Member Drive Launched
By Michigan Park. Group

Lack of attendance at the. regular
monthly meetings prompted the II
persons who attended last nights
meeting of the Michigan Park Cit
izens' Association to launch drive
for new members.
The group voted to send a delega-
ton to the next meeting Of the
Bunker Hill PTA to encourage par
ents to attend the citizens associa-
ton meetings. The distribution OF
posters and circulars also was ap-
proved.
The resolutions presented by the
Federation of Citizens Association
in a recent report on racial segrega-
ton was adopted by the members.
The purchase of ice cream by
weight rather than by the present
method of sale by liquid measure
was favored.
Opposition to any increase in real
estate taxes was voiced. The intro
duction of a sales tax met with ap-
proval, however.
A contribution of $40 was given to
the Metropolitan Police Band and
SIS to the District tuberculosis Asso-
citation.
The meeting, held at Bunker Hill
School, Fourteenth street and Mich
igan avenue NE, was conducted by
J. Millard Hall, president.

to be one of the best for the white
ace. The average winter Gay
temperature is AZ degrees and
night 33 degrees above zero, and
the annual rainfall only III lnches.
Such is the charm of this
favored place, which combines all
old-world charm in the business
area with the most modern homes
in the residential areas, that
travellers who have once come I'M

If SO per cent of them so desired.
May Look to a Leader.
Well, one of these days we may
fall upon desperate times. The
desperation may be due to domestic
causes or it may be due to fear OF
a foreign foe. In such a situation
we will look to a leader to save us.
We are like that. And the leader to
whom we look may be the man
already In the White House. one who
in the course of eight years service
has won our confidence. He may be
q man Of rugged character; he may
be demagogue who has kept us
fooled. In any case he'll be the man
we want.
If a man Of rugged character he
will stand by the Constitution and
deny us our desire. If a demagcgue,
he won't. He will tell himself-and
us-that "the will Of the people Is
law" higher law, indeed, than the
Constitution. He will hang on and
we will have our first American
dictator, the very thing the present
Congress says it is attempting to
prevent. And hole will be left
In the Constitution. big enough for
other future dictators to ride
through
All because we have Congress
that does not trust the people.
This change in the Constitution
has not been demanded by any
: large part Of the people. In that
respect it differs from other pro-
posed amendments that have reach
ed the stage Of favorable action
by Congress. The first 10 amend
ments. comprising what we call the
Bill of Rights, resulted from clear
popular demand. So it was with
the amendments prohibiting slavery
granting the vote to Negroes, max
ing enactment of an income tax
possible, permitting direct election
of Senators, providing for woman
suffrage, abolishing lame duck ses-
sions of Congress. So it was even
with the late and unlamented pro-
hibition amendment and the
amendment repeating same.
Long and Patient Pressure.
Only 81 times has the Constitution
been amended and in nearly every
instance Congress refrained from
taking the first step until compelled
by pressure from the people. Usu-
ally it required long and patient
pressure
Not so this time. Why? 1t is hard
=. to tell: The only plausible explana-
. ton seems to be the hangover of
hatred toward Roosevelt in the
hearts Of the congressional leaders
whom he usually defeated when the
decision was left to the people.
For the full irony of this con-
gressional action. read a couple of
sentences from the speech of Rep
resentatjve Springer Of Indiana,
supporting the amendment:

Some of our country's finest minds
have studied the divorce problem
and offered remedies. The finest
minds don't seem to have improved
matters a great deal, SO, with your
permission, one of the country's
weaker minds-meaning my own
will provide little advice.
I suggest hasty. marriages as a
cure for the divorce problem.
New Solution Offered.
The hastier the better. Marry
after a glance across a room, or
chance meeting on a streetcar, or a
telephone conversation, or after
humping heads while looking for
soap powder in a grocery store.
Yes, know the old axiom, Marry
in haste and repent at leisure"
But is that any worse than marry
ing at leisure and divorcing in a
hurry?
Long courtships give man and a
woman the wrong slant on one an
other. Few, if any, men retain the
courtliness of courtship after mar
riage. 1t is amazing how, after the
vows have been taken. that man
figures any able-bodied woman can
open the car door for herself, or seat
herself at the dining room table
without assistance. Naturally, a
woman rebels against the abandon
ment of all this gracious assistance.
She has had 1t all during her court
ship days, and has come to believe
that her Joe, Jim or Charlie Is a
throwback to the time when knight
hood was in flower, and man
thought nothing of running $75
suit by spreading the coat OF the
suit over a mud puddle so that his
intended would not soil her dainty
slippers.
In long courtship the girl, just
as much as the man, puts her best
foot forward, not her natural foot.
He never sees her unless she Is
dressed to the teeth, shining and
polished, and smelling like fit
gun full of altar of roses. Her
conversation is the very best she can
muster up, and she pumps him full
of compliments and finds no fault
with him.
Experience Cited.
Let me draw from my own expert
ence. When I was courting Jean,
and serenading her nightly under
her balcony window, was as fat
as a goose. But she told me was
just right; that she liked me fat be-
cause there was more of me to love.
Brother, we hadn't gotten the rice
out of our hair before she told me I
was disgustingly overweight and had
me on a diet that Chinese coolie
couldn't exist on.
Long courtships involve both
parties in many social relations with
families. The young man doesn't
dare do anything but admire the
young gals papa when he tells the
same story over and over. The girl
finally comes to believe that her in
tended is crazy, simply crazy about
her family. The same is true of the
young lady. So, they enter mar
riage. Two months after the march
down the aisle the husband is saying
all the things he really feels about
his father-in-law, and the bride is
letting her husbands family have it
with both barrels.
Had they met and married quickly,
all of this would have been by
passed. So, let us have quick, hasty
marriages, so no illusions will be
built up on either side.
After all, prize fighters don't chum
around together for months or years
before stepping in the ring. They
just touch gloves, and let fly.
