TIrToNI OUTLINES PLAN

ROME, Oct 20-Foreign Miniter Tittoni, expressed confidence that his new proposal for the settlement of the Plume and Dalmatian problem would be received with favor since, he declares, it practically accepts the proposal of President Wilson, in regard to Fiume. He asks only the annexation of the district of Volosca lying between Fiume and Trieste to Italy in order to establish joint boundary between the enlarged king dom of Italy and the proposal buffer state Plume.
 This insignificant annexation of a little strip of land and a few. thous and inhabitants" as it is character ized here, would have. he argues, the triple advantage of preventing Plume from being entirely surrounded by Jugo- -Slavia, avoidinf contact between Italy and Jugo-Slavia and of afford ing a certain moral satisfaction to the Italians.
 Minister Tttoni also asked that the Island of Langosta be added to the other Dalmatian islands assigned to Italy.

Il Want a VOte--But Not NOW"
The Curious and Suspicious Attitude Certain Gsutnsa WIS
Control Things in WashfnEtoa
By EARL GOODWIN.

There are men in Washington who have "gone on
record for sedetermnation in the District of Columbia
but who have taken active part in a REAL campaign
to bring about the true American form of government
The men l have in mind have said for years:
Eyes, favor VOTE in Washington; but Just now
is not the time to work for it,
And they never have found the proper time to strike
the first blow.
There is reason for this peculiar attitude
VOTE might upset existing conditions. Little men
big places might be bowled over and big men placed
where they belong for the benefit of ALL Washington
Thousands of WashingtOnians have been led around
by the sleepinducng misstatement Washington is the
best governed city in the world" These same thousands
ought to be allowed each individual to say once wear
whether not he or she thinks it wegoverned city
and WHO should govern it.
1t is wel[governed city for the people who now con-
troll it, but for the people who live In certain neglected
quarters it is nowhere nearly well governed as it might
be. Thousands of and who will pay taxes on
small homes two months from have never in all their
lives had the slightest voice In saying what their taxes
should be- who should get their taxes nor who should
spend it; nor for what it should be spent.
We are underpoliced-no fault of ours-for we PAY
for force; yet if each paid million dollars year in
taxes cannot add buecoat to the force without
our Commissioners (who NOT eected going to Con
gress and explaining IN detail to Senate and House inst
why should have another Nor we increase
police pay dollar.
anyone claims wen governed ask him why
hen under wondrous system could the revolving case
of the bakery orphans be continued for years and WHY
today there is law to prevent the same thing 90
curing again Half million people WANT the best gov
erned city the world, BUT have American voice in get
ting it.

against possible rivals, would
make more Roadway if you dis
played a genuine ambition to i'm
prove yourself, rather than stupid
jealousy.
Eighteen, l know, is pretty
young to expect much of in the
way Of ideals, but try to make a
beginning. Turn your attention
to something worth while, some
thing that viii enable you to take
a better position in life and make
more Of yourself. If you succeed
in this no doubt the girl will re-
store you to her friendship.
She Il BashfuI.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
i don't think any of my relatives
or friends know how lonesome I
feel at times. In the place where 1
am employed quite a few Of the
people call me Smiles" for 1 al
ways try to look pleasant and ap-
pear happy. Now, Miss Fairfax.
what 1 want to ask is this, why Is
1t some girls can get beaus 50
easily and others can not? Is Il the
fascinating ways that attract men?
/ was reared in the old-fashione l
way, and l am more or less bash
full when there Is a young man
around whom I care about. I shut
up like a clam. Now. am twenty
three and think it is about time I
am getting over my bashfuIness,
don't you?
Do you think there is any hoDs
for me at all?
LONESOME TWENTY-THREE.
The only way a girl can gain
poise and get over that dreadful
feeling of panic when in company
is to 60 out as often as possible,
with girls and boys. After a
while the light cheerful banter
called small talk" is very easily
acquired. Alas, often. young people
become only too adept-don't be
in too great a hurry to get over
your shyness, it has a distinct
charm all its own.
Does She Love Hint
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am a young man twenty-three
years old, and / have been going
with a girl whom I never see hut
once a year. l hear from her some
times, and l fell in love with her
my last year in school, where we
were together. She is very nice to
me, and when she writes calls me
her dear friend.
She is a very quiet Virginia girl.
and when l call on her at home
she treats me Hospitality. love
this girl very dearly, but have new
er. kissed her, as she does not an
prove OF 1t. Do you think she
cares for me? RAS
From your account of the affair
l should say you have every rea-
son to be encouraged in regard to
the young lady's feeling for you.
Why do you not put your luck to
the test and plainly ask her. In
any case she would only be fiat
tered by knowing that you love her
better than anyone else.

Beatrice Fairfax Writes of the Problems and Pitfalls of the War Workers
Especially for Washington Women

And still they come. Letters,
letters, letters from. correspondents
who write about "Girls Who Do
Not Attract Men," Sometimes
these writers frankly admit they
belong to that melancholy sister
hood, and the data they have to
offer on the much-discussed sub
ject, they feel, comes under the
head Of expert testimony.
Others, modestly admit them
selves to be attractors Of ire
mendous power and, as such, they
attempt to explain their magnetic
qualities. Among these various
correspondents there are several
schools of thought, that which
boasts the largest number Of ad-
herents, however, is the food
school.
Food Will Win the War;" one
woman wrote, tell them to start
their campaign with tea, a chatting
dish, or other simple camouhage.
They must keep their heavy artil-
lery of good dinners in reserve,
till after the first light skirmishes
have been won-after that, there
is nothing to do but draw up the
terms of the armistice."
The school Of sympathetic listen
ers crowds the food school a close
second. 81 never could AFFORD to
entertain, but every woman can
AFFORD to be a good listener" An
other magnetic correspondent
writes. Then there is the athletic
school that depends on the great
out-of-doors as an ally. The path
to the altar leads through the
greenwood and along the country
road. Others insist that a we'll
aimed golf club will put bachelor
out of commission every time, and
there is the home, sweet home
school which lnslsts upon DO
emstic background.
Let Him Talk About Himself.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
The only way for the girl who
does not attract men," to change
her luck is to learn how to create
an atmosphere OF comfort. Don't
have a stiff formal sitting room
q 4
dentist as instruments OF torture.
Make him feel at home and lead
him to talk about his favorite sub
ject-himself. Like the princess
who told the endless stories in the
Arabian Nights" 1t is a tale that
Is never told.
Eventually he will domesticate
the Gentle Listener that, like THE
Brook" as sung of by Tennyson, he
may go on forever.

I had an idea Charlie would Ike

started, I'D came WILLIAM Mex.
CLAYTON, who shook hands with
US and we switched from applejaek
to the price Of gas.
Then we started up on the apple

who drives Charlie in an automobile
from Occoquan came MP and kidded
re for not showing up 10 keep q

And after that we Tried to settle
down to the business Of discussing
