WOMA N’'S PAGE. A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. will be & memorial of William Howard Taft in stone and steel. Over broad east plaza of the Capitol is the site where the Supreme Court Building will stand. Under the steady pressure of the former Presi- dent and late Chief Justice, general plans for the build- ing were completed, title to the land scquired by con- demnation and the structure itself authorized by law. ‘There remains but the actual appro- priation to be made. Then down will come the old buildings that now cover the ground, some of them of historic interest, and the stately new home for the highest court will rise in their place. Mr. Taft long dreamed of the day when that should come to pass. back in his first decade of Washington life, when a suggestion of his avail- ability as presidential timber came from his then chief, Theodore Roosevelt, the big, genial Ohioan made it clear that he would greatly prefer a place on the Supreme Court bench. He was drafted for the presidency, if ever a man was, and it brought him in the end the bit- terest political defeat any man of his political faith has known. ‘Yet time held consolation in store for | him. As Chief Justice he reached the very pinnacle of his lifelong ambition. And that swept away for him much of the bitterness of the past. Before age began to take toll of him, Chief Justice Taft hoped and expected to remain long on the bench. He set himself to intensive study of the prac- tices and processes of the court. Much ‘was done under his urgency to speed up Federal judicial machinery and to relleve the clogging load of long- | delayed cases that cramped the action of this greatest of legal tribunals. Vet it was not so much that upon which his heart was set as upon realization of his long-cherished dream of a splendid independent building to house the court. | would be necessary to state that he is Court justices themselves to leavihg the historic old Senate chamber in the | Capitol. It is close to the heart of in Washington. The stir and bustle of governmental life is all about the judges as they sit in their solemn robes umuu bench. Some of them feared tion and loss of vital con- tacts in & more remote setting. But Mr. Taft had his way. The Supreme Court is to have such a build- ing as he had dreamed of. Even the approved architectural design bears the |stamp of his individual taste. And already a move is afoot to find a way to make it in fact a memorial to Wil- liam Howard Taft, I SPRINGTIME | BY D. C. PEATTIE. i Along the winding creeks down- |river the timid little Sora now arrive, {and in the softening mud, long ice- |locked, Wilson's snipe goes waddling {about in a stilted and preposterous | manner. Whoever is up early in the | country may hear, too, a strange, de- | scending note, the sound of the wood- |cock as he alights in his leaflike fall to the ground, but only the eye of & trained gunner will perceive him. I have even heard one, at about 5 o'clock in the morning, in Rock Creek Park, | but never was I able to glimpse him. ‘These are the birds you meet with in the pages of books. We, the common people of the District of Columbia, sel- dom hear or see these birds, and might not know them if we did. A robin on & lawn, in a chill, green twilight, is good enough for me, as undaunted he cranks out his little song of cheer that no winds can bluff or bluster into silence. S0 much has been said of Robin Goodfellow that it would be futile per- haps to add. If his biography were to | be written in the present “debunking” | trend of that branch of literature, it | not a robin! Not, at least, the Euro- pean robin, though both belong to the thrush family. This is the merest quibbling, and if there is no new way of our big, merry bird, let me say at least that I would rather hear one robin drumming old Winter out of cam] American robin—than all ‘There was then, and there is now, some objection among the Supreme ' OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL Growing Time.

A child should belong rather more to himself. In fact, nobody owns anybody, especially children.
