Memorial Honors Pope
Instead of Jefferson

AZ 'ht EoIlor OF 1 ne star:
A commission headed by Represent
alive John j. Boylan of New York has
chosen the design of Architect John
Russell Pope OF New York for the pro-
posed Thomas Jefferson Memorial.
President Roosevelt has approved the
design of this memorial, which would be
erected in Washington at the cost of
s3,o00o00
When I read the headlines stating
that the President had approved the
plans for huge temple of marble, with
no unitarian purpose whatever and
containing an heroic statue of Thomas
Jefferson with his back to Virginia, a
wave almost like nausea swept over me.
The idea of pile Of cold marble stand
ing in the middle of the Tidal Basin as
a memorial to Thomas Jefferson is alb
horent. There is to my mind no angle
OF approach which can justify the spend
Ing of 100000 (and in view of the
recent drilling operations it will be twice
that amount before completely for such
structure. 1t will be memorial rather
to its architect than to Thomas Jeffer-
son. am not opposed to memorial to
Jefferson. I am opposed however to a
memorial so out of keeping with the
SAldA dStCl VI Glle Lldll. HOW lnuCn more
fitting it would be if his own idea, pro-
posed IN his sixth annual message, of
national university be used as a
memorial. How much more in keeping
with the character of the man would be
an institution OF higher learning with all
the educational resources of the Fed
eral Government at its command And
when it is remembered that the private
hhra Nf TThnr,oc IoF
nucleus of the Library of Congress it is
apparent how that institution would
find its place as an integral part of such
a national university
The proposed memorial admittedly
carries out the plan OF LEnfant. 1t is a
beautiful design and Jefferson loved
architectural beauty, but it's non-utili-
tartan character brands it utterly foreign
to the man 1t is to memorabilia, and
therefore in poor taste as a memorial.
In this connection let me quote Jeffer-
son on the occasion of the starting of
work on the Virginia State Capitol be-
fore his design for the building had
been received. Some work had been
done, but he said, THE loss will be only
of the laying of the bricks already laid
This loss is not to be weighed
against !" the comfort of laying out
the public money in something honor
able, the satisfaction of seeing an object
and proof of national good TASTE and
the regret and modification of erecting
a monument of our barbarism"
These are my sentiments. I am merely
one who knows Jefferson as Author of
the Declaration of Independence, of the
statute of Virginia for religious freedom
and father of the University of Virginia"
If you concur in these sentiments you
will do everything possible to bring about
change in the present plans

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
CyclOnic King.

The rufnan Wind King from his Northern
lair
Sweeps all before him; foliage sere
and brown
Scattered like chat upon the frosty air
That wells the heavens with a surly
frown,
Vanquishing all the colors of shutdown.
And as the night falls thru the dark
he howls,
Rivaling some wild beast free of a
chain,
Tearing thru all impeachment with angry
growls,
Challenging great tree-sentinels-in
vain
Opposing with nude boughs his hurri-
cane.
A mighty force, the Wind King. Who
may dare
To face the whistling onslaught from
his lair?

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARAES E. TRACEWELL.

way must deprive one of a great deal Of
satisfaction in life. One Of liie's great
est pleasures, for many OF us, is to
recognize what we already know, to hear
old songs, not just because they are old,
but mainly because they have more
melodic invention-more brains, in other
words-in them.
Let us drop hot potatoes long enough
to say word Of praise for the fox-trot
numbers Of only 10 years ago.
What good tunes, what nice playing!
Our favorite photograph relaxation
is to alternate symphony recordings
with the discs Of some Of the old time
jazz bands, as they liked to call them
selves.
One does not suffer at all from the
other. No person really admires the
greatest music who Is not able to find
good in the wholesome and often master
ly arrangements Of some Of the better
OF the dance orchestras.
But when the melody is not in the
numbers played by the orchestras. there
is not much left except rhythms. II
these are enough for you, We have no
quarrel. A good tom-tom, of course,
would do as well. There must be some
real intelligence used in the construc-
ton OF the melodies, before the number
really becomes good"
1t must be a great deal of fun to be
composer. The old masters, particu-
larly those of Germany, wrote many
light numbers, in which they plainly
displayed the fun" Of composition, just
a little bit better than our solemn writer's,
such as Stephen Foster, for instance.
Even his "Oh, Susannah," had q lugu-
brious note to it and we do not refer at
all to recent use Of it. With such q
theme song" no other result was to be
expected!
No, those old masters put real fun
into many Of their numbers. Schumann's
"Frolicking Landsman," usually trans
lated The jolly Peasant" is bit in a
fine wholesome spirit of musical hap
piness. Papa Haydn gave us his TOY
Symphony" just pure clean fun" Many
of Mozarts operate numbers, especial
ly from the Magic Flute" are as happy
as sunshine.
But to get back to those hot potatoes.
Remove the skin, carefully, so as not to
get burned, rake out the contents, and
break up carefully with fork.
Old directions, but good. And then
put plenty OF good butter on. Good but
ter is necessary. Nothing, except toast
shows up medium or poor butter so
quickly.
And just little salt.
There is no need to dcuse potatoes
with salt.
In fact, something Of their true flour
Is lost, II one is incorporate with salt
A little salt, but not too much, and
out comes the flavor. Most butter, Of
course, contains a bit Of salt. Never
forget that.
And there are natural salts" in the
mealy potatoes-these are the ones
which do the work, when 1t comes to
colds-which must be given a chance.
These salts are the real potato taste"
after all, and they must be permitted to
do their stuff" in big way
Not too much butter, not too much
salt, but mostly baked potatoes
And there is dish At for the gods.
There are, Of course, other ways, many
ways, to cook potatoes, and to serve
them, but baked is best,
In the fairy tales the charcoal burner
baked them on his live Goals, but we of
today use gas or electric ovens. How
ever you bake 'em, they are swell.

The loWly potato is being pushed
these days as good food to help combat
the common "cold," owing to it's aka
line reaction in the digestive processes.
This will come as good news to per-
sons who prefer this tuber above all
other vegetables. The reference, of
course, is to the so-called Irish, or white.
potato.
Who doesn't like potatoes?
To date we have never met a person
who refused to eat them.
Many turn the cold shoulder on the
onion. Countless persons shrink from
spinach. CaulifloWer and even turnips
leave many speeches..
Idiosyncracies In regard TO vegetables
are widespread
Eat your food and say no more
about it." never applied to the we'll
known vegetables. For many years they
were regarded SO generally as mere
asides,, in the face of the more sub
stantial dishes, that no one bothered to
check up.
Then came the day OF the "vege-
tarians,' followed in the course OF time
by experiments to show that II these
foods were supplemented with milk,
especially, and some carbohydrates, they
would furnish perfectly adequate diet.
In these theories the humble white
| potato was sort Of stepchild. No one
seemed to know exactly where to put it,
| in the tables, although most persons
found no difficulty at al in placing it on
| their own tables.
Now we are told, and no doubt with
| Justification that potatoes are good
| things to eat to help ward of colds. 1t
| must be kept in mind Of course, that
| they are a carbohydrate food and If
| eaten regularly should not be supple
! mented by too much breadStuffS
Just what l thought all along" many
will say.
Why have been eating potatoes all
my life" say others.
1t would be interesting for habitual
| potato eaters and non-eaters to check
| up on themselves, and see i, in their
| opinions, such eating or non-eating has
| had any possible influence on their sus-
| ceptibillty to the common cold.
Such things are hard to determine,
| 1t must be kept in mind. Dietetic dos
and "donts" are not easily measured in
SO far as results are concerned, owing
| to the plain fact that the human body
| is marvellous mechanism, able to ad-
| just itself over long periods to much
| abuse without showing harm.
That is, we might eat potatoes in large
| platefuls, and still come down with colds,
and this providing the new theory is
true, simply because we mixed with them
other foods which might tend to have
the opposite effect
We also, alas might get our precious
feet wet, or dry off in chill wind after
getting into a Slight perspiration
There are any number OF things which
may result in a cold, to say nothing at
all Of that largest of all the big bad
wolves" the virus which some hold to be
the primary cause.
Probably the best form in which to eat
the white potato is baked.
When this operation is done properly
and the delicious flaky substance turned
out on plate, it forms one Of the most
appetizing of all dishes.
AS many persons have known for many
years, OF course, but we hope and feel
sure that none Of the readers here will
be that lamentably sophisticated person
who resents being told what he already
knows, or thinks he knows. To be that

Spring Fashions.

Spring Fashions.
AS Spring comes smiling in her glee,
We ask, What will the fashions be?"
Again we undertake to guess
If garments will be more or less,
And whether eyes will be impaired
BY dazzling sights at which they've
stared.
And as great changes are in store,
We think of one thing more and more.
All, Gentle Spring, we ask Of thee,
what will the Parking Fashions be?
will we continue in the use
OF angles, like some wits, obtuse?
Will we the scenery disturb
BY lining up along the curb,
TIL one who scans the distance thinks
OF freight trains or of sausage links?
Will we be placid for an hour,
Or fit, like bees, from flow'r to fowr?
Above all else, we wait to see
What will the Parking Fashions be?"

Who had no peer in earthly glory.
AL, Herb and ALI he licked with ease;
He whipped the Congress to Its knees.

Bidding the forty-eight States to bend
Their sovereign wills to serve his end,
He took in too much territory.
