that the investigation into the high
cost Of living in the District would
not begin until next week. This was
decided at a meeting Of the committee

WORLDEXHIB|T
IN DISTRICT IS
Up IN HOUSE
John Barrett to Appear Before
industrial Arts Committee
To Urge Passage.

John Barrett, director general of
the Pan-American Union, will appear
on Wednesday next before the House
Committee on Industrial Arts and Ex-
positions to discuss the bill by Con-
gresham Davis of Minnesota, to es-
tablish in the District of Columbia
the International Exposition of the
United States OF America.
Chairman Oscar Bland of Indiana
has called a special meeting of the
committee to hear Mr.. Barrett, who
has had wide experience in such mat
tiers. The Pan-American Union rep
resents more than twenty North and
South American republics, each of
which would be expected to partici-
pate in the permanent exposition pro-
posed for the District
Congressman Fritz G. Lanham Of
Texas, member Of the Industrial Arts
and Expeditions Committee, yesterday
sent a copy of the Davis bill to Gov.
w. P. Hobby, of Texas, with the re-
quest that the governor lay the mat
ter before leaders in the Lone Star
State.
"ShouId Advise States,
"If we intend for the States to have
State buildings at the proposed ex-
position, we should let them know in
advance some of the things we pro-
pose to do" Mr.. Lanham said.
THE plan is a good one. but before
we take steps to virtually blacklist
State which does not put up a build
ing at the exposition, we should let
them have a word in the formulation
Of the legislation"
Two sites for the proposed exposi-
ton have already been proposed.
The Government owns about 500
acres of land, across the Potomac
river, near the Department of Agri-
cultures experiment station, that
could be used for the exposition
There is sufficient available land
near this site for extensions should
more land be required to carry out
the plan
Propose ARacOEtia Flats.
Another site proposed is the 1000
acre park that is being developed in
the vicinity Of what is known as
Anacostia Flats. The Government
has already expended several hundred
thousand dollars retaining this prop
erty and an additional appropriation
Of 100000 has been made by the
present Congress.
Chairman Bland suggests that
committee be named to consider sites
and make preliminary surveys be-
fore the committee makes it's final
report to Congress.
Several cities are already discussing
international expositions, and this fact
has been an incentive for the House
Committee to speed up action on the
Davis bill.

CITED BARRIERS FAIL
IN COURT

Barber shop owners summoned TO
appear before Judge Mcmahon IN
Police Court today for infringement
on the District health regulations, all
forfeited collateral which they placed
in the office of Assistant Corporation
Counsel Ringgold Hart.
This seems to be the solution made
by the owners of soda fountains and
barber shops who are brought to
court for not keeping their places in
accordance to the regulations. Not
one of those summoned has faced
trial in Police Court yet, and every
day. more money is being forfeited.

TENDERS FOR CARS
NOLONGER OFFEND

Fenderless cars have been intro
duced to Washington.
All along Pennsylvania avenue the
green cars Of the Capital Traction
Company have been running, minus
tenders, since yesterday morning.
A letter received from the traction
company by the Public Utilities Com
mission today stated that all cars
leaving the Georgetown car barn
would leave without tenders.
The fenderless cars are being given
a tryout by the commission. The
traction companies claim fenderless
cars decrease the number of accidents
The Washington Railway and EIec-
trio Company has not notified the COM
mission on what line it will run fen
derless cars.

"It brings things back sol" he managed to explain.

 "Just-just boys!" he moaned, wip- ing his eyes.
 But Lucy could not smile at all; she was beginning to look indignant. "E can forgive that poor Fred Kinney she said. He's just blundering--but George-oh, George behaved out rageously"
 She came and sat upon the arm of his chaiS.A Papa, why should George behave like that?"
 He's sensitive."

happy. We won't urge you if you'd really rather not"
 q really wouldn't" he said content edly.
 Half an hour later George was pass ing through the upper hall, In bath robe stage of preparation for the eve ning's gayeties, when he encountered his Aunt Fanny. He stopped her. Look here" he said.
 What in the world is the matter with yeu?" she demanded, regarding him with little suitability. You look as if you were rehearsing for villain in play"
 yielding to the request; on the con- trary, it's somberness deepened. q suppose you don't know why father doesn't want to go tonight" he said solemnly.

 ''He doesn't want to go because he doesn't like this man Morgan. Look here. what makes you and-and ev- erybody so excited over him?"
 Excited r" she jeered. "Can't people be glad to see an old friend without silly children like you having to make q to-do about 1t? I've just been in your mothers room suggest ing that she might give little dinner for them"
 'For who?"
 sFor whom, Georgiel For MT Morgan and his daughter"
 Look here!" George said quickly Don't do thatl Mother mustn't dc that. It wouldn't look we'll"
 Wouldn't look we'll r" Fanny mocked him; and her suppressed ve- hemence betrayed surprising acerb- ity. "See here, Georgie Minafer, suggest that you just march straight on into your room and finish your dressing! Sometimes you say things that show you have a pretty mean little mind !"
 George was so astounded by this : outburst that his indignation was de layed by his curiosity. "Why, what upsets you this way?" he inquired.
 sI know what you mean" she said her voice still lowered, but not de creasing in sharpness. You're trying to insinuate that I'd get your mother to invite Eugene Morgan here on my account because he's widower!

Isn't he worth worshiping? Just look at him!"
 "Oh, Pm not going to argue with you about George!" said Miss Fanny. Pm fond enough of him, for that matter. He can be charming, and he's certainly stunning looking, if only"
 ''Let the if only go, dear" Isabel suggested good-naturedly. Lets talk about that dinner you thought l should"
 'I?" Miss Fanny interrupted quick ly. "Didn't you want to give it your self?"
 ''Indeed I did, my dearw said Isa- bel heartily. q only meant that un- less you had proposed 1t perhaps I wouldn't"
 But here Eugene came for her to dance, and she left the sentence un- completed. Holiday dances can be happy for youth renewed as well as for youth in bud-and yet it was not with the air of a rival that Miss Fanny watched her brothers wife dancing with the Widower. Miss Fanny's eyes narrowed a little, but only as if her mind engaged in a hope full calculation. She looked pleased.

why should he mind 50 furiously when the least little thing reflects upon him, or on anything or anybody con- nected with him?"
 Eugene patted her hand. That's one of the greatest puzzles of human vanity, dear; and I don't pretend to. know the answer. Tn all my life the most arrogant people that I've known have been the most sensitive. The people who have done the most in contempt of other peoples opinion, and who consider themselves the highest above it have been the most furious if it went against them. Ar rogant and domineering people can't stand the least, Gghtest, faintes breath of criticism. It just kills them"
 Papa, do you think George is ter. ribly arrogant and domneering?
 "Oh, he's still only boy" said Eu gene consolingly. There's plenty of fine stuff in him-can't help but be. because he's Isabel Ambcrson's sop."
 Lucy stroked his hair, which was still almost as dark as her own. "You liked her pretty we'll once, I guess. papa"
 q do still" he said quietly.
 "She's loyely-lovely! Papa-'s she paused, then continued-'T won der sometimes-'
 "WhatT"
 T wonder just how she happened to marry MT. Minafer."
 "Oh, Minafer's all right" said Eu- gene. He's a quiet sort of man, but he's good man and kind man. He always was, and those things count.''
 "l don't think I should have called George bad tempered" Lucy said thoughtfully. "No. I don't think he is"
 "Only when he's cross about some thing?" Morgan suggested, with semblance of sympathetic gravity.
 Yes" she said brightly, not per- ceiving that his intention was humor ous "All the rest of the time he, really very amiable. Of course he's much more perfect child the whole time than he realizesI He certainly behaved awfully tonight" She jumped up, her indignation returning. He did, indeed, and it won't do to en- courage him in it. I think he'll find me pretty cool-for a week or so p Whereupon her father suffered a re- newal of his attack of uproarious laughter.

He groaned faintly. Aren't your brother and Georgie escorts enough for you and Fanny"
 "Wouldn't you enjoy it at all?"
 "You know I don't"
 Isabel let her hand remain upon his shoulder moment longer; she stood behind him, looking into the fire, George, watching her broodingly, thought there was more color in her face than the reflection Of the flames accounted for. "Well, then" she said indulgently, "stay at home and be

move. "I don't care to dance if you"
 "No," he said, rising. "It would be better to dance." His tone was sol emn, and solemnly he departed with her from the grove. Solemnly he danced with her.
 Four times, with not the slightest encouragement, she brought him a favor: four times in succession. When the fourth came, Look here ' said George huskily. "You going to keep this up all night? What do you mean by it?"
 For an instant she seeemed con fused. "That's what cotillions are for, aren't they?" she murmured.
 "What do you mean: what they're for?"
 "So that a girl can dance with a person she wants to?"
 Georges huskineSS increased. "Well, do you mean you-you want to dance with me all the time-all evening?"
 "Well, this much of it-evidently '" she laughed.
 'Is it because you want to even things up for making me angry-I mean for hurting my feelings on the way homeY
 With her eyes averted-for girls of nineteen can be as shy as boys, sometimes -s she said, "Well you only got angry because I couldn't dance the cotillion with you. Fl didn't feel terribly hurt with you for getting angry about that!"
 ''Was there any other reason? Did my telling you I liked you have any thing to do with it?''
 She looked up gently and as George met her eyes something exquisitely touching yet queerly delightful gave him a catch in the throat. She looked instantly away, and turning, ran out from the palm grove, where they stood, to the dancing floor.
 Come onT she cried. 'Let's dancerr
 He followed her.
 "See here-I-I-" he stammered. You mean Do you"
 No, no'' she laughed. "Let's dancew
 He put his arm about her almost tremulously and they began to waltz. It was a happy dance for both of them.
 
 Christmas day is the children's, but the holidays are youths dancing time. The holidays belong to the early twenties and the teens, home from school and scollege. It Is the liveliest time in life, the happiest of the irresponsible times in life. Moth CTS echo it's appiness-nothing is like mother who has a son home from college, except another mother with q son home from college. Yet they give up their sons to the daugh- ters of other mothers, and find it proud rapture enough to be allowed to sit and watch.
 Thus Isabel watched George and Lucy dancing as together they danced away the holidays of that year into the past.
 "They seem to get along better than they did at first, those two children" Fanny Minafer said, sitting beside her at the Sharons' dance a week after the Assembly. "They seemed to be always having little quarrels of some sort at first. At least George
