Rules for choosing a husband:
1. Disposition-Find out il he 10
kindly, thoughtful. quick to serve old
or young, IL he is sympathetic with
suffering, loves children, and is kind
to animals.
.. Tastes-Note tastes as to as
sociates, as to pleasures, whether in
foods, drinks, dress, in reading, and
in general interests relating 10 life
and the world.
3. Habits-Are his habits based on
impulse or principles. are they self
indulgent, irregular. thoughtless, dis
organized, or established by self-con-
troll and guided by ideals and ideas
OF the future welfare OF his family?
4. Loye-Is his profession OF love
based on your beauty. dress, manners,
tsste-or what he sees in your char
scter. your purity OF life and
thought? Is he always thinking OF
what you can do for him rather than
what he can do for you?
5. Character-As to taking respon-
slbilities, Can he live up TO high
standards and fulfill his duties as a
father and a husband?
Mrs. Gordan, who is considered an

MEADE SEEKS
To ABOLISH
FRIENDSHIP"
SUBTERFUGE

CAMP MEADE, Nd, Feb. 23.-Col.
w. c. Rogers, commander OF the
military police. has called on the
police officials OF Baltimore to seek
their cooperation in preventing per-
sons in Baltimore from supplying
soldiers with liquor and preventing
any traffic in Turing soldiers to
places where friends" will furnish
the drinks.
The military authorities are acting
upon information obtained from Balti-
more.
Col. Tenney Ross. chief of staff,
said the attitude OF the camp officers
IS that the furnishing OF liquor to
soldiers must be stopped. Officers
here are looking to the police in
Baltimore to handle the situation.
No threats are being made as to
refusal of passes TO visit Baltimore.
Men in their turn are allowed to go

distance and cannot AFFORD to go back
to their homes are allowed to visit
Baltimore. They can 60 to Washing
ton, too, but few indeed ever ask to
go there, except of course the men
who have homes in that city.
The Turing of soldiers to places
where they may be supplied with
booze has been reported.
A case now pending in Baltimore is
expected to bring forth testimony az

out of this case there may be others.

ing sale of intoxicants to soldiers by
selling whiskey to friends" who ex.
change it for the soda ordered by
soldiers with them, must be stopped,
army officers say.
This practice has been winked at
by saloon keepers in Baltimore, II lie
charged by military authorities, and
has led to many soldiers INDUCING in
Thiskey.
According to the Baltimore police,
men are engaged in this nefarious
work, and some women too who have
found it SO profitable that they are
making it a profession.
The plan is for a soldier to be met
by friend" in civilian clothes. Prob
ably woman acquaintance is formed
and the party enters a saloon. The
soldier lives up to the law by order
ing a soft drink. Others with him
order WHISTLES. Whiskey is poured
into his soda or his soda is switched
for q glass OF whiskey.
This is done apparently, without
the knowledge Of the saloonkeeper.
However, the charge rs now made
that the business has become so lu-
crative and competition so keen that
saloonkeepers are now engaging pro
fessional friends" for soldiers who

want TO drink whiskey without open
~ violating military regulations.

Military and Government officers
are watching the interurban cars that
ply between Washington and Balti-
more with disfavor, and unless the
number OF soldiers patronizing the
booze special" decreases an order
restricting Baltimore trips By enlist
ed men is probable.
Baltimore and its saloons are hav-
ing a bad effect on the men, army Of
ficers say, and some means will have
TO be adopted to stop traffic in liquor.
The interurban cars almost dafly
carry soldiers to Baltimore, where
they can procure whiskey, and the ef-
feet OF this IS felt In American Uni
versity camp, Fort Myer, and the
other camps in and near Washington,
the army men declare.
The danger does not only lie IN the
trips OF soldiers TO Baltimore. but in
the traffic that is carried. on ny civ.
ilians, who. procuring whiskey in Raj.
timore, sell it to the soldiers later,
the cars themselves often being made
the scene OF the transaction.
