Now ladies, "hustle"--it means not
only liberal education to you, but u
series of delights that you cannot i'm
agine, but which will be more enjoy
able to you in their reality than they
could possibly be in your dreams.
Instead of wondering what kings
look like; in what kind of places they
live, you can see for yourself and in
after years how interesting you can
make conversations when talking in
tellectually of the places on the other
side Of the ocean, and how proud you
will be when able to state you had so
many friends who were loyal to you,
that, through their kindness and the
courtesy of the Alexandria Gazette,
you were enabled to take the trip.
Self Help is Best
Benjamin Franklin is quoted as say
ing: "The Lord Helps Those That
Help Themselves" Now, Benjamin,
while one Of the great men of the
world, was little unorthodox in his
religious views and he probably meant
the assertion quoted as a little dig"
at Christianity, but he uttered as true
an aphorism therein as any of the
wise sayings published in "Poor Rich
ards Almanac" And it's good gos-
pei too. Whoever heard of the Lord
giving his assistance to one who was
too lazy or trifiing to attempt to
paddle his own canoe? The man VINO
gets up in the morning and hustles is
the one who "brings in the bacon" and
the same applies to the ladies.
And it is particularly applicable to
the young ladies who aspire to the
members of the party whom the Alex
andria Gazette will sen don a trip to
Canada, France England and Scotland
next summer.

FINDS NO VIOLATIONS
Recommends That City Change As

Special Correspondence Of The Star.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. October "a, 1912.
The grand jury which yesterday after
noon began an inquiry into the personal
tax returns submitted by citizens. in a
report made to the corporation court at
il 40 o'clock today, reported that its in
vestigation shows no attempt has been
made by the taxpayers Of the city to
evade assessments.
Further on the report reads:
There may be q few isolated cases,
which have not come under our notice,
where improper returns have been made.
These we are convinced are the result
of a misunderstanding Of the law bear
ing on the subject OF personal property.
Regarding failures Of communities in
general to report automobiles for assess
ment. the jury reported that it found.
upon examination. a number Of machines
are not assessed. 1t was stated. how
ever. that MANY Of the owners are not
residents of this city.
Continuing further. the jury in regard
to this matter says: Residents mention

CHOIR BOYS IN RACE
Good Shepherd Church Sing
ers Enter Stars Contest.
AIM FOR LONGER VACATION
Plan to Extend Outing Next Sum-
mer by Winning Prize
for Subscriptions.

To insure a longer stay next summer
at their camp at Point Lookout. Md. at
| the confluence of the Potomac river and
| Chesapeake bay, the choir boys of the
Church of the Good Shepherd. 9th and
streets northeast. are working for one Of
the guaranteed prizes in The Stars five
thousand-dollar subscription contest. Tn
der the leadership of Rev. c. S. Abbott.
rector Of the church, the forty singers OF
carols are corralling subscriptions.
The choir boys Of the Church Of the
Good Shepherd have been going down to
| Point Lookout each summer for several
years. And the tales and memories of
| good times Of campfires, of swimming, Of
boating and Of all kinds Of wholesome fun
| that have been brought back each year
have established the camp as a perma-
| nent institution.
Aim for Longer Vacation.
There was only one want at the camp
the want for longer time on the sandy
shore. This want the choir. boys hope
to minimize through their work in The
Stars subscription contest. BY winning
one of the fifty-dollar or one-hundred-
dollar prizes. the chOr:sters are assured
mer will be longer than usual.
! Each subscription they obtain, the boys
argue, means another swim. or another
| campfire or another frolic along the
sand. And the boys are laying up
gOodly store of good times at the camp.
They demanded big supply Of blanks to
start their work and promised they would
| be back for more. One Of the one-hun
dred-dollar guaranteed prizes is as far as
| their hopes have gone yet. but some of
their friends think their success will soon
raise their ambitions.
| Should their success be only as great as
| they hope for now. it will assure an out
| ing for some of the poorer boys of the
parish. who cannot afford the usual camp
| expenses.
| The details of the contest are published
| in each issue Of The Star.
