tices may be for preliminary study.
Business Of the court would long be de-
layed were this not done.
Actually justices of the Supreme
Court are among the hardest working
men in the Capital. When the court
is in session 12-hour day, six days in
the week, is the regular order.
1t isn't unusual for them to take court
business to their homes for study at
night. When the court Is sitting to hear
arguments. as it does for four weeks at
time with intervals Of three weeks
each to catch up. the justices. from
Chief Justice Hughes down the line, get
only 80 minutes for lunch. And this
luncheon period Is spent in the confer
ence room.
Their messengers bring trays from
their homes or from the Senate restau-
rant. Everything is in readiness by the
time the judges leave the bench.
A sort of kitchenette has been set up,
with a stove, ice box, dishes and the
like that the necessary table service
may be had.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERT PLUAIMER.

Taft these half-hour luncheon PERIODS
have lost much Of their glamour. He
regarded them as among the most I'M
portant parts Of his day.
Doctors had restricted his morning
and evening meals to almost nothing.
They consisted mostly Of a piece Of spe-
cial bread toasted to hardness.
It was a familiar sight when he
mounted the bench at noon for him to
almost Immediately look at the menu
card sent up by the Senate restaurant.
He would pencil those dishes that struck
his fancy, and his messenger would use
the card as a guide in preparing the
hurried meal at o'clock
Even so he could do little more than
merely taste his food.

Ways Of Older Egypt.
Sports and Games.

w We have already spoken Of
~ Egyptian hunters, and how
wv much they enjoyed their
Y Y sport. Fishing was also
efavorite pastime, and many
o rich man went out IN boat to
spear fish Poor men caught fish, too,
but their fishing was work rather than
play. Pike, eels and perch were
among the nsh caught for market, and
these were taken chiefly with nets.
Bull-fighting was fairly popular, at
least during one period. The bulls were
taught to rush against one another. II
they did not Tight hard enough they
were poked with sticks.
That many wrestling matches took
place we may Judge by the number Of
pictures Of contests which have been
saved. The wrestler wore no clothing
except . girdle and seems, to have run
at his rival for catch-as-catch-can.
After the two fell to the ground or
floor, they kept up the struggle until
one or the other was down" On one

scenes in a wrestling match. One of
the wrestlers Is colored black, the other

There were few, II any, boxing
matches in Egypt, but there were con-
tests between men with sticks. The
sticks were thin-they might sting.
but they were not likely to do great
damage. To protect himself, each man
had q woolen guard bound to his left

Home Life.

The home life Of the present-day
child in large towns and cities Is rather
restricted. Home has become the place
whore we gather to eat and sleep. Most
of the activity that made it vital busi-
ness has Jared forth into shop and fac
tory, school and society. Home Is q
very restricted place.
In this restricted place we ask chill
dren to thrive as cheerfully and as
happily as once they throve in the
busting. lively home of activity. In
portant share of the life. They did
work that counted. They were counted
in as important members Of the family
group. II they carried their share Of
the jobs well. the family life was that
much the better for them. If they did
less than their share they soon heard
them to effort. Now there Is nothing
for them to do in the home save to be
quiet. That isn't conducive to q love
of home.
Children are Of necessity active, alive
and intelligent. They must have their
fingers in every pie. They must have a
creditable share in what goes on about
them. If they do not find this at home
they 60 out In search Of it. They must,
because they we're made that way. The
school Is the logical place for them to
60. but we have been slow to equip the
schools for their tasks. Even when
the school has been equipped for active
children. many parents have clung to
the belief that home Is the only place
for the child and struggled to hold him
there.
Home was the place. is the place,
provided II Is more than the shell Of
q home. How many homes can offer
their children real activity, real par
ticipatinn In. their interests? We no
longer have such homes Our society
does not permit it. We have to face
the new day in q new way and pro-
vide for the welfare and safety Of the
children apart from home.

But the parrots feather, that bloomed

something SO unusual that years ago I
heard about it before ever came to

That first day was a Sunday, blis-

bored as q fly lost In an oven 4 an
