the of public utilities what constitutes fair
valuations but under court decisions that control these
cases. reproduction costs still high must prevail That spells
high valuations

'Sometimes-but not always.
There's always something to
take the JOY out of life. But of
course, that's just the breaks"
But is happiness "just the
breaks" or is it something that
most people can achieve and
maintain if they know how to
go about it? Prof. Pitkin says
it isn't and it is, in his new
book. THE Psychology of Hap
piness."
Joy doesn't Just happen-we
achieve it, says Prof. Pitkin, we
achieve it through knowledge
and control of ourselves and
environments. And, If we fail
to achieve it, that isn't sign
that Fate's an old meanie and
has it in for us. It's a sign
that we don't understand our
selves, or life and don't know
how to ride hard on either.
Man life is divided into four
great planes of Development
the savage, the barbarian, the
intellectual and the scientist.
And a mans chance of happi-
ness depends on the plane of
his development.
A savage'S chances are pretty
slim. Sometimes his lot is
cast in pleasant. peaceful
places, but generally he's beset
for and aft, by wild beasts and
enemies, pestilence and ele-
ments. And he is even more
beset by the darkness within
himself. He is so ignorant

These Modern Husbans
By Helen Rowland.

These Modern Husbans
All a woman asks, in the
spring, is something to drape
her sentiment and her illusions
on: but, alas, that is almost as
hard to find. these days, as a
man who looks romantic in a
bathing suit.
When a man refers to his
wife as THE MissuS," it is a
sign that he is either very fond
of her or a little afraid of her
usually, both.
After it's all over, it's a mys-
terry to a married pair, how the
little disagreement over a silly
card-trick ended in a life-battle
and a division of the commu-
nifty property.
A woman may be either shall
low or as deep as the sea; but
she MUST not be as transpar-
ent as the Marine Gardens.
It's the opaque type that keeps
a man wondering. guessing
and coming back to explore.
No use trying to punish a hus-
band. The man. who is "all
broken up" over a domestic split,
will always find some sweet ten
der-hearted little woman right

Witnesses before the Committee Foreign Rela-

lean naval officers hold with the General Board of the
Navy that the treaty is utterly unfair to the United
States
