DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

I have read several letters in
your columns, including U. S. Els.
rebelling against the present day
girls. l am writing just to prove
to you and the others that it is
not the quiet girl with IDEALS high
er than dances and clothes, that
wins out
In the same house with me is a
girl who is very pretty, spends
all her money on clothes, chatters
necessarily and dances almost
every night. She has company ga
lore and is never lonely, while L
l am considered not a bad looking
girl. can dance. but do not care
especially about IT. and dress plain
ly. I spend practically all of my
evenings reading, embroidering or
prscticing. and, although l enjoy
IT, do get dresdfully lonely some
times. All the young men ] have
met prefer the former type OF girl
and I have about come to the con-
clusion that the only real men are
the imaginary ones In books and
plays. 1t ls not at all an insptr-
ing mode OF existence for a young
person TO work all day and sit at
home every evening and ] should
certainly like to meet some men
like U. s. E., if they are still in ex.
istence. DREAMER.
The greatest asset a woman can
possibly have is charm. With II,
she can get away with "incessant
chatter and flighty manners.
Without it, all the culture and
common sense won't take her very
far in mems attentions. This girl
you speak of may attract men
IN spite OF the qualities which
you criticise and not because Of
them. Now, don't write back and
ask me how you can acquire
charm because it's an indeflnable
thing which a person Just has or
hasn't, like curly hair. And no
amount OF cultivation can pro-
duce II any more than a "perma-
nent wave can make really curly
locks

The Russian Engineering society
originated in August, 1918, as "The
Union Of Russian Engineers and
Technicians of the United States"
Its constitution, which formerly con-
tanned some political planks, was last
month thoroughly revised so that the
society now becomes q purely pro-
fessional body, with some fraternal
benefit features, but with, the pri-
mary purpose Of rendering technical
aid to Russia. To that end study
is being made Of American technique
in industry, and technical educational

England Becomes Primer In Handling New Situation. Turk Treaty Must Stand
 With Further Revision
By Associated Press

London. November 2S.-The British government will insist on the Creek army being maintained at it's present strength and that the Rhallis cabinet shall not include men viewed with dis favor by the allies.
 The foregoing views are set forth in a memorandum which Earl Curzon, sec retary foreign affairs, has handed to the French premiar. M. Leygues,s for persual by the French cabinet when M. Leygues returns to Paris tomorrow morning.
 Great Britain disapproves the return of Constantine to the Greek throne, being made the subpect of formal protest, but nevertheless wishes that the British views shall be emphasized to the new Creek government This is firmer attitude than the British government held few days ago, and iteis believed in conference circles that 1t will appeal to the view of the French government. It is further in terpreted as meaning that Great Bri- tain at present does not favor revision of the Turkish peace treaty.

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

THE GLORY THAT WAS CREASE When visitors in Athens
 year or two ago, Asked passers by the reason why
 The people shouted so.
 And why the flags were waving
 And why the bugles prayed,
 And everywhere a gladsome air
 Was fulsomely displayed.
 The Creeks would grin and answer,
 Our shouts and plaudits ring And we are gay because today
 We're chasing out the King"
 When visitors in Athens
 Today ask why the crowd
 In bright array makes holiday And shouts it's cheers aloud, And holds torchlight processions With every one in line,
 And gets lit up when brims the cup With good old Samian wine, Some citizens will answer,
 Good news is on the wing, Come on along and join the throng, We're welcoming our King*"
 There was a time that Athens Had statesmanship to spare, When Pericles, Demosthenes ] And Socrates were there. M We hold with MT. Byron That in that ancient time Of brains and art. to play part In Athens was sublime. But though it still reposes Upon the self same spot, From what we hear of it this year The towns gone back lot. 1 THEY NEVER DRINK IT UP THERE The state of Maine is going to use its water to produce electricity.

Fort Payne, November 2S.-(Special.)-J. Y. Curtis, secretary of the DeKalb Coun- ty Fair association, has called an impor- tant meeting of the stockholders for November %, and it is understood matters of importance pertaining to the con- tinuance of the fair will come before the meeting.
 Although there is a small debt on the property of the association and no divi- dends have been paid to the stockholders since it's organization, it is said that the sale of the property at this time would realize neat profit for the stock holders, due to the increased valuation of property in general. and the fact that the grounds are located in a desirable place for industrial homes. which are badly needed.
