Speeding Around Africa.

TT may be Friday, the 18th, over
in our land, but in most of North
ern Africa, the people have no fear

chiefly by the Mohammedan calen-
dar, which Is very different from ours.
Ethiopia would be worth a longer
visit. but we must be on to Egypt.
We skim through the sky, and our
hearts beat fast as we realize that we
are coming near the Oldest nation of
the earth.
Egypt, brave and wonderful Egypt!
You gave the human race its first al
phabet. Your people were among the
pioneers in the use of metal for tools.
We may thank you for giving paper,
glass and sundials to the world.
Such thoughts go through our minds
as we cross the border of Egypt. Below
we see the waters of the Nile, and we
follow its valley northward
The Nile overf1ows its banks each
year, covering thousands of square miles
of land. When the waters flow back
into the river bed, they leave behind
mud and silt which they have brought
from the mountains of Central Africa.
Thus the soil alongside is given new
richness each new season.
The people of ancient Egypt made
good use of the overf1owing Nile. They
saved much of the overflow in reSer-
voirs, and used the water for their crops.

the figure the slender graceful contours
that every one wants to achieve.
The very best thing about this dress
is that it provides such a bright idea
for the young woman who wants to re-
vamp last seasons dress. If the old
dress is of white silk crepe or satin use
sheer black lace. If it is yellow or
cream color use brown lace. On pas

use lace of slightly deeper shade of
the same color.
Doubtless the length of the last sea-
sons evening dress will be satisfactory
because skirt lengths have remained
about the same for over II months, but
there will probably be need for con-
siderable adjustment about the hips
and waist. This adjustment may be
made at the side seams and may also
be made by means of a number of small
darts at the waist, covered by the lace
and the sash arrangement over the lace

The District Budget
Savings Are Not Great

and groups
Probably the most severe criticism will be made oganiza

grounds to the low figure of approximately $15OOOOO
The budget transmitted this week cuts even that low fgure
by about $500000 The result will be that little school
building will be attempted in the coming fiscal year:
Savings this item cannot be regarded actual savings
The time will when the District will have to make up
for the ground which it losing in the fiscal 1888 and

No Reason to Fear
The Russian Experiment

The time has come for
America to assume a reallst S
attitude toward Russia. II
the Russians want Commu-
nism, that is their business
and not ours; if we prefer
democracy and our own gov
ernmental forms, that is our
business, not theirs. And the
recent election reduced to an
absurdity the wild fear that
our own people are commu-
nisticaIly inclined. Under
the existing economic condl-
tions, with millions jObless,
and millions hungry, the
Communist party in the re
cent election polled an alb
surdly small vote. We have
no reason to fear the Rus
sian experiment; not unless
our own system completely
collapses because of our fail
ure to institute necessary re
forms. We have just voted
in favor of reforms.
Years have come and gone
since the Soviet government
was firmly established in
Moscow. There is no sound
reason, no reason other than
a silly fear, for our failure
to face realities and recog-
nize the new Russia. The
recognition of Russia no
more means an acceptance of
Communism than the recog-
milton of Italy means an ac-
ceptance of Fascism. It
merely means in both cases a
recognition Of realities.

that the Garner resolution
for repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment had been de-
feated by a narrow margin

they would have been jubi-
lant over the enormous ac-
cession to the ranks Of the

Few stopped to inquire
regarding the personnel of
the votes against repeal. Had
they done so they would
have found that sixty-nine
were men who have been
repudiated by their con-
stituents and on this very
issue, and that within three

trail back into the obscurity
of private life to make way
for sixty-nine liberals who

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

vorce program for all America.
Some of the statements in
their circular may startle you.
For example:
Grounds for Divorce
This league is suggesting that
divorce should be granted on
such grounds as insanity and
social diseases.
Do you realize that in nearly
all our States it is impossible to
procure a divorce on these
grounds? Do you know that
thousands of clean, intelligent
people are bound for life to dis
eased half-wits, or raving ma
MACS, because the law makes
no provision for such contin-
gencieS?
The league would set the
marriageable age, with consent
of parents, at 16 for girls and
18 for boys. Legal age, with
out consent of parents, 18 for
girls and 81 for boys.
Do you think these ages are
old enough?
Do you know that in some
Of our States, girls may marry,
and are married, at IL and
13? Do. you. know that we
have "child marriage" condi-
tionS as horrible and shame
full as any described in Miss
Mayo's book Mother India?
Thousands of little girls who
are LEGAL MOTHERS at 13!
The league would forbid the
marriage of imbeciles, the in
sane, feeble-minded, epileptic,
paupers, those afflicted with
tuberculosis or. social disease, or.
of those related within and
including the degree of first
cousins.
Do you know that NOT ONE
SINGLE STATE contains all
these provisions in it's marriage
laws; few States possess any of
them; most States possess none
of them?
Payment of AlimOny
The league suggests that
alimony should be paid accord
ing to the financial condition
and circumstances of the
individuals in the case.
Do you believe that alimony
is ever justified, save in cases
where the wife has become
crippled or very old during the
marriage? Should a young
healthy woman with children
be awarded any money save
support for the children, after
the first year of separation?
The league makes no refer
ence to separate maintenance"
but what do you think of it?
Do you think that a wife
should be able to obtain a legal
separation, which compels her
husband to support her al
though he does not live with
her, and which denies him the
right to remarry?
In short, if the job we're
given to YOU, what laws, if any,
would you devise? Or would
you abolish ALL laws and
make marriage indisSoluble on
any grounds?
What are your views regard
ing this article? What divorce
or separate maintenance laws
would you favor? State your
views as briefly as possible in
a letter addressed to The Wash
ington Times.
