“lint look at the risk you are tak

with explosives," ..cautioned Mrs. Washington, entreating the cook to remain.
M ’I)eed taint no dangers, Mrs, Wash’n’t’n, you Jes gits Mowed up onct in a

“Well, will you send rue your sister, munches?”
"She bln wo’kln’ three months in de ’ospital gittin’ two dollas a day.”
“How about your other sister, Uose?”
**Muh goodness, she’s uh ludy! She’s runnin’ de elevator in dat hlg depaht-

This Is not fiction; It Is plain, serious fact that confronts the housekeepers
in Washington. Servants are the hardest things in this-city. to find. The call
to the factories and the government has depleted their ranks.
LESSON TEXT—Mark 4:1-20.
, GOLDEN TEXT—Take hegt} therefore
how yr^wfir — Luke 8:18.
ADDITIONAL MATERIAL , FOR
TEACHERS-Matt 13:1-30; 30-43.
PRIMARY TOPIC— Jesus telling a story
about nuwing seed.
PRIMARY' MEMORY t VERSE -Be ye
doers of the word.—James 1:22. \
Jesus tells sis plainly why he taught
no •much by nMuhs of parables ( Matt,
i 13 MO-13). The truth had to he taught;
| hence the parable, that those Fo whom
ft was given to know the messages of
' the kingdom, those who sought It,
! might know and understand, and that
• to the others It migiit he hidden (Mark
1 4:11, 12). Like nil his parables, Jesus
I draws his pictures from the common
i experiences of life—the field, the home,
etc. Paul draws his illustrations chief-
, ly from the city, the army, the market.
In studying this lesson we must turn
to the- parallel account as given by
l Luke and Matthew to get the full and
I complete picture.

lasting duration will he the making of Washington the most influential
publishing nnd educational center.-of -ttye United States. This will fulfill one
of George Washington's dreams of the
capital city named in his honor.
Tlf? government printing office Is
the biggest printing plant in the world,
hut Since America's entrance Into the
war the capacity of that plant has
been hugely overtaxed- The govern
ment has bedn required to let many
printing contracts to private firms, r Iil
spite of the fact that trie law pro
hibits such a practice except in case of
absolute emergency. But the emer
gency has been absolute, because of
the enormous volume of publishing work incident to the war which the govern
ment has fdt called upon to do— New York and Boston have regarded them
selves as the publishing center of the western hemisphere and of the two New
York has held the lead. Now, however, government publications ate being
Issued at such a tremendous rate ttiqt their prestige is jeopardized.' In addi
tion, many magazines are published here, and it is understood many more are to
be published, some moving from other cities. Some two hundred periodical
publication? are now being mailed from Washington.
So much scientific work now is b«flng done at Washington, or at least
directed from the national capital, that Washington Is gaining much prestige
ns a center of science and education. The George Washington university in this
city was founded by George Washington nnd lt^w-as tyis dreamJto make the
national capital a great seut of learning and education.
The Catholic University of America is at Washington, and Georgetown uni
versity, one of the oldest in the country, hIso is located here.

was- ,, sore»’ because the people did not
all receive the seed alike. He did not
have a grouch; he did not enter into
his work that he might receive the
Adulation of men (Matt. 6:2). It is,
however, the "soil” that seems to be
most emphasized In both the direct
teaching and. also the explanation of
the parable, There are four kinds of

Government Clerks Likely to Get More Pay (Soon
I T SEEMS as if the'much-maligned government clerk is soon to come into his
own. He has .suffered foc a long time on small wages. But now there are
several hills in congress designed to help this financial situation. One of these
measures, known as the Keating bill,
stipulates temporary salary increases
for employees making $2,500 or less.
The Increases graduate from 5 to 30
per cent J ;
Another Tueusure, known as the
Nolan bill, provides that no
