The much discussed Woman's b.
reau of the Police Department offers
to operi the lid and let everyone see
what's inside. After that, no one
viii be interested. Everyone vaAtsd
to see what was inside the big Army
Tanks that trundle up and down
the streets during the Liberty
Loans. Then when everyons had q
chance to peek inside, all interest
subsi6ed.
The Womsn's Bufeau offers itself
to the Monday Evening Club which
IS TO act as an agent of publicity.
The Monday Evening Club Is one of
our leading social organisations. II
1T takes the job in the manner that
nearly all other press agents con
duct their work. il will be a booster
for the Womsn's Bureau instead of
judge.
People are interested in the bu-
reau. II it is a good thing they will
want 1t continued. Ii has many
friends, many enemies. The public
which PAYS for ii wants to
KNOW. The PUBLIC does tnot
want TO support q bureau which can
be used for unfair purposes; bot IL
DOES want to protect Washington
women and would like to handle
properly the delicate problems CON
nected with women and the police.
All of us have heard tvo sides Of
the Womans Bureau question. We
have heard of the splendid construc-
tive work II has done in helping
young women who have fallen into
trouble OF all sorts. And we have
heard charges of arrests made on
flimsy pretexts; of girls kept too
long in the House of Detention: and
of methods which savored Of the
Bastile rather than Washington,
ID. c.
IL .lIi help all Wasksroton to oct

Monday Evening Club merely boosts
the bureau atthout Lasrpq a de6rits

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
i am a girl Of seventeen, and
every young man I've been out with
and every one ] know. have always
treated me with respect but il
seems different with the married
ones. In the office where I work.
II IS very hard for me as / think
j am not respected by certain
Mr.. Married Man. He has said things
TO me which are not very nice and
when j remind him that / want re-
spect he says he does respect me,
but one day he caught me and
kissed me. Now this is just a joke
to him, but it would cost me my
job II my parents knew it, No one
knows this but US two. 7 try to be
nice to every one and like them as
i want to be liked. don't dislike
him, as no one can help from liking
him, but ] will say he is a little
fresh at times. but why is it he act.
in this manner toward me? I can't
see where ] give him any reason
for such conduct.
TROUBLED.
Married men who are not hon.
orable are always worse even than
dishonorable boys, chiefly because
they have everything to gain and
nothing to lose. There is usual
ly wife's petticoat behind which
they can hide when trouble comes.
Are you quite sure you are not
indirectly encouraging this man?
You admit to me that you like
him. Are you sure you don't show
that attitude toward him? II
you are very firm and disnifed,
I'm sure you can send him about
his business. II not, / should
consider the job well lost to get
out Of the atmosphere with such a
man. Unless you discourage him
with great finality now, YOU are
only playing with fire. Quit before
you get too interested to stop.
You know the old quotation:
"Viee is monster of SO fright
full mien that to be hated, needs
but to be seen; seen too Oft, IA
miliar with it's face. we first en-
dure-then pity-then-embraee,"
This In only one example Of what
girls are up against in business
Offices. and yet wives writ. me
that their husbands are not 10

the same time quite all right is no
easy task. They are never served
up on platters either in Washing
ton, Paris or London, and they
ought to be appreciated when they
are "discovered;" which isn't al
ways the case.

Carroll Boyd, aged six years, son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Cletis ]. Boyd Of
Elkton, was run over and killed by
an auto truck at the corner of Main
and North Streets, in that town,
Nov. 25. The lad attempted to
cross the street in front OF the heavy
machine, and becoming confused
when warning was called to him
turned back and was struck and
knocked down. One of the rear
wheels passed over the little fellow 8
back, fatally crushing him. The un-
fortunate lad was hurried to Union
hospital, but died as he was placed
upon the operating table. A Cor
oner's jury was summoned and after
hearing the testimony OF eyewitness
es to the effect that the truck was
moving slowly, and that the lad had
run directly in front Of it, rendered a
verdict: "That Carroll Boyd came to
his death by being struck by an auto
truck at North and Main streets,
Elkton, driven by B. Howard Brown,
OF Chesapeake City, and that said
Coroner's jury exonerates B. Howard
Brown from all blame"

was riding on Sunday afternoon, and
badly injured. The accident happen
ed in front Of the residence of Scott

fallen to the ground. The young
mans shoulder was dislocated and he
received a bad cash under the chin,

close. He was otherwise badly cut
and bruised, being pretty thoroughly

Cayeat To win Filed.

Hope HI. Barroll, an attorney Of
Chestertown, has filed q fourth
caveat to the will OF his aunt, the
late Miss Sarah Ellen Barroll, of
Elkton. The first caveat was fled
by Hope Barroll, J. Leeds Barroll
and Morris X. Barroll, and second
caveat was fled by Hope H. Barroll.
Issues on these two caveats were
sent to the Circuit Court for Cecil
County for trial. 1t was later moved
to Caroline County Court at Denton.
When they came up for trial the
caveators withdrew the suit without
prejudice to their case. Afterwards
j. Leeds Barroll filed the third
caveat to the same will, and now
Hope H. Barroll files the fourth
,caveat to the will. The will bears
date of May %, 1919, and the
caveators allege that Miss Barroll
was mentally incompetent at that
time to make will, and that the al
legged will was procured by undue in
fluence. The beneficiaries under the
will are the three daughters of the
testator's deceased sister, namely:
Mrs. Henrietta Lamdin, of near Port
Deposit; Misses Laura and Victoria
lamar, Of Elkton. The estate Of the
deceased is valued at less than $10,-
900. Should the will be set aside
the caveators would be entitled to
about one-third of the estate.

law DELAYS A Honeymoon.

llftW OGktAyS N AAOAkOJ AAAOS->s
The hand of the law delayed the
wedding trip of Franklin Wheeler
and his bride, formerly Miss Jennie
Turner, both of Oxford, Pa, who
were married here on Wednesday, by
Rev. George P. Jones, pastor OF the
Methodist Church. The couple made
the trip from Oxford to Elkton in an
automobile, driven by their chauf-
feur. When near Bacon Hill their
car was running a short distance
behind another car, bearing a Mary
land license. Hearing machine
blowing back of him, the chauffeur
of the Oxford car pulled to the side
of the road and the other passed.
81 A few seconds later the car that
had passed them and which proved
to be that of Harry l.. Harvey, OF
North East, it is alleged, crashed into
the head car, throwing it into an en-
bankment aad smashing it so it
would not run. Noticing that Har-
vey failed to stop, the chauffeur OF
the car containing the wedding
couple decided to follow and see that
justice was meted out to the oper-
ator.
He reported the affair to the
officials here, whereupon the we'd
ding couple were summoned as wit
nesses. They had their ceremony
performed, but could not start on
their honeymoon trip until after a
hearing was given Harvey by Justice
Lewis.-Cecil Democrat.
