happiness at the victory of the boy on

his reply to Evvy's little nurnur:

Was this big party what Envy had

nothing.
Jim was all animation now. AS

Betty and Terry didn't appear to
share in the general rejoicing, but
rather to draw close in a common
cause. Virginia also was quiet and
subdued. I wondered if she felt any

ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
The Sailor and Prejudice.
BY Beatrice Fairfax

The Sailor and Prejudice.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I would like to
know how the public of today regard
the sailor, and can he ask tho com
pany of good home people.
I have recently met young lady
whom I admire very much and she
has asked me to her home, but can
not bring myself to ask her to go out
with me. as 1 have no civilian clothes
and do not know how she would re-
gard the man in uniform. That is, to
be seen in public with him. The
young lady in question is a relative
of a very dear friend of mine, who
lives in my home town. Do you think
I have the right to ask her. or will it
cause comment?. A Jackie.
Possibly there was once a certain
amount of prejudice against the sailor
It was based on the fact that all peo-
pie of rowing life and without home
| and backgrounds are likely to grow
| careless and indispensable. The mere
fact that this girl has asked you to
| her home, proves that she is ready
| out you are. likely to hurt and puzzle
her. The prejudice against the sailor
| lad surely persisted in the war, and
| soldiers and sailors won the recognl-
| ton their fine work deserves.
| With only one more day for voting,
! the straw vote which has recently
been taken in New Haven shows Sem
| ator Harding leading Governor Cox
| by a total of 2, 655 to S25. The League
| of Nations has been showed under,
but the voters favor light wines and
beers

LITTER IN PARKS EXPENSIVE
(New York Sun)


 Between S20O and $250 a day is spent by the park department gathering up litter in Manhattan alone, says Francis D. Gallatin, park commissioner. Be- sides the trucking item, there are 40 men at S5 a day who spend their time gathering up paper and picnic party refuse.
 For it's size, New York is much be- low the usual in the amount of park space. This space must, therefore, be used so intensively that the freedom allowed in the parks of smaller and less constructed western cities is i'm possible here. Then, too. because all our parks. even Central park, are high ly artificial, their preservation requires greater care on the part of the public.
 If the money now spent in repairing our public garden spots could be used constructively, the parks, according to Commissioner Gauatin, could outrauk those of any other city of the world. Central park driveways will lead the world for quality when they are com pleted. They are calculated to last l5
