WASHINGTON KNEW DEPRESSION.

Washington elected by unanimous vote as first President of the United States, entered upon the duties or that office the first head of the infant American Republic at a time which for general conditions had remarkable similarity to the CIT cumstances under which Gov Franklin D Roosevelt, elected as the thirty President in line, VIII take I'D his duties in little less than two weeks. The new nation was far from being on stable basis It was more of an experiment in government than anything else It had no finances and was badly in debt to France for money lent to conduct the war and to it's soldiery for fighting that war Its population then largely agrarian, was Tn much the same straits in which farmers of today ina themselves It confronted by hostile Indians on it's frontiers and rebeous minded citizens at nome It was adjusting itself to a framework of govern ment that was not wholly agreeable to any of It's component States Nationally and internationally the future dark
 The ndefatigibe energy, the solidarity of char acter the genius and skill he had demonstrated as Commander in Chief of the armies of the Revolu- tion and later in taking part in the preparations that led 1p to the formation of the Republic which had made him the unanimous choice for presiding officer of the Constitutional Convention and first President of the Union, were displayed by him in the eight years he held the highest office ln the land Although he had the assistance of many able men who served with him 5loyaly andt eff centIy it was mainly due to his great strength of character that the pressing problems were solved and a successful start made without the shedding of blood or the use of armed force. Through Alex ander Hamilton he worked out system of finances that not only insured speedy restoration of public credit but also gave the new government constl- tutional grounds which to stand. His personal appeal to the soldiery sent them home satisfied to await settlement of their claims. Nonpartlsan himself he kept the two natural political parties at bay from another until stability was achieved
 These are but few of his major accomplish ments as President A year ago today, the bi-cen- tennial of his birth observed Throughout the remainder of last year the nation united in honor ing his memory All of us know more Of him and his times as result of that memorial.

Buying Barbara

SYNOPSIS: Mark Lodely, arrogant young artist, arbitrar- fly summons his fiance Bar bara Quentin to him in Lon- don. She arrives in the midst of gay party he is giving; he not only does not ask her in, but makes a malicious car iacture of her to show his guests. Barbara flees to a ho- tel. Marks party, as well as his living, is paid for by Far rell Armitage, in whose house Mark is staying. Farrell en- dures Mark in the hope that when he has made him a suc- cessful artist, Barbara will lose her pity, and her lcve, for Mark, and marry Marks 'bene- factor.

CHAPTER 3S. BARBARA'S LETTER

Barbara woke, is sine always did with all senses alert. She looked around the severe hotel bedroom and remembered how she hac rung and knocked her way into it in the early hours of the morn ing. The Clanricarde had not been eager to accommodate her, but she had luggage and she had mon ey and friendly policeman had stood at her shoulder while she parleyed with the night-porter.

She had slept only few hours, but she felt refreshed; cool and clear sighted. Somehow she had come to a conclusion and hammer ed out a purpose. She rose and made an unhurried toilet. She knew that her outfit became her when she inspected herself in the mirror and she knew it again when she entered the breakfast room. People turned to watch her seat herself and the headwaiter attended to her in person.
 After breakfast she found the writing room and sat straight down to the letter which had composed itself in her mind without, ap- parently, thought or effort on her part When it was written she saw no cause to after line of it. It was to Farrell Armitage.
 T was at your house last night and I heard what you said when you watched Mark. You said, Shows him up pretty plainly but I think it is you who are shown up. I think it is you who are shown to be more despicable, far, than Mark
 Our bargain was not that you should show him up.' Mark is weak and inexperienced in spite of his mature manner and it is easy to lead him into indulging the worst, instead of the best, that is in him. Last night proves noth- ing Our bargain was that for a year you would take him and give him every chance to become inde- pendent-independent of any kind of help he could possibly want from me. Perhaps you saw that what you set out to do is not pos- sible and so, instead, you betrayed him into vulgarity so as to make me hate him.
