The New Zoning Law in Effect

less than six months to make complete survey OF every
part OF the District and determine upon residential CONNER

started right at the beginning Years ago grade crossings
were eliminated and railroad lines and stations located
in proper order system of residential commercial and
industrial zoniDg ought to contribute to further beauca

its inhabitants
Until the passage of this law hard-working citizen
who bought lot and built home has not been safe from
encroachments of damaging nature Almost any sort OF
building business shack could be located next door to
him, and his protests were OF no avail.
Engineer Commissioner KUTZ has worked for the zon
ing law long time and is sanguine that the results to be
obtained will have the widespread approval of Washington
people.
Until the Zoning Commission, composed of the three
Commissioners the Superintendent Of Public Buildings and
Grounds and the Superintendent of the Capitol completes

many large Cities and there has nowhere been desire to
return to spshod methods of city planning Washington,
of all Cities ought to benefit immensely if the system
adopted is broad and liberal and not eelstic to
hamper construction plans The District cannot develop
much red tape thwas those who desire to build There
has long been complaint that existing building regulations
were restrictive of development owing to accumulation
of unnecessary red tape and petty interference.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
While Polly" has given the gen.
eral problem, I believe she has al
tered various non-essentials so as
to reveal her identity. Fair
enoughl Perhaps / am mistaken as
to the individual. but:
Myself a student at p local uni
versity. last July 4 ! met a divinity,
another student whom visited
regularly and had q good time with
until Christmas. At the very nrst
she informed me that she was en-
gagged to a fellow in another town.
did not wear q ring because she
knew he needed his money for other
purposes, but she had several other
fellows on her string and 1
imagined that the "other man" was
but a fiction calculated to give her
an added interest, and I ignored 1t,
she knowing that did not believe
the story though she often referred
to him. Later. afraid I was really
becoming infatuated with her, 1 In
vestigated and obtained informs-
tion from which / was confident
she was telling the truth. From
the desire not to be pierced by the
sharp end Of the eternal triangle,
I broke all strings with q short
misleading explanation to make
certain that nobody got hurt"
Don't think I'm weak-spined be-
cause I didn't stay to give the other
fellow a night for the prize. He
was absent, I could leave him the
laurels without pain to myself, and
IL I'd have won 1t would have been
genuine unhappiness for him.
The question is, should a girl who
considers herself as engaged allow
another fellow to lose his head over
her? 1t Ia all right to have a good
time with other boys but when one
of them Is really getting serious
don't you think she should stop the
AFFAIR at once? She should not be
engaged to someone whom she
doesn't love and IL that Is the case,
what has she to gain by letting an
other become infatuated with her?
Or. II she should become attached
to the newcomer, 1t would be an
equal injustice to the first. 1t looks
to me like a combination certain to
stir up unhappiness for someone

walk toddling back tomorrow IL 1
found my" enchantress not en-
gagged, I quail at what might have
happened IL I'd stayed any longer.
While undoubtedly fascinating and
amusing, do you think the game
she Is playing Is square to any Of
the boys? EPICTETUS.
I fail to see any way in which
young and beautiful girls can
prevent young men from losing
their heads. The insurance COM
panies, at least, have never been
willing to issue policies destined to
protect either the girl or the boy.
In this case, you admit the girl was
absolutely honest from the start,
an honesty you, for one, did not
appreciate.
