Col. Suterberry rushed up and poked
q piece OF paper beneath the nose Of
his old friend. Templeton Jones.
Here" he said, "is something for you.
I found 1t in clearing out my desk"
1.-THE annual task" grunted Jones,
accepting the paper.
1T will do you good" said suter-
berry.
Templeton Jones pocketed the clip
ping, dated April. 1895.
When he got to his ofdce he took 1t
out and read as follows:
Henry Clay, which ran between New
York and Albany, when on her down
trip and Just opposite the beautiful
village Of Yonkers, was found to be on
fire.
1.-THE steamer was Immediately headed
for the shore, but Notwithstanding the
nearneSs to the land and the heroic
efforts made to rescue the passengers,
many lives were lost.
Among the victims was Stephen
Allen, esq, an aged man Of the purest
character, formerly a Mayor of New
York, beloved and esteemed by all who
knew him. In his pocketbook was found
a printed slip. of which the following is
a copy. If our young men, and old ones,
too, would practice these precepts, the
virtue, patriotism and prosperity Of the
Nation would be vastly improved"
The precepts were as follows:
Never speak evil Of any one. Be Just
before you are generous.
Keep yourself innocent II you would
be happy.
save when you are young to spend
when you are old.
Earn money before you spend 1t.
Never run into debt unless you see .
way to get out again.
Never borrow, If you can possibly
avoid 1t.
DO not marry until you are able to
support a wife.
"If one speaks evil Of you. live 50
that none will believe him.
Drink no kind Of intoxicating liquors.
Ever live (misfortunes excepted
within your income.
When you retire think over what
you have done during the day.
Make no haste to be rich II you
would prosper.

potency with tranquility of mind"
~ " Il
Jones smiled at the sweetness and
light" of these good old-fashioned
maxims.
Surely. he though to himself, If more
people lived, or attempted to live, by
them today, there would be less unhappi-
ness.
He stopped to consider one which
made an especial appeal to him.
II one speaks evil Of you. live 50
that none will believe him."
There is no man living. Jones thought.
no matter how good life he lives, who
is not subjected to the evil words Of
others.
A man might be saint on earth and
still thousands would not recognize him.
In fact. his very saintliness would
turn many against him, not all Of them
sinners" in the old sense by any means.
The sad truth is that a great deal Of

is required for the proper performance
Of such labor. Hence the demand for
q prompt beginning. Mr.. Roosevelt
should be granted the pleasure Of dedi-
eating the building before his second
term expires.
Also, it happens that the auditorium
facilities might be used by several ma
tional organizations which now are con-
sidering places for convention meetings
in 1889 and 1910. For example, the Tri-
ennial Convention of the Episcopal
Church will assemble this year in Gin
cinnati. One of the details of business
which will come before it is that of Sc
lecting the city in which 1t next will
gather. Shall it be Washington? The
logical answer is: Yes, II the Federal
auditorium will be available. It GER
tainly may be: No. If adequate accom-
modations are lacking.
Literally scores Of great congrega-
tions Of the people have been lost to
Washington in the past. When the
auditorium has been completed it can
be anticipated that a Eucharistic Con-
gress like that which soon will assemble
at Manila will be held here. The Amer
ican Legion, the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, many
other religious. patriotic. cultural and
fraternal bodies could be invited. And
the advantage is obvious. The Capital
is the Nations center. It's status in
that regard will be convincingly defined
by adding to its present equipment a
hall capacious enough to permit large
meetings of its citizens.

Features Missing From
The Inaugural Parade

To the Editor Of The Star:
After reading the letter Of B. A. Ed
wards regarding his disappointment be-
cause Of certain omissions in the in
augural parade cannot help but re-
mind you that he failed to list them all.
Conspicuous by their absence were the
following:
The veterans Of the bonus battle Of
Washington, or their widows and chill
dren.
The pot minus the two chickens.
The corner prosperity hid behind so
long.
The grass growing on the streets.

empire, is denied the hospitality Of the
American money market by the john
son act embargo against nations In de-
fault. The Louisianan has asked the
State Department and the Securities
and Exchange Commission to define the
practical limitations Of the law. Mean
time, he's considering . bill to forbid q
defaulting country or any of its de-
Tendencies from raising money here ex-
cept to reflnance bonds owned by Ameri-
can citizens prior to passage Of the
johnson act in 1884. A current $685.
100000 Canadian issue is intended to re-
finance an old loan. The Dominion gov
ernment owes nothing to Uncle Sam and
no private Canadian bonds are in de-
fault. Attorney General Cummings held
three years ago that the johnson law
does not apply to Canada-a view in
which the State Department concurred.
Should President Roosevelt offer the
Department of Public Welfare cabinet
post to John G. Winant, chairman of
the Social Security Board-a common
prognostication-the former Governor of
New Hampshire would be the third man
officially rated as q Republican to be
invited into the New Deal cabinet. Up
to the time Of their appointments In
1888, both Secretaries Ickes and Wallace
were looked upon as Republicans, though
Of the progressive breed. Stalwart Dem
ocrats are not likely to throw up their
hats over the inclusion Of yet another
Republican, even one Of Gov. Winant'S
liberal hue, In the White House charmed
circle. Practical politicians on the other
hand point out that as Mr.. Roosevelt
was elected President twice with the
acknowledged aid Of millions Of Repub-
ucan votes, it's only fair play, besides
good politics, to give the G. o. P.
semblance Of cabinet recognition. It
may be the Presidents way Of giving the
country bipartisan government.
Americas representation at the coro-
nation Of King George vi will have q
strong World War smack. It will be
headed by James w. Gerard, President
Wilson's envoy to Germany, with the
rank Of special Ambassador, while his
associates GVill be Gen. John J. Pershing,
commander in chief of the American
Expeditionary Forces, and Admiral Hugh
Rodman, who commands the United
States Battleship Force which served
with the British grand feet in the Eu-
ropean war zone.

are going forward to tear down the Su-

Beyond Science.
Let me observe the universe,
Friend Scientist. with you
And try. for better or for worse.
To study 1t anew.
And though great mysteries unfold
As wonder-stories new are told
I value still the simple truth
That you impaired In my youth.
I know the stars will shine on high
Each in the 'customed time and place.

With beauties new each year will grace.
And as I gaze with reverent care
On marvels as they shine up there.
The greatest joys, I frankly own,
Are things that I have always known.

Life Goes on.

Life Goes on.
On o iong-gone day, divinely fair,
I sat under full-leafed trees
And watched you come, the sun on your

Your step as light as the breeze
That over the sward blew sweet, warm
air;
And the whole world seemed at ease.
Now trees stand gaunt and skeleton-bare,
Framed by q barren blue sky;
On the sward below, In lace-work rare.
The cold sunset shadows lie;
While clustering winds from the river
tear
And the Winter day soss 10 <'>

 What hostess wants to take a chance on a girl who doesn't know layer cake should be eaten with a fork-even at simple buffet parties? If you invited her to dinner she'd probably drink her soup from the tip instead of from the side of her spoon. She'd put the salt for her celery on the table-cloth instead of on her plate.
 As for tricky foods! Dot would never know that you eat artichokes . by pulling off leaf at time. And canapes would bewilder her!

Until you get coat of tan, eve- ming makeup for summer dinners and dances ought to be as delicate and fresh looking as your frothy gowns and filmy wraps. Besides, since the majority of evening parties will start before it is dark or even darkish, real evening makeup will be out of order until dinner is well under way.
 Better start out with a care fully applied, medium amount of rouge, just suggestion of mas cara, smooth layer of powder and the right quantity of lipstick Be sure your purse contains dry rouge which matches exactly the cream variety on your cheeks, powder and mascara.
 When dinner is over and dark ness has fallen, smooth on more rouge, repowder and apply a fresh layer of lipstick. No need to remind the truly fastidious that these neat little jobs should be done in the dressing room not at the table or on the side walk.
 If you want your hair to stay in place and look neat and tidy after drive to country club or roadhouse, invest in chiffon bandanna or a wispy lace scarf tc to tied around your head, peas ant fashion. Lay aside all pre- tentious hair jewels or elaborate feather and flower ornaments un-

Paris Sty,ss
By MARY FENTRESS

(united Press Statf correspondent
 Paris (UP) = Among the ne clothes ordered by Mrs. Wallis Wal field from Schiaparelli are four en' sembles in carbon blue. This color a shade or two lighter than roya blue-probably will prove to be tn most popular color for spring an summer.
 Mrs. Warfield ran true to forli and selected simple, tailored clotha that suit her rather severe style q hair dressing. Only in evening cloth es does she show flare for exoti' and unusual costumes. She wear carbon blue tweed redingotI which fastens with composition but terflies instead of buttons and whicl matches two of her tailored crepl day dresses. One of these is a plais material of carbon blue, black am white while the other is of plan carbon blue crepe, made on Slmpi! lines with long sleeves and nlgl neck. For dinner wear she selected on' of the most popular creations in thl collection. It is a gown of carbon blue silk jersey made on straigh simple lines which cling to the figI ure. T he dress has an accompany ing packet of carbon blue silk Jerl sey that has wide revers trimmed with white leather scrolls appile' in a baroque design.
 The greater part of Mrs. War fields selections were n black. Ther| were two afternoon dresses in black one in crepe, the other in ribbe, silk. Two black dinner gowns arI in her new wardrobe trimmel with composition flowers at the higl neck and the other with printel colored butterflies on the skirt.
 Her most unusual gown is thI Schiaparelli creation of white nous seline with a red lobster on the fu skirt.

Femininity is the keynote of prac- tically all party frocks for the very young. Daughter leaves suave, so- phisticated effects to her mother and aunts and dresses herself in clothes to set off her vivacity and youth.
 Young girls like, for example, shadow printed Swiss organdy dance dresses which mold their slim waists and pillow about their trim ankles. With these, they adore pie ture hats, fresh field flower cor- sages, unpretentious, dainty jewelry, gloves of matching organdy and sandals without heels and toes.
 The dresses worn to Class Day exercises are neat, tailored little numbers in washable silks, rough shantungs, linen knits and pebbly looking rayons, suitable also to ca vort in around the country club, the mountain resort or seaside board walk.
 Floating chiffon gowns with little sleeves and modest decolletes, stun ming at the Senior Dance and the commencement assembly dances, can grace important summer balls to follow. Over these go pert little taffeta jackets or casual looking wager jackets of white linen or mite wool flannel. Many gal will

 Incidentally, the beer jacket fad has become craze with the young CT set. Patterned after the beer jackets Princeton seniors have worn for years, these are of canvas, too, cost precious little and lend them selves to the scribbling which youngsters seem to like to do. If you get one fer your daughter you might as well make up your mind that she is going to let her friends write, sketch and paint on it.
