He Is Even More Vitriohc
Than "Happy and Unmarried

MY DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
. 1t is indeed an unfortunate and
deplorabIe condition of affairs when
the young women OF America must
rely upon wax and paint to lure a
man into their company. Unhappy
as this condition may be, II Is
nevertheless true, and lamentation
over such a condition will not alter
it
An analysis OF tho causes OF this
depraved condition would undoubt-
edly reveal many interesting facts.
but / shall leave that to my friends
of education and sociology. since
such an analysis would be too
lengthy and out Of place At this
time.
In passing, I feel impelled to re-
mark that much unjust censure
and reprobation has been heapcd
upon the heads OF the young men.
Unfortunately / am compelled to
admit that young men. Unfortu-
nately l am compelled to admit
that approximately So per cent of
our young men are more interested
In women than In any other sub
ject. But II is also true that IL
is not totally the fault Of the young
men alone. Many women are, to
great degree. the tempters and
stimulators OF the lower desires
and ideals OF men by their unrc-
lenting indulgence in artificial
modes of "beautincation." 1t is
very easily remarked that men
should have more twill power
but can a man have much will
power when at every angle and at
all times he Is surrounded by a
'barage OF silk stockings. tempting
smiles, flirting eyes, and even
beckoning nods7
Most human beings are apt to be
too critical without much premsdi-
tated thought The girl who de-
pends upon her intellectual charm,
her poise and grace. without the
use OF artificial adornment Is, as
a rule, most successful in the end.
For the girls wnJ continually de-
pend upon artificial adornment
have nothing to say. ] know " Is
useless. Their rouge and powder
and llpsticks and chin messages Sc
cure for them their desired results,
namely, a well-dressed, scatter
Drained, curb comedian, whose only
asset is his ability to shake a
wicked knee" II these girls,
through observance and advise
from those who have paid the
9wful price, are unable to discover
that dire misery and wretch edness
such companionship breeds, then
their case Is hopeless. / wish them

The Weakness in White House
Selections of District
Commissioners
By BILL PRICE.

The weakness in White House selections of District
Commissioners is that the people here have not had the
slightest opportunity to express themselves by direct vote
anything resembling They write the President in
behalf Of they favor and sometimes delegation sees
him personally to offer suggestions The President who
ever he may be, understands fully that these recon-
mendaons do not voice sentiment expressed at the ballot
box.
Twice in recent years there have been fights the
eligibility of nominations by the President and they are
likely to again These contests could not have been
waged before Senate committees had there been law
granting the citizens Of Washington vote like other free
men for their choice to fill vacancies the
President accept that choice unless he knew OF grave
objections to the contrary Such law still possible, would
require strain upon Congress to work out great nan
cia cost holding elections and would at least make men
and here think themselves good as Fipinos,
Porto Ricans and other ertorials who enjoy suffrage
rights by act of Congress.
second thought is that if the Senate committee wants
to know what the of Washington the nomination
pending before something like test might be had by
inviting the three trade bodies and all citizens associations
to vote the subject under methods guaranteeing fair
and square expression of the membership 1t might be
somewhat irregular but would nevertheless come close to
representing public sentiment
Friends and opponents of DR.. VAN SCHAICK could
wen agree to this
third matter is that concerning the eligibility clause
Tor Commissioners The law this subject is follows:
their s be- Of hs iT 1ns s s s ha i s 5 5 ai
Of Coiumbia for three
before their appointment and have during that period claimed resi-
s % s and % Of as ies @ I nas b.
If this law is not clear explicit enough if it has
defects then the civic bodies of Washington ought to get
together agree just what they want and submit pro-
posed amendments to Congress The interpretations to
its application that it ought to be possible for
an agreement by leading civic organizations to what is
desired. That might lots of time in Congress- in the
courts and elsewhere conserve energy and prevent rta
tons of no benefit to harmonious community life

Sardining Women In Cara

ESTELLE HARRIS, OF Mt Rainier.
relates that one morning recently
she boarded a car from Hyattsville
on which the conductor registered
1853 fares by the time lexington was
reached. She was badly wedged in
against the handle that opens the
car door and it was impossible to
move at the request Of the conductor
until others moved.
An assistant to the conductor told
her that il she did not move he
would have to wedge this handle
in your back" She escaped possible
injury owing to the fact that the
car swayed and enabled her 10 move
few inches.

1t seems too bad to have to
preach to a girl who has had such
an unfortunate experience as this,
but it all goes back to the folly
and absurdity of flirting. This
girl met this man as she was
leaving the theater. She started
her acquaintance with him and
got really fond Of him before she
knew anything at all about him.
1t only goes to show that an in
si3tence on proper instroductions
Is not prudish or unreasonable. II
she hadn't flirted with him, she
would never have known him. Had
she been properly introduced to
him, he could not have sailed un-
der false colors. The introducer
would undoubtedly have explained
that he was already a husband and
father. When girl flirts, it's
like getting something out OF a
grab bag. She may get a prize
and she may get something more
than the money she has paid, but
usually she gives something AID
gets nothing. That's the only way
grab bags pay. And that's why
men try to flirt People who know
them know just who and what
they are. Therefore they sally out

There's nothing to do but forget

incident up to wisdom and expert

amused himself. That was what
he wanted and he got 1t. Now the
play is over for him He is tired
OF you and you bore him. Keep .
stiff upper lip and DON'T flirt
with any more men.

ED TELLS ANOTHER
Ed Angel, the Finley stol

Ed Angel, the Finley store
manager often has a joke to
tell when he comes to Kenne-
wick. The other day he told
one about the Irishman, the
Scotchman and the English
man speaking of the closest
races they ever saw. The
Scotchman said: 'The closest
race I ever saw was a yacht
race. It was only won by the
thickness of the paint on the
bow" The Englishman said,
"The closest race I ever saw
was a horse race. AS they
were coming around the curve
one horse, was stung on the
end of the nose by a bee. The
race was won by the swelling"
The Irishmen said nothing,
and pretty soon the English
man said "Well, Pat, what's
the closest race you ever saw?
Pat replied, Faith, and be
CORY, it's the Scotch"

Common Refrig-
orator Trouble

Many good refrigerators
are condemned and discarded
every year for their deficien-
cy in keeping cold, regardless
of how much ice is kept in
them. A frequent cause of
this deficiency is that explain
ed here, and it's cure is simple.
The ice rack in the bottom
of the ice chamber rests on
brackets of various construc-
ton, just over the cold-air
down vent, this rack being a
sheet of galvanized steel. Ev-
en- if it is corrugated, which
it usually is, it will in course
of time be bent down until it
rests on the flange surround
ing the vent hole, thereby
preventing the cold air from
sinking into the food cham
bers. There should never be
less than one inch of space be-
tween this rack and the top
of the flange around the vent
hole. When the rack becomes
bent, take it out and straight
en- it, even making it a little
convex if necessary to get re-
quired space. If the support
ing brackets under the rack
are broken or damaged, a lit
tie piece of wood may be used
to keep it properly elevated.
