On the other hand Washngonians do not want the

The Commissioners in recent memorandum to Senator
William H. King of Utah, who is taking commendable in
in the effort to obtain release of the funds pointed
out that hundreds of jobs would be provided by using the

Having passed the age when

you may have reached the stage
where you are gruff and cranky.
If living with relatives, per-

You try to manage the fam
lily habits to more nearly reflect
your own desires.
Perhaps you are displeaSed
and dissatisfied with the &C
commodations you are afforded.
If you are living with young
people you complain Of the
noise that they and their young
friends make when you want to
sleep undisturbed.
If their conduct Is not regu.

you go so far as to embarrass

Three-Minute Journeys
BY Temple Manning

Avalon, right back into the
Fifteenth century. A strange
place this. Witches mounds,
Druid altars of stone slabs,
cairns and churches built on
the sites of pagan temples
bring us face to face with
things that are amazing and
inexpncable. The people round
Avalon are of Celtic origin,
very much in build and color
ing like the Highlander Of
Scotland.
Soon the visitor believes all
the legends that are part of the
place, legends that concern
themselves with Charlemagne
and King Arthur. Theirs and
not the tabled Avalon in Corn
wall is the real home of the
spirit of King Arthur, one is
told. And looking around at
this mysterious old town where
castle turrets are incorporated
in ordinary dwelling houses and
where the town crier with his
drum gives important news to
this group of Celts in the heart
of Burgundy, one can well be-
lieve anything.
Beaune is about the most i'm
portant town in Burgundy. In
1451, Nicholas Rollin and his
wife established a hospital to be
run by the religious for the bene-
fit of the sick of the town. It
stands today just as it was
founded, a rare survival Of the
past. Members of the hospital
staff wear the habit as it was
designed by Madame Rollin cen

ONCE OVERS
Thwarting Generosity

AA"GSA OAAAS S~AANSO WV
Because you try to get more
than your share whenever you
have an opportunity, may be
the reason why you are not
more literally remembered by
those in a position to favor you.
Someone has been generous
with you in respect to presents
or donations of money at times
when it has helped you much.
But you were not satisfied
and followed devious methods
to extract larger gifts.
OF course you thwarted your
own purpose.
And you deserve your fate.
None likes to feel imposed
upon and even the most gen.
erous will withhold gifts which
he might contemplate in your
behalf, when such an impress
sion is created.
If you are one Of the "gimme"
persons you don't deserve any
thing.
No matter how strong and
kindly family feeling for you
may be; irrespective of how
sincere friendship may be;
those whom you try to use as
an easy means of getting what
you want will cease to be lib
eral when they begin to under
stand that your aim is to get
all you can.

Moving Tribute

Very many of the head
stones are inset with photo
graphs, protected from wind
and weather by glass or
porcelain. And there is not
a day in the year that you
will not find men and
women standing silently
there, lost in memories of
some little creature that lies
under the flowers and the
grass.
It was a strange coinci-
dence, I think, that after
visiting this little Gods
Acre, which loyal love has
created for pets, that I
read, in a new volume Of
poems, the most moving
tribute to a dogs love that
ever came under my eyes. 1t
is in a volume of cleaning
verse, sparkling with the
spirit of the times, railing
at the follies Of the world
and very understanding Of
the troubled human heart
"a book of poems from the
pen of Mr.. Wilfred j. Funk.
And with my thoughts still
upon that hillside in Harts-
dale I read these lines:
"Father, in Thy starry tent
! kneel, a humble supplidnt
A dog had died today on
earth,

Yet Uery dear.
Gather him in Thy arms
IF only for aWhile.

In the East River of New
York, 26 low, broad-beamed
barges lay at anchor, tied in
one widespread company.
They had come by ones and
twos and threes from the
Great Lakes, through the
Erie Canal, with their coal
and farm produce. T h ey
were homes as we'll as freight
carriers, and 125 men. women
and children were asleep in
their tiny, neat cabins.
The pull Of the incoming
tide parted one anchor chain,
then another. T h e whole
group of barges, at the mercy
of the tide, went drifting up
the river, toward the whirl-
pools a and fanged rocks of

LISTEN, WORLD!

That's the National Woman's
Party story, and they intend to
stick to it. But Mrs. Roosevelt
won't agree.
"Women," says she, "Gre bG-
sically responsible for the future
of the race. Physical differ

cannot be ignored.
"W0n1en 1DorkerS, less 1OelE-
organized than men, haze been
thoroughly exploited. Such
1Uon1en are often forced to 1Oork
for a pititul 1OGge to keep their
families together"
So there you have two slants
on the question. What's
YOURS?
Do YOU think that "a woman
has as much right to work, and
choose her job, as a man?"
Do YOU think it is any
harder for a woman to work
IL hours in shirt factory or
cannery than to spend the same
time doing her own general
housework-concerning which
you never hear a zip from these
So-chivalrous men?
In short, if you were making
the labor laws, how would you
frame this particular one? Pres
emily you'll have to vote on this
question. Let's have your straw
vote now.

It is worth while touring in
France to visit the Burgundy
region alone. For in it is all
the beauty, the romance, the
history and the tabled legends
that anyone could ask for. The
miles and miles of vineyards
make beautiful the countryside
with purple, blue and green.
The land and it's people seem
stepped in antiquity as indeed
they are. Lovely old churches,
castles built like fortresses,
noble abbeys, timbered houses,
old walls, moats and gates,
smiling farms and inns with
gardened courtyards all go to
make up a smiling scene. The
upper Loire threads it's way
through the heart of what was
once the kingdom and later
the duchy of Burgundy, the
Burgundy or Bourgoyne that
has had such a profound in
fluence on the history of
France. Visit Beaune, Chablis
Cluny, Sens, Vezelay and Ava
Ion and you will find yourself
in a world apart.
Vezelay is quiet, lovely, busy
contemplating it's crowded past.
It sits high on the hills with
an old abbey standing like a

Caught by Tide

The sense of motion-the
instinct that danger threat
ened, snatched the bdrgemen
from sleep. They ran to the
decks shouting cries for help
across t h e broad bosom of
the river. Women S screams
and t h e cries of terrified
children echoed over the
waters. The tide flowed in
faster, stronger. Closer and
closer the barges d W to
the knife-like reefs Of He'll
Gate, to the wreck that would
cost the lives Of many of the
helpless people on board.
Suddenly, a little dog, off
som e w h err e in the dark,
barked wildly, lncessantly,
w it h high, frenzied notes.
After a little while-though
it seemed like an age to the
people on the run a W ay
barges, the bright finger of a
searchlight went pointing
over the b | a k river. 1t
rested upon and clung to the
swiftly-drifting fleet. A siren
shrieked. The beat Of en-
gines thudded through the
quiet. And presently a fire
boat and two tugboats drew
alongside the bargcs, made
fast, checked their drift and
towed them to safety.

was as easy as rolling off a
horse. And the girl who went
West" always brought back a lot
of trophies, scalps, skins. In
dian arrows and a perfectly
good marriage certificate.
Once she had her man roped
and tied-branding him, tanning
him and harnessing him for do
mestic purposes was just spread
ing the icing on the cake. The
trick was DONE!
But, alas, those halcyon days
are gone! The Indians, the buf-
falo and the marriageable men
have retreated to their "reserva-
tions" and become lazy, eau
tious, timid and self-contented.
Nothing but a fire can lure
them into the dangerous open.
And it is as hard to induce a
free man to sign wedding GER
tificate as it is to get an Indian
to sign away any more Of his
land.
