SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Education.

It's time again for girls and boys
To travel on to school
And learn to taste of wisdom's joys
Beneath scholastic rule.
The knowledge that experience bring
Comes as We older grow
And often we are learning things
We wish We didn't know.
Our A B C's we learned with ease,
In that departed day,
Upon the alphabet we seize
And twist it every way.
Fate, as the letters still she filings
And sets them in a row,
Compels us to learn many things
We wish we didn't know.

Senator Sorghum. When posterity
revives We Have No Bananas a large

a present tendency to make peace ter

Evolution.

Evolution.
We used to sneer at cigarettes
And bloomers and at suffragettes.
At present each is much inclined
In many ways to change his mind.
A horse race patiently we view,
We're thinking now Of lotteries too.
When progress is the worlds pursuit
Even our morals evolute.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

To date his fame has not spread
much beyond his native Indiana
where he is the reigning amateur

Mr.. Anderson, who is a tall, gray

with q pleasant smile, lives in Posey
County.
If there is any more typical HooSiel
county than Posey, no one has ever
found it. 1t is down in the southern
part of the State, where the name
''Hoosier" really originated.
There have been great many
stories about the word, the favorite
being that 1t was the way the pioneers

came on their cabin doors.

THE IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT.
1S50-l865. BY .rthur Charles
Cole. New York: The Macmil-
Ian Co.
Material and points Of view are
never exhausted when critical periods
of history are in Question. This new
discussion of the Civil War and the
chain of events which made it ap-
parently inevitable is by a professor
of history Of Western Reserve Uni
versity, and is Vol. VII of the History
of American Life Series. Like all the
volumes Of the series, this one is
scholarly. based on the study of sound
authorities. A critical essay on au-
thorities. which are extensive, con-
stitutes the last chapter. What is
even more to the point with the
general reader is that DR.. Cole writes
interestingly. He treats the decade
preceding the Civil War in its en-
tirety, not merely as a prelude to
conflict, and in that period much
of political, economic and cultural
importance took place not directly
connected with slavery. The Middle
West was coming into prominence,
and the battle of the pioneer farmer
with the soil made most of his group
forget the menace Of growing Sec
tional trouble. The East was busy
making money and factories and
shops were springing up everywhere.
Transportation was becoming a ma
tfenal problem; plank roads, canals
and railroads were opening W wilder

CITIZENS OPPOSE
HIGHER CITY TAX
KaIorama Group Approves
Capital Primary Laws.
DiSbanding Argued.

Opposition to any increase in the
real estate tax for the District was
expressed at the first Fall meeting Of
the Kalorama Citizens Association
last night
In another resolution the aSsocia-
ton Endorsed a primary law for the
Capital, to govern the election of
delegates to national political conven-
tions.
The meeting, called at the home of
President John w. Holcombe, 2f27
Bancroft place, to discuss the question
OF whether the association should be
continued, was not decisive in this
respect and it was voted to postpone
action on this problem until next
month.
Low Attendance Cited.
Poor attendance, due apparently to
slack of complaints" against the man
ner in which Kalorama is treated by
District officials, was given as the rea-
son for discontinuing the associations
meetings.
Miss Eta L. Taggart said, however,
a large attendance was not necessary
to the success Of civic group and
opposed a suggestion that the associa-
ton meet every three months, with
the right reserved to call special ses-
sions.
Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley also opposed
disruption of the association and in
vited the group to meet next month
at her home, 2345 Ashmead place.
Mr.. Holcombe. who has presided
over the associations meetings for the
past year, said it was embarrassing to
invite persons of prominence to speak
and then have IL or is members at
tend. He pointed out that the best
attendance last year was about 40.
Treasury Low Says Proctor.
The treasury of the association is in
such bad shape that the Kalorama
group could not afford monthly meet
ings in rented quarters, John L. Proc
tor contended.
The advisability of continuing reg
ular meetings also was questioned by
Oohe' L. a. DOAA' Oa4AAAS "ONCA0L0AA
to a smoke nuisance resolution adopted
last year, he said that requests of the
association are pigeon-holed when
forwarded to the Capitol. Kalorama
is as smoky as ever, he said.

Wiley We're named members of the
