were automatically divided in two.
Friendship" between a man and
a woman is~usually either the be-
ginning of love or its after-glow,
when the romance has gone dead.
When a girl quarrels with the
man-of-the-momens she finds her
self between Scylla and CharybdiS.
She's afraid to bawl him out by
letter, for fear Of saying too much;
and she hates to say it to his face
because he's sure to interrupt her
before she has said enough.
A man who finds himself waver-
ing between two women feels some
thing like a bemazed pedestrian
trying to choose between death
under a northbound trolley and
self destruction under south
bound truck.
Ewes bright, original idea OF
wearing a few clothes for modesty's s
sake is apparently being revived
along with ringlets and petticoatS.

interesting if she doesn't answer

Memory, to a woman, is a
thermoS bottle in which she keeps
all her old romances warm and
sweet; to a man, it is a cold stor-
age vault where all his old loves
are locked away and left to freeze
to death.
One reason why marriages lasted
longer in Grandma others day may
have been because q wife looked
just as pretty after washing her

, appeals to the popular imagina-
ton, and personally they were
less picturesque figures than the
other three"
AS Jefferson Is at long last to
have his memorial in the Federal
City-not far from the Washing
ton Monument and the Lincoln
Memorial-it is hard to believe
that the Government toward which
he contributed so large a part Of
it's foundation and the people he
served with such devotion and dis
tinction will much longer deny to
Madison his due.
The very fact that the jefferson
memorial has finally been deter.
mined upon and will soon be under
construction makes it all the more
appropriate that suitable me-
mortal to Madison should follow.
Theirs was friendship that began
in their youth, strengthened with
the years, and lasted throughout
their earthly pilgrimageS. They
were bound closely by ties Of
mutual respect and affection.
SUITABLE MEMORIAL
In the last Congress, Senator
Byrd of Virginia introduced in
the Senate, and Congressman
Warren of North Carolina In the
House, q joint resolution "tO es-
tabIish the James Madison Me-
mortal Commission to formulate
plans for the construction of a
permanent memorial to the
memory of James Madison"
The proposal came too late in
the session for consideration by
committee. It has yet to be re-
vived in the present Congress.
Now that Congress has called
upon the American people to unite
with their Government in truly
national observance Of the one
hundred and fiftieth anniversary
Of the adoption of the Constitu.
ton, Congress has the opportunity
to lead the way in preparing for
this patriotic celebration.
BY adopting the suggestion Of
Senator Byrd and Congressman
Warren, Congress can end the
neglect which the memory of "the
Father of the Constitution" has
too long suffered in the Federal
City.
Why should James Madison be
the forgotten man among the
Founders and Fathers? .s
If it be true that "those only de-
serve a monument who do not need
one," who have raised themselves
monument in the minds and
memory of men," then, indeed, it
would seem to be high time for
Congress to authorize a suitable
memorial in the Federal City to
Madison and thus ito buried merit

In a recent outburSt the ques-
ton of reciprocal trade agree

A Real Builder Dies

MR.. EDWIN F. HILL was best known to Wash
V1 ingtonans for his activities member Of the
Kiwanis Club-that organization which takes its
motto "We Build.'
To o"Ed'' Hill that motto was more than club slogan.
It personal determination.
He builded strong and lasting friendships
He builded strong bodies and healthy minds in chill
dren who were crippled and diseased.
He buded better and stronger community and civic
spirit
Ed Hill did these things unobtrusivey and without
thought of reward.
He did them not only by his own activities but by
the activities to which he prompted others by his
example
His unexpected death at the age of fftyfive leaves
a void in the city's life.

problem from the very DAY early
in the 18th century that he came
trooping into Europe. The good
burghers found him and his tribe
to be a horde of uncouth and
dirty thieves" and they just came
out of nowhere. The GypsieS
themselves were long on romance
and short on historical facts.
They claimed to be Egyptians, and
soon the chroniclerS were describ-
ing them as the Lost Tribe of
Israel, or descendants of Cain.
Even today there is no definite
proof of who they were or where
they originated, although it is
pretty well established that they
began in India and were probably
a low-caste Hindu people. About
the year 800 A. D. they were
known in Constantinople as the
"touch-me-notS" because they con-
Sidered other people as unclean.
This is another evidence of Hindu
origin.
ADAPTABLE
This race of wandering tribes
just refuses to be absorbed or to be
made to stay put in any one place.
In the United States, in England,
or Austria, or in any other highly
civilized country, the GypSies
maintain their racial marks and
their peculiar language. A pea.
cock of a fellow the Gypsy, in his
language, is a Rom" which means
"a man par ecellence." His wife
is a "Romni," his language do.
mani" and all non-Gypsies are
"Gazi."
He has no religious beliefs, al.
though he will adapt himself to
those Of the country in which he
stays for any length of time. He
is a fatalist, a horse trader, a tin
smith, a musician and usually q
rogue, although not frequently a
vicious one. If he has sinned, he
has been sinned against, too. BY
an edict Of 1725 Gypsies were
hanged on sight in the Prussian
states. In Hungary, in 1882, As
GypSieS were hanged as cannibalS,
whereas it was proved later that
they were guiltless of the charges.
To sum up fairly, it would seem
that Edmund Burke's statement
that you can't indict whole peo-
pie is as true of the Gypsies as of
any other race. There are many
who, having studied him at close
range, testify that he is loyal, gen.
erouS and friendly.

WashingtOn's Future

C6NTEVER in my business experience haze
~ seen ahead of me such a prosperous city
as from the outlook today. Without question,
this is the most outstanding city in the United
States, and probably in the UOOrLd."
This statement from an article by Mr.. Morton J.
Luchs, vice president of the Washington Real Estate
Board in the real estate section of The Washington
Times gives the view of one who has been intimately
connected for many years with that best of baromeer
of city's condition. its real estate market.
There isn't any doubt that Mr.. Luchs' outlook on
the community's future is thoroughly and completely
justified.
We are community of stability, community of
sound values community of hard working substantial
people.
And we have in our community stable and substan
tial industry-the United States Government
That industry is bound to grow and expand
Indications of its growth and expansion already
abound on every hand.
That this growth is taking place not only in the pres
ent but will be continuous long period of years
is the inescapabe conclusion of those who have followed
the trend of the Government recently.
The expansion of the Government must necessarily
mean the growth and development of the National
Capital.
As the Government grows it will naturally require
more employees and the personnel of the Government
expands it will be necessary for the city to develop and
grow in order to accommodate them.
SUCH DEVELOPMENT MEANS NOT ONLY
SOUND REAL ESTATE VALUES.
1T MEANS PROSPEROUS CONDITIONS IN ALL
KINDS OF BUSINESS IN THE CITY; IT MEANS
INCREASING ACTIVITY IN ALL LINES AND 1T
MEANS INCREASING HAPPINESS FOR OUR
GROWING POPULATION.
With these things in mind it is wonder that Mr..
Luchs should conclude his artcle-he first Of series

 Rudolf Friml is working like mad on some new tunes for his "Firehy'' which must be filmed in time for Jeanette Macdonald to get married on June IA.
 A small, effervescent man, Friml beats his piano until he gets a likely melody, then he records 1t with a small machine and bounces over to the office of Musical Director Her. bert Stothat with the disc.
 The other day he hopped over with a record of an idea for a "Horseman's Song" The tune had been giving them trouble and, as the record played, Stothart didn't seem to approve this latest treatment.
 Then, in the middle of 1t, the needle got caught in a groove. "Tee- yah dee-da", went the melody. Then bump, bump, bump, bump" until the nleedle jumped into its course and tune continued.
 Friml leaped up with a grunt of annoyance. Stothart stopped him. That's goodI" he exclaimed Let's use it." It turned out that the faulty record had provided just the twist they wanted in the musical theme.

About year ago, 8 perSonable fat man name6 Romo Vincent went to work in the largest local night spUt, the Biltmore Bowl, as master of ceremonies, vocalist. and imitator. Made such a hit that he was able to stay there six months.
 Everyone agreed that Vincent had assured himself a future in the movies because dozens of producers and talent scouts used to go there to watch him work and they would nod approvingly and make notes on envelopes.
 But when his contract finally lapsed, Vincent found himself still without movie offer. Disappointed but by no means dismayed, he wad- died of to accept 8 fat offer from a Chicago cabaret.
 A few weeks ago a Paramount producer, Theodore Reed, stopped of in Chicago, wandered into the nightery, soon rushed out with 8 wildly enthusiastic wire to his boss about the talents of one Romo Vim cent.
