To Get Manufacturers to
Washington
By EARL GOODWIN.
We Must Advertise the Merits Of Our City to the Men VIII
Money to Invest in Factories.

Men with money to invest in factories investing
their money every day in the cities that advertise their
merits
That little thought is thrown out for the benefit of the
business men of Washington who know manufacturing
plants could be started here with advantage to the investors
and to Washington.
At the time let quote from the news columns
of Sunday paper:
''TwO arguments to combat: One is belief
among business other cities that is against the
law to build factory in the District of Columbia
''The other is feeling among out-of-town manufac-
urers that the District has poor labor market for pros
pectve manufacturer to his plant FROM
There is undoubtedly much gross ignorance con-
corning Washington possible site for manufacturers
there is concerning Washington, the voteess Capital of
free nation.
To dispel this ignorance in each case must ADVER
TISE city exactly if had breakfast food to sell
We have factory site to sell and customer to find We
are not going to find outside manufacturer merely by
talking to each other about advantages The way
will attract manufacturers here is to advertise our merits
among the men who are hunting for place to locate.
There many ways to advertise-some wise and many
foolish ways But the way NOT to advertise merely by
passing resolutions here in Washington

Beatrice Fairfax Writes the Problems and Pitfalls
Especially for Washington Women
TODAY'S TOPIC
THE SOLDIERS DREARY EVENINGS

my family have been discussing and
delving into the real reason why
young girls and even older women
dress as they do. Does every girl
try to wear the very latest thing
in styles just in order to keep up
with her girl friends who are doing
so, or is IL because they wish to at
tract the men?
Being a girl myself, I naturally
endeavor to uphold my sex, but ]
must admit that it is a very diff
cult task at times, especially when
you walk along one of Washing
toms main streets some Sunday
afternoon or even at 4:30 when the
departments are pouring forth their
human flood, and see those poor fool
ish creatures hobbling along on
three-inch heels and in almost three
inch skirts with their shoulders all
hunched forward as though they
were trying to make their shOuldNr
blades meet in front.
From my own experience I am
inclined TO say that the individual
girl doesn't want any other to sur
pass her in the very latest styles,
and that is the reason she so often
makes such an outlandish appear
anCe when she might otherwise
have been a very pretty and at
tractive girl. 1t is a sort of Keep
ing up with the Joneses" in my
mind
But the male members Of my fam
lily vigorously protest that girls do
so to attract men, although they do
admit that they want to look - ter
than the other girl all the tin. out
only So that they will be the most
attractive in the mans eye. If girls
think that such freaks as some OF
them look to be will call forth any
admiration from a sensible man
well. I think they should see a brain
specialist at once.

MARY.
This subject is as old as time,
do women dress to please them
selves or to ensnare men? Frank
ly, it is beyond the modest pow
ers of this newspaper woman to
decide, and l frankly turn the
mooted question over to my cor
respondents for discussion. Be-
fore doing so l should like to
offer a few generalities to the
effect that the modern fashions
may be all that Mary says in
the way of discomfort and gen.
eral hideousness, but the girl who
falls far behind them is apt to
walk out without a "beau." Men
claim a monopoly of all the
brains, why do they design such
bedlamite styles for women. for,
of course, all the successful de-
signers of women's clothes are
men.

90 many soldier boys and lone
some girls in office write to
me about their dreary even
ings that it is a pleasure to pub
lish Mrs. Genevieve Turner Hol-
mans letter in this column.
Mrs. Holman is the director Of
social recreation of the War Camp
Community Service and the pro-
gram she sets forth is enough to
make soldier and war-worker far
from home take heart and go in
quest of jolly evening.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I read your articles in The Times
about social activities for young
women war workers in the city
and also letters from girls saying
that they are lonesome for social
life.
I have charge Of dances and par
ties for enlisted men in the d. c.
War Camp Community Service and
wish 20 tell you Of the opportu-
nifty l have for young women.
which gives them a most interest
ing social experience.
A group of young women from
various departments has composed
class for leaders in social recre-
alton. We have given them a
course in the teaching Of dancing
to men in uniform who are begin
ners, and also a course in games
and stunts and ideas for parties
for those who do not care to dance.
or for Sunday afternoon parties in
which there is no dancing. These
teaching large classes of men and
have given instruction to similar
groups by appointment and have
taken charge OF parties given in
our War Camp Community Service
clubs for men in uniform.
For instance. under the super
vision Of one Of these young wom-
en-, who is employed in the ord
nance department. a chafng- dish
party has been held every Monday
night for the last two months. She
invites from ten TO fifteen young
women who are interested in the
project to come with her and bring
their chatting dishes and materials
for either Welsh rabbit or fudge.
During the evening, while some of
the girls Officiate at the chatting
dishes. others lead in games and
talk with the men. while still others
dance in the center of the room,
from which chairs and rugs are re-
moved. In this way from fifty TO
sixty men in uniform are enter
tained during the evening.
Some Of them come in for a short
time and then go to other appoint
mcnts; others remain for the entire
evening. Most Of them arc in Wash
ington for a few days only, and Ii
may be their first and perhaps last
visit to their Capital City. Many
are from overseas, and some have
been wounded or have suffered in
jury which prevents participation
in more active or vigorous recre-
alton.
The girls have found a delightful
appreciation on the part of the boys
in having the surprise of a party
being brought right to them in their
clubrooms. They are enthusiastic
over the social service they have
thus given, as well as the good times
that they themselves have. They
find il a more delightful way OF

He Told OF His Escnpade.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Will you please give me a little
advic? While l was away for a
weekend my husband and a friend
OF his went out for the day in an
auto, and as they were riding
around they passed by two girls
who smiled, and of course they
asked the girls il they wanted to
go for a ride, and the girls accept
ed. Now my husband declares they
tried to kiss the girls but the girls
wouldn't let them. But he told the
one who was with him that he was
married. Would you think any nice
girl would have kept on riding with
them under the circumstances?
The girls are two war workers
here and they were walking in the
Zoo last Sunday when they met my
husband and his friend Do you
think il is any harm for my hus-
band to be running out with girls?
II l happen TO be in the same posi-
sition he would want to leave me.
He says a man can do so much
more than a woman, and besides
there is no equal rights as yet
Now Miss Fairfax please let me
know what you think of a husband
that deliberately tells his wife OF
such escapades as that. They were
also taking pictures. which the
girls gave my husband to have de-
velOped.
A. YOUNG MOTHER
You are certainly worrying
yourself uselesSly, my dear girl,
over this harmless little escapade
of your husbands. AS long as he
told you all about it don't you see
how innocent it was? Next time
when he confdes in you don't make
such a fuss or he might not con-
tinue that excellent habit of con-
fiding. And its the measles that
won't come out that are danger
Gus. Don't cts discuss the "War
Workers" who flirted and were
"picked up" they were in great
luck that they fell into such good
hands, sometimes they don't
