The CRY in the Street.

Tomorrow Is the final day OF the
washington Community Chest drive
The last word is used advisedly, for
the present campaign, like all its pred
eeessors. is an endeavor to drive poy-
erty and fear. suffering and death OUT
NJ the city. The campaign solicitors re-
mort generous gifts from all classes but
1he total is short of the desired goal
There must be many individuals within
t+A boundaries of the District OF Co
h,nbia who have not been personally
asked to give. To those neighbors and
friends the newspapers Of the city ap-
neal at this eleventh hour.
The total sum Of s2,41e,7s7 needed
for the new years work represents the
minimum required to sustain. the enorts
NJ the constituent agencies Of the
ches*. The same figure was set IN 1881,
and the purposeful economy OF the
trustees this season is manifested By
the fact that, although the plight Of
the poor Is undeniably more gr1evous
and acute now than it was then, they
have asked only the same amount.
The circumstance is another argument
why the current campaign should not
fail in any part. If those who have not
given would give today, the problem al
most surely would be solved. And 1t
would be a glorious thing If the total
appealed for should be exceeded. Wash
tngton could take pride in giving more
than is sought-but not more than
really could be used effectively-at a
time when every income is depleted.
It seems that the situation might be
dramatized in some such way as this:
Suppose that one were to hear chiIds
cry in the street at midnight. What
would natural instinct prompt the
hearer to do? Vision the picture: A
starving boy or girl, collapsing at the
door of any average home. The cry
rings through the quiet darkness OF the
deserted thoroughfare. Instantly half
q dozen doors are thrown open, and at
Least an equal number Of anxious faces
peer out into the gloom. How speedily
the fallen child is carried in to shelter,
warmth, food and gentle care! How
many the generous hands willing to
help In any way--in every way!
There would be no necessity for any
special appeal If the distress Of the poor
could be thus brought home to the peo-
pie of the city. The dificulty is that
poverty is a furtive, backward, shy phe-
nomenon. 1t does not exhibit itself.
Rather 1t hides. OF the thousands OF
families aided by the Community Chest
agencies, considerable number have
tried to conceal their condition. Only
by accident have they been discovered.
The delay often serves but to aggra-
vate their predicament. However. that
does not signify that their cases are
any the less worthy. On the contrary,
their appeal is all the more compelling
when 1t comes only after every con-
eeivable sacrifice has been made and
authentic suffering experienced. Such
people simply cannot be denied access
10 the heart of civilized community.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Each morrow is a strange event
AS it becomes today.
The promise that seems heaven sent
Will often go astray
We VOW in Incidence and pride
That life is all secure.
Then fondest hopes may be denied
And nothing seems quite sure.
And yet another dawn may bring
A time of true delight,
Forhidding shadows dark to cling
Meath skies serenely bright
And we perhaps were never meant
To see quite clear the way
Each morrow is strange event
AS 1t becomes today.

Mexican Expert Sees
Juvenile Problem.

El Universal, Mexico, D. PROF
Manuel Velazquez Andrade has writ
ten a mos interesting and timely
article for cur paper upon juvenile de-
linQuency, tiiat problem which, perhaps
more tina any other confronting pres
ent day society, is crying for salts

synopsis of his views in order that many

nant reflections upon this vital subject

rampant today and more than any
thing else encouraging law breaking.
each one knows well that because of
his youth his offense will be viewed
with leniency, purged of punishment
and in most instances anointed with a
species of character and magnanimity
Youth is the time of adventure. of ex-
citement, of finding out. Everything
is novel and alluring to the young,
and particularly those pleasures and
experiences which partake of the
bizarre and the clandeStine. Youth
does not care to pursue a Sedate and
normal path. Departures from the
routine and commonplace Of life offer
far more attraction.
In an age when even the parents
are won't to rebel against many of
the traditional restraints of law and
religion, it is logical that their in
fluence with their children should be
weakened. They themselves no longer
have any inclination to set the proper
example. or attempt control when they
are given over to equal licenses. Under
such conditions, how can the children
be better than their parents? The
home and society at large thus all
make their contributions to the de-
moralization which is eventually con-
doned by the law when the proclivities
of youth reach degree Of disfavor that
engages the formal attention OF the
courts.
It is futile to attempt a few feeble
and meager reclamations through the
operation of religious and educational
| institutions, while we flaunt on every

idleness and dubious pleasure. The

Health Program
Urged for Children.
The Cape Argus, Cape Town.-Of the
30 1000 school children attending primary
schools in Johannesburg 10 per cent are
INDECENT, declared the mayor of Jo-
hannesburg, D. F. Corlett, in opening
the TranSvaal Dental Society's fifth
annual congress in the Municipal
Buildings this morning.
The mayor said he had rather
doubted the figures at first. so alarming
did they appear. but he had since had
them confirmed. The definition OF
indigency given to him by DR.. Nathen
was that INDECENT conditions arose
when the parents Of child or children
were earning less than 15s per week
per child. These figures alone, he said
were enough to show the absolute
necessity for a scheme of systematic
control in the interests of the health
Of children.

countrymen" and Father of his Coun-
try. Both appellations are particular
ly fitted to him.
His patience and his unselfiShness
were of such magnitude that history has
produced few similar characters. In the
face of ignorance, treachery, poverty
and inexcusable stupidity. he never
quailed during the long years OF the
Revolution.
A wealthy man, he cast his lot with
the common people and led their cause
when he might have had high office from
the king whom he willingly renounced.
He could have been king, or at least die
tator, himself, when the cause OF llber-
ty had triumphed, but such thought
never for a moment was entertained by
him.
His entire life gave the world an eX-
ample of unselfiSh devotion to the cause
of liberty such as has never been
equaled There have been others
as sincere in their devotion to their
country, but many of them, when sue
cess came, allowed themselves to be
turned by it and used their power to
their own advantage.
Washington remained firm to his
principles and gave his countrymen the
full benefit of his exceptional genius.
The term is not far-fetched 1t was the
work of a genius to make an empire by
defeating an empire.
During this period dedicated to the
observance of his birth, every American
should read at least one Life OF Wash
ington", and more if he can possibly do
so. There is never any danger OF being
surfeited by reading too much Of him.

ton 200 years ago today, not to be re-

WASHINGTON

CTART1NG today and ending next Nov
y ember, the United States and all sec
tions of the world where its citizens live,
will honor the 200th anniversary of the
birth Of George Washington.
Why such a lengthy celebration? Some
may ask the question.
The answer is, that this nation could
honor George Washington every day in
the year as long as it shall last, and still
it would not be showing him any excess
homage
For that matter, Washington is honor
ed every day in the year. His name is
proudly worn by hundreds of cities and
towns throughout the nation, by a great
state and by the capital of the country.
His statues are countless. There is
hardly school in the country that does
not have a picture of Washington where
it can be seen by the pupils every day
in the year
Millions of his photographs on our
postage stamps, are bought and used
every day.
All of us know these things. but they
become so much a part Of our lives that
we forget them, and generally speak
ing, we leave our homage TO Washing
ton to be shown in a public manner on
his birthday.
Washington stands preeminently alone
among the great men whom this nation
has produced. Strictly speaking, it did
not produce him. but he did produce the
nation.
All of us are so familiar with his his
tory that comment on it seems superflu-
