ttion she ID accepting. not because
he is amusing or oon1penienable or
because she admires his solid quali-
ties but because he spends more
money In entertaining her than
other young men spend.
Competitive Spending
As no secret is made of this by
anybody, and as tho boys thorough
ly understand and accept the stand
ards that the girls set up. they ma
turally compete with each other as
spenders. They know that to spend
freely-to act on fifteen dollar
salary as though one had q bottom
less purse-makes one more deslr.
able than any personal quality can.
And, naturally. the most desired
young man secures the favor. of the
prettiest and most desirable girl.
There are many sweet. unselfsh
young girls who have never stopped
to think what a sordid, greedy thing
they are doing. That is why l am
putting it into words for them now.
But selfish and unselfish alike, they
all expect, when the days work in
the home or the office is over, and
the refreshing spectacle of q young
man apiece appears on the horizon,
to be taken "out" for the evening.
And we all know how far "out" it
is possible to go without spending
jingling succession of dimes and
quarters or even dollars.
The most conservative "spender"
knows the least he can do is to take
! the girl to the moving pictures and
l'that she will expect ice cream sodas
both before and after. Even this
modest outlay, repeated at least five
nights Il week, will consume at least
half his salary. And If the really
! riotous and SNOWY "spender," the
one whom the girls most admire and
applaud and display their smiles
for. keeps out OF the treacherous
slough of debt l am greatly sur
prised.
Boys WHO Cannot Spend
Meanwhile what of the young
mon who have really serious obli-
| cations, who are helping to support
an infirm parent or young brothers
and sisters and whose income so
evenly matches their outgo that
there is practically nothing left over
| for theatres and ice cream? Are
| they to suffer social ostra cism be-
cause of their very decency and
responsibility and to be despised by
thoughtless, greedy girls because
| they cannot enter the silly spend
! ing game?
| II is quite likely that many girls
will seriously ask me what alterna-
| tive l propose. They will ask me
if l advocate the giving up of their
men friends altogether. Walking
up and down the street together
! isn't possible, they will remind me,
and there is no refuge. from the

way thester that doesn't involve

No, I do not suggest the renounc-
ing of ali social lifo. And should
not expect Highteen nnd Nineteen
to listen to mo for q moment IL
urged that 1t Ii possible to have dis
traction without going "out" for 1t.
will confess that It does seem
to me more wise and reasonable
for girls and boys to meet in groups
at each others houses for fudge
parties or Welsh-rabbit parties, or
whatever they like. than always to
go out in pairs to places Of public
amusement. There is no question
but that this is cheaper way of
being amused and I think also a
wholesomer.
But know that Eighteen will
tell me that her older sister re-
tains a, nightly monopoly of the
parlor, and Nineteen will protest
that her father objects to noisy
young people in the house; and
that they are both in cordial
secret agreement that there is no
fun" to be had unless one leaves
ones family behind one. So I will
not press the point It's very old
fashioned advice and / should have
Alo hope VI ItS DelIlB dQODteQ.
But l do urge a revival of the
Dutch treat" system. Why not
make it a fashion for the girls and
young men to divide UP the ex-
penses of any entertainment that
| they share? Have a good time
without greedily draining the pock-
etbooks of the unfortunate youths
| of your acquaintance. If even n
| dozen girls should think this over
and discuss it and decide to con-
duct themselves as I have suggested
! think they would be delighted
with the result and L should hope
to hear about it.
The pay-as-s od-enter principle
| applied to youthful amusements
certainly wouldn't reduce q girls
| list of men friends. 1t would re-
lieve her of the sense of guilt which
she must surely suffer at times
because of eating and drinking up
so much of her friends earnings,
1t would lead girls to look for
something else than an extravagant
spending capacity in the boys and
men whose escort they accept. Who
! knows how many irresistibly de-
ightful youths there may be whom
a painful shortage of cash, or at
least an inability always to pay
for two. at present keeps out of the
running? And the new system
should reveal them.
| Personally l like always even tc
pay my own street carefare. I am
not sympathetic with the conven-
| ton which sanctions my acceptine
sundry nicke.s from men whom
! may have met only the instant be-
fore. But l don't ask any girl to
be an extremist in this matter. |

Berlin, Jan. 6.-Polish troops
have occupied the railway station at
Chroschnik. four miles from Bent
schen, and have sent an. ultimatum
to the German commander in, the
latter place demanding that he sur
render. The demand has been refus-
ed, and the Germans will defend
Bentschen at all costs. according to
the Tageblatt.
(Bentschen is a town near the
boundary between the provinces Of
Posen and Brandenburg and is about
forty-three miles southwest of Po-
sen)
Capture of Bentschen by the Poles
would be most serioush for Berlin
and all of Northern Germany. Its
loss to the Poles would cut COM
munication between Berlin and Sile-
sia, and would endanger the provi-
sioning of Frankfort the Oder
and all of Northern Germany.

Wireless Phone to
Europe in Few Weeks

London, Jan. 6.-We will be talk-
ing across the Atlantic ocean by
wireless telephone by the time the
peace treaty is signed, according 10
Godfrey Isaacs, managing director
of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph
Company.
"One day in the not distant fu-
ture," he said, I'VE will walk about
with wireless telephones attached to
our bodies. and will be able to call
UP q friend. say from Picadilly cir
Gus, who is flying somewhere. Or
one may have a wireless telephone
invitation from friend flying in
France to join him at dinner.
1T will not be very long before
one will be able to sit at ones desk
in London and speak to New York
practically instantaneously. 1t will
be quite as easy to speak with Paris
Rome, Amsterdam, Moscow. sydney,
Melbourne or New Zealand.
1--WE are arranging for large or
ganizations where we shall always
be in wireless telephone communi-
cation with airships, to keep them
informed concerning meteorological
conditions"
Cheapening and quickening of
news transit and expediting of trade
and industry are among the imme-
diate results predicted by Isaacs.

SteeHOn NeUS
COUNCIL TO HOLD
A BIG SESSION
Will Name Chief of Police,
Fire Chief and Two
Assistants.

The Borough Council will hold a
session this evening. which promises
to be an interesting one. The mat
ter of greatest Importance will be
the confirmation of II. p. Longnaker
as chief of police. Longnaker was
named as chief by the Council police
committee to succeed Victor Grove,
whose resignation took effect Janu-
ary ]. In spite of the fact that
Longnaker has had eight years eX-
perience as chief of police and en-
joys the confidence of the people at
large as being capable of handling
the position, there is present feel
ing of regret on the part of many
that the resignation Of Grove was ac-
cepted Under his care the local po-
lice department reached a high state
of efficiency and the work of the
police during the past year has been
marvellous, considering the fact that
only seven officers had to take care
of the town. with a population of
over 10000 and that population made
up of large portion of habitual law
breakers. That Chief Longnaker
knows the need of n greater and
larger police force is shown by the
fact that during previous term he
made the request Cor more men,
which request. of course, was re-
fused by Council. as has every SINH
lar request made by Grove.
At this evenings meeting the chief
of the fire department also will be
named. All indications are that the
present chief will be "eturneG to Of
fee. the position having been filed
by him satisfactorily. Two assistants
also will be named.
The police committee will rec00
mend the permanent appointment OF
night sergeant. a position now
temporarily held by Officer Bauer
meister. The police report Of 1913
will be presented this evening by
Victor Grove.
