Don't save for q rainy day"
 That isn't the forward looking. empire building spirit of America.
 Save so that there won't be any "rainy days"
 That is the philosophy of optimism, the kind of thinking that is going to make you happy and make your old age period Of fullest enjoyment.
 Don't save as a dull, hateful duty.
 Save because. by saving, you can win the delights of competence.
 Save so that you can afford, little later, to buy something you want very much, for example-the automobile you are walking for to-day.
 Saving leads to temperance in all things. to constructive thinking. to clean living, to building for the flu ture.
 Start your mind going along saving lines and then watch 1t travel. It will take your fattening pocket book along with it.
 Let's pull together to produce more, to eliminate waste. to save and to invest in War Savings Stamps.
 Don't be Quitters. Be savers, and learn the joy of saving.

NEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
My home Is in a very
part of the city. NY II

My home is in a very quiet
part of the city. Ny friends
accept as q matter of course that
the boys should take them to and
from parties.
Up to this time my father has
accompanied me, but as he is now
out of the city and unable TO do so.
would 1t not be proper for me to
accept the company OF my boy
friends?
Mother thinks that at the age OF
fourteen l am too young to do this,
but 1 do not like the idea of my
mother coming alone, for me, at II
o'clock. / am never farther than
six blocks from home. What do you
think l should do? Your little
friend, H. A.
am sure your mother would pre-
fer to come for you even at that
hour than to have you escorted
home by boys. I think the walk
would be easier than the worry il
she were sitting at home, vcnder-
ing why you we're q few minutes
late. If your father is to be out ri
the city only a short time. yoI
might forego one or two or all :he
parties until his return, knowing
that this little self-sacrifice was
helping your mother Is there 10
other male relative who could look
after you in your fathers absence?

Districts New Year Present.

The District governments New
Year present is FRANCIS H. STE
PHENS as corporation counsel in
succession to CONRAD SYME. And
the appointment is acclaimed by all
as a deserving recognition and pro-
motion for a mighty able man. For
many years assistant corporation
counsel, Mr.. STEPHENS has a
more intimate knowledge of munich
pal laws and regulations than any
other man. He is not SNOWY" but
for solid gray matter and legal
knowledge he ranks above the aver
age.
1t is likewise satisfactory to Dis
trict people that a District man was
chosen. Political and Congressional
pressure rather than merit too often
prevail in naming appointees to
local positions. Whenever they are
able to act without pressure the
Commissioners apply the merit test
to appointments.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

an ideal woman. She suggested that

caused me much grief, as the girl
OF my heart after learning OF my
supposed death. married another.
Having decided to put this girl out
OF my thoughts for all time, I de-
cided to move to Washington and
accept a position with the Shipping
Board.
By mere chance in walking the
main thoroughfare of this city
met my former love. After a hasty
conversation we both realized that
we could not live apart from each
other. She insists that she will
obtain a divorce as her husband
does not care for her. She has
invited me to visit her at her home.
Please advise me, Miss Fairfax. for
my heart is breaking and I want
her to be mine. c. P. NJ.
II you are to gain your desires,
the best thing you can do is to
refrain from compromising this
young married woman by calls at
her home. otherwise the husband
and not she may consider he has
cause for divorce. Your case is a
very tragic one, but there is no
sense in making it any worse. Let
her do her best to secure her
freedom in the quietest manner
possible, but don't turn a tragedy
into . scandal

The Inevitable Question
All Over Again.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am writing you about a ques-
tion that you may think is rather
silly. but I've been hearing quite
a bit Of argument about it in the
last few days. Do you think it is
wrong to allow a man kiss you
before you are engaged to him.
HOPE"
You seemed to have missed nv
long article on prcmiscuous kiss
ing and spooning. I always hest
tate to declare dogmatically that
this is wrong or right, but rather
to point out the course which is
successful, because modern young
girls seemd to be more easily i'm
pressed with things if put that
way. If you do much kissing be-
fore you are engaged, I'm not sure
that you ever will be engaged-to
that particular young man. If
you yield too much before the en-
gagement, there is seldom any en-
gagement. You know they say
that men seldom marry the girls
they kiss-but that failure is not
the girls fault.

About Your Flivver Tags.

Of $4,000 automobile owners
in the District, about 5000 have
waited too late to get their tags.
WADE COOMBS will probably
recommend to the Commission
ers a few days of grace without
penalty. 1t will depend upon
what they do whether you get
under the wire without trouble.
Anyhow, the grace will be short.
So your first efforts in the New
Year should be to get tags. 1t
does seem that. as the Commits
sioners permitted 1920 tags to
be used in 1919, they might re-
verse the thing and allow the
1875 to lin0er fer a short time.
