The Stirrup Cup

My short and happy day is done:
The long and lonely night comes
on,
And at my door the pale horse
stands
To carry me to distant lands.
His whinny Shrill, his paving
hoof,
Sound dreadful as a gathering
storm;
And must leave this Sheltering
roof
And joys of life so soft and
warm.
Tender and warm are the joys
Good friends, the faithful and
the true
My rosy children and my wife,
So sweet to kiss, so fair to view
The night comes on. the lights
burn blue;
And at my door the pale horse
stands
To bear me forth to unknown
lands. JOHN HAY

had been absolutely loyal to him

he was Unemployed.
"She had revived his spirit

seem to many almost impossible that
we should ever again want frills snd

place that lends itself most whole

pile becomes the inside and after this
new pile Is well soaked with water, 1t
is left again for four weeks.
Experts watch to see that the moss
does not ferment too fast and injure
or destroy the fiber. When the gray
covering slips from the dark fibrous
inner portions of the moss, the whole
mass Is spread out to dry. Then it is
run through q toothed gin or cylinder.
After this rough treatment, it is again
spread out in thin layer over the
floor and freed from all bark. After
one more handling and inspection, it
is well dried and baled for shipment
Louisiana has more than fifty moss
ginneries and also an annual produc-
ton of Spanish moss estimated to be
valued at $2,5O0,000, and Florida is
second in line of production.
Spanish or Southern moss is used
for stuffing mattresses, for upholster-
ing furniture and filling cushions.
Your automobile may be upholstered
with it; the railway cars in which
you ride and airplanes use up bales
and bales of 1t.
Its special virtue, for these pur-
poses to which it Is put, Is its re-
siliency, which 1t retains for several
years.
Sometimes the best grade of Spanish
moss is colored by immersing it in deep
tanks Of anilin dyes and oil. It Is
very attractive when colored in this
fashion and much in demand.

There are other species that are
found farther South into the Gulf
region through Mexico to Central
America.
Most of us think of the Spanish
moss as being purely decorative or for
packing beautifully colored fruit, to
be sent to our less fortunate friends
in the North, while we bask in the
sunshine of the South.
1t Is among the most tropical look
ing plants you can find. Trailers and
automobiles surely have their share Of
this moss to carry every Spring on
their Northward trek home.
However, the plant really has eco
nomic value, and though it sways so
gracefully in the breeze. it is a fine
hiding place for many outdoor crea-
lures and its gray color most pleas

Self. f.Confidence,

MOST psychological considerations
A'A are estimates. The human mind
Is too complex to reduce to mathe-
matical quantities. Hence estimates,
some close to the facts, others far
from 1t.
It has been estimated that SO per
cent Of the general population suffers
from q feeling Of inferiority, In other
words, a lack Of self-confidence.
Now this lack Of self-confidence
seems to be based on the fact that
these SO per cent, or the majority
Of them. feel that they can do any
thing. That's their downfall. They
imagine the impossible. With so much
genius in this world, the competition
is too sharp to excel in everything.
So when these so per cent. or there
abouts. get jolt they take their failure
to heart and nurse a feeling Of in
feriority. AS a result, Self-confldence
is politely bowed out the back door.

AUDITORIUM
ON D. {. AXIS

East Capitol Street and Ana
costa Park as site for the pro-
posed municipal auditorium and
for the proposed memorial to
Thomas jefferson found another
ally today in Charles w. Eliot I'd,
executive officer of the National
Resources Committee.
Mr.. Eliot, whose committee last
week published comprehensive
recommendations on the con-
servation of water power, hydro
electric developments, flood con.
troll and soil erosion, declared
that it was immaterial whether
the auditorium and memorial were
separate structures so long as they
were located in the East Capitol
Street-AnacoStia Park area.
Pointing out that the distance
from the Capitol to Anacostia
Park is equal to the distance from
the Capitol to the Lincoln Me-
mortal, Eliot said the site would
be ideal for the Jefferson Me-
mortal to balance the city layout.
AS a location for the audi
torium, Eliot said the site was to
be recomn ended because the only
possible direction in which the de-
Velopment of the city can progress
is eastward.
Mr.. Eliot added that t. Iary-
land State Park and t4,---ling
Commission will make public
within a month a report drawn
up in cooperation with the Ma
tional Resources Committee and
the National Capital Parks Office
calling for extensive development
of roads, parks and recreational
areas between Washington, Balti-
more and Annapolis.
Plan Pathways
One feature of the plan, Eliot
explained, would be the construc-
ton of motor parkways between
these cities and the Washington
terminus of these roads would be
in the vicinity of East Capitol st.
and Anacostia Park. With railroad
facilities nearby, these arteries
would be essential in the event that
athletic spectacles, conventions
and civic gatherings are staged as
contemplated.
The Resources Committee Of
ficial would not stop with the con.
struction of an auditorium or me-
mortal in the eastern section of the
city. He said he is desirous of de-
velopment of East Capitol Street
itself. In accord with this idea,
Eliot declared, the name of East
Capitol Street should be changed
to The Avenue of the States"
Each block of THE Avenue of the
States" would be devoted to one
of the 48, he added.
The 13 original colonies would be
represented by blocks surrounding
Lincoln Park, according to the
Eliot plan, and the park itself
would be renamed independence
