good looks, personality and
clothes-sense always come first,
while companionability and 10y
atty are seldom even mentioned.
Yet, you can be just as bitterly
miserable with a hundred thou
sand a year to scrap over as with
$40 a week. But you can't be
happy for a moment with a man
or woman who is not on the
level with you.
Money and good looks and
charm may make an attractive
lover; but in the ensemble of an
ideal husband, they cut very little
ice. Too much money and too
much pulChritude are far more
likely to lead to Reno than to hap

the wedding you scarcely notice
the wave of a mans hair OF

An Educator Retires
WI ASHINGTON recently has suffered the loss Of

" "ASHINGTON recently has suffered the loss Of
w many important officials of the public school
system through the operation of the retirement system
One of the most valuable of these educators to leave
the system Mr. Selden NJ Ely who retired the first
of the month after service of forty-five years
AS supervising principal of the fifth division for
many years Mr. Ely of the small group to which
much of the credit for the high standards of this cys
schools must be given.
By his indefagabe and intelligent service he played
prominent part in the development of the school sys
tenn and he retired with the respect and affection of his
associates in the public schools.
Although Mr. Ely has left active service in the schools,
it is to be hoped that he will for many years continue
the active part which he has played in local civic affairs
It was both educator and a citizen that Mr. Ely
took the lead in developing the schooboy safety patrol
which has proved such important factor in cutting
the number of children killed and injured in automobile
accidents
As member and official of citizens association
Mr.. Ely has participated for many years in worthwhile
movements for the Improvement of the community.
We hope he will continue that active interest

planned they were in danger of
being brushed off their wagons by
it, so the lynching limb passes
and, with it, dime-novel saga of
the Wild West.
So far, most of the gaudy out
laws of the Chisholm Trail were
just stupid mugs, too mean and
too lazy to make an honest living,
but somehow conjured into Robin
Hoods a generation after they
were hanged, shot dead or died in
jail. Books were written about
them, legends grow and somehow
they are built up as bold, chivalrouS

TYPICAL SONG
The Jesse James song, which
you may find in any anthology Of
Western song, is typical:
"Jesse James was a lad who
killed many a man;
He robbed the Glendale train.
He stole from the rich and gave
to the poor,
He'd a hand and a heart and
a brain.
Poor Jesse had a wife to mourn
for his life,
Three children, they were
brave.
But that dirty little coward that
shot Mr.. Howard,
He laid poor Jesse in his
grave"
For is years the James brothers
had been looting and killing
When Bob Ford, the dirty little
coward" of the above, tipped the
police to Jesse'S hiding place ano
brought about his sudden ano
salutary demise, there was ar
uproar around the country, many
newspapers denouncing Ford'S
treachery. One would have thought
Ford the outlaw and James ar
officer of the law.
You will also find in the COW
boy songbook, ballads about Sam
Bass, the huge, black-beardec
Texas outlaw who led a gang fol
years and was killed in 1879. 1r
my youth I talked to an old-t1mel
who had known Sam Bass before
he turned badman.
"There wasn't much to him
but those fierce black whiSkerS,"
said the OldSter. Zone day
when he didn't have his gun
with him saw a little Irish sec
tion boss lay him out and put
the boots to him. He was a

from the stage in the crowded ball
room. The less fortunate in the
lobby saw very little of them.
But. when Mrs. Roosevelt ar
rived, resplendent in her silver eve
ming gown, she came right in the
front door and paraded through
the crowd in the lobby on the way
to the ballroom. A big hand she
got for it, too.
A flourish and there she was
striding forward, looking more
beautiful than ever before.
Senator Robinson, not so well
known but easily recognized by
friends scattered through the
milling groups, smiled pleasantly
and waved his hand to acknowl-
edgmentS.
Senator Bob Reynolds, squirting
no less than six young ladies, was
so busy greeting friends that he
remained in one spot only long
enough to say hello, and then
moved on to another group. Each
time he was eagerly received and
importuned to stop, but so many
knew him that he was whirled
back and forth as quickly as a top.

IN PROSPECT

A new lineup in the political
strongholds of New York City is
in the air.
According to one group it has
been definitely settled that Tam
many Hall is to name the next
mayor for the city. Right now
the names of the Senators Royal
S. Copeland and Robert F. Wag.
ner are heavy in the air.
The selection of Senator Cope
land has been touted for several
years past but the genial doctor
has expressed himself on several
occasions as perfectly satisfied to
be United States Senator and
there he wants to stay until his
political career is over. The only
other public office he has any
liking for is that of health COM
missioner of the city, where it
seems he was the happiest of all.
Those close to Senator Wagner
can't see him accepting the may
orally. He is too interested in
national problems.
The present Mayor Firoello La
Guardia, it is said, is slated to be
put out of the New York picture
with a nice juicy Federal job
which he rates for his work on
behalf of President Roosevelt.
Another vacancy is promised
soon with the withdrawal of Gov
ernor Herbert H. Lehman, who
had to be drafted to accept the
term which he is now serving.

LEAVES MARK
You glance through the cal
window at an ugly poster. You
hear a vulgar joke. You think
you forget them both. But you
do not forget them. They have
entered into you. They have
done something to you.
What have they done? That
depends on you. They may
through your recoil-have set up
stronger dislike for ugliness
and vulgarity. Or they may
have torn down another bit Of
that invisible barricade against
the powers of darkness"
that barricade which keeps you
from going Jungle.
No one knows this as surely
as those who deal in words
Arthur Brisbane once expressed
this awful power of thought ir
one immortal sentence. He was
advising Mabel Dodge, who was
doing articles for him. Mrs
Dodge had used a certain wore
which had various meanings
one of them of vile significance
It was a familiar word, frequently
The Washington times., 1937-02-02


word was JUST A SOUND. it
was always a living thing, filled
with fearful and everlasting
power, a power which he always
weighed before he released it..
And so he wrote to Mrs. Dodge
"This word is understood by the
crowd in one vile way and repre-
sentS a thought which 1 do not
want to put into the minds of mil
lions of PEOPLE, even for the sake
of the truth"
One simple, two-syllabled word,
lost in a mass of millions more.
Yet this man who dealt in words
ceaseleSsly, and used their tremen-
dous power to shape his world,
feared to use it. For that word
would bring up a picture =. E. a foul
and shameful picture. The pic
ture would only last a second. 1t
would-you or I might have said
brush the mind and be gone. But
Arthur Brisbane knew that it would
not be gone. He knew that it
would have left its certain, defil-
ing mark behind it, never to be
erased.
POWERFUL THINGS
Thoughts are things" They are
the most powerful things which
touch your life . more deStruc'
tive than bombs, more potent than
sunlight. Your fate is not made
for you in Washington, D. Co..
on Wall Street, N. Y. C. Nor does
it depend on your family blood OF
bank roll.
Your fate is made within you
in the secret places of your own
spirit, by the thoughts which enter
your life. And the quality of those
thoughts is entirely up to you.
You do not have to think just
anything" You can control your
own mind as you can control the
door to your home. You can de
liberately shut out cheap, hateful
nasty thoughts. You can, you
should, you must or else!
For-don't fool yourSelf!-nC
thought ever stays hidden! The
beauty you invite will shine for all

in a room lights up the scenery
for you and makes the world go

Is he the man with whom you

Is he the man who gives you the

Is he the man beside whom and

Is he the man to whom you

The man to whom you enjoy talk
