~ JAMES PREsToN

Some day or other. Washington is
going to win itself the name: THE
City of Paradoxes." 1t has more
cases per square inch of the left
hand not knowing what the right is
doing than any three other cities in
| the world.
Congressional chiefs are worried
about il. In private, they say the
legislators are making a habit of
voting for things demanded by or
ganized groups regardless of the re-
suits Take, for example. the Presi-
dents recent remarks about prices
rising too fast Congress had a lot
to do with that by levying taxes on
corporation income and payrolls. But
in less than a week after the Presi-
dents warning. Congress finally
passed the Guffey Coal Control Act.
The basic purpose behind that is to
raise coal prices.
AS another example, look at the
budget. It was drafted without in
cluding funds for tenant farmers or
new housing or federal aid to state
schools, Congress applauded at
tempts to balance the budget. Yet
the farm tenant, housing and school
aid bills. costing a billion dollars
each. are on the threshold of enact
ment.
Chairman Doughton of the House
Ways and Means Committee is no
slouch at this business of letting his
hands do different things. Last fall.
he issued a statement in which he
said there would be mo new taxes"
this session. He even told a high
Treasury official recently that if
there was a bill this session to levy
new taxes, he wouldn't introduce it,
His idea is that the way to balance
the budget is let the federal income
lures. But now he comes along and
introduces a bill that will cut by
s100. 900 the amount the govern
ment expected to collect under the
railroad retirement act.
Unemployment and its constant
companion for the last few years
unemployment offers another of
these cleaning paradoxes. Billions
of dollars are being spent upon relief
OF the unemployed. But who are the |
How many Of them are |
there? Are they on farms. in white |
collar" fields, in professions, un-
skilled labor in factory? No one has
the slightest idea but expenditures
go forward for maintaining this un-
known army. The Department of
Labor makes its guess. The Ameri
can Federation of Labor presents its
statistics. So does the National In
1ustrial Conference Board. and 9TH
ers. Senator Vandenberg of Michi-
gan says all are wrong and that the
total is far less than supposed. and
he presents an estimate that the La
Dor Departments estimate has con-
been 100000 too high:
hat there are less than 100000 un-
employe.
The only answer is to take a CEN
'us of the unemployed, find out what
he problem is and then proceed to
reat it scientifically.

Only Eour Lettermen Re- main on This Years

 Coach Hautala makes no pre- dictions about the coming season when the high school squad will match its strength with teams of the City League.
 We will be in there fighting hard and playing our best" he affirmed

Vancouver Girl
Wins Recognition

From Vancouver, B. c., comes
the news that Barbara Howard has
been selected to represent Can
ada at the British Empire Games
which are being held in Sydney,
Australia from Feb. 9TH to Feb.
18th, 1898.
It was only last year that Bar
bara Howard first won herself
notice when she entered the sprints
at the annual Inter-High School
sports. During the summer she
entered open competition, making
a sensational burst into the fore
ground in the Olympic trials as
the best track prospect of the
year. Such phenomenal success
rocketed her into the popularity
of the public and she was readily
soubriqueted as Vancouver's fe-
minnie Jesse Owens.
This past summer Barbara was
again the highlight of the High
School meet. flashing with ease to
the girls championship and at the
same time writing her name twice
in the record books. At the end of
a particularly successful season
she won her trip to Australia by
making a brilliant win" at the
Empire trials at a speed that broke
the British Empire record.
This viii be Barbara's first long
trip. Although only 5 #. IL in.
school girl of IT years she is look
ing forward to bringing honors to
Canada when she completes with
nationwide athletes in Australia.
Watch for Miss Howard at the
British Empire Games and then
look for her again at the 1910
Olympics.

Gifted Artist Is
Former Seattleite
Bv A. u. q.

BY A -. n.
Word has been received by re-
latives here of another outstand-
ing achievement of John Payne,
former Seattle resident and cele-
brated baritone, who appeared in
a private recital in London last
month.
The artist is well known in the
United States where he and his
famous quartet won wide acclaim.
The quartet went to England in
1919 where they accompanied the
orchestra conducted by VIII Mar
ion Cook, AID performed for six
months at the Philharmonic Hall,
London. In that same year Mr..
Payne had the honor of being COM
manded to appear before his late
Majesty King George V and Queen
Mary, with his quartet. The sing
er has made London his home ev-
er since that time.
His more recent accomplish
ments have been the training of
the choir which supported Paul
Robson in the production of
"Showboat" which was rated as
one of the finest examples of Choir
al singing in tire history of the
light opera stage.
Those who nave seen Paul Robe
sons films, Sanders of the Riv-
err and King Solomon's Mines, !"
win be interested to learn that it
was Mr.. Payne's choir which syn
chronised in these pictures. Mr..
Payne himself takes prominent
part in two other English produce
tons, "sinbad the Sailor" and "Jer-
icho." his choir again singing with
him. It was his choir which, in
4.Sandsrs of the River" won the
fap1ous Venice medal for best cho-
raj singing of the year.
Mr.. Payne is the brother of Mrs.
Anne Gardner, and the uncle of
Mrs. Bernice Anderson Clark, both
of this city.

Mr.. Johnson, a well-known fig
ure in American life as composer

the history of Negro music from
the first African drum beat in A
merica through TIE Spiritual, the
Jubilee, and the Jazz period, to the
present day blues not through
mere narrative, but through 81 re-
productions of the music itself,
combing thus il one book, the his
tory and the songs.
Surprisingly Ito us at least) he
attributes such well-knovm songs
as Darling Nellie Gray Listen
to the Mocking Bird" and I'm the
Evening by the Moonlight" to Ne

Several of the dearly loved songs
of the American Negro such as
Lii Gal" "King Jesus is a Listen

Mr.. Johnson is himself the auth
or of a few of the songs, and ar
