She sat alone, her queer, strange

Peered out beneath a felt hats

Her eyes we're enigmatic, green;
Her nose was pointed, sharp ana

Her coat was shabby, pulled about
A gown of black chiffon. sad

OF frocks that ladies wear to grace
A ball, and Of their shoulders

Her body was a shapelesS mass
OF wrinkled flesh drawn ovaf

Her soul crouched In her staring

Recently you published in your

all appearances, it did not set very
well with some people. This is evil
denced by subsequent letters you
have printed.

I am not only amused by satisfied
when I see that no one yet has
been able to pick a flaw in my con-

are unconstitutional j. F. w. con-

that I tried to pick or find some
very finsy propaganda to further

REAL BUSINESS is THE
NEED OF NATION
BY H. L. Seeger.
The very pertinent observation Of
Colonel Leonard Ayres Of the Cleve-
land Trust Company that we must
put our unemployed back to work
on capital goods production is Of
great Importance.
All this talk of overproduction is
pure bunk, when we know that
100000 families live in obsolete
homes, that 40 per cent of our mo-
tor cars are five or more years old,
that millions of Americans need q
new suit of clothes, and only lack
the funds to buy, that home fur
nishings in many homes are relics
of twenty years ago, that n1oderni-
cation of homes would take three
years Of full time labor.
The only danger Of Americas 60
ing bankrupt lies in the fact that
We have queer conceptions of wealth,
everything we value is translated
in money terms. These slums must
stay because there is q fiction of
capital value in them.
Chicago has as many vacant apart
ments and dwellings as the total
available housing of Indianapolis,
much of it high grade. If, instead
Of pouring out billions for public
works and other nonproductiVe
projects, the federal government
would underwrite a ninety-day full
production schedule of consumer
and producer goods, utilizing all
production facilities and man power,
there would be real value to ma
tional spending.
A ninety-day period of high
speed production would create
wealth, real values, make tax pay
ing possible, prime the pump of in
dustry, take the red ink out of bust
ness, and move the federal deficit
into a balanced budget. Let's go.
Real business, not monkey business,
is the key.

during the administrations Of Harrison
and Cleveland.
The spanish-American War caused
an expansion Of the executive force,
and this continued in the first Roose-
velt administration to the point where
more space was required, resulting In
the construction Of the annex on the
west side. That was enlarged to it,
present size during President Tsft's
term. II has now become inadequate,
and for some time past It has been
necessary to use space in the depart
mental building on the other side
Of Executive avenue.
A plan has lately been in contem-
plation for the ultimate adaptation
Of the so-called State, War and Navy
Building as the executive ONCE. This,
Of course, can not be effected until
new homes for the State and War
Departments are provided, the Navy
Department having long since been
transferred to one Of the wartime
structures in Potomac Park. Definite
plans for these constructions are In

celebrity has come to him. And the
child himself Is not to blame.
Probably no individual is at fault.
The villain In the piece Is that low
est common denominator Of human
intelligence which finds expression in
senseless legislation. John went with
his mother to visit Central Park. and
while there unwittingly violated the
law-by digging in the ground with q
toy spade. The greatest city Of the
planet took immediate note Of the
offense. Through the instrument Of
its police, it reached out its mighty
arm, seized the tiny public enemy"
and thrust him into Jail.
Laugh, ye gods Of Olympus; laugh.
ye philosophers! Behold spectacle

thousand other felons are free, rackets
flourish on every hand, corruption
prospers, but New York has time to
pursue infants whose only sin con-
sists In digging in a community

sitting in a proper court, had no more
sense of humor than to Judge the
diminutive criminal" guilty. Fined
two dollars, which his mother could
not pay, he was sent to a cell-and
the law was avenged.
But what Of the larger principle in

for those who persecute children?
Granted that the parks must be kept

The Growing Executive Offices.


The preparation Of tentative plans
for the expansion of the executive
offices west Of the White House
denotes the growth of the presidential
unit of Federal administration In
recent years, and particularly in the
past decade. It is proposed to enlarge
the accommodations by the construc-
ton af an annex to the south Of the
present structure which will provide
space for the Presidents private office
and the cabinet room.
There are now serving at the execu-
tive offices from ITS to 180 workers,
some on the immediate pay roll Of
the White House and others on detail
from the various departments. This
is one: Of the busiest forces Of the
Government. The handling Of the
mail alone calls for q staff several
times larger than that which COM
prised the entire executive organization
Of forty years ago.
Until President Theodore Roosevelt
brought about the enlargement Of the
executive establishment by the con-
struction Of the present west wing,
all of the administrative work was
performed in the eastern end Of the
main building on the second floor.

rate Of 23l miles an hour at l:4I pm,

Funds for a Treaty Navy.

President Roosevelt makes the vel
come announcement that in forth
coming supplementary appropriation
measure calling for little less than
81 500 100000 he will seek authority
to start naval construction under the
program already approved by Con-
gress to bring the United States Navy
up to full treaty strength. That pro-
gram authorized such construction
but made no actual appropriations for
it. The general public sometimes
fails to distinguish between authoriza-
ton to build ships and appropriation
Of the requisite funds. There is all
the difference in the world between
the two terms-in the case Of a navy
it is the difference between blue
prints and real ships.
Mr.. Roosevelt has not yet decided
how many of the 1o2 new ships au-
thorized by Congress shall at once be
started in construction, but he wants
authority to use for that purpose such
part of the new general funds avail
able as he may deem desirable. Pro-
spectively, the portion to be earmarked
for naval building will come out Of
the $5Oo,0Oo,oo to be allocated for
public works projects. This accords
with a recent suggestion Of Chairman
Vinson Of the House Naval Affairs
Committee, in which the recent
treaty-strength Navy bill originated.
Such utilization Of P. w. A. funds
is justifable from every standpoint.
The money goes straight into mate
rials, with consequent direct benefit
to a variety Of basic industries, and
into the pockets Of labor in many
communities. The Presidents plan
has a present-hour political aspect Of
no less Importance than its economic
significance. The question Of naval
treaties comes up next year. Japan's
known intention Of demanding revi-
sion of ratios in her favor makes Ger
tain that the problem will bristle with
complications. Certainly, as far as
American interests are concerned, the
outcome will largely depend upon
whether we enter the discussion with
a United States Navy that Is being
built up to treaty strength. If We are
to be placed in such position, no
time is to be lost in making q start
in the corresponding direction.
President Roosevelt's support OF
Representative Wilson's suggestion In
dicates the administrations readiness
to take the necessary steps. Possibly
this decision may have q certain
restraining effect upon Japan's new
thrust for the overlordship Of Asia.
Even though we are preparing to pull
out of the Philippines. the actual in
auguration Of q treaty navy building
program will be a graphic indication
that we do not intend to disarm in
the Pacific as long as the world Is
face to face with a japanese empire
bent upon unlimited expansion in
Asia, and perhaps beyond, regardless
Of its obligations under supposedly
sacred international treaties.

Announcement by Postmaster Gen.
eral Farley that payless furloughs will
be eliminated from his department
is greeted with general approval.
1T Is satisfactory to note" says the
Dayton (Ohio) Herald, that some at
least Of the hardships which have
borne heavily upon a vast number Of
Uncle Sans faithful workers have
been removed" The New London
(Conn.) Day thinks that Uncle Sam
has little to be proud of In his treat
ment Of his postal employees In this
period of emergency" and the New

be regretted that the Postmaster Gen.
eral does not admit frankly that he
made q blunder."
"Penny-pinching economy" Is re-
gretted by the Pittsburgh Post-Ga-
cite, hailing the end Of the most
striking example Of Government reg
ulating industrial practice for recov-
cry. while declining to take its own
medicine" The Post Gazette also
comments: when the post office sys-
tenn is busy it Is fair to assume 1t
.
More purchasing power for the army
OF postal employees will in turn bene-
fit business" The Charleston (W.
Va.) Daily Mail emphasizes the fact
that Inconsistency in cutting wages
while insisting that private employers
increase wages was the subject Of
much unfavorable comment"
These economies were being prac-
ticed," according to the Connellsville
Courier, under the assumption sew
eral preceding Postmaster Generals
have had that the delivery Of mail Is
q purely business enterprise, not q
service the Government is rendering
the people. The effort was being made
to lessen the cost Of the service In
the belief that it could be made self
sustaining, which has never been pos
sible Of attainment The people want
efacient dispatch and delivery Of mail.
They are less concerned about the
cost than they are being able to re-
ceive their mail promptly and regu-
larly."
mot only win payless furloughs be
eliminated" observes the Savannah
Morning News, but deliveries In resi-
dental districts Of cities will be In
creased from one to two daily; In
business districts from three to four
daily, and in mixed business and resi-

tional allowances for substitutes will
