Fairfax Writes the Problems and Pitfalls of Workers Here
Especially for Washington Women

most unhappy. Please tell me
what / should do. PETITE.
If you cannot settle down and be
good wife to the man you mar
ried, you certainly have no right to
continue to accept his devotion and
support After all, this is quid
pro quo world, and the young hus-
band doesn't seem to be getting
very much OF a square deal. To
take everything from him and give
nothing in return would certainly
be disgraceful. However, look be-
fore you leap this time. A 'tazz"
song OF few seasons ago related
that good men are hard to find"
and you seem to have one you don't
appreciate.
l can't resist the temptation to
hold you up as an example with
out any modifying adjective) for
the many readers who are dying to
get married before they are twen-
ty. You, like them. l suppose,
thought marriage was all moon
light and romance. You weren't
prepared for the settling down."
for being cut off from all the
parties and gayeties Of a crowd. In
other words you didn't visualize
all that marriage was 10 mean.
What shall you do? Heaven
only knows, you poor little butter
fly that hates to have its wings pin
ioned! Play fair with the man you
married, whatever else you do.
Don't spoil his life nor your own.
Try to get a copy of Eugene
O'Neill's Beyond the Horizon.
That may not solve your problem,
but it will make you understand a
lot OF things and perhaps crystal
lie your thoughts into actions.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
You have helped me before and
I'm sure you will help mo now
Last night boy friend Of mine
came down and brought three other
boys with him. I didn't know he
was going to bring them, and be-
cause couldn't find any girls fer
these .hree boys he got angry. DO
you think he should be angry with
me for that? Please, Miss Fairfax.
let me hear from you real soon.
PEGGY.
Your young friend is entirely
unreasonable. In the first place,
it was very ill-mannered to bring
his friends without first telepho7-
ing and asking your permission.
He sounds like something Of a
spoil sport and poor loser to me.
He's apparently the sort who is
good-natured when the weathc-'s s
fair but grouchy when it's stormy.
He should have appreciated your
effort to get your girl friends to
come, and, since they wouldn't,
should at least have remained
good-natured. Like all ill-temper-
ed persons, it doesn't occur to him
that the difficulty arose through
his own thoughtlessness. II he
had takcn the trouble TO telephone
YOU earlier, you would have had
more time to provide extra COM
panions.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

bEAh MlSS fAltFAA.
l have been keeping company
with young man for some few
months and am deeply in love with
him. We have had some misunder-
ing recently and do not see each
other. Would you ask him to send
me my picture and to give an ex-
planation Of his actions toward me,
or just let matters rest as they are?
Sometimes / am so angry that l
think 1 will forget him and not
let him worry me, but all in vain.
/ can neither eat, sleep, nor amuse
myself without having his face
was my fault that he refuses to
even speak to me, but I am at q
loss as to what to do. Won't you
please give me your always help
full advice? ACHING HEART.
WHY not tell HIM frankly
w and sweetly that you were
pretty mean, and that
you're sorry and you want to have
the good time you used to have all
over again? Almost no one can
resist an appeal like that. "I'm
sorry-I guess maybe WAS in
the wrong" is like balm to a mans
wounded feelings, pride and ego
tism, because that's what usually
causes quarrels like yours. Don't
play with the high and mighty
and demand your picture because
you'll probably get it and nothing
else. It's very difficult for some
persons to admit themselves in the
wrong even il they are, but SOME
ONE must do it; and, since you are
willing, it might as well be you.
Now, IL this making-up should
get underway, just remember it
will be very easy to spoil every
thing IL you let your temper get
the better of you. At least get
him we'll back in the fold before
you air any unpleasant opinions
as to why you quarreled.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
My girl friend and I went to Glen
Echo park Sunday, May 30, and
there met two boys. One of them
had a banjo. and together they gave
US good time. They took us
home, but we were obliged to leave
them at the car stop as we are not
allowed to have company, especially
at that time of night. These boys
read The Times and we trust they
may see this letter.
SWEET SIXTEEN.
This is such sheer impudence
that I just have to print it. Here
am I, week after week, inveigling
against flirtations and here are
two little minxes who want to use
my column to lure back two boys
who flirted and never came back
Just like the majority Of men
flirts. How any girl with spark
of pride can even WANT to hear
from boys who are not making
the least effort to see thcm again,
is beyond my comprehension. They
cheapened themselves by allowing
the boys to pick them up in the
first place and now they add to
the situation by wanting to run

Elaine Negro Cases will
 Go to U. s. Supreme Court

Little Rock, May 19.-(SpeciaD = An application for a writ of certiarri will be made to the United States Su- preme Court in the case of Frank Moore, Ed Hicks, Paiul Hall, Joe Knox, Frank Hicks and Ed Coleman, negroes under sentence of death for murder in connection with the Pril- lips county riots in this state last October
 The application, attorneys for the negroes said, would be based on the constitutional rights of the negroes for a flair and impartial trial which they allege was not given the negroes in Phillips county circuit court
 The cases of six other negroes con victed under the same charge were remanded for new trial by the state supreme court which resulted in a second conviction of murder in each case. Their cases also will be taken to the United States supreme court if their sentences are affirmed by the state supreme court.
 Attorneys for tho state say they will contest the application.

Are Trying to Cut the Nigh
 Cost of Clothing in Capital

Little Rock, May 19.-(SpeciaD - The campaign against the high price of clothing is on in Little Rock. Prac- tically every dry goods house in the city has started a drive on H. C. l., Prices had been maintained at high level until last week when the move ment for reduction became epidemic Now the dails papers are carrying one, two and four page ads announc- ing the slashing of prices to figures approximating pre-war times.
 The large department stores led in the movement with 20 per cent re- duction on everything in it's stock, in cluding all lines of dry goods, mems and womens ready-towear, and shoes. Every article in the store, with the exception of few restricted lines is being offered, so it is claimed, at less price than the house would be requir- ed to pay for the goods if they were purchased today in the wholesale markets. One of the largest exclusive shoe houses has announced a reduc tion of to 20 per cent on all it's stocks. One of the big merchants says:
 We have decided that we will do our share toward the drive to convince manufacturers and producers that the peak in prices has not only been reached, but that reduction must be- gin. It is an earnest, sincere desire to assist in reducing the H. c, l.. to the people of Little Rock and Arkan- sas. What we are doing is done with the hope that our best friends the great army of workers, will see that the only way the country can get low CT prices, and, at the same time, sus- tain the high wages that labor is en- titled to under present conditions, is to sand by the machinery and speed up production, instead of shortening hours The production which the country needs must be supplied. It is the scarcity of things which makes prices high.
