brief recollection serves, there hasn't been single

But if signs do not fail the Ad Club Of Washington
has taken hold Of the matter and will not drop it.
This organization is composed mainly of merchants.

the Problems the War Workers
Especially for Washington Women

7 Asst Tuesday, a lady describ-
ing herself as a "self-sup-
porting housekeeper," wrote
in this column an account Of her
troubles attributed to domestic
economics. 1t seems she is a war
worker and the wife of a man who
appears to be more of a critic of
her housekeeping than a helpful
co-operator.
He buys canned vegetables, po-
tatoes, etc. at grocery auctions
and the war worker lady buys the
meat, ice, green vegetables, fish,
oysters and the perishable COM
modities at a daily cost of twenty
eight cents a head for a family Of
seven people.

The Princes PaupeF wife.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

The other evening I was highly
entertained by the letter Of a CORE

her husband as "a prince among

My dear girl, if you ever glance

opinion of acquaintances begun in

word, it is because it is so cheap

wants to know you, let him "get

Oil Shows Clear Record

Oil, the mother of motion, is
the dominating industry in many
western states.
During the war, no industry
car show a better record for sup
plying every need of our govern
ment with its products, than can
the oil industry.
Although oil reserves were de-
creasing in face Of greatest world
demand ever known oil prices
did not jump in proportion to
most other commodity prices.
Legislative retrictions, govern
ment Withdrawals Of newly dis
covered oil lands and an antago-
nistic policy on part Of the navy
department was a severe handi.
cap to increased production.
Now after a ten years wrangle
in Congress, a workable leasing
bill is scheduled for passage in
near future which will permit
development of thousands of
acres of withdrawn oil acres in
western states.
States lucky enough to have
oil lands within their boundaries
should exert themselves to assist
oil production by adopting a con-
s~tructive policy in regard to tax.
