NATIONAL SHRINES
CONTINUE POPULAR

Throngs of visitors at the mon
ument to the Father of His Coun-
try, not only on Washington's
Birthday but throughout the year,
prove that sentiment still reigns
in the American heart. Since this
great obelisk was first opened to
the public in 1888 nearly 100000
patriots have climbed to it's top,
and millions have viewed it from
the ground.
The controversy raging in Wash
ington over the nature of pro-
posed memorial to Thomas Jeffer-
son has it's smaller counterpart
in almost every city and town
that seeks to honor distinguished
residents. Realists write to the
papers protesting against spend
ing the peoples money for use
less" memorials; but the Washing
ton monument and the Lincoln
Memorial close by serenely deny
the contention that museums and
stadiums and colleges and other
"utilitarian" monuments are the
most appropriate reminders of our
great men.

Time-OId Question

The following poem was written
about 400 years before the Chris
tian era, 1900 years ago, by Aris-
typhanes, famous Greek dramatist
Ind is part of the Chorus of
Women in Aristophanes drama,
'Thesmophoriazusaev::
They're always abusing the women
AS terrible plague to men;
They say we're not the root of all
evil,
And repeat it again and again
~ war, and quarrels and blood
shed,
All mischief, be what it may
And pray, then, why do you marry
us,
If we're all the plaques that you
say?
And why do you take such care
of us,
And keep us so safe at home,
And are never easy a moment,
If ever we chance to roam?
When you ought to be thanking
Heaven
That your plague is out of the way
You all keep fussing and fretting
Where is my Plague today?"
Ii a Plague peeps out Of the win
dow,
Up go the eyes of men;
If she hides, then they all keep
staring,
Until she looks out again.

She heard lazy talk and laughter at the
Dig fireplace where little hirtations were
developing.

And how grand Reed was. Tall. slim,

Nan, slipping her tea, was saved

They lounged around the big hearth,
the voice of the fire mingling with the
voice Of the wind. Soft lanlplight,
glowing freight, while outside the
storm gods rode their steeds Of sleet
and wind.
After a time the dressing gong sent
It's musical notes through the big room,
and one by one they rose and drifted
upstairs. Bess slipped her arm through
Mans.
You're fun, Sally she said TIN
SO glad you came We're going to have
a good time. I love a blizzard don't
you? And this was so unexpected"
Il like blizzards, too Nan laughed
When I'm inside looking out. And /

She wriggled a finger at him, dimples
flying, eyes brilliant; then followed the
maid, who had preceded her.
'tTf youn give me your keys. Miss, Tli

Nan opened her handbag, took out d
