A POlicemen's Union Is
Inadvisable in Washington
By BILL PRICE.

So long as local promoters of the proposed National
Association of Policemen hold to their aims that it is not to
side aation with organizations that recognize the strike
proper there be well grounded public feeling that
they seeking to do by ndrecton what they were for
hidden to do directly by Congress and the Commissioners
1t all depends upon whether the organizers will be able to
hold the organization within the lines laid down.
Two of the main objects of the organization are six
day working week. with duty except or
emergency The Commissioners have long favored six day
week whenever they able to get the consent OF Congress
thereto. This would require at least 100 policemen
and Congress would probably not consent to this now with
the additional appropriations that would be necessary
Having obtained for the policemen and remen salaries
that are equal any paid in the United States the Com
mssoners propose to devote energy within their
power to obtaining Of salaries for the undpad
employees of the municipal government including the school
teachers The whole city concentrated upon the long fight
for increased for policemen and remen and there
should equally strong concentration for the school teach
for the thousands Of poorly paid employees of the
District government. Demands from any other quarter
might unbalance the fight for justice to thousands of others
who unsesy held aloof when the struggle for the police

policemen and fremen. 1t the main OF discourage
men to school teachers and municipal employees generally
We all join the fight for those who have not yet been
given just treatment All minor grievances can be subordi
mated to the principal one of a living wage.
1t is perfectly safe to say that the Washington police
force going play square with Congress- the Commits
soner and the Washington public to keeping out OF any
organization that remotely conempates swinging,
through roundabout methods into anything resembling
union having affiliations forbidden by act of Congress and
Objectionable public sentiment Neither will the police
insist upon pushing betternent of working conditions
until other District employees justly treated, if in doing
so will retard justice for worthy and women
The people of Washington have gotten along spendidy
with their policemen Mutual respect and confidence have
always been exhibited. Our fine body Of honor
able square fellows whose devotion to duty to high prn
cples and ideals is the subject of constant praise They
are only the custodians of law and order in big city,
but they the guardians of the interests of Uncle Sam

having no connections affiliations that will prevent their
doing their duty without fnching whether the offender is

From The Public To The Editor

Thinking that possibly you might be
sufficiently interested to write a short
editorial therefrom, 1 will briefly out
line their conversation which my at
tention was most forcibIy called to
by the remark that all women should
be whipped.
Followed by the remarks that wom-
en- should not be humored at any time ;
that women should consider them
selves below the equality of man, and
that men should not allow women to
consider themselves equal to man in
any respect.
At this part of the conversation
they alighted from the car, both ap-
parently in accord with each others
views.
Surely no man could harbor such
opinions as these and retain a shadow
of respect for the mother who gave
birth to him.

Would Make 'Dry Day" a
Holiday.
To the Editor Of THE TIMES:

the OF llbhS'
would like to offer to the public,
through the medium of your paper,
the proposal OF making July 1 a ma
tional holiday. Most holidays have
been so dedicated in memory of some
great achievement, and what greater
blessing ever befell a country than
the abolition of life-destroying liquor.
No doubt a few illiterate people will
not agree with me, but the real
American, with the welfare Of his
country in view, cannot help but. see
that a public commemoration will
bring to the minds of future Ameri-
cans the realization OF the curse that
once held the country in its power,
and they will offer up a prayer Of
thanksgiving that they have escaped
1t. Even without regard to the future
it would be only partial payment
of the great debt that we owe those
famous men who devoted their lives
and fortunes to bring 1t about. So
now that success Is theirs why not
let the world know the great esteem
in which the entire country holds

Morgan Bill Better Than Cash
Bonus

To the Editor of THE TINES:
AS you have supported plans for
bonuses to service men, 1 appeal to
you to support and give publicity to
the bill introduced in the House by
Congressman Morgan of Oklahoma
III. II. 5545).
This bill is the best by far OF any
OF the plans proposed to help men OF
the army, navy and marines. IL has
none Of the disadvantages OF the cash
bonus, which at best In only a tenn
porary benefit, and IL Is n lasting ben
eft not only to service men. but also
to the country at large.
1t should add 100000 home own
ers to our nation, thus strengthening
the defenses against Bolshevism.
Further, Il would increase our ma
tional wealth and impose no burden
of taxation on the people. American

the value of the Morgan bill and to

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAN MlSS rAlhr A.
/ have been going with a young
man Just my age for three years.
We are nothing like sweethearts
or engaged, but just pals" He
went to school with me and belongs
to both my clubs, therefore our
friendship. Six months ago my
mother and this young man had a
quarrel, which did not concern me
in the least. Ny mother has an
exceedingly nasty temper and he
has too. so you can imagine how II
was. She never forgot it-he did.
Neither is willing to forgive the
other, although the young man
never holds any hard feelings or
says anything about my mother to
ME or anybody else as far rs
know. But the reason I am writing
to you for your advice Is this: You
must understand that the quarrel
had nothing to do with me-,it was
a very foolish, childish fuss, and at
the time / was a little angry with
both Of them, but when my mother
forbade him coming to my home
and me from even seeing him again
I was very. very angry and al
though I did not take up for either
one, kept on going with my friend
in secrecy. Ny mother found II
out yesterday after six months be-
lieving he had gone out of my life
except for passing him in the
street. She was very angry. Her
temper always makes her a differ
ent woman and she told me to
choose between herself and him. I
told her would choose neither
one-because their quarrel was not
mine. Now, Miss Fairfax, do you
see why l should suffer? Do you
see why I should go around all
puffed up over nothing in the wide
world but giving in to the temper
of my mother? II she had a just
cause for my not seeing him It
would be different, bat she has not
as have told you-it was only
their silly quarrel. She spoke first
and he ended it--and II you ever
came across a hot-tempered person
especially woman-you know
for yourself that when anybody
gets the best of them in an argu-
ment that they simply hate that
person and everything about them.
This 10 not the only person she
has done this way with and made
me suffer. I am tired Of It. She

Anything To
Be Stylish.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Having read much advice you've
given to others in The Times. 1
want your advice about q matter
that has bean discussed greatly in
our office.
Many of the girls have pulled
out their eye brows to make them
a thin arched line. / admit this
makes great Improvement on
many girls, but don't you think Il
is just q little out OF order? Many
of the older women think it Is dis
graceful and makes one look
tough" or course this practice
seems to be all the style, and as l
am stylish otherwsise, I would like
to do IL. Tell me do you think 1t
would be wrong to do? d. M. H.
/ think it would be no more
wrong" than eating soup for
breakfast or wearing an evening
gown to work. If anyone wants
to be stylish" so desperately that
they are willing to spend valuable
hours having eyebrows plucked
o., all the time, it's their own
funeral and not mine. OF course,
once you start the practice, you
have to keep it up, and the more
the brows are plucked, the thick
er they grow. / cannot agree
that it improves anyone's ap-
pearance. Good eyebrows give
character to the face and make
the eyes seem larger and darker.
The little thin line some girls
are affecting Just now usually
gives a look Of superciliousness
to the face.
