DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Having read the good advice you
have given others. I wish you to
advise me on a little matter. Is it
proper for an engaged couple to
sit In a room without a light, the
light being in the next room and
the door open? And is 1t proper
for the girl to stay overnight at
his house at his mothers request,
he having no sisters.
ENGAGED.
/ wish young folks would get
over the idea of having rules and
regulations for every word and
every action. Half the time, all
that Is necessary is to have good
motives and act natural. 1t might
be very improper to sit alone in
the dark, but 1t could also be en-
tirely proper. depending much on
the young people, their motives
and standards. Sitting in the
cleaning has been the practice Of
lovers since the beginning Of time
and dim lights have probably al
ways been one of Cupid's strongest
allies. II your parents are will

DC. HOG FARM
THING OF PAST
Plan of Feeding Garbage to
Porkers Abandoned,
Though Success.

Raising hogs on garbage is profit-
able for anybody but the District
government, Morris Hacker, head
of the District street cleaning de-
partment. said last night, in ex-
planning why the hog farm which
he directed at Blue Plains, D. c..
last summer would be empty this
summer and probably never will be
run under District supervision
again.
Hogs raised on the farm last
summer were sold for $4,000. the
proceeds were sold for $4,000, the
Golfers OF the United States Treas
ury. The money for the establish
ment of the farm came out OF a
District appropriation. Neither the
government nor the District lost
through the farm, as the amount
for which the hogs were sold was
practically the same as that set
aside in the appropriation.
Hacker is contented that the ex-
periments conducted by the District
were successful. He said last night
that the farm was originated for
experimental purposes.

BRYAN WOULD
BAR STRIKES
Prohibition Of Walkouts
And Lockouts While
Probed, He Urges.

Prohibition of all strikes and
lockouts during a Temporary period
of investigation" by a national
board was proposed to the Senate
Labor Committee yesterday by
William J. Bryan to bring indus
trial peace.
The board should be established
permanently by law, Bryan urged,
and include one representative each
for employers. employees and the
public. Two more members would
be added temporarily during con-
sideration Of each individual case.
Bryan read to the committee from
an article written by Frank p.
Walsh. former joint chairman of the
National War Labor Board. Walsh
proposed a Constitution of indus
trial principles" to be promulgated
by the government as a basis for
relations between capital and Ia
Dor. The plan outlined a series OF
principles to govern in industrial
disputes which the War Labor
Board tried out.
Bryan indorsed the plan in part.
Representatives of organized la
bor attended the hearing and gave
close attention to Bryan.

This plan is necessary. It was
pointed out, because of the short

get such q measure through in that
length of time.
Without some legislation, II was
pointed out, such a contingency as
the resignation of the entire school
board would precipitate a crisis in
the District schools. The District
