Dear Miss Grey: i shonld
like to say in reply to letter
written by E. r. w. that he
evidently has had very little
experience with the girls OF
today. Before I was married
/ was one of the girls he
designated as a "bundle of
fashion" and no girl ever had
q better time. Now I've been
married two years and we
are very happy. | pride my
self on managing SO nicely on
my husbands small wage. l
also find my girl friends are
the same. We all think e. r.
w. will have a hard time get
ting any kind of a wife, as he
Is too narrow-minded in our
opinion.

Fire-BuilderS

Well always envy freckle-faced kid who can
build fire outdoors ON wet day. And that's
not lost art, either.
Perhaps there are not So many youngsters who
can perform that feat, these days, as there
back in 1892; but there are some.
And, judging by the example of the fire-build-
ers of our neighborhood in 1892, the lads Of to-
day who are emulating them will kindle their
blaze in the world.
The most successful fire-kindler Of our neigh
borhood is now president of a realty company in
Los Angeles. Another is Puget Sound con-
tractor, another is naval officer, and third
owns whole flock of Middle West farms.
There's no use talkin', kid who can build an
open fire a rainy day can do most anything.
Now they paint steamships they look just like the
ocean. If they could only paint some ocean so il
would look like steamship

Dear Miss Grey: In an
swer to "Norma's" recent OBJ
servation concerning the
Bachelor world, permit me to
offer an explanation.
This question of meh clan
ming together is, should say,
a serious social problem that
will have some direct bearing
on the future social, eco
monte, and political life. Man
is lonesome by nature and
woman needs affection by in
stinot. Both conditions are
purely mental. Therefore
physical conditions only enter
In as secondary considera-
lions. That is the one great
mistake of the women; they
place too much hope on the
outward appearances to the
utter disregard of their brain.
To really become acquainted
people must have an ex-
change of intellect. They they
become closer to each other
and eventually form a lasting
and beneficial friendship. The
average young girl assumes a
forced expression, manner,
and conversation when in
public. II a man becomes q
trifle interested in one Of the
opposite sex, and succeeds in
treading through this reserve,
usually he is disappointed
with the results. He Is dis
couraged after many attempts
and finally takes to his fellow
man as a rest, but all the
while waiting for a possible
woman to awaken him to the
search again.
Young women forget that
the outward appearance
serves only as an entrance,
and that the intelligence
which they possess Is the fin
al test.
Convenience Is the other
consideration. 1t is very easy
to telephone a fellow man,
make a date, TO go TO a show,
and return home feeling a
sense of enjoyment. The con-
versation between men (when
alone) Is interesting and ele-
waiting. Also the financial
question Is more easily
solved. We do not have to

DISTRICT employees
WILLING BOND BUYERS

ESThe canvas among District en-
Plpyes for the sale of Liberty bonds
pficials said today has met with uni
iversal responses, especially from the
smaIler-paid employees.
1'.''This is strikingly illustrated in
the case Of employees OF charitable
institutions" said George S. Wilson.
secretary to the Board of Charities.
MANY subscriptions have been re-
eeived from persons who are in re-
ceipt of between $50 and $50 a month.
Among the returns received this
morning were those from two indus
trial schools, where the majority of
the employees receive less than $40
a month. Practically every empIoye
subscribed for a $50 bond.
"A splendid example of patriotism
is given by the employees OF the COL
ored Industrial school at Blue Plains.
This school has a total of nineteen
officers and employees including the
all OF whom are COL
ored.. Seventeen OF the nineteen re-
ceive $40 a month or less and every
one has subscribed for at least one
bond and made the first pay

LIBERTY BEACON
SENDS OUT CALL,
DESPITE STORMS

Thousands OF patriotic citizens
stood bareheaded in a drenching
downpour of rain on the Monument
Lot and on the roadways about the
historic shaft last night as the Ma
rine Band played The Star-Spangled
Banner" and great sheet Of flame
leaped up from the huge bonfire that
carried a Liberty Day signal across
the continent.
Despite a downpour of rain the
Liberty eve celebration and bonfire
was a big success.
Mrs. William G. McAdoo, Mrs. VIII
son. and many officials arrived ten
minutes before the hour set for the
signal fire. Everything was in readf'
ness.
Mrs. McAdoo touched the electric
switch that exploded a charge of oil.
As the flames broke out from the
huge pyramid a brisk rainfall was
added to a whipping west wind. Mrs.
McAdoo stood bareheaded through
out the ceremony.
As pots OF red and blue fire were
reached by the cracking flames the
great beacon broke out into the
American colors while the crowd
cheered.
As the flames died down a heavy
downpour sent the spectators run
ming for cover.

TO j. s. PRISON FOR
SELLING WH|SkEY
MEN IN UNIFORM

Thursday at noon, J. NJ. Shivars,
convicted of selling liquor to mem
bers of the military forces of the
United States while in uniform, was
sent to the federal penitentiary at
Atlanta, escorted by United States
Deputy Marshal c. P Mcmillan.
Shivars was the first to be con-
victed in this district for violation of
the new act and was sentenced to
serve six months in the Atlanta pris-
on, Since his conviction there have
been two others, though the plea of
guilt by one, has not been accepted,
and his case went over until the fall
term of court.
When the preliminary hearing of
Frank Kenny, charged with selling
liquor to members of the military
forces of the United States while in
uniform, was resumed yesterday
morning before United States Com
missioner Sullivan, the defendant
was bound over for the grand jury.
This is the second case in two days
which has been bound over, the first
being Frank Webb who was arrested
Wednesday at the same time as
Kenny, but who was tried and bound
over Wednesday afternoon. Federal
authorities are determined that the

SERVICE CLUB MEN
IN POLICE COURT

Cases made by the police against
Joe Reed and Walker Wilkins, charg-
ing that they had allowed persons in
their service club at 218 South Pala-
fox street after 10 o'clock Saturday
night, will be heard in the recorders
court this morning. They were dock
eted for trial on Monday, but con-
tinuance was granted until this morn
ing, and Police Clerk Welsh last eve
ming placed the names of the two
defendants on the docket for this
morning.
1t istunderstood that motion will
be considered asking for the dis
charge of Mr.. Reed, the allegation
being supported to the satisfaction
of the. police chat the license is not
in his name. The case against Mr..
Wilkins, therefore, will be heard.
In connection with this case, there
are rumors of a police inquiry short
ly. 1t is asserted that at one service
club on Saturday night, considerable
business is claimed to have been done
after hours. The Reed-Wilkins place
is said to have been exonerated fol-
lowing investigations of complaints,
but as an outcome of said arrests,
it is stated that an inquiry will be
set working within a day or so, IN
which several officers of the police
department may figure rather prom
inently. Police Commissioner San
ders was asked about it, and he in
ferred that those actively in charge
of the police are responsible for what
transpires on their respective
watches. If they fail to do what is
thus required of them, the commits
sioner emphasized, they must expect
something to happen. The commits
sioner is bent on having harmony
and efficiency in the department, he
saws.
