Let Us Enter on a National Ad-
vertiSing Campaign For a
Vote Here
By EARL GOODWIN

There is considerable difference between FAVORING
a vote IN the District of Columbia and WANTING vote
For years and years many of prominent citizens
have favored VOTE but evidently did not want one hard
enough to work for it.
AND along with the standstin situation there arose
campaign for vote for the District of Columbia which had
all the elements of success right up to the point of an
actual campaign throughout the country.
But no nationwide campaign has been attempted until
recently
My advice to all those interested in getting vote for
Washington getting factories for Washington or getting
anything else is to ADVERTISE for it with the same vgor
and brains with which manufacturers and suragees adj
vertise.

Let alone what does not belong to
you, whether it's an umbrella or
someone's else husband or wife.
Frequently / am at loss to &C
count for the number of girls who
write me they are in love with
some other woman's husband.
To this problem my unfalling
answer in: please fall out Of love
as soon as you conveniently can.
To this end, you might try TO
take an interest in someone else,
someone who is unmarried. Or
sink your perplexities in some
thing impersonal, something like
a language, or a course of study.
There is no spur toward the in
telIectual life" like a broken heart,
real or imaginery. Second, and
even third rate men and women
have furnished the inspiration for
really magnificent work.
Consider the ladies who inspired
Raphael and Botticelli to paint
some of the worlds masterpieces,
Chopin wrote his broken heart IN
his music, while Milton wrote i'm
mortal verse despite three dlsas-
trous marriages.
If the realm of art is beyond
your powers, you might take up
Red Cross nursing, or 90 among
the poor and show them how to

show the man how deeply she
cares for him. ] hope she Will
continue to hesitate, and that she
will try to fill her life with some
other interests and at the same
time get another job, one that will
not bring her into daily contact
with another woman's husband.
This kind of affair never leads
to happiness for any one OF the
triangle, but frequently it lands the
innocent and the guilty in Il storm

in the right place.
Here it is:

seem a shame that these soldiers

IT on Snappy Stories. they would
discover a key to this problem.
Reading inspiratiOnal books is
the first step TO building up a
strong personality. Such literature
teaches one how to practice self
control. how to adjust yourself to
any environment or circumstance.
How to be true to yourself and
others. They will teach you how
TO eliminate from your garden of
thoughts 1.-THE weeds" called envy,
jealousy. anger. etc, and how to
develop a calm and serene mind
which is the most important asset
OF a strong personality. The lat
ter can be developed by continuous
and patient effort.
BY all means remember the gold
en- words of Shakespeare: "TO thine
own self be true, and il must
follow as the night the day. thou
canst not then be false to any

Which Does She Love Best.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
! am a young man named S. B.,
and am dearly in love with a young
lady named Katherine C. believe
she loves me, but she has never told
me so to my face, although she has
limited IL to some OF my friends.
Lately she has gone out with
young man named F. D.. and she
pays him more attention than I
think is right for one in love with
another. Please tell me what to do
IN my case. S.B.
There is really nothing to do in
your case but wait and see which
OF you the young lady prefers.
S. B. or F. D. In the meantime, S.
B., there are the old and tried ways
of making yourself agreeable with
a box of candy, a bunch of flowers
and an occasional treat to the
theater.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am girl of eighteen and have
been engaged for a couple of years
TO a man twenty-nine We are
about to be married and he has
bought a license in the name of
p, which has puzzled me. His
mother died when he was five and
his grandparents took him and
brought him up. He took their
name OF H and he still uses
H in his bushes and as
signature. But his real name is
F., that being his fathers name.
Please tell me which is the proper
name to be married under.
NJ NJ r.
If the young mans fathers
name was F., that would seem
to be his legal name without ques-
ton, unless his grandparents had
it changed to their name of H
with the necessary fOrmalities. 1t
would seem more sensible for him
to conduct his business and be
married under the same name.
Why not have him consult the
clerk of the marriage license bu-
reau in regard to this question.
Free legal advice is also given to
women at the law school of the
George Washington University,

A. WADE WELLS has brought
forward the very good suggestion
that we use a gold star on our sta

who died. He got this idea, he says,

MANN flag in the Victory Parade:
Ppm a rough neck" he says, "and
all =. nat, but believe me, that
Betty Lehman flag, with the gold
star, preceded by the rideriess
horses, made the tears come
Wells puts a gold star beside the
name of the man in his firm who
died in uniform; and he has sug-
gested that the Chamber Of Com
merce, and other trade bodies, use
on their stationery a star with the
number in the center, showing that
we will not forget the boys VINO
went from this town and who died
the most glorious Of deaths.
Ideas of this kind are wonderful
and pcLuabIe. hope that someone
acts behind this BIG one and puts ct

idea should be carried out IN a man

Mike, who struck the stony ground
in that ditch, and Pat can each earn
$50 in an infnity Of different ways
To give only three Of the simplest 50

Mike digs S, 10 or Is feet, strikes
hard pan, gets behind and threatens
to quit. Meanwhile Pat has dug ON.
Pat digs %, 26 or % feet, leaving

Each digs half Of this amount. Nike

And so on for the other ininity Of
possible answers.
BRO. MATHEMATICUSS.
+. 5. There are only ten answers
possible II they are paid by the full
loot, and not for fractions Of a foot
Mike got SIPS per foot and since
his wage was $4,000 the number Of
feet dug was so divided by lbs or
40 feet Since the ditch was 100
feet long Pat had to dig the other
90 feet. But it is not evident that
he also carried $4,000 home 10 Biddv
so let's see If he did. He got one
dollar per foot from the boss or q
total of $4,000. From this he maid
Mike 25 cents per foot dug by Nike
and since Mike dug 30 feet that
amounts to $1,000. Adding this 10
the $4,000 paid Mike BY the boss
gives Mike $4,000 and subtraeting It
from the $4,000 paid Pat leaves
$4,000. So we see that it Is an
hunkadory, which, translated from
the French, means all to the mus
tard. But it wasn't a sticker-It
was q cinch.
T. G.
: Mike dug 20 feet at 81 Der foot

OF feet he dug, A; amount he re-
ceived, $50.
Then 1oO-44= So feet. No. dug bv Pa
Now divide IS IN the proportional
rate OF rs and 81, or q and I and
we have y equals 40, ~ equal 4, as

And 80 feet at 81 per foot EQUALS 90

Ing Except Brick.

II became known today that the spe-
cial committee Of City Councilmen ap-
pointed to confer with the officials of
the Maysville Street Railroad Com
pany In regard to paving between the
rails of the car company in Market and
West Second streets, were considering
other kinds of paving beside brick
It was pointed out that in many cit
les some other kind of paving was
used between the car rails instead of
the kind used in the street proper and
as brick paving is so very costly just
now and the people in general as well
as the officials seem to want this paw
ing done this year, they are consider
ing concrete and asphalt.
An engineer representing the Street
Car Company and the Special Commit
tee have gone over the matter thor
oughly and 1t is thought that the COM
mittee and the street car company
may reach an agreement on asphalt or
concrete within few weeks.
The proposition, It is understood
will be for the city to pay part OF
the cost of construction. the company
to pay part and the balance to be
made up by subscription of property
owners living along the line of street
