, you'll cry-"'I didn't know that
anyone else felt like that! I
didn't know that anyone else
felt-all the time-this secret
wonder and loneliness. I
thought it was my secret. I
thought I was the only one who
was always a. little unsatisfied
and restless, even when I
seemed most contented outside
who was always looking for
an answer and thinking I'd
found it in love"
Reading the love letters of
Benjamin and Bio you'll say
that with amazement and relief.
You will not have found the an
Swer to the riddle but relief will
come. just the same. For you
will have found something al
most as good as an answer
YOU WILL HAVE FOUND
THAT LOVE MAKES US ALL
OF A PIECE.
We may be very far apart in
every other way. Some of us
may be rich, some poor
some Of us may well be wise and
famous and powerful, some
foolish and weak and obscure
but in each of us the same
hunger gnaws, the same ques-
tion cries out for an answer.
who am II" we all cry.
"Why am here? What is this
difficult thing called life? And
who can help me bear its myS-
terry and loneliness?"
Never Lonely Again
That is what we all c-y and,
sooner or later, we think we
have found our answer in some
Other Ones eyes. You will dis
cover that when you read those
love letters. And you will never
again feel quite so lonely, after
you have discovered this :.
nor will other people seem so
common and dull.
And as for love, you will
realize its beauty more than
ever before. For though love
cannot solve the riddle of life,
it is the only thing that can
help us bear it. It is the one
great comfort which we all may
share the one miracle that
has the power to make any life
lovely.

Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson.

For ~ years Benjamin De
Casseres has loved that dark,
beautiful woman called Bio.
For 16 Of those years, she was
the wife Of a man now dead,
and she and De CaSSeres were
separated by 5000 miles and
a marriage VOW. Yet, during
those years, their spirits found
each others through letters
more intimate than the touch
Of flesh.
Their story it told in the
April issue Of the Cosmopolitan
Magazine. Reading, you will
find a moving, lovely romance.
But you will also find some
thing which will surprise and
excite you more than the love
story of Benjamin and Bio
=. in their hunger and search
you will find, revealed, the pic
ture of that hunger and search
which you had thought were
the secret of your own heart.
Those two did not just want
each other. They wanted un.
derstanding understanding
of themselves, of each other,
of life. They did not merely
bare their love to each other.
Barred Their Soul
They barred their loneliness
and doubt and bewilderment,
their need of some answer to
the riddle of life. Listen
"What is that central portion
Of us that never finds utter
ance; which steals into the
eyes Of lovers as endless yearn-
ing; which is mirrored in the
eyes Of the child as endless
wonder; that darts from the
eye Of the dying man in a
pathetic appeal to the one who
holds his hands?. I feel this
mystery Of the Unuttered Word
in starshine, moongleam, SUM-
mist, babies faces, in trains,
cafes, in lonely woodS-and in
your letters"
A Good Old Cry
So this man wrote to the
woman he loved. And you'll
cry, amazed-"But I didn't
know anyone else felt like
that?"
No matter who you are, no
matter what your race or creed
or color or lot in life may be,
The Washington times., 1931-05-01

States is still the laughing
stock of that experiment.
Now I ask, with all this ex-
perience, do you believe we
ought try it again-Surely not,
for Sandino in first place is no
rebel or bandit, and in second
place he would be a little too
fast for our whole Army in
Guiding our heralded General
Butler, whom Mr.. Fish wants
to send.
I am Of Latin blood and I
have never met a Latin yet
who isn't thoroughly in dis
favor with the policy of this
country. We look upon Gen
eral Sandino as a savior Of his
humble country, just like
George washington was Of this
country when the Britis h
thought that Americans were
rebels, etc.
I feel sorry for the hundreds
Of Marines who have lost their
lives in Nicaragua, but never
thelesS experience aches
though it will take some "a
naticS longer to learn.

I am directed to write thank

ONCE-OVERS

Pay Now!
"If the salaries men Of this
country whose salaries have not
been reduced and those who
have money would pay their
bills, financial conditions Of
the country would be greatly
relieved"
Thus speaks a business man
who carries large accounts for
customers.
You may belong to one Of
these two classes to which he
refers.
There is no reason why you.
a wage-ea?ner, enjoying the
same income as ever, should
be slow in paying your debts.
If you have amassed suffi-
cient to carry you through life,
you certainly should not delay
payment in these hard times.
Just because there is a gen.
eral Tightening up on the part
of those who must do so, it
does not follow that, with an
income which has not been de-
creased, you should follow the
course Of necessary Stringency.
Indebtedness is something
created by yourself.
In goods or service you have
received value for your money.
And your money should be
paid promptly in exchange.
In paying your debts you can
assist in bringing about a more
free circulation of money and
the money isn't yours after
you have received the equivA-
lant anyway. SO PAX NOW

A Boost for the
Park Flowers
Editor. Times.


There seems to be so much
admiration shown over the
cherry blossoms along the Tidal
Basin and Potomac Park every
one naturally has q great desire
to see them. / will admit they
are beautiful, but, why not let
the Washington residents and
the visitors know about the
beautiful pansy beds in front
Of the new administration build
ing Of the Department Of Agri-
culture?
The gardeners, whoever they
may be, have wonderful results
for their hard work.
Why not give their pansy
beds a little publicity so the
other folks will walk down this
way, or drive by?
While riding with some out
of-town friends the other day
I heard so many remarks about
the beautiful panSies around
the Agricultural grounds. One
visitor asked the sight seeing
bus driver to please stop and
let her get a close view Of the
panSieS. Several other visitors
also made pleasant remarks
about the variety of Colors.
Why not give the pansy beds
q little "write-up" in your ever
popular newspaper?
