THINGS
i know a young man who had a
good job up to a few months ago. lie
spent money liberally while he Lad it,
but was always unhappy.
Now he is earning barely enough
to pay the rent of u cheap room and
provide a couple of trod est meals a
day,, and he is happier, tells me, than
when lie had plenty.
'*1 haven't so many THINGS to
worry about/' he -said. "I've more
time to think, to read, to listen to
music, to look at pictures; and I've
coiLe to the conclusion that the prin
cipal trouble of most people in these
days is that they're never learned to
get along without THINGS'*
I think my voting iriend is right.
Things are of value only as J hey are
useful to people but too much u?e of
things makes us dependent upon
them; Ave become slaves of the ma
chine. We give no mv.ch thought lo
many things which an> after all, only
toy or moans of gratifying our van
ity, that we don't hnve time left for
tiie enduring values fnat erme from ?
I thought and reflection.
! ALICE
Mrs. Alice Liddoll Hargieaves, SO
I years old, (he origin;!? little Alice for
I whofr Lewis Carro'l wrote "Alice in
! Wonderland" sevnity years ago,
found New York so topsy tuny, meas
ur??.l by her English standard)?, i ha t
it reminded her of the mythical ad
venture of her fictional namesake.
Next to writing a book that lives
forever, there must be a great satis
faction in having inspired it. "Alice
in Wonderland'" and "Through the
Locking Glass' have delighted ?<on
eiJlions of children and their elders
as well.
The Reverend Charles Lutwidge
Dodgson, who wrote these books un
dei the name of ''Lewis Carroll," was
a great mathematician and student.
Tie wrote ponderous tom.es (hat no
body but a mathematician can under
stand and that everybody has for
{rotten. But as long as human nature
remains what it is, as it has remained
from the beginning of time, "Alice"
and her adventures will be read.
It seems to me that giving the
world enduring enjoyment is a great
er rehievement tliau so'ving (he most
profound problems in mathematics.
LAUNDRIES.
A friend showed me the other day
a list of thirty seven different chem
icals which are used in the laundry
and dry cleaning industry. After
looking over the list which ran from
acedc aci.l to zinc, I began to under
stand why my collars come back with
saw-edges and my shirts full of holes!
Another friend showed me a new
machine for dry cleaning which he
believes will revolutionize that in
dustry. It uses no gasoline or other
inflammable material, so it can be
installed anywhere end it will clean
a suit of clothes in fifteen minutes. In j
I>ondon, he told me, where he found
this machine, you can drop into a
shop, sit. in a closed booth while your
suit is being cleaned and pressed, and
col out in twenty minutes at a cost
of two shillings sixpence (hal^ a
crown) with a fresh, new looking
suit.
Considering th it cleanliness is
quite a modern idea tnd soap one of
humanity f: most recent inventions, it
is amazing to regard the amount of
money we spend to keep ourselves
and our garments clean and it is not
at all surprising that we are still
careless about, smoking chimneys and
street dirt and other things which
run up our laundry bills.
T saw a letter the other day, from
Ballington Booth, head of the Volun
teers of An criea; te'ling of the
strain under which ihc people of his
organization is laboring to help the
out of work and distressed. The same
day I passed by th; national Head
quarters of the Salvation Army,
where his sister, Evangeline Booth is
'eading in the same sort of unselfish
effort to help the down and out. It
struck me, as it has struck me many
times, that the nearest that any great
bod\ of people in this country come
to living up to the teaching of Christ,
the teaching of selflessness and the
helping hand, is found in those two
great organizations.
And to me it is southing to think
about that the leaders ^ ho are carry
ing on thi3 work are the son and
daughter of a Jew. "fJeneral" Wil

be considered to reduce the yearly

CWCAGO.
My Chicago friends are gctjing
enthusiastic over the world's Fair
thi y are going to next year. They
call it the "Century of Progress Ex
position," and from what George
Jung and others tell me it!s going tO
Oe worth anybody's time to visit it.
One interesting feature will be a
group of Lincoln buildings, duplicat
ing the Kentucky log cabin in which
Lincoln was born, the Indiana cabin
in which he spent 1:m boyhood, the
store in which he was a partner at
New Salen:, III., the Rntledge Tavern |
where his boyhood sweetheart Ann I
Hutledge, lived, aril the "Wigwam"!
in which he was first nominated for
the Presidency.
I always enjoy visiting Chicago,
whether there's celebration going 011
there or not. It is the most tvpica ly
American city we have. I j?et the im
pression always that Chicago may not
know where she's going but she's
surely going somewhere. I don't think
any American's education can be con
sidered comp'ete without a visit in
Chicago long enough to get the spiv
of the place.
v Next year will b? the biggest year
for Chicago since 1893 and every
body who can ought to plan now to
go there then.

Washington Letter
Wellington, J). C., May 10 ? Old
t i n t? observers of governmental ac
tivities say that they have never seen
such sin earnest and serious effort
011 the part of everybody concerned
to do the right thing in this national
crisis. Evidence of the strain under
which Congress is working is found
in the large amount of illness, pros
tration I'roin over work and several
deaths among the members of both
Houses since this session began.
The public does riot realize the
amount of work that is done by mem
hers of Congress, because most of the
reports are only of the public ses
sions. A good deal of time and ener
gy is spent on the , floor of each
| House in making speeches which con
vince nobody, but which have as their
ulterior motive possible use for po
litienl purposes. The real work of
Congress is done in the committeo
i (?onis ami in conferences with o^fic
,'hIh of the executive branch of the
'lOvernment. And in these days tin
earnest, thought Trfid study that Is
being given to the problems of gov
ernment by everbody, Republicans,
Democrats and insurgents, is more in
tense than it has been at any time
since the war. It is no unusual thing
for a committee chairman to work all
night, or for nu entire committee to
sit in earnest discussion until the late
boars in the morning. Both House and
Senate restaurants arc serving more
breakfasts than ever before.
h j waiter Garner is at hi.s office
every morning at seven o'clock, al
though sessions of Congress do not
begin until noon. ile puts in Five
hours of hard work before ascending
the rostrum, and is frequently at his
oftiee until late in the evening, after
the session is over.
It is beginning to be doubtful
whether Congress can actually finish
its work and adjourn for the year by
the 10th of .Tune. The major appro
prirtion bills will have to be out r.t"
the way before June JO, as the Govern
merit's fiscal year ?nds on that date,
and nobody would Lave authority to
spend a cent after July 1st, unless th?
appropriation bills were passed.
Those are the measures which am
giving more trouble than even the tax
bill. Tberi is no mistaking the sin
cere desire of everybody concerned
