Irking Problem
OF Holidays
SAD REJOICING
BY HELEN ESSARY


Something ought to be done
about holidays!
What, dear Heaven, we can.
not say.
We've got to be patriotic, and
love George Washington. For
the good of humanity, prob
ably. we've got to be reverent
on Mothers Day. It's a sweet
idea. We've got to be religious
on Christmas. We've got to
be thankful on Thanksgiving
Day. On the Fourth of July,
we have to shoot patriotic fire
works.
All these emotions and &C.
tivities are necessary for adult
character building and for the
development of the young. Par
ticularly for the development
Of the young.
But-we hate the necessity
Of feeling reverent and patriotic
ana thankful-on certain dates.
Happy on any of them we can
never be. Merely because we
are told we must.
Moreover, holidays never come
at the right time. Today's not
the day for us to remember the
Father of His Country. We've
a thousand other things we
really have to do.
Besides, the children are
home from school. Chanting
that holiday tune. Mother,
why can't 1 go to -"
And husbands are home. If
they aren't, we think they
ought to be. Other peoples
husbands are home. Playing
golf happily and planning fam
lily dinners. We don't want to
play golf and we hate family
dinners. But we are annoyed
just the same.
Lula and Alice washington,
who run our domestic life, have
gone to parties. And we can't
have lamb chops for dinner be-
cause it's Friday. And we don't
like red, white, and blue ice
cream for dessert.
Something simply has to be
done about holidays!
However, speaking of George
Washington and his Monument
you know the one we mean
we should like to call your atten-
ton to the fact that the corner.
stone of the Generals Monu-
ment was the gift of Thomas
Symington of Baltimore. Many
WaShingtonianS know Thomas
Symington's descendants.
The cornerstone weighs 24,5OO
pounds. It was quarried at the
Symington marble works. at
Cockeysville and was laid in
June, 1849.
Today the PWA bandages ap.
piled for the Monuments facial
have been removed. If you are
feeling strong you may walk up
the stairs and see the memorial
stones of each of the 48 States.
Idaho and Arizona gave their
stones not very long ago.
Brazil, China. Greece, Japan,
Siam, and Turkey have stones
in the Monument.
On Turkeys stone is the Ara

LEGION BRANCH
URGED To NIP
D. {. REDS
Lieut.. Lineburg Sees Need Of
PIT. A. Auxiliary; Says He
Will Help Proposal

Convinced that a local Ameri
can Legion post or auxiliary for
the specific purpose of fighting
Communism in the schools is
sorely needed in the District
Lieut.. Horace w. Lineburg, senior
vice commander of the legion'S
District department, today advo.
Gated the drafting Of such an
organization from the ranks of
the Parent-Teacher Association.
Agreeing with an opinion ex
pressed by Department Com
mander j. O'Connor Roberts
Lieutenant Lineburg doub e d
there is a sufficient number of
local school system employees in
the Capital to form a post within
the ranks of teachers. He said:
SIT goes without saying that
a post made up entirely of
school employees would be the
most desirable to fight this evil
in the schools. But 1 seriously
doubt whether there are a suf-
ficient number of such employees
to make a legion post.
WILL HELP PLAN
"The next best thing to a
teachers post, in my opinion,
would be the establishment of
a post or an auxiliary from the
ranks of parents and teachers
of school children. / am heart
lily in favor of such an orbaniza-
ton and will do all within my
power to bring about its Or
ganizatiOn."
Lieutenant Lineburg said there
is no doubt that there is suffi
Gent number of members of the
local Parent-Teacher group to
organize into a post of auxiliary.
Requirements of the legion call
for at least Is men, who served
in the World War, to make up a
post, or the same number of
mothers, wives, or sisters of a
World War veteran to compose an
auxiliary.
In Crime Bureau
The lieutenant is the command
ing officer of the Police Depart
ment Crime Prevention Bureau,
and investigation of communistic
activities in the District is under
his jurisdiction.
He stated that with a group of
parents and teachers for the
specific purpose of fighting Com
munism in the school system, the
evil could be "nipped in the bud
while other local posts, all of
which are pledged to a program
of 100 per cent Americanism,
could fight Communism in other
quarters.

New York Ban on Cosmetics
Not to Extend to Federal

President Roosevelt positively
will not ask Congress for legisla'

by Federal employees.
This was learned today on the
highest authority. 1t was also
learned that so far as the White

themselves are concerned, paint
and powder by these or other
names have come to stay.
Red fingernails? All matter

the opinion around the Post OF

Huey Long and everything. he
wouldn't invite any more trouble
by going into the powder-and.

Assistant Secretary of the In
terror Oscar L. Chapman, one OF
the socially inclined members OF

'leave it entirely to their own
discretion" and laughingly made
it plain that feminine employees of
the Interior Department would
not be restricted in details Of per.

use one, two or three coats OF

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
SWOOPER

While Uncle Wiggily and his
wife were staying at the summer
cottage near Green Lake three new
little baby bunnies came to live
with them. The baby bunnies were
no larger than a lollypop and they
were so cute that when the older
rabbit children saw them they all
said:
"Oh! OH OIL" Three times
just like that.
The new little rabbits were named
Cutie, Bootie and Scootie. Cutie
was so named because she was SO
very cute. Bootie had four little
black paws, While the rest Of him
was white fur 1t looked as if he
had on boots and so he was named.
You can guess how ScOotie got his
name-it was because he was al
ways scooting, running and hop
ping here, there and everywhere, to
see what he could find.
But I'll tell you one thing,
Scootie," said Uncle Wiggily, you

Bootie and Scootie wanted some Of
this clover, Forgetting what they
had been told, and very hungry
for the sweet clover, one day all
three of them left the cool, shady
woods and ran to the field.
oh, this clover is good" said
Cutie, nibbling it.
'As sweet as honey" said Bootie,
taking a big bite of it.
And I don't believe any swooper
will get u.s." said Scootie. we can
come here as often as we like"
Hawk Appears
Just then, all of a sudden, down
out of the blue sky where he had
been lowering and waiting for this
chance, Swooped a savage, hungry
hawk. With a whirr of his big
wings the hawk made a grab for
Cutie, but she jumped aside just
in time The hawk scared up and
made another swoop for Bootie.
The bird would have caught the
little rabbit except that, just then,
out OF the bushes nearby Jumped a
man with a stick.
Get away Let those baby rab-
bits alonep shouted the man, who
had been playing golf and who had
lost a ball. Get away, you hawk"
He threw his club at the sWooper
and the frightened bird, gnashing
his beak, flew away.
Cutie, Bootie and Scootie didn't
know what the man had said, of
course. But they knew enough to
hop back to the safety Of the woods
where Uncle Wiggily was waiting
for them and he scolded them.
They didn't go to the clover
field again until they were big
bunnies and able to keep away
from the swooping hawk.
And if the feather duster doesn't
fly away and try to catch the ten
mis- ball, I'll tell you next about
Uncle Wiggily's swing.

WASHINGTON, July 80 UR) -
Many people scarcely could believe
their ears when they heard about
Comptroller General John Raymond
McCarl, the governments No. no
man." going fishing with President
Roosevelt Saturday and Sunday.
Every penny of federal eXpendi-
lures must pass McCarl's scrutiny
to see that they conform to the in
tentions of congress. He says no
to presidents, cabinet officers and
minor federal employees with equal
ease. Quite often he has said no
to the New Deal, even on some OF
its most cherished projects.
From those conflicts, many have
gained the impression that McCarl
and the President were bitter enc
mics who might not even speak to
each other, let alone go fishing to-
gether
Mr.. Roosevelt actually thinks very
highly of McCarl. He knows the
responsibility that rests on McCarl
and knows that he discharges 1t
without fear or favor. Relations be-
tween McCarl's office and the White
House generally are smoother than
during any other administration
and that despite the fact McCarl Is
a Republican.
The weekend trip with the Presi-
dent was a bit surprising, however
in that it marked a break in NC
Carls studiously unsocial life. Al
ways he has Stunned personal con-
tact with politicians and govern
ment officials, even Presidents, lest
he be accused of favoritism or un-
graciousness to friends when he has
