lines has to do with big man in
the financial district, who when he
moved his office, failed to find his
favorite brand of high-priced cigars
in the stores in that vicinity. He
wrote to the company about the mat
ter and received an answer which
stated that he must be in error as
the brand was sold in several ada
cent stores. Thereupon, the financial
man got the president of the COM
pany on the telephone and took him
from store to store. Having proved
his point, he took him to luncheon.
Now all he has to do is send down
stairs for his cigars.
Another instance of persistency
has to do with a taxicab driver and
a manufactures. The manufacturer
gave the driver an address but,
when it was almost reached, re-
called that his friend had moved.
He then told the driver to turn
around and go to another address.
The driver, surly and ill-humOred,
Immediately began to LET loose re-
marks about passengers Who were
unable to make up their minds. The
manufacturer let him rave. But
when they were within few blocks
, of the second address, he ordered the
driver to turn around and go to an
other. The driver, furiO1s, ordered
the passenger out Don't act like
that" said the passenger gently.
'This'll be the last time ~ change
my mind promise you that" It'd
better be-" snarled the driver. The
address turned out to be that of a
police station and the driver spent
the night there That the manufac-
turer paid his fine the next morn
ing is beside the point. He was en-
tirely satisfied with his little lesson
in civility.

with highest vigor in condemnation of public
practices, the parallel of which may be dis
cerned today. One may, therefore, imagine the
Indignation with which he might ill were he
to behold his beloved country, now the richest
and most powerful on earth, sunk in the
slough of depression. 1t was IN similar
situation, toward the end of 1778, when Wash
ington had arrived at the decision that
new political deal was imperative If the cause
of the Revolution to succeed, that he
wrote:
"I have seen nothing since came here
(Philadelphia) to change my opinion
of men or measrs., but abundant reason to
be convinced that our affairs are in more
distressing, ruinous and deplorable condition
than they have been in since the commence
ment of the war; If was to be called
upon to draw a picture of the times and OF
men, from what have seen. and heard, and in
part know, should in word say that idle
ness, dissipation and extravaganza seems TO
have laid fast hold of most of them-that
speculation, pecldation and an Unsuitable thirst
for riches seems to have got the better of every
other consideration and almost of every order
of men-that party disputes and personal quar-
rels are the great business of the day whilst
the momentous concerns of an empire-a great
and accumulated debt-ruined finances-de-
preciated money-and want of credit (Which in
their consequences is the want of everything)
are but secondary considerations and postponed
from day to day-from week to week if our
affairs wear the most promising aspect. After
drawing this picture, which from my soul be-
lieve to be true one need not repeat to you
that am alarmed and wish to see my country
men aroused"
But Washington did not always allow the
dark devils Of despair to possess him, for on
another occasion he wrote:
mankind as they are, since We cannot have
them as we wish"
Evening star., 1933-02-19

And again: 1--WE must not despair; the
game is yet in our own hands; to play 1t well
is all we have TO do
In the midst of it all he recognized that
world success is not always attainable, but dis
cerned something infinitely more important
and he wrote:
However it may be the practice of the
world and those who see objects but partially
or thro false medium, to consider that only
as meritorious which is attended with sue
cess, have accustomed myself to judge or
human Actions very differently and to apprecl-
ate them by the manner in which they are
conducted, more than by the Event, which it
is not in the power of human foresight and
prudence to command
Carrying out this thought on another occa-
sion, he could say
Integrity and firmness are all can prom
Use. These. be my voyage long short shall
never forsake me, although may be deserted
by all men, for of all the consultations which
are to be derived from these under any circum-
stances the world cannot deprive me-"
"A /ASHINGTONS sorrow over the hardships
suffered by his troops at Valley Forge
and Morristown is well known to posterity, but
it is worth while to recall in these days when
few American communities have escaped misery
his description of the forttude with which the
rigors of the toughest Winter of the Revolu-
ton were endured.
ITO see men," said he, without clothes to
cover their nakedness, without blankets to lie

might be traced by the blood from their feet,
and almost as often without provisions as with

Thanks to the mammoth and universal OBJ
servance OF the Bicentennial last year, Ameri-
cans and liberty lovers of the entire world have
come into a vastly deeper appreciation and
understanding of the significance Of Washing
ton in the long history of civilization. Through
the wide dissemination of knowledge of the
man and his career he is no longer frigid,
aloof figure of history, known to the gener-
ality of people only as the great military chief
tain and statesman. Today mankind is very
close to the man himself, his spirit and the
qualities which made him eminent in so

to q despairing world is the revelation of his
words and deeds when tides were rushing
swiftly against him and his cause.

WOUND SURPRISE
TO CAPTURED Man
Shot in Leg Discovered After
Chase When Attempt Is Made
to Rob Woman.

Shot in the left leg while fleeing from
a policemen early today, Paul Hickman,
%, colored, did not realize he had been
wounded until after his capture, short
time later, he told the officer.
Policeman R. N. Finch of the Traffic
Bureau came upon Hickman about IS
minutes after a colored man attempted
to rob Ludia Walters, colored, near her
home in the TOO block Of Gresham
place.
Hickman, who lives in the 1000 block
of Nineteenth street, and taxi driver
were engaged in a heated argument on
Fifth street between Girard street and
Gresham place, the officer said. As
Finch approached the pair, he con-
tinued, Hickman ran. After q short
chase, the policeman said. he fired at
Hickman's feet in an effort to frighten
him. Hickman continued running, how
ever, until Finch overlook him
After being placed under arrest Hick-
man complained of a sudden pain in
his leg, and examination by the officer
revealed he was wounded. He was taken
to Freedman's Hospital.
The Walters woman told the police
the man who attempted to rob her was
armed with pistol. No gun was found
on Hickman.
