should just stop proposing mar
rlage to their true loves, that's
all. A male love strike is the only
way to teach women they're too
possessive.
1lka Chase, woman among

radio programs, is all for such a
strike. She should worry. She's
been married 10 years-to William
Murray, handsome advertising ex-

Women are barnacles," Miss
Chase said. "They stick to a man
100 closely. They are leeches, too,
in many cases. They take and take
and never give.
Its devastating the way wom-
en- try to own their men once they
land them,'' she said. There is
not 'grande passion in the world
that can stand the onslaught of
women's possessiveness.
About the love strike-it might
not work, Miss Chase admitted.
That's the trouble with love-"
she said. "A man says darling,
this is the nuts and he's a conner.
He's got ring on her finger and a
ring through his nose in no time.

The forest primeval spread its
green velvet mantle over the un-
charted acres that sprawled from the
banks Of the Anacostia River to the
surrounding hills now occupied by
the Capitol, the Soldiers Home, the
heights of Georgetown, and distant
Arlington. Previous to the coming
of the white man this region was
called Tohoga, the seat of an Indian
Emperor (Sachem). Here dwelt the
Nacostians (Anacostia). Although
for two hundred years lines of sur
vey had marked out large estates,
the landscape was broken only here
and there with evidences of civiliza-
tion. Interestingly enough, one of
these estates was owned by man by
the name of Francis Pope, who, TAX
ing advantage of his name, gave his
estate and the stream that laved it
the pretentious names of Rome"
and "the Tiber."
Upon this scene of rural loveliness
George Washington had fixed his
eye for the seat of government, and
on September day in 1893 he was
attended by procession with fife
and drum through copse and forest
and, using fallen tree for bridge
across "the Tiber," he arrived at the
selected spot where he laid the cor
nerstone for the new Capitol
The year before, in 1892, clearing
had been made in the forest now
known as the grounds of the White
House, where George Washington
after prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Breck-
inridge, a Presbyterian minister, laid
the cornerstone of the executive
mansion. Hard by carpenter shop
was built to provide shelter for the
workmen and their tools. Many of
these workmen were stonemasons
from Edinburgh, Scotland. These
men and their families associated
themselves together on the Sabbath
Day "as their custom was" for prayer
and worship; and anyone with an
years the strains of Scottish Psalm
ody lifted up through the surround
ing trees in praise to God.
Thus 1t is that tradition clear and
undisputed tells how the origin Of
our seat Of Government and the
religious family known as Presby-
terian are inextricably interviewer
with each other. The Congress came
in 1900, and families of the Presby-
terian faith came with thousands Of
others to the Federal city, and for
time worshiped in the carpenter
shop. AS the Executive Mansion ap-
preached completion, the shop was
torn down and the worshipers sought
other shelter for their services, first

Mission to Tubriz

The dispatch of observers from
our Embassy in Teheran to Tabriz,
provincial capital of Azerbaijan, is a
constructive move in a difficult sit
uation. The mission of these ennis
saries is to investigate conditions in
that disputed province and make a
factual report on what they discover.
This action has been taken before
a Russian reply to our note request
ing information from Moscow on the
Azerbaijan issue and suggesting the
evacuation of all foreign troops from
Iran with the new year. Russian
silence made 1t imperative that we
get the facts, and the sending of
American official investigators was
the only way left to get them, since
our Consul at Tabriz has been un-
able to communicate freely with our
Embassy at Teheran across the her
metically sealed Russian zone of oc-
cupation.
There is fiat contradiction be-
tween the allegations of the Iranian
government and Russian official re-
plies to Iranian diplomatic moves.
Teheran charges that the entire
"separatist" movement in Aver
baijan is artificial, fomented by local
agitators and foreigners from the
neighboring Caucasian republics of
the Soviet Union; that these agi-
tators have been at least tacitly
aided by the Russian occupational
authorities; that Iranian troops and
gendarmes sent from the capital to
restore order in Azerbaijan have
been forbidden by the Russian au-
thorities to enter the province, and
that local Iranian officials have been
unable either to function or to COM
municate with the central govern
ment at Teheran.
Moscow has just replied to those
charges with a note categorically
denying them and disclaiming all
responsibility for what is going on.
Meanwhile, the disorders seem to be
spreading from Azerbaijan through
adjacent provinces OF Northern Iran,
and spokesmen for the Iranian gov
ernment express apprehension that
this may portend movement to de-
tach all of Northern Iran from the
control of the central government.

An Amniversary Of Significance
By the Rev Dr. Albert Joseph Mccartney,
Pastor of the Covenant-Fhst Presbyterian Church
1.-THE National Preshuterinn Church,

in what was known as "the F Street
House." on the corner Of Tenth
street. From F street they removed
to Academy East" in the vicinity
Of the Navy Yard, the direction in
which 1t was expected the city
would develop. However, when
the Capitol was so far advanced
as to provide basement room
for the sessions of the Supreme
Court, this worshiping group OBJ
tanned permission to hold their Sab
bath services in that place, where
the Lords Supper was first adminis-,
tered. When later the group became
officially organized, and church
site was selected near Pennsylvania
avenue, south of the Capitol, a new
building was set up which was known
as the Little White Chapel Under
the Hill" In the process of time
the congregation removed to a site
on John Marshall place, where their
house Of worship stood from 1927
until 1t was demolished by the Gov
ernment in very recent years. DR..
Byron Sunderland, who assures us
that he received all these traditions
from those who participated in or
were witnesses of the various oc-
casions referred to, speaking at the
centennial Of the First Presbyterian
Church, declared: THE footstones of
this church have been worn by the
tread Of the great figures in our
history, by the diplomats of many
countries, by statesmen and lawyers,
by Senators and judges, by Presi-
dents and by cabinets, by warriors
and chieftains on land and sea, and
by the American people from every
city and countryside, and by trav-
ellers from foreign lands in every
quarter of the globe. For hundred
years we have been in contact with
the moving masses of humanity in
storm and sunshine, in peace and
war, and who can compute the
emanation of public and private in
fiuence from this watch tower of
Zion, reaching to all classes Of So
ciety, touching all questions Of truth
and justice, Of purity and honor, so
deeply involving the welfare of man
kind, so sternly attesting the supreme
virtue of that old faith which was
once delivered to the saints'?"

'Hiqh' and Low Emotions

DR.. ReXford B. Hersey of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania has been
studying human emotions for seven
teen years and, according to Red
book and the Readers Digest, has
reached some conclusions which
seem to be worthy of serious atten-
ton at the hands of the general
public. with all of u.s." he says,
high and low spirits follow each
other with a regularity almost as
dependable as the tides" The time
span of the cycle thus suggested is
thirty-three days. At the "low point"
good news allegedly will give man
or woman "only a brief boost" in
spirits. Conversely, bad news is less
depressing when person is "in an
emotional high
The opinions of DR.. HerSey are
based on research into the best
working conditions for railroad re-
pair shop workers. He checked
twenty-five individuals four times a
day for more than year, compiled
charts on what they said. how they
acted, their physical condition and
lstate of mind" and was surprised to
find that "all the charts fell into a
fairly regular pattern" Each man
had one week in every period of OBJ
servation much lower than the rest"
One possible explanation of this
phenomenon is glandular in charac-
ter. The glands admittedly are
clocks of sort, they do keep time.
For example, "the thyroid output
ranges from low to high and back
in four or five weeks and largely
determines the total emotional
cycle rhythm"
Now, of course, DR.. Hersey does not
claim to have solved all the multi
tudinous problems Of human be-
havior. All that he argues is that
1--WE, the people" gradually build up
more energy than we can use" and
that makes us feel better and
better, and we become more and
more active and high-spirited" until
1--WE begin to use more energy than
our system is producing" and "this
keeps on until exhaustion of our
surplus energy induces a reaction"
and I'VE slump, often quite sharply,
into feeling tired, depressed, discour-
aged" So, when Nom is "touchy''
or Dad is "grouchy'' or Junior is full
Of the dickens" or Sis is "just spoil
ing for mischief" 1t may be that
they really are only s1ow" or 'high."
