Wages Higher, Food Bearer,

It must be that way apparently You can't take it out

You can't take it out of the wholesaler the Milk Trust
gentleman He is well organized The only solution is
ADD CENT TO THE PRICE FOR THE BABY'S MILK.
Higher pay for bakers smaller Ioaves or higher price
Higher pay for public servants higher taxes higher rents
The interesting prohibition problem is complicated
little by the increasing price of coffee More coffee will be
used because other stimulating drinks will be eliminated
Therefore of course raise the price of coffee And it is
raised 1t is not easy to predict any solution of the whr
ing problem of higher cost, higher wages
Rice very cheap; good quality of broken rice cost
less than cents pound Everybody said, "Eat RICE
the people began eat rice and the price went to EIGHT
cents, and higher.
Kerosene cheap-eight cents gallon The farmers
were delighted hear that tractors would be made to pillow

Here's a Way to Get All the
Schools We Need
But 1t Will Be Received With Goodness and Suspicion Bee
Not Following the Old Beaten, and Retroactive Pa
By EARL GOODWIN.

Because this is a idea, l am it will not find
favor
That is it will not find favor in high places but among
the parents OF school children who for themselves
day by day that the younger generation is getting only
half an education in spots believe attention will be
paid to it.
Here's the idea:
Washington school equipment has fallen behind the
needs of the city
There not enough schools for the greatly increased
population; not enough teachers.
This about because of wartime conditions. Build
ngs could not be estimated for under present cumber
method of local government because by the time the
money could be appropriated by Congress the estimated cost
of building would have doubled itself
Therefore, because system wrong and because
could not erect school building when needed
haven't erected enough and school children who should be
going school for whole day forced for only half
day They getting half education when they should
be getting the best in the world
My idea is that there should be entirely order of
things regarding appropriations
As long have Congress city council will
not get what need fast need it under the
present method of apprOpriatng for schools at time
and specifically pointing out each school building
appropriate for it.
If need ten school buildings, l would suggest
to be carefully accounted for but with instructions get
enough school buildings erected to accommodate ALL the
school children all the tlme matter what they cost
know that Appropriations Committees OF Congress
will hold up hands in holy horror any such thought
But if they themselves with the value of
dollars than with the value of education they will be
anything than disbursng clerks.
Our schools and school children most valued
possessions and NOW is not time to pinch the system.

Greatest Problem How to Keep
Husbands Love.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
The editorial OF June 3, Does
Divorce Mean Freedom" etc. and
on What Is the Greatest Problem
Confronting People Contemplating
Marriage"
1 feel the greatest problem is
how to keep ones husband after
you've won him. However, "suffi-
cient OF the day ia the evil thereof"
applies to many wedding days. A
mother who has her newborn in
FAINT placed in her arms Is supreme
~ happy Her suffering Is forgot
ten in the Joy OF possession. To
that mother her child Is the most
wonderful, and happily God wells
the future. II the mothers Of chill
dren who go wrong could know this
in the beginning. what agony. And
so she goes on in happy ignorance
and devotion. A woman marries
happy, in the thought that she IL
the chosen one. She, too, Is proud
Of her possession. II she has STAN
Ina and pride enough she bears her
disappointments with dignity, for
we are but human, and fal Of mis-
takes. SO husbands idOtS as well
as wives are often shattered. But
wives and mothers can be master
builders Of character by helping to
mend the weak parts OF the natures
placed in our care. When women
look at marriage this way instead
OF feeling that a man means home
and comforts, protection, etc. and
all they need TO do is look pretty
and spend money, then the divorce
mills will close down. So you see.
tho greatest problem Is unselfish
devotion. Divorce cannot wipe out
memories or facts. We leave our
parents when we are grown up, but
do We forget them?

Shall They Go to Dances AIOneR
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am twenty-four years old. and
have recently come to Washington
as a Government worker. have
made several girl friends In the Of
fee, but haven't met any boys.
That being the case, can't expect
to be escorted each time 1 want TO
go out. 1 like dancing, and 1 am
writing to ask il IT is proper for me
to 60 with my girl friends TO pub
lie halls like the - or --. II
we should go, should we dance to-
gether all the time. or is 1t con-
sidered nice to accept any dances
asked US? A NEW WORKER
1t is perfectly proper for girls
to go to dances in groups without
young men, although IT might be
rather dull for them. In regard
to the two public dance places Of
which you write, l believe it IS
customary In both places for
strange young men to invite
strange young women to dance
with them without the formality
of an introduction. Particular
girls, OF course, do not go in for
such promiscuous acquaintance
Why couldn't you try to get up
your own parties? Doubtless the
girls who have been in Washing
ton longer than you have know
some young men, and it would be
more agreeable If they went with
you than If you started out a hen
party" and picked up strange
young men at the dance. Why not
try going to some OF the War Camp
Community dances?

The company and Burke brought the
action to enforce performance of an
option to purchase an undivided inter-

The lower court sustained motion for
IA non-suit and the appeal was taken
from this order 1t is held by the SUI

The lower court, therefore, did not err
