PREDICT DEFEAT
 FOR ROBSON BILL
(By our Special Cores

&6y OuI Dp9Clal COfFeS) e- Washington, Dec. 16--A poll of the House and Senate shows that the Hobson nationwide prohibition suffrage amendment will be defeatad when these measures come up for a vote which 1t is expected will be ba- gressnan Hobson said today that he was sanguine his measure still had a chance or passage and that there was certainly more than majorfty of the House membership favorable to it It requires 8 two-third vote of both houses of congress to have the oues- ton submitted to popular vote and this vote it is now apparent is not to be had. Texas. Mississippi, Louisiana. and Alabama. are almost solid aeairst both measures while Virginia and West Virginia, are almost solid for both measures. Congressional cau- cuses of these states have been held with the above result being fnS7fcatad
 The North Carolina, South Carolina Arkansas and Oklahoma deIegations. on the other hand, are inclined to vote solid1y dry In the Middle West, the Indiana delegation will vote solidly 'ewets' The .'orys,' will get only one or two in Wisconsin, prob ably one in Michigan, about two in Iowa. while Illinois is non-committal. with indications of a big majority against the amendment. The Mis- sourt delegation, 1t is stated, win give three votes against and the rest viii favor the amendment In the New England and Eastern states the 'swets' are the majority.

CHRISTMAS GIVING.

Christmas is time of extremes. Some nervous and emotional women will make gifts running up into the hundreds The present are apt to be little knick -knacks of no particular value. but supposed 60 testify to the good will of the sender. They cause some pleasure But in many cases they impose a burdensome feeling of obligation to make q suitable return.
 Other people, disgusted by the ex- cesses of the season. make few gifts or none at all They merely buy two or three routine presents for thir own housholds, with as little feeling as they order a barrel of flour
 In neither extreme does the gfver find the real spirit of Christmas. It is not swapping a card case for a desk set. with some neighbor with whom you have no close intimacy. Rather it is gIaddening the heart of the child faces Of your own seircle of relatives, and dropping a Christmas basket here and there among the needy. That kind of thing never promotes nervous
 prostration. and it keeps the heart open.

"Punchboards'' and other alleged wooers of the goddess of chance claimed to have been secretly install- ed recently in many of the cafes, cigar stores and other similar places about the city, have got to go. Street sergea1ts and policemen were given strict orders today by Supt. Birming- ham to inspect all places it is sus- pected that there are violations and to enforce the statutes to the letter.

 Be frank In your treatrnent of the young man whom you do not care for by telling him the truth that you care more for the other young man than for him, and have consented to give your time and society to the one you can love. He will not be apt to come after such an avowal. Always choose the one you know you care the most for.

If Ont of Town; Other Men Call

Dear Miss Iibbey:
 have read with interest your ad- vice to others. I am d young girl of twenty, and an love with young man three years my senior.
 His employment calls him out of town. Would 1t be proper to have other young men calling while he is away? He Is very jealous and bashful. Is 1t proper to walk home from church with a young man whom just met3 Thnaking you in advance for your advicey am,
 MISS LM.
 If the young man is called out of town in the employment he is in it would i1dicate that your heart is not centered on him if you invited other young men to call. That's enough to make a man jealous. while you would not gain good results. It is not best to walk nome Wath a yolzng man from church whom you have just met.

 What girls in country towns with life and youth pllsing in their veins.l have not longed to see the sights of the great city2 If they have a re1a-, tive or friend whom they can visit they think Themselves extremely for tunate. The country beau listens to their enthusiasm about such a project in disn1ay; fearful lest the girl of has dreams will lever be quite the same to him after she returns He is good enough for her now, but after seeing the city chaps, with their good looking faces and stylish clothes, will he not suffer in comparison?
 Worse than all. his little girl, who is now as innocent as babe, might be taken around to see the sights of the city learning a seanny side of life that he would never have her know. If he could. he would draw from her promise that she would not visit the theatre. or look in at the skating rinks. would keep away from the dance halls, walk on the back streets only day-tines and keep off the main ones entirely at night If she did visit a ladyss dining place with her woman companions, he would have her look with alarm on pink lemonade and stick to 8 glass Of cold water.
 or course, the girl said she would remember all this. But she ingenious ly evades giving a direct promise which would put to flight all her hopes of having a pleasant time When she reaches the city, her friends have a great laugh at Johns idea Of keeping her from having 9 good time.
