SATURDAY, MAY 1, 1920 The Height Of Futility Picketing the British embassy at Washington continues and the capi- tal is bombarded by literature drop- ped from the direction of the skies by flying sympathizers with the cause of Erin. How much women have missed the vent for their energies furnished by the varied war activities is evidenced by the many ways which they devise to occupy their time and thought. Espousal of the cause of Irish free- dom serves as well as anything to afford a program of what may be called "work" to fill the leisure which the pre-war routine is no longer ade- quate to consume. | It is a pity that they should have, | What Jim Says Do You Know Him? "Who's that stranger, mother dear? Look, He knows us, ain't he queer," "He's your father, dearest child." "He, my father?" No such thing, Father died away last spring." "Father didn't die, you dub, Father joined the golfing club. Kiss him he won't bite you child, All them golfing guys look wild."

This meeting very likely will be addressed by Mrs. Park | and she will outline the aims and policies of the organization of which she is the president. When Columbus discovered Am- erica there were no horses on this continent. Jim Concludes: Padded cell doors that awaited the rain-delayed golfers in this instance, however, hit upon something that cannot but be most embarrassing to their own Barer) ment, something that is out of har- MEDICAL SOCIETY mony with the most rudimentary laws of national courtesy and hos- pitality. In view of the fact that neither the men in the British em- bassy nor the men in official posi- tion in Washington are in a posi- tion to make the least difference to the decision of the British govern- ment relative to Irish freedom, the efforts of the picketing women can scarcely be expected to bear fruit, ex- cept in weariness of body to them and weariness of spirit to those who look on. A demonstration could not well be more futile. The "Mother" Tribute John D. Rockefeller, Jr., moved his audience to tears by his tribute to his parents when he spoke in Cleve- land in behalf of the Interchurch World Movement. Tribute to "Mother" is strike a responsive chord in any au- dience, no matter what its character, rather a strange thing when one considers how little the average) mother is appreciated in her life of sacrifice, if she is that kind of mother, how little she is respected if she is the other kind. General Pershing made a appeal to public sympathy when he gave to his mother all the credit for his achievements in France. Other men have done the same and with the same result, others before John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and others will after him. It is a habit with public speakers and it does not argue a more than usually close communica- tion between mother and son after the son has left the home circles and gone out into the busy world there to reap the success that Mother has been preparing him to achieve. The American audience is a very susceptible body. It re-acts pretty much as it is expected to re-act, par- ticular to any standard stimulus. The tribute to motherhood is one of these standard stimuli. It is rather a pity that it does not carry beyond the walls of the hall or church and prompt those who were moved al- most, or quite, to tears to visit the mother who is spending a lonely life in her declining years, to write regu- lar letters of sufficient intimacy to make the mother feel that she really has has a part in the performances of her child. sure" to telling Maybe Germany is like the man were yawning invitingly as we scur- ried to press.
