A Suggestion on the H. C.L.

Having served as a route agent and
market expert for the Postoffice De-
partment, making a special study OF
market conditions and the ways and
means of bringing the producer and
consumer into closer touch with each
other, l have come to the conclusion
that one effective way of helping 70
bring a standardized method of con-
servation out of the present chaotic
one, would be the establishment Of
distribution centers in all of the
larger market cities, either under
Federal or State control, directed b.
a central bureau or commission at
Washington having supervisory au
thority over the several branches Or
State centers.
The advantages Of this plan would
be that at all times the producer ana
also the consumer would know thu
exact value OF each commodity; as
well as the assurance of ready
market, distribution at a maximum
OF efficiency and a minimum OF time
lost.
Another and very important ad-
vantage of this scheme. would be.
that overproduction for any local Sec
ton could be taken care Of on the
markets OF another section through

Those Shanty School Houses
By EARL GOODWIN.
Mr.. Nevnsas Views Are Very Much to the Point.


Former Commissioner OLIVER p NEWMAN, writing
In The Times of Thursday the fourth of his brilliant articles
on the problems of Washington hit upon of the
important subjects that home owners parents and the gen.
eral public in Washington find for study.
Mr. Newman outlined the school situation and showed
that sixyve shacks have been erected partial make

Columbia pays in taxes the best able
this uncture to send children school for three
hours day and crowd others into wooden buildings that
reminded Mr.. Newman of miners shantes.
The fault is fault of conditions arising the war
to great extent
The Board of Education surveyed the school situation
thoroughly and properly and recommended certain schools
and In course of time Congress appropriated money for
Them IL these buildings could have been erected
the time the Board of Education their need
mended them the building materials would have been
bought and labor could have been paid for the amount
which first estimated.
But by the time all the machinery had been cranked
ana all the estimates had been printed and all the commit
tees had heard arguments and both had
passed the bill and the money had become available il was
impossible to build the specified schoohouses the money
in hand
Meantime, MORE and MORE children were aockins to
school Frantic principals amming the scholars into
buildings that would burst with but little more pressure
One OF the evils of the situation that children who
should have had full school day being taught only
half day.
Everyone appreciates the unfortunate situation and
there is no help for it under the present system
1t might be relieved should think If Congress would
appropriate large blanket for general building
purposes to be Immediately available With such sum
the buildings already planned and appropriated for could
be started Immediately As long building material keeps
jumping and down IN we III be able to build
ANYTHING if we estimate and get the money the

Consider the Kiss

worse than promiscuous kissing
and "spooning." Not only because
it's wrong and cheap and so often
ends in disaster, but chiefly be-
cause it's transgression of that
sanctity which is one Of the finest
things woman possesses.
A woman's lips have been
called the gateway to her soul.
There never was a truer charac-
terization. Why does the young
lover plead for "just one"-just
one and no more? Because the
wisdom of generations of men is
inherently his-because he knows
that the first kiss-the first in
fringement of the innate modesty
which is every woman's heritage
is the hardest; that the second
comes easier-and the third and
the fourth-they're his without
the asking!
And when that moment comes
unless he is the one man in all
the world for the girl-something
of that girls inner fneness and
sweetness is gone-never to re-
turn. If that weren't so, why
would woman remember her
first kiss-remember it although
she married another man, remem-
Der it to the day of her death
although she lived to be eighty
and had lived a not unexciting
life!
And just as every other law of
nature exacts penalties for its
violation, just SO does this one.
The girl who let's one man after
another have the freedom of her
lips, finally loses the capacity of
knowing when the lips that were
made for her do come. Kisses
have become so common that the
true is lost in the false. A famous
roue once said that the great trou-

BILE Of having loved often and

capable of loving greatly and well.

know the writer is dear and sweet
because she says:
"ls it proper to let him kiss me?
1 never feel exactly right about 1t,
but somehow he always wants to. I
don't believe in allowing it, but
what can l do?"
81 never feel exactly right about
it" What story that little SEN
tence tells! Her instinct is telling
her just as hard as it can that this
isn't the right boy or that the time
isn't yet right and being very
young and very inexperienced
she's all puzzled and bewildered.
And the best advice l can give her
is to wait-wait, even though it is
years and years until she DOES
feel RIGHT about it. Then she
won't have to ask any one but
her own heart for advice.
And perhaps right at this mo-
ment many of my girl readers
are thinking what so many girls
write to me every week, that if
they don't let the boys kiss them,
the boys don't ask them out again.
Of course that kind of boy won't,
because that's all he's after
cheap kisses, cheaply given and
cheaply taken. But he's the wrong

kind of boy--the kind any girl
will do well to go without.
You know boys have fashion
of labelling the girls they can kiss
and the girls they can't. I've
often wondered why girls don't
catalogue the boys who want to
spoon" and the boys who don't.
Because just as surely as the boys
can tell what a girl is made of,
just as certainly girl can tell
what kind of a boy she is with.
If he's the sort who wants to
spoon" the very first time he
calls. you may bet your whole
months allowance that he's
"spooned" with every other girl
he could. You can get his "num-
ber just as easy as a conductor
who wears his right out in the
open on the visor of his cap.
The chronic "spooner" isn't a
good gamble for any girl to take.
But the boy who waits until he
knows a girl, knows whether he
cares for her or not, knows
whether she is interested or not,
that's the kind of boy to have
that's the kind who'll ask your
father when he can marry you
that's the kind who is going to
produce an engagement ring,
while the other man, if you ever
notice-what does he produce?
If you are only meeting boys
who insist on kissing or staying
away, then you're meeting the
wrong kind of boy in the wrong
kind of place. There's plenty of
the other kind if you go to the
right places to find them-and
they're not on the street corners
or in the cheap dance halls.
They're not so easily found-but
when they are discovered, they're
well worth while.
IL don't want to be respected-I
want to be loved'-wails one dear
girl in the sophisticated way our
modern young girls have, as
though she had about come to the
conclusion that the two no longer
go together. But they do-as
much now as they ever did. In
fact, they are never apart. You
can be loved and you can be re-
spected-in fact, you won't ever
be very much "loved" by the men
who don't respect you. You'll
have something that passes for
the emotion, but it will be an
awfully tawdry little imitation
that like all imitation things won't
wear and won't satisfy. Love is
love just as silk is silk and up to
date all the kings nurses and all
the kings men have not found any
very successful adulteration.
BE good and you'll be lone
some" is the popular refrain, but
it's the one who's lonesome LAST
who's the lonesomest. And a lot
of these girls who aren't lonesome
now are going to be awfully lone
some some of these days, while
the girl who saved her kisses for
the right man-she won't ever be
able to remember a lonesome mo-
ment. She'll be too happy with
the man she's waited for--the man
who loved her so much he respected
her and respected her so much
that he married her.

SGT TE wants to kiss me-shall
IA l let him?"

- Wd1IIo % MISS IHe-sIIdII
II 1 let him?"
sand letters a year that ask that
momentous question. Every year
there is a new crop of girls just
turned seventeen just having
their first beaux-just face to face
with their first problems of being
a woman.
And every other consideration
aside, the first thing l want to
shout to them is never to take
kiss they themselves do not want.
Then to be chary of taking the
kisses they do want.
If you want a mans kisses,
then consider them. If you don't,
guard your lips as though they
were rubies Of great value-as
they are.
II no woman ever married a
man whose kisses were only en-
dured, there would be many, many
fewer divorces. For a man may
like to kiss a hundred girls, but
the right sort of girl wants to
kiss one man-and one only. If
. she kisses the others just because
THEY want it, she is violating
one Of her own finest instincts
an instinct given to her for her
own protection and for the better
ment of the race.
The day of the merely ac-
quiescent woman is gone. The
day when girls could be asked to
marry some man who had about
as much to thrill them as a stone
post is past. And with that rass-
ing day is coming a new man
a man who doesn't want the kisses
of submission but the kisses of
desire. And when every one
comes to that way of thinking
we'll have more mating that will
last and less marrying which ends
in divorce.
The girl who goes to the altar
with a man whose touch is not
dear to her is starting on a path
way of ploughshares and thorns.
She can neither find nor give
happiness. She risks the facing
of the day which will bring the
man whose nearness she will
crave like a breath of fresh air or
a long cooling drink, only to find
her already welded to another.
The average girl doesn't really
want to kiss this boy or that boy.
If she does kiss him, it's because
he wants to kiss her or because
some of the older girls guy her
and tell she's a prude and prlg.
So when | say to a girl don't let
a man kiss you unless you want
the caress as much as he, kiss
ing is almost entirely tabooed by
the mere process Of elimination:
When Nature made a woman's
lips sweet and desirable to men,
she simultaneously put in every
girls nature an unconscious
shrinking from any lips but the
right ones. If girls would only
be true to that God-given instinct,
the question "Shall | kiss or
not 2" would seldom be asked. It's
because a girl starts out with the
idea that kissing and "spooning'
are part of the game of love that
they even consider the possibility.
There's nothing in the world
