WHO REMEMBERS?

When jefferson was President he
used to 60 right out behind the
White House and take a swim al
most every evening. The Potomac
was then where Potomac Park is
now. Great focks of wild fowl rest
ed on the river within sight of the
Executive Mansion, and still greater
flocks of mosquitoes made the occu-
pants of the White House wish that
Washington had chosen a hilltop for
his house instead of a swamp. The
croaking of frogs in those days used
to disturb the Cabinet meetings, and
it was not uncommon to kill a water
moccasin on the White House
grounds.
Now the. river has been pushed

DEAR BEATRICE FAIRFAX:

I am just 21 and in love with a
man 10 years my senior. He has
never told me that he loves me
but when tell him that 1 love him
he just laughs and does not take me
seriously. How shall 1 make him
understand? We eat breakfast and
dinner together every day. At
least he eats. I'm not very hungry
any more. oh please tell me what
to dC"
A WAR WORKER.
/ don't know anything I'd rather
do than give you a good spanking.
Of course he laughs. All men laugh
when a woman tells them she
loves. The only time they get Sc
rious is when they love. Stop
throwing yourself at his head and
eat your dinner. The quickest way
to lose any man is to be all pale
and forlorn. Where's your spunk?
Get that back and stop wearing
your heart on your sleeve. Then
maybe the gentleman will begin
to show signs of interest.

A WAR WORKER.
Real Love Is
More or Less Blind


DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have been going with a young
man who Is just about two inches
shorter than I am. or course when
I wear high heels, I am at least a
half q head taller. / am also fond
Of dancing and he does not dance.
Otherwise I am very fond of him.
He ask ed me to marry him. Do you
think / could be perfectly happy
with him, taking this into consider
alton? / don't mind the dancing so
much as the difference in our
heights. Do you think other
things in life will make up for
this should ! consent to marry him?
I am 81 and he is &c and neither
OF US have any relatives.
MARION.
perfect happiness" is a thing
given to few mortals. Likewise no
marriage is happy without love
and all too few with it. II you
loved this man, you wouldn't care
whether he were long or short;
you'd wear low heels and you'd
rather be sitting out a dance with
him than dancing with Vernon
Castle. When a woman's in love
she is blind to all the considera-
tions you cite. When she isn't, she
ought not to contemplate marriage.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

LEAN MISS FAlRFAS:
1 would like to ask you a ques-
ton, in regards to a number of
love affairs in which my friend
and I are involved.
We have met quite an number
OF girls since We have stationed
in Washington, and 1t seems that
every girl we meet falls in love with
us. Now what is II that seems to
be an attraction that draws these
young girls to us? They also seem
to look forward for a word of ad-
vice and also are quite willing to
marry US the next time we see
them.
Can IT be our personality or the
way we carry ourselves! We are
considered rather good singers
and almost every place we go we
usually sing and OF course get
good reception. Can that be
another cause?
TWO HAPPY MARINES.
Pm printing this letter NOT
for the benefit of the conceited
young puppies who wrote it but
so that some of my girl readers
can take a peep at the masculine
point of view of the girls who
rush" the boys they meet at the
first or second meeting.

Winter Winds Kill
Summer Friendships

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX;
am as usual one of the many
who is compelled to turn to you
for advice. I am a girl II, who
does not care for fellows or have
anything to do with them much.
It was this summer that / went
to Boston for my vacation and met
a fellow whom I loved dearly. He
took me to a dance and when the
time came for me to return to
Washington, telephoned him
"Good-by." When 1 arrived home
sent him a letter telling him of
my arrival. He did not answer
and l would love TO correspond with
him. Is there anything else could
do to gain his friendship?
HEARTBRoKEN.
This sort of thing happens
over and over in vacation friend
ships. Two people meet and
seem to mean a great deal to
each other. Then the vacation
ends and each one takes up life
as it was before. Very often,
more S the pity, the young man
forgets. You are delightfully."-
young and there are lots Of nice
boys right here at home. I would
not waste even a postage stamp
on this Boston boy.

At Vienna, Va, and Fairfax Court
house, Va, on Tuesday, soldiers who
had been in Europe were refused the
American privilege and RIGHT of
casting ballots because they had not
paid a poll tax. How in the name
of Patrick Henry could they pay a
poll tax when they were fighting in
Europe. Looks like some Of Vir-

RATIF|ES
COVENANT
BY ROYAL DECREE
Action Contemplates Steps
Necessary for Putting Pact
Into Effect-Three Coun-
tries Adopt 1t.

Paris, Oct. 7.-(Havas.) - King
Victor Emanuel of Italy signed .
royal decree ratifying the German
and Austrian treaties yesterday, ac-
cording to 4 Milan dispatch to the
Eclair.
Ratification of the German treaty
by the royal decree Of the king Of
Italy virtually completes the steps
necessary for putting into effect the
pact between Germany and the al
lied powers which was signed at
Versailles on June 28, and which
stipulated it would become opera
tive when ratified by three Of the
great powers.
The British parliament has already
ratified the treaty and the document
now awaits only the signature of
King George before becoming ef-
fective in Great Britain.
Approval was given the conven-
ton by the French chamber of dep
uties last week and the senate is ex-
pected to take similar action Friday
or Saturday. The royal decree OF
the Italian monarch must secure ap-
proval from the next parliament,
which will meet at Rome on Decem-
Der l, but it is considered certain
there will be little trouble in Sc
curing concurrence.
Italy, by the reported action Of
her king, is the first of the powers
to ratify the treaty with Austria.

LABOR CONGRESS
After Perfecting an 0rganiza.
ton Industrial Conference
Gets Tangled Up and
Adjourns.

Washington, Oct. After per-
fecting dn organization today, the
industrial conference called by
President Wilson got tangled up in
its own rules and adjourned until
tomorrow.
Secretary Lane was elected per-
manent chairman. In his speech of
acceptance, he stirred the delegates
representing capital, labor and the
public to great enthusiasm by de-
claring that the high purpose OF the
gathering made failure impossible
in the effort to harmonic indus
trial relations in this country.
Proceeding to the adoption of
rules, the conference struck its
first snag in a protest by John
Spargo of New York. a representa-
tive of the public, that the report of
the rules committee made no pro-
vision for minority expression and
was "travesty" on free delibera-
jourrment of the morning session
to permit amendments to be formu-
lated by the respective groups, but
on reconyening the rules were
adopted without material change.
They provide for public sessions
aud unanimous vote by groups on
all conclusions and decisions and
require the assent OF a group be-
fore any member of it can introduce
a resolution.
Committee Is Named.
a committee of fifteen was named,
to recommend for or against all
resolutions introduced as follows:
Representing the public: Thomas
L. Chadbourne, A. A. Landon. H.

declaring the need of the industrial
situation was increased production,

and just return on capital" and that
each delegate should be guided in
his actions by the good of the coun-

interest of his particular group.
