But why come to Washington
to put their purpose across.
I can't believe that the sight
Of a few thousands gathered
here from all parts of the coun-
try will have much influence on
how a Congressman will vote.
I gather that these new march
ers (heaven forbid that this
should ever develop into another
bonus march') are financially
able to buy their own food if
their stay here is not prolonged.
But, on the very face, Of
things-they're all out of jobs

it would look from the outside

If these marchers are the
dupes Of clever manipulators
who have other irons in the fire
and are simply taking advantage
of the misfortunes of otherwise

it would seem that something

Bx HELEN ROWLAND

BY HELEN ROWLAND
Man is really, at heart, a do
nestle animal-even though he
likes to think of himself as
wild" and untrammeled.
Lots Of men like to fuss
around a kitchen, when nobody
is looking, and concoct original
and glamorouS dishes. And
when a man IS a good cook, he
is a better cook than most
women.
Still, I do not agree with DR..
Robert Hoppock, who told all
these business and professional
women at Atlantic City that
their husbands ought to stay at
home and do the housework.
That would put too many wom-
en- in the sanitarium!
When q man comes In the
kitchen door and begins giving
advice" the average woman
wants to fly out of the window.
And when he gets through mix
ing a salad or broihng a steak.
it takes a battalion Of servants
to clean up after him.
But the Tired BusineSS-W Woman
Of today is looking for a new
type of husband. She is begin
ming to demand cooperation.
She is not looking for the
sort of helpmate who has to be
"babied" and waited on; but for
a tn oroughly domesticated
house-huSband with a Boy
Scout training and a desire to
be as sporting" about helping
around the house as she is about
holding down a job and helping
to bring home the bacon.
To a modern girl there is
nothing sissy" about a man
who can make the coffee and
turn the toast while she fixes
the grapefruit and scrambles the
eggs.
Or about a husband who can
find his own clean shirt, match
up his socks, count his own
laundry and powder his wife's
back. That is merely being q
$3.50 husband.

The Road Back

VIZ ASHINGTON is asking its Board of ndeter-
w inmate Sentence and Parole, commonly known
as the parole board to do difficult and delicate piece
of work under utterly impossible conditions
Just how impossible the conditions is made abun-
dainty clear the annual report of the board recently
g submitted to the District Commissioners.
The whole trick of the modern
system of parole lies in supervising
""'''' "O0' those who have been paroled from
prisons, keeping an eye their methods of living,
seeing that they have jobs and giving them friendly
counsel which will keep them out of trouble while
rehabilitating them.
During the last year the board had three hundred
2, and sxty-eight under such supervision.
To perform the supervisory task the board has
actly two field officers.
But that isn't the whole story. The board is also
i expected to keep under its supervision who
T. Eo tho p.oto.t;o, ''condtonaly released" There
& 49,. were six hundred and fifty-nine
! W '''0 ""'' of them during the year.
The two field officers had to keep eye on them too
It no wonder that the board declares in it's report
that the inadequacy of staff creates serious sit
uation and that demands correction IN THE IN
: TEREST OF ASSURING ADEQUATE PROTECTION
; TO THE PUBLIC
Alarm becomes general when man on parole COM
mits a crime. The tendency is Immediately to blame
the board which released him.
But these in prisons entitled to chance to
enjoy the benefits of the parole system established by
law. They entitled to opportunity to show I'M
der reasonable supervision that they make good
F. in society.
That they do make good in the vast majority of cases
is evident from the figures not only of parole
nIo.t - rL board but likewise from the figures
80 of the Federal board and State
"A0 """ boards.
The point is however, that the local parole board is
expected to set three four hundred back the
road to decent living every year and that is deprived
of the help necessary to the performance of this job
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-08-21

But we need more indoor pools.
The indoor facilities are very
limited. particularly for mixed
bathing. There should be more
facilities for children to learn
to swim. The only school pool
is located at Central High and
there should be more. I think

why? So they can get killed and
we get embroiled in another
war?
I understood that we were
embarked on ajprugram of neu-
trality and peace. Then why
do we send Marines to China2
If China and Japan want to
fight, its just too bad for them.
But why should we be mixed
in? Let the Americans in China
come home where they belong,
or let them stay there and run
the risks if they want. But it
is wrong for us to send troops,
endangering their lives, and
running the risk of mixing us in
the Oriental war.
The Maine was sunk in
Havana harbor, and the United
States went to war with Spain.
Suppose one Of our ships now
is sunk in Chinese waters. Then
do we have to go to war again?

Into some great room,
Dark and cool and still,
Suddenly you are
In among the pines,
In the tall, blue, spacious
Silence Of the pines.
File upon file,
The pines rise through the
silence.
Silence like water.
Barking and COOL
File upon file,
The pines rest in the silence.
Like swimmers that drift
On a dim midnight pool.
Gray, furrowed trunks
The gum drips in bubbles,
Bright as wet amber
Where light falls aslant,
Straight, furrowed trunks,
The base drowned in shadow,
Their heads lost in pillows,
OF peacock green smoke,
Framed in the smoke,
Plaques of sky,
Blue as turquoise.
Down through the darkness
The sun casts it's shuttle,
Weaving gold strands
Through the indigo gloom,
Splitting bright patches
Upon the bronze carpet,
Bright, rose-gold patches
On carpets of needles,
Needles smooth silent
AS slivers of light.
Underneath-dust,
Years Of life, ground to powder,
Still holding the magic
OF all those lost springs,
Fragrance Of violet,
Flavor of acorn.
Honey and pollen
And briar rose sweet;
Veil from a mushroom
And speckled owl feather,
And egg and bat bone
And scorpion meat;
Underneath, dust,
The woods deepest magic,
Now piled in gray hush
For your hot, tired feet.
The sounds die away,
All the thought sounds,
The fear sounds,
Alone with the great pines
You rest and grow still.
One hour-a cone falls
With soft, lazy clatter;
Two hours-a rabbit
LopeS down the long trail;
Three hourS-above you
The sky plaques are darkening.
The glittering turquoise
Has deepened to mauve.
And now breeze stirs,
Like the breath Of one waking,
AS though earth itself
Walked and stretched in the
cool;
AS ghoStly as twilight
A pale deer comes slipping.
Pressed close to her flank
There's a slim, dappled fawn.
From far off a bird calls,
The night thrush is singing;
Still farther, a star blooms,
Like one small, white flower.
Tho dark tide is rising,
The tree forms dissolying.
The long day is ending.
Rest, dear, it is night.
