appointment as secretary of legation in
Cuba from T. r. in 1902, but when the

any suggestion of political detection from

Reliable Relaxation.
Whatever be the cause of grief
We know that pretty soon
Well find reliable relief
And sing the glad old tune.
The difficulties great and small
At last we will explain
And try to end them as we all
Go voting once again.
The holidays will swiftly range
Through this uncertain cline.
However much the seasons change,
It's always ballot time.
For polls informal we may call
Our feelings to explain.
We take new courage as we all
Go voting once again.
1t Is the national sport, indeed,
Whose charm is never lost
OF every move we haste to read
In sunshine or in frost.
It's even better than base ball
To soothe each mortal pain.
Whateer befall, we still may all
Go voting once again.

Washington, however, cannot consent

periodically he may revisit the scenes of

The beauty Of bird life is that 1t has

1t is for the young, the old; for man,

1t is safe to say that there is no one
who, at some time or other, has not
noticed the birds, of one species or an
other, and who, for few moments at
least, has not wondered at them.
AS common a sight as the birds of the

of wonder to every observer.

Inequitable Cost Division.

Two of the appropriations contained
in the District bill-for the new Police
Court Building and the reconstruction
of Chain Bridge-nave been urged for
long time Both undertakings are
considered necessary in Capital Develop
ment. But in both appropriations there
is marked inequity to the District.
In the case of the new Police Court
Building, the original authorization for
the building was made in 1926 at time
when the lump sum was 90 900 900. Then,
in 1929, plans were made for the new
Municipal Center, which delayed con-
struction of the Police Court Building.
Later the District was committed by
Congress to the expenditure of some six
million dollars for land and building
plans, with eventual cost to be some
where in the neighborhood of $4,000, 900.
AS the Municipal Center plans were
based on the fact that the District would
lose the present municipal building, it
was the understanding that the United
States would participate in the cost Of
the new buildings-certainly to the
extent Of the value of the municipal
building-of which the courts building
would be one.
Municipal Center plans have now
been abandoned for the time being. Dis
trict revenues would never permit such
expenditures. And Police Court Build
ing, originally authorized when the
lump sum was $4,000, 900, is now re-
authorized and appropriated for when
the lump sum is $2,7Oo,0OO. There is no
fairness In that arrangement.
In the case of the Chain Bridge, the
original structure was built by the United
States Engineers, later being transferred
to the Jurisdiction of the District. The
rebuilding of the bridge is made neces.
sary largely through the increased de.
n1ands Of Virginia residents. Yet the
whole cost of remodeline the structure
Is to be placed on the District Of Colum.
bia, with no participation by the State of
Virginia.
Both of these undertakings indicate
the extraordinary financial burdens
placed on local taxpayers by reason of
the fact that this is the National
Capital.

their works are so far superior, so

they have been set up as great

the artistic perfection was not linn

Psychology of Selling

When entering a large store
which has many clerks did you
ever notice the way you are ap-
preached and how action is OBJ
tanned? A trained psychologist
attracts attention first, then Gre
ates desire, causes conviction and
obtains action. This method of
selling is nearly the same in all
stores.
Human interest and reason are
the two most important factors in
sales appeal. Health, economy, eff
ficiency, and safety are the logical
things that stimulate sales appeal.
Appetite, comfort, luxury, ambi-
ton, and sex are some of the emo
tional factors that enter into buy
ing habits.
When the ordinary individual
goes into store he is at a disad-
vantage because he is an amateur
against a trained professional. He
should take scientific attitude
when buying.

Caiban

Giving "Caliban" as a declama-
ton in its best form, one must be
able to portray a personality whose
intellect is equal to that of a nine
year-old. The Characterization
should be most interesting and
amusing in order to hold the at
tention of the audience; this es-
pecially essential in "Caliban" be-
cause of its depth. The poem must
be given slowly and must be self
explanatory. This requires dis
tinctness of voice, and correct and
explicit pronunciation of words.
Caliban has queer ideas of the
reason and cause of life. He intro
duceS God as "Setebos." Many
amusing situations present them
selves; many barbaric and babyish
explanations are given for "exis-
tence." Caliban's savage nature
must be pictured before the audi
ence; his extreme envy and hatred
for ''Setebos must be enacted. His
fear in the conclusion must be
brought. out to illustrate his keen
chameleon-like temperament.

Mongoose versus Snake

The mongoose is a small ferret
like animal. 1t has a geat dislike
for snakes and finds it pleasureable
to kill them. When a mongoose
meets a snake it sits still and waits
for the snake to strike. 1t seems
to know just exactly how far the
snake can strike and always sits
down within that distance to tempt
the snake. When the snake does
strike the mongoose quickly dashes
away from his tempting spot and
the snake strikes, he is no longer
coiled and he can not strike again
until he coils again. So the snake
proceeds to coil himself but the
mongoose wastes no time in get
ting to its neck which he has a
tendency to break. The snake
hasn't chance when fighting with
the mongoose.
