Bonus Money

Reliable estimates of how veterans of the World War
will spend the money received in exchange for their ad
iusted service bonds being published by The Wash
ington Times, amply justify the long fight which the
Hearst papers conducted for payment of the bonus.
These figures demonstrate that the UeterGns
aren't going out and spend their delayed cOmpensG-
ton on "riOtOus Uing, but that they are going to
spend the most of it sOIid substantial necessities.
Of course, some Of the veterans going to have
good time part of their money.
They deserve it and entitled to good time if they
want i-Heaven knows they underwent enough hardship
to get it!
Veterans residing in Washington will receive approx
ately sixteen million dollars if they all cash their bonds
That is lot of new money to introduce into the city
affairs
IT SHOULD AND PROBABLY WILL PROVE TO
BE THE LAST STIMULUS NEEDED TO WIPE OUT
THE REMAINS OF THE LATE DEPRESSION HERE
We are glad that The Washington Times had part
with the other Hearst papers in forcing the Government
to make this long overdue payment to its loyal defenders
Winning of the payment has not been easy struggle
for the leaders of the veterans and their ympathzerS
There have been times during the long fight when it
seemed as though the Government would never be will
ing to meet its just debt to the soldiers.
Fortunately that Congress has ordered the bonus
paid over another Presidential veo the executive branch
of the Government is apparently working hard to carry
out the mandate.
Nothing less could be expected
Every effort apparently being made to get the bonds
out to the veterans on the fifteenth of June and to pro-
vide for their conversion into cash with minimum Of
delay

Round
BY HELEN ROWLAND

Making a conquest of a woman
who is just back from Reno and
still feeling sorry for herself is
right in the class with taking
Ethiopia from Halle Selassie or
candy from a baby.
No sunshade and no optical de-
vice ever invented was such a
rest-cure for a mans eyes as the
passing of the recent rash OF
platinum blondes.
This is the time of year when
husbands begin thinking of their
summer vacations-and wives put
the last finishing touches on the
plans they made six months ago
as to where and how it will be
spent.
Lawyers, doctors and dentists
always proudly display their
diplomas in the front office. But
one of the rarest sights in the
world is framed Domestic
Science diploma hanging in the
kitchen of a sweet girl graduate.
To a man, a love-affair is like
a mystery story. All the fun and
excitement consist in guessing
what will happen next. But a
woman always wants to read the
last chapter first-and then turn
back and start right in the mid
die Of the story.
When a man finds himself pay
ing two or three allotments OF
alimony he should make up his
mind to stop changing wives and
begin outstanding his change.
The sexes will never understand
each other as long as a woman'S
idea of "housecleaning" consists
in moving the piano every spring
and fall, and a mans consists in
merely running a straw through
the house and blowing out the
dust.
What many an aStonished bride
would like to know is why the
man who married her because he
thought her Heavens Master

honeymoon, to try to improve on
the Deity's handiwork.

The most important, mysterious force IN hui
mans is Conscience, constantly fighting evil i'm

The power of Conscience, its ceaseess effect
upon men, the gradual changes it has wrought
from the beginning of history are in all of that
history, the strangest, the most inexpllcable to
those who do not consider that possesses
SOUL living in an imperfect body.
Westermarck profound historian and student
of mankind, devoted his learning to an analysis
of conflicting powers in mankind, pictured here
as "Conscience and Temptation" He tried to
discover whether man does that which is right
because of some innate force forever struggling
with his lower nature, whether what we call
Conscience-right opposed to wrong-lS
simply the result of experience.
The individual who calls himself an atheist
(Which means often that he prefers to make a
god of his own small intelligence) will tell you
that there is no Conscience, but only EXPERT
ENCE A burnt child learns to avoid fire Men
learn that in the end harming others means ult-
mate harm to themselves. Consequently men
refrain from harming others, not because of
Conscience, but because Experience has taught
them that just dealing is profitable.
To those possessing the consolation of re-
ligious faith, opposing forces of Conscience and
Temptation present no difficulties. Good and
evil struggle to possess the individual Con-
science represents good; Temptation is evil.
Man is a being fallen from higher estate,
through the fall of Adam, for which he blamed
Eve, habit that still sticks to him. Since
yielding to that original temptation, when Satan,
disguised as a serpent, offered the apple, the
life of man has been one continual struggle
between Temptation and Conscience, one seeking
to drag him down, the other to save him.

endless alibiS, placing the blame
on their parents or the social
system. But nine times out of
ten they are failures simply be-
cause they never learned how to
make decisions. They were licked
at the starting point because
they could never make up their

Even the best of us are weak in
this department of our lives. We're
weak not because we wish to be
but because we have a wrong con-
ception of decisions. We think
that Making a Decision implies
picking the perfectly correctly and
safe course of action. And since
each course of action on close in
spection reveals peculiar dangers,
we are hopelessly confused and
usually end by doing nothing at
all.

Journeys
TAHITI

One place that has been getting
great play from visitors in re-
cent years is Tahiti, one of the
most glamourous of the islands of
the Pacific. Many travellers return
so enthusiastic that others are
induced to make the trip to see
if their friends have departed from
the rule of strict veracity.
The movie people are particu-
larly enthusiastic and so are
authors and artists. AS a re-
suit, quite an artists colony is
forming in Tahiti, one of the
Society islands that is about half
way between San Francisco and
Sydney. The islands are vol
canic and almost entirely ringed
by coral reefs. Tahiti is the
chief island of the group which
is under French administration.
Half hidden among scarlet
lowered trees is Papeete, princi-
pal town of the Society islands.
About the beautiful harbor are
graceful schooners which carry
on the copra and pearl trade
with the other islands. The
town glows with color. Along
one side of the principal street,
canoes are drawn up on the
short, rich grass and clear green
sea water laps the very roots of
the hloSS0min0 trees
The market is one Of the sights
of Papeete. It is open early in
the morning and Sunday morning
is the best time to visit it.
Strange eatables are arrayed on
the stalls along with strange
denizens of the deep and all sorts
of tropical fruits. But the chief
interest is the fish.
Eight miles from Papeete in a
grove of hibiscus, coconuts and
pandaus.
Those who are in Tahiti dur
ing the summer generally man
age to be there around the
fourteenth of July, BaStile Day.
Then the alwayS-joyouS Tahitians
become even more carefree and
a carnival spirit rules. There are
sports, races and other competi-
tions, the most popular being
the hula-hula dances. There are
stalls for the sale of all sorts of
fascinating articles, mostly by
lottery. But always, no matter
what time of the year the visitor
is in Tahiti, there is charm,
romance, interest and true
beauty.

idea. But he doesn't think Sen
ator Holt should get too cheSty
over his record.
Senator Donahey hasn't intro

he isn't going to, either.
BEST OF ALL
It was P. T. Barnum'S idea to
get everything under the Big
Tent that he could get. Work
ing on a sort of a shotgun theory
he figured that if you couldn't
catch a customer with one thing
you'd be sure to get the Shekels
with another.
Just to show how right he was
and that the Big Top may be
passing up an attraction or two,
they are telling this story at the
Big Dome:
An artist had parked his easel
at the Tidal Basin. He was do
ing a sketch of the water gate.
Just as he was going fine a young
man approached and asked If he
might watch. The artist aSsented.
There was silence for half an
hour. The youth watched in
tently. Finally he couldn't hold
in any longer. He blurted:

the announcement of his demise

human progress.

therefore l am not sure" calls himself an
evolutionist, believing that man is the result
of material progress and change, raising him
as it has raised other animals; but the agnostic
is forced to recognize in Conscience the eternal
struggle against evil carried on by some power
in the mind of man, as proof of the existence
of some force that his science of evolution"
cannot explain.
In the animals he sees evolution and proves
it completely to his own satisfaction, the small
creature changing by degrees into horse, ami
mails emerging from the sea changing into bat
like creatures with wings. The evolutionist
thinks he can prove that the five fingers on
your hand are inherited from the five toes of
an ancestral lizard-ike salamander living in the
Carboniferous Era. He thinks that he can prove
that the giant whale used to live on land as a
tiny tree shrew.
But no evolutonist, no science, nothing but
belief that man is something more than an ami
NAL something more than product of evolution
can explain the existence of Conference.-The
mysterious force that works in man, forever
fighting animal temptation that would push man
back down among beasts.
It is easier to explain Temptation than to
understand it. 1t works to crafty the lower de-
sires-thus explaining immortality. 1t works to
acquire wealth regardless of rght-this explains
crime, and some features of respectable bust
ness" 1t represents the lower nature of man,
demanding the right to dominate.
But who can explain Conscience, apart from
the belief that man has soul, a power within
him working forever against his lower nature,
and his alleged descent from lower animals.

Bodily slavery among wide
spread as the human race itself. The powerful
man took his ease and his pleasures while COM
polling those whom he had conquered to toll and
suffer for him. Slavery built the Pyramids, great
monuments of the ancient times. And one of the
noblest of philosophers, in profound sincerity,
declared that slavery must exist for the good Of
the human race, because without it, there could
be no leisure class, no thinking, no knowledge
But bodily slavery has ceased to exist.
And the custom of torturing witnesses to make
them confess to crimes of others, when they
were not accused of any crime, has also disap-
peared The brutal laws that took the children
from the mother, giving them always to the
changed; as has the old English law that per
mitted husband to beat his wife, but with
stick thicker than his thumb"
Conscience, with appraised hand, barring the
road to evil has made these changes.
And Conscience can bring to the human race
the other and the greater changes that are neces-
sary: The end of selfishness which greedily takes
too much while so many have too little.
What could be more amazingly mysterious and
